WUNDERDOG (WNBA)
1 OF 5
Game: Seattle at Atlanta (3:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Atlanta -5 (-105)
Atlanta has home court and faces a Seattle team that is 4-7 away from home – and this is a LONG road trip. In fact, this will be the seventh road game over the last ten games for Seattle and they come off an emotional home win over Connecticut, one of the top teams in the league. The Storm are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as an underdog and 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as a road underdog. Atlanta plays it's second straight home game and has had four full days of rest. Atlanta is rested and has an offense led by Angel McCoughtry, the second highest scoring player in the league, plus 4-1 SU/ATS in their last five home games.
Play Atlanta.

60 Dime baseball seleetion on the Brewers -1 1/2-runs (Run Line) over the Astros. At the time I release this winner, Milwaukee is right around -180 favoorite on the money line both here in Vegas and offsoore. By playing this game on the RUN LINE, we get ourselves better value. Starting pitchers are always listed on run line plays, so both Greinke and Norris must start or this play is VOID!
“1 UNIT” NATIONAL-TV PRIMETIME (Yankees +150 at Red Sox in a 8:05 eastern start broadcast nationally on ESPN--------Garcia versus Beckett): It is not often that you find a sizzling team like the Yankees on an 8-1 overall run cast as a prohibitive underdog. Due to perceived pitching mismatches the posted lines for this heavy-hyped series have not reflected the fact that we have two teams with identical records tied atop the American League East standings. On Friday the Yankees bullpen thrived as the held a lead for veteran Bartolo Colon and New York cashed a large underdog ticket against Jon Lester. Yesterday it was New York as the big favorite as major league wins leader C.C. Sabathia was on the mound and Boston promptly won with ease on the scoreboard. Tonight the Red Sox are back as the heavy favorite with Josh Beckett on the mound and he already is 3-0 against the Bronx Bombers this campaign racking up 25 strikeout victims in 21 innings. But the fact of the matter is that veteran Freddy Garcia in his past three Yankee starts (2.21 ERA) has been effective and he is in the midst of a career-high run of innings (59.2) WITHOUT surrendering a homerun. Even though they lost yesterday the Yankees bullpen worked only 2 innings which means they are refreshed in case Garcia runs into trouble. As for Freddy Garcia he is on a 16-6 roll when facing a winning opponent and also 11-4 long term when cast as a road underdog (+125/+150) within tonight’s parameters. When working with extended rest (5 or 6 days) Garcia is on a 13-5 roll, so do not discount tonight’s Yankees starter
