Phillies -130 over Braves
Halladay/Minor
The Phillies have a shot. It might be very small, but this team needs to keep winning and they need to keep winning when their best pitchers are on the mound. The Phillies gained some ground last night and things could get real interesting in the wildcard hunt come this time next week. This is a good price for Halladay regardless of the need to win. Take the Phillies.Comment

3* Arizona State -6.5... back to well again with the Sun Devils. Again, I think the tempo of their offense will take its toll on Utah and they just will not be able to keep up. They have a solid D, but look for ASU to pull away as they wear the Utes down. Besides that, Utah's backup QB is still figuring things out. They do get their starting RB back, but I don't think it'll be enough. On top of all of this, Utah is coming off that very emotional win last weekend over in-state rival BYU. Expecting a big letdown as the Utes travel off the big win.
2* Oregon State +7.5... I'm not a fan of Jim Mora Jr. and I don't believe that this UCLA team is as good as its 3-0 record and Top 20 ranking might indicate. Sandwiched in between their wins over cupcake teams was a dramatic win over a very overrated, in my opinion, Nebraska team. Oregon State, on the other hand, has played only one game thus far, a win over a not-very-good Wisconsin team. The Beavers have had 2 weeks to prepare for this game and Riley's teams are always tough conference matchups. Their power running, multiple formation, multiple TE offense will control the tempo of the game and their defense should hold up well against the UCLA running game. It should be a very tight game, we'll take the TD and the hook.Comment

2 UNIT = Milwaukee Brewers @ Washington Nationals - BREWERS TO WIN (+135) *1:05 PM EST START*
Listed Pitchers: Peralta vs Gonzalez
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 2.70 units)
The Brewers won last night's meeting 4-2 to make it 6 straight wins and make a further push for the Wild Card spot as the Cardinals dropped their afternoon game. The Brewers, who many counted out of the playoffs a while ago, sit 1.5 games back of St Louis with a 78-72 record. The Nationals have clinched their playoff berth and are sitting at 91-59 right now. Tonight's pitcher for Milwaukee will be Wily Peralta who has been sensational in his first three starts. Over 3 starts he is 2-0 with a 1.80 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and .212 opponents batting average. In his last two starts he has pitched a combined 14 innings giving up just 1 earned run against, while striking out 9 and walking just 2 batters. We'll see a great pitching match up as the Nats send 19 game winner Gio Gonzalez to the rubber tonight. Gonzalez is 19-8 on the year with a 2.95 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and .207 opponents batting average. Note that the Brewers are 24-6 over their last 30 games overall, which includes 6 straight wins and wins in 9 of their last 10 games. Milwaukee is also 4-0 in their last 4 games as an underdog, 9-2 in their last 11 vs a left handed starter, and 16-5 in their last 21 vs a team with a winning record. The Nationals are just 2-5 in their last 7 games. Gonzalez is one of the best pitchers in baseball right now, but Peralta has shown that he can really limit hitters as well. I like the Brewers, who are a much more desperate team right now and who have been winning a lot of baseball games lately, as underdogs.
1 UNIT = Atlanta Braves @ Philadelphia Phillies - PHILLIES TO WIN (-118) *4:05 PM EST START*
Listed Pitchers: Minor vs Halladay
(Note: I'm risking 1.18 units to win 1.00 unit)
A little shorter write up here for the 1 unit play. The Phillies won last night's game 6-2 and have now won 4 straight games as they continue to fight for their lives 3 games back in the Wild Card race. This is a team that was even further out of playoff talks than Milwaukee, but winning 20 of their last 27 has given them an outside shot. The Braves hold the #1 Wild Card spot with a 86-65 record. Atlanta has dropped 2 of 3 coming into tonight's game and they are just 2-5 in their last 7 road games. Take note that the Braves have scored 3 or fewer runs in 12 of their last 16 games. Atlanta will have Mike Minor on the mound who is 9-10 with a 4.31 ERA, but has pitched exceptional over his last three starts allowing just 1 earned run against. Vet Roy Halladay takes the mound for Philadelphia and he is 10-7 with a 4.03 ERA, but hasn't had his best stuff lately. Take note that the Braves are 1-5 in Minor's last 6 road starts, while the Phillies are 29-10 in Halladay's last 39 home starts. The Phillies are also 10-1 in their last 11 home games vs a left handed starter, 5-0 in their last 5 home games vs a team with a winning record, and 22-8 in their last 30 home games overall. Philadelphia is also a solid 9-2 in their last 11 vs a team with a winning record and 9-2 in their last 11 following a win. I think we have a good price on Philadelphia who has been the hotter team lately, especially at home. 1 unit on PHI.Comment

