Los Angeles Clippers @ San Antonio Spurs Tuesday May 15, 2012 9:35 pm
LA Clippers at San AntonioTerrible spot for the Clippers who had to go the distance with Memphis and win a short handed game on the road just to advance. The Spurs are the vastly more experienced team and they own a major rest advantage. The line is high for a reason and unlike last ... read more

Cleveland Indians @ Minnesota Twins Monday May 14, 2012 8:10 pm
Cleveland at MinnesotaThe Twins have finally gotten to the point where they are producing value. To make Pavano a sizable home dog against the slumping offense of the Indians is simply a mistake. Pavano, a former Indian, has a career ERA of 2.83 against the Tribe. Gomez has a bright ... read more

Kansas City Royals @ Chicago White Sox Sunday May 13, 2012 2:10 pm
Kansas City at ChicagoHere we get the better starter and a plus money price. Danny Duffy is starting to come into his own as the best starter on this Kansas City staff.

Cleveland at BostonJustin Masterson came up in the Boston organization and he was traded a few years ago to Cleveland in the Victor Martinez deal. We know Masterson has never forgotten that. He gets especially up for facing his old team with a 1.95 career ERA against them.Daniel ... read more

Denver Nuggets @ Los Angeles Lakers Saturday May 12, 2012 10:30 pm
Denver at Los AngelesThe Nuggets have made a nice comeback to even this series but their season is likely to end tonight. Home teams in game sevens are always a positive play and the line in this game hasn't been inflated. The return of Meta World Peace and the undressing of ... read more

Colorado Rockies @ Los Angeles Dodgers Friday May 11, 2012 10:10 pm
Colorado at Los AngelesLow total in a Jamie Moyer game is always a solid reason to play the Over. Moyer has a lifetime 5.50 ERA in his 72 inning career against the Dodgers. And keep in mind much of that was in his prime. Moyer is a crafty pitcher but his best days are behind him.Capuano ... read more

New York at MiamiLarge pitching edge in this one for the underdog as Santana has a career ERA of 1.46 in 68 lifetime innings against the Marlins. Well aware that the Mets will be seeing Buehrle for the first time but at this price the Mets are well worth a wager. Miami is playing ... read more

Houston Astros @ Pittsburgh Pirates Friday May 11, 2012 7:05 pm
Houston at PittsburghAs good as McDonald has been this season we can't see the Pirates being a favorite of this size over anybody. Pittsburgh doesn't score enough offensively to be a sizable favorite and we're not sure that Houston doesn't have the pitching advantage. Norris has ... read more

Chicago Bulls @ Philadelphia 76ers Thursday May 10, 2012 7:00 pm
Chicago at PhiladelphiaThe Bulls defense came through last time out but that may not be enough to avoid elimination tonight. The Sixers have shot 32% the last three games and have still held their own against this shorthanded Chicago team. Now back at home we expect the Sixers to ... read more

San Francisco Giants @ Los Angeles Dodgers Tuesday May 8, 2012 10:10 pm
San Francisco at Los AngelesGoing strictly by the numbers it would be hard to make a case for the Giants here. After all Kershaw has owned them in his career and Vogelsong hasn't pitched well against the Dodgers. But this is a fierce rivalry and the line is simply too high to ignore ... read more

Atlanta at ChicagoDempster has had his problems in his history vs the Braves but he's still a much better option that Delgado at this stage of his career. He's been a very solid starter this season for the Cubs which can't be said very often as Chicago started off the season horrendously. ... read more

Washington Nationals @ Pittsburgh Pirates Tuesday May 8, 2012 7:05 pm

Atlanta at ColoradoWe continue to see value going against Jamie Moyer and we will continue to do so as long as he has a rotation spot, which may not be too much longer. We love the story of Moyer's return and we wish him the best, but the truth of the matter is he doesn't have swing ... read more

LA Clippers at MemphisThe closing total in the first game of the series was 183 1/2 and the lines makers opened this game at 186 1/2 until early smart action drove it down to the current 185 number. We feel there is still plenty of value in this number as the Grizzlies shot lights ... read more
