4-unit play. Take New York +130 over Boston
The Islanders are at home and would like to send their fans out on a high note playing a team that is the best in the league. Boston will rest players and has clinched the top seed in the East. They have also lost nine of their last 12 on the road.

5 Unit Play. GOTW. Take the Tampa Bay Devil Rays RL (+110) over the Baltimore Orioles
I'm not the biggest fan of the RL here, but it is something that we can take for several reasons today. For starters, I feel a bit irritated that I was not on the RL with the Yankees yesterday despite talking about it, but this is the same situation which allows us to take advantage. Shields, the ace of the Rays staff, was roughed up a bit in his last start for over an 8era. But, keep in mind the RedSox had revenge against the kid b/c of the way he pitched against them in the playoffs in the previous year and the game was in Fenway. This game too is on the road, but I expect Jason to have a much better effort. Shields is 2-0 with a 3.14 era in Camden Yards. Eaton was released by the Phillies desipte being in a very "lucrative" contract as MLB.com reports. I believe there is a reason why the Phillies released him and that is because he has not had a year with less than a 5era in three seasons and they did not see anything positive from him over the spring - so they cut him. I look for Eaton to have a honeymoon in the American League for about 3 innings and then this Rays offense which is very opportunistic will take root and likely have success against Adam. I expect the Rays to bounce-back yesterday from a 0-6 loss as well as this team is the defending AL Champs and Shields is too good of a pitcher not to have a strong bounce-back effort. Decent money for us on the RL, so we will take this chance on the Rays for our game of the week.

1-Unit Play. Take #921 Tampa Bay (-1.5, +115) over Baltimore (1:30 p.m., Sunday, April 12)
Really like this situation for the Rays. I watched a majority of their game against the O's yesterday and they had opportunity after opportunity to get into that game and do some damage, but looked sluggish. However, they don't want to get swept here and James Shields is due for a big-time bounceback performance after getting rocked by Boston. Shields has had some success against the O's who are out to a 4-1 start. I smell a little regression. But not from Shields, who has won seven straight starts against the O's. Also, in kind of a funny quirk, the Orioles have been the worst team in the league in Sunday games over the last two years. I look for that to continue.
1-Unit Play. Take #911 San Francisco (-115) over San Diego (4 p.m., Sunday, April 12)
I'll dabble with Tim Lincecum on this short number. The kid is a stud and I like the way this San Francisco lineup is shaking out. The Padres are gaining a little bit of steam here, but I like them to come back down to earth. Worst case scenario is that we lose this game, but then I'm prepared to work a chase out against the Padres when they hit the road this week and come out of that nice, cozy, home bubble.

3.5-Unit Play. Take ‘Over’ 8.5 Boston at L.A. Angels (3:30 p.m., Sunday, April 12)
Note: Play at 3.0 at 9.0 or higher.
Today, the ball flies during the day in Anaheim and I look for some good licks today. Josh Beckett is a dead-nuts ‘over’ pitcher at home and I expect a little of that to carry over onto the road today after his gem of an outing on Opening Day. We have two very patient lineups and two teams that aren't afraid to move on the basepaths. Dustin Mosely really doesn't do much for me and I can see the Red Sox threatening to top this number all by themselves.
