Boston Celtics vs. Los Angeles Lakers Total
189 un-110 at BETUS > 7h.

The Boston Celtics found themselves in a 2-1 hole after three games in the NBA Finals, but dug in defensively and took the last two played in Boston this season. It has been the defensive resolve that has brought this team further than most thought they could manage. If you think about it, the Celtics have now played their last 17 games against teams that were supposed to be better than them, and are 11-6. They have accomplished this not on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, allowing just 91.6 points per game. LA knows it will have to match the defensive intensity to stay in this series and force a game seven. They have a track record against the NBA's top teams of doing just that as they are 9-3-1 to the UNDER in their last 13 at home vs. teams .600 or higher. The last seven between these clubs has seen just one top the total. I like the UNDER here.

Re: 6-15-10

Scott Rickenbach’s MLB 8* (Regular Play) OVER in Minnesota vs Colorado @ 8:10 ET: Pavano vs Cook – RATING SYSTEM: Plays range from 6* on up to 10* so this includes 7* and 8* picks as well. 6*, 7*, 8*: most common play ratings with a 9* being a Top Play! 10* plays are a step above a 9* Top Play. The *10* is Scott's highest rated selection!

Three of the Rockies last four games have gone over the total. In interleague action this season, Colorado is 4-2 to the over. The Twins have gone over the total in 5 of their last 8 home games. They have certainly enjoyed their new home park this season. Minnesota is hitting a solid .283 at home this season and their .365 on base percentage at home ranks 2nd in the majors! Colorado sends Aaron Cook to the mound and he’s unlikely to put a stop to the Twins solid hitting at Target Field. Cook is winless in his seven road starts this season and the sinkerballer has compiled an ugly 6.81 ERA while being pounded at a .322 clip away from home. In his only career start against Minnesota, Cook was ripped for six earned runs on 11 hits and 3 walks in a start in which he lasted just four innings. Another big concern for the Rockies right-hander tonight is how poor he’s pitched against lefties this season. They are hitting him at a .305 clip plus he’s walked 20 (while striking out just 9) in his 28 innings against left-handed bats this season. The Twins will be loaded up from the left-hand side of the plate for tonight’s game and this makes it even more likely that Cook’s road struggles continue.

The Twins pitching situation tonight, on the surface, looks better. However, the issue for Carl Pavano tonight is that the Minnesota right-hander has spent a lot of his career in the National League. That said, the usual interleague edge of a pitcher going against a team that is not familiar with him is simply not present here. Pavano is 4-2 in his career against the Rockies but they’ve pounded him at a .289 clip. Also, the Twins right-hander has allowed 18 earned runs in his last 34 innings on the mound. That equates to a 4.76 ERA which is well short of being impressive. He’s allowed 5 homers in these five starts. Pavano, like Cook, has struggled against left-handed bats this season as they are hitting .300 against him. The Rockies roster of position players includes six left-handed sticks and a switch-hitter so they will absolutely be able to load up from the left-hand side of the plate for this match-up. Both of these bullpens have been solid this season but on a mild night in the Twin Cities, where both starters are likely to struggle early and often, we aren’t going to pass up on the line value here with this low total. This is especially true when the Rockies have 77 hits in their last 8 games and the Twins had 51 hits in the first 5 games of their homestand before the Braves shut them down on Sunday. Plenty of offense resumes tonight with this favorable pitching match-up. Play OVER the total in Minnesota as an *8* Regular Play selection.

Re: 6-15-10

ASA MLB PICK - Tues, June 15 - Under the total, TB vs. Atlanta

ASA MLB PICK - 3* Under 8.5 runs, Tampa Bay (Price) vs. Atlanta (Kawakami), Tuesday at 6:05 PM CST



It has not taken long for David Price to establish himself as one of the elite pitchers in the game. In his first full season as a starter Price is already 9-2 and his ERA is just 2.23 on the year. Price has mostly been dominant as opposing batters own a .204 batting average and in seven of his last nine starts Price has allowed two or fewer runs. Many of those starts have come against the American League and he will have a great opportunity against a National League lineup and NL rules Tuesday night to open a big series in Atlanta. The ?under? is 7-3 in the last ten starts for Price, and he has had very strong success on the road this year.



