(921) BAL Orioles
(922) TOR Blue Jays
Take "Over"
A couple of decent offensive teams meet here. Baltimore is 6th in the AL in runs scored, while Toronto has been terrific offensively in the second half of the season while getting key offensive players healthy. The joke in Baltimore is that the Orioles are in a tailspin these days, thanks to a pitching staff that can't even get health insurance anymore. They are on their way to their 11th straight losing season. You can't walk batters in a hitter-friendly stadium like Toronto, but Orioles righty Daniel Cabrera has walked 90 in 180 innings, a terrible ratio. And he's getting worse: 14 walks in his last 12 innings! Jesse Litsch is 1-3 with a 5.24 ERA against the Orioles, and an 11.57 ERA this season. Cabrera is 4-8with a 4.92 ERA against Toronto, walking 48 in 93 innings. Look for plenty of runs in this one. Play the Orioles/Blue Jays over the total.

COLORADO 24 - West Virginia 17—Both teams off last week. Key question is whether WV can get its offense going after 5 Patrick White TDP in opener vs. Villanova, but then only 3 points & 251 yards at East Carolina?Colorado sees plenty of spread offenses in the Big XII, allowing 23 ppg LY vs.Oklahoma, Baylor, Kansas and Texas Tech, but 55 to Mizzou.

JIMMY THE MOOSE

Game: San Francisco Giants at Arizona Diamondbacks Sep 18 2008 9:40PM

Prediction: Arizona Diamondbacks

Reason: The Giants have been playing a lot better but heading into last night's game they had lost 2 straight and are facing a team they always struggle against. The Giants are 20-41 in their last 61 road games vs. a left-handed starter. San Francisco is 17-36 in their last 53 games overall vs. a lefty. The Giants have lost 5 of their last 6 road games vs. a team with a winning record. Heading into game 3 of the series last night the Diamondbacks had already won the first two games. Arizona needs to win this one to keep their playoff hopes alive. The Giants are 5-13 in their last 18 trips to Arizona prior to Wednesday's game. Play on the Arizona Diamondbacks -.

Connecticut at New York
Pick: New York -1

The Eastern Conference Semifinals will begin in New York as the Connecticut Sun take on the New York Liberty. The Sun opened the season looking like the class of the WNBA with an 8-1 start, but the finish was a very pedestrian 13-12 mark, which included losses in three of their last four games. What is most eye-opening here is the Sun has failed to beat a team with a winning record on the road since June 20! They have averaged losing these games by 6.5 points a game. The Liberty suffered two losses to the Sun during their opening 8-1 run, but when these teams met later in the season, the Liberty won at Connecticut by six points, as a 5.5 point dog. The Liberty has not only bridged the gap between them and the Sun at the beginning of the season, but is valued here at home especially in a game they just basically have to win to get the cover.

Game: Seattle at Kansas City (2:10 PM Eastern)
Pick: 4 units on Kansas City -201 (moneyline) (risk 4 to win 2)

The Royals are currently playing well, and have the good feeling of a team out of any playoff contention as they have won six straight, which makes it fun to go to the ballpark. The same can't be said for Seattle which has now lost seven straight in a row and nine straight on the road. Zack Grienke has pitched to a 2.21 ERA over his last six starts, and has not allowed more than three runs in any of those six outings. Ryan Feieraband has not pitched well at all, as he brings a 5.79 ERA into this one with an even-worse 9.88 road ERA. The Royals may be in last place in the AL Central, but they have more wins against left-handed pitching than any other team at 32-22. I like Royals for the sweep.

Game: Philadelphia at Atlanta (7:10 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Atlanta +185 (moneyline) (risk 3 to win 5.6)

Atlanta has been completely lost on the road, but they enter this one with the same home record (41-36) as the Phillies’ road mark. Cole Hammels has pitched well this season, but in his last six road starts the Phillies have managed just two wins. Consider those two wins were over the worst two teams in the NL in Washington and San Diego - he hasn't beaten a decent team on the road since before the All-Star break. Jo Jo Reyes has not pitched well this season, but his last home start he allowed just one run and four hits in six innings, and may have found something to build on. The oddsmakers like to pile on the chalk with teams in a pennant race, turning the value the other way, so I'll back the Braves here.


Game: New York Mets at Washington (7:10 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Washington +183 (moneyline) (risk 3 to win 5.5)

The Mets’ bullpen is in shambles. They have already blown 27 saves on the season and leading 8-2 last night, they needed eight relievers to hold off the Nats, winning 9-7. Johan Santana has been robbed of six wins this season, because the bullpen could not close the game. It has lead to him throwing more pitches (112.5 avg in his last six), than Mets’ ownership would like to see, and may start costing him down the stretch. The high pitch count still hasn't gotten him past the seventh inning in any of the games and he has left to a no decision in three of them. Tim Redding has started 19 games in which he allowed three or less runs, and the Nats have won four of his last five starts. The Mets fell apart last year and show signs of doing so again - blowing a four-game lead in just a week, and their pen can't be trusted. The value is on the Nats here.

