(960) BAL Orioles vs (959) TB Rays

Pick: Take (960) BAL Orioles

Analysis: Dave’s NBA Playoff Game of the Year was an easy winner Wednesday as the Celtics blew out the Hawks. He’s celebrating with a strong Thursday baseball release that’s yours FREE at 1-888-389-7223!… “It’s not likely to continue for very long, but Baltimore southpaw Brian Burres is on a tear. So are the Orioles for that matter, as they continue to exceed expectations by a wide margin despite the lopsided Wednesday loss to Tampa Bay. The Rays are sending Matt Garza to the mound in his second start back from the DL. Garza has enjoyed success against the O’s but has yet to find his stride this season and I’d say he’s worth fading till he does. The Orioles and Burres are the choice.”

Random notes from Wednesday afternoon:

You had better get used to the BCS the way it is now because it isn’t going to change any time soon. After much discussion today the BCS officials have chosen to change nothing until at least 2014. There was a proposal on the table to go to a four [...]

(964) CLE Indians vs (963) SEA Mariners

Pick: Take Over

Analysis: A pair of struggling pitchers take the mound in a hitter friendly park. Seattle’s Miguel Batista has below average stuff, not good for a guy 38 years old. He looks it, with a 5.26 ERA giving up 50 base runners in just 25 innings. That’s an average of two base runners per inning! Cleveland starter Paul Byrd is 37, with an ERA close to 5. Look for both offenses to smack the ball around against these two aging pitchers, play the Mariners/Indians over the total!

Some of the first round series are over already so there are only a couple of games scheduled for tonight. And, unfortunately, we have no picks for Wednesday:

(910) WAS Nationals vs (909) ATL Braves

Pick: Take (909) ATL Braves

Analysis: Dave’s NBA Playoff Game of the Year goes tonight, and it’s available for only $25 at his Pure Gold Club. This selection must be a winner or the rest of Dave’s Playoff Action package is FREE!…”If the Tigers fail to make the playoffs, they may end up looking back at the deal they made with Atlanta as a primary reason. Nothing wrong with Edgar Renteria, but the Tigers can’t pitch and they might well have been better off keeping Jair Jurrjens. Jurrjens has been mighty impressive for the Braves throughout the early going. He’s been rock solid in every one of his starts and is stamping himself as a star on the making. Shawn Hill has yet to find his groove coming back from spring injury issues for the Nats, so I’ll look for Atlanta to win this game.”

(730) SAN Spurs vs (729) PHX Suns

Pick: Take Under

Analysis: With so much at stake, look for the defensive intensity to be high. It was in Game 4, as the Spurs were held to 86 by the desperate Suns, who were facing elimination. The under is now 5-3 this season when these teams meet and San Antonio brings its best defensive effort at home, where they are 23-18 under the total. Play the Suns/Spurs under the total!

(912) PHI Phillies vs (911) SDG Padres

Pick: Take Over

Analysis: San Diego plays its home games in a huge park, which is why their pitchers have overall strong numbers. However, one must carefully do a home/road breakdown of every Padre pitcher. Starter Chris Young was outstanding at home last season and weak on the road, and that’s the case again with a 1.83 home ERA, but 8.00 on the road! Philadelphia is no easy park to pitch in, a home run friendly park. Philadelphia 45-year old junkball lefty Jamie Moyer knows this all too well, with a 2.25 ERA on the road but a 5.52 ERA at home. Look for both pitchers to take a beating. Play the Padres/Phillies over the total!

Larry Brown has a new coaching gig. Again. The Charlotte Hornets become the ninth team he has helmed, following Denver, New Jersey, San Antonio, Indiana, the Clippers, Philadelphia, Detroit and New York. The prevailing attitude seems to be that he will be a miracle worker in Charlotte. Jim Rome went as far today as to [...]

Well, here we go again. System C has been doing well so far in the playoffs even though it didn’t do that great in the regular season. We’ll see how it does tonight. Here are the picks:
