WUNDERDOG (WNBA)
WNBA 73-59 Season-to-Date +$1050
1 OF 5
Game: Connecticut at Tulsa (4:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Game Total UNDER 153 -110

Connecticut can play any style, but they face a Tulsa team that is the worst in the WNBA and can't shoot. Their last home game they shot 42% from the field and 22% (5 of 22) from long range. The previous home game they shot 41% in a 73-67 loss to LA. Tulsa comes home from a trip to LA where they did quite a bit of celebrating, a 77-75 win that ended a WNBA record 20-game skid. Now they get to face a talented Connecticut defense and the UNDER is 18-7-1 in the Shock's last 26 overall, plus 5-2-1 in their last eight home games. I don't see as much offense as the oddsmakers anticipate. Play Connecticut/Tulsa UNDER the total.

3 Unit Play Take #977 Chicago White Sox -118 over Seattle (4:10pm est):

Very nice price here on a team still in the playoff hunt and who is going up against a team without anything to play for. The White Sox have come into Seattle and took care of business so far in this very important series for them.

Gavin Floyd takes the hill for Chicago here in this one. Floyd is coming off a very sharp performance last out against the always tough Texas Rangers, striking out six while waking just one in seven shutout innings. He has been much better this year on the road with an ERA more than 3.50 runs better. Also the White Sox have won six of the last seven times he has taken the hill priced as a road favorite like we have in this one. Now he goes up here against one of the worst offenses in baseball this year.

The Mariners counter with Jason Vargas in this one. Seattle has won just one of the last six times Vargas has been a home dog coming into this one and are just 2-7 in his last nine starts overall. Seattle has nothing to play for right now and are really playing like it of late, dropping four straight home games and they are just 17-36 their last 53 games overall.

Cheap price here for a much better pitcher and team who has something to play for in this one. Take the White Sox. We are just a few days away from the start of the big CFB season. It's going to be a heck of a ride this year on the gridiron and you can be a part of it for one low price. Call our offices today and sign up for my early bird football special before this offer ends. I won my clients money 12 of the first 13 weeks last year in football and am off to another hot start so far this season with my NFL pre-season selections making money. The key to winning early in a football season is being prepared and having good information. Being out here in Las Vegas and doing this for a living allows me to be ready to roll at the start of any sport season. Don't miss out as the lines only get tighter and the winning gets harder the later in a year we get. The time is now as the CFB season kicks off this week. When you sign up you get every one of my college and pro football plays for one low price. This isn't like most other services who make you buy each package, you get both my college and NFL together here at ***** Sports, making this easily the best value in the industry.

