Illinois vs. South Florida
South Florida-17 -115

I released my "Game Of The Week" on Illinois last week. The Illini were at home and getting points against an over-rated Western Kentucky team. They rewarded me with a 20-7 victory. The Bulls represent a far more dangerous opponent though, one which has the schedule in its favor.
Illinois plays its first road game and does so on a short week. On the other hand, USF comes in well-rested, last week's game at UConn having been postponed due to Irma. While the Illini may have a 2-0 record, they've also been outgained by an average of 309.5 to 258, in terms of yards per game. That 258 number isn't going to cut it against an explosive USF attack.
The Bulls appear to be the "real deal" and have aspirations of a New Year's Day bowl game. They won 11 games last season and are experienced on both sides of the ball. Playing on ESPN, this is their chance to show the world how good they are. Don't be surprised when this one turn's ugly. Consider laying the points with USF.

TOMMY BRUNSON

Well, nobody said the Friday night schedule was always going to be glamorous, but in Massachusetts and Temple we have a definite chance to make some easy money by playing against the overvalued favorite Temple Owls.

Temple lost at Notre Dame, but did bounce-back to nip in-city rival Villanova a FCS team, 16-13 by hitting a 49-yard field goal with about one minute remaining in regulation. That type of win does not inspire confidence in laying double-digits even against the 0-3 Minutemen.

UMass may not own a win yet this season, but they do have revenge on their minds, as they allowed a pair of scores in the games final two minutes back in 2015 at home to lose a 25-23 heartbreaker to the Owls.

Remember, Temple's Matt Rhule took the bigger, better deal to go to Baylor, and thus far the Owls rebuild has gone a little slower than expected under new coach Geoff Collins. The Owls mustered just 79-yards rushing in last week's nailbiter over the Wildcats, while they allowed an eye-popping 382-yards passing! UMass has a QB in Ford that can move the pigskin through the air, so why not take the points out for a spin this Friday night?

Minutemen plus the call in Philly on Friday.

Orioles vs. Yankees
Yankees-1½ -115

The Baltimore Orioles took a 13-5 beating in the opener of this four-game series with the New York Yankees in the Bronx. I predict another easy win for the home team Friday night.
Baltimore hands the ball to 24 year old Gabriel Ynoa (1-1, 4.19 ERA) who will make his seventh appearance and second big league start. He was charged with three runs on seven hits in 4 2/3 frames of a 4-2 loss at Cleveland his last turn. The Yankees are perfect 5-0 in their last five games when facing a right-handed starter and they've covered the runline in 12 of their last 13 victories.
Luis Severino (12-6, 2.96 ERA) will take the ball for the Yankees. They've won 10 of his 12 starts since July 8, covering the runline in each win. Severino is 2-0 with a 2.95 ERA in three starts against Baltimore on the season and has the current Orioles roster limited to a .207 batting average through 121 at bats.
It's always a bit risky backing the home team on the runline, but note that the Yankees are 16-6 against the runline as a home favorite of at least -175 this season.
My free pick is on the New York Yankees -1.5.

RAY MONOHAN

Arizona -150

The Diamondbacks are worthy of a free move here on Friday night.
The Diamondbacks are looking to cap off the top spot in the Wild Card and with Robbie Ray on the hill here, this one makes sense.
Ray has gone 3 straight games with double digit strikeouts and already has tossed 6.2 scoreless innings against the Giants this season. Ray is in the midst of a very dominating stretch right now and given how bad the Giants are at home, he gets a strong edge here.
Some trends to note. Diamondbacks are 7-0 in their last 7 road games. Diamondbacks are 4-0 in their last 4 road games vs. a right-handed starter.
Arizona has been dominant on the road as of late, making them worth a move here.
Back Arizona.
Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Mariners vs. Astros
Mariners+112

Seattle/Houston 8:10: Going to fade the Astros as they fall in a 1 -5 slide after their 7-0 run. Astros' pitching remains sketchy lately and Charlie Morton isn't the answer. Morton sports a swelling 4.20 ERA with a 1.40 WHIP over his last 3 starts. Seattle is coming off a slugfest at Texas where they accumulated 18 runs in two days of work. The Mariners had the day off and send their ace James Paxton to the hill. Paxton has been consistently strong all season despite a mediocre performance (3 ER in 6 1/3 IP) in his last turn. Paxton has been fabulous against Houston this season allowing just 1 ER over 20 IP with 20 strike outs! Paxton also won his last 4 road tilts and 5-1 on Friday. And Seattle's a bit more secure with their bullpen as of late. Seattle the call.

My free play for Friday is the same team that made us money last night with my 80 Dime MLB Winner # 12 of 16 - and which matches my first-ever 80 Dime College Football Play tonight - as I'm playing the Chicago Cubs in their National League Central rivalry series against the St. Louis Cardinals.

This is an important series, and the Cubs (80-66) will be the team to watch, as it rolls in on a three-game win streak while holding off the Redbirds and Milwaukee Brewers.

The Cardinals (77-69) and Brewers (77-69) are tied for second, just three games behind the Cubs.

I won't bother with the pitchers, because when you get into a series like this, there is much more than who is on the mound. Besides, we have John Lackey (11-11) against Carlos Martinez (11-10). Does anyone really have an edge?

