7:05 – MLB
Chicago White Sox (Danks) @ Baltimore Orioles (Guthrie)

Even with the Orioles playing well, the White Sox are small favorites tonight on the road winning 51% of simulations and are the side value favorites as well. 

7:05 – NHL – More Goals
Montreal Canadiens (vs. BOS) or New York Rangers (vs. WAS)

Average simulations have the Canadiens scoring 2.7 goals against the Bruins.  The Rangers are netting 2.5 goals on average against the Capitals.  The Bruins-Canadiens game is also averaging 1.1 more total goals on average so I would take the higher scoring match-up.


7:05 – NBA – Higher Total
Andre Miller (PHI) AST+REB
Orlando Magic Winning Margin

Average simulations have Andre Miller projected for 9.6 assists and rebounds.  Orlando’s average margin of victory is 13.5.  The Point Spread Tool says the Magic is 60% to cover 9.5, or just enough to beat Miller’s average simulation.

8:05 – NBA
Heat @ Hawks Over/Under 184.5

This is a tough bet to take as the NBA Over/Under Tool shows that it is an even bet.  The Under is occurring in 51.5% of simulations.  This is probably mostly due to the poor performances of the Miami role players, and the tough defense Atlanta is capable of playing at home.

8:05 – MLB
Los Angeles Dodgers (Wolf) @ Houston Astros (Oswalt)

The Astros broke the Dodgers’ 8-game win streak last night and will have their ace Roy Oswalt on the mound tonight.  Houston is winning 56% of simulations by 0.5 runs on average.  The Dodgers will have Randy Wolf on the mound who is projected for just 4.4 innings on average getting deep into the L.A. bullpen.

8:05 – MLB – Higher Total
Jose Reyes (NYM) Total Bases
Joel Pineiro (STL) Strikeouts

Go with the percentages in this one.  According to the Prop Bet Analyzer, Jose Reyes has a 51.3% chance of notching 2 or more total bases and just a 30% chance of getting 3 or more.  Average simulations have Pineiro at 3.3 strikeouts. 

10:05 – NHL
Blackhawks @ Flames Over/Under 5.5 Goals

Using the
NHL Over/Under Tool the side to take becomes obvious.  The Over is occurring in 69.4% of simulations.  Expect a high scoring game.

10:05 – MLB
Detroit Tigers (Verlander) @ Los Angeles Angels (Saunders)

Whether fantasy players love him or not, Joe Saunders has pitched very well this season and Justin Verlander has not.  That is reflected in the simulations where the Angels are 58% favorites by 0.8 runs on average.

10:40 – NBA – More Points
Chris Paul + David West (Hornets)
Chauncey Billups + Carmelo Anthony (Nuggets)

Paul and West are averaging 45.6 points per simulation.  Billups and Anthony are projected for 41.4 points per simulation.  The bottom line is that Paul and West carry a much higher scoring burden for the Hornets than Anthony and Billups do for this iteration of the Denver Nuggets.  For the Hornets to win, Paul and West have to become big-time scorers.
