#401 Jacksonville Jaguars +4 (8:00 edt) ESPN
Many great trends here pointing to the Jags. Jacksonville is 13-1 ATS on the road against NFC teams and they are 11-3 ATS on the road off of a home game. The Bears are 1-11 ATS in the second of back to back home games and they have only covered 3 of their last 18 times when playing their second pre-season game at home. Jacksonville is 19-12 ATS as a pre-season dog and Chicago is 19-26 ATS as a pre-season favorite. Take the Jags and the points here.Comment

NFL Preseason Week 2!
It’s not often the Jacksonville Jaguars appear on national TV but they will get some national exposure as they meet the Chicago Bears on ESPN on Thursday night.
The Bears looked good in last weeks 34-28 win over the Eagles but I believe this line (-3) is slightly inflated. I fully expect the Bears to sit their starters for the majority of tonight’s game with QB Jay Cutler getting limited snaps. Jimmy Clausen and Jordan Palmer will do most of the play calling behind centre with backup players at WR and TE. It is worth noting that the Bears are only 1-3 ATS in Week 2 of the preseason the last four years.
The Jags beat the Bucs 16-10 last week and looked solid defensively in a low scoring game. QB Chad Henne should play a lot more series tonight with the first-team offense especially in the first half. Rookie QB Blake Bortles went 7-11 for 117 yards last week in two quarters of playing time and looked fairly comfortable in the pocket. The Jaguars are the team with a lot more to prove this season and winning is something they need to focus on even in preseason.

MLB Aug 14 ,2014 7:10p [915] Houston Astros
[916] Boston Red SoxHouston Astros +141
at BMaker4-unit Play Take #915 Houston Astros over Boston Red Sox (7:10pm EST) It's hard to believe how sharp the decline has been for the Boston Red Sox. After winning the World Series last season, they find themselves in last place in the AL East at 54-65. And it's not like they've been unfortunate with tons of injuries or lots of losses in close games. This team has just played terrible baseball and they've deserved what they have gotten. As of today, they are only five games better than the Houston Astros - their opponent in this one. The Astros actually have a better record than the Red Sox from May on and are getting better by the day with all of their young talent. Tonight we see two bad starting pitchers in Scott Feldman for the Stros and Allen Webster for the BoSox. Feldman is a cagey veteran that doesn't have great stuff but always seems to keep his team in the game. He own s a respectable 4.14 ERA but his peripheral numbers are nothing special. Webster is a complete mess at the moment. He comes with a 4.93 ERA, but he has a horrific 8-13 K/BB ratio. That's as bad of a ratio as you will, and is ERA is going to continue to climb if he can't improve. Webster had a decent season in Triple-A, but the pressure is clearly getting to him in the majors. Until he figures that out, Webster is fade material. We get a great price on Houston and will gladly take it. Comment

MLB Aug 14 ,2014 8:40p [911] Cincinnati Reds
[912] Colorado RockiesCincinnati Reds +110
at bovada20* MLB Underdog GAME OF THE MONTH on Cincinnati Reds +110
Great value here for a Cincinnati Reds team that needs to make a run. At 60-60, they trail the Brewers by 5.5 games for first place in the NL Central and the Cardinals by 3.5 games for the final NL wild card spot. They should get right against the league-worst Colorado Rockies (46-74).
Alfredo Simon is having a tremendous season in Cincinnati this year. The right-hander has gone 12-7 with a 3.08 ERA and 1.147 WHIP in 23 starts, including 7-3 with a 2.89 ERA and 1.098 WHIP in 12 road starts. He'll be up against a Rockies team that is without their two best players in Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez.
Jorge De La Rosa has been the best starter in Colorado's rotation this year, but that's not saying much. The left-hander has gone 11-8 with a 4.34 ERA and 1.255 WHIP in 23 starts. De La Rosa hasn't had any success against tonight's opponent, going 2-2 with a 7.64 ERA and 1.924 WHIP in four career starts against the Reds.
Cincinnati is 34-8 (+25.1 Units) against the money line vs. an NL starting pitcher whose ERA is 4.20 to 4.70 over the last three seasons. The Rockies are 12-43 in their last 55 games vs. a right-handed starter. Colorado is 5-22 in its last 27 during game 1 of a series.
Simon is 9-0 (+10.0 Units) against the money line on the road when the money line is +125 to -125 this season. The Reds are 9-1 in their last 10 games vs. a left-handed starter. The Reds are 7-0 in Simons last seven road starts vs. a team with a losing record. These three trends combine for a 25-1 system backing Cincinnati. Bet the Reds Thursday.[ back to top ]NFLX Premium Picks

