 Monday's play is on Oklahoma City -5.5  over Sacramento. (tips@10est) There are no significant injuries for either side. With only two games left this season, the Thunder have the third seed in the Western Conference. The Lakers and Mavs are tied and ahead of them by one game and also own the tiebreakers. This means that the Thunder know they must win out and have LA and Dallas lose out to capture the #2 seed. It's a longshot, to be sure, but I think this gives us excellent value on a motivated Thunder squad that just beat down the Lakers on the road. The Thunder are young, so I don't think they'll be affected to much by the back to back situation.  OKLAHOMA CITY -5.5  As always, Best of luck on all of your plays.

For instance, let's say we really love a pitching matchup and jump on a pick only to have a downpour  early on in a matchup. Well, we can kiss that matchup edge goodbye if their arms go cold, since they will not risk injury. Here's the best link for baseball weather that I know (so much usefuls information!):  https://dailybaseballdata.com/cgi-bin/weather.pl 
  I also meant to add that totals are affected by extremely windy conditions, as well. The link tells you what direction the wind is blowing and also how strong.

I originally was going to take the Over 6.5 on the Reds/Padres but I was blocked from picking it. I got this (link). Since the Cubs/Astros game is in Houston, they are indoors with out a wind, rain or cold/hot condition.

 Lol @ dome weather! Hey Quad, here's a little trick i use all of the time: If you get that message you showed us in your link, from there just hit back or backspace to get back to the previous screen with the bubbles for the matchup you wanted. Then, make sure your bubble is filled in and hit submit. If you get your link message screen again, just hit back and submit repeatedly until you "force" your pick to go through. Also, if the pick you want does not appear on the list of all picks availabe, this is likely due to the consensus. Keep refreshing repeatedly until you see the pick you want appear. If you can get it to appear just once, then you are "in like Flint"!  Fill in your bubble and click on submit. If this takes you to the "sorry we cannot accept your pick due to the consensus" screen, then you know what to do. You guessed it! Back, bubble, submit, and repeat. These tactics have never failed me, although I am ashamed to admit that one time I refreshed 150 times to get my pick to appear and then went through the bakspace and submit technique an additional 300 times. BTW, that pick won, thankfully. LOL!

I pulled the Over 8.5 out and got the Cubs win on streak for the cash.
I'm taking the Texas Rangers -125 over the Tigers tomorrow. CJ Wilson is looking good and Brad Penny is not. Combine that with the Rangers FIRE HOT start and I'm locking Texas -125 in. Preview

For Tuesday's play, I am going with (drum roll) Quad17's play! Texas -128 over Detroit. I hope Brad Penny is a gas can man today. My other play was Chicago Bulls -4 over New York, but it is unclear at this point whether Amare will play. Plus the Bulls haven't had much luck against the Knickerbockers lately. I have every reason to believe that Chicago covers, but by the time A. Stoudemire's status is known the Ranger's line will undoubtedly have climbed too high.  TEXAS RANGERS -128  Good luck today, everyone!

Thats a good Bamabilly, very similar to what I said in a earlier post this year. My trick was to use 2 windows because they rotate the picks also. But I see I'm not the only one that found out how to overcome the dreaded that pick is no longer available message.

There is some excellent information being posted on this thread. There is no wonder that this is the reason why the 25 Dime Club has continued to produce Streak Leaders month after month in all the contests. We currently have Xmatt21 occupying the #1 spot in Streak Survivor with a 15 game streak going. Great job fellas and lets get some other folks on that leaderboard.

ok guys. I see all the luv fa the Rangers tomorrow but I like this play slightly better Astros -117  The Cubs gotta guy from bullpen (Russell) taken Cashner spot cause of injury. He will be on pitch count and I believe the 'Stros will be motivated as well as Myers tonite after that 1-run nail-bitter. Myers is 8-0 vs these guys btw, so GL tomorrow

TEXAS RANGERS -128 Loss 4-5   It sucks to lose in the bottom of the ninth. Period.

The Rangers allowed two 9th inning walks, loading the bases for Miguel Cabrera, they deserved to lose just for that. I knew MC would get a hit or walked once he came up with the bases loaded. I'm sorry about your streak xMatt21x, Good run Texas screwed everybody. How do they out pitch Verlander on one day and then lose a game that was started by Brad Penny? It makes no sense, if they lose tomorrow the most unpredictable result for that series will have occurred.

tough loss. took detroit on contests though, public was too much in love with the rangers and even really hot teams lose. getrdonrite, i'm on astros too on streak. myers has been underrated cause of the run support he hasn't been getting (same as oswalt and look what happened to him last year when he came to the good side) and you're spot on about the cubs pitching for this game

Whitesmith! Thanks for coming by bro!  It would be nice to have you stop by more often and share your insights. You're a legend now on Covers.

Astros are looking good. Up 7-0. Man, I wish I would have picked the Bulls -4 tonight. They are up by 16!

What`s happening at Lakers - Spurs? The spreadline is now -11.5/+11.5.


Does anyone know something new?

Nothing has changed, MadDog. The line is Lakers -7.5. It has moved a half point all day. I think the Spurs will stay inside that number, but that's just my two cents.
