May 7th

Sorry guys, I work at 6 in the morning so this has to be a quick write up

1) PAOK Salonika or draw vs Atromitos
In their two matches in the regular season, Salonika won 3-1 at home, and there was a 0-0 draw at Atromitos.  Atromitos showed excellent skill in drawing Panathinkios in their first playoff game, but I don't think they fare as well against Salonika.  I'll take PAOK Salonika and the draw option.

2) Wigan or draw vs Blackburn
Wigan has been in fantastic form, and a win or draw here will keep them out of the relegation zone for sure.  Blackburn needs the three points, but I don't think they get them.  Wigan or draw.

3) Halladay K in the first?
Simple math here, Halladay has 29 K's in 42 innings, I'll take a K.

4) HR innings 3-6?
Halladay has given up one HR in 42.1 innings, thats .0238 HR's per inning, or .0952 HR's per 4 innings.  Niese has given up 4 HR's in 28.2 innings, or .143 HR's per inning, or  .571 HR's per 4 innings.  Even though this combines to .663 HR's, or a 66.3% chance, I don't think the Phillies bats will be able to hit one, so I'll take No.

5) Run in the 8th?
Keeping in mind the O/U of 6.5, I'll take no run.

6) Predators vs Coyotes
So far this series the Predators have outshot the Coyotes 126-119.  How they ended up down 3-1 is a mystery to me, I mean shots aren't everything, but that's rough luck.  Also, the Predators have the same W-L record on the road as the Coyotes do at home (22-19). Also the Predators will have Alexander Radulov back who missed Game 3 and 4, (13 points in 16 games), and Matt Halischuk, defenseman for the Coyotes will be on suspension (72 minutes on the ice this series).  I'll take the Predators to make it a 3-2 series.
