Chicago Cubs (6-5) at Philadelphia (6-6)
The Phillies try for a three-game sweep over the Cubs when they send veteran southpaw Jamie Moyer (1-0, 4.66 ERA) to the mound against Chicago?s Jason Marquis (0-0, 6.75) at Citizens Bank Park. Philadelphia dominated Chicago 7-1 on Saturday after taking the series opener 5-3 on Friday. The Cubs, who arrived in Philly riding a five-game winning streak, have dropped consecutive games for the first time since opening the season 0-2. Meanwhile, the Phillies are in the midst of an odd pattern to start the season, as they?ve followed up a two-game losing streak with a two-game winning streak three times. Moyer got knocked around in his first start of the season, allowing six runs (three earned) on nine hits in just 3 2/3 innings, though the Phillies bailed him out in an 8-7 home victory over the Nationals. He rebounded with a solid outing at Shea Stadium on Tuesday, holding the Mets to two runs on four hits in six innings of a 5-2 Phillies? win. Moyer only saw the Cubs once last season and gave up four runs on nine hits in five innings of a 5-4 loss, but did beat them twice in 2006, allowing a combined four runs on 12 hits in 13 innings. Philadelphia is 4-1 in Moyer?s last five home starts, 6-2 when he?s a favorite and 6-1 when he?s started on Sunday. Marquis was shaky in his first start this season eight days ago, giving up five runs (four earned) on eight hits in 5 1/3 innings at home, with Chicago rallying for a 9-7 win over the Astros. He faced the Phillies once last year and held them to three runs on eight hits in six innings of a 7-3 win at Wrigley Field. The Cubs are just 3-7 in Marquis? last 10 road starts and 1-5 in his last six when he faces an N.L. Central Division foe. The Phillies are now 13-5 since 2006 against the Cubs, including 6-1 in the last seven in Philly. Also, they?re 38-17 in their last 55 Sunday games and 7-1 in their last nine at home against a right-handed starter. Meanwhile Chicago is 13-7 in its last 20 as an underdog, but just 21-44 in its last 65 against N.L. East squads.
The under is 10-4 in the last 14 series clashes in Philadelphia, 5-1-1 in the last seven meetings overall, 11-5 in the Phillies? last 16 against right-handed starters and 15-4 in the Cubs? last 19 against southpaw starter.

N.Y. Yankees (6-6) at Boston (6-6)
The Red Sox send Daisuke Matsuzaka (2-0, 1.47 ERA) to the mound at Fenway Park to face the Yankees and Philip Hughes (0-1, 5.00) in the deciding game of these rivals? initial three-game series of 2008.
Boston has alternated wins and losses in its last six games after holding off the Yankees 4-3 in Saturday?s rain-delayed contest. Meanwhile, although that victory snapped New York?s modest two-game winning streak, it remains 7-2 in the last nine meetings with Boston and 4-2 in the last six battles at Fenway. Boston is 3-0 in Matsuzaka?s first three starts this season, with wins over the A?s in both Japan and Oakland, as well as a home victory over Detroit. Dice-K has given up three runs on eight hits in 18 1/3 innings of work. Going back to last season, the Red Sox are 5-0 in Matsuzaka?s last five overall and 4-0 in his last four outings at home. However, they?re just 2-7 in Matsuzaka?s last nine against American League East teams. Matsuzaka faced the Yankees four times in his rookie season in 2007 ? twice at home, twice on the road ? going 2-1 with a 6.12 ERA. Hughes got knocked around in Tuesday?s start in Kansas City, giving up three runs on six hits in just three innings of a 5-2 loss. He threw 87 pitches and walked four against the Royals. On the bright side, the Yankees are 6-1 in Hughes? last seven starts overall and 5-0 in Hughes? last five starts against the American League East, though the young right-hander has yet to face the BoSox in his brief career.
The over is 21-7 in the last 28 series clashes in Boston, but both meetings this weekend have stayed under the number. Also, the under is 11-1 in the Yankees? last 12 overall (7-0 in the last seven), 5-0 in the Yankees? last five against division foes and 6-0 in their last six on the road. The under is also on streaks for Boston of 5-1 at home, 6-2-1 when facing a righthander and 5-1 at Fenway.

San Antonio (54-25, 36-41-2 ATS) at L.A. Lakers (55-25, 45-34-1 ATS)
The Lakers pulled into a tie for the top spot in the Western Conference playoff race Saturday without even playing and now try to take a half-game lead when the Spurs visit the Staples Center. Los Angeles is in a deadlock with New Orleans after the Hornets lost to Sacramento 94-91 Saturday, while San Antonio sits a half game behind the Hornets and Lakers. Los Angeles, which scored a huge 107-104 home win over New Orleans on Friday night, holds the tiebreaker over the Hornets should they end up with identical records. Although the Lakers are on a 6-1 SU run, they?re just 2-5 ATS during this stretch, including failing to cover as a five-point home chalk on Friday against the Hornets. With two games left, both at home, the Lakers carry a 28-11 home record into this contest, but they?re just 18-21 ATS, including failing to get the cash in each of their last seven in the Staples Center. Los Angeles is also in ATS funks of 1-8-1 against Southwest Division foes, 1-5 on Sundays and 0-4 against teams with a winning road record. San Antonio has won 10 of its last 12 games (8-4 ATS) including Friday?s 95-74 home rout of the Sonics, cashing as a 15?-point favorite. The Spurs trail the Hornets by a game in the race for the Western Conference top spot and the Southwest Division title. After today San Antonio travels to Sacramento on Monday and hosts Utah in Wednesday?s regular-season finale. The Spurs are just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 road games against teams with a winning home record and 4-9 ATS in their last 13 against teams with a winning overall mark. But Gregg Popovich?s team is 6-1 ATS in its last seven when playing on a day of rest and 10-4 ATS in its last 14 on Sundays.

