Indian Cowboy 9/23

4 Unit Play. Take Over 176.5 between the Phoenix Mercury @ LA Sparks (Wednesday @ 10pm est). Sometimes it is not a good idea for a team to defeat another team just prior to the playoffs. Such is the case as these two heavyweights meet each other in the final four of the wnba playoffs. With that in mind, I expect Phoenix to have some revenge today. Keep in mind that they also lost the first game of the series to San Antonio earlier in these playoffs so they will look to not start off in a big hole. The road team has won outright and covered the spread the last three times these two teams have hooked up and I believe that will likely be the case in the playoffs for covering the spread. But rather than go against the Sparks here, I like taking the over with Phoenix as the active dog. The Over is 16-5 for the Mercury the last 21 ballgames and the Over is 2-0 this year when Phoenix has played LA in Staples.
4 Unit Play. Take Under 146.5 between the Indiana Fever @ Detroit Shock (Wednesday @ 8pm est). These two teams are defensive by nature. Notice the last game in Detroit between these two teams the game totaled at 133 - and that was with overtime. I don't believe that was a fluke by any nature. I sincerely believe that these two teams are defensive mind-framed squads. The Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between these two teams. And, given that this is the stepping stone to the WNBA Championships, I like a defensive effort out of the game for both of these teams. I normally would have a much longer write-up, but indeed I believe the principle is that simple today. I expect a quality effort from both teams, the total is slowly starting to drop and I like this game to be a defensive contest similar to the last game these to two teams played in the Palace.
Good luck,

Dodgers at NationalsPick: Dodgers -183
The Washington Nationals are completing yet another 100 loss season. They will go with Ross Detwiler against the Dodgers in this one. Detwiler has been an automatic fade for the Nats, as he has made 11 starts for the Nationals, and they are 0-11 in those starts. He has now appeared in 13 big league games with his team at 0-13. Chad Billingsley is a top of the rotation pitcher, and he is 3-0 for his career vs the Nats. The Nats are now 36-102 following a loss. The Dodgers are 13-5 vs the Nats in their last 18 meetings, and this one is lopsided. I'm going with LA here.

WUNDERDOG WNBA 9/23

Game: Indiana at Detroit (8:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: 5 units on Detroit -130 (moneyline) (risk 5 to win 3.9)

This should be a great series with the winner advancing to the Finals. Indiana is the top seed, coming in at 24-12. They dispatched of Washington in two games, winning by nine and seven points. Detroit is just 20-16 on the season, but hold on a minute. This team started off 2-7. They have since gone 18-9 and they have won 11 of their last 13! Now I ask, which is the better team? The oddsmakers have made this one about even but they are off. It's not just the recent performance that favors Detroit. It's also the location. In the WNBA, homecourt advantage is big. Indiana, despite going 15-3 at home is just 9-9 on the road this year. Detroit is 12-6 at home. They've won seven straight at home and ten of their last twelve. Meanwhile, Indiana has gone 2-5 in their last seven road games. Detroit knows what it takes to win in the postseason, having won two of the last three championships. Detroit is hot right now having scored 94, 80, 94 and 94 in their last four games. This season the Shock are 12-5 after scoring 70+ in back-to-back games and 89-2 after reaching that figure in four straight games. They are also a near-perfect 8-1 after scoring 90 points in their prior game. I like the Shock to get it done here at home.
Game: Phoenix at Los Angeles (10:00 PM Eastern)

Pick: 4 units on Phoenix +3 (-110) (risk 4 to win 3.6)

Do you remember that 1991 song by C&C Music Factory, "Things That Make You Go Hmmmm"? Well this game reminds me of that song. Phoenix won five more games than LA this season. Phoenix beat LA in three out of four regular season meetings. Yet, the Mercury are the underdog here. Hmmm. Phoenix is averaging 99 points in the playoffs after setting a WNBA record for points scored in the regular season (92.8 per game). Yet, they are the dog here. Hmmm. Well maybe Phoenix can't win on the road? Actually they are 11-7 away from home, not much worse than the Sparks' 12-6 home mark. Hmmm. Maybe the Mercury only beat up on lesser opponents, struggling to beat good teams. Actually, Phoenix is 12-5 ATS this season vs. winning teams including 7-0 in their last seven games. But Phoenix is coming off a poor defensive showing, allowing 92 points to San Antonio. That can't be good, right? As a matter of fact, Phoenix has done this 18 times this season and they are 14-4 ATS in games following a poor defensive effort. Finally, the Sparks are 0-8 ATS the past three seasons coming off a double-digit road win. I like Phoenix plus the points here.

1000* - Detroit w/Porcello over Masterson, 500* - Cincinnati w/Bailey over Hart
Big win for the Tigers last night, as Minnesota kept the pressure on in the Central with their win at Chicago.

Have to lay it, and ride the Tigers once again, as Cleveland has now lost 9 straight, and are just 6-20 their last 26 games overall.

The Tigers continue to own the season series, going 5-2 at Progressive Field, and 12-4 overall in this years season series.

Rick Porcello certainly rates the edge over Justin Masterson, as Procello is 13-9, while Masterson is just 3-7.

Porcello has made a living this year against the Indians, as he is 2-0 in his 3 starts against them, and has allowed just 4 runs in 20 innings of work.

With the Twins unyielding, the Tigers NEED to continue to win.

Detroit with the win tonight.

1000? - Detroit w/Porcello over Masterson

???NOTE: Both listed pitchers must start, or no action on the release!???

The Reds hooked me up with a Pay-After winner last night, and I am riding them again tonight against a Pittsburgh team that has lost 4 straight, and 7 of 8. The Pirates are also in a free-fall of 13-40 overall their last 53 games.

Cincy continues to close strong, winning their last pair, and 7 of 9 overall. The Reds have also won the last 6 meetings against the Bucs, and are 9-4 overall in the season series against Pittsburgh.

It will be Bailey against Hart, and Homer Bailey has pitched well his last 3 times out, working 18 innings of 4 run ball, but is 0-1 to show for it.

Bailey has 5 wins this season, 2 of them coming against Pittsburgh, while his counterpart Kevin Hart is riding a 5 game losing streak coming into this home start, and has allowed 18 runs in his last 27 innings of work.

Reds are hot, Pirtates are not...It is just that simple.

Lay the road wood, and play Cincy.

500? - Cincinnati w/Bailey over Hart
