Friday's Double Play

Bettors are going to find something to like in baseball on Friday when there are 15 games on the slate to choose from. Let’s take a look at a pair of tilts in the American League that will whet everyone’s appetite.

Yankees at Rays – 7:10 p.m. EDT

New York (2-1, +153) opened its title offense with an impressive series win over the hated Red Sox. And in yet another case of the rich getting richer, I give you the success of Curtis Granderson. The former Tiger ripped up Boston pitching to the tune of a .333 batting average and a pair of home runs, including a 10th inning blast that led them to a 3-1 win.

Javier Vazquez will get the ball for the Yankees on Friday night. The right-hander is entering his second tour with the Yanks after a 15-10 record and 2.87 earned run average for Atlanta last season. Vazquez has had a decent results against the Rays in the past with a 5-4 mark and an ERA of 4.36 in 12 career starts. And he was very effective on the road last year for the Braves, going 10-2 in 16 starts.

Tampa Bay (2-0, +200) has opened the year with a pair of nice wins against the Orioles. In their 4-3 win on Wednesday night, the Rays got eight innings of four-hit ball from Matt Garza. And they also saw Rafael Soriano pick up his first save of the season to go along with the win he picked up on Tuesday.

The Rays will be looking for big things out of David Price this season. The former top pick was only 10-7 with a 4.42 ERA in his first season as a true starter for Tampa Bay. Price was definitely a sound choice to back at Tropicana Field, evidenced by a 8-3 mark with a 2.93 ERA.

Most betting shops have installed Tampa Bay as a $1.05 home “chalk” (risk $105 to win $100)with a total of nine. You’re not getting very much value in taking the Yankees as underdogs here at minus-102 on the money line.

New York controlled last year’s series with an 11-7 record, while seeing the ‘under’ go 10-8 in those tests.

Before everyone starts handing this game to the Yankees, keep in mind that Tampa Bay is 43-20 as a home favorite against AL East foes over the last two seasons.

Twins at White Sox – 8:10 p.m. EDT

As of Thursday afternoon, the White Sox have been installed as $1.35 home favorites with a total of nine. Bettors wanting to play on Minnesota (2-1, +146) can expect a plus-115 return.

The Twins have been lively at the plate so far this season as they rank third in the AL with 12 runs scored and a .235 batting average. Justin Morneau is hitting .400 with two homers and three RBI. Joe Mauer is has a pair of RBI as well, but just three hits to his name at the present.

Minnesota will be expecting Francisco Liriano to return to his 2006 form. Last year was a lousy run for Liriano, going 5-13 with a pudgy 5.80 ERA.

Chicago (1-1, -48) took one on the chin with Jake Peavy on the hill in a 5-3 setback on Wednesday against the Indians as a $1.50 home favorite. He actually held a 3-0 advantage before giving it all up in the fourth inning. Peavy pitched five innings, giving up seven hits and three earned runs for no decision. Paul Konerko did launch his second straight game.

John Danks will get the starting nod here for the White Sox. That might not be a good thing since he was just 5-7 with a 4.48 ERA at home last season.

The Twins controlled this head-to-head matchup last season with a 12-6 mark. The ‘under’ went 10-8 in those battles. Minnesota is only 5-4 at U.S. Cellular Field last season, but they’ve won four straight in the Windy City.

Friday Tips

The final Friday night of the NBA regular season is loaded with 13 games to wager on, but only a handful of contests have playoff seeding implications. The Western Conference is still jumbled up from spots 2-8 with plenty of combinations that can alter each team's fate in the playoffs. The Thunder looks to bounce back after consecutive tough division losses, while the Mavs try to knock off the Blazers for the first time in four tries. We'll start in the Eastern Conference as the Raptors look to stave off the Bulls for the final playoff spot with Toronto heading to Atlanta.

Raptors (38-40 SU, 36-42 ATS) at Hawks (49-29 SU, 45-33 ATS)

Toronto continues to play without leading scorer Chris Bosh, who suffered facial fractures following a stray elbow in Tuesday's loss at Cleveland. The absence of Bosh this season has proved detrimental to this Raptors' squad, as they travel to Atlanta to battle the Hawks.

