300♦ CARDINALS (LIST Wainwright and Rodriguez) - Alright, so the Astros caught the Redbirds last night with a huge win. Even furthers my argument for the Cardinals and Adam Wainwright, who has never lost to the Astros in his career. Wainwright is 3-0 with a 2.70 ERA in five starts at Busch Stadium - all wins ? and making matters better for us in this one, he?s 3-0 with a 2.17 ERA in four career starts against Houston. On the flipside, Wandy Rodriguez is 1-4 with a 5.25 ERA in seven career games against the Cardinals. Lay the run and a half in this one, as the Cardinals turn the tables on this team.
100♦ PISTONS - Thanks to his good friend Antonio McDyess, Pistons veteran guard Chauncey Billups was given some time to heal for what will continue to be an exhausting series, which is guaranteed to go until Friday. That will be Game 6 back in Motown, where the Pistons would love to hold serve with a 3-2 advantage. And while Billups continues to nurse the hamstring that?s been sore for nearly a month ? he missed nine of his 12 attempts, and appeared to have no lift on his jump shot in most of Game 4 ? the rest of the Pistons, including a red-hot McDyess, will put it all on the line in this pivotal contest tonight. Look at their point of view: the Pistons pull off a win tonight and they put themselves in a position to not have to return to Beantown. If they lose, a win back home sets up the elimination game back here. I honestly saw the Celtics making their move in the second half of Game 4, and there was something about Detroit that showed me a lot of heart and plenty of determination to keep the momentum flowing into this game. Take the points.

Take Boston Celtics and Detroit Pistons UNDER 173 (Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals).
If there?s been one constant in both the Eastern and Western Conference it?s scoring or the lack thereof. All four games in West have played UNDER the total while three of the four games in the East have also stayed below the total. My educated guess tells me we?re looking at another low scoring game tonight in Boston.
What?s the reason for the low scores? Certainly part of it is style. The Pistons like to grind it out and that usually makes for an ugly game. We?ve seen plenty of those in the playoffs and tonight will probably be another one. On the other hand, the Celtics are capable of better offensive production than they?ve shown. However I think fatigue is setting in on Kevin Garnett and company. After going to seven games in both of their previous playoff series, the Celtics have now played 16 games in 31 days and that circuitous route to the conference finals seems to have started taking a toll. Fatigue usually manifests itself most visibly on the defensive end and the normally stout Boston defense has given up an average of 93 points in the last three games. Even Celtics coach Doc Rivers admits that playing two seven game series leading up to this one is taking it?s toll.
Monday?s Game 4 fell short of the 176-point total, running the ?under? streak in this rivalry to 10-2 in the last 12 clashes, including 7-1 in the last eight contests (3-1 in this playoff series) and 6-1 in the last seven clashes at the Garden. I?d be leading you astray if I didn?t take the UNDER tonight. There?s just no other logical choice.

NBA:
Boston (-6) for 2 Units
Detroit/Boston 8:30: We'll look for a zigzag here after the Celtics took it on the chin in Detroit. Boston showed signs of quality play Monday by getting to the free throw line frequently, but couldn't close. We'll look for the Celtics to close in their comfortable confines on their home floor tonight. Detroit has not been a "step on the throat" team in Conference Finals under Saunders and we'll bet they come up on the short end tonight.
Detroit Under (173') for 1 Unit
MLB:
Los Angeles Angels (-128) [Saunders over Galarraga] for 2 Units
Tigers/Angels 10:05: We'll look for the Angels to sweep this three game set with Joe Saunders on the hill. Saunders, who sports a terrific 8-1 mark with a 2.31 ERA for the season, is locked in good form (1.66 ERA over last 3 games). Saunders is 2-0 with a 2.84 ERA vs Detroit. And Saunders sports a strong 27-8 mark when the
'total' is set between 8' to 10. Moreover, Saunders is backed with a well rested bullpen that hasn't seen a lot of work because of outstanding starting pitching. On the other hand, the Tigers have been horrible on the road when the 'total' is set between 9 to 9' at 2-14. Armando Galarraga has done some good road work but is coming off a sluggish outing last Friday. We'll look for him and the shaky Tigers' bullpen to implode here.

