| MLB | May 19, 2013 Toronto Blue Jays vs. New York Yankees |
Total 8 un+103 at 5DIMES |
started |
Free Play The Yankees can sweep the Blue Jays with a win on Sunday afternoon. RA Dickey has bounced back after a rough start against the Mariners on May 4th. Dickey has allowed just 5 runs and 11 hits against the Rays and Giants while striking out 15 over that span. The knuckleballer lost 3-2 to the Yankees on April 28th after giving up 3 runs and four hits in seven innings. Robinson Cano (3-13), Curtis Granderson (3-16), Travis Hafner (3-12), Lyle Overbay (3-17) and Ichiro (2-13) all have had their problems with Toronto's starter. The Yankees are winning, but not with their offense. They are hitting right around .238 in their last eight games while going Under the total in 9 of their last 13 games overall. CC Sabathia is 4-3 with a 3.19 ERA and five Unders in nine starts. He beat the Blue Jays on April 27th after giving up 4 runs and nine hits in eight innings. Overall, the lefty is 14-4 with a 3.00 ERA in 19 career starts against Toronto. JP Arencibia (2-20), Jose Bautista (2-23), Emilio Bonifacio (1-7), Rajai Davis (7-40), Edwin Encarnacion (9-36) and Colby Rasmus (0-6) have poor numbers against the Yankees’ starter. Toronto has managed just 2 runs so far in this series and outside of an offensive outburst of 33 runs in three games last week, they haven't done much of anything else. New York's bullpen has yet to blow a save at home and they are 18-for-20 overall. We expect a low-scoring game between the Blue Jays and Yankees on Sunday afternoon. |

MLB | May 18, 2013 Kansas City Royals vs. Oakland A's |
Total 7½ un-118 at 5DIMES |
Won $100 |
|
Ervin Santana comes back to Oakland, and he’s quite familiar with them from his time with the Angels. Santana is 3-2 with a 2.79 ERA in seven starts with all seven of those games going Under the total. The righty has allowed just 7 runs in his last three starts. Even more impressive is his control; he has allowed just six walks in just over 48 innings of work. The righty is 14-5 with a 2.06 ERA in 24 career starts against Oakland with 17 of those games going Under the total. Daric Barton (7-31), Coco Crisp (3-15), Jed Lowrie (2-8) and Seth Smith (2-10) all have had their problems with Santana. Oakland's offense has deserted them lately hitting right around .215 in their last eight games. The Royals’ bullpen has an ERA right around 3.00 on the season. Tom Milone is 3-5 with a 3.71 ERA in eight starts. He has allowed just 9 runs and 25 hits in four starts at home. Milone is 1-1 with a 1.20 ERA in two career starts against Kansas City with both of those games going Under the total. The Royals are hitting .229 against left-handed starters with eight of those games going Under the total. Oakland has a great bullpen as well with an ERA right around 3.00. We expect another low-scoring game between the Royals and A’s in this game on Saturday night. 9* Play UNDER the total. |

NBA | May 18, 2013 New York Knicks vs. Indiana Pacers |
Indiana Pacers -5-107 at 5DIMES |
Won $100 |
|
New York was desperate in Game 5 after getting down 3-1 in the series. The Knicks played well and won 85-75 to force Game 6 in Indiana tonight. New York was fortunate as well as George Hill was ruled out because of a concussion; Hill averages 14.2 points per game for the Pacers and his absence hindered Indiana’s offense. Hill will most likely miss tonight’s game as well, but at least Indiana will be prepared to play without him, something they weren’t ready for after he was ruled out just hours before tip in Game 5. The Knicks are 0-4 on the Pacers home court this season with their four losses coming by a combined 61 points. New York was held to just 76, 91, 71, and 82 points in those games, and with the Pacers off a terrible effort, we expect the Knicks’ offense to struggle in this game tonight. Indiana is in a terrific bounce back spot tonight, especially since they are returning home to play on their strong home court where they are 35-11 this season. When playing at home after losing their previous game on the road, the Pacers are an incredible 14-1 SU this season. Their lone loss came in the final game of the regular season when three starters did not play. Indiana is 11-2-2 ATS versus tonight’s posted line in this situation with their average win coming by a whopping 13.1 points per game. Indiana is a perfect 2-0 in this situation in the playoffs winning by 23 and 11 points with the 11-point win coming over the Knicks in this series. Indiana’s offense was terrible in the last game as they shot just 36.2% (25-69) from the field and 31.6% (6-19) from three-point land. The Pacers also missed 14 free throws (19-33) while shooting an ugly 57.6% from the line. We expect a big bounce back effort from Indiana so we’ll lay the points with them in this game on Saturday night. 10* Play PACERS (-). |

MLB | May 18, 2013 Tampa Bay Rays vs. Baltimore Orioles |
Baltimore Orioles -108 at BETONLINE |
Lost $108.0 |
|
Jair Jurrjens makes his Baltimore debut on Saturday afternoon as the Orioles try to halt a 3-game losing streak. Jurrjens went 4-1 with a 3.14 ERA in eight starts in AAA. He struck out 36 while walking 15 batters. The righty has never faced the Rays in his short career. Tampa Bay is 7-12 on the road while hitting right around .240 as a unit. They are hitting .210 in the daytime while going 5-6 in those contests. Baltimore's bullpen has a big edge in this game with an ERA under 3.00. Roberto Hernandez is 0-3 with a 6.50 ERA in three road starts. One of those losses came to the Orioles back on April 16th when Hernandez allowed 5 runs and five hits in just over five innings. Another one of his losses came back on April 4th in Tampa Bay when Baltimore scored 4 runs off him. The Orioles may not be winning, but their lineup is hitting the ball extremely well right now. They are 8-6 in the daytime and scoring 5.6 runs per game while hitting .284. Tampa Bay's bullpen is a mess, especially after nearly blowing a huge lead in Friday night's game. We expect Baltimore to notch a solid home win in this game on Saturday afternoon. 9* Play ORIOLES (-) (action). |
