May 8th Recap

MLB  2-1 +1.76
had a nice day on the bases Yanks could have finished off Boston with 1 more pitch but the umps decided to delay the game and pull the tarps out 6-3 was the score. Break didn't help Redsox yanks go on to win 14-3. The wheels fell of the Ray train...maybe just one of them Wade Davis gave up 3 runs in 2 innings the Rays Bats couldn't answer Sheets pitched good and was mad he got taken out pretty early . Another 2 units play wins. 2-0  on them so far, Padres almost  let Houston back in it but Heath bell came in for SD and held it down.
NHL 0-1 -1.07
So much for both teams scoring many goals SJ wins the game 2-1. Thorton , Marleau got the goals them and the Sharks continue defying their playoff reputation.
UFC 0-2 -2 units
Cote shouldn't have kept going for that take down i could feel the "power bomb" coming. His striking was starting to land. take him down get the point let him up strike repeat. I think Cote kinda gassed and gave in,wrote this up as a first fight back.
i got KO'd on this card... Koscheck came in and did what i thought he was going to do G'n'P his way to GSP. Paul Daley  would not have made a good coach anyway for a season of the Ultimate Fighter especially after he threw that punch at Koscheck well after the fight was over. That was a bitch move wouldn't be surprised if Dana drops him from the UFC.
It Looked like Machida also had the game plan to take the fight to the mat but got caught when he went in to grapple, Classy move by Shogun knowing he had The Dragon beat  and lay off the unnecessary strikes. 

2-4 -1.31 first down night in awhile, baseball continues to roll but the NHL lines are getting tougher

May 8th Selections

MLB
TB -1 -124@OAK
Riding the Ray train till the wheels fall off. Second time these 2 pitchers face off Davis and Sheets last game was won 8-6 TB. Sheets lasted 4 innings giving up all 8 runs.
NYY -131@BOS
I like the Yankees at a decent price with Sabathia toeing the rubber.NYY are 12-2 in the last 14 meetings and Boston just isn't the same Boston so far this year.Yanks are hitting .300 in day games this year
SD -125@HOU
Padres are 8-1 in game 2 of a series this year. Versus a 0-4 pitcher in  Paulino i like their chances.Astros are 0-8 in Paulinos last 8 home starts. Houston hasn't been able to score runs and SD is 3rd overall in ERA 2.80
2unit play on the Padres
NHL 
DET@SJ Over 1.5 1st period -107
Detroit figured out how to win a game again... score goals, and to beat the Sharks again they'll need a repeat.

UFC
Patrick Cote +103 vs Alan Belcher 
I like Cote in this fight, although he has been out since his fight with Anderson Silva he actually looked like he had a good game plan going and was going to give Silva a run for his money.Fighting in his home town should give him the buzz to get past the rung rust. He has also faced tougher competition in my eyes too. On another note, does Belcher get the award for worst tattoo ever??
Parlay alert 
Machida-Koscheck  1u to win 1.04u
Not much value really but i think they both win. for some reason I think Machida takes this one to the ground, it looks like he bulked up. Koscheck has been real quiet He's gonna explode in there take it down and G'n'p his was to GSP    <

probably will add more fights as the day goes

May 7th Recap

MLB   2-1 +1unit
KC/Tex So much for Greinke's run support....Wilson pitched a solid full game.
Atleast TB kept things rolling against lefties


NHL  0-1  -1unit
After  Mark Recchi Tied the game to take it into OT i thought Boston had it,but Little miscommunication  Gange got left alone in front for the tap in....no sweep
Didn't bet on the Vancouver game but i'm convinced Betman wants the original 6 semi final. The Chicago Refhawks were brutal 2 minutes for playing defense they let Byfuglien  do what ever the fuck he wants to in the crease....

May 7th Selections

MLB
KC +112@TEX
Greinke  hasn't been bad this year despite his 0-3 record he took the loses in Boston 4 runs,Minny 2 runs and Tampa bay 1 run.He has gone over 6 innings in 5 of 6 starts just hasn't had the run support. But by the looks of yesterdays game their bats are working. KC is hitting .296 vs left handers (2nd in the league)

TB -1 -126@OAK
TB ML -124 - Added ML play,line came down over night. 4th game in a row TB is seeing a left handed starter, They  are 5-0 in their last 5 games vs. a left-handed starter.12-1 away.these Teams have played twice this year Rays winning both 8-6 and 10-3.Price has been solid only team that kinda roughed him up was KC(.296 vs L) went 9 inning shut out vs Toronto.like the Rays to keep rolling.


NHL
BOS +121@PHI
Going with Boston again. Flyers aren't the Redwings. Road team is 15-7 in the last 22 meetings and the Underdog is 11-5 in the last 16 meetings. Tuukka is just a beast between the pipes. Lucic has been playing good finally got some points should give him more confidence probably more ice time  with Krejci out they also lost D-man Mcquaid last game but should have M.Stuart back in the line up.Philly has only had the lead once in this series and it lasted a whole 2 minutes maybe.

