4* Major NL East Game of the Month on NY Mets -105 After taking Game 1 of this series, the Mets lost a close 1 run game in extra innings Wednesday. New York really should have came out on top as it stranded 16 base runners. I'll back the Mets in this Game 3 rubber match tonight as they have had Moyer's number. Moyer is 0-1 with a 13.50 ERA in two starts versus the Mets this season. Redding has struggled this season for the Mets, but he is 5-3 with a 3.29 ERA in 11 starts against the Phillies. He looked good his last time out and I expect him to build on that here. The Phillies are 0-5 in Moyer's last 5 starts as a road underdog. The Mets are 12-4 in their last 16 home games, 16-5 in their last 21 games as a favorite, 12-2 in their last 14 games as a home favorite, and 4-0 in their last 4 games as a home favorite of -110 to -150. The Phillies are only 1-4 in the last 5 meetings in New York. Smart money goes on the Mets

5* NBA Finals Gm 4 *MONSTER BEST BET*on Lakers +2.5
The Magic shot an NBA Finals record 63% from the floor in Game 3 and still did not cover the spread. If Kobe was his normal self, not shooting 5 of 10 from the free throw line and living up to his title as the games best closer, the Lakers would have won Game 3 despite Orlando's shooting performance. Here are two things I know: the Magic won't shoot as well in Game 4 and Kobe will be better. The Lakers are a perfect 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games following a SU loss. The Lakers are 10-2 ATS as an underdog this season and the underdog is 8-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings. I like LA outright in Game 4 so I'll gladly take the insurance points.
