NHL- 0-1 -1 unit
Man i should have went with my original leans....Didn't think the Canucks would mash on the hawks like that tonight, almost took them on the money line but pussed out because of the hawks home record.The under was looking pretty good but that goal in the 1st with seconds left then they scored within a minute of the 2nd i was in trouble.If it wasn't for that 2 man advantage goal which i think the whistle should have went the under would of  hit....shoulda woulda coulda though  right?


lets get it back  manana

May 1st Selections

MLB
Wash +134@Fla & Wash@Fla Over 9.5 -109
The nationals have been Surprisingly good this year mostly because of hitting. Marlins are 0-9 in Volstads last 9 starts with 5 days of rest.Nat's are 7-2 in their last 9 games as an underdog of +110 to +150.Both Teams have beat up on today's starters, they haven't lasted more than 5 innings when these teams face off. im going to ride the over on this one also .

NHL
Van@Chi Under 5.5 +105
I was originally all over the over before this series started but I pulled a 180. Both teams are well rested and ready for each other. Under is 7-3-1 in the last 11 meetings in Chicago.Under is 4-1 in Blackhawks last 5 games as a home favorite of -151 to -200. I can see the Canucks Stealing this game they are 7-3 on 3 days or more rest Hawks are 4-6-0-1

How Seattle didn't score when they had the bases loaded twice with no outs is beyond me !! then buddy fucks the sac bunt and pull away when Ichiro is going for home *shakes head*.
Boston what can i say relief pitching has been bad this year all around its just crazy. had the lead in the 8th gives up a homer to Tijeda then bring in more shitty pitchers......
At least SD pulled out the 3-0 win I'm sure what to think of these guys just starting out hot or are they for real.

NHL 1-0 +1 unit
Pretty much nailed this one Point shots and big bodies in front of Halak or as Don Cherry would say Havlak.The power play  scored more goals in the first period  than Washington did in 7 games.

April 30th Selections

MLB
TEX@SEA -1 -105
This will be Cliff Lees season debut, he had a successful Rehab stint in the minors going 6 scoreless innings on only 78 pitches. Texas is hitting only .222 vs lefties and its .176 vs lefties on the road. Nelson Cruz is on the DL and Vlad has .190 in 22 at bats vs Lee. M's are 7-2 at home vs Texas 3-6 on the road. It is a tougher pitching  match up so I'm taking the -1 to cut the price

MIL@SD -125
I like the Padres here 6-1 in game 2's of a series Mil is 2-5. Brewers are 0-6 in Bushs last 6 starts following a team loss in their previous game.Padres are 7-0 in their last 7 home games.Richard has pitched pretty good this year but the W has eluded him  thinking he picks it up tonight.

BOS -1 -123@BAL
This is my power ranking play for today. The difference is 9 and if you look at the CWS/NYY game The difference is 9.1 but the price is almost Double. Boston coming off of a day off and Lackey is 9-3, 3.21 ERA vs. BAL i see Boston turning thing around today against the O's 5th starter in Hernandez who is

0-3, 4.84 ERA on the year  and 1-2, 5.40 ERA vs. BOS. Sox are 6-3 away Baltimore are 1-8 at home

NHL
MTL@PIT Over 5.5 -104
I don't want to say that Penguins have more skill than the Capitals but they have more determination and Heart. They know what it takes to sip from Lord Stanley's Mug. After they seen what the Canadiens did to the Caps Pittsburgh is going to come out hard, Fore checking and special teams will be me more successful that Washington's,With bigger bodies in front of Halak and more point shots

April 29th Recap

MLB -   2-0 + 2.42units
Cards hitting didn't fall off at all with Pujols out. Wainright had a good outing 78 pitches through 6, taking it easy  after going deep in his last 2 starts.
D-Backs and Kennedy Strike again at Wrigley field Kennedy only let 1 run through 7 the only blemish was in the 8th inning he walked a couple and loaded the bases for a Fukudome grand slam but that wasn't enough the D-back bats are on fire right now.
Would have had a third winner but the wagering closed just before i could get my bet in on the Tigers.... doh!

NHL-  0-1 -1 unit
If it wasn't for 3 goals in about a minute twenty apart i think the Redwings would have took this game, The Sharks Came out hard took advantage of a heavy legged Wings squad. They almost battled back though Sharks could only muster up 1 goal the rest of the game.Detroit ended up out shooting them.

April 29th Selections

MLB
ATL@STL -1 -132
I took this one overnight i though the number would only go up ...was i wrong came down to -117, but i still like this one Wainright is 4-0 with a 1.50 era in 7 appearances against Atlanta 4 of them starts, braves only  hitting .216 off him.Cards are 4-3 in day games but their pitching in day games has a 1.84 era in 73.1 ip (2nd in the league)  with a .240 BA day games while  ATL is 3-4 5.37 era 63.2 ip (26th overall)  .233 BA in day games.line dropped cause Pujols is probably sitting this one out

ARI +142@CHC
Kennedy has been getting better in each start this year,his last outing he went 8 good  innings against the Phillies only to let the bull pen take away his W. Last season, they played six times and the D-Backs won four including two of three from the Cubs at Wrigley Field


NHL
 DET +124@SJ
I like Detroit here San Jose seem to come out flat on few days rest and the Wings are 30-12-3-6 on 1 days rest
they should be riding the Momentum wave after that win in Phoenix.