Houston (54-25, 46-31-2 ATS) at Denver (48-32, 43-37 ATS)
The scenario is clear for the Nuggets as they host the Rockets inside the Pepsi Center: They must win their final two games to secure the eighth spot in the Western Conference and earn a ticket to the playoffs.
After closing a five-game road trip with Saturday?s 124-97 loss at Utah as six-point ?dogs, Denver has two games left to clinch a postseason berth, both at home, where the Nuggets are 31-8 (24-15 ATS) this season, including 7-2 ATS in the last nine. After today?s contest against the Rockets, the Nuggets, who are tied with the Warriors for the eighth and final Western Conference playoff berth, host the Grizzlies on Wednesday.
Denver has followed up a five-game winning streak by going 3-5 in its last eight. The Nuggets are also 3-6 ATS in their last nine after going 9-1 ATS in their previous 10. The key win for George Karl?s club came Thursday at Golden State when it prevailed 114-105 as a four-point road pup to take a one-game lead over the Warriors ? a lead it game back when lost on Saturday and Golden State beat the Clippers. Denver holds the tiebreaker after winning the season series against Golden State. Houston comes into this one having won five in a row both SU and ATS, including Friday?s 101-90 upset home win over the Suns as a three-point underdog. The Rockets are essentially locked into the fifth seed in the Western Conference playoffs, which would mean a first-round matchup with Utah for the second straight year. The home team has won all three games in this series this season with Houston taking the March 2 matchup 103-89 as a five-point favorite. The lone game in Denver saw the Nuggets get a 112-111 overtime victory but fail as an eight-point favorite.

Rick Adelman?s team is on ATS runs of 37-16-1 overall, 6-0-1 against Northwest Division teams, 16-6 on the road and 10-4 as a road ?dog. Meanwhile, the Nuggets are on ATS streaks of 5-0 against Southwest Division squads, 10-3 as a favoriteand 5-2 on Sundays.
The over is 6-2 in the last eight series clashes in Denver, 5-2 in the last seven for the Rockets on the road, 4-1 for the Rockets as an underdog, 24-11 for the Nuggets overall, 5-1 for the Nuggets on the second night of a back-to-back, 5-1 at the Pepsi Center and 22-8 when Denver is a favorite.

Los Angeles Angels at Seattle Mariners
Sunday, April 123h, 4:05 PM ET
Seattle is a phenomenal 20-4 as a home favorite of -125 to -150 and starter Erik Bedard has lead his teams to wins in 21 of 30 starts overall. The Mariners should be happy to see Angels southpaw Joe Saunders considering they are 28-14 vs. southpaws. Seattle lost 13 of 19 to the Angels last season, which cost them the division title, but the M's seems to determined not to let that happen this year as they are poised to pull of the three game sweep here. The Angels offense has been struggling mightily leaving 18 runners on base and going 4 of 22 with runners in scoring position.

Look for the Lakers game. Spurs will be without Manu and that is their guy. As good as Parker and Duncan are, Manu makes that team go. When he comes off the bench all they do is run the high pick and roll with him. He creates his own shot or makes assists and collapses the defense which allows him to kick out to the good three point shooters (Bowen, Finley, and the underrated Udoka). Duncan will get his points and Parker will do well but take away the energy and the 20 points a game Manu brings to the game and I don't think the line adjustment will be enough. The other Spur players cannot create their own shots. This will slow the spurs down. It will be very interesting to see what the line opens at. I look for the Lakers to win this game pretty easily. I also look for it to go under as well. Look to get on the Lakers right when the line opens. I think it will rise quickly. Also, I expect the total with the adjustment of Ginobili will fall somewhere between 192-195. Take the under if it is anything above 192. We have been hitting lots of totals and I hope it is set higher than this. I am expecting a line about maybe 5 or 6 for LA without Ginobili. Play the Lakers if it is anything 6 points or less. I think the total will fall and the line for LA will rise so get on this game as soon as the line opens. If either play falls outside our range, it is a no play. Good luck. More plays in a bit.

Atlanta (-125) at WASHINGTON
Glavine has pitched well in his two starts this season, with a 0.79 ERA, yet has no wins to show for it. That will change today as the Braves will hand the Nationals thier 10th straight loss. Washington is hitting a mere .236 during their losing streak.
The Nationals are 1-4 the last five games at home against a southpaw starter. They are on a 2-6 run in the role of underdog at home and have only won six of the last 26 games played after a loss.
The Braves will win this just as easily as the 10-2 rout at Washington yesterday. It will be a weekend sweep!
