Game: Milwaukee Brewers @ Philadelphia Phillies
Sport: Major League Baseball
Pick: Phillies, Money Line

Reason for Pick:
The Phillies Joe Blanton will start todays game. He started the year with a difficult game but bounced back nicely in his last game. In last years NLDS, he dominated the Brewers and look for him to continue to do so again tonight.

The hottest batter with the Brewers right now is Ryan Braun who is hitting only 0-3 against Blanton.

Braden Looper of the Brewers has a bad matchup against a Phillies linup that has had success against him. Six batters hit above .300 against him including Ryan Howard who is 4 for 5 with 4 home runs against him.


Game: Chicago Blackhawks @ Calgary Flames
Sport: NHL
Pick: Calgary Flames, Money Line

Reason for Pick:
Playing their second game at home in the series, the Flames will look to use the momentum in the last win.

In that last game, Patrick Kane did not play due to either the flu or some sort of injury. In either case, he will not be 100% in tonights game.

Home ice is a completely different factor in Calgary with an extremely ruckus crowed that the Flames will use as motivation.

In what will be a short-tempered affair, look for the Flames to even the series at two.


Game: New Orleans Hornets @ Denver Nuggets
Sport: National Basketball Association
Pick: Under 198

Reason for Pick:
The Nuggets exceeded expectations in their last game offensively against a good defensive team, especially Chauncy Billups hitting eight 3-pointers. Billups averaged only two per game during the regular season.

The total in that first game was 197 and look for two well rested teams to focus more on defense in today's game, especially with Chandler looking to get more minutes in today's game than the 27 he received in game 1.

A regression back to the mean is in order so back the under.
