Tiger-Cats at Stampeders: What bettors need to know

Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Calgary Stampeders (-6, 57)

The Calgary Stampeders are playing their best football of the season, riding a three-game winning streak and tied for the West Division lead after winning back-to-back contests against the rival Edmonton Eskimos. The Stampeders will host the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Friday at McMahon Stadium, where they are 4-0. Calgary third-string quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell has taken full advantage of the opportunity afforded him by injuries to Drew Tate and Kevin Glenn, completing 70-of-98 passes for 850 yards, with eight touchdowns and only one interception.

Quarterback Henry Burris has the Tiger-Cats on a roll. Hamilton has won four of its last five games after splitting a home-and-home series with the BC Lions and Burris leads the league with 3,181 passing yards - 612 more than any other quarterback. Burris, named offensive player of the week after throwing four touchdown passes against the Lions, is 217 yards away from reaching 50,000 in his career and should have no problem reaching it with a healthy receiving corps that includes wide receivers Greg Ellingson, Bakari Grant and Andy Fantuz

TV: 9 p.m. ET, TSN

LINE: Calgary opened as a 6.5-point favorite and has been bet down to -6. The total has moved from 56 to 57 points.

WEATHER: Temperatures in the low 80s with clear skies and winds blowing NNW as high as 15 mph.

ABOUT THE TIGER-CATS (5-5, 5-5 ATS): Coach Kent Austin praised Hamilton’s defensive effort following its Week 11 victory over BC, when Lions quarterback Travis Lulay was sacked three times and faced pressure all game. “He’s unbelievably tough, so we knew we weren’t going to get a lot of sacks, but we needed to pressure him, hit him, hurry him, and we were able to do that tonight,” Austin said. Linebacker Brandon Isaac and defensive lineman Eric Norwood each recorded their first sacks in the contest, while defensive lineman Brandon Boudreaux leads the team with four.

ABOUT THE STAMPEDERS (8-2, 7-3 ATS): Running back Jon Cornish was named Canadian player of the week for the third time in 2013 after recording 177 yards from scrimmage against the Eskimos. Cornish is second in the league with 940 rushing yards and should eclipse his career-high of 1,457 if he stays healthy. Mitchell took over as Calgary’s starting quarterback for the second time this season after Glenn suffered a knee injury in the Labour Day Classic. Tate remains out indefinitely while continuing to battle inflammation in his elbow.

TRENDS:

* Over is 4-1 in the last five meetings in Calgary.
* Over is 4-1 in the last five meetings.
* Stampeders are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games overall.
* Tiger-Cats are 5-0 ATS in their last five games overall.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. Calgary K Rene Paredes has made 31-of-32 field goals and leads the league with 122 kicking points.

2. Hamilton RB C.J. Gable has a team-leading 355 rushing yards and 689 yards from scrimmage despite missing time with injuries.

3. The Tiger-Cats are 2-4 against West Division opponents; Calgary is 4-0 against the East.

Air Force at Boise State: What bettors need to know

Air Force Falcons at Boise State Broncos (-23.5, 57)

Boise State's dalliance with the Top 25 may have been brief, but the Broncos showed last week that they're eager to return. Fresh off a 49-point drubbing of Tennessee-Martin, head coach Chris Petersen's club looks to continue its march toward a Mountain West Conference title as it entertains the Air Force Falcons on Friday night. Air Force had to do without starting quarterback Kale Pearson last time out, and it showed as the Falcons were thumped 52-20 by Utah State.

Air Force head coach Troy Calhoun has already made peace with the fact that Peterson, who suffered a knee in the season-opening 38-13 victory over Colgate, likely won't return against the Broncos. That should spell concern for a Falcons squad that struggled to fashion any sort of aerial attack against the Aggies last weekend. Boise State had no such trouble against Tennessee-Martin, as quarterback Joe Southwick racked up 234 passing yards and five touchdowns.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, ESPN

LINE: Boise State has been a steady 23.5-point favorite throughout the week. The total has dropped slightly from 57.5 to 57.

WEATHER: Temperatures in the mid-80s with partly cloudy skies and winds blowing S as high as 11 mph.

ABOUT AIR FORCE (1-1, 0-2 ATS): Calhoun was succinct when explaining his team's loss, which was punctuated by a stretch in which Utah State scored on four straight series to effectively put the game away. "I think we got thumped in every possible way in this game," Calhoun told the Air Force News Service. "In the first half, we had a chance to make some plays that we didn't make." The Falcons boast a potent running game that has averaged better than 285 yards per game - good for 18th in the nation - and should excel in the triple-option offense against a Boise State team that has struggled with run defense.

