News and Notes For Thursday

Thursday, May 11,
2006

 

Godspicks clients have been saying for years and years, thank Godsey that only a small percentage of games go
to OT or extra innings.  I have no
explanation as to how we can be some dominant in every sport, yet when a game
goes beyond regulation, we have no chance.

Despite a 3 OT loss, we win in all three sports, going 2-0 in the NBA led by a
Wise Guy on
Miami.  Dandy Dogs on Minnesota and KC in MLB and a Wise Guy
Dandy Dog on
Carolina +200 in the NHL give
your man a splitting headache.

Tonight it’s one of those days that help make us famous:
quality over quantity.  We do have a night baseball
underdog
as the strongest play on the board to start out your
weekend pass. The ENTIRE card  is just $17 at www.godspicks.com.  Alternate
forms of payment
are available
.

MLB

·       
Perez 1-5 team record to Arizona

·       
Pittsburgh
1-6 w/Perez whose ERA is 7.71

·       
Houston
5-2 with Rodriquez

·       
Peavy 1-3 team record
to Milwaukee

·       
Cubs 5-1 with Marshall,
whose ERA is 3.12

·       
Mets over 5-1 with Trachsel

·       
Washington
over 4-1 with Day

·       
Hudson
3-0 team record to Florida

·       
Escobar 0-4 personal record to White Sox

·       
Yanks under 4-1 with Chacon

·       
Boston
under 5-2 with Wakefield

 

Personal record is a pitcher’s record in his
decisions.  Team record is how the team
did in his starts.

Two Dandy Dogs Highlight Daytime Sweep!!!

Perhaps you missed our daytime sweep, 3-0 but including TWO Dandy Dogs. Don’t worry, still much money to be made tonight. Don’t be on the outside looking in. Two NBA, including a Wise Guy. Two NHL including a Wise Guy and five MLB are on the NIGHT card.
The ENTIRE card is just $17 at www.godspicks.com. Alternate forms of payment are available. Godspicks is proud to be part of the Handicapper’s Sampler rundown of which sports services are hot and who has the big play at JoeDuffy.net
Here’s what you got (or did you miss out?) this afternoon:
MINNESOTA (LOHSE +150) Texas (Padilla)
Texas has lost 4-of-5. Minnesota after a horrible start is 5-3 their last eight. Vincente Padilla has a 1.890 WHIP in his last three starts.
KANSAS CITY (ELARTON +143) Cleveland (Westbrook)
KC is 4-1 to Cleveland +5.7 (5-21 to everyone else). Elarton has been excellent with a 3.86 ERA and 1.286 WHIP. In his last three his WHIP is .978. Elarton has a team record of 3-0 to KC +3.7.
ST. LOUIS (SUPPAN -151) Colorado (Kim)
This is a competitor consensus. If we do not have a lean towards one side but it does not rise to the level of premium play, but get a strong play or consensus from the few other handicappers we respect, we pass it as a “competitor consensus”.

Wednesday Day and Night Stuff

NBA

LA Clippers-Phoenix UNDER 216

Part of the success is handicapping is not only ignoring
which play may be “easier” to root for but to acknowledge the oddsmakers
already know Joeybagofdonuts can’t beat to considering betting a Phoenix game
under right now, hence great value.

There is no fun in betting an under in a game that you
know could be on pace to go way under for 40 minutes and you have to sweat the
end.

To survive this long, both teams have had success making
proper adjustments and there is no question each team is focused on the
defensive end.  LA is hell bent on
slowing the pace, but Phoenix
allowed LA to force their will on Phoenix
inside in Game 1.

Both coaches stressed working on defensive lapses and with
such a nutty total, we look for a high scoring game,
yet still go under. That’s the magic of high totals.

Remember the second you buy a sports service play, you
will know if they did their homework. If they researched the games, they will
be happy to show it off in the analysis. America’s
greatest sports service the Dream Team at Godspicks.com gives you winners like
this every day.

notes ready for opening lines at blog on our home
page. 

Nets-Heat

NY Times

Jefferson was limping slightly when
he walked into American Airlines Arena on Tuesday, and the Nets listed him as
doubtful for Game 2 on Wednesday. He wore a medical boot on his right foot and
did not practice. Jefferson, who scored 20 points in Game 1, said that his
ankle was bothering him, but that he was not in severe pain.

