4 Unit Play. Take Under 8.5 between the Chicago Cubs @ LA Dodgers (Saturday @ 4:10pm est). Its not often that I like two pod's but today I believe we have a chance at cashing at both. Lilly came off the DL and pitched very well in his last start as he pitched 6 shutout innings against the Padres - this extends his streak to 8 of 10 quality starts. He has simply not recieved much run support from the Cubs. Joe Torre mentiond that Haeger undoubtedly deserves another start after his quality performance against the Cardinals at home as he went 7 innings, gave up 5 hits and 3 runs. I look for another quality performance from both pitchers today as they failed to win in their last start. Lilly will look for the elusive win once again as he has continued to pitch well and Haeger will look to stay in the mix with the Dodgers pitching staff for the better as he gets another opportunity to pitch. The Under is 5-1 for the Cubs when the total is set at this margin on the road, the Under is 5-1 for the Dodgers when the total is set at this range and the Under is 5-0 for Lilly when the total is set at this range as well.

4 Unit Play. Take Arizona Diamondbacks -120 over the Houston Astros (Saturday @ 7:05pm est). Scherzer is quite a capable pitcher but he comes off a tough start in Atlanta. He was pitching well until the wheels fell off in one particular inning and a costly throwing error which he made. But, overall, he is a very good bounce-back pitcher. Bear in mind that he only gave up 3 earned runs in Atlanta and of his 10 of starts, only once has he pitched back to back nonquality starts. I look for him to be sharp in his outing at Houston today. The Dbacks weren't able to score a run yesterday as they lost 0-1 but they should see some pitches to hit today. Moehler has been inconsistent of late as he is 0-4 over his last 5 starts and has given up 13 runs in his last 16 innings on 24 hits. I look for the Dbacks to have the edge here and likely pick up the road win. The Diamondbacks are 4-0 when Scherzer is coming off 4 days rest while the Astros are 0-5 in Moehler's last 5 starts.

5 Unit Play. Take Chicago Sky -3 over the Detroit Shock (Saturday @ 8pm est). It seems we are on a nice groove in the wnba. Let's hope it continues and continue to focus. These two teams meet for the second time this year. The first time, the Shock won 64-58 at home but the Sky were 7.5 dogs and they covered the spread. The game went well under as the posted total was 150. The Sky are 13-13 and are looking to secure playoff seating currently. While the Conn Sun are 13-12, Atlanta is 14-11 and Indiana is 19-6. The Sky are also tied with Washington who is 13-13 as well in the East. It seems that Detroit could have packed it in for the season as they have lost their last 3. More importantly, this is a pivotal game for the Sky who come off a loss to Phoenix at home. And, the Sky have yet to lose back to back games during this playoff stretch over their last 8 games where they are 6-2 ATS during that span. I like the Sky coming off a loss, having revenge here in a game that they certainly could use to propel them to 14 wins in the East. This team is the #1 team in the league in 3 point field goals percentage at 41.5% and 3rd in the league in field goal % overall at 44.6. I think this is a good opportunity for us to step out here and pick up 5 units as we have made some solid ground over the past 2 weeks. The Shock are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 against the Eastern Conference and the Sky are 5-1 ATS after a straight up loss.

Good luck,

1 Unit Play. Take Under 38.5 between the New Orleans Saints @ Houston Texans (Saturday @ 8pm est). Although one would think points will come a flurry between these two teams, the total has gone down since its inception. The total opened at 40 and there are a flurry of 38.5 and 39's out there. The Saints won 17-7 over the Bengals as Mark Brunell saw a quite bit of action. And, the Texans 16-10 at Kansas City as Orlovsky saw a good amount of action as well. It is expected that Grossman see some action today and that Brunell and Joey Harrington continue to see some reps. I expect a more tame result in offense from both teams as they have made a focus on defense this year. Its interesting that two of the most potent offenses in the league last year making defense more of a focus this year. Plus, this is a bit of a public fade as well. I believe this game likely stays under the posted total.

1 Unit Play. Take Over 32.5 between the New York Jets @ Baltimore Ravens (Monday @ 8pm est). Although many expect this game to be low scoring, I don't believe so. I think both offenses have the spurt to score here - mainly the Ravens. Remember, the Ravens continue to have success with Flacco as they put up 23 points against the Ravens. Plus, Troy Smith passed for 200 yards in the last game. Similar to the Titans, both quarterbacks having success yields more points. The Jets have some uncertainty with the quarterback rotation as well which I believe the increased competition will yield to more points - primarily between Erik Ainge and Mark Sanchez. I look for the Ravens to put up at least 24 in this effort while the Jets tack on a about two scores. I have this game closing between 37 and 38 points.

Good luck,