Not many 0-8 pitchers stay in the rotation, especially on a winning team but Kenshin Kawakami has deserved much better than his current record. Kawakami has a 4.48 ERA and a 2:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio and he has delivered a quality start in four of his last five outings. In two of his last five starts he has pitched six shutout innings and his ERA is 3.68 in home games this season. Atlanta?s bullpen has done a great job in recent weeks featuring a 2.08 ERA in the last ten games and this series will feature two of the top bullpens in baseball.



The Braves are banged up on offense with Nate McLouth and Matt Diaz on the DL and Omar Infante and Chipper Jones likely unable to go for tonight?s game. Atlanta finished up a successful road trip with a series win in Minnesota but the Braves scored a total of just eleven runs in those three games. Atlanta is also batting just .239 for the season against left-handed pitching. Atlanta is 19-6 in home games this season, allowing just 3.5 runs per game. In the last home stand the Braves did not allow more than three runs in any game and the Rays should be shut down in this match-up.



Tampa Bay is 22-8 in road games this season but the Rays are batting just .259 in road games for the year. Rays hitters will never have faced Kawakami as these teams have not met since 2006 and the ?under? hit in all three games in that last series. The Rays have faced questionable pitching staffs in recent weeks to enhance their scoring numbers and the loss of the DH will hurt this squad playing in an NL park. Turner Field has averaged less than nine runs per game with only 43 home runs and a collective batting average of just .253. Look for more low numbers in this series opener with two undervalued starters on the mound.

The Indians righthander has a 4.74 ERA to go along with a 2-5 record this season. The Mets defeated Baltimore 11-4 as a -135 favorite on Sunday. The 15 runs scored went OVER the posted over/under total (8.5). David Wright was 3-5 with two home runs and four RBI for the Mets and Jason Bay was 4-4 with a solo home run and four runs scored.

triple-dime bet 962 FLA (-149) BetUS vs 961 TEX
Analysis:
MLB: Texas Rangers at Florida Marlins - Marlins (Wilson/Johnson) -149 | Unit Value: 3 Unit "GAME OF WEEK"
Game Date: 6/15/2010
Note: We are going to make quick work of these thoughts because they are easy as pie. Josh Johnson is throwing as well as he ever has he is clearly the class of the National League right now. He is 4-1 with a 0.43 ERA over his last six starts. His only loss during that span was against Philadelphia on May 29, when Roy Halladay pitched a perfect game. The huge righthander outpitched Halladay in a rematch to win his last outing, surrendering three hits in eight innings and that is what this guy can do, go deep into games. Johnson, who has never faced the Rangers, has held lefthanded hitters to a .168 batting average this season. I have stated this already but the Texas Ranger Pitcher is having tired arm problems and it is getting him into trouble via putting people on base of late. The Rangers do not play nearly as well on the road, and these Marlins can and do hit lefties very well. There is no doubt that they are in their best hitting posture for this one tonight. I almost never lay this kind of number but my MLB Model has the Hometeam winning near the 71% Mark and that is strong with the line that we have posted. It is also strong longterm profit and until oddsmakers firgure it out, I will play Josh at this number almost anytime he throws in his current form.

4-Unit Play. Take #602. Take Over 164.5 Atlanta Dream vs. Chicago Sky (Tuesday @ 8:00pm est)

Atlanta lost to Chicago in a shocker at home earlier this year by a score of 70-80. But, if you followed Chicago during that stretch it should not be surprising because they were running high in confidence after defeating the Seattle Storm at home. I expect Atlanta to get their revenge today and consequently push this number over the posted total. Having said that, look for Chicago to come out with a lot of steam as well as they have lost back to back ballgames and will look to get back on track today at home. This will help them at least get back to .500. The word has gotten out that Atlanta is dynamic this year and consequently every team gets up to play the Dream. Atlanta is quite competent at scoring points on the road and with revenge on their minds, I expect them to come out strong. I do believe the Sky get their fair share of points as well as this team put up 95 against Tulsa and 84 against a very good Seattle team who is known for their defense. The Over is 4-1 for the Dream in their last five ballgames and the Over is 5-0 for the Sky in their last five ballgames as their defense has lagged a bit of late. Do note that the over is 7-1 for the Sky following a straight up loss as well.
