5* Rockies at Giants (966): I'm sold that flakey lefty Barry Zito is going to have one of those strong all around seasons, after a string of up and down campaigns. Lefties are like that. And no southpaw is pitching better, at 3-0 with a 1.32 ERA. Colorado is a team Zito has thrown very well against, with a 4-2 record and a 1.98 ERA. And now he has an improved San Fran offense working for him. The Rockies are not a great road team and starter Aaron Cook has struggled, with a 1-2 mark and a 5.01 ERA. He has a losing record and a 4.87 ERA all time against worse Giants teams than this one. Play the Giants.

555 LA Lakers +1.5: Lakers need to closeout this young OKC tonight and get some rest if they are going to have any chance at winning the next round. Putting Kobe on Westbrook was a genius move that really shut down the Thunders drive and kick. Look for Thunder to struggle again as Kobe's defense leads his team to a win. Too big and strong on inside as Lakers flex their strength tonight.

Re: 4-30-10

Guaranteed Pick: Ben Burns

Game: Arizona Diamondbacks at Chicago Cubs Apr 30 2010 2:20PM
Prediction: Chicago Cubs
Reason: I'm laying the price with the CHICAGO CUBS. The Diamondbacks scored the upset in yesterday's opener but I expect the Cubs to bounce back in a big way this afternoon. Wells gets the call and he's 2-0 with an excellent 2.49 ERA through four starts. Last time out, he allowed two runs through seven complete innings, en route to earning a 12-2 victory at Milwaukee. Note that he had six K's and zero walks. Lopez goes for the visitors and, unlike Wells, he's coming off a rough outing. While he escaped with a no-decision, he allowed 10 hits and six earned runs. That was at home, but Lopez also struggled in his lone road start. In that outing, at LA on 4/14, he gave up 11 hits in five innings, allowing five runs, four of them earned. Wells dominated in his only start against the Diamondbacks. In that game, he had a whopping 10 K's in seven innings, en route to earning a 5-0 victory. He allowed just three hits while walking only one. That works out to a 0.00 ERA and 0.571 WHIP. On the other hand, Well has an ugly 7.59 ERA in two starts against the Cubs. He was awful in his lone start here at Wrigley, allowing eight earned runs in 4 2/3 innings. He only had one strikeout, walked four batters and gave up nine hits. Even with yesterday's victory, Arizona is still just 49-59 in day games the past 2+ seasons. During that stretch, the Cubs are 97-69 when they've played during the day. After yesterday's loss, manager Lou Piniella noted: "We've got to have a little urgency" and I expect to see that today as the Cubs bounce back and even up the series. *8

The Lakers don't want this series to go any further. It's been a great showing by this young Thunder team, but I expect the Lakers to flex their muscles and end this series tonight. In fact, plays on road teams where the line is +3 to -3, after allowing 35 points or less in the first half last game, against an opponent that scored 35 points or less in the first half last game (same team in this case since it is a series), are 26-6 ATS the last 14 seasons, 10-3 ATS the last 5 seasons and 1-0 ATS this season. Under Phil Jackson, dominant play has been contagious. In fact, the Lakers are 12-2 ATS in road games after leading in their previous game by 20 or more points at the half under coach Jackson, winning by an average of 5 ppg in this situation. No Laker played more than 32 minutes in Game 5 so they should be fresh and hungry tonight. Kobe and the boys no this game is a big test in determining if they are ready to win another title. I just don't see them not showing up tonight.

7:05p Atlanta Hawks vs Milwaukee Bucks
Take: Atlanta Hawks -2-105 in 5h
5* NBA Playoffs Game of the Week on Hawks -2
I think you'll all agree with me that Atlanta is the more talented team. Milwaukee has played harder and smarter the last 3 games and it has won them all as a result, but I can't see the more talented side losing 4 straight times. This is one of the most motivated spots I've seen the Hawks in all season. They are playing with triple revenge and facing elimination after completely blowing Game 5 in the closing minutes. If the Hawks have any heart at all, and I think they do, they'll win this game comfortably tonight. Road favorites that are out to revenge an upset loss as a home favorite are 77-37 ATS the last 14 seasons, including 4-1 ATS this season. The favorite is 12-5-1 ATS in the last 18 meetings between these two teams. The Bucks are 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 playoff games as an underdog. The Hawks are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a small favorite of 4.5 or less points. The Hawks have the better players and the motivation, and this should result in a big win tonight.

Off back-to-back losses, look for the Twins to get back in the win column tonight whether or not Justin Morneau, who is listed as questionable, is able to go. Even with Morneau not in the lineup, I still think the Twins have the better offense. One that is averaging 5.0 runs per game compared to the 3.5 runs per game that the Tribe are averaging. But where I really see the advatage for the Twins tonight is on the hill. I know Carmona is off to a nice start this season, but the Twins are a team that knows him well and have punished him. In fact, Carmona has lost 4 straight decisions to the Twins with an earned run average of 5.20 in those starts. Meanwhile, Slowey has been downright nasty in 3 straight wins over the Indians, posting a 1.33 ERA in those starts. The Twins are 6-1 in their last 7 games following a loss. Take them to get back in the win column tonight.

His free pick is Reds/Houston over 7.5
