MLB Betting Preview
Atlanta Braves at Arizona Diamondbacks
Saturday, 4:10 pm Eastern – Fox

The Atlanta Braves and Arizona Diamondbacks get the spotlight on Fox television on Saturday afternoon. Javier Vazquez gets the start for the Braves while Doug Davis takes the hill for Arizona. Vazquez is 4-4 on the season with a 3.80 ERA while Davis is 2-6 with a 3.77 ERA.

Check out the current line for this game at SBG Global.

Vazquez has been up and down this season for the Braves, allowing five earned runs or more in three of his past six starts and two earned runs or less in the other three starts. The last time he faced Arizona he went seven innings and allowed just two earned runs in a no-decision.

Davis has pitched well this season but hasn’t been rewarded. He allowed just one run in his last start in seven innings against San Diego but the bullpen collapsed and he was denied a win.

The Diamondbacks have struggled this season in large part due to an anemic offense and the fact that Brandon Webb hasn’t pitched much. Webb is getting closer to returning though and he would be a welcome sight for the Diamondbacks. "He's inching back there, day-by-day," Arizona manager A.J. Hinch said, "Once we get him on the mound, we'll build his pitch count up, pitch him in a few [Minor League] games and hopefully we can activate him." Yusmeiro Petit, Bryan Augenstein and Billy Buckner have started in place of Webb this season. They have made nine starts and have a combined 6.80 ERA. Arizona is 2-7 in those games.

Here are the MLB Betting stats for Saturday’s game. Before Friday’s game the Braves were 0-5 in their last 5 vs. the National League West.

The Diamondbacks are 5-1 in their last 6 vs. the National League East. The Diamondbacks are 2-5 in their last 7 home games. The Diamondbacks are 1-5 in Davis' last 6 home starts. The Diamondbacks are 0-6 in Davis' last 6 starts vs. the National League East.

The Over is 6-0 in the Braves last 6 road games vs. a left-handed starter. The Over is 4-1 in the Diamondbacks last 5 home games. The Over is 4-1 in the Diamondbacks last 5 games vs. a right-handed starter. The Under is 7-0 in Davis' last 7 Saturday starts.

Stanley Cup Finals Preview


Stanley Cup Finals Preview
Pittsburgh Penguins at Detroit Red Wings (Game 1)
Saturday, 8:05 pm Eastern – NBC, CBC

SBG Global Opening Line: Red Wings - 165 , Total 6 Under - 130

For the first time since 1983-84 the Stanley Cup Finals feature a rematch as the Detroit Red Wings face the Pittsburgh Penguins. Detroit will try and repeat their success of last season and become the first team to repeat since 1997-98. It will not be easy for Detroit since Pittsburgh looks superior to last year as Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin have been dominant, combining for 26 goals and 30 assists in their 17 playoff games.

SBG Global reports that early Hockey betting has the public taking Penguins on the Road.

The Stanley Cup Finals could be high scoring with Detroit having the #1 offense in the NHL this season while the Penguins have the two leading scorers. The matchup in goal is the same as it was a year ago. Chris Osgood has better numbers in the playoffs than Marc-Andre Fleury but it is close.

There are two big keys for Detroit in this series. The first is their health. Niklas Lidstrom is expected to return for this series as is Pavel Datsyuk. For the Red Wings to win this series they will need both players at full strength. The second issue for the Red Wings is the schedule. The NHL is forcing the teams to play back-to-back games on Saturday and Sunday and that is not in the favor of Detroit. "We've got a short break, but hopefully we can manage to get some guys healthy, get guys back," said Wings goalie Chris Osgood.
Detroit will also have to find a way to contain Crosby and Malkin if they hope to win this series. "Crosby and Malkin are running away with the scoring lead in the playoffs and if we let them continue to run wild, it will be hard for us to win the series," Detroit General manager Ken Holland said, "You can't stop players that good, but we can't let them do what they did against Carolina."

Here are the Hockey betting stats for Saturday’s game. The Penguins are 4-0 in their last 4 road games. The Penguins are 28-10 in their last 38 overall. The Penguins are 4-10 in the last 14 meetings between the two teams.

