St. Louis Cardinals vs. Chicago Cubs Preview and Predictions 09-28-2018 in MLB

Cardinals vs. Cubs Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 09/28/2018

One of the most heated rivalries in baseball will have a little extra fuel this weekend. The Chicago Cubs host the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday afternoon for the opener of a season-ending three-game series, with both teams fighting to determine their postseason fate.

The Cubs have clinched a playoff berth, but they're locked in a tight race with Milwaukee for the National League Central title - and the NL's top seed. Chicago increased its lead over the Brewers to one game with a 3-0 win over Pittsburgh on Thursday. The Cardinals' playoff hopes took a big hit earlier this week as they were on the wrong side of a three-game sweep in their showdown with Milwaukee, dropping them one game behind the Los Angeles Dodgers for the second wild-card spot. Adam Wainwright could be making his final start for the Cardinals in the series opener.

TV: 2:20 p.m. ET, ESPN, FS Midwest (St. Louis), ABC 7 (Chicago)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Cardinals RH Adam Wainwright (2-3, 4.08 ERA) vs. Cubs RH Kyle Hendricks (13-11, 3.49)

Wainwright has made three starts since returning from the disabled list, and the Cardinals have won all three. The 37-year-old struck out six while allowing four runs over 6 1/3 innings in a no-decision against San Francisco in his last outing. Wainwright is 15-9 with a 3.94 ERA in 44 career games (35 starts) versus the Cubs, including an 11-2 record at Wrigley Field.

Hendricks has allowed fewer than three earned runs in seven straight starts, posting a 1.55 ERA over that stretch. The 28-year-old has given up just one run in each of his last two outings after limiting the crosstown White Sox to four hits over 7 2/3 innings in a win on Sunday. Hendricks is 4-2 with a 3.49 ERA in 13 career starts against St. Louis.

WALK-OFFS

1. Chicago 3B-OF Kris Bryant (wrist) missed his second consecutive game Thursday and is day-to-day.

2. Cardinals 1B Matt Carpenter is hitting .105 with two extra-base hits and 16 strikeouts over his last 11 contests.

3. Cubs 2B Daniel Murphy, who has gone 11-for-32 during his seven-game hitting streak, is 8-for-20 with three extra-base hits against Wainwright.

PREDICTION: Cubs 4, Cardinals 2

Pirates vs. Reds Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 09/27/2018

The Pittsburgh Pirates will try to clinch a winning campaign for the first time since 2015 when they begin a season-ending three-game series at the Cincinnati Reds on Friday. The Pirates managed just three hits in a 3-0 loss at Wrigley Field in Chicago on Thursday, their second straight setback following an 8-2 surge.

Pittsburgh (80-78) did manage five walks against the Cubs but they were 0-for-10 with runners in scoring position while falling to 41-32 against National League Central opponents. The Reds have scored just five runs during a five-game losing streak, including a 6-1 loss to the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday. After shutting down Luis Castillo due to an innings restriction, Cincinnati bumped Anthony DeSclafani into Friday's start. Rookie Nick Kingham goes for the Pirates, who swept a three-game set at Cincinnati in July.

TV: 6:40 p.m. ET, AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh, FS Ohio (Cincinnati)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Pirates RH Nick Kingham (5-7, 5.23 ERA) vs. Reds RH Anthony DeSclafani (7-7, 4.91)

Kingham is coming off a disastrous start in a loss against Milwaukee on Sunday, giving up six runs (five earned) over 1 1/3 innings. He is 0-3 with a 12.19 ERA over his last four starts. The 26-year-old's last win came at Cincinnati on July 21, when he let up two runs and four hits across 6 1/3 innings.

DeSclafani tied a career high with 10 strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings but took the loss at Miami his last time out. The outing left the New Jersey native with an 0-3 record and an ERA of 7.04 in five September starts. Corey Dickerson is 3-for-7 with two home runs against DeSclafani.

WALK-OFFS

1. Pirates CF Starling Marte has 12 RBIs in 13 games against the Reds this year.

2. Reds 2B Scooter Gennett is 3-for-20 over his last five games to drop his average to .313, eight points behind NL leader Christian Yelich.

3. Pittsburgh has won each of the last six meetings by a combined margin of 42-11.

PREDICTION: Pirates 5, Reds 3

Astros vs. Orioles Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 09/27/2018

The Houston Astros will have plenty of opportunities to tune up for the playoffs over the final three days of the regular season. After a rainout in Baltimore on Thursday, the Astros and host Orioles will squeeze their four-game series into a three-day span, beginning with Friday's series opener and a doubleheader Saturday.

Houston, which has clinched the second seed in the American League playoffs, will try to take advantage of otherwise meaningless games to get primed for an ALDS matchup with Cleveland beginning next Friday. "I have stressed to them not to get sloppy," Astros manager A.J. Hinch told reporters. "You don't want to play like it's spring training, then have to go back into playoff mode. I don't want them to get into bad habits. We have to play the games and you have to keep your edge. You can't not compete." Gerrit Cole will start Friday for Houston as he needs 5 2/3 innings to reach 200 for the second straight time. The Orioles, who already played a doubleheader Wednesday at Fenway Park, give the ball to David Hess.

TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, AT&T SportsNet Southwest (Houston), MASN (Baltimore)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Astros RH Gerrit Cole (15-5, 2.92 ERA) vs. Orioles RH David Hess (3-10, 5.14)

Cole ranks fifth in the AL in ERA and second behind teammate Justin Verlander with 272 strikeouts. He fanned 12 while allowing three runs over seven innings to defeat the Los Angeles Angels last Friday. The Orioles are one of three teams (also Pittsburgh, Minnesota) that Cole has never faced.

Hess is 0-2 with a 5.40 ERA in four September starts but allowed just two runs and four hits over five innings at Yankee Stadium on Saturday. He gave up a total of five home runs over his last two contests after getting through three straight starts without serving up a homer. The Tennessee native will be facing the Astros for the first time.

WALK-OFFS

1. Houston (100-58) needs three wins in the final series to set a franchise record for victories in a season.

2. Orioles LF Trey Mancini is 9-for-26 with four extra-base hits during a six-game hitting streak.

3. The Astros have won 11 of the last 12 meetings.

PREDICTION: Astros 6, Orioles 3

Miami Marlins vs. New York Mets Preview and Predictions 09-28-2018 in MLB

MLB Previews 28th September 2018 by Gracenote
Marlins vs. Mets Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 09/28/2018

Despite going hitless in his last game, Michael Conforto has enjoyed one of the finest Septembers in the history of the New York Mets. The 2017 All-Star hopes to take another few steps toward a team record Friday when the Mets host the Miami Marlins in the opener of a three-game set between National League East rivals.