ABOUT BOISE STATE (1-1, 1-1 ATS): Last weekend's win was critical in helping restore the confidence of a Broncos team that plummeted out of the rankings following a 38-6 loss to the Washington Huskies in the season opener - the program's worst defeat since 2005. The Boise State defense still surrendered 362 total yards to Tennessee-Martin and has allowed an average of 210 rushing yards through the first two games - and Petersen blames tackling troubles. "You create space, you're going to miss tackles. We have to get more guys to the point of attack. One guy is not going to make the tackle in space."

TRENDS:

* Air Force is 1-10 ATS in its last 11 games.
* The over is 6-1 in the Falcons' last seven September games.
* Boise State is 3-11 ATS in its last 14 conference games.
* The under is 5-2 in the Broncos' last seven games following a SU win of more than 20 points.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. The Broncos are 80-4 at home since 2000.

2. Air Force is 12-10 in Mountain West road games under Calhoun.

3. Boise State prevailed 37-26 in the only previous meeting between the teams back in 2011.

*BOISE STATE over AIR FORCE by 18
The Broncos of Boise State have not been impressive against option attacks, the
kind Air Force deploys. They were all-out to beat New Mexico last season, not
coming close to covering the spread. They beat Air Force by only 11 points in 2011
(also not covering), and Air Force out-clocked them 36:18 to 23:42 despite the
presence of now-NFL talents Kellen Moore and Doug Martin as the Boise QB and
RB. The Mountain West Conference forced them to get rid of the blue-on-blue eyeball nightmare (blue unis, blue home field), and now opponents are seeing things
in a clearer perspective against them. They have failed to cover five of their last
seven games overall, including the last three conference home games they played
last season.

INCREDIBLE STAT OF THE WEEK

Air Force is 17-5 SU and 18-3 ATS in road openers since 1991, including 15-1 ATS as a dog.

BOISE ST over Air Force by 17
Despite last week’s 63-14 destruction of lowly Tennessee-Martin, Boise is
still feeling blue – and not in a good way – about its 1-1 start. The Broncos’
stunning 38-6 season-opening debacle against Washington, their worst
loss since a 48-13 whipping at Georgia in 2005, seriously damaged the
credibility of a program that had lost only 5 games in the previous fi ve
seasons. Speaking of damage, the Flyboys let us down hard as a 4* Best
Bet call with their uncharacteristically lethargic effort against Utah State
last week, losing 52-20. Troy Calhoun’s most humbling home loss in 6-plus
seasons at the Academy saw the Falcons rush for only 162 yards (3.3 YPC)
while the defense crashed and burned beneath a 577-yard onslaught. The
combination of that dreadful performance with Boise’s urgent need to
re-establish themselves as a national contender has driven this line way
out of whack. We’re not buying, not with the Broncos going 0-4 ATS in
the second of back-to-back homers, 1-11 ATS as conference chalk of 15
or more points, and 1-3 ATS in weekday games on the blue rug. Those are
pretty lousy numbers for a team that has met with as much ATS success as
Boise State and this year’s offense is far from hitting on all cylinders (won
the stats by just over 100 yards against Tenn-Martin). Our database backs
the Force, noting that military dogs of 20 or more points are 70-35-4 ATS,
plus the Falcons have been money in the bank playing Game Three, going
10-2 ATS.

WINNING POINTS

BASEBALL SELECTIONS

BEGINNING FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 13

Cincinnati at Milwaukee (3) 13th, 14th, 15th
Barring the unlikely, all three NL Central contenders will certainly
make the post-season, though there’s a tight race underway for the
division title.The Brewers have been miserable vs.lefthanders in 2013
(13-27, -$1445) and they’ll have to contend with Tony Cingrani (2.63
ERA in 17 starts), who recently returned to the rotation following a
stint on the DL.
BEST BET: Cingrani.

Kansas City at Detroit (3) 13th, 14th, 15th
The Royals have turned a nice profit vs.their division foe (+$550) and
their top ranked pitching staff (3.53 ERA, best in the AL) looks like a
terrific value as underdogs here at Comerica. The Tigers dropped a
pair to KC southpaws last week, adding to their shocking losses in
that situation this year (-$1770).
BEST BET: Lefthanders vs. the Tigers.