SBG Global Current Line: Red Wings - 155 , Total 5.5 Over - 125

The Red Wings are 12-3 in their last 15 Stanley Cup Finals games. The Red Wings are 19-7 in their last 26 vs. the Atlantic.

The Over is 4-0 in the Penguins last 4 games as a road underdog. The Over is 6-2-1 in the Penguins last 9 vs. the Central. The Under is 5-1-2 in the Red Wings last 8 Stanley Cup Finals games. The Under is 6-2-2 in the last 10 meetings between the two teams.

NBA Playoff Preview


NBA Playoff Preview
Cleveland Cavaliers at Orlando Magic (Magic lead 3-2)
Saturday, 8:35 pm Eastern – TNT

SBG Global Opening Line: Magic - 2 , Total 192

The Cleveland Cavaliers are not done yet. The Cavaliers got a monster game out of LeBron James and won Game 5 at home against the Orlando Magic and now they will try and even the series on Saturday. James had 37 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists while Mo Williams added 24 points in Cleveland’s 112-102 win on Thursday.

SBG Global reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Magic at Home.

The game on Saturday should be exciting as the Magic look to close out the Cavaliers. Cleveland is trying to become just the ninth team since 1947 to win a best-of-seven series after trailing 3-1. "They deserved to get this one," Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said, "As poorly as I thought we played, we still were there with chances to win and didn't get it done. We have to get ready to go on Saturday."

The game on Saturday will come down to Orlando’s ability to keep James under control, something they have rarely done. "The game is basically all LeBron, all the time," Van Gundy said. "If he gets in the paint, it's automatically a foul. One of the things we have to do, we can't keep putting him on the line 20 times a game. We have to find a way to stop that."

Here are the NBA betting stats for Saturday’s game. The Cavaliers are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 Saturday games. The Cavaliers are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 road games. The Cavaliers are 2-14 ATS in the last 16 meetings against Orlando and the Cavaliers are 0-5 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Orlando

SBG Global Current Line: Magic - 2 , Total 193

The Magic are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games. The Magic are 42-20-1 ATS in their last 63 Saturday games.

The Over is 7-1 in the Cavaliers last 8 Conference Finals games. The Under is 5-1 in the Cavaliers last 6 road games. The Under is 27-10 in Orlando’s last 37 games as a home favorite. The Over is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings between the two teams.

MLB Betting Preview
Cincinnati Reds (26-20) at Milwaukee Brewers (27-20)
Friday, 8:05 pm Eastern


SBG Global Opening Line: Reds - 117 , Total 8.5 Flat

An interesting three-game series in the National League Central begins on Friday night as the Milwaukee Brewers host the Cincinnati Reds. The Brewers have fallen to second place in the division while the Reds are right on their heels, just a half game back.

SBG Global reports that early MLB Betting has the public taking Reds on the Road.

The Brewers have struggled of late, mainly because they aren’t scoring any runs. Milwaukee lost Rickie Weeks for the season and J.J. Hardy and Ryan Braun have missed games this week. "There are absolutely no excuses when you go out and play - you go out and you lay it out there and your results are your results," manager Ken Macha said, "(But) our travel and sleep (and) rest situations over these last nine games have been difficult." Milwaukee is hitting just .204 in their past six games. It may not get any better on Friday against Johnny Cueto who is 4-2 with a 2.37 ERA this season. Last year Cueto was 1-0 with a 2.79 ERA in three starts against the Brewers.

The Reds won their last four games on their homestand and now they head out on the road. "We came in here and took care of business," said Cincinnati’s Jay Bruce, "We'll go on the road on a roll with some momentum. We plan on coming back (home) in first place." That could happen considering the Reds are 13-8 on the road this season. They will face Braden Looper on Friday. Looper is 4-3 with a 4.47 ERA this season for the Brewers.

Here are the MLB Betting stats for Friday’s game. The Reds are 4-0 in their last 4 overall. The Reds are 6-1 in their last 7 vs. the National League Central. The Reds are 4-0 in Cueto’s last 4 road starts. The Reds are 8-3 in the last 11 meetings in Milwaukee.

