6* Widow Wiseguy NL Money Line of the Month on LA Dodgers -114
(List Wolf)
This is an absolute joke that we are getting a great price on the Dodgers at home today. We will capitalize on this mistake by linesmakers. The Dodgers are 31-11 against the money line vs. a bad bullpen that blows 38% or more of their save opportunities over the last 2 seasons. This is going to be a pitchers duel and when we get to the closing innings the Dodgers have a big advantage. Cincinnati is 7-18 against the money line in night games this season. The Reds are just 1-7 in their last 8 games overall. The Reds are 0-4 in Arroyos last 4 starts as an underdog. The Dodgers are 81-38 in their last 119 home games versus a team with a losing record. They earn wins when they know they are favored and dont have letdowns, allowing the Dodgers to make runs at the postseason every year. Take the Dodgers Friday as they add another mark in the win column.

5* Wiseguy Jazz/Warriors Game of the Series on Golden State -6
The Golden State Warriors have proven that they are for real. They should have won Game 2 and with a few extra free throws in the closing minute they would have. Tough break but we guarantee you they will not throw in the towel. In fact, this game wont even be close. The Warriors are 22-7-1 ATS in their last 30 games overall. In the last 21 meetings, the favorite is 12-5-4 ATS. The home team has now won 7 straight games in this series. Utah is 4-11 ATS in their last 15 road games. The Warriors are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS loss, 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games and 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games as a home favorite of 5.0-10.5 points. This 17-0 ATS System stays undefeated today. Lay the points.

4* MAJOR on Toronto -126
(List Burnett)
Tampa Bay is 14-44 against the money line against excellent fielding teams that average less than 0.5 errors/game over the last 2 seasons. The Devil Rays are just 2-7 in Kazmirs last 9 starts against Toronto. He is a solid pitcher but cant deal with the explosiveness that the Blue Jays offense displays. Tampa Bay is a horrible 9-43 in their last 52 road games. Home field advantage doesnt normally mean much in the MLB, but in todays match-up it will clearly be an advantage. This young Devil Rays team has not learned how to win on the road. A.J. Burnett is 1-0 at home this season with a nice 3.75 ERA. Take the Blue Jays at home.

1* on Atlanta Braves +101
(List Davies and Duke)
The Braves are an underdog against this atrocious Pittsburgh squad? You have to be kidding me. Zach Duke is just 1-3 on the season with a 5.40 ERA in 37 innings. Atlanta is 7-0 against the money line on the road when the money line is +125 to -125 this season. Atlanta is 17-9 against the money line as a road underdog of +100 to +125 over the last 2 seasons. The Pirates are 0-4 in their last 4 games against a right-handed starter this season. Take the Braves to win on the road.

Marc Lawrence
Arizona w/Webb over Houston

D'Backs Brandon Webb takes the hill in Houston knowing he is 4-1 in his career team starts against the Astros. With Arizona 4-1 in road series openers, and Houston 1-4 in home series openers this season, look for Webb to continue his winning ways here tonight

Hondo endured another double-flusher yesterday, his second in three days, as he swirled down the drain with the Mariners and Angels to trim the earn ings to 490 frisches.

Tonight, suppose Suppan wins out at Flushing's Lame Duck Dump. If that happens Hondo's five-game schneid will be history. Ten units on the Brewers

NBA GAMES FOR 05/11/2007
Golden State 113 Utah 107

This is Jim Feist.
My free pick of the day is the game between (917) BAL Orioles and (918) BOS Red Sox. Take "(918) BOS Red Sox". Baltimore is struggling badly because of a rash of injuries to the starting pitching. It has depleted their strong early season bullpen numbers and forced them to throw relievers into the starting role. It's tough enough to pitch in Fenway park, and they are forced to go with lefty Brian Burres. Burres walks too many batters (10 in 17 innings) and that will really hurt in this park against a Boston offense that preaches patience at the plate while looking to draw walks. Red Sox starter Julian Tavarez has been better than that 6.48 ERA. He's given them two straight strong starts against the Twins and Yankees, with a 15-6 K/BB ratio his last 4 starts. Play the Red Sox!

This is Dave Cokin.
My free pick of the day is the game between (927) CLE Indians and (928) OAK Athletics. Take "(927) CLE Indians". Dave's $10 Upset Special was a laugher from start to finish as the Red Sox buried the Blue Jays, 8-0! "The Indians got wiped out in the finale of their series at Anaheim, but I like the Tribe to get back to winning tonight. Sabathia has always excelled on the road, and this year the big lefty is on a huge early season roll. 5-0 with a dynamite 53/9 BB/K ratio is more than outstanding. Joe Blanton has been okay for Oakland as well, but the better pitcher and the better offense make Cleveland the side tonight as moderately priced road favorites."

Marc Lawrence
Bonus Play: Arizona Diamondbacks vs Houston Astros
Arizona w/Webb over Houston D'Backs' Brandon Webb takes the hill in Houston knowing he is 4-1 in his career team starts against the Astros. With Arizona 4-1 in road series openers, and Houston 1-4 in home series openers this season, look for Webb to continue his winning ways here tonight.

60 DIMER - GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS....10 DIMERS - OAKLAND WITH BLANTON, & ATLANTA WITH DAVIES


60 DIMER - GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS



This game comes down to one thing: HOME COURT!



