CHAMPION PLAYS

1.05 PM ET
LOS ANGELES (23 - 1 at ATLANTA (19 - 22)
Victor Alvarez (L) vs. Mike Hampton (L)

The LA Dodgers snapped an eight-game losing streak yesterday and they are excellent value as a small underdog today.

When teams finally break a bad run it releases a lot of pressure and they often respond with a good stretch. Despite going winless for nine days the Dodgers are still in first place in the NL West and we expect them to win more games than they lose for the rest of this month.

"The way this team has handled themselves and the way they've stuck together and the pride they've shown in the face of adversity, in the long run we will gain from it," said Dodgers manager Jim Tracy.

LA catcher David Ross was one of five Dodgers with two hits in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Braves. "It's nice to come in the clubhouse and have the radio on with any kind of music."

Today they face an Atlanta team that has dropped four of their last six games to be just 19-22 overall this season. The Braves are just 2-9 in day games and we're forecasting more misery for them today.

The Braves have won just two of Mike Hampton's six starts and overall he is 0-5 with a bloated 6.36 ERA. He will be desperate to turn that around today but has poor lifetime numbers against the Dodgers...5-6 overall with an ERA of 5.08 and a WHIP of 1.565.

The Braves have never faced Alvarez who looks to bounce back from a poor outing at Philadelphia. Last time out he allowed six earned runs in five innings but both of his previous starts this season were excellent. He pitched a total of 14 2/3 innings against the Pirates and Cubs and allowed only six hits and no earned runs. Alvarez should be able to contain the limited Braves offense today.

Atlanta struggle mightily against left-handed starters, averaging just 3.3 runs per game thanks to a miserable .234 batting average.

Contrast that with the Dodgers who hit .287 and score 4.7 rpg versus lefties.

The wrong team is favored in this one and we recommend a strong play on the Dodgers.

Recommended Play: LA +104

winning points - baseball

FLORIDA (Willis) +140 over ARIZONA (R. Johnson)

Pitchers coming off no-hitters/perfect games usually
underperform in their next outing,. In this case Randy
Johnson is in a most unfavorable setting, making the
Marlins a very appealing home underdog. They've already
pounded the Diamondbacks in the first two games of
this series, and now they get to send ace lefthander
Dontrelle Willis against an Arizona team with a pitiful
3-10 record vs. southpaws (-$990 with 3.8 runs per game).
Florida hasn't turned a profit vs. lefties, but they have
averaged 5.8 runs per game in that situation. They've
seen their team hitting improve steadily (17 runs in this
series already), so they are well poised to swep the last
place visitor.

Plays for Sunday, May 23rd
12:30 Eastern Update

2*Colorado/Estes +154 over Mets/Glavine ($200 to win $308)
Percentage play on Colorado to avoid the road sweep. The Rockies are 3-2 in Estes' 5 road starts and 7-2 in his 9 starts overall. The Mets are 1-3 in Glavine's 4 home starts and over the last 1+ seasons the Mets have been money burners at home behind Glavine going 5-16 in his 21 home starts.

2*Florida/Willis +120 over Arizona/Johnson ($200 to win $240)
The right spot to fade Johnson as a road favorite who should be flat coming off of his 2-0 perfect game shutout at Atlanta Tuesday night. Over the last 1+ seasons Florida is 12-7 in Willis' 19 home starts and 23-12 in his 35 starts overall.

2*Cubs/Clement -120 over St Louis/Morris ($240 to win $200)
Over the last 1+ seasons the Cubs have been almost unbeatable at home behind Clement going 4-1 so far this season and 16-6 in his last 22 starts. The opposition has scored 3 or less total runs in all 5 of Clements home starts this season and the opposition has scored 3 or less total runs in 18 of his last 22 home starts.

8:35 Eastern
Minnesota + over Lakers
After losing the opener a must win game for the T-Wolves if they want to stay alive in this series. A 2nd consecutive home loss to open the series would basically end the series. The T-Wolves are in a precarious position as it is as the winner of game #1 has won 10 of the 12 series thus far which is the playoff norm as the winner of game #1 has went on to win the series over 80% of the time. Have to side with Minnesota as a home underdog in a must win home game.