The Brewers are 18-6 in their last 24 games as a home favorite. The Brewers are 1-5 in their last 6 games vs. a right-handed starter. The Brewers are 4-1 in Looper’s last 5 home starts.

The Over is 7-1 in the Reds last 8 vs. the National League Central. The Under is 12-5-1 in the Reds last 18 road games. The Under is 11-2-1 in Cueto’s last 14 road starts.

SBG Global Current Line: Reds - 115 , Total 8.5 Flat

The Under is 4-1 in the Brewers last 5 overall. The Under is 10-4 in the Brewers last 14 home games. The Under is 4-1 in Looper’s last 5 starts as an underdog. The Over is 5-2-2 in the last 9 meetings in Milwaukee.

NBA Playoff Preview
Los Angeles Lakers at Denver Nuggets (Lakers lead 3-2)
Friday, 9:05 pm Eastern – ESPN

SBG Global Opening Line: Nuggets - 5 , Total 208

The Los Angeles Lakers will try and close out the Denver Nuggets in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals on Friday. The Nuggets have outplayed the Lakers for the most part in this series but at critical times they have made mistakes and they trail three games to two. "For most of the series, we outplayed them for most stretches of the game," Denver’s Chauncey Billups said. "We just couldn't get over the hump in the fourth quarter in a few different situations."

SBG Global reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Lakers on the Road.

The Nuggets have not played with much discipline in this series and it has cost them but head coach George Karl is not going to do anything different on Friday. "You guys are almost saying you've got to have savvy and poise to be a championship team," Karl told reporters, "I mean, you think the Detroit Pistons have the poise that the San Antonio Spurs have? No, I mean there's a different way of handling emotional, passionate, intense players. We have some guys who are emotional. Maybe a little too emotional. But for me, I'm not going to tell them to stop that because I think that stops them from becoming a competitor.”

The Lakers have been so unpredictable in the playoffs that anything is possible in Game 6. If Los Angeles brings their best game they could end this series but rarely have the Lakers played great in back-to-back games.
"That's what the conversation has been about this entire postseason, our team, our potential and our capabilities," Derek Fisher said.

Here are the NBA betting stats for Friday’s game. The Lakers are 21-8-2 ATS in their last 31 games as a road underdog. The Lakers are 12-5 ATS in the last 17 meetings between the two teams.

The Nuggets are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games as a home favorite. The Nuggets are 21-6 ATS in their last 27 games overall.

SBG Global Current Line: Nuggets - 5.5 , Total 208.5

The Under is 9-1 in the Lakers last 10 Conference Finals games. The Under is 11-4 in the Lakers last 15 road games.

The Over is 11-5 in the Nuggets last 16 games as a home favorite. The Under is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings in Denver between the two teams.

MLS Betting Preview - Chicago vs. Chivas USA


MLS Soccer Preview
Chicago (4-0-6) at Chivas USA (7-1-3)
Thursday, 10:30 pm Eastern – ESPN 2

A premier matchup is on tap for Thursday night in Los Angeles as the two conference leaders do battle in a prime time game on ESPN 2. The Fire are the last remaining unbeaten team in the Soccer Betting MLS while Chivas has just one loss on the season. The game will match Chicago’s league leading offense against Chivas’ league leading defense.

Chivas is a -220 favorite with a total of 2.5 at SBG Global.

Chivas leads the Western Conference with 24 points in 11 matches. They are eight points clear of second place Seattle. Chivas has played two consecutive draws after winning three straight matches.

The matchup on Thursday should be a good draw since there are a number of Mexican players on both teams. "It's an enticing game.” Chivas’ Eduardo Lillingston said, “These are two of the best teams in the league, each with some big-name players. [It's] going to be a great match."

The Fire have 18 points in their 10 matches to lead the Eastern Conference. They are two points ahead of D.C. United and Toronto FC. The Fire are unbeaten in their 10 matches including a 1-0 win at New York last Sunday.
"I'm excited we got three points on the road. Our guys got a goal and it was nice we could win a 1-0 game.” Coach Denis Hamlett said, “We had some big saves by our goalkeeper. All throughout the back group all the way up to the front guys, they did the extra stuff to make sure we got out of here with the three points.” Goaltender Jon Busch made a season-high 10 saves in the victory. "It's my time to step up. Each week, someone has to step up and today, I guess it was my day. My job is to make saves and catch crosses and I did my job. I don't think it was spectacular, it's my job. That's what I get paid to do, so I did it," Busch said.