Golden State had multiple chances to win both games at Utah, but the Jazz were able to eek out the wins. After watching Utah struggle on the road in the Houston series, I don't think there is any doubt the Jazz will get blasted tonight.



The Warriors know they can beat this team, and a few bad breaks in Utah aside, things will go Golden State's way in front of their fired-up crowd.



Dallas did not win a game at Golden State in 3 tries, and were blasted by double-digits in 2 of the 3 games. Also keep in mind with Utah's fluke cover on Wednesday, the favorite in this series is now 12-5-4 against the spread the last 21 meetings.



This one is ALL Golden State!



10 DIMER - OAKLAND A'S WITH BLANTON



Great value tonight with a decent Oakland pitcher who is going up against a pitcher who is undefeated at 5-0, but has been getting hit hard his last few times to the bump.



CC Sabathia has allowed 11 runs over his last 19 innings of work, and his team has been held to just 2 runs over their last 18 innings of play, as the Tribe bring a 2-game losing streak into play tonight.



Sabathia is due for a loss, and the Indians look like they may be a little tired on this current west coast swing.



Take the Athletics plus the money tonight.



10 DIMER - ATLANTA BRAVES WITH DAVIES



The Braves just swept the Padres in Atlanta, and now they put their 9-5 road mark on the line in Pittsburgh against a Pirates team they beat twice in three games last year in the Steel City.



Kyle Davies has yet to win, and while I will admit Zach Duke is probably the better pitcher right now, I simply can't trust the Pirates bats to deliver in the clutch.



Pittsburgh did get 6 yesterday in their win at Chicago, but the Pirates are only 5-8 at home this year.



Atlanta is surely the better team, and while Davies hasn't looked great, the Atlanta pen has been a gem this year, so I am not worried if Davies gets knocked around a little.



Trust the Braves bats to deliver more than I trust the Pirates bats!



Go with Atlanta.

TRACKMASTER RACE OF THE DAY

Today's Free Race: Hollywood Park for Friday May 11, 2007


Handicapped by The Turf Club Analysts at Hollywood Park

Hollywood Park - Race #4 - Post: 8:29pm

Choice Plays:

#2 AMERICAN INFLUENCE (ML=7/2)
#12 JOHNNY THE WATCH (ML=5/1)

AMERICAN INFLUENCE - Sneaky speed on this one. He'll probably be stalking thoroughbreds on the back side, then crush them down the stretch. This gelding has been working well, and the recent bullet work says he's primed for a big race today. He has the uppermost earnings per race. Take a good look at this animal. JOHNNY THE WATCH - I think the shorter distance will help this gelding stay the distance. This gelding is in nice form. Finished second on April 22nd.


Vulnerable Contenders: #6 HENRY D. (ML=6/1), #8 JORDAN AND JUSTIN (ML=6/1), #5 SILVER AND BLACK (ML=6/1)


HENRY D. - Difficult to play this entrant this time around. Make him show you something in a sprint event before you bet on him in a race of 6 1/2 furlongs. Won't be easy for this animal to beat this bunch off of that last speed figure. Doubtful to improve enough to run a figure close to today's class rating, so put him on the possibly overvalued equines list. JORDAN AND JUSTIN - Hard to bet on any mount to turn things around if there is no large gain to taking the shot. SILVER AND BLACK - I find it hard to bet on this questionable contender in today's event. Make him show you something in a sprint affair before you play him in a race of 6 1/2 furlongs.



STRAIGHT WAGERS:
#2 AMERICAN INFLUENCE is going to be the play if we are getting 7/5 or better

Mike Superstein's Hollywood Park Analysis for Friday, May 11
Race One

BLACK HILLS GOLDIE handled $62,500 claimers one race back, unsuccessfully tried allowance runners, now settles back in for $50,000. And this is an exceptionally weak $50,000 field, to boot. Michael Baze can pretty much place this gal where he wants early, then out finish whoever is in her way. JUNGLE GIRL had no business racing in the Bay Meadows Oaks. She fits better with these and poses the main threat to 'GOLDIE if she takes to the grass. SUMMER JADE broke her maiden sprinting and now tries longer, turf and winners. By the way, if anyone can tell me why 17-time maiden MIA COUNTESS is entered here please let me know.

Race Two

LUCKY RYLIE defeated maiden special weights at Bay Meadows in April and ships south into what seems like a reasonable spot. She ought to get a sweet trip racing just behind Wicket Wager. HERE COMES RAY RAY tries claimers for the first time in her career. She broke her maiden over Cushion Track in December and is reunited with Corey Nakatani tonight. WICKET WAGER is the likely pacesetter, which makes her an automatic threat.

Race Three

SLIDE HOME aired over a sloppy track at Santa Anita and suspiciously returns at the same price. Obviously, the for-sale sign is out and it will be interesting to see if anyone takes the bait. As for betting purposes, he looks like a short-priced winner. MYSTERIOUS CAT has won three of his last four, all at this level. However, he likes to come from out of it and may not find enough pace here. HEMET THOUGHT has gone more than two years without a victory but should be competitive.


Race Four

AMERICAN INFLUENCE drew the 14 hole last time out as the favorite, predictably got caught seven wide on the turn, and flattened out down the lane. Drawn toward the inside tonight, he should be able to save some ground and exit the maiden ranks. YOUR HOST ran well in productive race in his debut and improvement is likely, but it's difficult to ignore the fact that his trainer hasn't won a race in 66 starts this year. JOHNNY THE WATCH changed barns and took a drastic drop, but really didn't improve. He should get his usual small share.

