Matchup: Washington at N.Y. Mets
Listed pitchers must go: (R) ATILANO, L vs. (R) MAINE, J
Play: N.Y. Mets (ML -147)

There's no way to consider Mets righty John Maine as reliable for any lengthy stretch of time. But we've seen several short bursts of excellence from Maine and the idea is to back him when he's hot and stay on him till he goes cold. I see Maine having a very good shot at putting together a third straight solid outing tonight as he faces Washington. Maine has sturdy career numbers against this team, and the Mets have been playing very well at home. Their loss to the Giants on Sunday snapped a nine-game home winning streak. I also like the hosts to knock around Nationals rookie Atilano, who is not a particularly well regarded prospect. After two good performances, Atilano was raked in his last start and my guess is that he won't be with the big club much longer, likely lasting only until the call to Strasburg gets made. This is a big number for me, but I like the spot and I'll play the Mets to win tonight.

Matchup: Philadelphia at Colorado
Listed pitchers must go: (R) KENDRICK, K vs. (L) SMITH, G
Play: Philadelphia (ML +101)

The Phillies are not as daunting offensively against lefties, but I don't see Greg Smith being dominant against this lineup. Smith's splits are not all that much stronger against lefty hitters, and his recurring control issues could figure here against a patient Philly lineup. The Rockies are a bit shorthanded for this contest. Carlos Gonzalez is away from the team due to a death in his family, and shortstop Troy Tulowitzki's status is in doubt with his knee banged up. Kyle Kendrick has been working hard trying to add a splitter to his repertoire and he seems to be getting the hang of it to some extent. Colorado is very tough at home, but with perhaps two of the Rockies best offensive performers missing this game, I can't see them as even small chalk against the two-time defending NL Champs. I'll side with the visiting Phillies to get the money tonight.

Matchup: L.A. Lakers at Utah
Play: L.A. Lakers (ML +130)

I had the Suns on the money line Sunday in the NBA, and my thinking is precisely the same for tonight's Game Four clash between the Lakers and Jazz. I don't see the spread coming into play in this contest. If the Lakers relax and the Jazz come out firing, Utah will probably get an easy win. But more likely, the Lakers are going to want to make sure they don't have to go back to LA for another game, thus getting them almost the same amount of rest as the Suns are going to enjoy after polishing off San Antonio. It's also notable that the Lakers simply have this team's number, and after losing a real heartbreaker on Saturday night, this is not a good spot for the Jazz. It's a game I expect the Lakers to win, and I'm therefore going to go for the better odds by backing them on the money line.

Match-up: Orlando at Atlanta
Play: Orlando (-5.5 -110)

Magic vs. Hawks 8:00 p.m. est. TNT (Orlando leads series 3-0)
If you've been watching this Eastern Conference Semi-Final you are asking the same question as most, "How on earth did the Atlanta Hawks ever win (53) games this season". When matched-up against the elite teams of the NBA in the Eastern Conference, (Cleveland, Boston and Orlando), the Hawks are (13-32) in the past (3) seasons. One of the reasons is that they don't play have a deep bench and that is a problem that has reared it's head in this series. Atlanta is overmatched trying to contend with the East's best Big Man and one of the top three point shooting teams in the NBA. Atlanta hasn't had much success with Orlando, losing (5) of (6) on their home court and (9) of the past (10) meetings overall ATS. Magic are on fire and look like a team that wants to show they can dominate with a (19-6-1) ATS run to end the season. The Magicians work their Magic and await their next opponent back at home in the "Magic Kingdom"

3* #729 Orlando Magic

John Ryan
Game: Philadelphia Phillies at Colorado Rockies May 10 2010 8:40PM
Prediction: Philadelphia Phillies
Reason:


5* graded play on Philadelphia as they take on Colorado set to start at 8:40 EST. Our proprietary sports handicapping model and simulator shows a high probability that the Phillies will win this game. Supporting this graded play is a system that has produced a record of 75-43 making 32.3 units since 1997. Play against home teams when the money line is +125 to -125 and with a very good bullpen whose WHIP is 1.250 or better on the season and has a well rested bullpen having thrown 3 innings or less over last 2 games. Phillies offense is the best in the NL and don?t forget they have been going through a period with significant injuries to starters, bullpen, and Jimmy Rollins. There is not a pitching staff in MLB that can consistently shut down this offense. Colorado is just 3-10 (-9.8 Units) against the money line in home games vs. an NL team with an on base percentage of .340 or better over the last 2 seasons. Another reason Philadelphia has ben so good over the past several seasons is that they win the games that are projected to be close contests. Phillies are 32-16 (+16.3 Units) against the money line on the road when the money line is +125 to -125 over the last 2 seasons. Kendrick is getting into top form and he is coming off a 7 inning start allowing ZERO ER on 6 hits in a 4-0 Phillies win against the Cardinals. Rockies starter Smith is coming off a 5 inning start allowing just 1 ER, BUT he allowed 5 BB. The last team a starter with control issues wants to face is the Phillies. Not only are the Phillies powerful and score an abundance of runs, they do it with tremendous patience. Working deep counts is going to hurt Smith greatly. Take the Phillies.

Play: Orlando (-5.5 -110)

We have seen this Magic team totally dominate this young Atlanta Hawks team and I don’t see that changing here in game four. This number is a little inflated but I am willing to lay it.

ORLANDO: 26-11 ATS after winning 20+ of their last 25 games

ATLANTA: 2-13 ATS in the second round of the playoffs

Utah Jazz -2.5

The Jazz are one of the best home teams in the NBA and this 3-0 Laker lead should actually be a lot closer (especially compared to the Orlando-Atlanta series). Utah has a lot of good players and a great coach who will not allow them to lay down tonight. Look for the Jazz to win in virtually every category (particularly in the free-throw battle) and force a Game 5 back in Los Angeles. As always, Deron Williams is arguably the best point guard left in the playoffs and is the key to the success of the Jazz. He will lead them to a convincing victory tonight. Take Utah.


New York Mets -155

John Maine is starting to heat up and is the better pitcher in this matchup. The Mets have proven early in the season that they are for real and a viable contender in the NL East. They have a more potent offense and are playing some great baseball, especially at home. Take the Mets in an easy win.