Conforto finished 0-for-2 with a pair of walks as New York rolled to a 4-1 win Thursday in the rubber match of its three-game series with division champion Atlanta to improve to 16-9 in September. That success is due in no small part to the offensive contributions of the 25-year-old Seattle native, who has 29 RBIs this month - five shy of club mark for September set by Hall of Famer Gary Carter in 1984. The Marlins (62-96) are wrapping up their ninth consecutive losing season and have dropped eight of their last nine road contests. The first three of those setbacks came when they were outscored 22-5 in New York just over two weeks ago and the last three came earlier this week when they were swept in Washington, giving up at least seven runs in each contest.

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, FS Florida (Miami), SNY (New York)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Marlins RH Jose Urena (8-12, 4.07 ERA) vs. Mets RH Corey Oswalt (3-3, 6.08)

Urena is unbeaten in his last seven starts and won each of his four in September in dominant fashion, lowering his ERA for the month to 1.13 on Saturday when he blanked Cincinnati over 5 2/3 innings. One of those recent outings was a road victory versus the Mets on Sept. 11, holding them to one run over 6 1/3 frames. Urena, who will reach nine wins for a second straight season with a victory Friday despite beginning the year 3-12, is 1-2 with a 4.32 ERA in three starts against the Mets this season.

Oswalt took his first loss since July 9 in Washington on Saturday, giving up two runs on four hits over five innings. The 25-year-old San Diego native has proven to be much more comfortable as a starter 16 games into his big-league career, going 2-3 with a 4.91 ERA in 11 turns versus 1-0, 12.54 in five relief appearances. J.T. Realmuto and Starlin Castro each have two hits in five career at-bats versus Oswalt, who has been tagged for nine runs in 8 2/3 frames while going 0-1 against Miami in 2018.

WALK-OFFS

1. Mets OF Brandon Nimmo is only 1-for-13 over his last six games, but he has drawn 10 walks over that span - including nine in the last four contests.

2. Miami OF Brian Anderson has 159 hits this season, the most by a Marlin rookie since Chris Coghlan in 2009 (162)

3. New York starting pitchers are 10-4 with a major league-best 2.68 ERA this month.

PREDICTION: Marlins 4, Mets 2

New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox Preview and Predictions 09-28-2018 in MLB

Yankees vs. Red Sox Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 09/27/2018

The New York Yankees watched the Boston Red Sox wrap up the American League East in the Bronx just over a week ago and they hope to have their own celebration at Fenway Park this weekend. The Yankees have a magic number of one for clinching the top wild card and can nail it down with a victory in Friday night's opener of a three-game series versus the Red Sox.

New York needs one win or a loss by Oakland to secure home field for Wednesday's one-game playoff against the Athletics, a task made easier by the fact that Boston has nothing to play for. "We know what's at stake, and we took a good step toward it," said Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton after he homered twice in Thursday's 12-1 drubbing at Tampa Bay to move his team closer to the potential clincher. Left-hander J.A. Happ, who is 6-0 in 10 starts since he was acquired from Toronto, will get the nod against Boston in the series opener and is on track to start the wild-card game. Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez, who is 21-for-63 with 17 RBIs in 16 games against New York this season, enters the series batting .330 overall with 42 homers and 127 RBIs.

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, ESPN, WPIX (New York), NESN (Boston)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Yankees LH J.A. Happ (16-6, 3.57 ERA) vs. Red Sox LH Brian Johnson (4-4, 4.11)

Happ did not factor in the decision last time out, holding Baltimore to one run and five hits over five innings -- the eighth time in 10 starts since joining the Yankees that he allowed two runs or fewer. He also had a no-decision in his previous turn against the Red Sox, permitting only an unearned run on four hits over six innings. Steve Pearce has been a nemesis for Happ, going 10-for-29 with five homers.

Johnson has pitched primarily out of the bullpen in 2018 but the last of his 12 starts was an ugly one -- he lasted only 1 1/3 innings and was rocked for four runs and seven hits in 1 1/3 innings at the Chicago White Sox on Sept. 2. He beat the Yankees on Aug. 2 but had mixed results, striking out 11 while allowing five runs in five innings. Johnson also made three scoreless relief appearances versus New York this year.

WALK-OFFS

1. Yankees SS Didi Gregorius (wrist) was cleared for baseball activities and could play this weekend.

2. Martinez needs one homer to surpass Dick Stuart (1963) for the most in a player's first season with Boston.

3. The Yankees need four homers to match the major-league record of 264 set by Seattle in 1997.

PREDICTION: Yankees 6, Red Sox 3

Blue Jays vs. Rays Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 09/27/2018

Having been officially eliminated from postseason contention to start the week, the Tampa Bay Rays still have a pair of goals remaining entering the final series of the season Friday night against the visiting Toronto Blue Jays. The Rays are two wins shy of reaching 90 for the season and need one more victory to post 50 wins at Tropicana Field.

Tampa Bay has dropped three of four following Thursday's 12-1 mauling by the New York Yankees, but they stayed in contention in a top-heavy American League East until the final week of the season. Tommy Pham had his 10-game hitting streak snapped Thursday but he has reached safely in 29 consecutive games, the longest active string in the AL. Toronto halted a three-game slide with a 3-1 win over Houston on Wednesday to give outgoing manager John Gibbons a victory in his final home game with the franchise. Randal Grichuk, who has hit safely in five of the last six games, belted a two-run homer in the victory to establish a career high with 25.

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, SNET, TVA Sports (Toronto), FS Sun Tampa Bay

PITCHING MATCHUP: Blue Jays LH Thomas Pannone (4-1, 3.58 ERA) vs. Rays RH Tyler Glasnow (2-7, 4.23)

Pannone is winding up his abbreviated rookie season on a high note, winning his third consecutive start after holding Tampa Bay to two runs -- both on solo homers -- and six hits over six innings. The long ball has been among the few concerns for the 24-year-old, who has allowed six runs and 14 hits over 20 innings, including five homers, during the winning streak. Pham and Jesus Sucre each homered off Pannone.

Although Glasnow lost for the fourth time in his last five outings, he posted his fourth quality start in that span by giving up three runs over six innings at Toronto on Saturday. He was superb in his previous turn, blanking Texas on two hits over six innings, and gave up two runs over seven innings in a loss to Cleveland on Sept. 11. Glasnow was rocked for seven runs in two-thirds of an inning at Toronto on Sept. 5.