Race Five

TIME TOSAY GOODBYE showed versatility in her two 2006 outings. First out, she was pinched at the start then came running in the stretch to just miss. In her second try, over the Cushion, she went wire-to-wire, registering some swift fractions along the way. Making her first start on the grass in a race loaded with zip, her ability to rate is key. MEETMEINTHEWOODS is the likely favorite, but may be a tad overrated. She started her career like gangbusters with a romping win in 1:08 and change, but has never really run back to that effort. KIN TO A KITTY faded as the chalk and catches even more speed here.

Race Six

COMPLEXITY flashed speed for a half-mile in the Sunshine Millions Dash before understandably giving way late. Back in with maidens, it would take an extraordinary effort from a first time starter to keep COMPLEXITY from going all the way. YODELAY YOU'RE WHO could be that first time starter. Sporting a swift work tab, a speed pedigree and a high-percentage barn, the Swiss Yodeler newcomer is strictly the one to fear most. EARNEDNEVERGIVEN has shown morning ability, but will probably need a race, or two.

Race Seven

STYLISH WILDCAT will be the singleton on most Pick Six tickets. The Forest Wildcat offspring is fresh from a pair of victories at Bay Meadows and is perfect in two tries over the Hollywood Park turf. All she has to do is stay within hailing range of UDRIGA early. UDRIGA is razor sharp right now and extremely fast. However, she has yet to defeat the caliber of a STYLISH WILDCAT. NO LULLABY raced evenly in the Las Cienegas Handicap and should hold off the others.

Race Eight

RECKONING DAY was runner-up at this distance in her only start and therefore is the most likely to improve. Richard Migliore substitutes for the suspended Joe Talamo. TALE OF THE SCALE is halved in price after a terrible effort around two turns. She'll draw her share of support, but the feeling here is that she's going the wrong way. INSPIRATION WITHIN arrives from the Bay Area off a fair second in a shorter contest. Her trainer, Ed Moger, is enjoying a fine year.

Best Bet-STYLISH WILDCAT (7)

NBA:Utah at Golden State 9:00 pm EDT Fri May 11, 2007

Utah at Golden State
Game Info: 9:00 pm EDT Fri May 11, 2007


OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Baron Davis and the Golden State Warriors have learned there's a big downside to having pulled off perhaps the biggest upset in NBA playoff history in the first round.

There are still three rounds to go -- and they all require even more energy and mental toughness than the Warriors have mustered so far against the Utah Jazz.

"The emotions are crazy after you do something big like that," Davis acknowledged Thursday after the Warriors returned home from their first back-to-back losses since March in their opening games against the Jazz, who visit Oakland for Game 3 on Friday night.

"You don't try to have a letdown, but we're a young team that gets a lot out of the emotion we felt in the first round," Davis said. "Now we're trying to go back to work, and we're getting it. ... We need some energy and momentum, and hopefully coming home will bring that."

The Warriors are back to reality after their improbable triumph over the Dallas Mavericks, and reality wasn't pleasant for much of their up-and-down season.

Golden State's flaws -- questionable depth, poor team-wide shot selection, awful low-post defense and spotty late-game execution -- were exposed by the Jazz, who coolly overcame their own problems after blowing double-digit fourth-quarter leads in both games.

The biggest factor in the next two games could be the change in buildings. The Warriors are out of the Utah arena where fans shouted all manner of profane, foul invective at Golden State's Stephen Jackson -- and even pulled on Davis' jersey after he hit a 3-pointer near the sideline late in the Warriors' overtime loss in Game 2, according to the guard.

"We're confident now because we're back in our building, and we're a totally different team there," said Al Harrington, who scored 38 points in the Warriors' first two games in Utah after managing just 27 in six games against Dallas. "That's what we're hanging our hat on. We get confident when our fans are behind us, and it just flows from that."

The hoops-crazy Bay Area is ready for the Warriors' return, from the banners and signs decorating downtown Oakland to the basketball buzz that's in the air. Game 3 is sold out with another bunch of the same raucous fans that intimidated the Mavericks and sometimes seemed to will home the Warriors' big shots.

And shortly before Golden State began practice at its downtown training complex Thursday, most of the club's front-office staff -- dozens of people from executives to secretaries -- entered the gym wearing bright-yellow "We Believe" T-shirts, clapping and chanting "Let's go, Warriors!"

Davis exchanged high-fives with nearly everybody before the Warriors went to work.

The Warriors have thrived on emotion for two months -- ever since Davis returned from injury and led Golden State's fantastic finish to the regular season. But coach Don Nelson knows emotion sometimes doesn't help late in games, when precision and execution would be more useful.

"We played two great games there," Nelson said. "We could have won both of them. Yes, we are in trouble. Our hands are full right now. We're playing a very good team that's playing as well as they have all year."

The Warriors led by five points in the final minute of Game 2, but Mickael Pietrus missed two free throws with 16 seconds to play. Davis, who made a turnover earlier, bricked another free throw with 6.2 seconds left, allowing Deron Williams to tie it with a short jumper before Utah's overtime romp.

By keeping their cool when the Warriors lost it, the Jazz are in position Friday to all but clinch their first trip to the Western Conference finals since 1998.

