Not a bad price on Shields and the Rays tonight when they take on Vargas and the Mariners in Seattle. Shields has already won four of his five team starts this season, and has a 3.37 ERA on the year. That includes two straight starts where he went seven innings, allowing a combined 3 ER’s. And Tampa Bay won those games by a combined 15 runs. Seattle has lost three in a row, scoring a combined 4 runs total in those three games. Lay the small number.
Atlanta Hawks vs. Orlando Magic
Play: Orlando Magic -9
Orlando finished six games better that Atlanta in the standing in the regular season as well as winning three of four during the year against Atlanta. Atlanta did win the last meeting these two teams played by two points at home late in the year. Orlando, despite foul trouble to Howard, was still able to sweep through Charlotte. Atlanta was taken to 7 games by Milwaukee and had to win games 6 and 7 to advance against their divisional rivals. Look for Howard to stay disciplined on defense and dominate on offense as they Magic win at home in game one. Play Orlando
Utah Jazz vs. Los Angeles Lakers
Play: Los Angeles Lakers -6
Deron Williams of the Jazz was banged up in the final seconds of their series clincher in game 6 over Denver. That injury set him to be a game time decision. The decision made was to have him play and it was a good one as he had a team high 24 points and a game high 8 assists. However, that wasn't enough to overcome Kobe's game high 31 points and 25 points from Gasol. Look for Deron Williams to have another good game and attempt to get his teammates shooting well, but once again fall short as the high number of minutes on the stars are really starting to mount as the Lakers are just too deep. Play LA Lakers