The Fire are two games away from the Soccer Betting Galaxy’s record of 12 games without a loss to start the season set in 1996. "We don't talk about being undefeated," said Hamlett. "We just talk about just going out and doing things and improving from our last game to become better."

Chicago and Chivas have met eight times in history with Chivas getting four wins while Chicago has three. They have played to one draw. At Chivas, it is Chivas going 2-1-1 in the four meetings. Last year the teams split their two meetings, with each team winning on the road. Four of the last seven matches between the two teams have ended in 1-0 scores.

MLB Betting Preview - Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Chicago Cubs


MLB Betting Preview
Los Angeles Dodgers (33-15) at Chicago Cubs (23-22)
Thursday, 8:05 pm Eastern

SBG Global Opening Line: Cubs - 122 , Total TBA

The Los Angeles Dodgers will try and extend their winning streak to four games as they begin a series with the Chicago Cubs on Thursday. The Dodgers have the best record in baseball and haven’t missed a beat, even without Manny Ramirez in the lineup. Juan Pierre has taken Ramirez’s place and the Dodgers are scoring even more runs. Pierre is hitting .410 since taking over in left field. "He's shown us so much more production and so much more pop," manager Joe Torre said, "He was certainly ready for this when it presented itself."

SBG Global reports that early MLB Betting has the public taking Dodgers on the Road.

The Dodgers are very happy that Pierre has gotten the chance to play. "The thing you really respect about him more than anything is his work ethic. He's a good team person. Last year, I asked him to help with the younger players, and knowing that Matt Kemp was playing his position didn't keep him from going over and trying to help this young man. I think everybody's happy for him right now." Torre said.

The Cubs seemed to have righted the ship after losing eight straight as they won the last two games in their series against Pittsburgh. The Cubs made a number of moves on Wednesday, one of which paid off immediately. They called up Jake Fox, who was leading the Pacific Coast League in hitting and they also called up left-handed reliever Jason Waddell and infielder Andres Blanco on Wednesday as they sent Neal Cotts and Bobby Scales to Triple-A Iowa. Fox immediately came in on Wednesday and delivered a pinch hit RBI single. "He gives us a good bat coming off the bench, a power bat," Cubs manager Lou Piniella said. "We haven't had that. This gives us more firepower."

The Dodgers send Randy Wolf to the mound on Thursday. He is 2-1 with a 3.02 ERA this season. He is tied for the Major League lead with seven no-decisions this season.

Randy Wells gets the call for Chicago. He is 0-1 with a 1.50 ERA this season. Wells has done well in the rotation taking the place of Carlos Zambrano and now Rich Harden.

SBG Global Current Line: Cubs - 122 , Total TBA

Here are the MLB Betting stats for Thursday’s game. The Dodgers are 6-2 in their last 8 games vs. a right-handed starter. The Dodgers are 4-1 in Wolf’s last 5 starts. The Dodgers are 5-1 in the last 6 meetings between the two teams.

The Cubs are 17-8 in their last 25 games vs. a left-handed starter.

The Over is 4-1-1 in the Dodgers last 6 road games. The Under is 6-2 in the Cubs last 8 overall. The Over is 7-3-1 in the Cubs last 11 games vs. a left-handed starter.

NBA Betting Preview - Orlando Magic vs. Cleveland Cavaliers


NBA Playoff Preview
Orlando Magic at Cleveland Cavaliers (Magic lead 3-1)
Thursday, 8:35 pm Eastern – TNT

SBG Global Opening Line: Cavaliers - 7.5 , Total 190

The Orlando Magic are one win away from returning to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1994-95. The Magic will try and close out the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Magic got an exciting 116-114 overtime win on Tuesday as Dwight Howard scored 27 points, 10 in overtime, to lead the Magic past LeBron James and the Cavaliers. "We're up 3-1, but we can't relax," Orlando’s Rashard Lewis said, "Anything can happen. We got to go to Cleveland looking to try and close these guys out." The Magic have already proven they can win on the road in the playoffs as they eliminated the Celtics in Game 7 in the last round and they nearly took both of the first two games in Cleveland in this series.

