(Listing Backe and Lannan)
Houston is on a roll right now and we will ride them to another victory over the Washington Nationals Thursday. The Astros have won 5 straight and 6 of their last 7 overall to get right back into the NL Central race. Brandon Backe is 8-0 (+9.2 Units) against the money line in home games vs. an NL team with an on base percentage .325 or worse since 1997. Backe is 13-1 (+13.2 Units) against the money line in home games vs. poor baserunning teams - averaging 0.5 or less SB's/game since 1997. John Lannan got torched for 6 runs through 3 innings in his last start for the Nationals. Lannan will get burnt again Thursday against a hot Astros? lineup. Bet Houston at home.

The best way to handicapp the last place Washington Nationals is to look to play on them at home, where they have a winning record, but fade them on the road, where they are 4-11. They are 2-7 their last nine road games. Despite throwing in a great pitcher's park, Washington starter John Lannan has allowed more hits than innings pitched. He also has 5.40 ERA against the Astros, and Houston is a hitter's park. Houston has struggled badly on the road, but started 10-5 at home, where they average almost 6 runs per game. A cheap price on the home team, play the Houston Astros!

Matchup: Kansas City Royals vs. Baltimore Orioles
Selection: Baltimore Orioles (-110)
Explanation: We will side with the Baltimore Orioles as they face-off against the Kansas City Royals in Thursday's MLB contest.
The Baltimore Orioles will use starting pitcher Daniel Cabrera. Daniel Cabrera has pitched well as of late. In fact, Daniel Cabrera has a 2.91 ERA in his last 3 starts. We see Daniel Cabrera having another solid start today.
The Kansas City Royals will use starting pitcher Luke Hochevar. Luke Hochevar has been struggling as of late. This is shown by Luke Hochevar's 4.86 ERA in his last 3 starts. We see Luke Hochevar giving up many runs once again today.
The Baltimore Orioles have proven success against the Kansas City Royals. In fact, the Baltimore Orioles are a Perfect 10-0 in their last 10 meetings against the Kansas City Royals.
Take Baltimore Orioles!

Play on: Pittsburgh (Maholm)/San Francisco (Cain)'Under' the total
Realize this is short price, but both youngsters have show signs of improvement this baseball season. So, I fully expect a low scoring game in cloudy and rainy Pittsburgh early Thursday afternoon. With SF 7-0 UNDDER in Cain's L7 starting calls and Pittsburgh 4-0 UNDER at home with Maholm, the play is quite obvious

Cleveland at BOSTON - 7:05 PM EST
Play ON: UNDER the total points
You all saw how difficult it was for both teams to get points on Tuesday. Today will be no different. There are two different angles that tell us so. One is a grinder that we have used since 1991 that wins over 62% of the time. Here is how the second one translates: In all NBA playoff games since the 1990-91 season, there have only been 22 games played in which both teams scored less than 80 points and at least one of the teams tallied less than 75. In the next game (in the same series between the same two teams), the UNDER won the money 18 times. 18-4 total points angles are rare. We can't pass this one.
PREDICTION: TOTAL POINTS SCORED - 165

Washington Nationals at Houston Astros
Thursday, May 8th, 8:10 PM ET
Look for Houston to pull off the sweep tonight behind Brandon Backe, who has seen his team prevail in 24 of his 29 home starts - an incredible mark. Sure enough, he's off to a 2-0 start in Minute Maid Park this year (3-0 TSR) with an ERA of 2.55. The Nationals' .227 batting average away from home certainly won't help them nor will the Astros' average of nearly six runs per game at home this season.

The Seattle Mariners are a solid 16-9 at home vs the Texas Rangers the last three years in this series, and are 3-2 as a home favorite of -150 to -175 this year. The Texas Rangers are only 6-7 vs teams with losing records this year, and are a terrible 9-12 on the road this year. We look for the Seattle Mariners to roll over the Texas Rangers for the home Win tonight

Cleveland Under (177') for 1 Unit
Cleveland/Boston 7:00: A lot of indicators point to the "under" here: Cleveland is 3-8 O/U as post-season dogs of 5 to 10' points, and 4-13 O/U after a combined score of 160 or less the last two seasons. Boston, on the other hand, is 2-11 O/U at home after allowing 85 or less this season, and 6-21 O/U after holding a team to 75 or less. The last three games in this series at Boston averaged 159 points. Defense should continue to take precedence in Boston.

TIP OF THE DAY Sport: NBA Game: 7:00PM, Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Boston Celtics
Prediction: Boston Celtics
Current Line: -8.5 Over/Under: 179 Reason: The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics will both be trying to pick up a playoff win on Thursday when they battle at TD Banknorth Garden. Oddsmakers currently have the Celtics listed as 8½-point favorites versus the Cavaliers, while the game's total is sitting at 179. Kevin Garnett dropped 28 points and grabbed eight rebounds as the Celtics defeated the Cavaliers 76-72 in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series on Tuesday night. Boston failed to cover as 10-point home favorites as the teams played under the 184-point total set by oddsmakers. Rajon Rondo went for 15 points and six assists for the Celtics, who got 13 points off the bench from Sam Cassell in the win. Zydrunas Ilgauskas led Cleveland with 22 points and 12 boards, while LeBron James had 12 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists for the Cavaliers. Team records: Cleveland: 45-37 SU, 37-45 ATS Boston: 66-16 SU, 52-28-2 ATS Cleveland most recently: When playing on Thursday are 7-3 Before playing Boston are 7-3 After playing Boston are 7-3 After a loss are 7-3 Boston most recently: When playing on Thursday are 7-3 Before playing Cleveland are 7-3 After playing Cleveland are 7-3 After a win are 7-3 A few trends to consider: Cleveland is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games on the road Cleveland is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games when playing Boston The total has gone UNDER in 10 of Cleveland's last 13 games Cleveland is 6-1-1 ATS in its last 8 games when playing on the road against Boston Boston is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games at home Boston is 10-1 ATS in its last 11 games at home Boston is 16-4 SU in its last 20 games The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Boston's last 5 games at home

The Dbacks are sending arguably the best pitcher in baseball right now to the mound. Brandon Webb is a perfect 7-0 - +$714 this season. That Rank's Webb as the #1 starter in the National League. On the Mound for the Phillies is Brett Meyers. Meyers is ranked #86 in the National League. The Phillies are 3-4 -$301 in Meyers 7 starts this season. We clearly have the pitching advantage here. It is also important to note the the DBacks have the #1 Bullpen in Baseball with a 2.67 ERA. My Selection here is based on the fact that Arizona has the clear Pitching Advantage! Brandon Webb has been a cash cow. The DBacks are a remarkable 18-4 in Webb's last 22 starts. Want More? The Fighting Phils are only 3-9 in Meyers Last 12 starts.. 100* Inside Info - DBacks -$150
