CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS + 110 TO +115 TO WIN THE SERIES AND ADVANCE.
This is a huge gut & feel play here from our camp as the last series play was the Boston Bruins to take out the Sabres. We are very selective on ice and the crew from the "Windy" city will take out the HP Pavilion boys. They showed us some pure and real fire power vs the Canucks and Imo they pounded a pretty good Canucks crew. We were very high on R. Louongo and they shelled him big time. A. Niemi is underrated in our opinion and he will shore up the Blackhawks crew.

We always talk about swager and moxie and this Blackhawks team will win the series and advance with a great chance of winning it all this year

Matchup: Pittsburgh at Chi. Cubs
Time: 2:20 PM EDT (Sun)
Listed pitchers must go: (R) OHLENDORF, R vs. (L) LILLY, T

Play: Pittsburgh (ML +219)

The Cubs are huge favorites as they look to avoid what would be an embarrassing sweep at Wrigley against the lowly Pirates. Considering that Chicago is not even a .500 team at home, the number in this game is simply too high. Ross Ohlendorf is making his second start off the DL and he was not very sharp in his return. But Ted Lilly has yet to find his form after getting off to a late start with his own injury issues. Lilly is getting by, but his K/IP ratio is way down from the norm, and he's therefore somewhat overpriced for this game. The Pirates have owned the Cubbies so far this season, and road dogs trying to complete the series sweep are a robust +740 so far this year. Make no mistake, the Cubs deserve to be the favorite in this game. But given the current team form and the fact their ace lefty is not displaying peak form, there's all kinds of value in catching the Bucs at such long odds. I'll gun for the big dog winner with the Pirates.




Matchup: Houston at San Francisco
Time: 4:05 PM EDT (Sun)
Listed pitchers must go: (R) MYERS, B vs. (L) ZITO, B

Play: Houston (ML +165)

Barry Zito has been terrific for the Giants, and I'm really not reading much into the 7BB he issued last time out. But Zito will likely have to be at his best today to beat even the lowly Astros. Houston sends out Brett Myers, who hasn't been bad at all lately. The big key here, however, is that the already offensively challenged Giants may well have to go with a patchwork lineup for the series finale. Pablo Sandoval got hurt on Friday, and I doubt he'll be in action today. Mark DeRosa is banged up, Benjie Molina is due for day off behind the dish, and closer Brian Wilson had to throw 39 pitches in his Saturday save, likely rendering him inactive for this game. The Astros are a road dog looking to avert the series sweep, and playing on those sides has been a big winner so far this season. Good spot for a gamble on the big dog, so the Astros are my choice today.


Dave Cokin

Matchup: Boston at Orlando
Time: 3:30 PM EDT (Sun)

Play: Orlando (-6.5 -110)

The Celtics are not going to have a letdown off the big series win over the top-seeded Cavaliers. This team has too much veteran poise to fall victim to that tendency. But I like the Magic to get off to the good start in this series. Orlando has been awesome in the playoffs so far, winning all eight of their games, most of them in spectacularly easy fashion. The Magic are obviously the fresher team coming off a much less taxing series than the Celtics, and I think Orlando matches up well with this opponent as well. I believe the number for Game One is a bit on the short side and the Magic know full well they can't afford to let the Celtics get hold of the home court advantage. Look for a strong statement by the higher seed in the opener. Go with the Magic minus the points

I’m now 47-38 with my last 85 free plays.

Take the Reds for the home win over the Cardinals.

Brad Penny will start for St. Louis and he’s pitched well but hasn’t received much run support recently.

The Red Birds have given Penny just five total runs of support in his last three starts, all losses.

Bronson Arroyo will start for Cincinnati and he’s coming off solid start on Monday when he gave up one run and five hits in seven innings of a 2-1 win at Pittsburgh.

The right-hander is 1-0 with a 1.10 ERA in his last two starts against St. Louis.

The Reds have won six of their last seven and are a major league-best 13-5 since April 25.

