[W.HI.P]

I'd like to make one more addition for today's games:
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB

Tampa Bay Rays vs Baltimore Orioles
E.Jackson - S.Trachsel

Jackson is making a strong case for being the Rays #4 or #5 starter.
He's got some stiff competition, but if he gets through this one without a scratch, he'd be considered part of the rotation.
The Orioles will inevitably finish last in the east, despite their early showing.
My info says that B.Roberts is on his way out this year.....lets see where he ends up!

Bet on the Tampa Bay Rays

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

Detroit goes up 1-0.
The Celtics take back home-court advantage with an amazing defencive display.
Jered Weaver pitched a shut-out for the Angels!
Penny had a tough 3th inning, but he's back on track now in the 6th.
C.Lee got another win for the Indians!
Tampa Bay got another win against the Orioles!
Longoria with 2 home-runs in the game!
BJ.Upton went 4 for 4!
Pena went 3 for 3!
Crawford 2 for 3.!
Combining for 10 runs and 11 RBI's!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB

Tampa Bay Rays vs Baltimore Orioles
J.Shields - D.Cabrera

I'm calling for the Sweep here, which could potentialy put the Rays in 1st place overall in the Major leagues!
J.Shields is pitching at a very high level.
Cabrera, although throwing very hard, can get hurt by this line-up.


Bet on the Tampa Bay Rays

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

Tampa Bay swept the Orioles putting them in first place in the Major leagues with a 30-20 record.
The Rays are a very speedy young, talented team.
Their pitching rotation looks like this right now:
1)S.Kazmir(24yrs) 3-1 ... 1.57 ERA
2)J.Shields(27yrs) 4-3 ... 3.38 ERA
3)M.Garza(24yrs) 3-1 ... 4.06 ERA
4)Sonnastine(25yrs) 6-2 ... 5.09 ERA
5)E.Jackson(24yrs) 3-3... 3.47 ERA

These are some of the young bats:

Longoria is 23
BJ Upton is 23
Crawford is still just 26!
Honourable mention to the 24 year old Catcher Navarro, who is batting 3.55 after 107 at bats.

The Rays Closer Percival has been a huge key to their success.
The Rays have won the last 11 games he's been involved in, he's got 14 saves and a 2.61 ERA with a 1K per inning ratio.

I gave this team to simply win their division against these falling empires at 67/1 a few months back, it was not by luck.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB

Atlanta Braves vs Arizona Diamondbacks
J.Jurrjens - B.Webb

Jurrjens has been quite impressive, but if i'm gonna bet on a pitcher this year,
its this guy, Webb!
Hey, Eric Byrnes just got a grand Slam today.
You know what it means when this guy gets it going.

Bet on the Arizona Diamondbacks

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Blatimore Orioles vs NY Yankees
G.Olson - D.Rasner

Rasner is looking good: 3-0, 1.89 ERA!
Here are two teams heading in two seperate directions.

Bet on the New York Yankees

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Chicago Cubs vs Los Angelos Dodgers
R.Dempster - C.Billingsley

If you've been watching Dempster lately, than you know how remarkably he's pitching.
The Cubs line-up i've mentioned time and time again.

The Dodgers seem a disapointment, not onl the pitching staff, but the line-up.
I figured, if there is a team in this division who can challenge Arizona, it would be this team.
I mean the Padres are a laughing stock.
The Giants look even worse than San Diego.
The Rockies actually llok better than the Dodgers right about now.

Bet on the Chicago Cubs

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Tampa Bay Rays vs Texas Rangers
S.Kazmir vs S.Ponson

I'm not a fan of the Rays, I'm simply pointing them out, as they are elite.

Bet on the Tampa Bay Rays

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

Webb got hit against and lost.
Rasner pitched a gem, but the Yankees could not get the win.
Dempster was amazing once again getting the win for the Cubs.
Kazmir was brilliant yet again, keeping the Rays in 1st place overall!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB

Clevland Indians vs Chicago White Sox
A.Laffey - A Buehrle

If Laffey keeps pitching as he has, the Indians won't have trouble getting the win here.

Bet on the Clevland Indians

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Tampa Bay Rays vs Texas Rangers
A.Sonnastine - V.Padilla

If Tampa's gonna lose anytime soon, you'd think it would be here where Texas's #1 faces the Rays #4.
I'm still gonna ride on the #1 team in baseball.

Bet on the Tampa Bay Rays

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

New York Mets vs Florida Marlins
J.Santana - A.Miller

Small price, but its gonna happen.

Bet on the New York Mets

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kansas City Royals vs Minnesota Twins
B.Bannister - N.Blackburn

The Royals may be due for a win, but it will be tough to hit against Blackburn.

Bet on the Minnesota Twins

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Arizona Diamondbacks vs San Fransisco Giants
D.Haren - T.Lincecum

I've had a few arguments about Haren.
IMO, he's not as good as his #'s show.
Lincecum is almost unbeatable.
The Giants pay well here!

