    Ice picks: Wednesday's best NHL bets
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Washington Capitals at New York Rangers (-109, 5)

    The Rangers opened the series by dropping a pair of road games to Washington, but they got back on track with a 3-2 home victory Sunday.

    The Capitals simply did not deliver a strong performance with a chance to take a commanding 3-0 series lead. They committed eight minor penalties and, although they killed all but one power play, it did not help their efforts to get into any kind of rhythm.

    “We’re desperate now,” defenseman John Carlson told the Washington Post. “It’s even if we lose the next game. It’ll be a big game for us, and that loss really didn’t feel good, the way it happened.”

    But it could be tough for Washington to bounce back. Aside from its two wins to begin the series, the team did not fare well against New York during the regular season. After losing the first game, the Rangers won three in a row, including a 7-0 blowout in December and a 6-0 rout in February.

    Pick: Rangers


    Anaheim Ducks at Nashville Predators (-144, 5)


    After a 4-1 Nashville road win in Game 1, a total of 15 goals have been scored over the past two contests - eight by the Ducks and seven by the Preds.

    In a critical Game 3 Sunday, Anaheim battled back from a two-goal deficit but Nashville’s Mike Fisher lit the lamp for the game winner with 9:39 remaining. Fisher has three goals and five points in the trio of games.

    “I'm just getting breaks,” Fisher told the Tennessean. “My linemates are playing really, really well,” Fisher said. “The (goal-scoring) play tonight was all my linemates. The team has played solid so far and we have to keep that going.”

    The two teams have now faced each other seven times this season. Only their first clash went under the total (that ended with five goals, just below the 5.5-goal total). The winning team has scored at least four times in all seven games.

    With the total at 5, the over is a smart play for this one.

    Pick: Over

          Rounding the bases: This week's MLB betting trends
          ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          Every week, we update you on who's hot, who's not and situational betting spots in Major League Baseball.

          Statistics as of Tuesday, April 19.

          HOT TEAM: Cleveland Indians

          THIS SEASON: 12-4
          LAST WEEK: 4-2

          THIS WEEK'S SCHEDULE: At Kansas City for four, at Minnesota for three.

          THE SKINNY: So much for first impressions. If you closed the book on the Indians after they allowed 23 runs in the first two games of the year, both losses to the White Sox, then you’ve missed out on a hot ticket.

          The Tribe just mopped up Baltimore, sweeping a three-game series, and went into Kansas City Monday night in first place in the AL Central and took a 7-3 win in extras. Who knows how long it will last? But the offense should always be there, and outfielder Grady Sizemore was activated Sunday, which only adds to the big bats.

          They’re still the Indians, but that’s a good thing. It keeps their prices down and only adds to your early-season bargain buys. Consider riding the Indians for a few more weeks before reality sets in.

          COLD TEAM: Baltimore Orioles

          THIS SEASON: 6-9
          LAST WEEK: 0-5

          THIS WEEK'S SCHEDULE: Home to Minnesota for four, home to the New York Yankees for three.

          THE SKINNY: The only thing that kept the Orioles from a 0-6 week was a rainout at the Yankees Tuesday. It was that bad for Baltimore and it just goes to show you how misleading the first week of the season can be.

          This is a team opened 4-0 and people already had Buck Showalter lined up for the Manager of the Year award. Well, that quieted in a hurry. The Orioles have no regulars batting over .259, and have a combined team ERA of 4.58. That’s not going to strike a chord with many smart bettors, unless you plan on fading them. Which, come to think of it, might not be a bad idea for the rest of the month.

          OVER TEAM: Colorado Rockies

          O/U THIS SEASON: 11-4-1
          O/U LAST WEEK: 6-1

          THIS WEEK'S SCHEDULE: Home to San Francisco for three, at Florida for three.

          THE SKINNY: Long gone are the rock ‘em, sock ‘em Rockies, with the Dante Bichettes and the Andres Galarragas of the world. This current group is different, but equally as potent. They hit with you more precision than power and if you like overs, this might be your team long-term.

          It starts with Troy Tulowitzki and his amazing April numbers, including seven home runs and 14 RBIs. But his cast is like the Energizer Bunny. It keeps going and going. You’ve got Carlos Gonzalez (12 RBIs), Seth Smith (seven doubles), Todd Helton (.366 average), and Jonathan Herrera (four stolen bases). And when you get to the deep end of the bench, you even have guys like Jason Giambi sitting there. Not a bad option.

          This team is built to score runs, still has the ballpark to do it in, and might just be one of the best over buys in recent memory. Take advantage.

          UNDER TEAM: Atlanta Braves

          O/U THIS SEASON: 5-11-1
          O/U LAST WEEK: 1-5

          THIS WEEK'S SCHEDULE: At Los Angeles for four, at San Francisco for three.

          THE SKINNY: The Braves had trouble generating offense last week versus the Marlins and Mets, and perhaps more of that is in store this week after losing 4-2 to the Dodgers Monday. They have to travel across the country and take on the pitching-heavy Dodgers and Giants, whch seems like a recipe for some more unders.

          The pitching has been great for Atlanta. Derek Lowe has two wins, a 1.82 ERA and 19 strikeouts. Tim Hudson has two wins and a 4.05 ERA. And the bullpen has been adequate.

          Offensively, they have some pop with two players sitting at three home runs and Jason Heyward at four, but they’re not driving a bunch in (Chipper Jones is the only Brave with double-digit RBIs). And until they do, they are an under buy.