WALK-OFFS

1. Rays DH C.J. Cron went deep Thursday and is one shy of becoming the ninth player in franchise history to reach 30.

2. Blue Jays 1B Justin Smoak is 2-for-21 over the past eight games.

3. Rays 3B Matt Duffy (right quadriceps) missed Thursday's game and will be re-evaluated Friday.

PREDICTION: Rays 4, Blue Jays 3

Nationals vs. Rockies Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 09/27/2018

The red-hot Colorado Rockies embark on what could be a historic weekend at Coors Field in Denver when they begin a three-game series with the Washington Nationals on Friday. Colorado (89-70), which has won seven straight after Thursday's 5-3 victory over Philadelphia, has never won the National League West but controls its own fate with a one-game lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Rockies could also clinch a playoff berth with a victory Friday coupled with a St. Louis loss to the Cubs in Chicago. Colorado outscored the Phillies 39-7 in this week's four-game sweep with David Dahl homering in each game and totaling 11 RBIs in the series while Trevor Story (team-best 35 home runs), who shares the team lead in RBIs with Nolan Arenado (105), went deep in each of the last two contests. The Rockies' Kyle Freeland, a Denver native, is 9-2 with an eye-popping 2.36 ERA in 14 starts at Coors Field this season and opposes Joe Ross, who makes his third and final appearance in a season that began late because of Tommy John surgery. "The consistency in performance has been as good as anybody in the game, especially when you consider around half his starts have come at altitude," Rockies manager Bud Black told the Denver Post about Freeland, who hasn't lost since Aug. 1. "He's living on the black."

TV: 8:10 p.m. ET, MASN 2 (Washington), AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain (Colorado)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Nationals RH Joe Ross (0-1, 4.09 ERA) vs. Rockies LH Kyle Freeland (16-7, 2.84)

Ross allowed four runs (three earned), eight hits and one walk while striking out three over six innings of a 4-2 loss to the New York Mets on Sept. 21. The 25-year-old Californian made his first start since July 9, 2017 when he received a no-decision after yielding two runs and four hits over five innings of Washington's 4-3 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Sept. 13. Ross has made one start against Colorado on April 25, 2017 at Coors Field, receiving a no-decision after permitting five runs across 4 2/3 innings of the Nationals' 15-12 victory.

Freeland allowed seven hits and a walk while striking out six over seven innings of a 2-0 victory at Arizona on Sunday, improving to 7-0 with a 2.10 ERA in his last 10 starts - all of the quality variety. The 25-year-old and eighth overall pick of the 2014 draft is 15-3 after going 1-4 with a 4.24 ERA in six April outings. Ryan Zimmerman is 3-for-5 with a three-run homer versus Freeland, who is 1-0 with a 3.72 ERA in two starts versus Washington after allowing one run over 4 2/3 innings and earning a no-decision in April.

WALK-OFFS

1. Rockies RHP Wade Davis set a club record with his NL-leading 42nd save Thursday and hasn't blown one since Aug. 3.

2. Nationals RF Bryce Harper (.244, 34 home runs, 100 RBIs this season), who may have played his last home game in a Washington uniform Wednesday, is batting .377 with three home runs and 11 RBIs in 61 at-bats with 14 walks and 18 runs scored at Coors Field.

3. Jorge De La Rosa, a LHP now with the Cubs, holds the Rockies record for lowest ERA in a season at Coors Field - 2.76 in 2013.

PREDICTION: Rockies 11, Nationals 2

Athletics vs. Angels Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 09/27/2018

The Oakland Athletics have already secured an American League wild-card berth, so they'll switch their sights to wresting away homefield advantage from the New York Yankees when they begin a regular season-ending three-game road series against the Los Angeles Angels on Friday. Oakland faces an uphill climb to avoid playing at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday, though, as New York's magic number to clinch the top wild-card spot is one with a trip to Boston looming this weekend.

"Everything now is just a day-at-a-time mentality,'' Athletics right-hander Edwin Jackson told reporters. "Can't really look too far ahead. We'll find out what's next in due time, and I'll just sit back and enjoy (making the playoffs) and watch us continue to go out and battle and see how many games we can win in this last little stretch." Oakland continues to ride the bat of Khris Davis, who belted his major league-leading 47th home run Wednesday and has 192 career homers in his first six seasons - 132 in the last three years. Los Angeles (78-81) is coming off a three-game sweep of Texas and needs to win its last three games to avoid its first three-year stretch of losing seasons since 1992-94. Mike Fiers is 5-1 with a 2.90 ERA in nine starts since joining Oakland and opposes Jaime Barria, who has enjoyed a solid rookie season.

TV: 10:07 p.m. ET, NBCS California (Oakland), FS West (Los Angeles)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Athletics RH Mike Fiers (12-7, 3.31 ERA) vs. Angels RH Jaime Barria (10-9, 3.54)

Fiers received a no-decision after allowing one run, four hits and one walk while striking out five in six innings of Oakland's 3-2 victory over Minnesota on Saturday. The Athletics are 8-1 in starts made by 33-year-old Florida native, who was 7-6 with a 3.48 ERA while with Detroit before joining Oakland in August. Mike Trout is 6-for-17 with a home run, four doubles, five RBIs, four walks and six strikeouts versus Fiers, who is 3-3 with a 5.16 ERA in nine starts versus Los Angeles after a no-decision this season when he yielded one run over 5 2/3 innings May 30.

Barria received a no-decision after allowing one run, four hits and three walks while striking out three over five innings of Los Angeles' 10-5 loss at Houston on Saturday. The 22-year-old Panamanian has a 1.27 WHIP with 117 hits allowed and 94 strikeouts against 41 walks across 124 2/3 innings this season. Barria, who makes his first career start versus Oakland, had a 3.55 ERA in 13 outings prior to the All-Star Game and 3.53 in 12 games after the break.

WALK-OFFS

1. Trout (.313, 38 home runs, 77 RBIs) needs one run scored to become the seventh player in history with six 100-run seasons in his first seven years (Alex Rodriguez, seven; Hank Aaron, Bill Dahlen, Mickey Mantle, Mel Ott and Albert Pujols, six apiece).

2. Oakland, which is third in the major leagues with 223 home runs, leads baseball with 132 on the road.

3. The teams have split 16 meetings this year as the Athletics try to win their first season series over Los Angeles since 2013.

Diamondbacks vs. Padres Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 09/27/2018

The Arizona Diamondbacks bid to secure a winning record this season Friday when they host the San Diego Padres (64-95) in the opener of a three-game series at Chase Field. That's likely little consolation for the Diamondbacks (81-78), who began September in first place in the National League West before a series of four-game losing skids dropped them out of postseason contention.