Joe Johnson will likely return to the Atlanta lineup after missing the last three games with a sprained right thumb. The Hawks hurt themselves with consecutive road losses at Charlotte and Detroit, falling into a tie for the third seed with the Celtics at 49-29. Despite the fact Atlanta swept the season series from Boston, the Celtics would capture the third seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs in the event if both teams are tied due to Boston winning its division.

The Raptors have obviously struggled with Bosh out this season, but the ATS numbers are scary. Toronto is 3-5 SU and just 1-7 ATS without Bosh, including an 0-4 SU/ATS mark as an underdog. The defense has been a problem all season for the Raps, but the last four games have blown up those numbers. Toronto has allowed at least 113 points in this span, but its lack of defense has helped 'over' bettors cash by hitting in five of the last six games.

The Hawks are 5-2 ATS the previous seven at home, including wins over the Magic, Lakers, and Spurs. Atlanta has covered all three meetings this season, while going 2-1 SU. The Hawks compiled one of the highest-scoring games by dropping 146 points on the Raptors on December 2. Toronto's lone win in the series came on St. Patrick's Day, 106-105, but Atlanta cashed as three-point road underdogs.

Suns (51-27 SU, 45-32-1 ATS) at Thunder (48-30 SU, 46-32 ATS)

Oklahoma City lost some major ground for a higher seed in the Western race after two tough setbacks to Utah and Denver. The Thunder still has an opportunity to move up with a strong finish, but the road doesn't get easier when the Suns invade the Ford Center. Phoenix has won 10 of 11 after knocking off San Antonio, but the Suns are fighting tooth-and-nail to get home-court advantage in the first round.

Alvin Gentry's squad is 11-4 ATS on the road since January 31, including a 6-2 ATS mark when receiving points away the Valley. However, Phoenix is playing in its seventh different city since March 28. The Suns' offense has topped the 100-point plateau in 10 of the last 12 games, but Phoenix hasn't beaten a team over .500 on the road in this span. In fact, the last above .500 club that the Suns picked up a win on the highway against was over the Thunder back on February 23 with a 104-102 triumph.

Oklahoma City has rebounded nicely at home off a home defeat, going 6-1 SU/ATS in that role this season. The Thunder owns a solid 13-4 ATS mark coming off a non-cover at the Ford Center, as Scott Brooks' team has does a great job of helping OKC backers off an ATS loss. The 98-94 defeat to the Nuggets on Wednesday halted a five-game 'over' streak for the Thunder, as well as five consecutive outings with at least 100 points scored.

The late February two-point victory by the Suns was very much a back-and-forth affair as both teams owned double-digit leads at one point. OKC even rallied back from a 15-point deficit to pull ahead in the second half, but the Thunder shot just 44% from the floor to fall short. Kevin Durant lit up the Suns in a 117-113 victory on December 23 in the Valley with a 38-point effort. The Thunder covered easily as 8 ½-point 'dogs as the Suns' biggest lead was only three points.

Mavericks (51-27 SU, 33-44-1 ATS) at Blazers (48-30 SU, 42-34-2 ATS)

Dallas is creeping closer towards the second seed in the West, but the Mavs would like to avoid the Blazers at all costs in the postseason. Portland is 3-0 against Dallas as the Blazers are tied with San Antonio and Oklahoma City for the sixth spot.

The Mavs ended a two-game skid with a 110-84 thrashing of the Grizzlies on Wednesday. Dallas is just 6-5 since a 13-game winning streak after the All-Star Break, but the Mavs are 4-1 ATS the last five as a road underdog. The lone loss came at the Rose Garden on March 25 as the Mavs fell to Portland, 101-89 as 3 ½-point underdogs.

The Blazers are riding a nice hot streak, winning 16 of 20, including six straight at home. Portland won the final two games of a three-game trip with victories over the Kings and Clippers, but fell at Denver as five-point underdogs. Following a stretch of high-scoring contests, Portland has been held below 100 points in four of the last five games. However, Nate McMillan's club has limited opponents to below 90 points four times in the previous five games.

Portland stole a pair of games in Dallas by a combined six points, including a 114-112 overtime thriller on January 30. The Blazers pulled out that victory without Brandon Roy, but Andre Miller scored a career-high 52 points to help Portland cash as 8 ½-point 'dogs. The Mavs were held to 35 points in the second half of the 12-point setback at Portland in late March, as the Blazers nailed 50% of their shots from the floor.

