=============================================================
KC Royals @ NY Yankees
Selection: NY Yankees – 1.5 Run Line (-110 or 1.90) — L, 3:4
V Mazzaro & A Burnett Must Start
Single Dime Pick

Yes, I’m playing on the NEW YORK YANKEES again. As a team, the Royals have a 3.51 ERA at home but an awful 5.93 mark on the road way. The Royals are 74-147 all time in the Bronx including 2-8 their last nine here. They were 1-3 here last season with the Yankees holding a 36-19 combined edge in scoring. Mazzaro didn’t pitch very well this season. I don’t expect him to make a miracle tonight and fully expect the Yankees to continue their longstanding dominance in the series.

MLB TUE MAY 10 – KC Royals @ NY Yankees

KC Royals  @ NY Yankees

Selection: NY Yankees – 1.5 Run Line

K Davies & F Garcia Must Start

Single Dime Bet

Garcia, who allowed 8 earned runs in 25 innings this season, was much more consistent than Davies. The Yankees didn’t give him enough run support though and he is only 1-2 but has a respectable 2.63 ERA.

Garcia is 1.29 & 2.00 ERA in last 2 home starts and a good 1.321 WHIP in 2 home starts. I expect Garcia to be more motivated to deliver another strong performance and get enough run support from Yankees bats. Davies is hopeless when pitching on road. Yankees like facing him and will hit him hard today.

My numbers have Yankees winning by 3+ runs.

John

Results: W, NY Yankees 3:1 KC Royals

NBA MON MAY 9TH – MIA Heat @ BOS Celtics

MIA Heat @ BOS CelticsSelection: MIA Heat + 0.5 ( Spread ) OR PK

Just a short write ups for this game.

The Heat is 2-1 with the next game playing tonight in Boston. The Heat want to win this one so they could complete the series at home. This is the series the Heat have been waiting for as the team LeBron could never get past was Boston….and the Wade’s Heat was sweep by Boston in last season. Both Super Stars want to revenge this time. The Celtics won their 1st game against the Heat in their home court but it will be tough to duplicate their performance here in Game four as their starts Rondo, Garnett and Paul looked exhausted & struggled in fourth quarter in game 3 and Rondo was struggling against the Heat’s intensive defence. The Heat has the defence formula for the Celtics….Rondo and Garnett won’t get to the paint easily and defensively they won’t be able to stop Bosh, Wade and Lebron. The Heat are the younger and better team and should regain momentum in game 4, they have advantage in both sides of the ball and with a win tonight, they are one game closer to complete this series and their revenge mission. My numbers have Miami winning by 6-8 points.

NBA FRI MAY 6 – LA Lakers @ Dallas Mavericks

First day come back…there is no time to write today so instead I’m just going to list my favorite picks below. I really like today’s Dallas – 2.5.

CF=2

DAL Mavericks – 2.5 ( Spread ) vs. LA Lakers

Reference. 1.) Atest Ron Artest of the Los Angeles Lakers has been suspended one game without pay for swinging his arm and striking the face of the Dallas Mavericks’ J.J. Barea, it was announced today by Stu Jackson, NBA Executive Vice President, Basketball Operations. Artest’s contact has also been classified by the NBA as a Flagrant Foul Two. The incident occurred with 24.4 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter of the Mavericks’ 93-81 victory over the Lakers at Staples Center on May 4. Artest will serve his suspension tomorrow when the Lakers visit the Mavericks at American Airlines Center for Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

2.) Gasol Pau’s Playoff Struggles Result of Girlfriend Breakup From:http://www.terezowens.com/paus-playoff-struggles-result-of-girlfriend-breakup/ We often don’t think athletes personal lives spill over into their work, but it happens just as often as regular folk…Case in point, Lakers Forward Pau Gasol…He’s been playing average at best the last few weeks, and my Lakers source is telling me Pau is in the middle of a bad break up with his girlfriend Silvia Lopez Castro…The Lakers fans have noticed Pau’s lack of energy and hustle…He was booed by the Staples Center crowd for most of the second half last night…My source goes on to say Pau is feeling seriously bad over Silvia dumping him…He’s not acting like himself and his teammates can see it on the court…It’s gotta sting getting dumped Pau, but getting swept will hurt a lot more. -TO

3.) Dallas Year Team G GS MPG FG% 3P% FT% OFF DEF RPG APG SPG BPG TO PF PPG 08-09 DAL 81 81 37.7 0.479 0.359 0.890 1.1 7.3 8.4 2.4 0.8 0.8 1.94 2.17 25.9 09-10 DAL 81 80 37.5 0.481 0.421 0.915 1.0 6.7 7.7 2.7 0.9 1.0 1.84 2.57 25.0 10-11 DAL 73 73 34.3 0.517 0.393 0.892 0.7 6.3 7.0 2.6 0.5 0.6 1.88 2.36 23.0 Game 2 preview: Carlisle wants Mavericks to use the force “The interesting thing about this series is its two teams that play out of flow, Carlisle said. “There isnt a lot of play-calling going on. Things happen with some real randomness. We just have to recognize what theyre trying to do offensively, meet it with force, be ready with help and be ready when the balls in the air to go get it because rebounding in this series at the end of the day is going to go a long way toward determining the outcome.