"We know the series is not even close to being over," Williams said after the Jazz practiced in Utah on Thursday. "We've got some tough games in Oakland, and hopefully we can still win. It would do a lot for our confidence, winning one on the road."

The Jazz are a nightmare matchup for the Warriors, both inside and out. Utah has two proven low-post scorers (Carlos Boozer and Mehmet Okur) versatile enough to play on the perimeter, while Williams is gaining national attention for his strong play against Davis.

Nelson called Williams "a young Baron Davis" on Thursday, with "the same kind of ability and drive and competitiveness. I just think he's the best young point guard in the league. There's nothing we can really do about him."

Though the Jazz have a commanding series lead, they realize Game 2 hinged on the Warriors' mistakes. Derek Fisher's emotional return to the court also propelled Utah, but that boost won't help in Game 3 unless the Jazz keep doing what they do better than Golden State.

"We're going to continue to try to pound the boards," Boozer said. "We know we have a size advantage, and we're going to try to exploit that. ... We have to play much better to match their intensity."

GOLD KEY GAMES:
3*(Bonus Play): Texas Rangers +1.5 runs -135
Silver Key (Bonus Play): Oakland A's +1.5 runs -150
Gold Key (Paid Play): OVER 217 Jazz / Warriors
The Jazz came through for Members in Game Two, and now take to the Road for two events. Under Head Coach Jerry Sloan they have handled the Warriors when it counted late in each game. The Jazz are a high-scoring team to begin with this season, and tonight they have every reason to try to run with their rival on the Road. Trends favoring the Over in Jazz games include 21-10 Over ATS as Dogs, 22-16 Over ATS after three Overs in a row, and 21-14 Over ATS versus poor Defensive teams.
The Warriors return to friendly confines, and under Head Coach Don Nelson look to make this Series Even Stephen after Games Three and Four. They failed late in each game on the Road, but still played well in most areas. The Warriors currently hold an O/U record of 52-38 Against The Spread, and we won't argue with that. Other positive trends favoring the Over in Warriors games include 33-17 Over ATS in Revenge mode, 9-3 Over ATS as Home Favorites in this point range, and 29-16 Over ATS versus winning teams.
The Totals Line overnited at 217. We'll go with the Over here tonight in a Gold Key Play.

Pick: 4 units on Boston -175 (risk 4 to win 2.3)



The Red Sox are clicking in every facet of the game right now. They are hitting and now come home, where they hit even better, and the pitching has not allowed more than three runs in a game over the last six, and the bullpen has been the best in baseball. Fenway Park and the Red Sox in general have been bad news for the Birds. The Sox have taken 18 of the last 21 from the O's overall, and at Fenway have won 10 of the last 11. The Red Sox are outscoring the O's by 81-40 in those 11 games. The O's were able to dominate TB at home, but the road is completely different. The Birds were just 30-51 outside of the confines of Camden Yards last year and have showed no improvement this year as they have struggled to a 5-10 road mark. Red Sox continue their domination of the O's at Fenway.



Game: Detroit at Minnesota (8:10 PM Eastern)

Pick: 4 units on Minnesota -200 (risk 4 to win 2)


There is always value in our eyes when Santana is on the hill at the Metrodome. The Twins have won in 32 of his last 38 starts here, or 84% of the time. Here we are laying a tad less than 2-1 odds on a starter that has proven over his entire career he is worth better than 4-1. Mike Maroth has been pitching to an ERA closing in on 5 for his career and even higher so far this year. Santana has won 10 of 12 decisions against the Tigers over his career or 83.3%, again another 4-1 ratio. Maroth has won just 3 of 12 decisions over the Twins, or 25%, and his ERA is right around his career average. There is no doubt where the value lies in this one and Santana and the Twins get the nod.



Game: St. Louis at San Diego (10:00 PM Eastern)

Pick: 4 units on San Diego -200 (risk 4 to win 2)


One of the hottest pitchers in the league squaring off with one of the coldest. Kip Wells is 1-6, and the only consistency he has shown is he has gotten progressively worse from start-to-start. His season has shown earned runs of 0, 3, 4, 7, 7 and 7 in consecutive starts and he has now become bat shy. He walked 5 in his first 3 starts and 10 in his last 3, with more each outing - a sure sign of a pitcher devoid of confidence. He has now pitched to an ERA of 10.71 in his last four starts and the opponents have scored 36 runs in those starts. Jake Peavy is allowing just a .181 batting average against him and his ERA is below 2. The Cards scored nine runs last game, but don't be fooled. Rolen (1-18), Pujols (3-19), Edmonds (4-19), Eckstein (3-13), and Taqachi (2-10) in the last week and combined they have only one extra-base hit and zero HRs. The Cards ! offense has done nothing and when they face quality pitching, even less. They have faced eight starters on the season with an ERA of 3.00 or less on the season and this is what they produced: 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3 and 2 runs. That is 11 runs in 8 games or 1.38-runs per game! It is hard to conceive a lineup that is struggling to break-out against the league’s top pitcher so far and equally ill-conceived to see a pitcher that has progressively worsened start to start and one that has become bat shy will suddenly respond on the road.



Michael Cannon Money Train

Friday's Plays..