Friday's Game of the Day

Phoenix Suns at Oklahoma City Thunder

Playoff push begins
Right now there is a VERY tight race in the West for the second overall spot and home court advantage for the teams seeded 1 through 4. The Lakers are locked into the #1 spot but Dallas, Denver, Utah, Phoenix, San Antonio and Oklahoma City are all fighting for the 4th seed or better.

The good news for Oklahoma City is they are in the postseason. The bad news is they sit in the 8th overall spot and would have to face the Lakers in the first round. With that said they are currently tied with Portland and San Antonio in the standings and could move up as they get the Suns at home and also face the Blazers next week.

Suns on the rise

The Suns got a HUGE 112-101 win the other night over San Antonio which moved them into a tie for the second best record in the West with Dallas and Denver. However they are actually the 4th seed right now because Dallas and Denver are division leaders.

In their win over the Spurs the Suns survived a close game throughout but finished strong and put the Spurs out of their misery in the fourth quarter. After a timeout, the Suns lineup of four subs and Grant Hill put away a Spurs team that had played at Sacramento a night earlier and had to bring Tony Parker off the bench in his second game back from a broken finger. The Suns, coming off three days rest, went on a 19-7 run out of that fourth-quarter timeout, starting with a Jared Dudley 3-pointer and ending with two Goran Dragic steals that led to his 3-point dunk play and a Hill slam for a 109-92 lead with 3:58 to go.

"JD (Dudley) did a really good job on limiting (Manu) Ginobili and we tried to limit (Duncan's) touches as much as we could," Suns coach Alvin Gentry said. "We tried to be as active as we can and we tried to change it up as much as we could."

"It was pretty physical both ways," forward Louis Amundson said. "That's going to be playoff basketball for us. We've got to get ready for that intensity."

The Suns had won 10 straight games prior to losing to the Bucks in Milwaukee on Sunday and after Thursday's win now stand 11-1 SU their last 12 games overall. Only one of those ten ‘W’s’ came by less than 6 points. The Suns have been outstanding on the road lately having won 12 of their last fifteen away but a closer look tells the real story as just four of those wins came against teams with a .500 or better record.

Stormy weather in Oklahoma City

On Tuesday night they were 'jobbed' by officials on a last-second call and should have won a critical game in Utah as Durant (90% free throw shooter) was fouled on the last shot of the game but a call was never made. The Thunder then lost a heartbreaker on Thursday to the Nuggets 98-94 which pushed them to the 8th overall spot in the West and 3 games behind the 4th seed Suns.

Oklahoma City led by 13-points with just 7:13 to play over the Nuggets but they managed to make just 8 free throws and didn't convert a field goal in the final nine minutes of the game. The Thunder missed their final 11 shots and committed three turnovers in a four possession span that let the Nuggets back into the game. A lot had to do with the fact that the Thunder were playing their 4th game in a five day span and the second night of a back-to-back. Jumpshots lacked spring. Long shots fell short. In a game when they should have been driving to the basket the Thunder chose to shot from the perimeter.

"We settled," said Jeff Green. "We didn't try to be aggressive."

The Thunder are the youngest team in the league and are clearly learning the ropes when it comes to playoff basketball. Head coach Scott Brooks even made some strategic mistakes last night as he didn't use his bench enough when his starting five were fighting exhaustion.

"That's part of getting better," said Brooks. "Figuring it out if things aren't going your way."

Oklahoma City had been on a very impressive roll since late January as they won 24 of 31 games but they've since dropped two very big games to the Jazz and Nuggets. The Thunder are 9-4 SU their last thirteen at home but that record is a little misleading as just three of those nine have come against winning teams.

Head to Head

In the two regular season meetings the road team has won both times. Back in December the Thunder went into Phoenix as a 8.5-point underdog and won 117-113. The Thunder led by as many as 15 points in that game and were never really threatened. The glaring difference in that contest was a +10 rebounding advantage for the Thunder and a +3 turnover differential. Both teams shot well, over 47% each. In the most recent meeting in late February the Suns captured a 104-102 win in OKC. In this game the Suns were +10 in rebounds and shot 51.3% as a team which proved to be the difference. Interestingly enough, Steve Nash didn't play in that game but Goran Dragic filled in with 16 points and 10 assists.

