Derek Mancini Today's Winner... 30 Dime - Lakers

After an inspiring effort in Game 2, I see rough waters ahead for the Celtics. They did what most teams in the NBA were unable to do against the Lakers all season -hit their 3-pointers. Thru 82 regular season games, the Lakers were ranked # 1 in opponents 3-point percentage (32%), and while that number has risen a bit in the playoffs (33%), they are still the best 3-point defense in the NBA.

That being said, we will not see another 11 for 16 barrage of 3-point shots (68%) tonight - and without those long range bombs, the Celtics are in trouble in this match up. Celtics-backers will tout their own excellent perimeter defense, but that doesn't matter to the Lakers, because LA doesn't win games from the outside in, they win games from the inside out.

The Celtics excellent 3-point shooting in Game 2 also opened up the floor for Rajon Rondo. When Boston is hitting their 3-pointers, defenders are forced to over play the 3-point line, opening up the lane for his penetration. However, take away those shots, and all of a sudden we see the Rondo we saw in Game 1, who's still a great player, but not the force (triple-double) we saw in Game 2.

You also have to expect we'll see more from the Black Mamba. It wasn't so much that Kobe got shut down by Ray Allen as everyone seems to think. It was more that the zebras threw off Bryant's game. He's not used to playing in foul trouble (aka playing tentatively), and it clearly bothered him, as he spent more and more time bickering with the referees as the game went on. Bad games from Artest and Odom also doomed the Lakers in Game 2, both players should be better (they can't be any worse than they did Sunday) in Game 3.

Combine all these factors, and I'm seeing trouble for Boston tonight. Gasol and Bynum continue to play well, and with some tweaks on the defensive end, this is LA's game to lose. Lakers plus the points in Game 3.

Re: 6-8-10

Karl Garrett Wednesday's Selections ... 30 Dime Strongist NBA Play of the Season on the LA Lakers as the road undertdog at Boston. I also have a baseball 10 Dime Bonus Play on the San Diego-NY Mets game UNDER the total. The listed pitchors are Richard and Pelfrey. Both must start, or there is no action on the release.

I have a feiling the betting public is going to look at Sunday's Celtics win and jump on Boston in their first game of three on their home hardwood in this series. I tend to think there that the shooting clinic Ray Allen put on is not going to give the Celtics that early jump start they got in Game 2, and I also tend to think that Kobe is not going to be whistled for as many fouls as he was on Sunday.

I still see Boston having troubtle containing Pau Gasol, and Andrew Bynum who have been able to score at will from the interior. They say the best time to steal back home court advantage is right after you lose a game at home, and tonight could very well be that night.

This is a series of adjustments, and the Lakers looked like they had made those adjustments coming from double-digits down at the end of the 1st half to close the gap to 6, and then at the start of the 2nd half when they tied the score in the blink of an eye. Yes, Boston did wind up winning the game by 9, but that will give them a little sense of false confidence as they play in front of the home fans, and it will serve to motivate Kobe and his crew even more.

G-Man stuck on the Lakers as my big 30 dime winner.

Baseball 10 dimer on the under in the Padres-Mets.

These teams could play into Wednesday morning and I still think there would be no more than 5 runs on the scoreboad.

Clayton Richard has a season ERA of 2.87, while Mike Pelfrey has a season ERA of 2.42. These guys have been dealing, and will be dealing again tonight.

The Padres have been under in 3 of their last 4, and are on a long-term 6-2-1 under run their last 9, while the Mets are on a 3-1-1 under run their last 5.

I will stick with the pitching to once again dominate the hitting, and for the Padres and Mets to hold under the total on Tuesday.

Remember: both listed pitchers must start, or NO action on the release.

Re: 6-8-10

Michael Cannon Tuesday's Play...
50 Dime Winner on the BOSTON CELTICS minus the points over the Los Angeles Lakers. The Celtics are currently listed as -2½ point favorites. As always, shop around to make sure you find the best possible number.

50 Dime –

CELTICS

Take the Celtics as the small home chalk tonight in Game 3 over the Lakers.

The Lakers losing Game 2 at home was crippling to their chances of winning this series. Now that the series is back in Boston for the next three games you’re going to see the Celtics playing above and beyond what they showed so far.

When you look back two years ago you have to wonder what has really changed for Boston?

The Celtics won the title two years ago and in my opinion are even better now. Think about it. Boston still has the big three of Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. But Rajon Rondo is better now then he was in 2008, and the Celtics have a guy like Rasheed Wallace who can give them quality minutes off the bench.

The Lakers have Kobe and he’s the best in the game, but the rest of the supporting cast just doesn’t stack up compared to Boston.

Sure Los Angeles added Ron Artest, but he’s not that big of a difference when you look at Boston’s roster.

I like the Celtics to make a statement tonight and to prove that winning Game 2 was no fluke.

Lay the points with the Celtics as they grab the win and cover.

Re: 6-8-10

Stephen Nover Tuesday's winner ... My 75 Dime play is on the St. Louis Cardinals against the Los Angeles Dodgers. And as I release this play at Midnight pacific time, the line is -115 pretty much everiwhere here in Vegas and offshore. I believe we might see some line movetment, since starter Chris Carpenter is getting an incrodible value price overnight, so as I always recommend, be sure to shop for the best lines with the sports book(s) you use.

And, this is very important, be sure to list both pitchers in this National League showdown, as I am playing Carpenter over the Dodgers' Hiroki Kuroda.


ANALYSIS[/B]

Cardinals - To get Chris Carpenter and the St. Louis Cardinals at this low of a price against a struggling Hiroki Kuroda makes this my strongest play of the season.

Carpenter easily can take his place among the best pitchers in baseball when healthy - and he's healthy again this season. He's 7-1 with a 2.76 ERA and 1.08 WHIP. He finished up a strong May with a 2.53 ERA and a 35-to-9 strikeout-to-walk ratio.

Perhaps the oddsmaker is thinking back to last year's playoffs when Carpenter wasn't at his best during a 5-3 Dodgers win by making this line so low.

Carpenter has a strong regular-season history versus Los Angeles, though, with a 5-0 record and 2.20 ERA. He'll be pumped to pitch well at Dodger Stadium after last season's post-season loss to Los Angeles.

Kuroda pitched well during the first six weeks of the season, but has since tailed off. He has a 10-to-7 strikeout-to-walk ratio in his last four starts, giving up a home run during each of his past four outings. He's allowed 30 hits during his last four starts spanning 22 innings.

Andre Ethier is back for the Dodgers, but he's been slumping since coming off the DL after suffering a broken right pinkie. He entered the series just 5-for-28 since returning.

Re: 6-8-10

THE DUKE SPORTSLA Angels (-143) for 2 Units

The Angels enjoy playing in the Oakland Coliseum where they're 10-1 in their last 11. Tonight, we'll look for the Angels' winning run to continue there and notch their 7th straight overall win. Jered Weaver is in good form coming off 3 strong outings; moreover, he controls a 1.17 ERA in his last 4 outings vs Oakland. We'll look for Jered to get the needed run support;after all, the A's Vin Mazzaro has struggled for most of the season, recalled twice from Triple A, and was lit up like a torch in 2 starts vs LA (7.88 ERA). Good value with the Angels who are 13-3 vs a starter with a WHIP in excess of 1.30.