Bet on the San Fransisco Giants

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Seattle Mariners vs Boston Red Sox
M.Batista vs D.Matsuzaka

The price on Seattle at home is unbelievably high.
Ok, so Matsuzaka's pitching and Batista is destined to get beat up.
Seattle is on a 7 game loosing streak.
Loosing streaks do come to an end, and they always pay well.

Bet on the Seattle Mariners

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

San Diego Padres vs Washington Nationals
R.Wolf - S.Hill

Wolf was a bad pick-up for the Padres.
I'll be riding against him till the end of the seasson.

Bet on the Washington Nationals

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

Great day yesterday despite the Rays and the National's losing.
Laffey continued dominating, getting the win for the Indians.
The Mets won.
Blackburn gave up 1 run for the Twins.
Lincecum proved superior to haren.
Seattle ended their 7 game losing streak with a win against Matsuzaka!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NBA

Boston Celtics(-5.5) vs Detroit Pistons
Series tied 2-2

Nothings gonna get in the way of this Celtics-Lakers final.

Bet on the Boston Celtics

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

LA Angels vs Detroit Tigers
J.Saunders vs A.Galarraga

A dangerous outing for Saunders, as he faces a line-up that has the ability to score multiple runs against any opponent.
However Saunders, with a good outing here, can be ranked the #1 pitcher in baseball at the end of the day!

Bet on the LA Angels

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

Saunders failed to rank #1 last night, although he holds the same record as B.Webb: (9-2)

Not much to bet on today, tommorow is clearly a better day.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB

Tampa Bay Rays vs Chicago White Sox
E.Jackson - J.Danks

The Rays look to maintain their #1 seed in baseball with a win here.
Tampa Bay's closer Percival is on the DL, so Wheeler will take over.
The Line-up is 100% and Jackson is an established starter.

Bet on the Tampa Bay Rays

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

New York Mets vs LA Dodgers
C.Vargas - B.Penny

The Dodgers line-up does not impress me at all.
In this case, i will be taking them as Penny is starting, and is destined to do well.
You won't find me going against the Mets often this year.

Bet on the LA Dodgers

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

St.Louis Cardinals vs Houston Astros
K.Lohse - R.Oswalt

Oswalt's numbers will improve as the year goes on.
Lance Berkman remains the #1 ranked bat in the Major leagues.
This one pays a pretty penny.

Bet on the Houston Astros

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

I told you that tommorow was gonna be a better day, but seriously, wtf is wrong with Brad Penny?

Lakers are in the final.
One win for the Celtics and were in for a HUGE pay-day!!!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NBA

Detroit Pistons(-6.0) vs Boston Celtics
Celtics lead series 3-2

I won't put any money on this game as I'm out for a fortune on my long term bets should the Celtics win this game.
For those of you who did not take my Lakers vs Celtics 25/1 (12/1) bet, take this game.
The scenario is the only thing thats gonna save this dying game.

Bet on the Boston Celtics

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NHL

Pittsburgh Penguins vs Detroit Red Wings
Red Wings lead series 2-1

After game 2, every mofo I'd meet would tell me the same friggin thing: Red Wings in 4 ...like HELLO!!!!!
I answered:You're all brainwashed..... this will go to game 7.

Bet on the Pittsburgh Penguins

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB


Tampa Bay Rays vs Chicago White Sox
J.Shields - J.Contreras

Last year they called me crazy when I said that Contreras still had some games left.
This year he's proving me right.
In this particular game though, he is out-matched as Shields proves everytime he goes up there that he is elite.

Bet on the Tampa Bay Rays

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*


LA Angels vs Toronto Blue Jays
Jered Weaver - D.McGowan

Jered Weaver is one of the absolute elite pitchers in baseball.
Against this weak line-up, he will have no problems at all.

Bet on the LA Angels

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

All prices listed, are the prices that were listed at the time of the prediction

[W.HI.P]

Huge pay-day!
The Boston Celtics beat the Detroit Pistons in game 6 winning the Eastern conference.
The Celtics will meet the Lakers in the finals.

Garnet takes Gasol out, and Pierce is probably the best guy in the game to mark Bryant.
Boston has the advantage.

Tampa Bay beat the White Sox maintaining 1st place in the MLB.

The Angels are tied with the Blue Jays in the 4th inning.

Stanley Cup game #4 tommorow night.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB

Tampa Bay Rays vs Chicago White Sox
S.Kazmir vs J.Vasquez

Kazmir is clearly the best bet when the Rays are playing.

Bet on the Tampa Bay Rays

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

LA Angels vs Toronto Blue Jays
J.Lackey vs S.Marcum

I'm not such a a big fan of Lackey, but Marcum isn't that good, and his numbers will rise as time passes.
The Angels are world series prone where the Blue Jays will only grab hold of fourth in their division because Roberts will be leaving the Orioles.

Bet on the LA Angels

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

Kazmir and the Rays, shut-out the White-sox!
They just keep winning!

The Angels beat the Jays!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB

San Fransisco Giants vs San Diego Padres
T.Lincecum - R.Wolf

It does not get easier than this.
One of the most dominant pitchers in the game against a dead horse.

