It was a profitable 2-1 day for my picks last night as the 'under' finally came in on a Stanley Cup Finals game with the Kings grabbing a stranglehold on the series. L.A is one win away from their second Stanley Cup in three years and they look poised to do it quickly. My baseball selections went 1-1 but it was my play of the day on 'over' 9.5 runs in Cleveland/Texas that had cashed by the 3rd inning. Easy winners like that are always great but it's not always about what you've done in this business it's about what you are doing today. I'm looking to provide more winners for you tonight with MLB action and the NBA Finals playing it's third game.

They send young lefty Travis Wood to the hill and in a rare anomaly of the season, this will only be the 7th time all year Pittsburgh has face a southpaw starter. The Pirates have done alright against the previous six, but nothing to warrant the heavy chalk they are laying tonight. Conversely, Chicago has pounded left-handed pitching all year (.270 team average) and are 4-1 SU in their last five on the road against southpaw starters. Chicago is also 4-1 SU in Wood's last five starts overall and I like their chances to even things up with [...]

2-2 day yesterday with once again the Cubbies bullpen blowing another lead for me.  My TOP play on the Heat was a winner and I needed that after two losing days at my TOP play.  Ready to get another run going with my TOP play of the day so let's get it started.  As always my daily record by sport, top play and star rating. 1* = $100  TOP FREE PLAY – 28-15-1 (65.1%) (+$5185) NBA YTD 20-21 (48.7%) (+$394) MLB YTD 39-34-1 (53.4%) (+$2026) NHL YTD 17-12-1 (58.6%) (+$627) NFL YTD 1-0 (100%) (+$310) PARLAY’S YTD (1*) – 0-2 (0%) (-$200) YEAR-TO-DATE * - 2* 19-13 (59%) 3* 35-34 (50.7%) 4* 20-20-2 (50%) 5* 3-0 (100%) All lines courtesy Pinnacle Sports TOP play in bold A's/Angels OVER 8.5 +102 (3*) Twins ml +165 (3*) Yankees ml +121 (3*) A's ml +115 (4*)  

I hope you all sided with history in the Belmont Stakes and cashed my play on California Chrome not to win. That's a play I look for every year when a horse has won the first two legs of the Triple Crown so keep that in mind for the coming years. My favorite horse Tonalist also came through with the victory as he made it back-to-back wins at the Belmont after claiming the Peter Pan Stakes a month ago. Commissioner was 2nd in that race too so it wasn't surprising to see him do well. My other plays went 2-3 on the day with yet another 'under' in the NHL playoffs going up in flames. I still believe the rest of the series will be low-scoring but I'll be looking to pick my spots. MLB was 2-2 with my top play on the 'over' in Tampa hitting but it was basically a break-even day on the diamonds. MLB action is where I'm going today as I'm looking to cash a few more tickets for you.

Camden Yards has always been a hitter-friendly park but when you give the players supportive winds like this, balls will fly everywhere. Ubaldo Jimenez is a fly-ball pitcher that's allowed 5 runs per start this year and the O's have a 3-9 SU record in [...]
