Rook's picks for Thursday

[Chado1]

BASEBALL

Colorado +140 over Philly--Two rookies on the hump today, and with the pressure clearly off the Rockies as they got the split they needed, I think Kendrick gets into some trouble here and presses. The value is CLEARLY on the Rockies here as they are the hottest team in baseball.

Yankees/Cleveland under 8.5--Aces go to the hill tonight as all three game one's yesterday went under the total. Lets see if the trend continues. Yankees hit lefties hard, but they haven't faced CC in over 2 years.

Cubs -130 over Arizona--This one I think the odds makers got right. Ted Lilly is lights out after a Zambrano loss. There is no bigger stage for him to show that then tonight. Soriano, Jones, Lee, Ramierez and Floyd will not go 1-18 tonight as they did last night. In fact Floyd will probably not start, as Murton will more then likely get the nod vs Davis. Cubs have pretty good stats vs Davis as Theriot is 4-6, Murton is hitting .400, Soriano .357, Kendall .313, and both Lee and Ramierez have 2 home runs vs the south paw. On the other side, no one but Clark and Byrnes have more then 10 at bats vs Lilly.


NHL
Toronto +150 over Ottawa -- home and home for these two as Ottawa won in OT last night, these teams have split the last two home and home they've played. Like Toronto in this spot.

New Jersey/Tampa under 5.5 -- Last 8 of 10 games between these two have gone under the total.

Colorado/Nashville over 5.5 -- Colorado already with a game under their belt and Nashville in their home opener. Good trends favor the over here.

St Louis/Phoenix over 5.5 -- 7 of last 9 have gone over.



Will have the College game up a bit later.

Good luck to all that follow,
Rook

UEFA CUP SOCCER
Hamburg/Litex Lovetch over 2.5 (-150)
Ajax Amsterdam/Dynamo Zagreb over 2.5 (-150)
Galataray/FC Sion over 3 (+100)
AZ Alkmaar/P Ferreira over 2.5 (+112)

Self Gloss alert....

1st game is a winner in the 52nd minute. Ajax game just started and the other two will start within an hour.

Good start to the day though.

I got Galatsary over 2.5 for -167 (is what my book had) instead of 3.0....

Nope, Galaga. You are the little rocketship at the bottom of the screen. Shooting those little aliens that come in from the top of the screen.
