Odell Beckham Jr. is many things but he doesn't profess to be a doctor, so it should come as no surprise that the superstar wide receiver was all over the map with his diagnosis of his ailing ankle. Beckham initially revealed that he's dealing with a six-to-eight-week timeline before later shifting gears and declaring it could be a four-to-12-week issue heading into the New York Giants' home opener against the Detroit Lions on Monday.
Simple math suggests that the prime-time tilt will be exactly four weeks since Beckham initially sustained the injury in a preseason game against Cleveland on Aug. 21. The flashy wideout, who was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday, watched helplessly as New York's vanilla offense mustered just two first downs in the first half en route to a 19-3 setback versus Dallas last weekend. While Eli Manning was held out of the end zone, Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford overcame an early pick-six and threw for 292 yards and four touchdown passes in a 35-23 victory over Arizona last week. Signed to a five-year, $135 million contract extension, Stafford completed 70.7 percent of his passes last week - well above both the averages of last season (65.3) and his career (61.6).
TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN. LINE: Giants -3 O/U: 43.5
ABOUT THE LIONS (1-0): While Golden Tate reeled in team highs in catches (10) and receiving yards (107) last week, rookie Kenny Golladay made a favorable impression with a pair of fourth-quarter touchdown grabs. Pass-catching specialist Theo Riddick also had six catches with a TD reception, but his rushing contribution, when added with those of Ameer Abdullah and Dwayne Washington, resulted in just 51 yards on 22 carries for a 2.3-yard average per attempt. "It needs work," Lions coach Jim Caldwell said of the sputtering rushing attack. "It needs work. We just got to keep working at it and (it's) not where we want it yet."
ABOUT THE GIANTS (0-1): New York isn't thrilled with its ground game either, as Paul Perkins accounted for 16 of the team's 35 yards rushing in the season opener. Running back Shane Vereen did not record a carry but did provide Manning with a serviceable option out of the backfield by grabbing a team-high nine receptions. Second-year wideout Sterling Shepard, who had seven catches last week, joined Beckham in reeling in a touchdown reception in New York's 17-6 win over Detroit on Dec. 18. Veteran Brandon Marshall struggled to step up in Beckham's absence last week as he had just one catch for 10 yards in his debut with his new team.
EXTRA POINTS
1. New York DE Olivier Vernon had a sack last week to increase his total to 8.5 in his last 10 games.
2. Lions TE Eric Ebron, a New Jersey native, had just two catches last week and four in the previous encounter versus the Giants.
3. New York will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Super Bowl XLII championship team at halftime.

# 5 LUMMIS FIRST 7/2
# 2 A SPLASH OF ROYALTY 5/2
# 3 FURR SHEAR 5/1
LUMMIS FIRST is the best bet in this race. Garnered a formidable Equibase Speed Figure in the last race. Can run another good one in this race. Reid and Jeschke have a very good win percentage together. Profitable jock and conditioner team, with a +21 return on investment. FURR SHEAR - Robertson has one of the most competitive winning percentages in this group with entries running at this distance and surface. Should come out very solid - I have liked the way this gelding has moved promptly to the lead recently.

#4 SASS MASTER (ML=5/1)
#9 MUSIC MAKES SENSE (ML=4/1)
SASS MASTER - This front running sort should profit from this shorter trip. Good return on investment for this jock and trainer twosome. This mount ran out of the money at Suffolk Downs last out on the mud. She should improve right here with the benefit of a fast track. MUSIC MAKES SENSE - The jockey/handler tandem of Martinez and Parra has a strong return on investment together.

BOXING BETTY - This filly finished outside the top 3 on Jul 29th and wasn't close to winning last out either. CANDY EXPRESS - The effort last time around the track on Sep 7th probably won't hold up against stiffer competition when they turn for home. HONOR N GRACE - This mare hasn't had any recent good fortune in sprint races. Not easy to invest in her in this race.

This filly is in good physical condition, having run a nice race on Aug 23rd, finishing first. VOUCH FOR KITTEN - After the affair aboard this horse on August 28th, the jockey is going to know the mare much better. This mare is in first-rate physical condition right now. Ran first in the last race and comes back soon. ICONA - I definitely see positive things for this mount right here. PINK SATIN N LACE - This mare earned a nice speed fig of 66 in her last event. That speed rating should be strong enough to prove victorious today. Have to make this mare a strong challenger; she comes off a sharp effort on September 4th. Look at this pattern of improvement. 51/55/66 are the last three speed ratings.

The Boston Red Sox will try to start a new winning streak and inch closer to clinching the American League East when they visit the Baltimore Orioles on Monday for the opener of a three-game series. The Red Sox had won three in a row before dropping a 3-2 decision at Tampa Bay on Sunday while managing just three hits.
Boston remained three games up on the New York Yankees in the AL East and has a magic number of five to clinch a playoff spot. Boston played again Sunday without designated hitter Hanley Ramirez (shoulder) and lost right fielder Mookie Betts, who is day-to-day after leaving with a thumb contusion due to a collision at first base. The Orioles snapped a three-game slide with a 6-4 win in Yankee Stadium on Sunday, but they have a 5 1/2-game deficit to overcome in the race for the AL's second wild card. A pair of right-handers enjoying late-season success meet in the opener when Boston's Doug Fister opposes Dylan Bundy for the hosts.
TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, MLB Network, NESN (Boston), MASN (Baltimore)
PITCHING MATCHUP: Red Sox RH Doug Fister (5-8, 4.40 ERA) vs. Orioles RH Dylan Bundy (13-9, 4.03)
Fister has surprisingly worked his way into potential postseason rotation discussions amid a solid run, although he hit a snag last time out against Oakland. The Fresno State product had posted a 1.50 ERA through his previous four starts before giving up six runs in four frames versus the Athletics. He limited the Orioles to two runs in seven innings Aug. 27 and has a 4.24 ERA in 10 career encounters (nine starts) with Baltimore.
The Orioles are being careful with Bundy's workload down the stretch and he will be making just his second start in a span of 14 days. He has won five of his last six decisions and boasts quality starts in six of seven outings. The 24-year-old faced the Red Sox four times in the first two months of the season and held them to seven runs in 25 1/3 innings.
WALK-OFFS
1. Red Sox 2B Dustin Pedroia is 0-for-12 over his last two games.
2. Baltimore swept three straight at Fenway Park last month by a combined margin of 25-4.
3. Orioles LF Trey Mancini has three doubles, one triple and one home run during a seven-game hitting streak.

