Picks of the Day

Total: 200 Units

Houston Astros @ Philadelphia UNDER 8 runs
Bet 1.25 Units to win 1 Unit

When Roy Oswalt takes the mound, the team he's pitching against doesn't score too many runs... usually in the 0 - 3 range. Meanwhile, the Astros' offense has looked dreadful this year, and against Brett Myers, they too should be in the 0 - 3 range. This game doesn't hit 8 runs.

Milwaukee Brewers -1.5 over St. Louis Cardinals
Bet 1 Unit to win 1.40 Unit

Ben Sheets VS. Anthony Reyes. Reyes is a solid young arm, but Sheets is a legitimate ace, and I think he'll have a strong game tonight and take care of the Cards.

Arizona Diamondbacks -1.5 over Colorado Rockies
Bet 2 Units to win 2.20 Units

I love this play. Cy Young winner Brandon Webb goes up against Josh Fogg and an inferior team IN ARIZONA. D-Backs cruise to a 5 - 1 victory in this one.

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim over Boston Red Sox MONEY LINE
Bet 1 Unit to win 1.01 Units

Ace John Lackey going against mediocre and ancient Tim Wakefield. I like my chances with the Halos.

Toronto Blue Jays -1.5 over Detroit Tigers
Bet 1 Unit to win 1.45 Units

The Tigers have been swinging ice cold bats to start the year off, and "The Doc" Roy Halladay won't be the cure for them. Toronto should take care of business if they can get some runs off of Bonderman.

Nashville Predators -1.5 over San Jose Sharks
Bet 1 Unit to win 2 Units

While I still like the Sharks in this series, Nashville does NOT want to head to the Shark tank being behind in the series two games to none. They use the home crowd and the back-against-the-wall mentality and grab a victory tonight. By two goals? That's the gamble.

Dallas Stars over Vancouver Canucks MONEY LINE
Bet 1 Unit to win 1 Unit

I'll stick by my Dallas-to-win the series pick, and since I don't have to give up a goal for spread in this one, I'll take my chances on Dallas in game 2.

Minnesota Wild @ Anaheim Ducks OVER 5 goals
Bet 1 Unit to win 1 Unit

It is a risky bet, but after both teams played a conservative, defensive minded game in game one, I expect both teams to take a few more chances tonight and open up the ice a little. Besides, if the game is ever tied at 2 - 2, worst you do is push on this wager.

LOTS of bets today. Good luck and happy gambling!