"You always want to finish up strong. It's been a really tough month for us, to say the least, but our last home game here we came out and played some really good baseball," said A.J. Pollock, who belted a three-run homer in Arizona's 7-2 triumph over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday. The 30-year-old Pollock has gone deep three times during his five-game hitting streak and is 18-for-52 with three homers, 11 RBIs and nine runs scored in the season series versus San Diego. The cellar-dwelling Padres might not have much riding on the final three contests of the campaign, however Freddy Galvis doesn't see it that way as he closes in on playing in all 162 games for the second straight year. "I feel like when I'm on the field I can help the team to win some games," Galvis told reporters. "I can do it with the bat, I can do it with the glove, I can do it with my mind. Playing 162 is really important to me."


TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, FS Arizona, FS San Diego

PITCHING MATCHUP: Diamondbacks LH Patrick Corbin (11-7, 3.23 ERA) vs. Padres LH Eric Lauer (6-7, 4.60)

Corbin dropped his second straight start and fell to 1-3 in his last seven outings Saturday after allowing four runs on five hits in three innings of a 5-1 setback versus Colorado. The 29-year-old issued four walks in that contest, matching the sum total of his previous five starts. Corbin owns a 1-0 mark and has struck out 19 in two starts this season against San Diego despite permitting six runs in 12 innings.

Lauer posted his first win since July 10 after yielding one run on four hits in five innings of a 5-3 triumph at the Dodgers last Friday. The 23-year-old has been taken deep in each of his last two outings, but that wasn't the case in his lone encounter with Arizona this season. Lauer, who allowed one run in five frames of a 6-3 win versus the Diamondbacks on July 5, has permitted three runs or fewer in 13 of his last 15 starts.

WALK-OFFS

1. San Diego CF Travis Jankowski, who is 6-for-38 against Arizona this season, homered to highlight his three-hit performance in Wednesday's 3-2 victory over San Francisco.

2. Diamondbacks RF David Peralta, who hit his 30th homer Wednesday, is 9-for-40 against the Padres this season.

3. San Diego's 29 home wins are the fewest in the National League and second-worst in the majors (Baltimore).

Dodgers vs. Giants Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 09/27/2018

The Los Angeles Dodgers have answered a scintillating 10-2 stretch with back-to-back losses to put their postseason plans in jeopardy. The Dodgers (88-71) aim to return to their winning ways Friday when they play the opener of a three-game series versus the reeling San Francisco Giants (73-86), who have lost 18 of their last 23 contests.

Los Angeles dropped two straight to Arizona and trails first-place Colorado by one game in the National League West, but lead St. Louis by one game for the second wild-card spot. Cody Bellinger was mired in a 1-for-12 rut before recording consecutive two-hit performances, highlighted by his RBI single in Wednesday's 7-2 setback to the Diamondbacks. While the Dodgers are entertaining postseason aspirations, the Giants -- manager Bruce Bochy contends -- will look to gain valuable experience while playing the role of spoiler. "I've never liked being in this position," Bochy told reporters. "I like being in the other position, but it's good for the guys. These games are going to mean a lot. It's good experience for the young guys. There's a lot at stake."


TV: 10:15 p.m. ET, MLB Network; Sportsnet Los Angeles, NBCS Bay Area (San Francisco)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Dodgers LH Hyun-Jin Ryu (6-3, 2.00 ERA) vs. Giants LH Madison Bumgarner (6-6, 3.20)

Ryu has scattered four hits in back-to-back scoreless outings, highlighted by his eight-strikeout performance versus San Diego on Sunday. The 31-year-old South Korean has not allowed more than three earned runs in any of his 14 appearances this season and has permitted only two earned runs with 13 strikeouts in 11 2/3 innings in two starts versus San Francisco. Hunter Pence (13-for-31, seven RBIs) and Gorkys Hernandez (3-for-8) have rattled Ryu in his career.

Bumgarner has given the home fans plenty for which to cheer, as the 29-year-old has not yielded a run in his last three starts (20 innings) at AT&T Park. Bumgarner followed up a 3-0 win versus Colorado on Sept. 15 by allowing three runs in six innings of a no-decision at St. Louis six days later. Enrique Hernandez is a robust 16-for-36 with four homers and eight RBIs versus Bumgarner, however the hurler has flustered Yasmani Grandal (1-for-13, seven strikeouts).

WALK-OFFS

1. San Francisco SS Brandon Crawford (6-for-51, 14 strikeouts) and 3B Evan Longoria (9-for-48, 10 strikeouts) have struggled mightily versus Los Angeles this season.

2. Dodgers SS Manny Machado is 7-for-24 with two homers, eight RBIs and three runs scored during his six-game hitting streak.

3. Pence is 8-for-19 with a homer and four runs scored during his five-game hitting streak.

# 1 SWORD FIGHTER 12/1

# 4 FLEET IRISH 8/1

# 5 DEZZER 3/1

SWORD FIGHTER is the top bet in this contest especially at 12/1. Could best this group here, showing formidable figs of late. Win percentage under similar conditions may be the key for this gelding. Has quite good Equibase Class Figures relative to this field - worth a look. FLEET IRISH - Should best this group of animals here, showing formidable numbers of late. Well above average win rate at this distance/surface. DEZZER - He looks very good in this spot and I expect will be on the front end or close at the midpoint. Ran a sharp last race.

#1 DONWELL (ML=3/1)
#3 COME ON DOVER (ML=7/2)
#7 DROP KICK (ML=5/2)


DONWELL - I predict a perfect trip. Stalk the early speed, and make a bold move on the turn. Have to make this gelding a win candidate; he comes off a solid race on September 3rd. COME ON DOVER - Lower weight carried of -5. In my opinion, a movement of 5 is important, so this gelding falls into this category. DROP KICK - After a pair of sprints, he's routing today, which is probably what this colt wants to do. Took a big class drop last out, and I think he may have needed it. Tomlinson enters him at a similar level today. I'd expect an improved performance.

Vulnerable Contenders: #9 HONOR MISSION (ML=4/1), #5 AWESOME FU (ML=6/1),

HONOR MISSION - Equibase speed figs tell a tale of lessening condition. AWESOME FU - Don't think this mount will do much running in today's race. That last speed fig was mediocre when compared with today's class rating.

Top HatGUEST COMMENTARY: Hal - COME ON DOVER - This magnificent animal should be your wagering choice today. This gelding has posted improving speed figures in his last two races.