Wow what a game, Halak is a beast, not to mention Montreal blocking shots like kevlar. I Can't believe that first Washington Goal was waved off which in the end killed them. Too bad i took the over last minute i figured if Caps won it would be over, just trying to cover my ass cant complain though plus units

MLB 1-0 + 1 unit
Left handed pitching got the best of Braves again, Garcia went 7 shut out innings only 4 hits picking up the 6-0 win. Yanks won too 8-3 should have played it ...easy to say afterwards

April 28th Selections

NHL
MTL +252@WASH
Taking a shot with Montreal here way too much value to pass up on. Ovi has been off kinda like he was in theOlympics, Big game pressure? Semin has been MIA this whole series. with the way Halak has been playing its worth the shot. But I wouldnt  be surprised to see a game like the Det vs pho
MLT@WASH over 6 +107
Going to ride the over as well in this one suspecting both teams to score with a fast pace right from the get go

MLB
ATL@STL -1 -108
 Kawakami 0-3, 4.76 ERA vs Garcia  1-1, 1.42 ERA (L)  first time both teams will face each pitcher. Atlanta is near the bottom vs left handed pitching  hitting  .216. Garcia could have picked up a win against SF and Lincecum if it weren't for a couple errors. Yankees are the play for the team ranking system but Yanks screw me everytime....so im not playing it they probably win

Damn Yankee's cant win with these guys.... shouldn't have played them tonight. First game back after being on the west coast and they had the white house thing.
probably wouldn't have got the cover took Milwaukee -1.5 but come on the bull pens this year for all teams have been just trash.  5 runs in the top of the 9th after taking a one run lead bottom of the 8th.
Colorado beat up on Arizona 12-1 to salvage a little bit of my night Edwin jackson giving up 10 runs in 2 innings. Jimenez continues his dominance 6 scoreless innings

NHL 0-1  -1 unit
So much for the Yotes. From the drop of the puck Detroit had their number out shooting them 16-7 in the first and just had a jump on the Coyotes. Bryzgalov had a nice first thats about it. Yotes only goal came off a lucky face off. so we got SJ vs Det  and Van vs Chi

NYY -1 -125@BAL

Little reasoning behind this one ,Baltimore horrible's are just that. Hughes has been pitching well 2-0 on the season wins over LAA and OAK and sports a 0.89 whip..only thing not to like is the public all over NY 80%

PITT@MIL -1.5 -105

whats to say first series between these 2 Milwaukee swept 8-2, 8-0, 20-0 Wolf pitched that 20-0 slaughter. Pirates called up a pitcher from the minors, Karstens hes given up 13 runs in 16 innings off 21 hits. At -230 though ,I'll take a shot on the Run line

ARI@COL -1 -149
Taking Colorado again Jimenez is a beast he's been holding good hitting teams down,yesterday was a case of Haren being on his game

NHL

DET@PHO +102 

 I just don't think its Detroit's year, seems like they are running out of gas after that huge run to get into the playoffs, are we watching the decline of Lidstrom? Yotes seem to have a step on him and the goaltending favors Phoenix. Got to wonder if Babcock thought of putting Osgood in but they rode Howard to far to give up on him. Have to think the NHL would love Phoenix advancing, what a round 2 that would be against the Sharks

i think i gotta look into the pitching match ups more after taking the rankings into consideration.

NHL
1-1 +0.18
After the first period of the Buffalo/Boston i thought it was going to stay under Rask and Miller were lights out but it opened up a bit in the second before the empty netter put it over.
Nashville/Chicago wow what a first period 4-3 Chicago after one period then the scoring just stopped Nashville couldn't buy a goal so many PP chances they couldn't capitalize on.Hawks were blocking everything

till tomorrow....

ARI@COL +102

I like the Rockies here, Haren and the D-backs haven't done to good in Colorado  their last few trips 0-4

and the power ranking is pointing to Rockies(7.6 difference) I'll stick to this system till it starts going to shits.

Dan Haren                                                   
2-1, 5.19 ERA

5-4, 3.17 ERA vs. COL

Jason Hammel

BUFF@BOS Over 5 +118
i like this one to go over another elimination game will be balls out and if one team is down expect the goalie to be on the bench

CHI@NASH +129
Taking a shot with Nashville here this team doesn't seem to get shook after tough losses. They come out and do their job night in night out . 14-3-2 on 1 days rest after a loss

Pho/Det another NBC day game goes over the number surprise !
CANUCKS WIN!!  LOOOOOOOU!  awesome game, Luongo  came up huge robbing Smyth off his back. Another 3rd period comeback they have been doing it all year...Finally Burrows get on the board even if it was a empty netter took some weight off those shoulders no doubt.   GO Nashville!! take the hawks to seven beat them up for us. Woooo!

MIN -132@KC
This is another play using the power ranking system Minny hasnt been able to pull of a series sweep this year and Mauer may be out on a rest day but you cant keep this team from a sweep all year.

NHL
Van -117@LA  
I like Vancouver to get it done tonight, they do not want a game 7. Canucks are 21-7 in their last 28 when their opponent allows 5 goals or more in their previous game. while Kings are 1-4 in their last 5 home games as home Dog and  0-4 in their last 4 when their opponent scores 5 goals or more in their previous game.Nucks rattled Quick last game i know i shouldnt play a side and total hit both so rarely but im also on the over 5.5
Van@ LA over 5.5 +106

Pho@Det over 5 -119 
Elimination game for Phoenix they are going to have to put some goals  in crash the net do whatever to win and if they are down a goal or 2 the Goalie will be pulled and Empty net goals will most likely push it over