            Smokin' Aces: Hot and cold MLB pitchers
            ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

            Welcome to another year of Smokin' Aces, a bi-weekly look around the majors at those starting pitchers that are hot, and those that are not.

            I’ll try to avoid isolating perennial Cy Young candidates such as Cliff Lee and Roy Halladay. Those pricey pitchers rarely boast value when you’re backing them and, let’s face it, fading them is rarely a good idea.

            Here’s a look at this week’s list.


            Money makers

            Matt Harrison, Texas Rangers

            I pulled the trigger on my biggest play of the season to date, backing Harrison and the Rangers as a substantial underdog against the Yankees this past Friday.

            Harrison turned in another superb effort, leading his team to a 5-3 victory.

            Through three starts, the Rangers left hander has posted a perfect 3-0 record while recording a 1.23 ERA and 0.91 WHIP. Opponents are hitting just .187 against him.

            That’s a stark contrast to Harrison’s work last year. He was mostly used as a long reliever, appearing in 37 games for the Rangers. In 78 1-3 innings of work, Harrison posted a 4.71 ERA and 1.52 WHIP.

            Heading into the season, those that follow the Rangers closely believed that this would be the year Harrison not only stuck in the rotation, but flourished. He’s made a few adjustments to his approach, both physically and psychologically, and the results have been staggering.

            Even though he pitches for a Rangers club that is slowly becoming overvalued, there’s still value in backing Harrison, at least until the betting marketplace catches on to him.


            Charlie Morton, Pittsburgh Pirates

            Morton was a pitcher that everyone loved to hate last season. That is, everyone except those that chose to fade him on a regular basis.

            He stuck around in the Pirates rotation long enough to post a disastrous 2-12 record to go along with a 7.57 ERA and 1.73 WHIP.

            There’s a reason why the Pirates stuck with him, though. At one time, he was one of the Braves’ top pitching prospects and most scouts still felt he had plenty of potential.

            Morton is living up to that potential so far in 2011. Through three starts, he’s 2-0 with a 1.64 ERA and 1.14 WHIP. He’s held opposing hitters to a .176 batting average. It’s not as if he’s been facing weak opponents either. His three starts have come against the Cardinals, Rockies and Reds.

            Morton will continue to boast value as long as the betting majority continues to hold onto its negative opinion regarding him.

            With the Pirates playing a scrappy brand of baseball (they’re 7-3 on the road this season), there’s reason to believe Morton can continue to find the win column with some regularity.


            Bankroll burners

            Brett Cecil, Toronto Blue Jays

            Along with Ricky Romero, Brett Cecil was supposed to anchor the Blue Jays young starting rotation in 2011.

            His third season at the big league level has been a bust so far, as he’s gone 1-1 with a 6.19 ERA and 1.56 WHIP through three starts.

            Cecil did make some progress in his last start, as he held the Red Sox to just two hits over six innings – his longest outing of the season. However, control continues to be an issue as he walked four in that game and he’s also had a tough time keeping the ball in the yard. The Red Sox tagged him for a pair of home runs Friday.

            While Cecil did win 15 games last season, he gave up more hits than innings pitched for the second consecutive season and he’s on track to do the same here in 2011. For his career, opponents are hitting .280 off of him.

            The Blue Jays have faltered lately, yet they’re still being priced as a contender. That opens the door for value fading Cecil in the next couple of weeks.


            Joe Saunders, Arizona Diamondbacks

            Stop me if you’ve heard this before: Joe Saunders is struggling.

            We might not have many more opportunities to fade the veteran left hander, as the D-backs have to be running out of patience.

            Saunders has posted a 6.32 ERA and 2.11 WHIP through three starts this season. Opponents are hitting .377 against him and he’s recorded a ridiculously bad 6:10 strikeout-to-walk ratio.

            It’s not as if the D-backs should have reason for optimism. He went 3-7 with a 4.25 ERA after joining them prior to the trade deadline last year. Dating back to the start of last season, Saunders owns a 9-19 overall record.

              Hot lines: Wednesday's best MLB bets
              ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

              Pittsburgh Pirates at Florida Marlins (-160, 8)

              The Florida Marlins are fully confident that Mike Stanton is going to be a home run-clubbing outfielder. But the youngster’s cold start is forcing manager Edwin Rodriguez to drop him sixth in the batting order.

              “I thought he was ready to go,” Rodriguez told AP reporters about Stanton, who missed most of spring training because of sore right hamstring but still began the season in the cleanup spot. “I take the blame for that. He needs more time, so I’m moving him down so he can relax more.”

              Stanton isn’t the only batter who needs to get going for the Marlins. Hanley Ramirez is still homerless and Florida, as a team, is tied for last in the National League in big flies with just eight round-trippers.

              More good news for total bettors: The under is 7-1 in the last eight meetings between the Bucs and the Fish.

              Pick: Under


              Minnesota Twins at Baltimore Orioles (-133, 8.5)


              The Twins are another squad struggling at the dish. Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau, the meat of their lineup, were both off to brutal starts before missing time due to injury and illness, and the supporting cast isn’t doing much to carry the load either.

              Morneau sat out a third straight game because of flu-like symptoms Tuesday night. The Twins responded by putting up a goose egg against the O’s. It was the sixth time in 10 games the Twinkies crossed home plate three or fewer times.

              It’s not just the lumber where the Twins are having issues. Joe Nathan lost the closer job and Matt Capps, who hasn’t exactly set the world on fire, was handed the role.

              Pick: Orioles