3-unit Play Tampa Bay Rays/Toronto Blue Jays UNDER 7.5 (1:05pm ET) We have a set of aces facing off today in the series finale between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Toronto Blue Jays. These teams are basically out of the playoff race, but today's starters are very competitive and won't lose their edge on the mound in this one. Left-hander David Price goes for the Rays and right-hander Brandon Morrow for the Jays. Everyone knows that David Price is one of the best pitchers in the American League, but he has been on fire of late going 2-1 with a 1.13 ERA in his last three starts. He's also been excellent against Toronto over the course of his career. In addition, the Blue Jays offense has been sputtering ever since the allegations of the man in stands that was stealing signs surfaced. Over their last 10 contests, the Jays have only averaged 3.44 runs per game, well below their seasonal average. Apparently it's a lot tougher to hit the opposing pitcher when you don't know what pitch is coming.
Brandon Morrow has dominating stuff but has struggled a bit to keep runs off of the board. He leads the major leagues in strikeouts per nine innings and has posted the lowest walk rate of his career. However, he has given up a lot of hits with runners on base and has seen his ERA hover above 4 for most of the season. His skills are clearly much better than his ERA indicates and he should be able to keep an inconsistent Rays lineup in check today. Tampa Bay has underachieved at the plate this season and they only average 4.11 runs per game against right-handers. The Under is also 9-2-1 in the Rays last 12 games overall. I expect more of the same today with two starting pitchers that have such great stuff.
GAME OF THE WEEK
5-unit Play Take #980 Texas Rangers (-115) over Los Angeles Angels (8:05pm ET) The Texas Rangers and Los Angeles meet on the Sunday night game of the week for what is the most important game of the season for both teams. The Rangers currently have a slim 2-game lead in the American League West division after dropping one to the Angels last night. Every time the Angels have gotten close to first place this season, the Rangers have found a way to knock the Angels back down. Today's starter Colby Lewis will try to do that again today for Texas. Lewis is 11-9 with a 4.07 ERA in 2011, very respectable considering that he pitches in a hitter's ballpark in Arlington. He goes against a subpar Angel lineup that has never really gotten into a rhythm all season long. The Angels are 20th in runs scored in the major leagues and don't have anyone in their lineup having a great year. They've been looking for some of their youngsters to step up and it hasn't quite happened as they imagined.
The Angels counter with their ace Jered Weaver. The young right-hander is having a Cy Young-type season at 15-5 with a 2.02 ERA. However, he is throwing on only three days of rest in this one, which is usually very detrimental for starting pitchers. He's also been tailing off of late and hasn't shown the same stuff that he did earlier on in the season. His velocity is down a bit and it appears that all of the pitches he has thrown this season could be catching up to him. Weaver faces an extremely tough group of Ranger hitters who rank third in all of baseball in runs scored. The Rangers are especially good at home with a 41-27 mark on the season. Another edge that the Rangers have in this one is in the bullpens. The Rangers have better setup men and definitely have a better closer in Feliz. If you look inside the numbers, the Rangers are clearly the better team overall as their run differential on the season is +95 runs while the Angels are only at +24 runs. The Rangers have also been their best this season when the Angels are breathing down their necks, so I expect them to bring their A-game in this one. Weaver is tough but he's not invincible, especially on the road in a tough environment like Arlington. It's not very often you're going to see such a short price on the Rangers at home, so you have to take advantage when it's there. That's why I've made the Rangers my Game of the Week selection.

3 -3 this week
New Orleans Saints vs. Oakland Raiders
The Oakland Raiders will look to get off the 2011 preseason schneid when they welcome the New Orleans Saints into O.co Coliseum for the final match-up of the Week 3 exhibition slate; kick-off is set for 8:00 ET live on NBC.
After coming out like gangbusters and embarrassing the San Francisco 49ers in every way imaginable in their first preseason tune-up of the season, QB Drew Brees and the Saints were offered up a big dose of humility by the Houston Texans en route to their 27-14 road defeat last week. New Orleans only tallied scoreboard scratches in the 2nd quarter of the game with the lone TD pass coming from backup QB Chase Daniels when he connected with WR Joseph Morgan from 56-yards out. The defeat dropped the Saints to 0-3 SU & 1-2 ATS in their L/3 preseason road tussles.
After the Arizona Cardinals stole what looked to be a surefire victory from the Raiders in the closing moments of their NFLX Week 1 clash in the Coliseum, Oakland played the role of sacrificial lambs to the San Francisco 49ers whom they fell to in Week 2 by a 17-3 final tally. Their fans in the crowd and parking lot seemed to have more fight than they did evidenced by the countless number of skirmishes caught on tape and broadcasted all over You Tube. The Raiders barely surpassed 200 yards of combined yardage, with the trio of QBs Jason Campbell, Kyle Boller and Trent Edwards combining to throw for just 151 yards and a pair of interceptions.
Look for the home team to take the field with much determination on Sunday night knowing full well what happened the last time these teams collided in the preseason back in 2009. New Orleans spanked the then Tom Cable led Raiders by a 45-7 final tally in tonight’s venue as 2.5-point road chalk. HC Sean Payton is 12-11 SU & 13-10 ATS as the Saints head coach in the preseason as well as 5-2 SU & ATS as an exhibition season chalk the L/3 seasons. Oakland’s 2-3 SU & 1-3-1 ATS in its L/5 preseason home games, the ‘over’ cashed in each of those contests and is 8-2 O/U in the team’s L/10 overall exhibition battles.
PICK: New Orleans / Oakland OVER
