This will be our one and only play today. We prefer to keep it conservative in the first four weeks of MLB. Baseball is such a stat reliant sport so it takes a good 4 to 5 weeks to get the proper info you need to cap at a successful rate. We do our best to keep the plays under 150 for faves, value for dogs and eventually integrate totals into the daily selections. Once enough time has passed we will bring back our MLB power plays which are basically play of the day material and we will also bring back the late play additions for the MLB season as we always take advantage of good information through the day and if it can gives us an added winner, then we'll gladly get that out. For today, no tech report since we are dealing with the first week of a new season so no performance stats to mention, however, Wang was incredible during the spring training games while Toronto was dreadful when traveling the pre-season circuit. Keep your wagers moderate for the first couple weeks of MLB. Don't buy into hype and you'll get none from us. Show self discipline in your wagering for the first month of MLB, and if you do your part, then we will do our part by getting you winners and showing a profit. Keep your eye on units w/l since records don't mean a thing if someone loses a -200 or more fave which would be equal to 2 losses while someone who might say take a +200 dog, could be ahead in profit yet show a losing record. See thru the mess and keep your eye on your profit margin and together we'll have a successful MLB season. Lets start this party with the New York Yankees today at home.****NOTE: THIS GAME WAS PPP'D ON MONDAY AND IS RESCHEDULED FOR TUESDAY AT 7:05PM EST

1 Unit on Mets/Marlins OVER 8.5
Martinez and Vandenurk
Look for a lot of runs being scored tonight when the Mets visit the Marlins for their 2nd game in this 3-game series. The Mets got the best of the Marlins in a 7-2 victory yesterday. Now Florida gets to face the washed up Pedro Martinez after facing the best pitcher in all of baseball with Johan Santana Monday. It will be just like batting practice for the Marlins here. The OVER is 14-5 in the last 19 meetings between the Mets and Marlins. Rick Vandenhurk’s last start against the Mets resulted in a 10-4 New York win to go well OVER the posted total. Florida is 46-22 OVER against division opponents over the last 2 seasons. Florida is 26-7 OVER after scoring 2 runs or less over the last 2 seasons. Look for both teams to light up the scoreboard tonight. Cash in with the OVER 8.5 runs.

Chicago Bulls +7 at home against the Boston Celtics
The Bulls are still fighting for the 8th seed as they trail the Hawks by 4 games in the loss column for the right to take on tonights' opponent in the first round. The Celtics have proved their mettle of late by taking on all Western conference comers and disposing of them like rag dolls with the exception of a lone setback to the Hornets, whom they got revenge upon this past Friday with a double digit victory at home. With 15 losses, and the number 1 overall seed all but locked up, the Celtics figure to coast the rest of the way particularly since the three amigos are all over 30 and may want to get some rest before the playoffs. The Bulls hang tough here. Take the points.

Game: Montreal Canadiens at Ottawa Senators
Prediction: Ottawa Senators
Reason: Ai Simulator 10* graded play on Ottawa. Supporting this graded play is a system that has produced a record of 36-19 21.1 units since 2002. Play against any team against the money line off an embarrassing loss by 4 goals or more to a division rival and with a winning between 51% and 60% of their games on the season. Montreal in a very poor role for this game noting that they are 4-9 against the money line (-9.7 Units) after having won 4 of their last 5 games this season.

BOSTON (Matsuzaka) -135 over OAKLAND (Blanton)
Daisuke looked sharp when he opened the season in Tokyo last week, and this is a Boston team that was at its best in road games vs. righthanders last year (32-21, +$875). The Athletics struggled vs. righties here at McAfee Coliseum in 2007 (-$1530 with only 3.6 runs per game). Huge talent gap between these two lineups, the short price on the superior visitorappears to be an excellent value.

New Jersey* over Philadelphia by 10
Most recent meeting came with both teams playing the secondof back-to-back nights, and the final score was relatively low:91-87 for the 76ers in Philly.The Nets were just 5-for-21 in the final 12 minutes and hit just one of their five 3-point attempts. "It came down to the last three minutes," New Jersey head coach Lawrence Frank said. "Vince, [Carter], make or miss we had some great opportunities right at the rim that didn't work out."The situation that night favored Philly, the home team with the more set roster. New Jersey, in the aftermath of recent major changes, was in a bad spot. Both sides are rested this time.Look for a higher-scoring game and New Jersey to play better overall, espeicially with those "opportunities right at the rim."
NEW JERSEY, 107-97.

Houston Astros @ San Diego Padres Over 7
The Padres pounded out 14 hits in yesterday's game and they won't slow down against Brandon Backe. Throughout his young career, Backe (from Galveston, TX), has pitched much better at home in Houston than he has on the road. He did have one good appearance in his only start at PETCO Park in his career. However, his overall numbers away from home tell the full story. He's 8-10 with a 5.52 ERA away from home compared to a solid 14-5 with a 3.70 ERA when pitching in Houston. The Padres bats won't slow down for him today. However, the difference in today's game compared to yesterday's match-up is that the Astros bats will come to life and likely match the Padres run for run. Houston was shut down by Jake Peavy yesterday but they will come back to life against Padres starter Chris Young tonight. Young has great career numbers but he struggled last season after he suffered an oblique injury. He made ten starts after the injury and he produced a 5.96 ERA. Until he proves that he's back to full strength (and we don't expect that early in the season), look for the Padres hurler to give up his fair share of runs. With a total of seven on this game it doesn't take much to get it over the total. Just three runs from each team guarantees no worse than a push and, considering the status of each starting pitcher, three runs isn't asking for much!
