All Sports Info-Your 1st stop!!
Here is some info that i gathered for all to ponder on as i mentioned that i would do for some of the forum members. Like i mentioned before,some of these recommended plays will counter each other (opposite of), & it is to you rather to follow or fade some of these plays!!!!
I may add on as the plays come my way....
Detroit @ Seattle
Justin Verlander is in good form as the right-hander has allowed just 1 earned run over his past two games. He is coming off a 4 hit shutout of Oakland in his last start.
Verlander is backed by a good bullpen and will be facing a Mariners lineup that has scored just 1 run in each of their past two games.
Fister has pitched well at home with an ERA of 1.66 and a WHIP of 0.65 at home in a great pitchers ballpark. With two good pitchers on the hill play this one under.
recommends: under 6 ½ runs.
Los Angeles Lakers @ Phoenix Suns
The Pick: Over 221
The Reason: There have been plenty of points scored in this series with each team reaching triple digits in each game. With the average total in the series being 233 points, expect this one to go over the number.
The Game: Detroit Tigers @ Seattle Mariners
The Pick: Under 7 (now @ 6.5)
The Reason: With the Mariners being dead last in the American League in runs scored, expect them to have difficulty against Justin Verlander who has been pitching lights out in the month of May.
Overall Record: (374-273-9) - Winning Percentage (0.55)
http://tv.donbest.com/mlb/mlb-nationals-vs-giants-1626/ (Washington @ San Fransisco)
The Suns try to tie the series at 2-2. The Lakers will have to get back to their "pound the ball inside" mentality in Game 4.

LA Lakers @ Phoenix
The Lakers need more of a balanced effort from their other big men besides Gasol to make it easier for him to score down low and to make it easier for the perimeter players. Still, the Lakers had an opportunity late in the game to win it but the Suns made the big plays down the stretch. The Suns got only 15 points total from their bench. They need to get more production from Jared Dudley, Channing Frye, Leandro Barbosa and Goran Dragic. The four of them combined to shoot 2-of-19 from the field and 0-for-11 on 3-pointers in Game 3.
The Lakers are 4-1 ATS in their last five games as a favorite. The Suns are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games as an underdog. The favorite is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings between these teams and the home team is 8-1 ATS in the last nine meetings between these teams. The over is 4-1 in the last five meetings. The Lakers are 5-2 ATS in their last seven meetings with the Suns.
Pick: I like the Suns despite the line steaming the other way!
LA Lakers @ Phoenix
The Lakers are shooting at extremely high percentages in this series. The Suns are having their issues defending the length and size of LA. I expect Phil Jackson to draw up adjustments to exploit the Phoenix zone.
The Suns get a lift in front of their home crowd and produced 118 points in game 3. The pace will continue to be fast and furious tonight. All three games have gone over the total. So does game 4.
Bet LA Lakers and Phoenix Suns over 221 points
LA Lakers VS Phoenix Suns
The Phoenix Suns stepped up their intensity and brought it to the Lakers on both sides of the floor in Game 3, assuring at least five games against the favorites out West. Most impressive was the Suns turnovers, just 7 on the night, which really limited the Lakers’ easy buckets. I don’t even think the Suns played nearly as well as they can offensively – aside from Amare doing work attacking the hoop against those Lakers’ bigs, Phoenix missed a lot of open and easy shots, especially in the first half. I think they can play a lot better. But will they?
LA Lakers (+1) @ Phoenix Suns
I have to take the Lakers, as much as I hate it. I’d love to be wrong here, love to see the Lakers get pummeled big time and head back to LA with their collective tails between their legs – but I don’t see it happening. LA was too good at defending that pick and roll in Game’s 1 and 2, and too dominate down low.
I don’t see Brook Lopez going off for 20 points on 8 of 10 shooting, and I don’t seem they continuing to be stingy with the ball and get anywhere close to just 7 turnovers again. If they don’t sit right around double that, I’ll be stunned.