20 Dime –

WARRIORS
Lay the points with Golden State tonight in Game 3 of their series with Utah.
The Warriors handed the game to the Jazz in Game 2, no question about it. They could have clinched the outright win had they made their free throws in the last 16 seconds. Instead, they missed three of four from the foul line and the Jazz ran away with the game in overtime.
Golden State knows that they can play with the Jazz on their home court, now the big question will be can the Jazz play on the Warriors home turf?
The Warriors may have the best home court advantage in the entire NBA. The players feed off the fans intensity and I expect a breakneck pace for most of the game.
It doesn’t matter that Utah holds such a large rebounding advantage over the smaller Warriors, because Golden State still should have won Game 2 despite being outrebounded 60-32.
Coach Don Nelson will have his Warriors running at every opportunity and it wouldn’t surprise me if the Jazz had a letdown after their emotional Game 2 win.
Despite losing the first two games of this series, Golden State is still on a 13-5 SU run and they are 22-7-1 ATS in their last 30 games. The Warriors are 7-4-1 ATS against the Jazz in the last 12 meetings, and the straight-up winner is 9-2-1 ATS in those contests.
The Warriors have a great chance to get themselves back in the series tonight, as the Jazz are mired in a 3-12 SU slump on the road, going 4-11 ATS. The straight-up winner has covered the spread in 14 of those 15 games.
Lay the points with Golden State as they get themselves back into the series with a win and cover in Game 3.

10 Dime –

TWINS -1 ½ RUN LINE (With Maroth and Santana as listed pitchers)

I know it’s a big price, but when you have a pitcher like Johan Santana at home it’s as close to a sure thing as you’re going to get.
Santana has dominated the Tigers in his career, much like every other major league club. He’s 10-2 with a 2.68 ERA in 16 games. In 110 2-3 innings, Santana has given up only 81 hits while striking out 117 Detroit batters.
Mike Maroth will go for the Tigers and he’s had his problems with the Twins. The left-hander is 3-9 with a 4.69 ERA in 17 games against Minnesota.
I’ll gladly lay the run and a half if it means getting Santana at home at this price.
Take the Twins on the run line behind their ace.

5 Dime –

BLUE JAYS (With Burnett as listed pitcher)
I’ll admit I’m a big fan of A.J. Burnett. The guy has incredible stuff but just seems to be cursed by the injury bug which explains why he hasn’t been able to put together a string of successful seasons one after another.
But if there’s any guy who has the stuff to match Scott Kazmir, it’s Burnett.
The Devil Ray’s ace is an extremely talented, young pitcher. But he’s going to find the offensive support he needs to win on the road wanting against Burnett.
Kazmir is 2-3 in his career against the Blue Jays, including a loss on April 8, when he gave up four earned runs in seven innings of a 6-3 home loss.
Burnett will have success tonight against the free-swinging Devil Rays lineup. He has the ability to blow his fastball by hitters and will get Tampa Bay to chase some of his offspeed stuff out of the zone.
The Toronto right-hander is 5-1 with a 2.56 ERA in nine career games against Tampa, allowing only 42 hits in 70 1-3 innings with 60 strikeouts.
Lay the small juice with Toronto behind Burnett tonight at home.

MARLINS (With Olsen as listed pitcher)
This is a small price to pay with the better lineup and better pitcher tonight.
Take the Marlins with Scott Olsen tonight over Washington.
The young left-hander has straightened himself out after a rough early start to the season. He’s 1-1 with a 2.61 ERA over his last three starts, with 19 strikeouts and only six walks over 20 2-3 innings.
He’ll be going against a putrid Nationals lineup that doesn’t offer much punch, especially not in cavernous RFK Stadium.
The Marlins do have a talented bunch of hitters in their lineup, and I expect them to wear out the Washington pitching staff tonight.
Lay the small juice with Florida behind Olsen.

A’s (With Sabathia and Blanton as listed pitchers)
Take the A’s tonight at home over the Indians as a small dog.
We’re getting great value with Oakland tonight because of the strong start Cleveland pitcher C.C. Sabathia has had.
Sabathia is 5-0 on the season with a 3.45 ERA in seven starts, but he has a poor track record against Oakland. The big southpaw is 1-4 with a 6.40 ERA in 10 career games against the A’s.
I wouldn’t be comfortable laying the wood with him on the road with that kind of history against Oakland.
A’s starter Joe Blanton is a tough, no-nonsense kind of pitcher who seems to give Oakland a quality start every time out, regardless of venue. He’s 3-1 on the year with a 3.61 ERA in seven starts.
Take the A’s as a small home dog as they grab the win over Cleveland.

Larry Ness' 15* Situational Game of the Week-MLB (now 27-6 since Opening Day!)

My 15* play is on the Cle Indians at 10:05 ET. This is a great spot for the Indians for a number of reasons. The A's have been away from home since May 1 and traveled back from KC last night. Meanwhile, the Indians were already on the west coast, flying up from LA. Cleveland sends ace CC Sabathia to the hill, who has opened 5-0 with a 3.45 ERA in seven starts this year, all Cleveland wins! He's lasted at least six innings in every start and allowed more than three ERs just once. He'll face an Oakland team that's had trouble scoring runs all year (especially at home where the team averages 3.38 runs per game), coming off its biggest output of the season on Thursday. The A's had season-highs in runs (17), hits (18) and HRs (six) in yesterday's clubbing of the pathetic Royals. The A's are just 6-7 at home this year but will be sending a quality pitcher to the mound in Joe Blanton.. Blanton is 3-1, 3.61 in seven starts this year, lasting at least six innings in all but one start and never allowing more than four runs in any game. However, the righty has allowed seven ERs in 12 innings (two starts) against the Indians, for an ERA of 5.25. Cleveland is 17-6 this year against righties, so expect Sabathia to get some support, as he faces a team that may just have "hit itself out" yesterday. Situational Game of the Week 15* Cle Indians.