Baltimore at Toronto (3) 13th, 14th, 15th
The Blue Jays have been playing excellent baseball in recent days (8-
2, +$725 last 10 days, averaging 5.3 runs per game with a 2.56 ERA
among starters).The Orioles have plenty of punch, but the pitching is
still sub-par (4.28 team ERA) so the home team looks good at the
right price.
BEST BET: Blue Jays at -115 or less

N.Y.Yankees at Boston (3) 13th, 14th, 15th
The Red Sox have brutalized the Yankees in 2013 (10-6, +$265), taking 3 out of 4 just last weekend in the Bronx.They’ve been victorious
in 9 of their last 12 (+$510) and their offense (.277 BA, 5.2 runs per
game) can take advantage of a New York rotation that looks very vulnerable at the moment (5.82 ERA last 10 days).Boston is a big moneymaker at Fenway this year (+$1000).
BEST BET: Red Sox in all games.

Oakland at Texas (3) 13th, 14th, 15th
These teams have been trading first place in the AL West back and
forth all season long, but the A’s have the hot hand at the moment (9-
3, +$560 in their last 12).The Rangers have been unsuccessful in day
games (only 18-21, -$1040) so take a shot with the visitor in the two
afternoon contests.
BEST BET: Athletics in day games.

Tampa Bay at Minnesota (3) 13th, 14th, 15th
The floundering Rays (3-8, -$760 in their last 11) have lost sight of
Boston in the AL East race,and could use a break in order to hold onto
a wildcard slot.A visit to Target Field could be helpful. Minnesota is
just 1-4 in head to head play with Tampa Bay (-$230) and they’ve been
a disaster in this ballpark all season (-$920). If the price is reasonable
we’ll go with the visitor.
BEST BET: Rays at -140 or less.

Air Force's ground-attack heads to Boise Friday
by Nick Bracken

Kickoff: Friday, 8:00 p.m. ET
Line: Boise State -23.5, Total: 57.5

Air Force will head to the blue turf on Friday to face heavily favored Boise State.

While Air Force is coming off a dreadful 32-point loss to MWC foe Utah State, Boise State is coming off a 63-14 rebound win after a very disappointing loss to Washington in the season opener. The Falcons (0-2 ATS) look to keep their ground-and-pound running game going Friday. Air Force averages just 90 yards passing a game compared to 285 yards on the ground, which is good for 18th in the country. The Broncos have showed porous run defense (208 YPG), which must change in order to stop the relentless Air Force ground game. Boise and Air Force have only met once in the past 20 years in 2011 when the Broncos ousted the Falcons 37-26 in a much closer game than people expected. Air Force used its run game to keep it close by rushing for 264 yards and dominated the time of possession, with more than 36 minutes to less than 24 for the Broncos. Air Force will have to put last weeks' blowout loss behind them, which they have not been good at in the past, with a miserable 1-13 ATS mark coming off a loss of 21+ points to a conference rival. Air Force overall is just 3-12 ATS over the past two years. Since Chris Petersen has taken over the Broncos, they have become a perennial powerhouse and are a very profitable 51-37 ATS overall, including 26-14 ATS in the first half of the season.

Air Force junior Jonathan Lee has been dynamic, rushing for 149 yards on just 18 carries for the year. Alongside Lee is Broam Hart who has 125 yards of his own on 25 carries. Regardless of the run game, the Falcons will have no shot Friday if they don't show up defensively like last week against Utah State when they allowed 577 total yards and 52 points. The famous blue turf also may be a problem for the Falcons on Friday. You would think Air Force's ground game would flourish on turf, but the Falcons are just 4-10 ATS when playing on the foreign substance. Air Force hasn't always been known to get off to great starts either, going 2-6 ATS in September.

The Broncos come into Friday night still trying to forget about their upset loss to Washington in the season opener. In that defeat to the Huskies, Boise State was completely dominated, allowing a total of 592 yards and letting Washington convert 11-of-15 third downs. Senior QB Joe Southwick played very well last week, tossing five touchdowns with no picks. He didn't fare as well against the much tougher Huskies defense, which he did not find the end zone against, but did find the opposing team once. Jay Ajayi will look to make Southwick's life easier by getting an effective run game going. Ajayi has averaged just 4.6 yards a carry this year, which has been disappointing, compared to his 6.7 YPC average last year. Boise State, once the Gonzaga of college football, has become a household name with big expectations. This has brought on large point spreads, which the Broncos have been bad at covering. Boise is 1-6 ATS in the past seven games when the spread is 21.5 to 30 points. The well-known blue turf hasn't been as kind as expected ATS either. The Broncos are just 4-10 ATS in home games since the start of 2011.

