Big Al McMordie
Diamondbacks at Phillies
Prediction: Phillies
This is a rare matchup of two lefty starters who are both well over 40 years old. The Phillies' Jamie Moyer is 44 while the Diamondbacks' Randy Johnson is 43, making the combined age of this matchup a remarkable 87 years. While Johnson has been the more dominating pitcher throughout his career and is pretty much guaranteed a spot in the Hall of Fame, Moyer's fate is less certain. Yet, the elder Phillie has been more durable throughout his career due in no small part to the fact that Moyer has never been a hard thrower or strikeout pitcher. And speaking of durability, Moyer's mound opponent has had quite a few issues already this season - Johnson spent the first three weeks of the season on the DL and now is making his first start since May 20 when he was sidelined with forearm tendinitis. The Big Unit has not fared well recently against Philadelphia with his team having lost his last three starts against the Phillies. The Phillies are 10-3 in Moyer's last 13 starts and 19-7 in their last 26 games as the favorite. Take Philadelphia.
Marc Lawrence
Orioles at Royals
Prediction: Orioles
The Orioles send rising star Eric Bedard (3-3, 4.10 ERA) to the hill in Kansas City. The lefty is in solid current form having allowed just eight earned runs in his last 34 innings of work. Meanwhile, Royals right-hander Gil Meche (3-3, 3.18 ERA) has struggled in his last two outings (19 hits and 12 earned runs in 9 1/3 innings). Look for the Royals to dip to 2-7 in Game 3 of a home series tonight
Alex Smart
Yankees at Blue Jays
Prediction: Yankees
Jays right-hander Jesse Litsch gets the start tonight against the struggling Yankees. Litsch has looked a little ragged in his last two starts having gone 0-1 with a bloated 7.56 ERA and allowing 15 hits including three homers in just 8 1/3 innings of work. This young hurler is exactly what the Yankees need to break out of their current slump. Note: The Yankees have had measured success against right-handers like Litsch this season hitting them for a .276 batting average and scoring an average of 5.4 runs per game. It's rare to get value by backing the over-hyped Yankees, but this is one of those occasions. Notch one up for the visiting Zoo Crew here this evening as they avoid being swept in back-to-back series'.
Ben Burns
Yankees at Blue Jays
Prediction: 'Under'
After another low-scoring game yesterday, the Yankees have now seen the 'under' go 4-0 their last four games and a profitable 14-4-2 their last 20. They've also seen the 'under' go a solid 13-6-1 their last 20 games versus the Jays. Meanwhile, yesterday's result also brought the 'under' to a perfect 9-0 in Toronto's last nine home games and 16-3 in their last 19. Jays right-hander Jesse Litsch, who has seen the 'under' go 3-0 in his three starts, was outstanding in his lone game in Toronto allowing just four hits and one run through 8 2/3 innings. That game finished with a 2-1 final score. New York RHP Tyler Clippard was also strong in his lone road start holding the powerful Mets to three hits and one run through six complete innings. Consider a play on the 'under'.

Game: Chicago White Sox at Minnesota (1:10 PM Eastern)
Pick: Chicago White Sox -104
Something has to give here. The Twins have not swept the White Sox at home since 2004. Minnesota is hot, but the White Sox are 7-2 at the Metrodome with Garland on the hill. Scott Baker gets the start vs. the White Sox, and he could not get out of the 5th inning in his only appearance against them last year. The entire Twins offense hits just .250 vs. Garland in over 200 at bats, and good pitching is always a remedy vs. hot hitting. We will ride the White Sox to avoid the sweep.

Dave Cokin
Take "(976) TAM Devil Rays"
James Shields is earning a reputation for owning one of the best changeups in the game, and if you get a chance to see him pitch, you'll quickly see why. He's got perfect mechanics on the pitch and a ton of late movement as it dives down and in to righty hitters. Nasty pitch! Shields has been hurt by his bullpen but has given his team a good chance to win nearly every one of his starts, and I like his shot tonight against the Tigers. Nate Robertson has been forced out on heavy pitch counts by the sixth inning on a regular basis, and the Detroit bullpen is beat up badly right now. Plus, Robertson has had trouble with the D-Rays. Good spot for Tampa Bay to bounce back from the Tuesday shellacking with the Wednesday win."
Jim Feist
Take "(973) CLE Indians"
Two of the best offensive teams in baseball meet, which means the game could come down to the bullpens more than the starting pitching. Also, which Daisuke Matsuzaka is going to show up? He's been prone to walks at times, and in his last start he had the flu and struggled through five innings. Pitchers need strength and one has to wonder if 5 days later Dice-K is fully recovered. Cleveland starter Paul Byrd (5-1, 3.81 ERA) has been outstanding, painting the corners (he's walked 3 in 52 innings!) A great spot for the talented live dog. Play the Indians!