What I will say is this, that Chicago is 9-2 in Lackey's last 11 starts. But more importantly, the Cubs hold an 8-4 lead in the season series against the Cardinals - including a stellar 5-1 mark at Wrigley Field.

Take the Cubs in today's matinee.

3* CUBS

Joey Juice

The Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals will face off in an extremely important 3 game divisional series from Wrigley Field in Chicago. The Cardinals will go with 25-year old right-hander Carlos Martinez, while the Cubs will go with old man right-hander, John Lackey, coming off a great start last time out.

Martinez will look to shut down the Cubs again, he has allowed them only six runs in 20 innings so far in three starts this season.

A look inside the numbers shows that the St. Louis Cardinals Rock right-handers, in fact they are 6-1 in their last 7 games against righties.They are also on a roll right now, 8-2 in their last 10 games overall, while always playing well in the opening game of series, they are currently 5-0 in their last 5 series openers. Finally, Martinez has been solid for them historically after a strong outing going 40-19 in his last 59 starts following a strong outing in his previous appearance.

When we take a look at the Cubs, the numbers reveal that they are brutal at home against teams with a winning record as they are 0-4 in their last 4 home games against winning teams.

The Cardinals get the money in this one as Martinez shuts down the Cubs once again this season.

4* ST. LOUIS

Now about this complimentary winner

My free play for tonight is a big baseball underdog, as I like the Tampa Bay Rays over the Boston Red Sox. And in this game I want you listing the scheduled starting pitchers: Chris Sale and Matt Andriese.

I know I'm taking a big shot here, going against Sale, who is facing the Rays for the sixth time this season, but I think there is some revenge to be had. Sale has fared well against Tampa Bay, going 4-1 with a 2.06 ERA. The last time he beat them he also outpitched Andriese.

In his career at Tropicana Field, Sale is just 3-3, and I think the Rays could have his number this time around.

Meanwhile, Andriese will be making his third start in his return off the disabled list. His previous start, against these Red Sox, saw him allow eight runs (six earned) on seven hits in a mere 1.2 innings.

Tonight Im taking the big dog in revenge.

4* RAYS (Andriese over Sale)

MLB | A's vs Phillies
Play on: Phillies -118 at betonline

Jack's Free Pick Friday: Philadelphia Phillies -118

The Philadelphia Phillies just swept the Miami Marlins thanks to an offensive outburst that saw them outscore the Marlins 27-9 in the three games. The Phillies finally have their young prospects producing, and I think they'll continue to do so in Game 1 of this series with the A's.

I look for the A's to come in flat after playing back-to-back series against the Astros and Red Sox. Daniel Mengden is one of the worst starters in baseball, going 0-1 with a 7.07 ERA and 1.643 WHIP in three starts this year. Mengden is 2-10 with a 6.59 ERA and 1.616 WHIP in 17 career starts across his two seasons in the big leagues.

Mark Leiter Jr. is a nice young talent for the Phillies who has held his own in eight starts this season for the Phillies. He has been especially effective at home, going 1-2 with a 2.37 ERA and 1.000 WHIP while allowing just 5 earned runs in 16 innings.

The A's are 19-47 in their last 66 road games. Oakland is 1-8 in its last nine vs. NL East opponents. Philadelphia is 4-1 in its last five home meetings with Oakland. Bet the Phillies Friday.

MLB | Mets vs Braves
Play on: Mets +136 at BMaker

Free Pick on Mets +

I like the value here with the Mets on the road in Friday's series opener against division rival Atlanta. The Braves simply shouldn't be this big of a favorite here, especially given how well New York starter Rafael Montero has been throwing the ball. While he's got just a 4.67 ERA in 15 starts overall, he's 3-0 with a 2.41 ERA in his last 3 starts.

Atlanta will counter with lefty Sean Newcomb, who has had a tough go of things. He's just 2-8 with a 4.38 ERA in 16 starts and a miserable 1-6 with a 4.82 ERA and 1.682 WHIP in 10 starts at home. On top of that, he comes in with an ugly 5.52 ERA and 2.045 WHIP in his last 3 starts.

NY has been a good team to back on the highway against the NL East, as they are 40-27 over their last 2 seasons in division road games. Starting a series strong has been a problem for Atlanta, who is just 4-11 in their last 15 series openers. Braves are also just 5-16 in their last 21 home games against the Mets. Take New York!

NCAA-F | Illinois vs South Florida
Play on: Illinois +17 -110 at 5Dimes

It's been a rough week for USF who saw their game last week postponed due to the hurricane and they only had three days of practice this week. There are a lot of expectations for the Bulls who by some accounts could go undefeated and represent the group of 5 in the New Year's bowl. Problem is that while they are 2-0, they haven't looked great in either game. The run game has worked, but the defense has been leaky at times when it's not forcing turnovers. USF beat San Jose State by 20 and Stony Brook by 14. Illinois is very young in spots, but their defense has been good at times. They clamped down on Western Kentucky in a 20-7 home win. Illinois' offense will have to be better though considering they've managed just 44 points against Ball State and WKU. If they can get Epstein and Bonner involved and play keep away, they can cover this spread. To me, there's going to be some rustiness from the team out of the AAC and I think Illinois can keep it close.