SBG Global reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Magic on the Road.

The Cavaliers are likely to be very inspired to extend the series on Thursday. Cleveland had the best home record in the NBA this season and it is unlikely that LeBron James will go quietly. He is averaging 42.3 points, 7.3 rebound and 7.3 assists in the series. "I'm up for the challenge," James said. "And I think my play, my leadership has spoke for that. So I will be ready, and I think our guys will be ready also."

The Magic are well aware that this series if far from over. "This thing is a long, long, long way from over, just like the games in this series have been," Orlando head coach Stan Van Gundy said, "When you've got a guy as great as him on the other side, you're a long way from done."

History is on Orlando’s side though. A total of 190 teams have taken a 3-1 series lead and only eight of them have lost. The other main problem for Cleveland is that they simply don’t matchup well with Orlando. The Magic have won 10 of the past 14 games against Cleveland.

Here are the NBA betting stats for Thursday’s game. The Magic are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 playoff games as an underdog. The Magic are 7-0 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Cleveland.

SBG Global Current Line: Cavaliers - 7.5 , Total 190

The Cavaliers are 14-4-1 ATS in their last 19 playoff games as a favorite. The Cavaliers are 36-16 ATS in their last 52 games as a home favorite.

The Under is 23-11 in Orlando’s last 34 overall. The Over is 6-1 in the Cavaliers last 7 Conference Finals games. The Under is 14-6-1 in the Cavaliers last 21 games as a home favorite. The Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between the two teams.

Tampa Bay Rays (23-23) at Cleveland Indians (17-28)


MLB Betting Preview
Tampa Bay Rays (23-23) at Cleveland Indians (17-28)
Monday, 6:05 pm Eastern

SBG Global Opening Line: Indians - 110 , Total 9.5 Flat





David Price will make his season debut for the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday as he gets the start in Cleveland. Price was great last year in the AL Championship Series against Boston but upper management still believed he needed to start this season in Triple A. "He's a unique young man, and he thrives under this kind of situation," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "I know he definitely feels like he belongs here, and those are the kind of things you want."

SBG Global reports that early MLB Betting has the public taking Rays on the Road.

Tampa Bay has had all kinds of trouble in Cleveland recently, losing their last 13 games there. That streak should end though as Tampa has the better team as they proved earlier this year when they took three of four from the Indians in Tampa Bay.

Fausto Carmona gets the start for the Indians on Monday. Carmona is 2-4 with a 5.74 ERA this season. He is 2-1 with a 5.51 ERA in his career against Tampa Bay.

The Indians come off a 4-6 road trip so they should be happy to get home.
"The bullpen's done a good job lately," Cleveland manager Eric Wedge said. "The difference in this game (Sunday’s loss) was not getting the big hit."

Here are the MLB Betting stats for Monday’s game. The Rays are 4-0 in their last 4 games vs. a right-handed starter. The Rays are 2-6 in their last 8 games as a road favorite. The Rays are 11-28 in the last 39 meetings in Cleveland.

The Indians are 2-5 in their last 7 home games. The Indians are 1-4 in their last 5 vs. the American League East. The Indians are 13-6 in Carmona’s last 19 starts vs. the American League East.

The Over is 4-0 in the Rays last 4 overall. The Over is 4-1 in the Rays last 5 vs. the American League Central.

SBG Global Current Line: Indians - 110 , Total 9.5 Over - 120

The Over is 5-1 in the Indians last 6 games vs. a left-handed starter. The Over is 16-5 in the Indians last 21 vs. the American League East. The Over is 14-3 in Carmona’s last 17 starts as a favorite. The Under is 11-4-1 in the last 16 meetings in Cleveland between the two teams.

Los Angeles Lakers at Denver Nuggets (Lakers lead 2-1)

NBA Playoff Preview
Los Angeles Lakers at Denver Nuggets (Lakers lead 2-1)
Monday, 9:05 pm Eastern – ESPN










SBG Global Opening Line: Nuggets - 4.5 , Total 209.5

The Denver Nuggets suddenly face a must-win game on Monday night as they host the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals. The Nuggets were surprised at home in Game 3 as the Lakers won 103-97 to take a 2-1 series lead. It was the first loss at home in more than two months for Denver.

