Website update for Saturday, May 19, 2012
NHL, NBA & MLB Saturday by Greg Dempson
DB Williams is away and I'm continuing with the updates. Saturday is another off day but thanks to golf tournament plays my success rate was 2-0 Friday as Rollins made the cut while Overton didn't and C. Howell III continues play while J. Wagner doesn't. Saturday's update is complete I just do not like Inter-League play all that much, I do have a very strong opinion on the over at 6 runs in the lone non Inter-League contest in the Cardinals/Dodgers game.
NBA & NHL Playoffs plus MLB for Saturday May 19 by G. Dempson
My last Tweet on the Rangers on the run line at -1.5 runs was a winner as Texas won 4-1. There is no Tweet this evening, check back tomorrow and follow Greg on Twitter.
NBA Playoffs
Oklahoma City Thunder at LA Lakers, 10:35 ET
The Los Angeles Lakers trail 2-1 after a hard fought victory in game three. Tonight the odds makers have installed the Thunder as a 1 or 1.5 point road favorite and the total sits at 189 or 188.5, the lowest total in the series. In their last game the Lakers went 41 out of 42 at the free throw line and still only won by 3 points, 99-96 with the game staying under the total as LA held the Thunder to a post season low 39.8% shooting. Kobe Bryant, who was held to 20 points in each of the first two games of the series, has averaged 33.0 points in five home games this post season. I have an opinion on the road team and the over in tonight's contest. I like the Thunder better than my opinion on the over but did not wager on the game.
NHL Coaches Saturday - "Behind the Bench" by Greg Dempson
New York Rangers at New Jersey Devils, Saturday at 1:05 ET
New Jersey is favored by -130 in game three or this series and I like the host team as a lean only. I have conflicting data on the total and will pass there as well.There are numerous trends suggesting the game will play under the total but I will just watch.
Saturday's MLB featured game, pass, by Greg Dempson
Check back tomorrow for Sunday's game of the day.
Greg's baseball picks for 2012 have started the season strong. Here's the list of every play from March 28th on for full service clients - Greg Dempson MLB Picks
The Draft is history, Week 1 odds are up. Are you ready for some football?
The NBA playoffs are well underway and apparently there is no Magic in Orlando and no Lin-sanity in the Big Apple. Thunder abounds in Oklahoma and the Spurs aren't the least bit concerned about "All that Jazz." Rose is not a thorn in the side of the 76ers but the next game in that series will see a "Bullish" effort by Chicago. While the Lakers and Clippers are the buzz word in California, the new ownership of the Dodgers is partially Magical. And speaking of MLB, the season has one month under its belt and soon baseball will be the only team sport to wager on. On a sad note, the NFL lost a great player yesterday, goodbye Junior Seau, only you know why you called it quits so early in the second portion of your journey!
Greg Dempson does his job very well when it comes to handicapping NFL football and nobody knows NFL picks better than Greg. Visit www.thesportsmonitor.com and see for yourself. Since his inaugural season of monitored picks in 2000, no handicapper has placed in the top 25 more times (with more than 75 plays per season). Greg's early bird package for 2012 NFL winners will be available soon.
Billy Banks Tuesday Baseball Update
The Detroit Tigers will finish up a nine-game road trip this afternoon at US Cellular Field and Detroit has limped to the finish line, going 1-3 in the last four games.
The Tigers blew a 5-2 lead in yesterday’s ballgame and Drew Smyly lack of stamina continues to haunt his win-loss record but today, it’s Max Scherzer (2-3, 5.73 ERA) on the mound. Scherzer started slow this season but in his last two starts, he’s worked 13 and a third innings, holding the White Sox and A’s to a combined nine hits and three earned runs.
Scherzer has given up five home runs in seven starts this year and the winds are blowing out in Chicago, boosting the MLB odds for this game to White Sox -111 and 8 Over -115.

Greg Dempson's Free Pick for Saturday
The past two seasons my free picks have produced a record of 213-168-10 or 55.9% vs. the number. The highest juice was -135 on a hockey total and sometimes the winning hockey totals payed back at plus dollars. In baseball the maximum was -130 and sometimes a free selection was posted recommending a big underdog that won on the money line. This year the free picks are off to a slow start at 42-48-4 ATS. I'll correct that by posting more full service selections in the free pick section. I do not have a complementary selection posted so check back tomorrow and go to my Free Pick link.
