                  5 DIME HOUSTON TEXANS
                  5 DIME SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

                  San Diego Padres

                  The Phillies are 71-57 overall, including 31-32 on the road. Prior to last night’s extra-innings win, they had lost four in a row and six of eight, and they’re handing the ball to a pitcher (Joe Blanton) who is 5-6 with a 5.32 ERA on the season, including 1-4 with a 6.55 ERA in nine road starts.

                  The Padres are 76-51 overall (tops in the National League), including 38-24 at home. They’ve won 13 of their last 18 games (including six of eight at Petco Park), and they’re handing the ball to a pitcher (Jon Garland) who is 13-8 with a 3.25 ERA, including 7-2 with a 2.49 ERA in 13 home starts. Garland this month is 4-1 with a 2.01 ERA, as opponents are batting a collective .191 against him in August, and since the All-Star break he’s 5-2 with a 2.57 ERA and a .200 batting-average-against.

                  So why is San Diego such a cheap favorite this afternoon? Because the oddsmakers simply refuse to give this team – far and away the most profitable club in baseball this year – its proper respect. And smart bettors continue to make the oddsmakers pay for that disrespect.

                  Some more numbers to chew on with respect to this pitching matchup: With this being a day game, it must be noted that San Diego has been unseasonably hot this week, and the beefy Blanton is 3-3 with a 6.10 ERA in day games, while the svelte Garland is 6-2 with a 2.98 ERA in day games. And check out Blanton’s career numbers in three starts against the Padres: 13 runs (12 earned) and 23 hits allowed in 16 innings (6.75 ERA, 1.63 WHIP). He started a June 6 contest in Philly, which the Padres won 6-5 in extra innings.

                  Bottom line: San Diego may trail Philadelphia in terms of All-Star representatives and marquee players, but any way you want to crunch the numbers, the Padres are the better team. Throw in the fact San Diego has baseball’s top bullpen (2.82 ERA, compared to the Phillies’ 4.01 ERA) and I’ll gladly lay the cheap price with the best team in the National League.


                  Houston Texans

                  Clearly, the Dallas Cowboys aren’t putting forth much effort this preseason. Yes, their record shows they’re 2-1 SU and ATS, but one of those victories came in the Hall of Fame Game (16-7 over the Bengals), which is the biggest waste of time every year. And in last week’s 16-14 victory over the Chargers in San Diego, Dallas got outgained by 100 yards, with the offense mustering a pathetic 194 yards of total offense.

                  The Cowboys did finally produce an offensive touchdown last week, but it came after a turnover in the red zone. The only other time Dallas has found the end zone in three games was a 6-yard INT return for a score in the Hall of Fame Game. Overall, the Cowboys’ offense has accounted for just 34 points in three games while averaging just 251 total yards per game (68.3 rushing ypg). And Tony Romo has been far from spectacular, completing just 46.4 percent of his passes for 141 yards with one score and one pick.

                  Romo’s poor numbers are largely the result of the fact that he’s playing behind a patchwork offensive line. The Cowboys have been decimated by injuries to key guys up front (hence the reason the running game is netting just 2.8 yards per carry). Because of the line woes, I don’t expect Romo to play as long as he usually would in these Week 3 contests – and if he does play, I certainly doubt he’ll be dropping back to pass a lot since the Texans having a very good pass rush.

                  Speaking of Week 3 preseason contests, the Cowboys haven’t taken them very seriously. They’ve lost two of their last three, going 0-3 ATS. Two of those non-covers were against Houston, including a 28-16 loss back in 2007. In fact, the home team is a perfect 7-0 in this rivalry (five preseason games, two regular-season contests), with the Texans going 3-0 SU and ATS at home.

                  After consecutive road losses to Arizona (19-16) and New Orleans (38-20) in which the team showed very little on both sides of the ball, you can expect the Texans to come out clicking in their first home game. And there’s no doubt they’ll be playing to win, unlike Dallas, which is just trying to keep bodies healthy.


