Detroit at Tampa Bay
Fister vs. Hellickson
The Tigers are going to Minnesota after this. The Rays are headed for Toronto. That’s two long flights and they want to be there for beddy-bye time tonight. The umpires gotta be somewhere else, too, so they’ll want to move this thing right along. Fister finally settled in with Detroit in his last start, holding the Indians to 6 hits and 1 run in 7 innings. The Rays’ Jeremy Hellickson is a Rookie of the Year candidate, with 11 wins, a Batting Average Against of only .216, and 1.16 WHIP. He has given eight straight quality starts in his home ballpark, with a 1.84 ERA in those eight games.

TORONTO (Cecil) -170 over KANSAS CITY (Francis)
The Blue Jays evened this series with a victory in last night's game, and they are poised to win
the rubber match tonight. Toronto has compiled a 7-1 record in night games vs. righthanders at
Rogers Centre (+$550 with 6.0 runs per game) and KC's Jeff Francis has been one of the biggest
money-burners in the league (-$960, 4.72 ERA in 26 starts). The stumbling Royals are only 3-14
on the road vs. lefties (-$805) and Brett Cecil is looking better since he returned to the rotation
at the end of June (3.86 ERA last two starts). Big price, but it looks too good to pass up.

4-Unit Play. #601. Take Tulsa +14 over Seattle (Tuesday @ 10pm est).
Tulsa is a bad team as it relates to straight up wins and there is no doubt about that as they are 1-24 SU. But, the only record that matters is how they do ATS and more important, how are they in this situation to potentially cash for us. With that said, Tulsa will get up for this game as they play the defending champs, after all, they don't have the playoffs to look forward and it is apparent that they haven't thrown in the towel on the season either. Tulsa has covered back to back games against Minnesota (the league's leader and the Sparks as 13 and 8.5 point dogs) and they face a team in Seattle who is not known for scoring a great deal of points - which explains why this total is set at 141. Look at it this way, it is fairly significant to get 14 points out of a total of 140 or about 10% of the available point value before the game starts. With Tulsa playing a bit better, not seeing the playoffs and facing the defending champs in what is expected to be a relatively low scoring game, I think its worth it to take a shot here on Tulsa to stay within the 14 point impasse as this is the only game on the board as well so its worth it to go against the public a bit here and take the underdog.
I have been featured on the sites Pride Side Investments and Sports America Sports Service, am handicapping independently this year and will bring you the easy money when it comes to NFL:
1. Eagles -7 over Browns: BET BIG ON THIS!!!
Analysis: After getting a major ass kicking to the Steelers last week, the Eagles need to bounce back big. With that in mind, a source has informed me Vince Young's job as backup QB is in jeopardy because he is failing to learn the Eagles system while Kaftka is making great strides each week and knows the system like the back of his hand. With this in mind, you can expect both QBS to be at the top of their games tonight. The Browns have been extremely conservative this week in getting ready for the Eagles with numerous player injuries, they are practically expecting to lose this game...POUND THIS PICK BIG!
2. Panthers/Bengals: Under 34
Cam Newton is expected to play 3 quarters tonight in the game, this is going to prove what he is worth. As many bettors are pounding the over against a shaky Bengals Defense in the preaseason I am not. THe Bengals de Antwan Odom suffered a gun shot wound in a home invasion two days ago and the franchise is fired up and ready to prove they can play defense. This is going to be a tough defensive battle tonight and will look like a regular season game.
3. Redskins/Ravens: Over 33.5
Loving the over in this game, the Redskins have been praising QBS Beck and Grossman for their preseason performances, Shanahan has been taking Beck and Grossman out to dinners to show his appreciation. Now tonight they will get a true defensive test which in my opinion will result in two ways. They throw good and score or they throw bad and the Ravens get quick pick 6's. The Ravens will also test their running game tonight with the addition of their new tackle McKinnie. I feel confident about the over, bet this as a much lighter bet in comparison between my first two picks.