Tip of the Day
NY YANKEES -135
The New York Yankees and the Baltimore Orioles will meet on the field at Camden Yards on Wednesday in a battle of division rivals. The Yankees will pin their hopes on the pitching of lefthander Andy Pettitte in this game. Pettitte has a 4-5 record and a 4.27 ERA this season. Pettitte's opponent in this one will be Jeremy Guthrie. The Orioles ace righthander has a 3.62 ERA to go along with a 2-5 record this season. Oddsmakers currently have the Yankees listed as 135-moneyline favorites versus the Orioles, while the game's total is sitting at 9. Alex Cintron's walk-off single in the bottom of the 11th inning lifted the Orioles to a 10-9 win over the Yankees on Tuesday night. Baltimore upset New York as +110 home underdogs as the teams played over the 9.5-run total listed by sportsbooks.Kevin Millar went 3-for-5 with two dingers and three runs batted in for the Orioles, while Matt Albers picked up the victory in relief of starter Brian Burres for Baltimore.Johnny Damon was 4-for-5 with a three-run jack for New York, as the teams combined for nine homers on the night.

Detroit/Boston Over 173.5
Both teams play great defense, but I have not seen them yet play to their ability in this series. Boston is tough to beat at home so expect them to increase the pace a little bit. The Pistons have enough experience to get to the foul line and get points any way they can. This game comes down to whom makes the least mistakes. Both teams are so unpredictable in this series to pick a side tonight. Look for both teams to push this over the total.

LEGEND Play (2nd of playoffs/won 1st) $40.00
Larry's on a 21-7-1 NBA run since April 29. He's also 6-2 with his GOY plays over the entire playoffs plus won his only previous LEGEND play this postseason (SA ov NO in Game 7!). Larry's LEGEND Plays were previously available to only his personal clients but they are now available on the net. "Don't sit this one out!
Boston Celtics
My LEGEND Play is on the Bos Celtics at 8:35 ET. The Celtics have played more games this postseason than any other team, needing seven games in each of their first two series and are now tied 2-2 in their conference final series with the Pistons. Are they headed for another seventh game? Well, it's going six for sure! I've seen some argue that the Celtics are a tired team and one could make a case Boston sure looked like one in Game 4. However, I think it was more of a "let down situation" after them "breaking through" with their first road win of the playoffs in Game 3 (all five starters scored in double digits in that 94-80 win) and the Pistons (as they seemingly always do) playing extremely well off a loss. The dynamics of this game are different and I see the Celtics coming up big. While Garnett did not play well in Game 4, he's been terrific all postseason. Pierce (3-of-14) shot horribly, as did both Allen and Rondo (each went 2-of-8) in that Game 4. Allen has struggled for the last two rounds now, so I won't predict much of anything from him but I do expect Garnett, Pierce and Rondo (who has generally outplayed Billups in this series) to all play well. As for Detroit, let's start with Billups. The groin injury is obviously bothering him greatly, as other than in Game 2 (5-of-10 for 19 points), he's totaled just 25 points in the other three games of this series, making only 7-of-25 shots (29.2 percent). No one can honestly expect McDyess to come anywhere near his 21 point, 16 rebound performance in Game 4 (his postseason averages are 9.4-7.7) and the same goes Maxiell off the bench. He had a "breakout season" in his third year (7.9-5.3 on 53.8 percent) but had totaled just three points (1-of-8 FGs) and 10 rebounds in his five previous playoff games before getting seven points in Game 3 and 14 points in Game 4, making 9-of-11 shots in the two contests, combined. As badly as Boston played in Game 3 (31.8 percent, including 1-of-9 on three-pointers), the Celtics only trailed by seven points heading in the fourth quarter of that game. Boston has risen to the challenge in every "pivotal game" of this postseason. The Celtics have won two straight Game 5s against Atlanta and Cleveland with the series tied at two-all, plus back-to-back seventh games against those same opponents as well. In this series, after losing Game 2 at home (first home defeat in 10 games this postseason), Boston won its first and only road game of this year's playoffs 94-80, gaining back the homecourt edge. There is no time to be tired and I don't consider fatigue to play any role in this game. Let's also remember that the Pistons had averaged just 87.2 PPG through their first six road playoff games, before 'exploding' for 103 points in Game 2. Boston owned the league's best defensive FG percentage this year during the regular season (41.7 percent), as well as its best three-point percentage. Let me add that the Pistons made just 3-of-22 three -pointers (13.6 percent) the last two games (both in Detroit!) and I think it's fair to say that the Boston 'D' had something to do with that.
