  The Raiders showed up with their ‘A’ game last week in Arizona. Jon Gruden gave his starters ample work, and Oakland led 26-0 by halftime, before their reserves blew most of the lead late. That was then, this is now.
  Here are some meaningful quotes from Gruden about this week:
  “There’s going to be some guys that are vying and competing to become starters. But some of the front line guys will probably be very limited in the next two weeks…..
  “We’re going to go play a home game in Canada. Haven’t done that before. We’re looking into the surface that we’re playing on (reportedly hard turf) and we’re not sure how much we’re going to play our starters……
  “We’re planning on having a good experience in Winnipeg. I’ve never been there. I don’t think some of our players have been to Winnipeg, so we’re planning on taking everybody.”
  And let’s not forget this one: “We have a (flu) bug going around here. We got a lot of guys that aren’t feeling great. I don’t know (who will play) right now for the Canada trip.”
  Sure sounds like a complete ‘no-show’ game from Oakland for this bettor. And that’s not what I expect from Green Bay, even if Aaron Rodgers sits with his bad back once again. The Packers did NOT bring their ‘A’ game to Baltimore last week, to put it mildly, especially on the defensive end of the field.
  Packers head coach Matt LaFleur was furious about the team’s shoddy tackling – they’ve missed 43 tackles in two games. Here’s a cut and paste from the local papers:
  “The coaches took a back-to-basics approach in practice throughout the week, emphasizing the importance of taking good angles to the ballcarrier, coming to balance on approach and wrapping up the offensive player upon arrival…..There were times when the defense’s physicality appeared to take offensive players by surprise.
  “While the biggest perpetrators on the missed-tackle front have been players who are on the roster bubble, defensive coordinator Mike Pettine made it clear this week that the issue needs to be resolved and that it applies to everyone on that side of the ball — with no excuses or exceptions.
  “A lot of our misses are with our young guys. I think some of it is just getting used to the speed of the game and some of the athletes they’re trying to tackle as opposed to what it was like for them in college. But we’re going to continue to work it. We’re not going to panic and go to live tackling drills. We understand the issues and who the culprits are, and hopefully we’ll take a step forward this week.”
  This is a cheap price to lay for a preseason game where one team is primed to show up and the other one isn’t! Expect a comfortable Green Bay victory, even if it’s mostly Kizer and Boyle at QB this week. Big Ticket: Take the Packers.

Corbin v. Musgrove
So the Nats are 2 games into the series in the Steel City with the spoilers of the NL in the Pirates. They pissed down their legs completely and utterly allowing a basic walk off in the Marte HR and spoiling Strasburg's excellent start!
Who to blame? Up for debate: the nasty bullpen, Dave Martinez, the offense who has 2 TDs worth of runs in the 2 games...but a measly 1 for SS...allowing the quick easy comeback and usurp....talk amongst yourselves.
Here's what isn't up for debate: who has been the NL's best, and simultaneously least aided starter since July 1?
Patrick Corbin. Period.
2-0 is his record, but leads the league in ERA/FIP/xFIP, is stranding 85% of baserunners, struck out over 60.batters in 47 innings, and allowed 15 runs in 8 starts.

Wainwright/Houser
To me this is the same script as yesterday. This is a playoff type baseball game and the Brewers have not established themselves to be anything better than a good home team. This Milwaukee Bullpen just is not postseason quality. I will continue to ride the red hot Cardinals against a team with major flaws. At this even money price there is zero downside to doing so. Sometimes it’s best to keep it simple. Take the Cardinals
