Baseball

903 Miami Marlins +1½ RUNS +110: This is an automatic play for us taking the run and a half plus money is a high percentage angle play.

907 Cincinnati Reds +115: Cincy still in the hunt especially after the Cardinals loss last night, they had yesterday off while Pittsburgh was taking it’s frustrations out on the Padres.

912 Colorado Rockies -135: Colorado off good win last night catch the Diamondbacks off battle with the Dodgers.

915 Houston Astros +200: Good spot for Houston to pull off big win at a big price as they send out Oberholzer who has gone 3-2 in his last five starts with a 2.98 ERA while McAllister for the tribe has gone bad going 0-2 in his last three starts with and ERA of 8.78.

917 Chicago White Sox +1½ RUNS +115: Same situation as the Marlins as we take the auto play +1½ runs plus money.

NCAA Football Play of the Day September 20, 2013 6:35 AM by GT Staff

Boise State at Fresno State at 6:00 p.m. PST

The Bulldogs have a minus sign in front of the point spread for the first time since these two have been battling it out and that is because this is not a normal Boise team of the past, the favorite has gone 11-0 SU and ATS in this series and Fresno State under head coach Tim DeRuyter have gone 8-0 SU at home.

306 Fresno State -3

2 UNIT = Minnesota Twins @ Oakland Athletics - ATHLETICS -1.5 (+102)
Listed Pitchers: Albers vs Colon
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 2.04 units)

The A's took the first game of this four game series 8-6 last night, handing Minnesota their 7th loss in 9 games. Oakland on the other hand has won 7 of their last 9 games and lead the AL West. Tonight's starter vs Minnesota is Andrew Albers who has had a roller coaster start to his Major League career. He is 2-3 with a respectable 3.81 ERA over his first 8 starts, but he's also allowed 4+ earned runs in half of his starts. His latest start lasted just 4 innings where he gave up 6 hits and 4 earned runs. He will be facing an Oakland team that is 2nd in the Majors in team batting average in September (.286) and 2nd in OPS at .838. The A's will counter with Bartolo Colon who is 16-6 with a 2.73 ERA and 7-3 with a 2.74 ERA at home. He has been stellar as of late allowing just 3 earned runs over his last 4 starts with 18 strikeouts and just 2 walks over that span. Note that the A's are 19-7 in their last 26 overall, 18-6 in their last 24 vs AL Central opponents, 39-19 in their last 58 home games, and 14-5 in Colon's last 19 home starts. They've also taken 5 of their last 6 meetings at home vs the Twins. I like the A's to stay hot and Colon have another solid outing - I'm taking Oakland on the run line tonight.

2 UNIT = San Francisco Giants @ New York Yankees - GIANTS TEAM TOTAL OVER 3.5 (-129) **See write up below
Listed Pitchers: Lincecum vs Sabathia
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 1.55 units)

This is a bet on the Giants team total over 3.5 runs. This means we need San Fran to score 4 or more runs. Almost all sportsbooks offer this but if for whatever reason you can't bet it I would substitute it for OVER 8.5 in the game.

San Francisco comes into this one winners of 5 of their last 6 games. During that span they've scored 4+ runs 5 times and averaged 6.83 runs per game with a big 19-3 victory in there on Saturday. In September the Giants are 3rd in the Majors with a team .286 batting average and an OPS of .777 (5th). They will be facing CC Sabathia who has had a year to forget going 13-13 with a 4.90 ERA. In 11 starts since the All Star break the big lefty is 4-5 with a high 6.58 ERA, .298 OBA and 1.64 WHIP. In his latest start vs Boston he went 6 innings giving up 9 hits and 5 earned runs with 5 strikeouts and 4 walks. He has given up 3+ earned runs in 6 straight starts. Take note that the OVER is 9-3 in Sabathia's last 12 starts overall and 5-0 in his last 5 home starts. The OVER is also 7-1 in the Yankees last 8 home games. Instead of taking the OVER 8.5 in today's game I think we've got more value in taking the Giants team total over 3.5 laying a bit of chalk.

How do ESPN's top franchises stack up against the odds?

ESPN The Magazine has released their annual list of the best franchises in sports, factoring in things like fan relations, affordability, players, ownership, coaching and track record to reach their final standings.

However, it seems the folks at the World Wide Leader forgot to add one important ingredient to the mix: Sports betting.

You may have the best stadium in the business, awesome players and a banners hanging from the rafters. But unless you are constantly covering the spread or coming home with the moneyline moola, some sports fans couldn’t give two craps.

On Friday night the free MLB Power System Play is on Colorado. Game 912 at 8:10 eastern. Colorado applies to a system direct from the database that has won 10 of 11 times and plays on home favorites off a 1 run home win, vs an opponent off a 1 run home dog loss like Arizona. Colorado has won 16 of 24 on Friday. Arizona is 0-3 on the road off a home loss of late and has lost 7 of 10 on the road when the total is 9 to 9.5. In the series Colorado has won 5 of the last 7 here. Tonight they have J. Chacin making the start and he has won 11 of 16 home team starts and has won both here this year vs the Diamondbacks. Delgado goes for Arizona and he has a mediocre 4.80 road era and a 5.74 era over his last 3 starts. Look for Colorado to take the opener. Don't miss the Friday card that has the Huge 5* MLB Game of the Month backed by a Tremendous 20-1 Destroyer system in a reasonably lined game. There is also a solid 18-2 totals system and the ESPN College Football play chocked with 6 Big Angles.