Larry Ness' Friday Nite Delight-MLB (14-5 run the L/11 days!)

My Friday Nite Delight is on the Pit Pirates at 7:05 ETThe Braves open this weekend series at Pittsburgh at 22-12, giving them a half-game lead over the Mets in the NL East. However, the Braves are just 8-8 this year when facing a left-handed starter and I expect Pittsburgh's Zach Duke to give them trouble tonight. Duke had two brutal back-to-back outings this year against SF and Mil (18 hits and 14 ERs allowed in just six innings) but in his other five starts, he's allowed just nine ERs in 31.2 innings (2.56 ERA). That includes his last three starts in which he's allowed only four ERs in 18.2 innings for a 1.93 ERA. Pittsburgh is just 5-8 at home this year but that's not much of a sample and let's remember this team was 43-38 at home in 2006, going 35-22 vs righties (team was 11-6 in Duke's home starts, as compared to 1-16 on the road!). The Pirates sure have a righty they can hit tonight, in Atlanta's Ken Davies. In 14 starts last year, he was 3-7 with an 8.39 ERA (team was 5-9) and in five starts this year, has a 6.41 ERA. That mark includes a very solid first start but in his last four outings, he's allowed 17 ERs in 20 innings, for a 7.65 ERA. Friday Night Delight on the Pit Pirates.

Free Pick for Friday, May 11th:

Detroit Tigers +188

Lets face the facts: Most of us out there want to like the Twins. For whatever reason they are one of baseballs love-able teams. The real fact is, they are playing crap ball right now. In one of the rare home fields in baseball that is actually supposed to be an advantage the Twins are dropping games like a little league team drops fly balls. And its just as ugly. Even with Santana on the mound the Twins can not get run support. Santana would have to throw a near perfect game to ensure a victory and its just not likely. With the big bats coming out of Detroit I expect to see this one stay close and low scoring until Santana comes out of the game around the 8th inning when Detroit will taking BP on the Twins bullpen

The Cubs head east for a seven-game road trip to Philadelphia and New York, beginning Friday night at Philly's Citizens Bank Park. Rich Hill will open the trip against Philly left-hander Cole Hamels. The Cubs got off to a slow start but they've pulled themselves back to .500 and into second place, in large part due to the emergence of Rich Hill. The lefthander has been outstanding in his six starts (1.73 ERA) and he should fare well against a Philadelphia club that is only 4-9 (-$490) vs. left-handers this season. Hill has also fared well on the road, going 2-0 with a 1.23 ERA away from Wrigley Field this season. Hill ranks fourth in the National League in ERA, behind teammate Jason Marquis (1.70 ERA). Hill also ranks among the top 20 in the NL in strikeout-to-walk ratio a category Ted Lilly leads. Hill’s supporting cast on the offensive side is now begging to show some very positive signs. Free agent acquisition Alfonso Soriano has reached base safely in all 26 games he's played in, and he also has a career-high 18-game hitting streak. Derrick Lee meanwhile, reached on an infield single in the fourth inning Thursday to extend two streaks: He's hit safely in 17 consecutive games and reached base safely in all 32 games this season. Aramis Ramirez has a career .314 average at Citizens Bank Park and last season he hit .433 (13-for-30) with three home runs against the Phillies. Philadephia is also 0-2 -$215 in home/night games against left-handers. My only concern, however, is the fact that the Cubbies have also struggled a bit against right-handers 2-2 this season, but they have turned a profit in away games this season. Couple that with the fact that Philadelphia’s starting pitcher, Cole Hamels checks in to this contest in giving up over 1 hit for every inning pitched and we really have to go with this value play. We've got a superior pitcher, a better team and an underdog price, so grab the visitor at Citizens Bank tonight.

Verdict: Chicago (NL) 6, Philadelphia 3
PLAY 1* UNIT ON CHICAGO +$110


Alex Smart

Detroit Tigers

(205) *OPINION* The Tigers enter into this contest against the host Twins on fire having won 9 of their L/10 games. Mike Maroth Motowns southpaw starting pitcher has seen his team win his L/6 starts , including defeating the Twins, the last time he faced them. The struggling Twins who have lost 7 of their L/10 overall, will send Cy Young award winner Johan Santana to the hill to face a Tigers team that had success against him the last time they met recording 3 runs and 8 hits in 6 innings of work in their April 29 meeting. Santana has seen his team lose 3 of his L/5 starts, partly due to a lack of run support, but also because of some rare concentration inconsistencies. With that said, lets ride the momentum of the Tigers. Final notes & Trends: Minnesota has failed in 6 of their L/8 opportunities as favorites. Tigers have won 5 straight as underdogs. Tigers are 6-0 in Maroths L/5 road starts. Twins have lost 4 straight at home against a lefty starter.