A total meltdown from another Charlie in the 3rd inning prevented us from another Sweep. Not to mention an Amazing Backdoor cover allowed from the Bears gave us a profitable night. It is Sweet to be on the "Right Side" of those for a change.
Anyway Charlie still has his target set on a NCAAF Triple Sweep and here are his plays...

#354 California +15 -105 over USC
6:00 PM EST. We were guilty last week of either undervaluing this Golden Bears club, overvaluing the Buckeyes or a combination of both. As a 16½-point pooch last week at Ohio State, California gave OSU the scare of the season.
The Trojans had visions of playing for a National Championship. They entered the season ranked higher than Alabama. Three games in and USC already has a loss, they’ve dropped to #13 and hopes of playing in the biggest college game of the year are all but down the drain. That morale killing loss to Stanford last week is likely to have lingering effects. Teams with high expectations can suffer all season long when this happens early, as we’ve witnessed over the years.
Cal comes in after that aforementioned, uplifting performance at Ohio State. They showed so many positive signs as they displayed some exciting playmakers, a solid defense and the ability to compete when challenged. The Trojans are ripe for another upset as they look to get back on course. We’re not so sure they’ll find their way.
Our Pick#354 California -105 (Risking 2.1 units - To Win: 2.00)
#373 Kansas State +16½ -105 over OKLAHOMA
7:50 PM EST. Not often do we find a ranked team taking back 16½ points unless the club spotting the weight is an undisputed powerhouse. Oklahoma comes in ranked #6 in the nation. While the placing could be warranted, the Sooners are going to have to prove that they’re worthy of such a price. Having to be three scores better than these Wildcats will provide such a test.
OSU has played two games. They beat two marshmallows in UTEP (24-7) and Florida A&M (69-13). The challenge here is much more difficult, as K-State’s offense is a methodical and talented group that will look to control the clock. It should prove to be successful as the Sooners are not strong on the defensive line of scrimmage, having shown definite weaknesses against the run. Meanwhile, KSU has played one more game than the Sooners and they’re 3-0 this season with wins over Missouri State (51-9), Miami (52-13) and North Texas (35-21).
Oklahoma quarterbacks were sacked 11 times last season. This year's Sooners have already allowed three sacks to UTEP and five more to Florida A&M. Oklahoma is about to face a team with 30 seniors, a Hall of Fame coach, a Heisman-candidate quarterback and the best defense the school has fielded since 2003. Oklahoma is tough to beat in Norman but this year's team has some issues. K-State will battle for a win here, let alone a cover.
Our Pick#373 Kansas State +16½ -105 (Risking 2.1 units - To Win: 2.00)
#326 NORTH CAROLINA -14½ +100 over East Carolina
3:30 PM EST. The Tar Heels rolled over Elon in their season debut and with Louisville on deck in Week 3, they took Wake Forest for granted in Week 2 and lost by a single point. Subsequently, they went into Louisville last week and found themselves down 36-7 at the half. Instead of quitting, they woke up big time and outscored the Cardinals 27-3 in the second half. That run revived the optimism in the locker room and restored some much-needed confidence. This team is feeling good again, preparing well and is ready to play its best game of the year.
Despite being 2-1, East Carolina has been outgained in every game this year. They virtually have no running game. They’ve demonstrated neither sharp execution on offense nor signs that the defense can handle ACC-calibre playmakers. When playing a quality club in South Carolina, the Pirates were whacked by 38 points. UNC is a quality club, whose stock is low due to back-to-back losses. Even though it’s a two-touchdown plus spot, we feel it is underpriced. A foul mood Tar Heels roll this week.
Our Pick#326 NORTH CAROLINA -14½ (Risking 2 units - To Win: 2.00)Comment