May 6th Recap

MLB 1-0  +1 unit
The Mariners really helped out the Rays batting average versus lefties. Niemann Pitched a nice 7 shut out innings 4 hits  to sweep the M's at Safeco.

NHL 0-1 -1 unit
So........was I on the wrong side of that one or what 7-1. At least it was a quick death, Sharks are probably checking their underwear heading back to San Jose. Momentum Detroit who have a nice winning record in the Shark Tank besides game 1 & 2. If they SJ doesn't punch back hard next game watch out.

1-1 +0.00 units

May 6th Selections

MLB
TB-1 -111@SEA
Taking the Rays to Finish the sweep in Seattle. Third lefty in a row the Rays will be facing(hitting .240), Their offense is  too strong for the M's to match. Seattle is 29th in the league batting average.Rays are 10-2 in Niemanns last 12 starts as a favorite of -110 to -150 their Road record 11-1 and they are 12-2 in their last 14 when their opponent allows 5 runs or more in their previous game.Niemann has been pitching well versus good hitting teams but he's only  1-0 in 5 starts with a 2.76 ERA. he's faced Baltimore(2),Toronto,KC and Boston

NHL
SJ+116@DET
Taking the Sharks again, yeah it would be nice to win the series at home but I don't think the Sharks want to give any momentum back to the Redwings. Beat them when they're down head back to SJ to  rest up. This Chi/Van series winner is going to be beat up.

May 5th Recap

MLB- 1-0  +1 unit
Zito pitched a good game but Florida almost came back. Zito went a little deeper trying to pitch the shut out game but allowed a run in the 8th and left with  the bases loaded Thanks to Romo not Tony they got out of it.Another run in the bottom of the 9th to make you sweat it but they got it done 3-2

NHL- 1-1 0.09 units
Boston Takes the 3-0 series lead dominating the neutral zone and Tuuka Rask holding fort again.Philly took their first lead in the series but didn't last long Bruins tied it up quick then took the lead shortly after.Carcillo was diving all around this game too and got no calls.....
Vancouver game i didn't really like but ended up making a Homer play..bad idea, it was like Game one in Chicago but the other way around. Hawks took the crowd out early Burrows dumb ass penalty killed us when we could have gotten back into game down 3-2.The goals Chicago got weren't nice either 2 own goals by the Nucks and the 3rd Byfuglien goal Luo was pushed into the net.....FUCK! series is getting heated too

2-1 +1.09 units

May 5th Selections

MLB
SF -130@FLA
Barry Zito is4-0, 1.53 ERA, 4-0, 2.35 ERA vs. FLA.The Giants are 15-3 in Zitos last 18 starts during game 2 of a series.Got the Bats to back up their pitching should be another good game.

NHL
Bos +133@Phi
I think Boston gets is done in Philly and go up 3-0 Better Goal tending, couple unlucky goals near the end of periods Tuuka  would want back but Bruins are 5-1 in the last 6 meetings in Philadelphia.I also hope Carcillo gets mashed on for being a Punk bitch and refs give a soft penalty or 2 against the flyers
Chi@Van -125
Taking Vancouver here home record is tops in the NHL 32-8-2-2 and they 15-8 on ones days rest after a loss
could also have Ryan Johnson back which would help our PK which has been solid since the Kings beat up on us.GM Place is going to be Loud! make the mad house look like a Library. 

May 4th Recap

MLB- 3-0-1 +4.03 units
Great night on the Baseball ..Shit great night all around Braves went back to their losing ways, Nat's bats came out again 3 homers.
Ricky Romero had a shaky game but pulled it together and Jays are hitting machines
Shields ripped it up 10 k's in 8 innings, TB is 10-1 on the road now. Mariners have been committing errors like some Mothersuckers and still can't score.
Rockies Bull pen let them down,got the push on a walk off single in the bottom of the 9th Padres have been solid at home.

NHL- 1-0 +1.46 units
Sharks take the 3-0 Lead in the series off a beauty pass from Big Joe Thorton to Patrick Marleau in OT. All thanks to Howards soft ass goal to let the Sharks tie in the 3rd. I wouldn't be surprised to see Detroit try and salvage there playoffs with Old reliable Chris "wasGood" Osgood to see if he has his playoff magic left in him