Take the Reds as they grab the home win.

I’m 17-8 with my last 25 comp selections, including 10-3 with baseball free plays in May. Sunday’s complimentary release comes from the Windy City, as I’ll take the Pirates as a massive underdog against the Cubs.

Maybe Chicago wakes up and actually avoids the sweep here, but for this team to be laying two-to-one odds against anyone – let alone a team they’ve lost five straight games to – is ludicrous. Yeah, you read that right: Pittsburgh is now 5-0 against the Cubs this year, and the Pirates have given up just 14 runs along the way (and six of those runs were scored in Friday’s 10-6 game at Wrigley Field). And keep in mind, the Pirates entered Saturday with a hefty 5.78 team ERA overall and 6.73 team ERA on the road.

That Pittsburgh’s staff has enjoyed success against the Cubs’ offense isn’t a surprise, because the middle of Chicago’s lineup continues to be an abomination. No. 3 hitter Derek Lee is batting .230 (his average hasn’t been about .230 since April 23) and cleanup hitter Aramis Ramirez is batting .170 (Ramirez has had just two multi-hit games all season).

Another reason the Cubs have no business being such a big favorite: Ted Lilly, who takes the ball in this one, has been anything but automatic. He’s 0-3 with a 6.50 ERA in his last three outings (he was a minus-150 favorite in all three games), including 0-2 with a 6.75 ERA in two home games. Two starts ago, Lilly faced the Pirates in Pittsburgh and gave up four runs on nine hits in six innings of a 4-2 loss, making Chicago is 1-3 in Lilly’s four starts against the Pirates since the start of last season.

Lastly, the Cubs are THE worst money team baseball (meaning they’ve cost their supports more than any of the other 29 teams), while the Pirates are #6 on the money list.
2? PITTSBURGH


Karl Garrett Comp

G-Man on a 7-2 comp play run the last 9 days.

NL West action today, and I will jump on San Diego to avoid the sweep at home at the hands of the LA Dodgers.

Padres have dropped the first two this weekend to their division rival, but they should be able to get something cooking action Chad Billingsley whose season ERA is near 5.

Wade LeBlanc will counter for the Pads, and LeBlanc is 2-0 with a 1.61 ERA for the year. I expect LeBlanc to blank the Dodgers for the better part of this game, and for the San Diego bats to get just enough offense to win this game in low-scoring fashion.

Los Angeles has now won 6 in a row, and are starting to make some noise in the West standings, this becomes a must win for the Padres as they look to stay on solid ground in the NL West division.

LeBlanc rights the ship!

MLB
Oakland vs. Angels
3:35 EST

For a number of different reasons I believe the value in this contest is on the home side:

Trevor Cahill gets the nod for the A's; Cahill has been unremarkable so far this year and got a no-decision his last time out; he allowed two earned runs on four hits and two walks with one K Tuesday vs. the Rangers; he's 1-1 with a 4.60 ERA.

He's made three starts for Oakland; last year Cahill went 3-6 on the road with a 5.10 ERA.

In the other dugout: Joel Pineiro heads to the mound for the Angels; after starting slowly, Pineiro bounced back in his last outing and I expect the right-hander to build off that performance.

Pineiro allowed no runs on five hits and one walk in 6 1/3 innings with seven K's.

He has five quality starts in seven attempts this year but his team has let him down; he's 2-4 with a 4.50 ERA thus far.

Bottom line: The Angels are looking to complete the 3-game sweep; Pineiro gets to face a club thats produced just five total runs during its second four game losing streak of the season.

Cahill vs. Pineiro = advantage ANGELS; *6* "PUNISHER" ANGELS.

Look for Orlando's stingy defense to be a tough task for the Celtics. Take the Magic to seize a victory in Game 1 of the Conference Finals in Beantown. Orlando is 7-1 ATS in its last 8 games at home and the total has gone ‘under’ in 7 of the last 8 meetings, 9 of the last 12 in Orlando.
