2010 NBA Finals - Celtics vs. Lakers
Tuesday, June 15, 2010 9 :00 PM EST.
Boston Celtics (65-39) at Los Angeles Lakers (71-32)
Staples Center, Los Angeles, California
The Lakers are back in Hollywood in a do or die clash, but open at a risky 6½-point favorite. Then again, the Lakers play their best at home. Keep in mind; the Lakers were 9-0 at home going 6-3 ATS in the playoffs before Boston beat them, 103-94 in Game 2 as a six-point underdog.
Look for Kobe and Company to put on a show in front of their home crowd and play more aggressive defense. Take the Lakers to grab a victory and cover the spread, forcing a Game 7 on Thursday night.
Tuesday MLB Angle play- GC
Tuesday NBA Finals Round Power System total has lost over since 1989. NBA 6-2 Run. MLB Total of the Month with Huge cutting edge totals system that averages over 13 runs per game. Tuesday is Totals day.
On Tuesday the free MLB play is on the Tampa Bay rays. Game 963 at 7:10 eastern. What we want to do is play on road favorites off a home favored loss if they were -200 or higher and scored 2 or less runs. These road teams have rebounded nicely winning at over 85% of the time. Tonight the Rays are in Atlanta and have good stats on their side. Tampa is 6-1 as a road favorite in this range, 8-2 on Tuesday, and 7-3 in road games where the total is 8 to 8.5. Tampa has been tearing the cover off the ball, hitting .307 and scoring 6.6 runs over the past week. Tonight they take on Atlanta starter Kawakami. In his home starts he has been decent with a 3.63 era. However his stats do not come close to those of Tampa lefty D. Price. Price is 5-1 in road starts with a 2.54 era and 1.71 over his past 3 starts. Tampa also has a solid road bullpen era at 2.54 this season. On Tuesday I have the MLB Total of the month backed with a system that cashes big with overs and averages 13 runs per game. In the NBA I have the Big NBA Finals round totals play from a system that has lost once since 1989. NBA on a 6-2 run.

dime bet 980 SFG (-152) Bodog vs 979 BAL
Analysis: MLB: Baltimore Orioles at San Francisco Giants - Giants (Arrieta/Martinez) -152 | Unit Value: 1
Game Date: 6/15/2010
Note: Winning at baseball is not only just playing the best starting pitcher as many would have you believe. If it only were that easy. I am playing this game at 1/2 Moneyline and 1/2 Runline at +140. That gives us a push on a 1 run win and gives us nice profit on a 2 run win or more. Baltimore has serious problems right now as their Bullpen has resorted to it's old ways and the only thing that can save them tonight is a solid performance by their starter. That is just not likely and the fact is, SF will own the latter innings tonight almost for sure as they have done often here. The Giants Pen here at this park has been stellar with an ERA Under 2 runs. They have been tough to beat here and currently 4-0 on the homestand. Baltimore has THE WORST Road mark in the Bigs and things are just not right with this team inside and outside of the Dugout. Just plain and simple. Giants should win this one going away and I will play along with The Joes.

Arizona Diamondbacks (26-38) at Boston Red Sox (37-28)
(R) Ian Kennedy (3-3) vs. (R) Clay Buchholz (8-4)
Red Sox have won six of their last eight home games and have been successful in interleague home games. Boston is 40-13 in their last 53 interleague games at Fenway Park. Meanwhile, the Diamondbacks are just 3-9 in their last 12 interleague games, 2-5 in their last 7 interleague games on the road. Go with the Red Sox at home with Clay Buchholz on the hill to give Arizona its eleventh straight road defeat.
Arizona's right-hander Ian Kennedy is 0-0 with a 2.37 ERA in his last three starts. Kennedy has never face the Red Sox. Arizona is 2-5 in Kennedys last 7 road starts.
Boston's right-hander Clay Buchholz is 2-1 with a 1.17 ERA in his last three starts. Buchholz's will make his first career appearance against the Diamondbacks. Boston is 5-1 in Buchholz's last 6 starts.
Boston Red Sox -200

