Thanks to a couple of empty net goals by LA, my three Unders in NHL Game 7's went from a possible winning or break-even day to a losing one with those three plays going 1-2. Thankfully I hit my play of the day on the Rockets as they showed up at home and forced a Game 6. I would not be surprised to see that series go the full seven games as well but I'll get to that game when it comes up tomorrow. Today it's getaway day in MLB with numerous double-headers after a rainy start to the week and it's on the diamond where two of my three plays come from tonight. All lines taken from Carbon Sports with bet amounts "to win" on favorites and flat on underdogs Play of the Day in Bold NHL YTD: 3-5-1 (-$224) MLB YTD: 3-7-1 (-$766) NBA YTD: 6-5-1 (+$458) NBA Plays: Oklahoma City/Memphis Under 185.5 (-110) $330 to win $300 After four straight overtime games in this series I think we see the defense continue to reign supreme in this series and someone winning this one in regulation. If it weren't for all the overtimes this series would have a 1-4 O/U record rather than a 3-2 O/U mark as 'under' bettors have been continually getting burned. With the Grizzlies at home trying to move on and the Thunder looking to force a Game 7, tonight's game will be a defensive struggle down to the core with the first team to reach 90 likely coming out on top.

Yesterday was a rather frustrating day in the sense that I had weather postpone the Cubs/Reds game that I had two plays on and two of my other bets pushed on the number. Indiana had no chance of covering their spread and thanks to Patrick Roy's tactics of pulling his goalie with plenty of time left, Minnesota's empty-netters put me in the loss column. It's on to tonight's board though and with only one game in the NHL, it's baseball and basketball that I've devoted my attention too. All lines taken from Carbon Sports with bet amounts "to win" on favorites and flat on underdogs Play of the Day in Bold NHL YTD: 2-3-1 (-$14) MLB YTD: 3-5-1 (-$336) NBA YTD: 4-4-1 (+78) NBA Plays:  Pick #1: Washington/Chicago Under 183.5 (-110) $330 to win $300 - All four games of this series have gone over the number so far, but with the Bulls in the surprising spot of facing elimination tonight I believe they turn up their defense to yet another level and make this game a race to 80 points. Washington has proved that they've got the better scorers throughout the first four games and with more scoring options to go to, Washington's chances to win increase the higher scoring this game becomes. Chicago won't go down without a fight and likely aren't going to lose all three at home in this series, so for them to force a Game 6 they'll have to rely on that top ranked defense from the regular season to get the job done. Pick #2: Golden State/LA Clippers Under 210 (-110) $220 to win $200 - This game is going to have a very eerily feel to it [...]
