Texas Rangers vs. Toronto Blue Jays
Prediction: Toronto +140
CLICK HERE FOR TODAY’S EXPERT MLB PICKS

The Jays are showing value at this price as scheduled starter Drabek has the stuff to go toe-to-toe with Darvish. Drabek’s season ERA (2.25) is lower than Davish’s (2.42) and his home ERA (1.42) is lower than Darvish’s road ERA (1.50). Drabek won his only previous meeting with the Rangers, a 6-4 victory at Texas on April 25, 2011, when he yielded three runs in six innings.

The Rangers have struggled against the Blue Jays, losing 13 of the last 19 in the series, including 9 of the last 12 north of the border. It also can’t go unmentioned that their best player, Josh Hamilton, left Sunday’s game with back stiffness. His status for tonight’s game is still up in the air, but don’t be surprised if his swing is affected by the injury if he does go. Back injuries can be very difficult to deal with.

We’ll take the Jays at a nice price.

NBA Playoffs Betting Picks: Heat vs. Knicks Prediction: April 30th 2012

NBA Playoffs Betting Picks: April 20th 2012
Miami Heat vs. New York Knicks
Pick: Miami Heat -9.5
CLICK HERE FOR TODAY’S EXPERT NBA PICKS

Whether they blow the Knicks out or not, there’s no way anyone in their right mind can pick the New York Knicks to cover the spread against the far superior Miami Heat in this Eastern Conference showdown.

The Heat didn’t just beat New York, they crushed any hopes (dreams) that the New York Knicks may have had of winning this series, by pounding them into submission in their 100-67 rout on Saturday.

Now, I like the Heat to win again by double digits and cover the spread as a big home favorite tonight.

Miami is 5-1 ATS in their last six home games and an even more impressive 8-2 ATS in their last 10 playoff games as a favorite.

While the Heat have also gone 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game, the Knicks have gone just 1-5 ATS in their last six games as a road underdog between 5.0 and 10.5 points and I don’t see them getting the job done tonight either.

The good news for Knicks betting backers is the fact that the Road team in this series has gone 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings. -Eric Williams

MLB Predictions: Milwaukee Brewers vs. San Diego Padres: April 30th 2012

MLB Predictions: April 30th 2012
Milwaukee Brewers vs. San Diego Padres
Prediction: San Diego Padres -108
CLICK HERE FOR TODAY’S EXPERT MLB PREDICTIONS

The Brewers were able to salvage one game at St. Louis with a 3-2 win on Sunday but now they head out west with a 4-6 record on the road. The offense managed only six runs in the three-game set against the Cardinals and that offense has been an issue all season. The Brewers are hitting only .237 on the season including a mere .228 on the road and both of those are near the bottom of the league. Milwaukee is now 16-35 in its last 51 games as an underdog.

It was the opposite way for San Diego as it won the series opener at San Francisco before losing the final two games of their three-game series. The Padres are now back home for a nine-game homestand which could prove to be a very integral part of the season should it go one way or the other. The Padres are just 5-9 at home and like the Brewers, it is the offense that has been holding it back. Not favored often, the Padres do take advantage as they are 4-0 in their last four games when laying the price.

San Diego sends Joe Wieland to the hill and while he has yet to pick up a win in his rookie season, he has looked sharp. His Major League debut was not a good one as he allowed six runs in five innings on the road against the Dodgers but he has settled in at home where he has tossed two quality starts while posting a 2.25 ERA and 1.17 WHIP over 12 innings. Run support is the issue but we should see another strong outing as the Brewers are 0-5 in their last five road games against right-handed starters.

The Brewers counter with Randy Wolf who is off to a rough start this season. He is coming off a quality outing but that was his first one as his other three starts resulted in some bad numbers. Even though his last start was a good one, he has a 7.17 ERA on the year including a 16.62 ERA in his lone road start. He has bee hit hard in three of his last four starts in San Diego and Milwaukee is 3-9 in his last 12 road starts against teams with a losing road record. 3* (962) San Diego Padres -Matt Fargo

The Clippers went 17-16 ATS at home and a polar opposite 16-17 ATS on the road while averaging 97.5 points per contest (14th) and shooting a solid 45.5 percent from the field (10th). L.A. finished 22nd in rebounding (41.6 rpg). Defensively, the Clippers allowed 95.0 points per game (13th) and 14th in defensive field goal percentage (44.7).

The Clippers had a whopping six players average double figures in scoring this season, led by Blake Griffin’s 20.7 points per game and Chris Paul’s 19.8 points per contest.