Preview: Brewers at Pirates
Gracenote
Sep 18, 2017
The Milwaukee Brewers have played some of their best baseball of late without making up much ground in the playoff race, so they need to continue their hot streak when they begin a three-game road series against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday. The only thing the Pirates have to play for is staying out of the cellar in the National League Central - they’re only two games ahead of last-place Cincinnati after Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Reds.
The Brewers have won seven of their last nine contests, including a three-game sweep of first-place Chicago, but they remain four games behind the Cubs and 2 1/2 in back of Colorado for the second NL wild card. "When you're chasing, you have little margin for error,” Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell told reporters. “The teams ahead of us are doing a good job of winning games, and we know the margin is slim. Losses make it a little bit slower. We'll answer." Pittsburgh's Jameson Taillon makes his first start in 11 days and looks to turn around a rocky second half during which he's posted a 7.17 ERA in 11 starts. Taillon has to deal with a Brewers lineup that matched a season high with 16 hits in Sunday’s 10-3 win over Miami, although half of those hits came during an eight-run fourth inning.
TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, FSN Wisconsin (Milwaukee), AT&T SportsNet-Pittsburgh
PITCHING MATCHUP: Brewers LH Brent Suter (2-2, 3.66 ERA) vs. Pirates RH Jameson Taillon (7-6, 4.78)
Suter doesn’t have a win since July 28, going 0-1 with a 6.33 ERA in six games (five starts) since then. The 28-year-old still is getting stretched out after returning from a rotator cuff injury on Sept. 3 and was limited to 50 pitches over three innings against the Pirates on Tuesday, but he should throw 70-75 this time around. Suter has posted a 2.77 ERA without recording a decision in six games (two starts) versus Pittsburgh.
Taillon is winless in his last five starts, going 0-1 with a 5.84 ERA since a triumph at Toronto on Aug. 11.

GAME: Minnesota Twins (78-71) at New York Yankees (82-67)
DATE/TIME: Monday, September 18 - 7:05 PM EST
WHERE: Yankee Stadium, Bronx, New York
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A
Preview: Twins at Yankees
Gracenote
Sep 18, 2017
The Minnesota Twins created a little momentum as they embark on a season-defining, 11-game road trip that starts Monday with the first of three contests against the New York Yankees in what could be a preview of the American League wild-card matchup. Minnesota collected 16 hits, including a grand slam by Joe Mauer, en route to a 13-7 victory over Toronto on Sunday to salvage a split of the four-game series.
Eddie Rosario (two) and Byron Buxton also homered among three hits and two RBIs apiece for the Twins, who lead the Los Angeles Angels by two games for the AL’s second wild-card spot. The Yankees hold a four-game lead for the first wild card but have loftier goals in mind as they trail first-place Boston by three games in the AL East and play 10 of their final 13 contests at home. New York lost two of three at Minnesota in mid-July, with Didi Gregorius hitting the only homer in the series for the club, and the shortstop has gone deep in each of his last three games to push his career-best totals to 24 blasts and 81 RBIs. The Yankees shuffled their rotation in order to give Jaime Garcia the start on Monday against the team from which they acquired him in late July, while the Twins counter with ace Ervin Santana.
TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, MLB Network, FSN North (Minnesota), YES (New York)
PITCHING MATCHUP: Twins RH Ervin Santana (15-7, 3.35 ERA) vs. Yankees LH Jaime Garcia (5-9, 4.35)
Santana is unbeaten in his last 10 starts, recording four victories in that span, and struck out seven over six scoreless innings in a no-decision versus San Diego last time out. The 34-year-old Dominican is 9-2 with a 2.74 ERA and three complete games in 14 starts on the road this year. Matt Holliday (5-for-12, two homers) and Greg Bird (2-for-3, two homers) have caused problems for Santana, who is 6-9 lifetime against the Yankees.
Garcia notched the victory in his lone start with Minnesota before being shipped to New York, where he has gone 0-2 with a 4.60 ERA in six outings. The 31-year-old Mexican gave up one earned run in each of his last two turns but only was able to work a total of 9 2/3 innings due to pitch counts. Jason Castro has homered against Garcia, who pitched six scoreless frames in his only career start versus the Twins.
WALK-OFFS
1. The Twins have matched the club record by homering in 16 straight games, while Yankees RF Aaron Judge leads the AL with 43 blasts.
2. New York 3B Todd Frazier went hitless in Sunday's 6-4 loss to Baltimore but has recorded four homers and 12 RBIs in his last 10 contests.
3. Mauer needs one double to reach 400 in his career and is two runs away from tying Rod Carew (950) for third place in franchise history.