SBG Global reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Nuggets at Home.

The Nuggets shot the ball poorly in Game 3 and shot way too many 3-pointers. "We'd go up seven, eight points and trying to get the building to erupt," Denver’s Kenyon Martin said. "We've done that so much during the season and throughout the playoffs. So, we figured that's the way it was going to be. And it's not always going to be that way. You've got to grind it out sometimes, take the tough two or get to the line and score points that way." The Nuggets left the Lakers in the game and Kobe Bryant took over late to win the game for Los Angeles. "I think we got caught up in the emotion of the moment of a great crowd, a great challenge," Nuggets coach George Karl said. "I think we tried to hit too many home runs rather than just take a single here, a double here and win the game that way. We tried to hit too many bombs.”

The mistakes that the Nuggets made cost them home court advantage which they had gained by winning Game 2 in Los Angeles. Now they must win on Monday to have any kind of chance to win this series.
The Lakers realize they were fortunate to win on Saturday and know they must play better. "We've got to come out with more focus, more energy and really just execute a lot better in the defensive end of the floor," said Bryant.

Here are the NBA betting stats for Monday’s game. The Lakers are 21-7-2 ATS in their last 30 games as a road underdog. The Lakers are 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Denver.

The Nuggets are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 home games. The Nuggets are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 games overall.

SBG Global Current Line: Nuggets - 4.5 , Total 208.5

The Under is 6-0 in the Lakers last 6 vs. the Northwest. The Under is 8-0 in the Lakers last 8 Conference Finals games. The Under is 5-1 in the Lakers last 6 road games. The Under is 6-0 in the last 6 meetings in Denver between the two teams.

Los Angeles Lakers at Denver Nuggets (Series tied 1-1)
Saturday, 8:30 pm Eastern – ABC



SBG Global Opening Line: Nuggets - 3.5 , Total 211

The Denver Nuggets finally found a way to beat the Los Angeles Lakers in the playoffs as they took Game 2 by a score of 106-103 on Thursday. Now they will try and take control of the Western Conference Finals as the series moves to Denver for Game 3 on Saturday.

SBG Global reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Nuggets at Home.

The Nuggets got 34 points from Carmelo Anthony and 27 points from Chauncey Billups in Game 2. Now the Nuggets get to go home where they have not lost since early March. Getting the win on Thursday was huge for Denver since they now have the home court edge. "There was just a demand that we had to win this game," head coach George Karl said. "There was an inner spirit. We're a much more smart, mentally tough team than you look at last year and what we are now. It's a great win."

The Lakers dropped to 7-2 at home in the playoffs and now they will have to find a way to win on the road. "They have home court advantage now. Now it's time to go to Denver, see if we can do the same," the Lakers Kobe Bryant said, "We're not the best road team in the NBA for no reason." (The Lakers were 29-12 on the road during the regular season.)

Here are the NBA betting stats for Saturday’s game. The Lakers are 20-7-2 ATS in their last 29 games as a road underdog. The Lakers are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 Conference Finals games. The Lakers are 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings between the two teams.

The Nuggets are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games as a home favorite. The Nuggets are 22-6 ATS in their last 28 games overall.

MLB Betting Preview
Philadelphia Phillies at New York Yankees
Saturday, 4:10 pm Eastern – Fox








An intriguing Interleague matchup takes place on Saturday afternoon in New York as the Yankees host the Philadelphia Phillies. The pitching matchup on Saturday has J.A. Happ going for the Phillies while the Yankees counter with Andy Pettitte.

Check out the current line for this game at SBG Global.

Happ is 2-0 on the season with a 2.49 ERA while Pettitte is 4-1 with a 4.18 ERA. This is Happ’s first start of the season as he replaces Chan Ho Park in the Phillies rotation.

Pettite has picked up four wins this season and usually keeps the Yankees in the game. He gave up four runs in his last outing against the Twins but picked up the victory.