Larry Ness' Las Vegas Insider-MLB (first totals play of the '07 season!)
My Las Vegas Insider is on Felix Hernandez of the Mariners and Jered Weaver of the Angels are two of MLB's best young pitchers. However, I feel as if this game has a great chance of going 'over' the total. Since returning from the disabled list, Hernandez has lacked the level of endurance he demonstrated at the season's start. The Seattle Mariners are also exercising caution with their budding ace. Hernandez begrudgingly left after 5.1 innings in his last start, a 10-2 win on Friday at Kansas City, after experiencing tightness in his lower back. His outing was the longest of three starts since he was on the disabled list from April 23-May 15 because of a strained right forearm flexor muscle. Hernandez has totaled only 14 innings in that span (4.50 ERA)! Weaver is 4-3 with a 3.68 ERA in eight starts in 2007. He's averaged less than six innings in his starts, after opening the season on the DL with recurring biceps tendonitis. Weaver threw only five innings Friday, allowing three runs and seven hits, but earned the win in a 10-6 victory over the Yankees in New York. Seattle had scored 50 runs in its previous five games, before last night's 4-1 loss and has averaged 5.44 RPG in 25 road games this year. The angels are 18-7 at home in 2007, while averaging 5.36 RPG at Edison Field. The total is low and I see both starters gone by the sixth. This game is headed OVER! Las Vegas Insider Sea/LAA Over

GAME: Chicago White Sox @ Minnesota Twins May 30, 2007 1:10PM
SPORT: Major League Baseball Picks
PICK: under
Offered at: 9 Sportsbook
REASON FOR PICK: 4* CHICAGO WHITE SOX/MINNESOTA Under
We have gone to the well and cashed 5* tickets behind Scott Baker in each of his first two starts since being called back up with the Twins, and today we go to the window again, with a different take. In what looks like a solid pitchers duel pitcher Baker and Jon Garland, a full "9" gives us a terrific comfort zone.
We have delved into the Baker background story already but here is the short version – he did not have the command of all of his stuff when injuries made him part of the full-time Minnesota rotation LY, and as a result walked away with a 5-8/6.37 that certainly gave the betting markets the right to sour on him. But it was just a matter of more seasoning, and his command with AAA Rochester was just what the Twins wanted to see – he had only four walks to go with 41 strikeouts when they called him up again. Now two wins later it looks like he is here for good – he has only allowed 11 hits in 13.2 innings, and is one K away from having twice as many strikeouts as walks allowed. And with last night’s easy win, all of the key arms in the bullpen are rested and ready to go behind him (Joe Nathan has had two straight nights off).
The White Sox bullpen is also lined up with all of the key arms rested and ready, but Garland’s form means that not all that much will be needed from them. When he is on he is one of the most efficient workers in the game and that has been the story in this last stretch – in six of his last seven starts he only walked a single batter, and the only game that he walked more than one was a commanding win over the Yankees anyway. He has worked to a solid 1-0/2.05 on the road, and combines with Baker to give us one of those subtle edges that means so much when playing an Under – these two do not walk many hitters, and as such big innings are hard to come by.

The Spurs under Head Coach Gregg Popovich came back from the vacation they took to view Salt Lake City in Game Three, and handled the Jazz easily on the Road in Game Four. They look to wrap up another Conference Championship with a win here in front of the Home Faithful this evening. Positive trends for the Spurs include 6-1 Against The Spread at Home in this match up, 7-2 ATS in the Conference Finals, and 29-17 ATS as Home Favorites in this point range.
The Jazz under Head Coach Jerry Sloan failed to protect their Home Court, and showed little in the second half of Game Four. They have played well throughout the Playoffs, and were well-Coached to even get this far during the post season. Negative trends for the Jazz include 18-31 ATS in this match up over the past 10 seasons, 9-22 ATS as Road Dogs in this point range, 16-33 ATS Revenging a Straight Up Home loss, and 39-64 ATS on the Road when the Total is in this point range.

It's never easy to win the 4th game of a playoff series and even though I do indeed feel SA will win this game, I don't feel they'll do it by the posted spread.
Utah will be playing for their life tonight and we've seen a lot of teams stave off elimination in Games where you thought they had no shot. We saw the Nets do it to the Cavs in Game 5, we saw the Bulls do it to the Pistons in Game 5 and I feel we'll see Utah stay with the Spurs here.
In the end, San Antonio will win but they won't win by enough to cover. Take Utah here plus the points.

It's never easy to win the 4th game of a playoff series and even though I do indeed feel SA will win this game, I don't feel they'll do it by the posted spread.
Utah will be playing for their life tonight and we've seen a lot of teams stave off elimination in Games where you thought they had no shot. We saw the Nets do it to the Cavs in Game 5, we saw the Bulls do it to the Pistons in Game 5 and I feel we'll see Utah stay with the Spurs here.
In the end, San Antonio will win but they won't win by enough to cover. Take Utah here plus the points.
