I hope we all increased our bankrolls yesterday with my 5* play on Golden State.  Also cleaned up on my 3 added bonus plays in total going 4-0 on NBA Sunday.  Also follow me on twitter @d_rocksports for some halftime action bets yesterday going 1-0 on my free twitter plays. All lines courtesy Pinnacle Sports My top rated play of the day is: LA Kings money line -118 (3*) - San Jose is struggling defensively and as a result their goaltender is getting the boot tonight.  The Sharks are starting their back-up goalie Alex Stalock on the road in LA.  The Kings finally got the goaltending they needed last game with a 3-0 win in the shark tank.  I see another one of those performances tonight from the Kings a low scoring affair with Quick being the difference maker. Kings 3-1 I'm also backing: St. Louis run line -1.5 +148 (3*) - Brewers P Yovani Gallardo is 0-8, 8.17 ERA in last 10 starts vs. the Cardinals plus the Brewers will be without Ryan Braun and Jean Segura tonight witch is a huge loss for the team.  Look for St. Louis to batt around Gallardo and cruise to an easy win. Atlanta/Pacers UNDER 186.5 -108 (2*) - The total has gone under 3 straight games in this series and I don't see it changing at all.  Both teams play defense first and like to run down the shot clock look for that trend to continue. Added Bonus for the Parlay lovers: Kings ml, St. Louis run line -1.5, Hawks/Pacers under 186.5, Pens/Columbus over 5.5 4 teamer - +1867  

Yesterday was not a good one by any means as I only won one of my 7 plays for the day and really cut into my profits. Poor play by the Rockets down the stretch to let Portland overtake them while eventually forcing Overtime killed my Play of the Day for it to be the first loser on that front. Bad days like that will happen in this business though and it's important to not let it rattle you going forward. Here are today's plays as I'm looking to get back into the win column tonight. All lines taken from Pinnacle Sports with bet amounts "to win" on favorites and flat on underdogs Play of the Day in Bold NHL YTD: 2-2 (+$228) MLB YTD: 2-5-1 (-$696) NBA YTD: 4-3 (+$286) MLB Plays: Pick #1 and #2: Chicago Cubs ML (+118) $200 to win $236 and Chicago/Cincinnati Over 7.5 (-103) $309 to win $300 - The Reds took two of three @ Wrigley about a week ago and return home for the first time tonight after a 10-game road trip that started against these Cubs. Cincinnati is 1-8 SU in their last nine Game 1's and 2-7 SU in their last nine at home against a righty, so look for Samardzija to get his revenge tonight. - Cincinnati is also 6-1-1 O/U after a road trip of 7+ days and with the Cubs being 6-0 O/U after a victory this year, look for more at least 8 runs to be scored tonight after these two starting pitchers met last week and only gave up 5. Pick #3: Oakland A's ML (+120) $300 to win $360 -After getting swept at home by Texas a week ago [...]

Yesterday's four selections went 3-1 with all three winners coming in at + money. Results like that are great momentum builders and I'm hoping to keep it going today. I've got plays in all three major sports today so let's hope we can build off of two strong days in a row and increase that bottom line.
