MLB:
White Sox ML -135
Buehrle is 4-0 with a 2.27 ERA in his last 5 starts. He has pitched at least 7 innings in all of his 10 starts this year including his last outing, a complete game 4 hit 1 run win vs. LAA on May 24th.
Wasburn has been inconsistent all year long and you never know what type of a performance you will get from him. This guy will either pitch lights out or get blown away early. Washburn is 1-3 with a 5.48 ERA in his last 4 starts.
White Sox are #1 in batting avg. in the AL with a .299 avg. vs. LHP. The Angels meanwhile are the 3rd worst team in the Majors in batting avg. vs. LHP, hitting only .222. Buehrle will work them hard and fast. Coming off a sweep of the lowly Royals, the Angels will have a false sense of confidence when they meet the AL Central leaders.
White Sox are 12-5 in Game 1 of all series this year.
Padres ML -125
San Diego is arguably the hottest team in MLB right now. This is a great price for team at home that is 20-5 in their last 25 games!!! May makes his 3rd start of the year for the Padres. He is 0-0 with a 5.53 ERA. He is coming off a bad start vs. Arizona and also pitched some middle relief earlier in the year. His problems have come mainly on the road. At home, May has pitched 9 innings giving up only 5 hits and 1 earned run this year. Everyone in SD's line up is hitting the ball well lately and they are averaging over 8 runs per game over the last 6 games. This should be enough run support for May to last about 6 innings and then SD's excellent bullpen can take over from there. SD's BP is 12-5 with a 3.27 ERA. If May can go 5 or 6 innings then the Seanez/Hammond/Linebrink/Hoffman combo can take it home from there.
Milwaukee is coming off 2 straight home losses to Houston!! Houston??? That doesn't look good for the Brewers, as we all know how bad the Astros have been on the road. Now, Milwaukee travels to sunny California to play the red hot Padres who are fresh off a sweep of their west coast rivals the Giants. Brewers' starting pitcher Santos is 2-4 with a 3.02 ERA. However, he does his best work at home at Miller Park. The Brewers are 1-4 in Santos' 5 road starts this year. His ERA also jumps up to 3.95 in those 5 road starts. Padres also hit RHP really well, ranked #2 in the NL in batting avg. with .272.
Padres are 13-4 in Game 1 of all series this year.
NBA:
Spurs -6
Spurs want to end this quickly and painlessly. Duncan would love some extra time off to heal his aching body. If there ever was a let down it would have come in game 3. We all saw how dominant the Spurs were in that game and especially the whole series. The Suns cannot compete at the same level as the novelty of "running the other team out of the gym" has worn off. This is the playoffs and not a regualr season game being played in February. Suns are not built to play in a championship game, whereas the Spurs have already been there and know what it takes to win. The line in game 3 was Spurs -4.5 in a must win game for the Suns. Now the line is Spurs -6 in a must win game for the Suns??? Any takers on the Suns out there?? Not me. Spurs have a defence, a deeper bench, a better coach and tons of experience including a former league MVP. Spurs have dominated all 3 games so far. What makes you think the Suns will find a way to solve the San Antonio defence in game 4?? The Suns had a good run and Nash was a deserving MVP, but it all ends on Monday night for them. Thanks for the great year Steve!!!
