This game features the Pacers at the Heat. Pacers put up a great fight in game one as we won by taking the Pacers plus the points. But losing like they did in game 1 with a layup by Lebron James had to be a hard pill to swallow. The Heat shot 64 percent from the foul line, committed 21 turnovers, missed 13 of 18 shots from 3-point range and key reserves Ray Allen, Shane Battier and Norris Cole combined to miss 14 of 16 shots from the floor. I expect a huge improvement over game 1 The Heat were similarly flat in Game 1 during their last series against the Bulls after a long layoff. The Heat ended up losing that one - their only playoff loss in 10 games. I expect the Heat to come out tonight in game 2 like they did against the Bulls in game 2 and blow them out. Miami is well aware that the Pacers won Game 2 in Miami last year when the teams met in a second-round series. I see the Heat stepping it up just like they did in Game 2 versus the Bulls. The public is on the Pacers at a rate of 67% take the Heat minus the points for another huge winner!

8*

This game features the 29-18 Pirates at the 18-27 Brewers. Brewers at a time owned the Pirates but lately the pirates have gotten some wins versus the Brewers. Tonight the Brewers turn the tables. Pirates ace A.J. Burnett with his 3-4 2.57 ERA take the mound tonight against the struggling Marco Estrada for the Brew Crew. Look for the Brewers to come out strong tonight and win easily as the public is backing the Pirates with 71% of the bets. The line opened up at -120 Pirates and now even with the money on their side the Brewers have moved to the slight favorite. I'm taking the Brewers for a large 10* play tonight to win.
