double-dime bet 522 BOS -3.5 (-110) BetUS vs 521 ORL
Analysis:


Boston -3.5

Forget the bumps and bruises, THIS IS A MUST WIN GAME AT HOME FOR BOSTON! They can bury this thing tonight at home, and they will not play shoddy and lose poise€. Boston gets back to basics tonight, they shoot well at home and at some point you throw out the stats and realize the Celtics have a bitter taste in their mouth after last games total meltdown, and they bring their A game and beat the Magic in the same building they buried Cleveland, the best team in the East in.

Play 2 Units on Boston

5-Unit Play. Take #655. Take Over 149 Washington Mystics vs. Los Angeles Sparks (Friday @ 10:35pm est)

This is a good spot here for both teams to put up some points. Washington Mystics are a very good team and I am very high on them this year. This is the reason why I took them at home against New York for a 5* selection earlier this year and they ended up winning by 16 points. This team went into Seattle, a perennial contender for the WNBA Championship and put up 76 points nearly beating the Storm outright. That game ended up going to a 158 points despite starting very slow on the pace. That was a game this team again nearly won outright as they covered the eight point spread. I actually expect Washington to win cover this game on the road against LA - but at the same time, note that the Sparks are 0-3 and look to avoid going 0-4. And, to the Sparks credit, they have had the toughest schedule thus far in the league to open the season facing the likes of Seattle, San Antonio and Phoenix onthe road. Simply brutal. Now, they face a very good Washington team at home who they could lose to as well. The Sparks defense has been suspect thus far this year giving up 78, 81 and 88 points most recenty to San Antonio. Washingotn has plenty of scoring prowess and I wouldn't be a bit surprised if this game went over 150 as I expect Washington to put up between 75 and 80 points and consquently LA to keep pace. Look for Washington to try to bounce-back off the Seattle loss on the road and be an active dog, and look for the Sparks to kick off their home opener in nice fashion as they look for a strong effort as they seek their first win. Over is 10-4 in the last 14 meetings between these two teams and the Over is 5-1 when the Mystics play on two days rest.

triple-dime bet 972 DET (-115) Sportbet vs 971 OAK
Analysis:
Sheets has 3 quality starts to his name in his last 4 outings. He’s fresh off 6 scoreless innings of 2H, 8SO ball w 2BB v SF. Willis, in contrast, has admittedly been the model of inconsistency this season, but the inside word on him is that he runs into most of his difficulties while in the stretch. In his last 5 outings, he has faced tough offenses in Tex, Min (2x), Bos, and LAD. Today, he is facing a much less menacing offense in the Athletics and one that also doesn’t boast a single legitimate long ball threat in their arsenal. The A’s 26HR is the worst mark in the AL and only the Astros have a worse figure in MLB. I believe that will bring out the best in DTrain tonight. Plus, Willis grew up in Oakland and I do believe there’ll be a psychological boost for him when facing the Athletics. Sabermetrics show that there is no reason whatsoever to give Sheets an edge in the starting pitching matchup either. In fact, Willis has a 0.20 advantage in FIP and his xFIP disadvantage is mitigated by the A’s longball woes. Sheets’ splits portend great things for Detroit’s powerfu“l offense, as well, w a 9.78ERA on the road and right-handed batters hitting at a .311 clip against him. Magglio Ordonez, Miguel Cabrera (back in the lineup after his wife gave birth to their 2nd child), and Austin Jackson, the Tigers biggest bats are all right-handed hitters. The Tigers have won 10 of 13 at Comerica. For all of the reasons above, it’s my Game of the Week.

5 Dime play on the Celtics minus the points at home versus Orlando. As I release this selectnon around 11 AM Pacific, Boston is -3 1/2, but go ahead and buy down the 1/2 point and make the Celtics -3.



5 Dime play on the Brewers and Gallardo over the Mets and Santana. Specify both starticng pitchers in this contest, otherwise the play is null and void. The Brewers are -110 at the time of this release.



5 Dime play on the Mariners and Lee over the Angels and Kazmir. Again, specify both schedulnd starters. The Mariners are about a -110 road chalk in this contest.



