Cincinnati Reds @ Atlanta Braves Tuesday May 15, 2012 7:10 pm
3* MLB SMASH on Braves -110 The Braves are showing some nice value at home this price. Cincy's Cueto is out of the gate strong, but I expect him to get popped tonight. The Reds have lost his last 2 starts against the Braves, during which he has given up 6 runs on 15 hits in 13 ... read more

Indiana Pacers @ Miami Heat Tuesday May 15, 2012 7:05 pm
5* NBA Playoffs *BEST BET* on Heat -7 The Heat did not play well in Game 1 and still won by 9. Rest assured, they'll play much better tonight. We are getting a nice number here because Chris Bosh is out. We'll gladly take it because I don't expect his absence to be detrimental. ... read more

4* MLB Blowout on Rangers -1.5 +110 Kansas City enters off a pair of impressive road wins in Chicago, but it is just 1-12 in road games since the start of last season after 2 or more consecutive wins. It has lost by an average score of 4.6 to 2.4 in this situation. Plus, the Royals ... read more

Atlanta Braves @ St. Louis Cardinals Saturday May 12, 2012 7:15 pm
4* MLB SMASH on Cardinals -123 I really like the Cards at home at this price given their success against the Braves, and more specifically Wainwright's success against them. The St. Louis ace has turned it around since a slow start. The Cards have won his last two starts, and ... read more

Philadelphia 76ers @ Chicago Bulls Tuesday May 8, 2012 9:35 pm
4* NBA SMASH on Bulls -5 The fact odds makers have made the Bulls this large of a favorite following 3 straight losses to the 76ers is significant. That's because home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points that are out for revenge for a loss to a team that held them to less than 85 points, ... read more
