3 Unit Play. Take Milwaukee -105 over St. Louis
Since Jeff Suppan left the St. Louis Cardinals to join the Milwaukee Brewers, he's continued to dominate his former team. Suppan looks to win his eighth straight decision against the Cardinals - and sixth in a row with the Brewers. St. Louis is 3-14 in their last 17 games against Milwaukee.

4-Unit Play Take Cleveland/Orlando Over 188
No game in this series has gone under this posted total. These teams have averaged 195 this season in six meetings head-to-head. Both teams shot well under their season percentages from the field in Game 3 and this one still did not top the posted total and we just don’t see Cleveland getting shut down again like they did in Game 3 even though we can’t trust them enough to take them as a side tonight. However, we do think that they will shoot much better than the 37% they shot from the field and they were also cold from the three-point line and foul line. We think that they make the necessary adjustments tonight to get some points on the board and we think this one winds up in the mid-190s.

Cleveland at Orlando
Play: Over 188
As of early Tuesday morning, the posted total on this game is as low as a 187.5 and this is offering great value to the over. Every single game in this series has tallied at least 188 points. This includes Game Three on Sunday which, due to a higher posted total, stayed under even though it ended with 188 points. The significance here is we again get a low posted total here and, yet, there is every reason to believe that Game Four will be much higher scoring than Game Three was. In Sunday’s game, the teams combined to make just 11 of 43 three-pointers. Additionally, the Cavaliers only made 37% of their shots for the game. As for Orlando, they only had 63 shots from the field for the game! This was largely due to plenty of foul calls and trips to the free throw line in what played out as a very rough contest. We expect the “style” with which that game was played to help us out tremendously here in terms of an over. The Cavaliers saw two of their players foul out in Game Three and another player ended up with five fouls. As for the Magic, Dwight Howard fouled out and Hedo Turkoglu ended up with five fouls. Neither team wants to see key players sitting out due to foul trouble and yet they know this game is going to be called tightly.
With all the fouls – including technicals – in Game Three, the referees are clearly trying to take back control of this series. That means that both Cleveland and Orlando are likely to leave a little more open space on defense this one. Neither one wants to find themselves victimized by the quick whistle once again. Also, both teams are very likely to shoot much better after such a poor performance in Game Three. The Cavaliers really haven’t been able to stop Orlando in this series – the Magic have averaged 100 points per game. However, we also expect the Cavs to respond after being held to one of their worst offensive performances of the post-season. That’s why the play here is the over. Cleveland is desperate to tie this series up. Orlando is desperate to take a 3-1 lead and quiet the Cavaliers and their guarantees of a series victory. That spells a back and forth battle with offenses lighting it up tonight with a lot more open space to work with on the floor as the shots will fall Tuesday. Play OVER the total in Orlando as a Top Play selection.

Cavs at Magic
Pick: Magic +1.5
Orlando has out played the Cavaliers in every game of this series and if not for one of the most amazing shots we've seen by LeBron, we'd be looking at a clean sweep tonight. The Magic have dominated the paint and that's why they'll win tonights contest. Guard play can get you to a championship but you need a big man to win it and Orlando has that big man in Dwight Howard. Catching a point here is a bonus as the Magic take a 3-1 lead back to Cleveland.
