Meeting up on the diamond . . .
Unbeaten in five starts so far this season, Mariners righthander Felix Hernandez will be looking to stay on a roll on Monday night when he takes to the mound at home against the division-rival Rangers. Hernandez is 4-0 with a 2.38 ERA through five outings in 2009, and he’s tossed 15 scoreless innings (allowing just eight hits) over his last two starts.

Basketball Betting – Monday NBA Playoff Picks
Part of what makes playoff basketball betting so grueling is that it never rests—round one ended Sunday and round two rages on with no break in the action. Let’s review tonight’s NBA lines.
Magic vs Celtics odds: Tonight at
NBA odds: Celtics -2.5
Some NBA betting fans may think the 2.5-point margin is small for Game 1 of the Magic vs Celtics odds, but it’s understandable given what the Celtics have just been through. The Bulls pushed them to the brink in a seven-game war that many people betting online called the greatest first-round series of all time. With four games in that series reaching overtime, the Celtics essentially played roughly nine games. For that reason, they’ll be hard-pressed to win the Magic vs Celtics series line overall, especially with no Kevin Garnett to defend against Dwight Howard. However, the Celts should be riding high after their Game-7 triumph and should have their legs in Game 1. Expect Rajon Rondo, who has elevated his game to a new level during this postseason, to go off against the Magic tonight.

Here‘s a basketball betting matchup that could be closer than many people predict. Kobe Bryant and the Lakers are heavy favorites to win this series and eventually reach the NBA Finals for their inevitable clash against the Cavaliers, but