2 UNIT = Colorado Rockies @ Arizona Diamondbacks - UNDER 9 RUNS (-114) *bought from 8.5 up to 9
Listed Pitchers: Chatwood vs McCarthy
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 1.75 units)

The Rockies finished off a series with the Giants on Wednesday losing 2 of 3 and they've now lost 7 of their last 9 games overall. During their last 6 games they've scored 3 or fewer runs 5 times. The Dbacks took one from the Dodgers on Wednesday but had lost three straight games prior to that. Arizona has really struggled putting up runs lately, scoring no more than 4 runs in a game over their last 14 games where they are averaging just 2.29 runs per game. Tonight the Rockies will send Tyler Chatwood to the mound who is 7-4 on the season with a 3.17 ERA, .279 OBA and 1.42 WHIP. Away from hitters friendly Coors Field Chatwood is 3-2 with a low 2.60 ERA, .243 OBA and 1.18 WHIP. He pitched well in his latest start going 6 innings giving up 5 hits and 1 earned run. Bradon McCarthy will counter for Arizona and he is 4-9 on the season with a 4.66 ERA. At home his numbers are much better as he is 2-4 with a 3.94 ERA, .268 OBA and 1.14 WHIP. In his last start he went 8 innings giving up 6 hits and just 1 earned run with 6 strikeouts and a walk. Take note that the UNDER is 4-1-1 in the Rockies last 6 overall, 13-4-5- in their last 22 road games, and 6-1 in Chatwood's last 7 road starts. The UNDER is 6-2 in the Diamondbacks last 8 overall, 5-2 in their last 7 home games, and 5-0 in McCarthy's last 5 home starts. The UNDER is also 18-6-2 in these two teams last 26 meetings and 12-3-2 in their last 17 meetings in Arizona. Take the UNDER.

Game: Baltimore at Toronto (7:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: Toronto +114 (moneyline) at Diamond

The Toronto Blue Jays were expected to contend in the AL East, but with already having played 107 games vs. teams .500 or better, the division and schedule has been an improbable task. Baltimore blew a huge opportunity at home vs. the surging Yankees, dropping three straight after winning the opener, and they could be feeling a bit hung over here, losing last night on a wild pitch. Jason Hammel has been their worst option all season as his ERA stands at 5.11, and the Jays do swing the bats. The Orioles are desperate for a win, but face a tall order here behind Hammel, as they are just 1-10 in his last 11 starts. Baltimore's track record here has been a dismal, 12-39 in their last 51 played over the border. Play is on Toronto.

I do not expect things to get any easier tonight againstBoise State, a team that has one of the most prolific offenses over the lastdecade. After their loss to Washington, Boise State got back on track in a bigway last week against an FCS team, and I do not expect them to have muchopposition against the Falcons this week. Air Force is really reloading onoffense this year with only four starters returning. Boise State needs astatement win to get back into the Top 25 rankings, and thus I expect them toput up close to 60 points on the board tonight. Air Force is just 1-10 ATS in theirlast 11 games. Boise State has covered five of their last six games played onFriday.

http://sportswagers.ca/graphics/icons/logo_5.pngCleveland @ CHICAGO
Cleveland -1½ +127 over CHICAGO


2:10 PM EST. The White Sox are more like the Bad News Bears. They continue to make mental and physical mistakes at an alarming rate and that suggests their collective heads are not in this thing. The South Side has dropped three in a row while being outscored 24-4. They’ve also lost 11 of their past 14 games and they’ll face a pitcher here they’ve never seen before in Danny Salazar. Salazar’s skills have electric. He has 45 K’s in 37 innings, a .209 BAA, a 1.05 WHIP, a 2.92 ERA and a just about equal xERA of 3.05. Danny Salazar owns some of the best raw stuff of any SP in MLB, including a 96 mph four-seam fastball and a dominant splitter. He also dominates both lefty and righty bats and should thrive here against a disinterested group of weak hitters. The Indians are a bit risky spotting 1½ runs against right-handers but against lefties, they thrive with the second best batting average in the majors. Cleveland faces a lefty here in Hector Santiago. Despite delivering a sub-3.50 ERA for Chicago last season, Santiago found himself in the bullpen entering 2013, the same place he began 2012 before being moved to the rotation. History seems to be repeating itself, as Santiago is once again starting, and, on the surface, thriving.But the skills reveal the reason why Chicago seems hesitant to deem him a full-time starter. Santiago is a walk machine with a fly-ball tilt, a combination that generally tends to produce blow-ups. He's also been the beneficiary of a favorable strand %, which has contributed to the wide ERA/xERA gap. Santiago’s strikeout rate is also decreasing. His decent strikeout rate previously acted as damage control for his wildness but if it doesn't rebound, he becomes a far riskier play. Santiago sports a surprisingly tame 61%/11% dominant start/disaster start split for a pitcher who on the surface looks so disaster prone, but, given his unfavorable home park and clear home/road ERA splits (4.03 / 2.60), he still profiles as a pitcher who is in for some nasty outings before season's end.



