Friday's Action
1000♦ Cleveland Cavaliers

Take Cleveland minus the points tonight in Detroit.

In what is the easiest call of the night I love the Cavaliers as they bury the Pistons tonight in game three of this series. After all given the pair of double digit wins for Cleveland to start this series it is very clear that Detroit just does not match up to the Cavaliers. In fact once you factor in that Cleveland has won the last 5 series meeting, while covering 4 of those 5 games is very clear that Cleveland is just better then Detroit. Well given the plethora of losing number Detroit currently has of 5 straight loses, 0-6 ATS in their last six games and a losing 2-8 ATS in their last 10 overall games I just don’t see any miracle win tonight for the Pistons. Not when Cleveland is playing very well right now by winning and covering 7 of their last 8 games, including winning both games in this series by an average of 15 points per game. Bottom line I see nothing short of a Cleveland blowout tonight as the Cavaliers lay the foundation for a series sweep tonight. Take Cleveland minus the road chalk as they win by double digits once again.

All Cleveland!

200♦ Florida Marlins

Go with the Marlins tonight over the Phillies for a few reasons. First is I like the Marlins returning home where they are a solid 5-1 so far this season. Reason number two throwing tonight for Florida is Johnson who 2-0 with a 2.91 ERA in three starts has been close perfect this season. Meanwhile, for the Phillies it’s hard seeing them winning given their losing 6-8 record and the fact they are going with Myers who carries in a 5 plus ERA into tonight. Even better it’s the Phillies who 5-16 in the last 21 games Myers has against Florida. So sticking with the numbers I say take the Marlins at home tonight as they bounce back with an easy home win after being swept in Pittsburgh last series out.

All Florida!