Jake Peavy has pitched brilliantly for the Padres this season, posting a 1.75 ERA and an outstanding 0.97 WHIP with 56 strikeouts in 46.1 innings. He has now posted double-digit strikeout totals in three consecutive starts while allowing a grand total of three runs and nine hits in 21 innings over those outings. Considering that he is facing a putrid Cardinal lineup that is hitting .220 as a team over the last 10 games, we would not be at all shocked if St. Louis scores either one or no runs tonight!
Now granted Kip Wells has been a horror show lately, but for whatever reason, he has always pitched well vs. San Diego, allowing two runs or less in five of his six career starts against them. Besides, the Padres are not exactly scorching the ball themselves, batting just .224 vs. right-handed pitching in the last 10 contests.
Finally, both of these bullpens are ranked in the top four in the Major Leagues in ERA, with San Diego third at 2.53 and St. Louis fourth at 2.97, which become even more important when going Under a low total like this.



Los Angeles Dodgers

(-120) *OPINION* Dodgers -120 with Wolf vs. Reds
The Dodgers swept all six games in the season series with the Reds last year, and we look for them to continue that dominance for at least one more game tonight.
Although Cincinnati beat Houston 9-5 yesterday, the Reds are still reeling as that was just their second win in nine games. Bronson Arroyo was a pleasant surprise last season, but teams have figured him out a bit this year, and he did not exactly fool the Dodger hitters the last time he faced them, allowing four earned runs on 10 hits in six innings. Conversely, the southpaw Randy Wolf allowed just one run and six hits with eight strikeouts in 5.1 innings in Atlanta in his last start, and he has two Quality Starts in his last three outings against the Reds.
Finally, Los Angeles has the far superior bullpen ERA here at 3.00, compared to 4.50 for the Reds, making the Dodgers worth an investment here at this modest price at home.

All games are listed pitchers unless stated otherwise.



Milwaukee +1.14 over NY METS PINNACLE

This one is pretty much a no-brainer. There’s not a team in the majors that’s playing better then the Brewers and a little trip to the Big Apple is surely not going to bring out the worst in them. This is a focused, confident and talented group that is not only getting timely hitting but their pitching and bullpen has been brilliant. Mets are tough, no doubt but they haven’t been that tough at Shea, where their record is just 7-7. Jeff Suppan has pitched his best games at this venue and he’s sharper right now then he’s ever been. In fact, Suppan has given up just three runs over his last 22 2-3 innings. Jorge Sosa makes just his second start of the year after being sent down to the minors because of an ineffective spring. We’ve seen Sosa dazzle but we’ve also seen him struggle miserably and he’s just not been able to stay consistent enough at this level. Play: Milwaukee +1.14 (Risking 2 units).



Chicago +1.11 over PHILADELPHIA PINNACLE

With names over the past few years like Kerry Wood, Mark Prior, Carlos Zambrano and this year, Ted Lilly, the guy that has emerged as the best of the bunch is the guy nobody knows. Southpaw Rich Hill has been as solid and efficient as any pitcher in the business. The league is hitting a puny .183 off Hill and he’s been just as good on the road as he’s been at home. He comes in with an ERA of just 1.73 and perhaps the most impressive number is his WHIP (walks and hits per innings pitched), which is an unheard of 0.91. Furthermore, the Phillies are just 4-9 against lefties this season and have yet to record a single win against a lefty at Citizens Bank Park this season. Cole Hamels has been very ordinary for the Phillies and it’s also worth noting that the Cubbies have really picked it up recently with seven wins in their last 10 games. A tag on Hill is going to be a rarity very soon so grab it while it lasts. Play: Chicago +1.11 (Risking w units).



Tampa Bay +1.18 over TORONTO PINNACLE

The Blue Jays are sinking faster than Tank Johnson’s career and we just hope we’re not too late to cash in. Things are so bad that even Doc Halliday has gotten into the act by losing two straight and getting hit pretty hard in the process. The Blue Jays aren’t hitting (27 runs scored in their last nine games), the pitching has been atrocious (72 runs allowed over those same nine games), and now the news spread quickly that B.J. Ryan is out for the year. With Frank Thomas either striking out or hitting into a double-play almost every AB, with the pitching staff in complete disarray, with confidence being extremely low, with a nine-game losing streak hanging over their heads, the Blue Jays are in big trouble and we doubt it’ll end here. Scott Kazmir is a quality pitcher and the D-Rays still possess one of the more dangerous offenses in the majors. Expect A.J. Burnett to get into the act tonight too, as losing is very contagious. Play: Tampa Bay +1.18 (Risking 2 units).



CHICAGO –1½ +1.17 over Kansas City PINNACLE

The White Sox have suddenly come to life much later than most expected but nonetheless, it’s happened. Chicago went into Minnesota in an important series and took two of three. They’ve now won four of five and will take a giant step down in class here. The Royals only lost by two touchdowns yesterday to Oakland, which could’ve been different had they not missed that field goal late in the first half. Now the Royals will try to rebound with Odalis Perez on the hill. Fat chance. Perez has been batting practice for the opposition, as the league is hitting .347 off him. On the road the opposition is hitting .389 off him. Perez comes in with an ERA of 6.75 and a road ERA of 8.03. Against the White Sox in his career he’s 0-3 with a 6.65 ERA. Overall the Royals have lost something like 400 of their last 410 games and their chances of hanging around here against Garland and the White Sox is worse then Mike Tyson’s chances of getting a job as a speech therapist. Play: Chicago –1½ +1.17 (Risking 2 units).

