FREE Card For Sunday, June 6, 2004
Detroit Pistons at Los Angeles Lakers 8:30 PM ET
Detroit Pistons +8 –107 (2 Units)
The Pistons have a huge task starting on Sunday in Game 1 of the Finals. While the offense will need to play better, the defense can hold their own and keep the Lakers in check, at least to keep this first game close. Being the underdog is something that the Pistons are looking forward to. "We love that," point guard Chauncey Billups said. "That's different for us, even though a lot of people didn't think we could beat Indiana. This is on a different level. It definitely fuels our fire. We know that we played that team well in the regular season, and that was without Rasheed. We feel very good about our position." He was referring to the two games earlier this season between the two teams. The Pistons and Lakers split two games in the regular season before the Pistons acquired Wallace in a trade. Since acquiring the former All-Star, they are 31-12, including the first three rounds of the playoffs. Billups has to have a big series, and his biggest contribution must be to make Shaq switch out to him on pick-and-rolls. One of the Pistons' advantages might be at the point guard position. Billups scored a combined 53 points against the Lakers in the regular-season matchups -- 24 in a 106-96 victory at the Palace and 29 in a 94-89 loss at L.A. In both games, all four of the Lakers' stars were in the starting lineup. The Pistons' bench also could be a big component. The backups outscored the Lakers' bench, 71-27, during the regular season. The Pistons are likely to press more, force a faster tempo and use their bench, again with the goals of exploiting the Lakers’ poor transition defense and ultimately wearing them down. Los Angeles is the big favorite and the public play. We think the Pistons stay within the number in Game 1.
Philadelphia Phillies (Millwood) at Atlanta Braves (Wright) 1:05 PM ET
Atlanta Braves (Wright) –1.5 +190 (2 Units)
Jaret Wright has pitched nothing but quality in 8 of his 10 starts this season. He is coming off back-to-back solid outings, posting a 1.88 ERA over his last 2 starts, both Atlanta wins. After scoring 2 total runs in 3 straight games, the Braves have scored 17 runs in his last 3 outings, showing the fact that the offense has picked up since getting healthy. Atlanta has won 10 of their last 16 games with an offense that has scored 5 or more runs 10 times. Wright has already defeated the Phillies once this season, going 7.1 innings and allowing only 1 run in his showdown with Kevin Millwood. Millwood is coming off a great outing against the Mets but it was his first one in his last 4 starts. Over that time, he has put up a 6.14 ERA and it’s not a good thing heading back into his old stomping grounds. He has never defeated his old team as the Phillies have gone 0-5 and Millwood has an 8.65 ERA in those 5 starts. That includes a 6-1 loss earlier this season against Wright. After Wright's impressive effort against them on May 27, many of the Phillies, including Wright's former Indians teammate, Jim Thome, said the right-hander displayed the best stuff they've seen this year. Andruw Jones, who hit a grand slam against Millwood earlier this year, has five hits, including two homers, in 13 at-bats against his former teammate.
Houston Astros (Oswalt) at St. Louis Cardinals (Suppan) 2:15 PM ET
St. Louis Cardinals (Suppan) +121 (2 Units)
The Astros are 1-7 in Roy Oswalt’s last 8 starts and there is no reason they should be the favorite here. If he has dominated the Cardinals in the past that would be one thing but he hasn’t. In his last 8 starts against St. Louis, Houston is 2-6 including a 1-2 mark at Busch Stadium. Jeff Suppan has been one of the most consistent starters for the Cardinals this season as he has allowed 3 runs or less in 8 of his last 9 starts this season. St. Louis is 6-3 in those games. He has gone against the Cardinals twice this season and despite going 1-1, he has pitched brilliantly in both games, allowing 3 runs in 13 innings for a 2.08 ERA and 1.00 WHIP. Suppan is 2-0 over his past three starts with a 1.89 ERA. He's allowed one homer in 19 innings over that stretch. The Cardinals will be going for the sweep after taking the first two games in this series. They will also be going for their 7th straight win, the longest current streak in baseball. The offense certainly is clicking, averaging 5.9 rpg over their last 11 games. It coincides with Scott Rolen’s 11-game hitting streak while Albert Pujols has reached base 31 times over the past nine games.
Texas Rangers (Drese) at New York Yankees (Mussina) 1:05 PM ET
Texas Rangers (Drese) +190 (2 Units)
Let’s catch the Yankees while they are down, especially with one of their most inconsistent and disappointing starters on the season. The Yankees may be 8-1 in Mike Mussina’s 12 starts on the year, but his numbers are not helping matters. He has a 4.96 ERA and 1.56 WHIP on the season but he has been bailed out by the offense behind him. The Yankees have won his last 7 starts even though 33 runs have been scored by the opposition. The Rangers will get to him again here and that is nothing new as Mussina has a 6.02 ERA in his last 8 starts against Texas. The Yankees are 2-6 in those starts. Ryan Drese will look to regain some of early season form as he has been hit his last 2 outings. He does have the benefit of some prior season experience that should give him some confidence heading into this start. Drese picked up the win in his start against the Yankees this season, going 8 innings and allowing just 7 hits and 3 runs. The Rangers improved to 30-23 and are 5-5 on their long road trip with one game remaining. They are assured of at least a .500 mark in their first two series with the Yankees showing that they can play with this team.
Detroit Tigers (Robertson) at Minnesota Twins (Silva) 2:10 PM ET
Detroit Tigers (Robertson) +120 (2 Units)
Neither team is playing particularly well with the Twins going 3-7 and the Tigers going 4-6 in their last 10 games respectively. Minnesota is only 5-11 their last 16 games including a 3-7 record at home. Detroit sends their most consistent starter to the hill today, as Nate Robertson has been brilliant in all but a couple starts this season. The Angels are his Achilles heel and taking those two starts away, his ERA drops to 2.63 on the season. The Tigers are 6-2 in his other 8 starts. Carlos Silva is off a solid performance against Tampa Bay, his first good outing is quite some time. Even with that start, the Twins are 1-3 in his last 4 starts with Silva posting a 7.20 ERA and 1.85 WHIP. He has faced the Tigers twice this season and while the Twins are 1-1 in those games, Silva allowed 4 earned runs in both games (6.00 ERA and 1.42 WHIP). The Twins have scored 3 or less runs in 7 of their last 10 games including 4 straight games. They have scored just seven runs on 20 hits over those last four games. Minnesota is hitting .256 against lefties in their last 10 games while Detroit is tagging righties at a .329 clip their last 10. The Twins have dropped their last four series with the Tigers looking for their first series win in Minnesota in 5 years.