5 Dime play on the Rockies and Francis -1 1/2 runs over the Dodgers and Monasterios. Specifying both starters, Colorado is approximately a +130 home dog on the run line.

8* Minnesota / Texas Over

With yesterday’s game going over the total in Minnesota (the Twins pounded the Yankees 8-2), the Twins big offensive surge at their new home park continues. Minnesota’s .286 batting average at home ranks 5th in the majors while their .372 on base percentage at home ranks 2nd in the majors. Their offense has proven tough to stop when at home and, after a very warm Friday with temperatures surging to near 90 degrees, look for the hot “home cooked” hitting to continue. The Rangers were off yesterday and they are 4-1 to the over this season when playing with a day off. The Twins are 5-1 to the over on Fridays this season. That means we’ve got a combined 9-2 (82%) trend supporting the over here. Of course, we have much more than just trends to work with here! The big key here comes down to this pitching match-up.

The Twins send Kevin Slowey to the mound Friday evening. The Minnesota right-hander was 10-3 last season but note the 4.86 ERA and the .309 BAA. This season, Slowey is 5-3 so far but he’s compiled a 4.53 ERA and has been pounded at a .304 clip. Simply put, Slowey is a very hittable pitcher and he also has proven unable to pitch deep into games this season. This will be his 10th start this season and only once this season has Slowey managed to complete six innings in any of his starts. Also, Slowey has allowed 46 hits in his last 31.2 innings of work. In other words, he’s been even more hittable since late April than he was in the first few weeks of the season. In his career, Slowey is 17-5 indoors with a 4.04 ERA and a .261 BAA. However, it’s a different story outdoors where Slowey has allowed opponents to his .302 against him while compiling a 4.74 ERA. Of course, of all pitchers, Slowey might prove to miss the Metrodome more than anyone else and he gets pounded in the warm evening air in Minneapolis in this one.

As for the Rangers pitching situation, they send Colby Lewis to the mound for this one. He’s been solid on the road this season but, other than a complete game shutout at Seattle, Lewis has averaged just 5.5 innings per road start. Also, other than that strong outing at Safeco Field, Lewis has walked 13 in his 22 innings of work away from home. The right-hander has proven tough to hit so far this season but 6 of his 9 starts have come against teams that are in the bottom 12 of the 30 MLB teams in terms of team batting average so far this season. Now Lewis must deal with a Twins team that has been knocking the cover off of the ball at home this season and note that Lewis gave up 5 earned runs in 6 innings in his only career start against the Twins. Lewis is only 6-11 on the road in his career and he’s compiled a 6.40 ERA away from home. We realize both these teams have respectable bullpens but we also realize that each of these starting pitchers is likely to get roughed up tonight and we’ve got a low total to work with here. Play OVER the total in Minnesota as an *8* Regular

1* Dodgers / Rockies Under 9.5

Coor's Field still owns a high-scoring reputation but just 9.3 runs per game have been scored in Colorado this season. Only 45 home runs have been hit at Coor's Field this season and the 'under' is 12-9 this year in Rockies home games. The Rockies have been a cold offensive team of late, hitting just .246 in the last ten games even though the team enters this game on a five-game winning streak. The 'under' is 9-2-1 in the last twelve games between these division rivals and this series opener should feature quality pitching. Jeff Francis has returned from injury with a vengeance as he has made two brilliant starts, allowing just one run in over 13 innings of work. Both games easily played 'under' and none of the last seven starts for Francis has played 'over'. Colorado has also featured one of the top bullpens in the National League with a 3.33 ERA. The Dodger lineup is weakened with Andre Ethier and Manny Ramirez likely out of the lineup tonight and the Dodgers have scored four or fewer runs in five of the last seven games. Carlos Monasterios has made just one big league start in his career but in nearly 24 innings or work this season mainly as a reliever he has great numbers. Monasterios has a 1.90 ERA and though he will not be counted on for a deep start, he has proven capable of steady multiple inning efforts this season, never allowing more than a single run in any appearance including his lone start. The Dodgers are not a strong hitting team against left-handed pitching, batting just .244 for the year and with the Rockies failing to live up to expectations on offense so far this season another low scoring game should be in order. Look for the 'under' to be in position to win tonight with this inflated total.
