20 DIMER - PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS....10 DIMER - CUBS (Dempster over Rodriguez)
20 DIMER - PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS
Portland had their 4-game win and cover streak snapped on Sunday at Houston, and now they must deal with the streaking Grizzlies who have won and covered their last 4, and 5 of 6. Easily the best stretch of a lost season for Memphis, but that streak is coming to a halt in a big way tonight.
Portland has to deal with San Antonio, and the Lakers over their next pair of games, so they better take advantage against a Memphis team that is still 22-54 on the year despite their 4 game uptick.
The Blazers have won the last 6 in the series, and have covered in 5 of those 6. Make it 7 straight, and 6 of 7 against the line.
Take Portland.
10 DIMER - CHICAGO CUBS (Dempster over Rodriguez)
Looks to the G-Man as if the Chicago Cubs are once again the team to beat in the NL Central Divison, as Chicago looked strong in taking the season opener 4-2 last night.
I will ride Ryan Dempster laying the road wood in this one, as Chicago gets it done for a second night in a row at Minute Maid Park.
Most of Ryan Dempster's success last season did come at Wrigley, but he did work 8 scoreless at Houston last August in a win, and his road ERA last year was just a tad over 3.
Houston could not do much on offense last night, and they won't do much on offense tonight.
Take the Cubs.
Today's Complimentary Selection
The Cavaliers rolled the Spurs as my Sunday comp play to make it 11-2 the last 13 days with my comp plays!
After a Monday rain out in Beantown, coming right back with the defeding American League champion Rays plus money against the Red Sox.
Tampa has struggled at Fenway in regular season's past, but after exorcising some demons in last October's ALCS against Boston, I don't see any reason they can't snag an opening day upset win over the Sox.
Josh Beckett's home ERA last season was well over 5, and there is no reason the Rays shouldn't be able to get their licks in against him.
James Shields has had his ups and downs against Boston, but the righty did win 14 games last season, which is 2 more wins than Beckett sported at the end of the season.
Underdog play at Fenway Park on Tampa Bay Tuesday.
1? TAMPA BAY
(on a 1? to 5? basis)
