Phoenix Suns +4.0 over San Antonio Spurs
Bet .70 Units to win .64 Units
Why .70? Well, I'm 0 - 3 with basketball picks and have lost 1.30 units on it... why not make it an even 2 units? Truth be told, I really think Phoenix has a good chance of winning this game, and could certainly keep it close... but what do I know about hoops?
Atlanta Braves -1.5 over San Diego Padres
Bet 2 Units to win 2 Units
Tim Hudson is back to ace form, and David Wells is... well.. fat. The Padres are a very easy lineup to mow through; Hudson's 8 innings of one earned ball should be more than enough for the Braves to get a few runs off of Wells and cover.
San Fransisco Giants over Colorado Rockies MONEYLINE
Bet 1 Unit to win 1.03 Units
I like Noah Lowry, and besides that, the Giants have been swinging some hot bats. Aaron Cook isn't bad, but at moneyline, I think the Giants are definitely the play here.
Detroit Tigers -1.5 over Seattle Mariners
Bet 4 Units to win 3.08 Units
One of those plays that you almost know you are going to lose on principal alone, but you absolutely have to bet heavy. Jeff Weaver; with all of his 0 - 5 record and 15.35 ERA; going against Justin Verlander, who's got a much more respectable 2 - 1 record and a 2.75 ERA. I respect the Mariners this season, but come on... this one's just too good to be true.
Buffalo Sabres over Ottawa Senators MONEYLINE
Bet 1 Unit to win .71 Units
Should be a great series and should go 7 games, but I'll try and break out of my hockey slump by picking the home team and the favorite; moneyline for a change instead of begging for that elusive 2 goal victory.
Ottawa Senators @ Buffalo Sabres OVER 5.5 goals
Bet 1 Unit to win .87 Units
These playoffs have been all about defense... but put two offensive minded teams together and watch the fireworks fly. There should be scoring chances galore, and the final score should definitely be in the 4 - 3 range.
Good luck!
Results: 3.95 Units Won (199.95 Units)