Game Six - Boston Celtics (65-39) at Los Angeles Lakers (71-32)
Look for this battle to go down to the wire. I believe the home team will win outright tonight, but Doc Rivers will have his crew ready. Kobe is evidently hurting after watching him in Game 5 and Boston's bench is out playing the Lakers bench. Take the points! Be back for final Game 7 on Thursday.
2-Unit Play. Take Under 188.5 Boston at Los Angeles (9 p.m., Tuesday, June 15)
The under has been the play in this series. Both of these teams are so familiar with one another in terms of personnel and scheme that its just really tough for any team to break out. And the fact that the title is on the line means that everyone is going to give a max effort on the defensive end. A lot of these final scoring numbers that weve seen so far havent even come close to the total, yet the books have only adjusted the numbers down two or three points from where this series started. I like form to hold and for these teams to keep up the defensive intensity, especially in an elimination game.
Ian Kennedy has been the most consistent starter on the Arizona Diamondbacks staff this season, while Clay Buchholz is coming into his own for the Boston Red Sox, so look for a low scoring game at Fenway Park Tuesday night.
Kennedy may be just 3-3, but that is mainly because the Arizona bullpen blew some games earlier this season after Kennedy left the games with a lead. His 3.17 ERA over 13 starts is a better indication of just how well he has pitched this year, and he has a very good 1.17 WHIP in 82.1 innings.
As if that is not impressive enough while pitching for a lousy team, Kennedy also comes into this game riding a streak of eight consecutive Quality Starts. Also, although Kennedy came up with the New York Yankees, he has surprisingly never faced the Red Sox, which should work to his advantage.
As for Buchholz, he is starting to fulfill the potential he displayed a few years ago, when he made practically an immediate splash by tossing a no-hitter in his second Major League start. He is 8-4 with a 2.52 ERA and 1.26 WHIP this season, and he is working on a streak of six straight Quality Starts himself.
Buchholz too is facing Arizona for the first time ever, which should make him harder to hit than usual. This is doubly true when you consider that the Diamondbacks are averaging a very ordinary 4.13 runs per game on the road this season, while batting a poor .223 vs. right-handed pitching, and unlike Buchholz, most of those at-bats came vs. pitchers that they have seen before.
The end result of all this should be a contest that remains in the single-digits.
$100 play - Cincinnati Reds 1st 5 innings
$300 play - Chicago White Sox 1st 5 innings
$300 play Tampa Bay Rays 1st 5 innings
$300 play Oakland A's 1st 5 innings
$300 play Toronto Blue Jays 1st 5 innings
This is truly a "must win" situation for the Lakers as they face elimination as the series returns to their home court. This has been a series of adjustments and spurts and Boston is to be commended for their solid win in Game 5 that created a 3-2 lead in the series for the Celts. The price is too steep to make a money line play recommendation (Lakers minus 300). The points have yet to come into play in this series but tonight's spread is the highest of any game in the series. Still, the spot calls for a play on the Lakers who figure to play with intensity for the full 48 minutes and attempt to build momentum for a Game 7. As the end game plays out the Celtics might relax and allow the Lakers to expend extra energy once the outcome becomes evident. This is not to suggest that the Celtics will concede this game or that they will be non-competitive. Likely they will make several runs in this game. But the expectation is that the Lakers will feed off the crowd in the fourth quarter and break open what might be a close game after three quarters. Expect Lamar Odom and Ron Artest to be more involved at the offensive end of the court than they've been and for the travel and short turn around time to have a greater negative impact on the aging Celtics than on the pumped up and desperate hosts.
Go with the zig-zag theory here. The Lakers are down 3-2 with this being a possible elimination game in Los Angeles. Kobe and Company will not drop three in a row. Go with the Lakers.
