At 8:05 pm, our selection is on the Detroit Pistons plus the points over Cleveland, as the Cavs fall into a nasty 0-19 ATS system of mine.
At 7:05pm our selection is on the Baltimore Orioles over the Chicago White Sox.
At 7:05pm our selection is on the Texas Rangers and Toronto Blue Jays 'under' the total.
At 10 pm, our selection is on the Portland Trail Blazers minus the points over Houston, as the Blazers fall into 51-12, 30-3, 21-9, 26-6, 16-1, 32-7 and 19-3 ATS systems of mine. Let's take a look at our 32-7 ATS angle. It plays on home teams off a home game in which they failed to cover by 25+ points, if they're matched up against a foe off exactly one win. In its last game, the Trail Blazers were embarassed by Houston 107-81 at home as a 6-point favorite, so the Blazers failed to cover by 32 points. That loss also snapped a six-game win streak by the Blazers, which sets up our 26-6 ATS system. That angle just won last night on the Spurs, and plays on home teams in the post-season off exactly 1 SU/ATS home loss, who have a win percentage between .495 and .690, and are NOT getting 4+ points. Finally, Portland also falls into a sweet 80% ATS system of mine which simply plays on home teams off a 24-point (or worse) home playoff loss. NBA Game of the Year on the Trail Blazers. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. And don't miss my other big NBA Winner tonight out of a 19-0 ATS system, or my baseball plays.
Kansas City Royals at Cleveland Indians
Prediction: Under
At 7:05pm our member selection is on the Kansas City Royals and Cleveland Indians 'under' the total. Two of the lightest-hitting teams in baseball face off in Cleveland and the pitching matchup in this one is rather interesting. Sidney Ponson (yes, THAT Sidney Ponson) is now with the Royals (his seventh Major League team) and he's actually pitched pretty well in his two starts so far this season. He faced Cleveland in his second and latest start less than a week ago and turned in a quality outing, giving up only two earned runs in six innings. Everytime we thought we'd seen the last of Ponson, he pops up on somebody's roster and more often than not, he makes a positive contribution at some point in the season. Indians' young lefthander Aaron Laffey was frustrated that he didn't get the last spot in the rotation as the team broke spring training, but an early injury to #5 starter Scott Lewis has opened the door for Laffey, and the southpaw has already taken advantage, ironically in the same game that featured Ponson last Wednesday. Laffey had almost an identical line to Ponson's and, although he got a no-decision in that one, the Tribe have to be pretty happy with the way he performed. Take the 'under'.
