Los Angeles Angels (20-18) at Seattle Mariners (18-22)
(R) Ervin Santana (0-0) vs. (R) Chris Jakubauskas (2-4)
Go with the Angels with Santana on the hill. Los Angeles has won 10 of the last 13 games against the Mariners in Seattle and right-hander Ervin Santana in his season debut appeared to be back in form, after six weeks recouping with a sprained right elbow. Santana is 6-2 with a 3.98 ERA in his career against the Mariners. The struggling Mariners have lost 12 of their last 15 games.
Los Angeles Angels -145
Wednesday, May 20th, 2009 8:30 p.m. est.
Orlando Magic (67-28) at Cleveland Cavaliers (74-16)
Cleveland Cavaliers sail through the first two rounds of the playoffs, but I don’t think Cleveland will have as easy of undertaking against the Magic. Orlando covered the spread in all three games against Cleveland this season, 10-1 ATS in the last 11 and 5-0 ATS in the last five in Cleveland. Take the points!
Orlando Magic +9

League: MLB
Event: Pittsburgh Pirates vs Washington Nationals on 05/20/2009 at 4:05PM
Condition: Under
Grade: Ungraded
Promotion: Total of the Year: Pirates/Nationals Under.
This is a big park in Washington. Washington doesn't have much pitching, but they have a quality starter going here in 1 John Lannan, who doesn't walk anyone and has a 2.54 ERA at home. He faces a weak Pittsburgh offense, one that is 9th in the NL in runs and OBP, 10th in slugging. The Pirates have good pitching, and lefty starter Paul Maholm has been very good, at 3-1 with a 3.51 ERA. Play the Pirates/Nationals under the total.

Jack Clayton Guaranteed Selections
Date: Wednesday, May 20, 2009
$30.00 Guaranteed: Jack Clayton is off a tough loss with the Indians last night, blowing a 5-2 lead in the 9th with his Rare 6-Star Game of the Month. Bouncing back is only one game away and he will do it with a soft total, strong enough to be a 5-Star MLB Total of the Month! 5/19/2009
5* (901) Pirates/(902) Nationals Under the Total. This is not a powerful Pirate offense, ranked ninth in the NL in runs scored and on base percentage, plus a pitiful tenth in slugging. And they come to a park that is very big, a great pitcher's park. It doesn't help the Pittsburgh offense that Nyjer Morgan is banged up. Morgan sat out his third consecutive game with a left hamstring injury. Morgan ranks third on the team in batting (.304), second in RBIs (17), plus first in walks (16) and stolen bases (10). At least they have a good starter going here in Paul Maholm (3.51 ERA). The veteran lefty can qualify as an ace, as he's been consistent and is 3-1. Washington played a high scoring series here at home with Philadelphia over the weekend, but that was against a powerful defending champion lineup (and suspect pitching). Pittsburgh is solid in pitching depth. Meanwhile, Washington's usually lousy pitching staff does have a good starter going here in John Lannan, who doesn't walk anyone. Think he likes being home? Lannan has a 2.54 ERA in this big park. Play the Pirates/Nationals under the total.

Brian Graves Guaranteed Selections
Date: Wednesday, May 20, 2009
$20.00 Guaranteed: My run of MLB dominance came to an end last night as the Nationals let the Pirates jump out early and their rally fell just short. I am still 15-6 in my last 21 plays, which I will happily take for the rest of the year. Tonight I have my NL Total of the Week ready to go and it will bring me right back to the top!! 5/20/2009
Houston/Milwaukee over 7.5 runs 8:05
I know that Gallardo has owned the Astros in the past, but the Brewers have had good success against Wandy Rodriquez. With the short porch in left I like Braun, Hall and Hardy's chance of hitting one in that area, but I also like the Astros have been swinging the bats lately. Many teams struggle in their first game back from a road trip and the Astros did last night, but I like them to bounce back tonight. If they score 3 runs then this game is going over and I don't expect them to score less than 5 as they finally solve some of Gallardo's puzzle. Milwaukee keeps on winning though as the Brewers take it 7-5!