Our Pick
Cleveland -1½ +127 (Risking 2 units - To Win: 2.54)




http://sportswagers.ca/graphics/icons/logo_5.pngChicago @ PITTSBURGH
PITTSBURGH -1½ +129 over Chicago


Jake Arietta has two wins in seven starts since the Orioles dumped him off to Chicago. He’s made one road start since the trade and barely made it through five innings after walking five and allowing four runs in those five innings. In total, Arietta has made 11 starts this year and only three of them have been quality one’s. Last year we went 3-9 with a 6.20 ERA in 109 IP at Baltimore. Arrieta has a history of control issues and nothing has changed. He’s already walked 37 batters in 57 frames this year and 17 over his past 28 innings. His line-drive rate is at an alarming 31% and he does not have the luxury of the winds blowing in here like they do at Wrigley. Against a focused and determined Pirates club that has reeled off four straight including a sweep in Texas, Arietta has little chance for success. He’s officially on our stiff list. The Cubbies have the league’s worst team batting average in the league on the road at .228. Things don’t figure to improve here against Charlie Morton. Morton has been one of MLB's most dominating pitchers during his second half return from 2012 Tommy John surgery with a 3.13 ERA and an absolute elite 65% groundball rate. And he's more than a groundball machine. He has a 94 mph average four-seam fastball. He's still refining the pitch mix that will generate more swings-and-misses from batters, but with his good velocity and the best groundball tilt in MLB, Morton could be the key cog in Pittsburgh’s quest for a championship. He’s that good and it’s no fluke.



Our Pick
PITTSBURGH -1½ +129 (Risking 2 units - To Win: 2.58)




http://sportswagers.ca/graphics/icons/logo_5.pngSan Diego @ ATLANTA
San Diego +131 over ATLANTA


The Braves magic number is down to just six games, meaning they are virtually a lock make the playoffs but they are certainly overpriced in the first game of this series. Atlanta is on cruise control right now. They are like an NFL team playing the prevent defense. To give some of its starters some rest, the Braves are turning to a rookie pitcher, making his first MLB start (see our MLB call-ups). In 20 starts with Triple-A Gwinnett, David Hale went 6-9 with a 3.22 ERA, however, he allowed 123 hits in 114 innings for a BA against of .279. A two-way player at Princeton who saw more time in center field than on the mound, Hale continues to play catch-up in his development as a pitcher. He has a quick arm with a fluid delivery that produces a heavy 92 mph fastball. His slider can be a solid offering at times, while his feel for his changeup comes and goes. Hale needs to do a better job of getting ahead in the count and of working off his fastball. His strikeout to walk ratio 36/77 BB/K at the minor league level was pedestrian at best. As a -140 favorite, this rookie brings far too much risk. Ian Kennedy has enjoyed a renaissance of sorts since being traded from the D-Backs back in early August. Of his seven starts since for the Padres, five of them have been of the pure quality variety. The Padres have won three of Kennedy’s last four starts and over that span, he’s been taken deep just one time. It may surprise you to learn that no team other than the Astros have struck out more than the Braves and that should bode very well here for Kennedy. Over his last 27 frames, Kennedy has whiffed 32 batters. He also brings an outstanding xERA of 2.72 since joining the Padres to this contest. Ian Kennedy was not a good fit in Arizona but he’s been a great fir for the Padres and offers up plenty of value here taking back a tag like the one offered here against a rookie pitcher that was rated as the Braves 16th best prospect heading into 2013.



