NFL Preseason Free Play
SEATTLE (-2.5) over Green Bay
8:00 p.m. EST

We have hit 4 of our last 5 in the NFL Preseason and tonight we are again backing one of favorite pre-season coaches. Seattle Head coach Pete Carroll is 9-1 ATS in the pre-season since taking over the Seahawks. Not only has Seattle won but Carroll has delighted in crushing teams in the pre-season having won six consecutive pre-season games by double digits!!That's unheard of in pre-season games and it's a big reason why the Seahawks are favored on the road. The Pack seem content to get to the real games as they have been very vanilla in splitting their first two pre-season games. We expect more of the same from them tonight and for Carroll to play to win again in the pre-season. Take Seattle over Green Bay.

MLB	Aug 23 '13 7:05p	Arizona Diamondbacks vs Philadelphia Phillies Take: Total 7½ un-121		in 7h
*3 Star 100% Angle Total* The Arizona Diamondbacks and Philadelphia Phillies meet in an interesting game Friday night. Wade Miley and Cole Hamels both started the season very poorly, but if we look at how well they have been pitching of late it is very impressive. Hamels is 5-13, but he has been throwing the ball extremely well of late. Hamels has a 1.96 ERA in his last 3 starts. Miley has a 2.86 ERA in his last 3 starts. The under is 5-0-1 in the last 6 games overall. The under is 6-0-1 in the Phillies last 7 against the NL West. The under is 4-0 in the Phillies last 4 games against a lefty. The under is 7-0 in Hamels last 7 home starts. The under is 5-0 in his last 5 starts overall. The under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings between these two. The under is 4-0-1 in Miley's last 5 starts as an underdog. In all, a 35-0 angle backs this play. Take the under.

MLB	Aug 23 '13 8:10p	Washington Nationals vs Kansas City Royals Take: Total 7½ un-115		in 8h
*4 Star MLB Play of Day* The Washington Nationals and Kansas City Royals are both struggling against left-handed pitchers of late. Gio Gonzalez and Bruce Chen have both been very good this season. Ian Desmond is injured and will likely miss this game and Lorenzo Cain is out with an injury for the Royals. Two pitchers who are pitching well and two short-handed lineups here. The under is 7-0-2 in the Royals last 9 games as a favorite. the under is 5-0-2 in the Royals last 7 games against a team with a losing record. The under is 4-0 in Chen's last 4 starts against a team with a losing record. The under is 4-0-1 in Chen's last 5 home starts. The under is 5-0-1 in the last 6 meetings. The under is 7-1 in the Nationals last 8 road games against a lefty. Take the under.

MLB	Aug 23 '13 10:10p	Boston Red Sox vs Los Angeles Dodgers Take: Los Angeles Dodgers -112		in 10h
*3 Star Red Sox/Dodgers CASH* The Los Angeles Dodgers have been the hottest team in baseball of late. The Dodgers are 45-10 in their last 55 games overall. The Boston Red Sox are in the middle of a tough West Coast trip. Boston is a very good team, but they are really going up against a very confident team in the Dodgers. David Ortiz may miss this game because of a back injury, and the Red Sox aren't used to the pitcher having to bat. The Dodgers are 5-0 in their last 5 Friday games. They are 8-1 in their last 9 interleague games. The Red Sox are 0-5 in their last 5 games following a win. Take the Dodgers.

Arash Usmanee vs Argenis Mendez
Usmanee +400 over Mendez

9 pm EST on ESPN2
LOCATION: Turning Stone Resort & Casino Verona, NY, USA
IBF super featherweight title – 12 Rounds. This is a superb match-up for Mike Tyson’s foray in the promotional end of boxing. Argenis Mendes was a talented amateur that has begun to find his way in pro ranks. He is fairly solid in every department. He can box, hit with authority and is quick. Argenis has also improved over the past two years, as evidenced by performing better in rematches with quality fighters Martin Honorio and Juan Carlos Salgado. Mendes lost to Salgado in late 2011 but was able to score a tremendous KO in their rematch earlier this year.


Arash Usmanee is a native Afghan that has resided in Canada since he was a child. He also had a decorated amateur career and put on an impressive showing in a controversial loss to Cuban prospect Rances Barthelemy. After losing the first two rounds, he was able to walk down and land on Barthelemy for the remainder of the fight. Teddy Atlas had it 9-3 in rounds for Usmanee but he was in the Cuban’s backyard in Miami and was simply robbed. Usmanee is not the slick stylist that Mendes is. And he’s probably not the better puncher but he brings toughness and a work rate that can be a handful. The similarly stylish Barthelemy simply couldn’t discourage Usmanee, who kept walking forward and landing excellent power punches. If Mendes isn’t able to hurt Usmanee, he will have a tough fight on his hands. Usmanee threw over a 1000 punches in his bout with Barthelemy and had a lot of gas in the 12th round. Mendez is not 4½-1 better than Usmanee and we would go as far as saying that no result would be a surprise. In other words, Usmanee’s chances are so much better than these odds suggest and with him being such a large underdog, he’s absolutely worth a bet.


Our Pick
Arash Usmanee +400 (Risking 1 units - To Win: 4.00)

Calgary @ TORONTO
Calgary +3 -110 over TORONTO

THIS IS A NO WAGER. You’re going to read about how the Stamps have a horrible history against the Argonauts over the past decade or so, especially in Toronto. In fact, the Double Blue has defeated the Stamps in 11 of the past 13 matchups, including six in a row. It gets even worse so try to wrap your head around this. The Stampeders are missing their starting quarterback (Drew Tate), starting tailback (all-star Jon Cornish), starting right guard (all-star Dimitri Tsoumpas), and four starting receivers in all-star Nik Lewis, Maurice Price, Joe West and Johnny Forzani. This is not privy information. Everyone knows the Stampeders come in here with more casualties than a Quinton Tarantino movie and a poor history. Why then, is the first place Argonauts just a small three-point choice here? That should make Argonaut backers a little bit nervous. The entire betting world is on the Argos and that’s another red flag we’re always aware of. That said, the Stamps are going to come in here and play their hearts out. They are sick of losing to this team and they’re even sicker about hearing about it every time they play Toronto. It’s time to put a stop to it and even without their top players, the Stamps are capable of coming up big.
The Argonauts are saying the right things. They are insisting that they will not take this decimated team lightly. The Argos also have the league’s top rated passer in Ricky Ray, who has not thrown a pick the entire year and that has completed a sick 78% of his passes. For this game, the Argonauts stock is soaring while the Stamps stock is lower than it’s been all year. We’ve seen it over and over again in this league for years. That being, a team that looks great falters when least expected. The Riders looked unstoppable and all of a sudden, in the span of two weeks, they look awful. We saw signs of the Argonauts being in trouble when Mike Reilly carved up the Toronto defense for 511 passing yards and three TD’s last week. The Stamps have very capable back-ups at the QB and RB positions in Kevin Glenn and Matt Walter, respectively. Said Kevin Glenn about RB Walter, “You can’t go to sleep on him. He has that deceptive speed type of thing. He’s very quick in and out of the hole. I think he does a very good job of that”. In relief of Cornish last season, Walter averaged 7.1 yards per carry so the Argos better not take this guy lightly. In the end it would not surprise one bit to see the Argos roll over this intruder once again but we can’t get on board for that because it looks too easy and everyone is on that side. It’s also difficult to pull the trigger on the Stamps because of so many unknowns but one should never underestimate a banged up team with motivated players getting an opportunity. With that, we’re going to sit this one out and watch from the rail.

No bets.