# 4 SWEET 16 2/1

# 6 ANNAS BABE FOOSE 4/1

# 3 JESSA LADY CEE 7/2

SWEET 16 looks to be a quite good contender. Reliable average Equibase speed figs in short races make this equine a solid choice. ANNAS BABE FOOSE - Gomez will probably be able to get this filly to break out early for this event. Could best this field based on the Equibase Speed Figure - 84 - of her last contest. JESSA LADY CEE - Gomez has a solid win percentage with horses running in short races. Will probably compete solidly in the early speed battle which bodes well with this group of horses in this race.

#6 WHIRLIN CURLIN (ML=8/1)
#7 DOUBLE SKY (ML=4/1)
#2 LORD OF MISRULE (ML=6/1)
#3 MR. FIXIT (ML=6/1)


WHIRLIN CURLIN - Expect this gelding to be far back early and come closing strongly. Magee has an 'uncoupled' entry here. Best to beware the longer priced half. Faced tougher last time around the track at Timonium. Based on Equibase class figures, this is a weaker group, so I will put this one on my list of probable winners in this race. This gelding should be in top form, this far into his form cycle. DOUBLE SKY - I like to play this angle, a racer coming back off a nice outing within the last month. Likes to go to the lead and the fact that today is a shorter trip should be advantageous. The improved speed figs over the last 3 races is great. Graci drops him in this affair in shape and ready to win. LORD OF MISRULE - Russell was aboard this gelding last race out and was impressed enough to take the horse right back. Shipped in on Jul 22nd to take the top prize here. Take right back again. MR. FIXIT - This gelding likes to be near the lead. Today's event is a shorter trip and should help his chances to win. Lets try to beat the chalk with this gelding. Just missed last out, but ran a pretty good race. 14-65-76 are last 3 Equibase speed figures. Improving each time out is something he should do again in this field.

Vulnerable Contenders: #5 COLONEL ANDY (ML=9/5), #1 DUTCH BLITZ (ML=7/2),

COLONEL ANDY - This chalk horse may be out of shape without any recent drills. You always believe this animal has a shot to be victorious, but he comes up short most of the time. DUTCH BLITZ - When any animal improves so much on a track listed as good, I have to be particularly concerned about him next out.

Friday's Diamond Notes
Kevin Rogers

Hottest team: Rockies (7-0 last seven)

Colorado began August by losing seven of nine games to slip to 60-55 and 3 ½ games behind both Arizona and Los Angeles for the top spot in the NL West. Since that rough stretch, the Rockies have won 29 of 44 contests to move into first place in the division, capped off by a four-game sweep of the Phillies. Colorado outscored Philadelphia, 39-7 in the four victories, while improving to 11-3 in its past 14 games at Coors Field.

The Rockies own a one-game edge over the Dodgers heading into Friday’s action as the disappointing Nationals invade Denver. Kyle Freeland has been Colorado’s hottest pitcher over the last two months as the Rockies have compiled an impressive 14-2 mark in his past 16 starts, while the NL West leaders are 9-0 in his previous nine home outings. The Rockies grabbed three of four from the Nationals in D.C. back in April, including a 2-1 win started by Freeland in the second game of the series.

Coldest team: Phillies (0-8 last eight)

Things change quickly in baseball as the Phillies were 64-49 on August 7 and on top of the NL East race. Heading into the final weekend of the season, Philadelphia not only has nothing to play for, but are going to finish with a losing record. The Phillies had an outside chance of catching the Braves for the top spot in the division last weekend, but were swept in a four-game series, then put up a real clunker in four losses at Colorado.

Philadelphia posted a 14-32 record in the last 46 games, as the only team who put together a worse mark in this stretch is Baltimore, a team that has lost 112 games. The Phillies return to Citizens Bank Park trying to end the season on a positive note, taking on the division champion Braves. Jerad Eickhoff makes his first start of the season for Philadelphia after compiling a 4-8 record and 4.71 ERA in 2017.

Hottest pitcher: Mike Fiers, Athletics (12-7, 3.31 ERA)

Oakland made two of the shrewdest moves this past summer by picking up Fiers and Edwin Jackson to help out its rotation. When those two right-handers start for the A’s, Oakland owns an incredible 22-4 record this season, including an 8-1 mark in Fiers’ nine starts. Unfortunately, only three of those starts came on the highway as Oakland is 2-1 in those road outings, including a loss at Tampa Bay in his most recent away appearance. Fiers faced the Angels in late May as a member of the Tigers as he allowed one earned run in 5.2 innings of a 6-1 victory as a heavy home underdog.

Coldest pitcher: Wade Leblanc, Mariners (8-5, 3.55 ERA)

Leblanc has put together a solid season for a banged-up Seattle pitching rotation. However, Leblanc hasn’t had much luck when pitching at Safeco Field as the Mariners are winless in his past four home starts, including recent losses to last-place squads Baltimore and San Diego. The southpaw takes on another cellar dweller when Texas visits Seattle on Friday as the Rangers tagged Leblanc for eight hits and three runs in five innings of a 6-1 win in Arlington last Sunday.

Biggest OVER run: Nationals (4-0 last four)

Washington needs to win one of its final three games of the season to finish with a winning record, but the Nats will be missing the playoffs for the first time since 2015. The Nationals’ offense has stepped up of late as Bryce Harper’s future is in question with the All-Star outfielder headed to free agency this winter. Washington has plated at least six runs in five straight games, while putting up nine runs in each of the past two games in blowouts of Miami. Joe Ross takes the mound for Washington as the right-hander has seen the UNDER cash in his first two starts.

Biggest UNDER run: Reds (12-0 last 12)

Cincinnati’s offense is closing the season with a dud by scoring three runs or less in 13 of its last 14 games, while dropping five straight games to Miami and Kansas City. The last time the Reds scored more than four runs in a game came back on September 10 against the Dodgers, as Cincinnati’s lineup looks to bust out against Pittsburgh this weekend. The Reds have lost six consecutive matchups with the Pirates, while getting limited to six runs in a three-game sweep at PNC Park earlier this month. Right-hander Anthony DeSclafani is coming off three straight losses, but the Reds have scored a total of two runs in those defeats.

Matchup to watch: Dodgers vs. Giants

Last October, Los Angeles hosted Game 7 of the World Series and ultimately lost to Houston. Now, the Dodgers are one bad weekend away from not even qualifying for the playoffs this time around as L.A. sits one game behind Colorado in the NL West. However, the Dodgers are currently sitting in the final Wild Card spot, one game ahead of the Cardinals as Los Angeles heads north to San Francisco to face the rival Giants.

