all looks good, in the opening game, the home teams should have a strong showing,
with ATL @ Orl, you may also want to consider under 179.5 excellent chance as a low scoring game.
i'll leave it to you with the betting units.
good luck

______________________________
Atlanta at Orlando - Playoff Game 1
A tough physical fitness match up is expected, result in a low % FG attempt, both teams will go with a half court basketball; hi-low setup for mid range shots, utilise their low post skills & go to free-threw line fouls which could be a game decider. Tough pick & roll, off the screen defense make difficult for shots to go in. Orlando will go to Howard for his dominated double-double & Hedo will run point forward in the post for key plays, while JRich will camp in the wing for outbound 3's and mid range.

Take Total Under 179.5 Points

Orlando will win at home with a slim margin 5 to 7 points.
They are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 home games. Given no significant changes to their roster recently, one can expect this number to hold.

Play Orlando to win

______________________________
Philadelphia at Miami - Playoff Game 1
The heats is no longer the pre-season fav to win it all & they're 2nd only to the Lakers now, but stars power will shine here at home in this game. Expect a big game from Bron and Wade, both will take it to the centre stage and impose their wills, the sixers will pick their poison, play a tough D forcing these two to take tough shots but the balls will keep going in no matter what. Look for the heats to finish strong in transition baskets and make 3 points plays in the post.

the dynamic duo Bron & Wade = 70 points + 17 reb + 15 assists + 5 block + 6 turns over + 8 steals.


Take Miami -10.5

______________________________
Portland at Dallas - Playoff Game 1
An upset is in the making or at least a very close game here, Portland has been played it low till now, not only their key starters are healthy & ready for this series, but additional of Wallace the last minute traded is the key piece.

As solid the Mav's front line appear from their pool of talent, but Portland will edge them out on rebounding category and this is their weakest link & their demise.

Dirk will be neutralized/cancel out by Aldridge. Roy is leading the attack & look to take one home court advantage off from Dallas.

Portland +4.5

[kobstopa]

MLB
______________________________
Twins at Tampa Bay Rays
After a slump beginning the season, Rays has momentum at home, just a good timing for them that the Twins had a bad history of playing here in previous seasons.

Starting Pitchers

Minnesota: Baker (0-2, 6.55 ERA)
Tampa Bay: Niemann (0-2, 8.31 ERA)

Head to Head:
Under is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings in Tampa Bay.

San Diego: Latos (0-1, 4.50 ERA)
Houston: Figueroa (0-2, 10.61 ERA)

______________________________
Indiana at Chicago
Adjustment is being made on the Bulls defensive end. They have realized now that they were lucky to have won last game. It was a loose effort. Indiana too realize they had a chance to steal one from the Bulls, but they need to play a better defense, go aggressive with transition & attack the basket before the Bulls can get back and set the wall, and need to make a big adjustment coming to this game, they need to have a good lock in on Rose, force tough shots & use offensive fouls to take him out of the game. This had been done before and the Pacer has key player for this purpose.

Take total Under 191.5
Indiana +12.5
______________________________
Philadelphia at Miami
we all understand that playoff games are very different to regular season games, but yet surprised at how it turned out. Underdog teams had fought hard to keep their game close & hope for the last basket go their way for a win & take control home court advantage.

We can expect the same roller coaster ride to the end.

Philly +9.5

Take total Under 189.5


MLB

Boston -1.5
