Denver at San Antonio 8:00 ET

Nuggets (+) over Spurs- For the first seven quarters of this series the Spurs had the best of it until Denver's Jamal Murray went berserk and lit up San Antonio. So, here we have it, The Nuggets after that rough start have negated the over-rated DeMar DeRozan and stifled LaMarcus Aldridge for the most part. Head-to-head the Nuggets are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings and San Antonio is 1-6 ATS in their Last seven home games. Take DENVER!

Arizona at Pittsburgh 12:35 ET

Pirates over Diamondbacks- It seems to me that the odds makers are not in Zack Greinke (3-1, 4.60 ERA) corner this series as he gets no respect. He was won his last two starts, has a lifetime 8-4 record against Pittsburgh with an outstanding 1.03 ERA in 13 career appearances and the D'backs have won eight of their last 10. The Pirates will start Jameson Taillon (1-2. 3.12) who posted his only win of the season Saturday against the Giants...Take PITTSBURGH!

L.A. Dodgers at Chicago Cubs 2:20 ET

Dodgers over Cubs- It seems an bit strange to me that the Dodgers are favored here which means that Chicago ace Jon Lester (1-0, 2.57 ERA) a home underdog. (now, that just doesn't make sense) Los Angeles has lost seven of 13 on the road while the Cubs are 7-3 at home and the Dodgers are favored against Chicago's best hurler. LA will start Ross Stripling (1-1, 3.07) who is 0-1 with a 2.12 ERA against the Cubs in five games while Lester is 4-3 with a 3.35 ERA in nine career starts against the Dodgers. The 'numbers' just don't seem 'right.' Take the DODGERS!

Atlanta at Cincinnati 6:40 ET

Reds over Braves- The Reds have split the first two games of this series and are lucky at that when we see that they have left 18 runners on base. Cincinnati who is 6-6 at home this season carry the lowest MLB batting average at .199 and yet come up the favorite here because of starter Luis Castillo (2-1, 1.47 ERA) who has the second lowest ERA among starters in the NL and has allowed only one earned run in each of his four starts. Atlanta will start Julio Teheran (2-2, 5.61) who is 3-3 with a 3.95 ERA against the Reds but did not face them last season. Take CINCINNATI!

New York Yankees at L.A. Angels 9:07 ET

Angels over Yankees- 'Break-up the Yankees'...the cry of the  also-rans during the 1950's as they dominated baseball with nine World Series appears in 10 years. Currently, the Yankees are 'all broke up' as they have 13 players on the IL including seven All-stars. But, that isn't keeping New York from winning as they are at a season high six-game winning streak and have won eight of their last nine. Tonight the Yanks will start Masahiro Tanaka (2-1, 2.76 ERA) and he is perfect against the Angels 3-0 with a 1.59 ERA in six career starts. LA will start their ace Trevor Cahill (1-2, 5.47) who has struggled against New York going 1-4 with a 10.09 ERA in seven career appearances against NY. Yet, well, like I said at the top, these Yankees are all 'broke up' and are not the same club. Take LOS ANGELES!

Dallas at St. Louis 9:30 ET

Blues over Stars- St. Louis is probably the biggest surprise team to make the playoffs as they had the worst record in the NHL in mid-December and have showed that they belong by taking their opening series against Winnipeg. The Blues are 5-2 in their last seven overall and are 6-2 against teams with a winning record. Dallas is 6-1 in the last seven meetings but the home team is 7-3 in the last 10. Take ST. LOUIS!