“It’s gotten better,” he said. “It’s just a matter of will
it be good enough at 7 o’clock to go
do what I normally do. I really want to play. I’ve never missed a playoff game
before. I want to keep that going.” Jefferson said the fact that the Nets had
gained home-court advantage by winning Game 1 would not factor into his decision.Jefferson’s matchup against Miami’s Antoine Walker
could be one of the Nets’ most favorable, and they need him if they are to
continue putting pressure on the Heat. The Nets have won four consecutive games
against Miami, including the
regular season. The Nets are aware that some elements of Game 1 will probably
not hold up throughout the series: their 71.4 percent shooting in the first
quarter, and 48.6 percent for the game; Heat center Shaquille O’Neal’s
foul trouble, which limited him to fewer than 30 minutes; the disappearance of Dwyane Wade, who was scoreless for Miami in the final 12
minutes; and the Heat’s nine first-quarter turnovers, which helped the Nets
jump to a 17-point lead

Clippers-Suns

Associated Press

The Suns, averaging 122 points during their current
four-game playoff winning streak, try to go up 2-0 on the Los Angeles Clippers
on Wednesday night in the Western Conference semifinals. While the Clippers
failed to slow the Suns, Phoenix
couldn’t handle Brand, either. He made 18 of 22 shots, and most of them weren’t
easy ones.

 

All trends are ATS

·       
Miami
is 1-14 off a double digit loss as home favorites since 1996

·       
LAC 18-8 in revenge

·       
LAC have gone under 18-3 the last two years
after 215 or more points were scored

 

MLB

·       
Glavine has a 32-19
team record to Philly

·       
Lidle is 4-1 to Atlanta

·       
Hernandez has a 3-7 team record to Cincinnati

·

NBA

CLEVELAND +11’ Detroit

Like we mentioned before Game 1 on our way to a Godspicks
Premium play winner, Cleveland was
facing a brutal task off their nail biting emotional series against the Wizard
Bullets. Detroit
got their attention in Game 1. Cleveland
is in the position where they certainly want to avoid a second blowout so
clearly they have more motivation to keep it competitive than Detroit
does to blow out the Cavs.

Detroit is
actually only 4-6 SU in Game 2s, not a huge shock because it’s a game in which
situations apply like tonight—teams put all their eggs into the emotional
basket and pull off an upset.

We look for the Cavs to scratch until the end and make it
very interesting.

NBA

Here are news and notes from Godspicks.com private
clipboard.  They are compiled from
hometown newspapers and the team’s own press releases.

Cavaliers-Pistons

Canton Repository

The 3-point onslaught by Detroit
in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals was a team effort and more than
enough to bury the Cavs. The Pistons hit a franchise playoff record 15 threes
in their convincing 113-86 victory.



Mavericks-Spurs

Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Spurs point guard Tony Parker is listed as questionable
for Game 2 of the best-of-seven playoff series against the Mavericks.Parker
did not practice Monday, but everyone believes he’ll start. NBA commissioner
David Stern acknowledged that it was a mistake to schedule the Spurs to open
the series with an early game Sunday. San Antonio
ended its first-round series in Sacramento
so late on Friday night that it was after midnight
in Texas. They didn’t arrive back
in San Antonio until 3 p.m. on Saturday. They tipped off at noon on Sunday because ABC wanted the
Cleveland-Detroit game in the more attractive later slot.

MLB

Mets-Phillies

PhillyBurbs

The Phils are looking to extend
their eight-game winning streak, the franchise’s longest since a 13-gamer in
1991. Myers pitched fairly well in a no decision against Atlanta
on Wednesday night, allowing two earned runs in seven innings.  Martinez
has allowed two or fewer runs in four of his last five starts. He has struck
out 25 while only walking four in the past 20 innings.

Astros-Dodgers

Scorephone.com

After a five-game losing streak, the Dodgers put together
a sweep of Milwaukee and notched a
10-2 triumph in the series finale on Sunday. Houston,
which is two games behind Cincinnati
for the lead in the NL Central Division, is 0-4 on a seven-game road trip. It
will go with veteran lefty Andy Pettitte for Tuesday’s series opener. Pettitte
is 1-3 over his last five starts, but ended a four-start winless streak in his
last trip to the hill on May 4 against St. Louis.
The southpaw gave up three runs and seven hits through 6 2/3 innings of a 4-3
victory. In three career starts against the Dodgers, Pettitte totes a 2-0
record with a 1.64 earned run average. Houston
leads the 2006 series with LA by a 2-1 margin. The Astros went 4-2 in the 2005
season series before the Dodgers took the ‘04 series 4-1.