Our Pick
San Diego +131 (Risking 2 units - To Win: 2.62)




http://sportswagers.ca/graphics/icons/logo_5.pngSan Diego @ PHILADELPHIA
San Diego -102 over PHILADELPHIA


The Phillies had big motivation on their side when they recently swept the Braves prior to this series but that motivation level is not nearly as high against this “also ran” guest. These two split the first two games of the series with Padres taking the opener 8-2 before losing to Cliff Lee last night, 4-2. Roy Halladay missed his last start due to flu-like symptoms. A shoulder strain nagged him most of last season, resulting in his first sub-200 IP year since '05. That shoulder carried 240 IP per season from 2008 to 2011. Halladay has spent most of this season on the DL. Before going on the disabled list, Halladay's biggest problem was his control and since returning, it has gotten worse. In three starts covering 17 innings, Halladay has walked nine batters while striking out eight. That’s not the only concern. Halladay’s groundball rate is at a career low 34%. His line-drive rate is at a career high of 27%. Age, health and the toll of all those great innings has made Roy Halladay a huge risk and the only thing that has him favored here is his name and pedigree. It has been nine straight pure quality starts for Tyson Ross since rejoining the rotation on July 23. He takes on a Phillies team who is playing out the season with a somewhat makeshift lineup. Ross is a must play, spotting less than a nickel or even a dime against Halladay and the Phillies. Ross’s skills have outperformed his results more than any starting pitcher in the game. His 3-7 record does not do justice to his 3.36 xERA, (2.79 actual ERA) 54% groundball rate, 8.4 K’s per nine and solid control. Put Tyson Ross on your radar as one of the most undervalued pitchers in the majors. Ross has nasty stuff, he has game and his chances of winning here are far greater than Halliday’s chances.

Take: Washington Nationals -1½-113




*3 Star MLB Major MISMATCH* Kyle Kendrick started the season pretty well for the Phillies, but it has been all downhill of late for Kendrick. He has a 4.51 ERA for the year, and in his career he has pitched poorly against Washington. Stephen Strasburg hasn't gotten much run support this year, but he has a superb 1.55 ERA at home. The Nationals offense has suddenly woke up over the past couple weeks. This team is clearly playing its best baseball of the year right now. The Phillies are without Domonic Brown and their lineup is a big question mark right now. This is a mismatch every way you look at it. Take Washington -1.5.

*4 Star MLB Play of Day* The Texas Rangers come into this series with Oakland playing some bad baseball. Texas is a very good team, but they have been streaky this year. Texas realizes they have to turn it around right now. The Rangers are now 4 games out of first place in the AL West, and they don't want any part of the Wildcard. Derek Holland has been great against Oakland in his career. He has 2.83 ERA against the A's. Holland has been one of the most underrated pitchers in baseball the past two years. The A's are coming off an easy series in Minnesota, but things get much tougher here. The Rangers are 6-1 in Holland's last 7 starts against the Athletics. Oakland is 1-4 in Straily's last 5 as an underdog. Texas needs this game badly. I expect them to get it. Take the Rangers.

*3 Star MLB 100% Angle Total* The Cincinnati Reds really need some wins to keep pace with the Cardinals and Pirates in the NL Central. Mat Latos will be on the hill for the Reds in this one, and he has been their most consistent pitcher this year. Latos is 14-5 with a 3.02 ERA. In his career at Miller Park in Milwaukee he has a 3.20 ERA. Kyle Lohse has been on a bad team all year, but he has pitched very well. Lohse has 3.59 ERA overall this year, and his home ERA is 3.03. He has an ERA of just 1.8 in his last two years against the Reds.

The under is 7-0 in Latos' last 7 starts following a quality start in his last outing. The under is 5-0 in his last 5 as a road favorite. The under is 6-0 in Milwaukee's last 6 against a righty. The under is 4-0 in the Brewers last 4 overall. In all, a 22-0 angle backs this play. Take the under

3 Unit Play. #959 Take Under 7 ½ -105 - Cincinnati at Milwaukee (8:10p.m., Friday September 13)
Mat Latos pitched well against the Dodgers and beat Zach Greinke in his last outing and I see Latos pitching well tonight on the road. Kyle Lohse takes the mound tonight for the Brewers and he has been hot/cold all season long but tonight I see him pitching well against his old team and keeping the ball inside the ballpark. Both pitchers should keep the ball down tonight and I see this game going under in Milwaukee. The Red are 0-4-1 O/U in their last 5 road games and the Brewers are 0-4-1 O/U in their last 5 games against division opponents. When these two teams play the under is usually a good bet and their last 29 games the under has hit 20 times. Tonight will be no difference!