The Memphis Grizzlies caught fire late in the regular season to become the team that no one wants to face this postseason (again). The Grizz have won six straight and eight of its L/10 games.

Memphis averaged just 95.0 points per game (20th) while making 44.7 percent of their field goal attempts (16th) and 32.6 percent of their three-point attempts (25th).

Defense however, was a strong suit for the Grizzlies as they gave up just 93.0 points per game (fifth) while limiting their opponents to just 44.4 percent shooting (12th) and 34.5 percent from beyond the arc (11th). The Grizzlies had five double-digit scorers this season, led by Rudy Gay’s 19.0 points per contest.

L.A. averaged 97.3 points per game (15th) but shot the ball well from the field tin finishing eighth in field goal percentage (45.7). Three-point shooting was a weakness with the Lakers shooting just 32.5 percent beyond the arc (26th). Defensively, the Lakers ranked 15th in points allowed (95.9 ppg) and an impressive ninth in field goal shooting percentage (43.7).

The Dallas Mavericks (36-30 SU, 32-34 ATS, 33-33 O/U) may be the defending champions, but the Oklahoma City Thunder (47-19 SU, 35-31 ATS, 31-35 O/U) have plans on vanquishing them in this first round matchup.

The Mavericks limp into the postseason having lost two straight and four of its L/6 games overall while finishing 19th in scoring (95.8 ppg), 19th in field goal percentage (44.3) and 20th in three-point shooting percentage.

Defensively, the Mavs finished an identical 12th in points allowed (94.8 ppg) and three-point field goal defense. Dallas had four double-digit scorers on its roster, led by Dirk Nowitzki’s 21.6 points per contest.

NBA gamblers won’t have a tough time at all in picking the winner of this series, with the Orlando Magic (37-29 SU, 34-32 ATS, 33-31-2 O/U) falling completely apart late this season after losing all-star center Dwight Howard to a back injury. Even if Howard were available for this series, the dysfunctional Magic have some very serious problems and will be facing a really good Indiana Pacers (42-24 SU, 32-34 ATS, 34-30-2 O/U) team that hits the postseason having won eight of its L/10 games.

Orlando went 17-16 ATS at home this season and 18-13-2 ATS on the road while averaging just 94.2 points per game (21st) and allowing 93.4 per game defensively (seventh).

With Howard out for the remainder of the postseason, the Magic are led in scoring by forward Ryan Anderson (16.1 ppg). Four other players also averaged double figures for Orlando.

The Pacers went 15-16 ATS at home this season and a solid 17-16 ATS mark on the road while averaging 97.7 points per game this season (13th) and allowing just 94.4 points per game defensively (10th). Indiana put the clamps on its opponents in forcing them into 43.5 percent shooting from the field (6th). The Pacers had five players average double figures in scoring, led by Danny Granger’s 18.7 points per contest.

Here is a look at the key ATS and O/U trends for both ballclubs this season.

Playoffs Prediction & Odds
CLICK HERE FOR EXPERT NBA PLAYOFFS PICKS

The New York Knicks (36-30 SU, 36-30 ATS, 27-39 O/U) feel like they can hang with the Miami Heat (46-20 SU, 34-32 ATS, 25-39-2 O/U) – and their recent play – suggest they may be able to.

New York has won three straight and five of its last half-dozen games and seven of its L/9 games overall while Miami dropped three of its L/4 regular season games while mostly resting their overworked trio of stars.

Still, Miami won all three regular season meetings against the Knicks while covering the spread in each of the last two meetings.

The Knicks went 21-12 ATS at home this season but just 15-18 ATS on the road while averaging 97.8 points per game (11th) and allowing just 94.7 points per game defensively.

New York has played much better – particularly at the defensive end of the floor – since veteran head coach Mike Woodson took over for former coach Mike D’Antoni. To illustrate this point, the Knicks held seven of their final 10 opponents to less than 100 points.
The Knicks had five players average double figures in scoring this season, led by Carmelo Anthony’s 22.6 points per game.

Miami averaged 98.5 point per game this season (7th) while limiting their opponents to just 92.5 points per game defensively on 43.4 percent shooting from the field (fifth). The heat went 18-15 ATS at home this season but just 14-19 ATS on the road.

The Heat got 27.1 points per game from LeBron James, 22.1 ppg from Dwyane Wade and 18.0 ppg from Chris Bosh, but no other player managed to reach double figures in scoring for Miami this season.

Here is a look at the key ATS and O/U trends for both ballclubs this season.

Knicks are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 playoff games as an underdog.
