Wunderdog NFL

Game: Jacksonville at Miami (Monday 8/17 7:30 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Jacksonville +3 (-110) (risk 3 to win 2.7)

One of the most successful coaches in terms of playing to win in the NFL-X has been Jacksonville's Jack Del Rio. Del Rio has posted a 17-7 mark over the last six preseasons, and has not had a losing year with five of the six seasons finishing at 3-1! This year he has no reason to change that. In fact, his job is on the line this year so if anything, there's more reason for him to put a gloss on things. Tony Sparano lost his opener a year ago then won the next three. But he may have a different agenda this season as he needed to instill a winning culture at Miami in his initial season at the helm. The Dolphins are off an 11-5 season, and this one will be used to do more evaluating than winning. Getting a field goal on a strong preseason coach like Del Rio is a gift. I'll go with Jacksonville here.

Monday's play 10 Dime -- BRAVES (Hanson) -1 1/2 runs over Diamondbacks (Scherzer)

BRAVES
NOTE: List only Hanson as Atlanta's starting pitcher

Atlanta had won five straight before falling 4-1 to Philadelphia on Sunday night, and has been playing extremely well since the All-Star break. While Arizona has been playing good ball lately also, the Braves catch the Diamondbacks at a good time today.

Arizona had to travel to Atlanta from Los Angeles, where they played a weekend series against the Dodgers, and then has to travel to Philadelphia after today's game, which is being played due to a May 17 rainout.

I don't expect the Diamondbacks to be sharp in their one-game layover, especially facing Braves rookie Tommy Hanson (7-2, 3.05 ERA), who has posted a 2.53 ERA in his last 11 starts.

The 22-year-old right-hander allowed one run and seven hits with nine strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings Tuesday against Washington, and is 4-1 in six home starts. He has allowed no more than two earned runs in three of his past four outings.

The Diamondbacks will start Max Scherzer (7-6, 3.94), who bounced back from two poor outings to beat the Mets in his last game Tuesday, allowing two runs and eight hits with eight strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings.

Scherzer is 1-1 with a 5.40 ERA in four games (two starts) against Atlanta. He allowed eight runs and 10 hits in 3 2/3 innings on May 31 in his last outing vs. the Braves.

Atlanta again will be without center fielder and leadoff man Nate McLouth, who is nursing a sore left hamstring, but that shouldn't keep the Braves from jumping all over the Diamondbacks today. Take Atlanta on the run line.

Triple Threat Sports

Chicago Cubs at San Diego

Play: Chicago Cubs

Travel would seem to point towards the home team, but in reality both of these clubs had rather long trips to get here, and since their game was rained out early and the Padres played late (also du to rain) it is likely that the Cubs were there earlier than the Padres, so actually Chicago in a better travel spot here. Also, Cubbies have gone 11-2 in their last 13 games against losing teams while the Friars are 3-12 in thier last 15 against teams with winning records, and that includes last night's heartbreaking loss. Take the Fuzzies here.

Re: 8-17-09

4 Unit Play. Take the Chicago Cubs -125 over the San Diego Padres (Write-up to come shortly). The Cubs are in the thick of the playoff race. If the playoffs were held today, they would be 3.5 games back (the same as the Braves). Ted Lilly comes off one of his worst performances of the year. He was hammered for 7 runs in 4 innings as he averaged around 24 pitches per inning. The Phillies went on to win 9-1. Prior to that he had 3 straight quality starts and 8 of 9 quality starts overall. Correia is quite talented and he has produced four straight quality starts. By no means, this is to take nothing away from him. But, the Cubs are in the playoff chase, Lilly comes off a very poor effort and will look to bounce-back today and the Cubs offense certainly has an edge over the Padres. The juice isn't all too bad here and I believe we have a decent opportunity to pick up a win here in San Diego. The Cubs are 7-1 as road favorites of this margin and the Padres are 4-18 as home underdogs of late.
Good luck,
IC