The Dodgers dropped the final two games of their series at Arizona to fall out of first place, but L.A. has compiled a terrific 11-1 record in its last 12 away series openers. Hyun-Jin Ryu is coming off a pair of scoreless efforts in home wins over the Rockies and Padres, while striking out 13 batters and walking none in 13 innings. The Dodgers are 1-1 in Ryu’s two starts against the Giants this season, as the southpaw tossed six scoreless innings in a 4-3 victory at Chavez Ravine in mid-August.

The Giants have faltered in September by going 5-18, including an 11-game losing streak to start the month. Staff ace Madison Bumgarner has a long history with the Dodgers that includes several benches-clearing incidents, as the Giants cashed with the southpaw starting in a 5-2 win on August 13 as a +180 road underdog. San Francisco has won six of Bumgarner’s previous eight starts at AT&T Park, while not allowing a run in his last three home outings (20 innings).

Betcha didn’t know: The Marlins need three victories to finish OVER their season win total, meaning they need a three-game sweep of the Mets at Citi Field. Since Miami’s Jose Urena beaned Atlanta’s Ronald Acuna, Jr. on August 15 on the first pitch of the game, the Marlins are 5-1 in the right-hander’s last six starts, including three road victories. It’s a great turnaround for Urena, as the Marlins lost his first 12 outings of the season.

Biggest public favorite: Brewers (-210) vs. Tigers

Biggest public underdog: Red Sox (+110) vs. Yankees

CFL Betting Notes - Week 16
David Schwab

It was a wild weekend in the CFL starting with Winnipeg’s 31-14 victory against Montreal on Friday night as a 10-point home favorite. Saturday’s action started with Ottawa pulling off the upset against Edmonton as a three-point underdog at home in a solid 28-15 victory.

Saskatchewan got past Toronto 30-29 later in the day, but the favored Roughriders could not cover the three points on the road. Week 15 closed things out with British Columbia squeezing past Hamilton 35-32 in overtime as a 2 ½-point underdog at home.

Friday, Sept. 28

Toronto Argonauts (3-9 SU, 5-7 ATS) at Calgary Stampeders (10-2 SU, 7-5 ATS)
Point-spread: Calgary -13
Total:: 53

Game Overview

The Argonauts are fading from the playoff picture in the East Division with four straight-up losses in a row. Covering against Saskatchewan on Saturday moved them to 1-3 against the spread during this same span. The total went OVER 51 points in that game and it has now gone OVER in six of Toronto’s last eight games. Defensively, the Argos are allowing an average of 31.3 points per game.

Calgary is coming off a Week 15 bye. The Stampeders failed to clinch a playoff berth while remaining idle with the Roughriders’ win, but they still have a comfortable two and a half game lead in the West Division title race. They have closed as favorites in all 12 games with an even 3-3 record ATS in six previous home games.

Memphis won its last five games with Tulane, winning 24-14/38-7 in last two visits here; Tigers scored 111 points in winning their last two games, but lost 22-21 (-7) at Navy in their only road game this month. Under Norvell, Memphis is 4-3 as road favorites- since ’08, they’re 20-9 when laying double digit points. Tulane is 0-3 vs I-A teams, losing by 6-7-43 points; they lost at home in OT to Wake Forest. Under Fritz, Green Wave is 4-2 as home underdogs- they’re 9-13 in last 22 games when getting 10+ points.

Friday's Tip Sheet
Brian Edwards

**Memphis at Tulane**

-- As of Wednesday afternoon, most betting shops had Memphis (3-1 straight up, 2-2 against the spread) installed as a 14-point favorite with a total of 67. The Green Wave was +420 on the money line (risk $100 to win $420).

-- Mike Norvell’s squad has beaten up on three non-conference foes at the Liberty Bowl, thumping Mercer (66-14), Georgia State (59-22) and South Alabama (52-35). The Tigers are 0-1 in AAC play, however, dropping their league opener 22-21 at Navy in Week 2.

-- Memphis didn’t have it quite as easy against the Jaguars last week, however. After taking a 21-7 lead on Brady White’s 25-yard touchdown pass to John Williams early in the second quarter, USA responded with a pair of TDs to tie the game at halftime. Norvell’s bunch pulled away in the fourth quarter behind star junior RB Darrell Henderson, a first-team All-AAC selection last year who may push for All-American honors this season. Henderson ran for 188 yards and two TDs on 22 attempts. White connected on 22-of-29 throws for 292 yards and two TDs without an interception. RB Patrick Taylor added 75 rushing yards and two scores on 17 carries, in addition to catching three balls for 22 yards. Henderson had two receptions for 34 yards, while Damonte Coxie had eight catches for 113 yards and one TD.

-- Henderson is the nation’s leader in rushing yards (709) by an 81-yard margin. He is in a second-place tie for rushing TDs (eight) and is also second in average yards per carry (12.2 YPC!). Henderson has produced those numbers despite averaging merely 14.5 attempts per game.

-- White, the grand transfer from Arizona State, has been outstanding for his new team. He has completed 72.2 percent of his passes for 1,064 yards with a stellar 12/1 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Coxie has been his favorite target, hauling in 23 receptions for 353 yards and four TDs. John Williams has 15 catches for 146 yards and one TD, while Henderson has six grabs for 124 yards and one TD.

-- The new fair-catch rule on kickoff returns and some shrewd coaching from opponents have really cut into Memphis star Tony Pollard’s ability to impact games through the first four. Pollard had 1,649 all-purpose yards and 10 TDs, including four TDs on KO returns, during the 2017 campaign. He’s been limited to 133 all-purpose yards and two TDs so far this year, only getting once chance to return a kick that went for negative two yards.

-- Memphis is ranked fourth in the country in total offense (593.0 yards per game), fifth in rushing yards (309.5 YPG), and 10th in scoring with its 49.5 points-per-game average. The defense is 24th in the nation in total ‘D’ (317.2 YPG) and 22nd at the defending the pass (166.2 YPG).

-- Tulane (1-3 SU, 2-2 ATS) has split a pair of home games while going 2-0 ATS. Willie Fritz is in his third season at the school. His 10-18 SU record doesn’t appear inspiring on the surface, but it says here that he’s the right man for the job and has this program on the right track. Tulane, which is 16-12 ATS on Fritz’s watch, has already lost a pair of one-possession games this season, and it lost three contests by six combined points in 2017.

-- Tulane opened the season by hooking up its backers like me in a 23-17 overtime loss to Wake Forest as a seven-point home underdog. Since then, the Green Wave has beaten Nicholls State 42-17 as a 17-point home favorite, before losing 31-24 at UAB and 49-6 at Ohio State.