                  Seattle Seahawks

                  This number makes no sense. I know Brett Favre is going to see more action tonight than he did Sunday, when he was on the field for one series in Minnesota’s 15-10 loss to San Francisco. But if he plays more than six series – or about 1½ quarters – I’ll be shocked. For one thing, he knows this offense inside and out and only needs to play long enough to knock off the rust. For another thing, he’s without his top two WR targets in Sidney Rice (surgery this week) and Percy Harvin (ongoing migraines). And no way top RB Adrian Peterson gets more than a handful of carries.

                  Seattle, meanwhile, hits the road after a couple of tight preseason home games, rallying past Tennessee 20-18 in Week (as a 3½-point home chalk) and falling to the Packers 27-24 (as a 2½-point favorite) last week. So this marks Pete Carroll’s first time in hostile environment as Seattle’s head coach, and I’m very sure he’s going to treat this like a regular-season game, right down to playing his starters well into the third quarter.

                  Also, despite the SU and ATS results so far this August, the Seahawks have still been a preseason force since 2004, going 19-7 SU and 18-8 ATS in exhibition action. During this six-plus year stretch, Seattle is 9-3 SU and 10-2 ATS on the road in the summer, and 9-2 ATS as an underdog.

                  Make no mistake: I realize that Minnesota is the superior team here. But there’s really nothing for the Vikings to gain by taking this game seriously – in fact, they’ve got a lot to lose in the form of potential injury. On the flip side, Carroll will be playing to win tonight, I guarantee you that. And the Seahawks have a ton of guys still fighting for jobs, and that includes at quarterback as veteran Matt Hasselbeck is being pushed by newcomer Charlie Whitehurst (former third-stringer for the Chargers).

                  Finally, the Vikings are just 3-5 in their last eight preseason home games, and Seattle has cashed in three straight Week 3 preseason tilts, the last two on the road as an underdog.

                      Several factors pointing to the Jags, as phrases such as "alot at stake" and "demand a winning attitude" are coming from team leaders (Garrard, Jones-Drew) this week, as the team is 0-2 with two close losses in the preseason. Also, Bucs lost at home in Week Three last year whereas the Jags are 3-1 SU and 4-0 ATS in Week Three of the preseason the last four years, 4-1 SU and ATS in this preseason "series" and are also playing their starters longer - into the third quarter - while the most the Bucs starting units will play is until the half.

                            Game: Boston Red Sox at Tampa Bay Rays Aug 28 2010 7:10PM
                            Prediction: Boston Red Sox
                            Reason: In Matt Garza’s last start, he allowed only four hits in seven and two-thirds and the Rays won 3-2 in Oakland. Thy Rays haven’t won in this spot in a long time. Tampa is 0-8 since August22008 when Matt Garza starts when he had a WHIP of less than one on the road his last start. The SDQL text is:
                            starter=Matt Garza and s:SWHIP<1 and s:A and date>=20080801

                            By running the query you can see that the Rays were the favorite in six of the eight games. In Garza’s three starts in this spot this season, he has not produced a single quality start.

                            The Red Sox send Clay Buchholz to the hill in an effort to gain more ground in the wild card race. Buchholz has been spectacular recently, but, unlike Garza, he is a good investment in this spot. Boston is 19-0 with Buchholz when he is off a quality start, as long as he was not a 170+ favorite in that start. The SDQL text is:

                            starter=Clay Buchholz and s:QS and s:line>-170 and 20090819<=date>

                            Boston has won these 19 games by an average of a staggering 4.6 runs, with the average final score 6.7 runs to 2.1 runs.

                            As a team, the Red Sox are 7-0 after a win in which they drew 1 or fewer walks. The Rays, on the other hand, are 0-6 as a FAVORITE when they are off a loss in which they had at least three times as many hits as runs. The Rays’ starters have zero quality starts in the six games and Tampa has lost by an average final score of 7.3 runs to 4.3 runs.

                            We estimate that the Red Sox have a better than 50-50 chance of winning here, which makes them a play at +130.

                            MTi’s FORECAST: Boston 5 TAMPA 3
