3* Blue Jays / Angels Over 9
Toronto Jays as we note that both teams are crushing the rock right now and we have the boys from La traveling back home, they have also hit a homerun in 10 consecutive games. The ace Joe Saunders has been owned by the Jays , who put up a 12 spot Sunday. The Over is 15-5 after a road trip of 7 days or more and we have this battle power rated in the 10.7 run range tonight. Tor Jays Brett Cecil is 3-2, 4.98 ERA will have hard time keeping the Angels off the score board, The Over will not be the popular total here and we will roll out the Over 9 as our game of the week Monday!!

Pick: Magic +7.5
We are expecting two things to happen here. First, the Celtics will lose a bit of their edge and the Magic should “man-up” and try to avoid the humiliation of being swept as a favorite in a series.
Dwight Howard suffered a rare poor shooting effort in game three, being held to seven points on 3-of-10 shooting. The Magic are a perfect 8-0 in franchise history as a dog when seeking revenge for a loss in which Dwight Howard shot worse than 33% from the field.
Rashard Lewis was 2-of-8 from the field in game three, which committing four turnovers with no assists. The Magic are 6-0 ATS as a dog when seeking revenge for a loss in which Rashard Lewis had more turnovers than assists and 4-0 ATS as a dog when seeking revenge for a loss in which Rashard Lewis shot worse than 33% from the field.
Jameer Nelson committed four turnovers and had only two assists in game three. Again, this points to the Magic, as they are 5-0 ATS (+10.0 ppg) as a road dog when seeking revenge for a loss in which Jameer Nelson had more turnovers than assists.
In fact, no Magic player had more than two assists and they totaled ten for the game. Orlando is 6-0 ATS on the road after a game in which they had fewer than fifteen assists, covering by an average of 13.5 ppg. Their lone straight up loss in this spot came in the second game of last season’s finals when they lost 101-96 in LA in overtime as a 6’-point dog.
Also, the Magic are 4-0 ATS (+10.5 ppg) with at least one day of rest after a double digit road loss in which they shot less than 40% from the field, 8-0 ATS (8.6 ppg) as a road dog with at least one day of rest after a loss in which they scored more than 30% of their points from the three-point line, 7-0 ATS (8.6 ppg) off a loss as a dog in which they never led and 6-0 ATS (+6.8 ppg) as a road dog with at most one day of rest when they have lost their last three games SU and ATS.
Boston is 0-6 ATS (-9.7 ppg) with at least one day of rest after a win in which they committed fewer than ten turnovers, 0-5 ATS (-14.7 ppg) this season as a home favorite off a win in which they never trailed and 0-5 ATS (-8.3 ppg) at home after a home win in which they shot at least ten three-pointers and made at least half of them.
The Celtics are also 0-12 ATS as a favorite when less than two days rest when they are off a game in which they held their opponent to less than 40% from the field as long as their opponent made at least one three-pointer.
Playing brutal, in-your-face team defense is very tiring and requires a sustained effort. The Celtics have done this well the first three games of the series. Their adrenalin levels will naturally be attenuated here simply because they are up 3-0. The Celtics suffered a “let-down” in the opening round of these playoffs, when they allowed 50% shooting and lost 101-92 to the Heat when up 3-0 in that series.
The Magic went to the NBA finals last year. They were favored to win this series. They had won 14 straight games before this series. They are getting SEVEN points. We’ll take them.

3* Canadiens / Flyers Over
The Canadiens have their backs against the wall as they face elimination and the Flyers have a trip to the Stanley Cup Finals awaiting with a win here. Montreal is (7-1-1) ATS Over the Total off a home loss of (3) or more gaols and that is the situation in this game. Lot of pressure on Philadelphia as the clinching game is the hardest to get to clinch any series. Let the scoring begin at the Wachovia Center in the City of Brotherly Love.