-- Tulane owns a 4-2 spread record in six games as a home underdog during Fritz’s tenure. Meanwhile, Memphis has compiled a 4-3 ATS mark in seven spots as a road ‘chalk’ on Norvell’s watch.

-- Tulane senior QB Jonathan Banks has completed 49.5 percent of his passes for 792 yards with a 5/1 TD-INT ratio. Junior WR Darnell Mooney has 22 receptions for 385 yards and three TDs, while senior Terren Encalade has 15 catches for 310 yards and two TDs.

-- Junior RB Corey Dauphine, a transfer from Texas Tech, has run for 289 yards and three TDs on just 25 carries for a 11.6 YPC average. Darius Bradwell has 236 rushing yards, two rushing scores and a 5.6 YPC average.

-- Tulane’s top two TEs, Charles Jones and Kendall Ardoin, are both listed as ‘questionable’ with undisclosed injuries. Neither player was on the field at The ‘Shoe last week.

-- Tulane’s defense is ranked No. 116 in the nation in total defense (495.5 YPG), No. 120 in pass defense (304.0 YPG), No. 99 versus the run (191.5 YPG) and No. 91 in scoring ‘D’ (30.0 PPG).

-- The ‘over’ is 3-1 overall for the Tigers, but the ‘under’ cashed in their lone previous road assignment. However, we’ll note that the 22-21 loss at Navy was played in a driving rainstorm for the entire game. Memphis’s home games have gone ‘over’ by 14.5, 18 and 21 points apiece (53.5 combined pts.).

-- The ‘under’ is 3-1 overall for Tulane, 1-1 in its home outings. The Green Wave has seen its games average combined scores of 52.2 PPG.

-- Memphis has won 11 games in a row in this rivalry, going 8-2 ATS in the past 10 encounters. Nine of those 10 victories have come by double-digit margins and eight have come by 14 points or more. The ‘under’ is 6-2 in the past eight meetings.

-- As of Wednesday afternoon, the forecast at weather.com was predicting partly cloudy skies for Friday night in the Big Easy. There’s only a 10 percent chance of rain, temperatures are anticipated to be in the mid-70s and winds aren’t expected to rise over four miles per hour. The field could be a little wet, though, as the forecast Friday afternoon calls for scattered thunderstorms and a 50 percent chance of rain.

-- Kickoff is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. Eastern on ESPN.



**UCLA at Colorado**

-- My preseason prediction called for UCLA (0-3 SU, 1-2 ATS) to finish in the cellar of the Pac-12 South. It wasn’t a knock on new head coach Chip Kelly, but simply an assessment of the uphill challenge he faces in turning this program around. It hasn’t been pretty to date. Kelly’s debut was a nightmare, as the Bruins lost a 26-17 decision to Cincinnati as a 14-point home favorite. Next, they got run out of Norman in a 49-21 loss at Oklahoma. Then in Week 3, Fresno State came to the Rose Bowl and dealt out a 38-14 beatdown as a 2.5-point road ‘chalk.’

-- Both teams are off open dates and have had plenty of time to prepare for each other. As of Wednesday afternoon, most books had Colorado (3-0 SU, 2-1 ATS) installed as a 9.5-point home favorite with a total of 60.5. The Bruins were +290 to win outright (risk $100 to win $290).

-- Dorian Thompson-Robinson, the prize of Kelly’s first recruiting class, has been thrown right into the fire and has taken his lumps early in his true freshman season. He has completed 54.7 percent of his passes for 522 yards with a 2/2 TD-INT ratio. Junior WR Theo Howard has emerged as his favorite target by making 11 receptions for 185 yards and one TD. Caleb Wilson has eight catches for 128 yards.

-- Another true freshman leads UCLA in rushing. Kazmeir Allen has a team-best 161 rushing yards and one TD on just 21 attempts for a 7.7 YPC average.

-- UCLA came into this year on a 14-24 ATS slump as a road underdog over the past decade. However, the Bruins did get the money in their lone such spot this year when they lost by 28 at OU as 31-point puppies.

-- Kelly had dynamic offenses during his four-year run at Oregon that produced an incredible 46-7 record. So far at UCLA? Not so much. The Bruins are ranked No. 119 in the nation in total offense (319.7 YPG), No. 102 in passing yards (189.0 YPG), No. 104 in rushing yards (130.7 YPG) and No. 121 in scoring with their abysmal 17.3 PPG average. UCLA’s defense hasn’t fared much better, ranking No. 116 in the country (37.7 PPG).

-- Colorado is undefeated going into its Pac-12 opener. Mike MacIntyre’s club opened the season by beating up on Colorado State by a 45-7 count as a seven-point favorite in Denver. Next, the Buffaloes went to Lincoln and captured a 33-28 win at Nebraska as three-point underdogs. In Week 3, they knocked off FCS foe New Hampshire 45-14 but failed to cover as 37.5-point home ‘chalk.’

-- Junior QB Steven Montez has connected on 73.4 percent of his passes for 855 yards with an 8/2 TD-INT ratio. Sophomore TD Laviska Shenault has 26 receptions for 455 yards and three TDs, while K.D. Nixon has 17 catches for 181 yards and one TD.

-- RB Travon McMillian, a grad transfer from Va. Tech, has made his presence known early and often. McMillian has rushed for 290 yards and three TDs while averaging 8.8 YPC. Beau Bisharat has 144 rushing yards and a 7.2 YPC average.

-- Colorado owns an 11-6 spread record in 17 games as a home favorite under MacIntyre.

-- UCLA has been victorious in six of the past seven meetings in this rivalry, including a 27-23 victory last year. However, the Buffs covered the number as 7.5-point road underdogs.

-- When these teams met at this venue on a Thursday night two years ago, star QB Josh Rosen was out with an injury. Nevertheless, I backed the Bruins as a 13-point road underdog and they covered for me in a 20-10 loss. The game was tied at 10-10 early in the fourth quarter.

-- The ‘over’ is 2-1 overall and 1-0 in UCLA’s lone road contests. The Bruins have seen their games average combined scores of 55.0 PPG.

-- The ‘under’ is 2-1 overall for the Buffs, but the ‘over’ hit in their lone home outing.

-- According to weather.com on Wednesday, the forecast for Friday night in Boulder calls for clear skies, light winds and a low temperature of 45 degrees.

-- Fox Sports 1 will provide television coverage from Folsom Field at 9:00 p.m. Eastern.