Bet on the San Fransisco Giants

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NY Mets vs LA Dodgers
J.Santana - H.Kuroda

I'm not playing mister smart guy, I've bet against Johan in my life, more than I've bet on him.
I also like Kuroda....he's simply playing on a bad team.
Johan and Pedro, should the 2nd preform as expected, now as he returns, will be the greatest 1-2 in the game.

Bet on the New York Mets

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

Another perfect day as both the Giants and the Mets won!
To add to that, the Rays and the Angels also won!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB

Texas Rangers vs Clevland Indians
D.Mathis - A.Laffey

Laffey has really pitched beyond expectations so far.
The man holds a 1.59 ERA.
The Indians will get out of this slump, even with Hafner on the DL. They will make a challenge for this division.

Bet on the Clevland Indians

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

There's a lot of action on Tuesday.
We're talking Chamberlain's starting debut!
Pedro Martinez's return!
Saunders vs Bedard!
Francis vs Penny.
The Rays start their series with the Red Sox for the AL lead!
...........so save your money for then!

[W.HI.P]

The Indians won!
We're on a 3 day winning streak.

The Penguins forced a game 6 at the igloo.

Penny faces the Rockies, I will take that, but holod back on putting in the rec's till i see Penny back o his old self.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB

NY Yankees vs Toronto Blue Jays
J.Chamberlain - R.Halladay

Finally Joba gets to start for the Yankees.
He is clearly their best pitcher after their closer Rivera.
This guy is a great pitcher, this is not hype.

I wonder why people who don't watch the games hold such a strong opinion on the sport.
The Blue Jays suck.
Its not their record that sucks, its the team.
The locals would talk about the pitching staff.
One of the things you gotta look at when judging an ERA, is what teams that pitcher has faced.
If you take a closer look at the match-ups coming up, you'll see that the Jays schedule condemns their pitchers numbers.
The Yankees are the main threat to my Rays in the division.

The Jays will only be able to threaten the Orioles for 4th place this year.

Bet on the NY Yankees

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Boston Red Sox vs Tampa Bay Rays
Masterson vs Garza

The Tampa Bay Rays are in first place in the American league.
The Angles are #2 forllowed by Boston.
That will not change after this game.
The Rays can seriously push away by winning this series.
This game pays well.

Bet on the Tampa Bay Rays

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Seattle Mariners vs LA Angels
Bedard - Saunders

The LA Angels have won their past 6 series, this should be #7.
They don't need to win this particular game for that to hapen.
Two amazing pitchers here makes the Under the best bet.

Bet on the Under

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

San Fransisco Giants vs NY Mets
B.Zito - P.Martinez

Pedro returns.
You can clearly expect him to be 100% ready for this.
His motivation is what seems to have been lacking in the recent past.
Based on the story of one of his late fathers last requests of wanting him to pitch again, should bring his motivation to its peak.
Reyes is on fire and Church is back!

Bet on the NY Mets

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

[W.HI.P]

Tampa Bay's lead is cut to 1/2 a game.
Chamberlain got beat up.
Saunders beat Bedard.
Pedro Martinez's return was a good one as the Mets won.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NBA

Boston Celtics(-2.5) vs LA Lakers
Series tied 0-0

I don't have to worry about this game as I've got money on both teams to take it all from early on in the season.
IMO, Bynum would have made this close.
Without him, the Lakers don't stand a chance.

Taking a step back though, I would not be suprised if this went to game 7... I mean, now that they've finally got people watching, it would be silly for them to cut it short.
Home teams should take the majority.

Bet on the Boston Celtics

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NHL

Pittsburgh Penguins vs Detroit Red Wings
Red Wings lead series 3-2

I said that this'll go 7 games, and it should.
The perception left to anyone who watched game 5 is that the Wings will win, so a Peguins win is more than likely on money alone.
Game 7? 60-40 I suppose.
I look to make quite the profit should the underdog pull it off.

Bet on the Pittsburgh Penguins

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

MLB

Seattle Mariners vs LA Angels
C.Silva - Jered Weaver

Jered is the next Carpenter.

Bet on the LA Angels

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Boston Red Sox vs Tampa Bay Rays
Beckett - Jackson

Like it or not, Boston's season is over.
The Rays should withstand a late NYY charge should it come.
The Rays will hit Beckett.

Bet on the Tampa Bay Rays

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

NY Yankees vs Toronto Blue Jays
Litsch - Mussina

Litsch's ERA will be over 5.00 at the end of this season.
Did I mention that the Blue Jays suck?
Yeah, well they do.

Bet on the NY Yankees

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Texas Rangers vs Clevland Indians
Ponson - Lee

Ponson has shown some good stuff this year, but he is out-matched.
Lee holds an 8-1 record with a 1.88 ERA!

Bet on the Clevland Indians

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Tennis - French open(Women)

D.Safina vs E.Dementieva

Safina is the heavy favorite here as her serve is superb.
Dementieva has the form and experience to pull off the upset and advance.

Bet on E.Dementieva