3-Unit Play Take #980 St. Louis -1.5, +115 over Seattle (8:15 p.m., Friday, September 13)
St. Louis is tied with the Pittsburgh Pirates for 1st place in the NL Central and they know how important every game is for the rest of the year. It has to make them feel good that Adam Wainwright is the starting pitcher in the opening game of this three game set with the Mariners. Wainwright is looking to build off a solid performance against the Pirates where he didn't allow any runs on 2 hits over 7 innings in a 5-0 victory. He has faced Seattle just once and that was back in June of 2010 and he won the opening game of that series 9-3. Seattle was just swept by the Astros as home and have lost their last four games hitting .157 and being outscored 29-8 over those four games. Hisashi Iwakuma will take the ball for the M's and he has a respectable 2.89 ERA in his last three starts but he is winless over those starts mostly due to lack of run support. The Mariners are 0-7 in their last 7 games when they score 2 runs or fewer in their previous game and the Cardinals who have won 13 of their last 17 at home and are 6-1 in Wainwright's last 7 starts when they allow 5 runs or more in their previous game.

2-Unit Play Take #962 Arizona (-145) over Colorado (9:40 p.m., Friday, September 13)
Arizona has lost five of their last seven games at home but I like them to play with some confidence after beating the Dodgers and get the win tonight. Brandon McCarthy has won two of his last three starts with a 1.88 ERA walking just one batter. He beat San Francisco on Saturday when he allowed one run on six hits in 8 innings. The Diamondbacks have beaten the Rockies five straight times in Arizona outscoring them 29-6. The Rockies will have Tyler Chatwood going on the mound tonight and took a no decision while giving up one run in 6 innings of a 2-1 loss to the Padres on Saturday. The Diamondbacks are 6-1 in their last 7 home games following a road trip of 7 days or more and the Rockies are 1-5 in their last 6 games against a right handed starter. I think Arizona gets a win tonight to keep their slim playoff chances alive.

3-unit Play Take #971 New York Yankees (+130) over Boston Red Sox (7:10pm EST) Every game matters from here on out for the New York Yankees. They are right in the middle of the wild card race in the American League with just two weeks left in the regular season. Their rival the Boston Red Sox have already sewn things up in the division with a huge lead. They also have a nice cushion for home field advantage, so they might not be as focused for this series as they usually are. John Lackey goes for Boston today and he was smacked around by the Yankees pretty good in his last start. He surrendered seven earned runs in just 5 2/3 innings, but lucked out and was able to pick up a win. Hiroki Kuroda, meanwhile, pitched great in his last outing against the Red Sox and has a great track record against them in his career. The Yankees have been a completely different team since getting back Curtis Granderson, Alex Rodriguez and trading for Alfonso Soriano. They now have a somewhat dangerous lineup and aren't completely reliant on the pitching staff to dominate. They have the edge in the bullpen as well, with Robertson and Rivera working the late innings. This game should be tight with two quality starting pitchers, so the bullpens could decide it. I like the Yankees at this underdog price.

4-unit Play Take #977 Tampa Bay Rays (-155) over Minnesota Twins (8:10pm EST) The Tampa Bay Rays have a slim lead in the wild card race at the moment, so they really need to take advantage of the fact that they get the Minnesota Twins this weekend. The Twins are looking ahead for next season and are trying to improve their rebuilding efforts. They recently traded away Justin Morneau, which was a tough decision but one that had to be made. They've also been tinkering with the lineup to get some playing time to the younger guys to see what they can do. Joe Mauer is also out with a concussion, which makes an already weak lineup even uglier. That should make life for Chris Archer much easier as he looks to continue his great rookie campaign. The 24-year old right-hander is 8-7 with a 3.19 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 19 starts this season. He's got great stuff and you can see his confidence growing in each start as he learns how to attack major league hitters. The Twins will counter with righty Kevin Correia today. He's put up his typical mediocre numbers this season, coming in at 9-11 with a 4.30 ERA and 1.41 WHIP. He pitches to contact, which suits the Tampa Bay lineup well. This is another great situation where one team cares more about this individual game than the other. The Rays need this and we'll see manager Joe Maddon doing everything in his power to get the victory.

3 Unit Play Take #962 Arizona -147 over Colorado (9:40pm est):
Going to back Arizona Diamondbacks starter Brandon McCarthy again here as he has pitched very well since noticing some flaws while watching video of his past outings. McCarthy is a student of the game and claimed a few starts back that he noticed something with his delivery. Almost since that time he has pitched very well with an ERA of just 1.88 and an even more impressive 13 strikeouts to only 1 walk in his last three starts. Like most of the teams in the NL West division, Arizona has been a very solid team at home this season with a 40-31 record overall.