**B.E.’s Bonus Nuggets**

-- Northwestern RB Jeremy Larkin has been forced to retire due to a recent diagnosis of cervical stenosis, which is not a life-threatening condition but prohibits him from continuing to play football. Larkin ran for 503 yards as a freshman in ’17 while serving as the back-up to Justin Jackson, who is the all-time leading rusher in school history. Larkin had five rushing TDs and a 6.0 YPC average last season. He also caught 11 balls for 115 receiving yards. Larkin was enjoying an outstanding year to date, rushing for 346 yards and five TDs with a 4.8 YPC average through only three contests. He also had 19 receptions for 127 yards. This is a crushing blow for the Wildcats, who have lost back-to-back home games vs. Duke (21-7) and vs. Akron (39-34) since winning 31-27 at Purdue in their opener. Pat Fitzgerald’s team if off an open date and has had two weeks to prepare for Saturday’s home date with Michigan.

-- San Diego State star RB Juwan Washington is expected to miss six weeks with a fractured clavicle. Washington had run for 513 yards and five TDs with a 5.2 YPC average through four games.

-- After true freshman QB Trevor Lawrence was named Clemson’s starting QB on Monday, Dabo Swinney gave the senior signal caller Kelly Bryant the day off to absorb the decision. Then on Tuesday morning, Bryant announced that he will transfer and play his senior season elsewhere in 2019. Bryant threw for 2,802 yards with a 13/8 TD-INT ratio in ’17, helping the Tigers advance to the College Football Playoff, where they lost to Alabama in the semifinals. Bryant had completed 66.0 percent of his passes for 456 yards with a 2/1 TD-INT ratio this year. He had rushed for 144 yards and two TDs. Meanwhile, Lawrence has a 9/2 TD-INT ratio. Bryant will have plenty of suitors and be immediately eligible next year.

MLB | Braves vs Phillies
Play on: Braves -135 at 5Dimes

Jack’s Free Pick Friday: Atlanta Braves -135
The Atlanta Braves still have a lot to play for even though they’ve already clinched the division. They are tied with the Rockies for the No. 2 seed in the National League, and whoever gets the No. 2 seed will get home-field advantage in the first round.
The good news for the Braves is that they’ll be up against a Philadelphia Phillies team that has clearly quit on the season. The Phillies are 0-8 in their last eight games overall. They were just swept by the Rockies last season and outscored 39-6 in the process. Don’t expect them to offer much resistance in this series, either.
While Jerad Eickhoff will be making his first season of the season for the Phillies, the Braves will send ace Mike Foltynewicz to the mound. He is having a brilliant season, going 12-10 with a 2.88 ERA and 1.107 WHIP in 30 starts, including 7-6 with a 2.52 ERA in 14 road starts. Folty is 5-3 with a 3.22 ERA in 11 career starts against Philadelphia, including a 2.08 ERA in five starts against the Phillies in 2018.
The Braves are 10-2 in their last 12 road games vs. a right-handed starter. Atlanta is 39-18 in its last 57 vs. NL East opponents. The Phillies are 0-11 in their last 11 vs. a team with a winning record. Philadelphia is 1-9 in Eickhoff’s last 10 starts during Game 1 of a series. Bet the Braves Friday.

1* Free Pick on Toronto Blue Jays +145
This is a great price and spot to back Toronto in Friday's series opener against the Rays. The Blue Jays come in off an emotional 3-1 win last time out, as they delivered a win in their home finale for manager John Gibbons, who won't be returning after this season. I expect Toronto to continue to play hard in the final series of the season for Gibbons.
As for Tampa Bay, they just recently were eliminated from postseason play and when you are in the hunt this late, it's really hard to get motivated once you no longer have a shot. The Rays just lost 3 of 4 at home to New York and were lucky to come away with a win in their lone victory.
I look for Blue Jays starter Thomas Pannone to be the difference in this one. He's really flashed some potential in his 5 starts and enters this one with a 2.70 ERA and 1.100 WHIP in his last 3 outings. Look for him to keep it going against a Tampa Bay offense that has scored 2 or fewer in 3 of his last 4. Take Toronto!

Memphis is coming off 2 straight wins by scores of 59-22 versus Georgia State 2 weeks ago and 52-35 over South Alabama last Saturday. Memphis has now gone 16-6 during its previous 22 games played.

Any road favorite of 11.0-points or more (Memphis) playing in games 2 through 9 and is coming off 2 straight wins that each came by 17 points or greater, and they scored 54 points or fewer in their previous contest, and they’ve won 9 of more of its last 22 games, versus an opponent (Tulane) who’s coming off a loss in which they allowed 38 points or more, resulted in those road favorites going 25-0 ATS since 2010.

Memphis generated 563 yards of offense in that game — and they have played 8 straight games Over the Total after gaining at least 450 yards in their last game. Tulane (1-3) only gained 263 yards last week in their 48-6 loss at Ohio State — and they have played 5 straight games Over the Total after failing to gain at least 275 yards in their last game. The Green Wave has also played 7 of their last 10 home games Over the Total against teams with a winning record on the road. Take the Over. Best of luck — Frank.

1* Free Sharp Play on Memphis vs Tulane under 68 -110
My money is on the UNDER 68 in Friday's AAC action that has Tulane hosting Memphis. I just think the total here has been set way to high because of how great the Tigers offense has looked and the fact that the Green Wave just gave up 49 to Ohio State. The thing with Memphis is they have put up huge numbers against the likes of Mercer, Georgia State and South Alabama. The one decent team they played was Navy and they scored just 21 points. Navy like Tulane runs an option offense that eats up clock and limits the number of possessions. I also think that playing at home is a big plus here for the Tulane defense and them getting off the field. I just don't see these teams coming anywhere close to 70 points. Bet the UNDER 68!

MLB | Diamondbacks vs Padres
Play on: Padres +137 at 5Dimes

Dave’s Friday Free Play:
1* on San Diego Padres +137
The Key: The Diamondbacks had lost 8 of their last 9 games before upsetting the Dodgers in each of the final 2 games of their series to play spoiler. But they will get back to being dreadful here against the Padres with nothing to play for. I like the price we are getting with San Diego at home here. Eric Lauer is 1-0 with a 1.93 ERA in his last 3 starts for the Padres. Pat Corbin is 0-2 with a 5.87 ERA in his last 3 starts for the Diamondbacks. Lauer is 1-0 with a 1.80 ERA lifetime against Arizona. Corbin is 6-6 with a 4.56 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in 13 lifetime starts against the Padres. The Diamondbacks are 1-5 in Corbin’s last 6 starts. The Padres are 7-1 in their last 8 games following an off day. Take San Diego.