The Lakers have always done a good job of stepping up their game after a tough loss (even though that didn’t quite happen against Oklahoma). They seem to figure things out pretty well, and you know they have to attack the post. Kobe continues to kill the Suns, averaging over 30 points a game in this series – but it will be Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom beating up on the Suns’ front court if LA wants to walk out of Phoenix up 3-1. I think it’s probably – and while I’ll be rooting against my bet, the smart money is on the Lakers.
Los Angeles Dodgers (25-19) – Clayton Kershaw, at Chicago Cubs (21-24)
Kershaw had perhaps his worst outing as a Dodger on May 4th versus the Brewers (1.1 IP, 5 H, 2 BB, 7 R), but the lefty has done a complete 180-degree return to form with three great outings since that dud. He’s a perfect 3-0 in those outings with only 12 hits and seven walks in 22 innings (0.85 WHIP), throwing an 8-inning shutout and two 7-inning one-run outings.
Kershaw has never faced the Cubs, and has never pitched in Wrigley Field either.
Dempster has fallen hard since his breakout year in 2008. This year the Cubs are just 2-7 in his nine starts, including an 0-5 mark his last five turns through the rotation. However, four of those five losses were by one run as his run support has been the main culprit (3.9 AF, 3.6 AA).
Maybe facing the Dodgers is what Dempster needs to get off the schnid, since he is 6-3 in 11 lifetime starts against the boys from L.A. and he has very good splits including a 2.52 ERA, a .300 on-base allowed and a sub-.700 OPS at .675. He went 2-0 last year, winning a 3-1 decision over Chad Billingsley in Los Angeles and a 7-0 victory over Eric Stults at Wrigley in late May.
Dempster is also a notoriously better pitcher at home in Wrigley, with a winning percentage at home (.596) much higher than he has on the road (.383).
The Cubs split the four games they had head-to-head with LA at Wrigley last season 2-2, but they also only won three of five at home in 2008, so Wrigley might not be such of a home field advantage in this series.
The under has a solid betting trend going, cashing in seven of the last 10 overall and in three of the four games in Chicago last season.
Pick: I like the Dodgers to win tonight
Boston @ Tampa Bay
MLB Insider Tip: Tampa Bay holds a 4-1 season series advantage over Boston heading into tonight’s baseball betting battle, but Boston looks to be in a groove right now playing very confidently after holding up its end of the bargain in its previous three series’ against the Yankees, Twins, and Phillies.
Lester’s tossing darts right now, and though the Rays are an impressive 15-4 (+$920) against lefties this season, they’re batting just .236 against them on the year and .231 against them in their own house. They also trounced him back on April 18th – redemption time!
Boston’s yet to drop a game on artificial turf this season (4-0, +$420), and they’re a $$$-making 6-1 against the L/7 +.500 opponents it’s faced.
My MLB predictions for Game 2 of this series have the Red Sox coming out on top with a chance of returning the road sweep favor to Tampa Bay on Wednesday.
My MLB Prediction: Boston Red Sox (Lester)
Texas Rangers (25-20) vs. Kansas City Royals (18-27)
Tuesday, May 25th --- Kauffman Stadium --- 8:10pm EST
MLB Betting Lines:
TEX - Rich Harden (R) -1.5 +105 -145 O 9.5 -120
KC – Gil Meche (R) +1.5 -125 +125 U 9.5 EV
Countering for the Rangers will be battle tested Rich Harden, who has gone 2-1 SU in 9 starts. Though he was lit up by the Orioles in his last start, allowing 8 hits and 2 runs, the Rangers’ defense played well enough to protect him. On the season, Harden has allowed 41 hits and 25 runs in 43.2 innings over 9 games. The Rangers are 6-3 SU when Harden gets the call to action.
Where To Watch: FSH, FSKC
The offense for Texas has been a huge question mark on the road, ranking just 10th in the American League with only 3.8 runs per game. That won’t really matter against Meche and the woeful Royals. The Rangers have been in a slump on the road, but can easily turn the tide of MLB betting back in their favor. I don’t expect the Royals to break the five game losing streak they hold when playing Texas. I fully expect the Rangers to snap their five game losing skid on the road.