Colorado comes in with injury concerns to most of their top hitters here in this contest and that is one of the main reasons this is a team that has dropped five of their last six games overall. The Rockies embark on their third straight road series and they have been just awful away from home going only 15-37 in their last 52 road games. Add in the fact they are also just 17-37 as an underdog the last 54 times and you have what is a bad combination here for Colorado in this one. Today's starter is Tyler Chatwood and he's also not been good on the road or as an underdog of late, having lost five of his last six times in those type of spots.

The Diamondbacks have won six of their last eight games versus Colorado and hold every edge in this game here tonight. Take Arizona in this one.

AMERICAN LEAGUE CHASE CRUSHER!
Our Selection: Rays Opponent: Twins Line: -164
At 8:10 pm, our selection is on the Tampa Bay Rays over the Minnesota Twins.
If Tampa Bay Rays righthanded starter Chris Archer is going to get back on track, tonight would be a great time to start with his team right in the thick of a chase for a wild card spot in the American League. Archer has struggled in his two September outings - both against AL West opponents - and the Rays are hoping he will get back to the form that made him one of the top rookie starters in the American League through the end of July. He'll probably be happy to see the Twins again as he threw six shutout innings against the team back on July 9th, and now gets to pitch against them without the services of Justin Morneau in the Minnesota lineup as the first-baseman was traded to the Pirates a couple of weeks ago. Veteran righthander Kevin Correia has lost 11 games for the fourth time in the last five seasons and he's also in danger of having his first losing season since 2008 as Correia comes into this - his 29th start - at 9-11 and Correia has only won two starts since July 20th as he is 2-5 in his last nine starts. The Rays have dominated this series lately, taking the last nine meetings and 20 of the last 26. Take Tampa.

NATIONAL LEAGUE BLOWOUT WINNER!
Selection: Diamondbacks Opponent: Rockies Line: -153
At 9:40 pm, our selection is on the Arizona Diamondbacks over the Colorado Rockies. Has Brandon McCarthy finally turned the corner? The Diamondbacks are certainly hoping so. The now-30-year-old righthander went down for the 2012 season after being hit on the head by a line drive last September and suffering a skull fracture with the A's. Then after being signed by the D-Backs in the off-season, McCarthy got off to a slow start and then went on the DL with a shoulder strain at the beginning of June. Arizona isn't going to be in the post-season and since they signed McCarthy to a two-year deal, they are hopeful that his recent resurgence will carry over to next season when perhaps the D-Backs will be more competitive. To that end, they have to like what they've seen from McCarthy in his last three starts as McCarthy has had two gems - one lasting seven innings and the other eight - and then in the other start, despite giving up four runs, McCarthy pitched a very nice complete game in a loss to the Jays. In those last three, McCarthy has struck out 13 and walked only one, so clearly he is finally giving the D-Backs what they were hoping for when they signed him. This will be his first start against the Rockies since the end of April when he was still struggling with his command. Arizona has won eight of the last 10 meetings. Take the D-Backs.

OC Dooley:“2 UNIT” INJURY INTANGIBLE UNDERDOG (Mariners +170 at Cardinals in an 8:15 eastern start------Iwakuma versus Wainwright): Last night St. Louis suffered a home loss in part because for a second consecutive evening they were without arguably the best hitter in their lineup Yadier Molina who along with the club’s hitting coach Bengie Molina were away from the team to tend to their mother who underwent a major surgical procedure. Even though the Molina’s are back with the club this evening there is late word that the Cardinals will be WITHOUT a critical member of their bullpen who is closing in on 100 STRIKEOUTS for the season. Overpowering set-up man Trevor Rosenthal’s wife just last night went into labor which leaves the St. Louis bullpen in dire straights especially since closer Edward Mujica has only ONE save in the past month. I am aware that St. Louis has their rotation ace on the mound who is coming off a seven-inning shutout gem, but the ERA for Adam Wainwright in the prior pair of assignments was way up at the NINE mark. For those who follow the Mariners they reached an all-time low this week getting swept in a home series against an opponent (Astros) with the worst record in baseball. Seattle staff ace Felix Hernandez has not pitched in well over a week due to injury which leaves Hisashi Iwakuma as their most consistent starting pitcher. Speaking of elite pitching in the past FIFTEEN YEARS in games played on the ROAD when facing an elite National League starting pitcher (WHIP 1.150 or better) Seattle has gone an excellent “15-5”
