Take the Under 188 between the Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Orlando Magic
I have a play on the side in this contest, but I like a total here as well. Bear in mind that this is a must win for the Cavs. The Cavs are down 2-1 and to be frank, they have been a bit outplayed in this series. I do feel like they show up in this contest for most of the game and consequently will likely push this game Under. The Cavs are an under team by nature, but with the Magic being competitive on the road has the pushed the total over consequently. But, in Orlando, it is a bit different as the Cavs remain competitive and they play their style of pace and offense. Thus, this pushes games under which was the case in Game 3 despite the Magic winning. Bear in mind, that although the Magic won the Cavs dictated pace. The Cavs can only win if they play one type of pace while the Magic can win both in an offensive shootout or a defensive lockdown. Although I have a play on the side in this game, as per this total I lean on the Under as I feel that this game is likely to go Under similar to game 3 in a very hard fought Game 4 which we are likely to see play out tonight.Comment

300? UNDER Tigers/Royals - Where do we start with what I believe will be a low-scoring, pitchers’ duel?
The Tigers have stayed low in six of their last seven while Kansas City has stayed under in three of its last four. And with Edwin Jackson and Zack Greinke toeing the slab, I have to believe we’re making the right move with the under in this game.
Jackson has been surprisingly good through the first couple months, as the right-hander has a 2.55 ERA on the year, and that’s been bolstered by a 2-1 mark in four road starts, along with a stifling 1.33 ERA. After two second-rate campaigns with Tampa Bay, Jackson has emerged with the lowest ERA of Detroit’s rotation in 2009. He’s now 3-0 with a 1.64 ERA in his last three outings, including last Thursday, when he allowed three runs over eight frames in a 4-3 victory against Texas.
With Greinke, we have a young and hungry pitcher who is still 7-1 with a 0.82 ERA despite the fact Kansas City has lost two of the last three times he’s toed the slab. Don’t think that fat has escaped him. He’s yet to allow a home run and continues to lead the majors in ERA. Get this, he’s gone 19 straight innings against the Tigers without allowing an earned run. He’s already tossed a three-hitter April 24 versus the Tigers this year in a 6-1 victory. Greinke is 5-0 in six home starts and has a 1.05 ERA there.
Let’s play this one lowComment

40 DIME HOUSTON ASTROS (WITH Oswalt) - I know the Astros have dropped five straight to tie a season high, and I know Roy Oswalt comes into this one having allowed a minimum of three runs in four straight starts, while failing to last seven innings in any of them; but the fact is the Astros couldn’t ask for a better opponent and a better pitcher to shake off both funks.
They call him the Reds killer, he’s taking the hill tonight and I’m jumping into this one head first.
Houston is a stunning 24-6 when right-hander Roy Oswalt toes the slab against the Reds, and an even more remarkable 12-2 when he starts in Cincinnati. And how about this number: Oswalt brings in a lifetime 23-1 record against the Reds along with a 2.35 ERA.
Oswalt is a perfect 8-0 in 10 starts against the Reds the past three years, and surprisingly, the only two game he didn’t win over that duration was this season, despite a pair of outstanding performances. The fiery hurler gave up just one run over 13 innings in those contests.
Houston should get the run support he’ll need against Micah Owings, who is looking to halt a personal two-game skid and comes in after getting shellacked for five runs in three innings last Thursday night in a 12-5 home loss to Philadelphia. And while I know Owings is 2-1 in his three home starts, all three have gone over and much of that is due to his 5.63 ERA at Great American Ball Park.
We’re laying the road chalk here with the Astros tonight, as Oswalt works his magic once again.Comment
