Colorado Rockies at Los Angeles Dodgers
(L) Mark Redman (2-1) vs. (R) Brad Penny (3-2)
The Dodgers are coming off an 8-7 win over Colorado, their fourth win in their last five games. Los Angeles sends Brad Penny to the hill tonight, hoping to win back to back games. The right-hander has won his last two outings and is 12-2 with a 2.92 ERA in 21 career starts against the Rockies. Colorado struggles continue, dropping five of their last six games. They will counter with Mark Redman. The southpaw allowed four runs and six hits over five innings in a lost 9-5 to Philadelphia in his last start on Monday. He is 0-1 with a 7.20 ERA in two career starts against the Dodgers.
Take the LA Dodgers at home with Penny on the mound, who is 3-2 with a 2.67 ERA in five starts this season, 0.77 ERA in his last two outings.
Los Angeles Dodgers - 175

Chicago Cubs (15-8) at Washington Nationals (8-16)
(R) Carlos Zambrano (3-1) vs. (L) Matt Chico (0-4)
The Chicago Cubs have played well at Wrigley Field and so has Carlos Zambrano, but not on the road. They have lost their last two games away from home, four of their last six and have dropped seven of its last ten in Washington. Zambrano is 5-2 with a 3.42 ERA in 10 career appearances, including eight starts against Washington. Even so, the Nationals have won their last two games, but are just 3-6 in their last 9 at home and left-hander Matt Chico has been horrible. Chico has given up 11 runs over nine innings in his last two starts and the Nationals have lost his last four. Go with the Cubs. Chicago lost to Washington 5-3 on Friday night, but is 6-2 in its last 8 versus the Nationals and have won six of their last 8 games overall.
Chicago Cubs - 165
(1) Los Angeles Lakers (2-0) at (8) Denver Nuggets (0-2)
The Nuggets played awful in the first two games, crushed by the Lakers and now need a vital win, down 0-2. Thankfully for them, they are back in Denver. The Nuggets have won 11 of their last 12 at home and is 33-8 at the Pepsi Center this year. Home court could give them the lift needed to compete with Kobe and his crew. They have taken five of the seven at home against the Lakers. Expect a close high scoring battle. Denver will have to pick up the pace and play forceful this evening in their house. Go with the home team

(1) Boston Celtics (2-0) at (8) Atlanta Hawks (0-2)
Boston has been outstanding on the road, winning 12 of their last 15, going 37-6 this season. Go with the Celtics to take their six straight against Atlanta. The Hawks may have home field advantage at Philips Arena tonight, but they are barely a valid challenge against the solid Celtics this year.

CHICAGO CUBS (C. Zambrano) -165 over WASHINGTON (Chico)
We're laying a fat price on the road team in this one,
but the situation could not be any more favorable.
Carlos Zambrano has looked very sharp in his five
starts for the surging Cubs (2.57 ERA) and he's
squaring off against an inept Washington offense
that is only 3-10 (-$470) vs. righties, averaging a
mere 3.2 runs per game in those contests. The
visitor is already 6-1 vs. lefties (+$510 with 8.0
runs per game) and now gets to tee off against
Matt Chico and his 6.04 ERA. Best start in years
for Chicago, look for them to notch another easy
victory today.

Toronto* over Orlando by 11
The Raptors protect the ball better than anyone in
the NBA except for Detroit (which didn't prevent
Detroit from turning it over 25 times at Philly last
night, but that's another story). The Raptors are
also the second-best free-throw shooting team
in the playoffs, with Orlando having the worst
team percentage at the foul line. Their point guard
Jameer Nelson is beginning to suffer not only from
back spasms, but from over-exposure. TORONTO, 107-96.

2* Denver/LA Lakers 'OVER' 230:
I watched game #2 from start to finish on Wednesday. After a 65-point 1st
quarter, the Lakers and Nuggets were flat out miserable in the 2nd quarter.
Brick after brick was tossed up and both teams were equally horrendous from the
charity stripe. Three of the four quarters produced 60 or more points and there
was no scoring in the final minute with the total pushing 229. But again unlike
other series action, there were more offensive rebounds than turnovers in that
game. There were 13 fewer shot attempts in game #1 and both teams still
combined for 229. There were also nine fewer free throw attempts in game #2
(69-60). Surprisingly, Denver is +12 in free throw attempts in the first two
games. You rarely see that from a team that has lost twice by double digits.
But that only suggests to me the Nuggets are getting good shots and taking it to
the hole. Trash talking does nothing but inspire unstoppable guys like Bryant
and Iverson. In the two games at Staples, the Nuggets made just nine
three-pointers (31 attempts). Certainly Denver will play with desperation
tonight and I?m somewhat surprised to see them as a slight favorite, considering
LA is now 10-2 ATS in this series and posted back-to-back lopsided wins. I like
the ?OVER?. Denver is 10-1 ?OVER? this year at home after failing to cover two
consecutive games. The Nuggets have exceeded the total in 15 of 21 at home
while the Lakers are 8-2 ?OVER? in their last 10 Saturday games. We?ve seen 67
and 61 points in the 4th quarters of games #1 and #2 without garbage time free
throws because of the huge leads by the Lakers. Imagine how many points could
be scored if we could ever get a competitive game?
