Al DeMarco
Al DeMarco Saturday's Play 5 Dime - Minnesota Twins ML

One of the keys to my success when it comes to baseball is reviewing every boxscore of every game on a daily basis, committing to memory the pitching lines of those starters that catch my attention. One such pitcher was Minnesota's Francisco Liriano, who after losing his first four starts of the season, allowing 17 earned runs in 21 innings pitched, seemingly turned the corner with a strong performance against Tampa on April 28 in which he held the Rays to two runs in 6 2/3 innings. But it was his next start this past Monday that made me commit to backing him today, an outing where he shutdown Detroit, fanning a season-high nine while holding the Tigers to two runs on four hits over 7 1/3 innings.

Tonight's game represents a rematch for Liriano of his first start of the season - also at home - against Seattle and Felix Hernandez. In that contest, the Minnesota lefthander absorbed the loss after allowing four hits and four runs in seven innings. For Hernandez, it marked a season-opening run of five straight wins as he limited the Twins to one run on five hits over eight innings.

Hernandez had his winning streak snapped in his last outing. Coming off a bout with the flu, the righthander was tagged for 10 hits and six earned runs by red-hot Texas at home. That contest started a Seattle losing streak that was extended to five in a row with last night's 11-0 loss as the Mariners have scored a total of nine runs in that period with only four of them coming in the last four games.

The Twins snapped their own three-game slide with last night's outburst. With Liriano rounding back into form and the Mariners struggling offensively, I'll back the Minnesota southpaw in home revenge at a cheap price noting his 2.32 career ERA in five previous starts versus Seattle.

Re: 5-9-09

Guaranteed Pick: Scott Spreitzer

Game: Tampa Bay Rays at Boston Red Sox May 9 2009 3:40PM
Prediction: Boston Red Sox
Reason: I'm laying the price with the Red Sox on Saturday afternoon. I used Boston for my AL Game of the Month last night and cashed a 7-3 final. Until the Rays can show some signs of life at the plate in today's situation, I'll continue to look to play against them. The Rays are 0-2 and score just 1.5 rpg in road day games against southpaws this season. In fact, they're 2-8 and average just 3.5 rpg in 10 outings anywhere/anytime against lefties in 2009. One of the big problems at the plate happens to be the season-long slump endured by B.J. Upton. When your lead-off man can't get on base, you're in a hole out of the blocks. Upton comes into Saturday's game hitting just .152 on the season, including UNDER .115 away from home. Lefty Jon Lester takes the mound today. While his overall numbers don't look too hot, he has pitched better at Fenway. In three home outings, Lester owns a 3.50 ERA. The red-hot BoSox have won each of his last four starts. And after a miserable start to the season, Lester has really turned things around. In those four outings, Lester has pitched a total of 26 innings, allowing just 10 earned runs and 34 base runners, while striking out 33 batters. That adds up to a 3.46 ERA and 1.31 WHIP. Lester owns strong numbers in eight career starts against the Rays, which counters Scott Kazmir's success in Fenway. Overall at home, Lester is now 17-3 with a 3.32 ERA. Finally, while the Rays can't score in the situation I explained above, Lester should be backed by decent offensive numbers. Boston is 4-1 at home against southpaws this season, scoring an average of 7.6 rpg. And, they're plating 6.1 rpg in 10 overall outings against lefties. And while Lester has improved dramatically since his first two starts, Kazmir is heading in the other direction. The TB lefty has allowed six earned runs each in three of his last four starts. He's allowed 12 earned runs and 22 base runners in his last two starts, spanning just 10 1/3 IP. That's a 10.49 ERA & 2.14 WHIP. The starter in better current form is also backed by the MUCH better offense. I'm laying the price with the Red Sox on Saturday afternoon. Thanks! GL! Scott.
Paid and confirmed.

Trace Adams
1500* - Dallas Mavericks, 500* - Cincinnati w/Harang over Lohse Things have been going along swimingly for the Nuggets this postseason, and they do come to Dallas up 2-0 in this best-of-seven series. I have a feeling the extra day off is going to benefit the Mavericks in this one.

Dallas knows a loss today, means pretty much a series loss, so expect them to throw the kitchen sink at the Nuggets in an effort to get on board in the series. The Mavericks actually played Denver tough up until the 4th quarter in both losses in Denver, so all they need to do is string together a solid close today, and they will be just fine.

Remember, the Mavericks have won, and covered both of their playoff home games so far, and with losses in their last pair at home to Denver, you get the feeling the Mavs are due for a home win over Denver.

Mark me down for a play on the Mavericks minus the number to get the win, and cover.

1500? - Dallas Mavericks

In baseball, coming with the Reds and Aaron Harang over the Cardinals and Kyle Lohse.

Harang looked solid in a no-decision against Florida his last time out, working 7 innings of 2 run ball, and his home ERA is 2.84 which is pretty good considering his last home start saw 5 runs in 5 innings in a loss to Houston.

Lohse saw his undefeated 3-0 mark take a hit his last time out, allowing 6 runs in 4 innings of work at home to Philadelphia.

Cincy is capable of hanging a similar number on Lohse tonight, and with the Reds still under .500 at home, look for them to get it going in this home date.

500? - Cincinnati w/Harang over Lohse

??Note: Both listed pitchers must start, or no action on the play!??

Play: CAVS
Comments: The Cleveland Cavaliers will try & take a commanding 3-0 lead in tonight's Game 3 of their Semifinal series against the Atlanta Hawks. So far, Cleveland has dominated this series as they have outscored Atlanta in 7 of the 8 quarters played & have won both games by 20 points or more. It could be more of the same tonight if Joe Johnson (ankle), Al Horford (ankle) & Marvin Williams (wrist) aren't at full strength for Game 3. The Hawks might look to Maurice Evans to provide some offense, as he led Atlanta with 16 points despite the Game 2 blowout loss. Cleveland shot 54 percent from the field and had 5 players score in double-figures during their huge blowout win. Look for the Cavaliers to notch another big blowout victory & set up a sweep for Monday night. All Cavs!

Comments: The Dallas Mavericks are hoping that some Texas home-cookin' will get them back into their series against the Denver Nuggets in Game 3 of the Semifinals. Josh Howard will be available tonight after playing just 6 minutes in Game 2 while leaving with a sprained ankle injury. The Mavericks will again need an answer for Nene Hilario, as Nene is averaging 24.5 points per game on 68 percent shooting so far in this series. J.R. Smith will also need to be contained, as he is averaging 18 points per game off the bench on 57 percent shooting. Look for Dallas to show some urgency tonight & win Game 3 at home against Denver. All Mavs!