Betting Beliefs – Always or Never

The NBA and NHL seasons are rapidly coming to a close and Major League Baseball is heading into its first full weekend. Here are some hard, fast betting rules to live by. You are not going to win every time, but your bankroll with be much thicker or have larger figures than if you decided to go the other way.

ALWAYS bet against “turrible” NBA teams late in the season

Charles Barkley may have different ways of utilizing words in the English language, but Sir Charles knows a “turrible” team when he sees one. Bettors looked at the New Jersey Nets recently after they overcame the dubious NBA record for losses and even covered six games in a row. More than one bettor has been sent down the wrong path betting a team with 11 wins and being outscored by 9.3 points per game.

If it looks like dog poop, smells like dog poop, it probably is dog poop. Don’t forget to add Detroit, Minnesota and the Clippers to this list, since most of the players and coaches have already prepaid their airline luggage charges for out of town on the day the regular season ends.

ALWAYS bet on NBA teams that are streaking and playoff bound

If teams are playing solid basketball, winning and moving up the standings plus covering spreads, it makes sense to at the very least consider them on game by game basis.

The Milwaukee Bucks are 14-5 and 12-6-1 ATS since March 1. During that same time span it’s been the flight of the Phoenix in the desert, with the Suns 14-3, 10-6-1 ATS.

So much for injuries, age and nasty schedule supposedly to derail San Antonio. The Spurs are 15-5 and 14-6 ATS; with Tony Parker missing 75 percent of these games and Tim Duncan getting days off to rest weary knees. Follow the words of Grammy award winner Jerry Reed from his early 70’s hit “When you’re, you’re hot”.

NEVER bet out of boredom

If you have been betting college and professional basketball on a daily basis since early November, looking at a skimpy NBA schedule leaves much to be desired if you do not wager on baseball or want to survey the landscape first. I’ve received a couple of email from guys, “Who do you like in the NHL tonight?” or “Got any hot ones in hockey?”

If you haven’t been following hockey all season, now is not the time to start. Though every game looks like a 50-50 proposition, rest assured you are much more likely to lose than to win just guessing. Advice- play the lottery, payouts are larger, if not your odds.

ALWAYS bet underdogs in NHL series wagering

The first round of the Stanley Cup rivals anything NCAA men’s basketball tournament has to offer. In the past four years, over 37 percent of the lower seeds (12 of 32) have advanced to the conference semi-finals. In addition, three other series went the full seven games, which could have provided even more fuel to this argument. Look for hot goaltender and teams with two or three snipers as underdog wagers.

NEVER bet on -151 or more early April favorites in baseball

The baseball in April is a real crapshoot as unsuspecting teams get off to fast starts and perennial powers haven’t put everything together yet. On April 25 last season, here are the records of various MLB teams.

Toronto 13-6
Seattle 12-6
N.Y. Yankees 9-8
L.A. Angels 6-11
Florida 11-6
Philadelphia 8-8
Colorado 5-11

Last season was fairly typical of what occurs. Favorites of -151 or higher were 33-21 (61.1 percent), but were -2.84 units overall the first two weeks of the season.

NEVER bet on “up and comers” early without pedigree

This is tried and true formula in any sport. Ole Miss (8-4, 6-5 ATS regular season) and California (8-5, 6-7 ATS) were ranked in the Top 15 in preseason polls in college football last season, Georgia Tech (No. 17 in preseason polls) in college hoops this past campaign and what about Miami (7-9 8-8 ATS) and Houston (9-7, 7-8-1 ATS) in the NFL listed as likely playoff teams.

Typically a team needs to prove themselves or they come out of nowhere to be a surprise squad is how it usually happens.

Be careful with the Seattle Mariners and even the San Francisco Giants, until they show they can win consistently to be counted as “play on” teams.

NEVER bet against Pamela Anderson

Though the blonde bombshell is adding up in years and might be 20-1 to win Dancing with the Stars, she always finds a way to get herself in the news or on TV.
