Event: (961) Pittsburgh Pirates at (962) Philadelphia Phillies
Sport/League: MLB
Date/Time: September 23, 2021 7PM EDT Play: Bryce Harper Over 1.5 Total Bases -105
Bryce Harper Over 1.5 Total Bases -105:
Bryce Harper continues his MVP pursuit and has incredibly had 2 or more total bases in 19 of his past 26 games. This equates to a 73% success rate, meaning if you blindly tailed him at this price you would be up close to 12 units.
Harper has raked against right handed pitching this season as he has a 1.159 OPS and .335 batting average compared to a .817 OPS and .266 batting average against southpaws. He also hit 29 of his 33 homeruns and 31 of his 39 doubles against right handers. Tonight Harper faces a relative unknown in opener Connor Overton who has logged just 11 innings pitched in the majors between his time with Toronto and Pittsburgh this season. Overton hasn't allowed a run yet in those 11 innings, however his longest outing was only 3 innings where he threw only 54 pitches. Generally Overton is only good for 2 innings or so and then comes a very suspect Pirates bullpen. The Pittsburgh staff is especially vulnerable against left handed hitters, they have the leagues worst xFIP at 4.98, the worst WHIP at 1.49 and the 2nd worst ERA at 5.22. Tonight's game will be played at hitter friendly Citizens Bank Ballpark where Bryce thrives with a 1.128 OPS compared to .975 on the road. Bryce Harper at home, against a right handed starter and vulnerable bullpen is the perfect recipe for 2 or more bases at minimal juice.
Date/Time: September 23, 2021 7PM EDT Play: Marshall +7.0 (-110) 303 Marshall Thundering Herd at 304 Appalachian State -7, 60
The adage and warning to know to understand the difference between overreacting to performances by college programs that are unexpected are mission-critical to the bottom line in the early stages of a campus campaign. Please don't sleep on this Thundering Herd squad, as they are competent on both sides of the football.
Marshall quarterback Grant Wells threw for 433 yards in Saturday's 42-38 loss to East Carolina. The Herd's running attack was in mid-season form. Tailback Rasheen Ali ran for 189 yards and three touchdowns. Appalachian State beat East Carolina in their season-opener 33-19.
The Marshall defense is better than they performed in the loss and is deeper and more talented in the trenches. What most believe and the opening numbers in this matchup reflect is a game filled with exciting plays and many points. This Herd vs. Mountaineers event will be played close to the vest, and in the end, Marshall lines up to try a game-winning field goal. Regardless of the success of the Marshall field goal attempt is a free pick and play on Marshall who is catching a touchdown handicap in this Thursday night event.
Event: (601) Dallas Wings at (602) Chicago Sky Sport/League: WNBA
Date/Time: September 23, 2021 8PM EDT Play: Chicago Sky -5.0 (-110)
The WNBA playoffs tip off with the Sky hosting the Stars to get the party started. Host Chicago welcomes in Dallas for a single-elimination game as Candace Parker looks to turn away Arike Ogunbowale and her friends despite struggling at home for most of the season. Dallas has dropped five of its last six games but did win two of three matchups against the Sky since June 30, winning 80-76 on Aug. 17 behind Alisha Gray's 20 points. Parker scored just two points in that loss and is a different player now, which should make the difference. Guards Courtney Vandersloot, Kahleah Cooper and Diamond DeShields will lock up the cover at the free-throw line. Lay the points and ride the Chicago Sky -5 to move on in the WNBA playoffs.