The Yankees have been a very successful team in Interleague play going 123-87 before Friday’s game. The Phillies have not had as much success going 90-109. Last year the Phillies were just 4-11 in Interleague play. The Yankees were 10-8 against the Phillies all-time before the series began on Friday, not including the 1950 World Series. Philadelphia has not played in New York since 2000. "Going to New York is always something special," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "The old Yankee Stadium definitely had a real feel to it. I'm sure this one will have a good feel. They're hitting a lot of home runs there. Hopefully we can tee off on some."

Cole Hamels will be the starter on Sunday and he would have preferred to pitch in the old Yankee Stadium. "It will be nice to see the nice, new stadium," said Hamels, "Kind of see what they have. But I wish I would have been able to pitch in the old Yankee Stadium."

Here are the MLB Betting stats for Saturday’s game. The Phillies are 6-1 in their last 7 road games vs. a left-handed starter. The Phillies are 4-1 in their last 5 Interleague games. The Phillies are 23-9 in their last 32 road games.

The Yankees are 54-20 in their last 74 interleague home games. The Yankees are 7-2 in Pettitte’s last 9 starts.

The Over is 4-1 in the Phillies last 5 games vs. a left-handed starter. The Under is 11-4-2 in the Yankees last 17 home games vs. a left-handed starter. The Over is 5-2-1 in Pettitte’s last 8 home starts.

I definitely have to try to find a way to get some shots." Chicago was able to come from behind in their last series against Vancouver but doing it against the defending Stanley Cup Champion Red Wings is another story. "It's a race to four wins, but it's good to get the first one," Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom said.


Here are the Hockey betting stats for Tuesday’s game. The Blackhawks are 6-2 in their last 8 vs. the Central. The Blackhawks are 14-6 in their last 20 overall.The Blackhawks are 5-16 in the last 21 meetings in Detroit.

WSOP TEAM LEAGUE @ POKER HOST

WSOP TEAM LEAGUE @ POKER HOST

WSOP TEAM LEAGUE @ POKER HOST


The WSOP TEAM LEAGUE that was played on Poker Host was great for all to play in there was some great play and friendships were formed . Let start with saying congrats to Kamikaze Poker League on there win and there solid play . The event started with 19 teams trying to win the prize package to Las Vegas to play in the WSOP . When the first game started it was very fast paced and finished rather quickly and the race was on to see who could be the winning team . The Games where broadcasted on the On Tilt Radio which was a great thing for the whole game series and there team finished in fourth place in the final standings , congrats to them . Now with all the teams that played there was only one forum that had two teams in it Team Gwaaan and Team Gwaaan 2 both of which where playing against there own forum members and all of the other teams also . Team gwaaan after the first event were the top team and team gwaan2 was the bottom team , but after the first game that’s when the 8 game series really started to take shape . The people at POKER HOST had done a great job of putting all of this together in just a short time and making it a great place to play other players from all over the world . The games to follow just got better and POKER HOST did a radio broadcast and let the rest of the players know how much they put into getting it all put together . We also had some great individual play by some good players , like chiv gent from team gwaaan , omgmad from team gwaaan 2 , PrestoOTR from on tilt radio , and OGHowie282 from pocketfivers from bodonk , all of the teams had some good players on them . While these players did a great job for there teams they also should some good skills at the tables . There was also some good friends that where made from all of the forms that played , and now that the games are done with , the crossing over from forum to forum has stayed intact . There was some good rivalries brought out in the games also , team gwaaan against team Ray101bassman which is a whole another story , the battle between team gwaaan and team gwaaan 2 also had some good players trying to do better than the next player and the two team captains tubbs1 an ellsygwaan also had to battle for the bragging rights of the forum . There was several hands that where team 1 and team 2 with them athe only ones in the hand like tubbs1 against mrgatorman with gator holding K4 suited and tubbs holding pocket pairs and the flop came K 4 K and that was it gatorman won they hand with full house and tubbs with 2 pairs . There were many hands like that one team after the other team trying to out do the other and for the most part it was just about even with team 2 finishing the 8 games in 12 place and team 1 in 14 place . With all that said it was good for POKER HOST and for all the forums that had teams in it .
