Ben lee split on Saturday winning with the Dodgers -$150/Rockies and losing with the Mariners -$130/Tigers.
For Sunday "Mr Chalk" likes the Yankees -$240/Indians (This man is truly "Mr Chalk") and the Pirates Pk/Braves.
"Mr Chalk" is 2-4 -$470 for the week and 8-6 -$260 for the year.

Trace Adams 1000* - Orlando Magic, 500* - Denver Nuggets, 500* - Colorado w/Jimenez over McDonald Both teams closed poorly, the Sixers losing 6 of their last 7, the Magic dropping 4 of their final 6, but my belief is Orlando was just going through the motions, knowing they would be locked into the 3rd spot, while Philly nearly dipped to 8th with their end of the season swoon.
I don't like the matchups at all for the 76ers in this series, as Orlando won and covered all 3 in this year's season series, and they have won 4 straight, and 8 of the last 9 series meetings, covering the last 4, and 6 of the last 8.
Orlando finished the regular season 32-9 straight up at home, going 23-18 against the spread, while Philadelphia went just 17-24 straight up on the road, and 18-23 against the spread in those road games.
I am fully expecting an Orlando blowout win tonight.
1000♦ - Orlando Magic
Denver finished as the # 2 seed in the West, and a quiet # 2 seed at that, as I don't here much talk surrounding George Karl's team. In the past, the Nuggets defense would do them in come the post season, but the addition of stopper Chauncy Billups has given Denver a little toughness they haven't had in the past, and I expect the Nuggets to open at home with the win, and cover over the Hornets.
New Orleans has played an injury-ravaged regular season, and while CP3 is a man among men, the fact remains the Hornets closed with losses in their last pair, and 6 of their final 8, going just 3-5 against the spread in those setbacks!
Denver has had some flameouts early in the postseason in the past, but I don't think tonight is going to be one of them. The Nuggets did close the regular season with series wins, and covers in 2 of the last 3 meetings against the Hornets.
I like them to make it 3 of 4 with the win, and cover tonight.
500♦ - Denver Nuggets
In baseball, take the Rockies to avoid the sweep at Chavez Ravine.
Los Angeles has won 7 straight, and they have yet to lose at home at 5-0. One of the Dodgers 3 losses came with rookie McDonald on the hill, as the young righty allowed 5 runs in just 2 innings of work against Arizona.
While you can expect the rookie to be better today, I don't see him outdueling Ubaldo Jimenez for the "W". Jimenez is making his 3rd straight road start, and he is off to a 1-1 start, but coming off a loss at the Cubs.
Jimenez is 3-0 over his last 5 starts against the Dodgers, and I like him today to cool off the sizzling start LA has gotten off to.
Take the Rockies in the small underdog role.
500♦ - Colorado w/Jimenez over McDonald

Utah Jazz (48-34) at Los Angeles Lakers (65-17)
I won't be surprised to see the Lakers blow away the Jazz. Utah is a dreadful road team,1-6 both straight-up and ATS in its last seven games away from home, just 15-26 on the road this season. Take Kobe and crew to demoralize the Jazz in their house. The Jazz have lost nine straight clashes versus the Lakers at Staples Center, going 1-7-1 ATS.
Los Angeles Lakers -12

Miami Heat (43-39) at Atlanta Hawks (47-35)
Atlanta Hawks have won six of the last eight clashes against the Miami Heat and is 31-10 at home this year, while Miami is just 26-41 on the road. However, the Heat and Hawks usually play close hard fought battles and NBA's leading scorer Dwyane Wade will be a problem for the Hawks. Take the points! Miami is 7-2 ATS in their last nine clashes versus Atlanta at Philips Arena.
Miami Heat +5
