Easy Money.......
The Phillies are -145 on the road against the Cardinals tonight. Sporting a 9-2 record in their last eleven games, the Phillies are hitting stride. Furthermore the Cardinals are 2-8 in their last ten games and to make matters worse, they are facing Cliff Lee. While Kyle Lohse is a very serviceable pitcher, he is not in the same league as Lee. Add in the fact that Albert Pujols is out of the Cardinals lineup for sometime to come and you have an easy play. Phillies -145 over the Cards tonight......

Welcome Aboard.......
Instead of Isaac serving up drinks, instead I offer Dream serving up winners live from Congressional. After a long week, I just received a message from Dream informing me to take the Yankees -200 and the run line. This is one of those games where you hold your nose and lay the wood. Tonight's play.....Yankees -200 and Yankees runline, courtesy of Dream.

Narrow Escape.....
After sitting ice side for one of the worst games in Stanley Cup Playoff history, let alone a game 7, hockey guru "Dream" decided to take his act on the road. Lucky for Dream, he was able to avoid the mayhem that ensued by leaving at the end of the second period, before the idiots took to the streets. Upon hearing of the chaos, I immediately texted Dream to get his take on a rare gaming loss, as well as to make sure he and his crew of babes were not injured.
"The Peurto Rican Day Parade times a hundred" - Dream
As someone who in no stranger to the streets of NYC, Dream could only muster up the aforementioned quote upon seeing the footage/destruction in Vancouver. The only time he had ever encountered anything like this was during one of the Peurto Rican Day Parades back in the mid 1990's, when he made the mental mistake of walking through Central Park. Before I digress any further, I wanted to express a "Mea Culpa" from Dream for his game 7 gaffe. While he figured goaltending would keep this series close, in the end he was expecting a low scoring game 7 with the Canucks prevailing. Despite nailing the Under(5), the loss on the game really touched a nerve.
As a courtesy to Propick loyalists everywhere, tonight's play is a freebie courtesy of Dream. Consider this a lotto ticket.....Under 8 in the Indians-Pirates game. Between the two of these teams they have about $47 in salary and that should be enough to keep this game low scoring.

The Most Interesting Man in the Gaming World.........
Prior to the start of the Stanley Cup Series between the Bruins and Canucks, resident hockey guru and cultural icon, "Dream", called me with a prediction: Canucks in seven.
With game 7 less than an hour away, I received a follow up call from Dream, who is rinkside for this epic battle. Despite some dicey reception courtesy of Dream's Iphone, the message was loud and clear: "Vancouver wins 2-1 tonight. Take Vancouver and the Under".
As Dream basks in the glory of his "Roy Hobb's like call", he was quick to point out that all this travelling is taking its toll. With a jaunt to the US Open in the near future, Dream's racking up mucho miles on his netjets card. After his last release, several Propick Sports members inquired as to who Dream is and where he can be seen.
People, with all due respect, Dream is like a mythic creature who was conjured up by the gaming gods. This man is a human blackbox spitting out hockey winners with unrivaled acumen. That being said, for everyone watching tonight's game look for the sharp looking cat surrounded by what can only be described as "a parade of babes".
After tonight, Dream goes back into lockdown mode until the end of Baseball season. While I will not tell you what to do....I would heed Dream's advice and go large on Vancouver and the Under.

Practice?
Dallas -2.5 over the Heat. In an effort to be a succinct as possible I will spare my loyal fans a verbose analysis on why the Mavs will cover tonight. As many of you remember, I have compared the NBA to professional wrestling in the past. While David Stern and company would have loved a Kobe vs Lebron NBA Finals, instead they got a less celebrated matchup. Guess what, this series needs to go a minimum of 6 games in order to stay relevant.
Tonight's release....Mavericks -3 over the Heat.
Happy 37th Birthday Allen Iverson. Despite a stellar career, Iverson may be best remembered for his quote during a 1997 press conference in which he so eloquently said "Practice? We talkin bout practice? How the hell can I make my teammates better by practice. We aren't talkin about games...we talkin about practice. I'm supposed to be the franchise player and here we are talkin about practice. Upon hearing Iverson's message I immediately thought "whoever came up with practice makes perfect", was completely full of crap. Just ask Iverson himself, aka "the answer".

Lord of the Pucks........
As I stewed over blog post number 400 for the better part of ten weeks, I decided that tonight would be the perfect time to return to my craft. After receiving several voicemails from gaming icon, Dream, I would be negligent in my responsibilities if I were to further withhold his Stanley Cup releases. For those of you living under a rock in Southeast Asia for the past two years, Dream is Propick Sports resident hockey expert. Last season Dream posted a 13-2-1 record during the regular and post season. Furthermore, Dream is also no stranger to the bases or pigskin.
After a medical condition landed Dream in a Connecticut hospital (not at liberty to disclose the exact location but here's a hint..."follow the money"), Dream is back in the saddle and can smell blood in the water. In games 1 and 2, dream's prescient calls were a thing of beauty. Despite some sweating in game 2, Vancouver was able to eek out a 3-2 win at home and seemingly take command of this best of seven series.
Not so fast.....As Dream mentioned to me once this series began, goaltending would be the reason for Boston staying in this series and eventually losing in seven games (ironic that Boston goalie Tim Thomas played the role of goat in game 2). While Vancouver is the better team, this series has all the trappings of a dogfight, inspite of many "so called experts" suggesting otherwise.
At Bruins -115, Dream sees this as a complete no brainer. Let the snake oil salesmen and pundits alike, call for a sweep. In the eyes of Dream, this line is a gift.
Tonight's release ...courtesy of the Dream: Bruins -115 over Vancouver.
On a side note, the only thing worse than former Mets General Manager and ESPN commentator's taste in women is New York Congressman Anthony Weiner's tearful apology for sending inappropriate twitter photos to random women. As Dream so adroitly pointed out, "the guy actually looks like a Weiner. This guy gives new meaning to:don't ask, don't tell with that emaciated frame". As many a lady can attest to, "no one is confusing Weiner with Dream anytime soon". With multiple triatholon's under his belt, along with a clean bill of health, Dream is ready to kick ass and take names starting with tonight's action.