NBA:

Utah/Golden State Over 54.5 1Q 1 Unit

The one thing you know is that the pace will be here for this one to go over. Golden State plays at a pace that I haven't seen before. Not only do they shoot early in the shot clock, but they throw up a ton of 3's. The total at the end of the 1Q in Game 1 was 72. Total at the end of the 1Q in game 2 was 59. See no reason why this will change tonight. I see the Warriors coming out strong tonight to start the game. You always have the chance that shots will not fall early, or one team being ice cold. That is the reason it is only a one unit play. Still feel real confident about this one.

Play: Over 54.5 First Quarter (Risking 1.1 Units to win 1).


Dr.B


One NBA Best Bet for Friday. No Arena Best Bets or Opinions tonight.

2 Star Selection
**GOLDEN STATE (-6 1/2) over Utah
06:05 PM Pacific - Rotation 706
The Warriors are down zero games to two in this series despite controlling the second half of both games. Golden State is a better team than the Jazz and they are not likely to give games away at home, where they are 11-1 ATS when not laying double-digits when Baron Davis, Jason Richardson, and Stephen Jackson are all playing. The Warriors apply to an 18-2 ATS game 3 situation and a decent 42-16-1 ATS playoff bounce-back situation. I'll take Golden State in a 2-Star Best Bet at -7 points or less.

Utah Jazz (57-34) at Golden State Warriors (46-44)


Golden State Warriors - 6 1/2

Series: Semifinals; Utah leads 2-0

Look for the Warriors to be steadily forceful on their home court throughout tonight’s game. The Jazz are a horrible 3-12 on the road in the last 15 games, just 4-11 against the spread.


Utah is 6-0-1 ATS in its last 7 games.
Golden State is 10-2-1 ATS in its last 13 games.


Golden State is 6-3-1 ATS in its last last 10 games versus Utah at home.




Go with the Warriors to grab a essential win at ORACLE Arena. Golden State has won eight straight home games, 33-11 this season and split four games against the Jazz this year, going 3-1 ATS.


Oddsmakers: Golden State as a 6 1/2-point home favorite, total set at 217.


MLB:

Friday, May 11th, 2007, 10:40 PM EST.

Cincinnati Reds (15-20) at Los Angeles Dodgers (20-15)
(R) Bronson Arroyo (2-2) vs. (L) Randy Wolf (3-3)


Cincinnati sends Bronson Arroyo to the mound. Arroyo allowed three runs, five hits and struck out seven over 5 2/3 innings of a 9-3 win against Colorado on Sunday. The right-hander is 0-1 with a 4.91 ERA in four carrer appearances, three starts against the Dodgers. Los Angeles counters with Randy Wolf. The left-hander allowed one run, six hits and strike out eight in 5 1/3 innings on Sunday in a 6-4 loss to Atlanta, but did not record a decision. Wolf is 5-2 with a 3.58 ERA in 11 career starts against the Reds.



Los Angeles has lost five of their last 7 home games, but may get a break tonight when they face the Reds, a team they have beaten in the last six matches. The struggling Reds have lost seven of their last nine games overall. Take Los Angeles at Dodger Stadium. Cincinnati has drop five of Arroyo's last 6 road starts.


Oddsmakers:
Opening line has Los Angeles as a -125 home favorite with the total listed at 8 'over'.

Los Angeles Dodgers

Time Game Today's Pick
9:00 p.m. est. Utah (57-34) at Golden State (46-44) Golden State Warriors - 6 1/2
Golden State has won eight straight home games, 6-2 against the spread and has won seven of the last ten meetings versus the Jazz at ORACLE Arena. Take the Warriors at home. Utah is just 3-12 straight-up in its last 15 games away from home, going 4-11 ATS.



MLB:


Friday, May 11th, 2007, 10:05 p.m. est.



St. Louis Cardinals (14-18) at San Diego Padres (18-17)
(R) Kip Wells (1-6) vs. (R) Jake Peavy (4-1)



St. Louis' right-hande Kip Wells (1-6, 6.59) allowed seven runs, six hits and four walks over 4 1/3 innings in a 13-0 loss against Houston last Sunday. Wells is 4-1 with a 6.04 ERA in six career starts against the San Diego.


San Diego's right-hander Jake Peavy (4-1, 1.75 ERA) allowed just one run, one hit and strike out 10 over seven innings in a 3-1 win over Florida last Sunday. Peavy is 1-2 with a 4.11 ERA in five career starts against the Cardinals.


St. Louis has dropped four of their last 5 games on the road, but has won four of its last five at San Diego. Meanwhile, San Diego has lost their last three games


Go with the under. The Padres bats are cold and right-hander Jake Peavy should make it difficult for the Cardinals to score. The total has gone under in four of the last five meetings at Petco Park


Under - 7

The real question is who do you trust? Of course everyone is all over GS. Why not? I mean the series can’t possibly go to 3~0, could it? LOL. GS is the obvious play. But the question is, what is the sharp play? Remember, Utah has a serious advantage (mismatch) on the boards.

Make it 24~8 now as Mr. A and Gina (BB's very last service post) are on GS and Charlie is on UT. And make it 5 (still) on the UNDER and 6 on the OVER as Charlie likes the OVER too.