Kevin's Pick(s):
Last night's pick start off pretty good, but quickly went downhill as the game ended up well over the total. Two system plays today...
2 UNIT = Pittsburgh Pirates @ Detroit Tigers - TIGERS -1.5 (+115)
Listed Pitchers: Liriano vs Scherzer
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 2.30 units)
2 UNIT = Washington Nationals @ New York Mets - METS TO WIN (+140)
Listed Pitchers: Strasburg vs Gee
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 2.80 units)
Kyle's Pick(s)
2 UNIT = Oakland Athletics @ Kansas City Royals - UNDER 7.5 RUNS (-125)
Listed Pitchers: Samardzija vs. Shields
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 1.60 units)
Last night certainly went according to plan. Mikolas got torched like expected and our bet was never in doubt. The only thing I didn't do right was put 5 units on it.
Afternoon start here in Kansas City, which is typically the norm for Thursday around the league. Two well known commodities will duel one another, as Jeff Samardzija will go up against James Shields. Samardzija has come a long way from playing football and baseball at Notre Dame. Most people knew him as Jeff Samardzija the football player, not baseball back then. Now with a steady career in baseball, Samardzija has made a name for himself, and now will be counted on to take the A's deep into the playoffs. With an ERA of 2.83 the pressure on him will be elevated once we hit that time of year. He's been okay lately, for his standards, with a 3.18 ERA his last three starts. However, his last two he only allowed 2 runs each. The Royals haven't faced Samardzija as a starting pitcher in his career, advantage to the pitcher. He'll need to contend with James Shields who has been money for the Royals the past few weeks. He's gone eight starts not allowing more than 3 runs. In addition, his ERA is stellar at 1.17 in his last three starts, and the WHIP is good as well with a 0.83. This equates to Shields being one of the hottest pitchers in the majors currently. He only gave up 4 hits and 2 runs in his last outing against the A's. Shields is on a 4-0 run to the UNDER and 6 out of his last 7. In their last ten games, both teams haven't looked good against right-handed pitching, .238 for the A's and .233 for the Royals. Both pitchers should be able to make quick work of the opposing lineups. I see a 3-2, 4-2 type ballgame, so in my opinion the UNDER 7.5 looks good. A number that I thought was going to be 7.Comment

Top Pick
MLB Aug 14 ,2014 7:10p [907] Washington Nationals
[908] New York MetsWashington Nationals -135
at BetOnline5* NL East Game of the Month on Nationals -
Washington has taken the first two games of the series and I'm confident they will finish off the sweep Thursday. The Nationals have simply owned the Mets over the last 3 years. They are 35-13 overall and a dominant 20-4 in New York.
The Nationals will send out Stephen Strasburg, who has a 4-1 team record with a 2.70 ERA and 1.000 WHIP over 5 career starts against the Mets. Strasburg was rocked for 7 runs in his last start, but he's got a strong history of bouncing back from a bad outing like that. In the 4 previous times he allowed more than 5 earned runs, he's came back in his next start and allowed 2 runs or less.
New York is just 4-18 in the second half of the season over the last 3 years against teams who are outscoring opponents by 0.5 or more runs/game and 1-7 in Gee's last 8 home starts as an underdog of +110 to +150. Washington is 37-17 in their last 54 games as a home favorite and 18-8 in Strasburg's last 26 starts in game 3 of a series. All these trends combine to form a 73% (80-30) system in favor of the Nationals. Take Washington!Comment