May 4th Selections

MLB
ATL@WASH +103
3-1 Hernandez .087 ERA vs 0-4 Kawakami 5.48 ERA. Hernandez had been good this season allowing 3 runs or less against the Mets,Colorado, Milwaukee and the Cubs . Atlanta lost 9 in a row before sweeping the Astros at home in their last series, now they are back on the road. siding with slight home dog.ATL are 0-8 in their last 8 games as an underdog.Hernandez turns his luck around vs the braves.
Col@SD -1 +117
Good thing i didn't go out against Ubaldo  "where'd the ball go" Jimenez he's lights out,but i like the Padres here.Rockies Greg Smith is 1-2, 7.33 ERA  and Wade Leblanc is 2-0, 0.52 ERA Both games Leblanc won where shut out victories against the Reds and Brewers.Both teams hit lefties good but pitching favors SD here I think plus the solid 10-3 home record.
TOR -122@CLE
Another lefty for the Tribe not a strong point for them hitting .218 and Ricky Romero has been Quality in his starts this year Bull pen lost him his game against Tampa when he went 7 giving up 2 runs.Jake Westbrook is 0-2, 5.53 ERA and I don't think the jays bats are done quite yet
TB -131@SEA
Rays are 10-1 in their last 11 road games.i think their offense is just too much for Seattle who struggles to score. Shields 2-2, 2.34 ERA vs. SEA his 2 losses against them has been when he dueled Felix and they only lost 1-0 and 2-1. my first 2 unit play this year

NHL
SJ +146@DET
Alot of people will be on Detroit thinking they cant go down 3-0  but the Redwings are an older team that has played alot of hockey the last few years and really pushed near the end of the year to make the playoffs. Too much value to pass up on the Sharks you i think have the more talented depth.Not to mention they killed Detroit in the face off circle.

May 3rd Recap

NHL 1-1 -0.07
Nice that Boston pulled it out with a couple minutes left Lucic finally got one.Greasy game though Briere had a sick goal to end the second. Carcillo is a bitch! second time now he fakes getting hit in the face with a stick and gets the call , then he talks smack calling other dudes bitches Pleeeeease I hope someone knocks the shit outta him next game.
Vancouver....what the fuck happened!!?? 2-0 not even half way through the first and couldn't find the back of the net the rest of the game. They just died out there, on their heels chasing the rest of the game Luo can't bail you out the whole game he.made some huge saves. Could have had the Hawks fucked coming to GM place now they got all the momentum

May 3rd Selections

MLB
I don't really like anything on the the board for today a couple leans but I think I'll wait till tomorrow take the day off of baseball  leaning Phillies,D-backs and Los Padres Jimanez can't win forever and SD is great at home and can hit.


NHL
Vancouver Canucks Over 2.5 -107
The total has been bumped up to 6 for this game, But i like the Canucks to score goals again not the onslaught they did last game (though i wouldn't mind that) There has only been one game these playoffs they failed to score 3.

I'm going to wait and see is the Boston line comes down during the day if so I'll get on the B's

Phi@Bos -140
Line didnt really moove just a cent or 2.I like Boston they aren't going to let a big lead slip twice (if they get up) Rask.Phillies injuries with Gagne and Carter out they are going to have to rely on Briere a little too much and Boston will just beat up on him

May 2nd Recap

MLB  2-0 +2 units
Liriano started off shaky thought it wasn't going to be a good day but he turned it around and back to back homers from Thome and Young heated up the Twinkies bats.
Garland Pitched 7 scoreless innings for the Padres they cruised to a 8-0 victory

NHL 2-1 +0.92 units
Halak has been a beast this playoffs i Blame him for keeping this game Under lol .The Penguins are going to miss Stall more than people think a big body one of the best face off men on the team, penalty killing and a solid fore checker. if Montreal is a big Dog at home how can you not take them crowd will be nuts.After that game i can definitely see Montreal taking this series and if so will have pulled off probably the biggest 2 upsets in (history??) or a long time.
Sharks and Redwings almost pushed the total over in the first period, quite a few iffy penalties but worked out in my favor.Howard played good made some big saves wasn't his fault they lost. Sharks could have been up big came out flying again in the first. Sharks up 2-0 headed to Motor City

May 2nd Selections

MLB
MIN -1 -129@CLE
Liriano has been nasty this year. 3-0 0.93 ERA 0.97 whip in 4 starts.  he has only given up 3 runs this year.He is 3-3, 3.57 ERA vs. CLE Huff is 1-3 4.10 ERA and hasn't been bad against the Twins 2-3 5.86 ERA. Mauer is Out though.
MIL@SD  -104
Backing SD here Garland has been pretty good 2-2, 2.57 ERA.

NHL
MTL@PITT Over 5.5 -114
These NBC day games go over the number like MNF. a couple key injuries on both teams Markov and Stall are out. Over is 13-6-1 in the last 20 meetings.

Det@SJ Over 5.5 +106
Over is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings in San Jose.Over is 6-0-2 in Red Wings last 8 games playing on 2 days rest,Over is 8-2-1 in Red Wings last 11 playoff games as an underdog.Over is 7-1 in Sharks last 8 Sunday games. Marleau should be back in the line up also. If the Wings don't win this game due to poor play on Howard's part wouldn't shock me to see Osgood get a game

Det@SJ -125
I also like the Sharks to win here, I think this is the year these guys can go deep Nabokov vs Howard is where i think this series is settled. yeah if it wasn't for the 3 quick goals sharks probably lose game one, but i like San Jose's size and i think they may actually have the more talented 3-4th lines Nabby look determined.Line opened at -135 ish alot of people on the Red wings