Today's Games...

1. 300,000♦ Colorado

2. 50,000♦ NY Yankees

3. 50,000♦ Cardinals



1. Colorado- First things first, this is NOT the 2007 version of the Mountaineers, as two things have become painfully clear with this new-look Bill Stewart led WVU squad: A. Pat White desperately misses playmakers RB Steve Slaton and WR Darius Reynaud, as their offense has struggled to get it done despite returning most everyone else from last years high-powered attack. And B. Bill Stewart's insistence on switching to a more pass-based pro-style attack has not gone over smoothly, as was clearly demonstrated by their 24-3 blowout loss at Eastern Carolina.



What's more is coach Stewart was quoted as saying he's going to back to the running attack in this contest, after Pat White tossed 51 passes in the first two games. Herein lies the problem, as the Buffaloes defense is especially stout against the run, and if Stewart stays true to his word (which I expect), they'll be playing right into the strength of this Colorado defense, allowing just 59 rushing yards per game thus far.



For all you West Virginia-backers out there, I got one question for you: How in the hell is a young and vulnerable WVU secondary going to stop Cody Hawkins and this high-powered Buffaloes passing attack?! Remember this stat: Opposing QBs are 43 of 55 for 502 yards against this Moutaineers defense thus far this season. That's right, two games and already the WVU secondary is getting exposed! More of the same tonight, as Hawkins puts on a clinic at home. Not to mention, when Hawkins isn't slinging the ball, star frosh RB Darrell Scott is just as dangerous as Noel Devine, if not more!



Finally, you have to believe the Buffaloes and their fans will be fired up in this national TV appearance. Look for a lot of energy coming from Colorado early and often in this one. Not to mention, the Buffaloes are also on a 5-0 run ATS in 2nd of back-to-back home games, which should tell you a little something about home field advantage. In the end, coach Stewart flip-flopping between pass-based and run-based attacks is a BAD sign, as his offense flounders in the confusion. Do not sleep on this Colorado team, especially at home, against a soft-ass WVU secondary. Buffaloes roll!



Take Colorado plus the points over West Virginia as your top-rated play of the day.



2. NY Yankees- For as much as the White Sox need to keep winning games, tonight's match up maybe biting off more than they chew. New York is playing well, and while its too little too late, there's no question they're highly motivated in their final homestand at their beloved Yankee Stadium.



While Mike Mussina hasn't pitched well of late, I expect he'll bounce back nicely tonight for two reasons: A. He's been downright nasty against the White Sox at home, going 6-1 with a 3.25 ERA in 7 career starts there. He's won 5 straight at Yankee Stadium against the White Sox, make it 6 after tonight! And B. He's coming off a tough home loss to the Rays, where he got tagged for 5 run in 5 innings. I fully expect he'll come out looking for redemption in this one, and he'll deliver, plain and simple.



Opposing Mussina is Javier Vazquez, who's looked good over his last 3 starts, but let's not get carried away... 2 of his last 3 starts came at home, where he's much more comfortable. On the road Vazquez is a different pitcher, going 5-7 with a 4.47 ERA. Not to mention, his career numbers against the Yankees leave a lot to be desired, going 1-4 with a 6.14 ERA in 5 starts! With the Yankees offense coming back to life, Vazquez will find himself in trouble tonight.



Finally, let's look at perhaps the biggest short term disparity, and that's the bullpen play. White Sox 'pen has been atrocious of late, posting a laughable 9.12 ERA over their last 10 games. New York on the other hand, has been rock-solid, posting a 2.88 ERA over the same span! In the end, look for the Yankees to take care of business as the suddenly sputtering White Sox will have to wait for a trip to Kansas City before picking up another much-needed win.



Take the NY Yankees behind Mussina over the Chicago White Sox and Vazquez in this MLB match up.



3. Cardinals- Looking over each team's recent play, I can understand why bettors would shy away from the Cardinals in this spot. But let me be the one to tell you, expect the Redbirds to snap out of their funk tonight, and here's why:



First, Edinson Volquez has not been the same pitcher of late, as his innings and pitch counts have risen, his effectiveness has declined. Sure, he was solid at soft-hitting Arizona in his last one, but the 3 starts prior saw him allow 14 runs over his last 18 innings, with no less than 110 pitches thrown in each start. Not only that but his command has been off, walking 6 in his last start, and allowing 16 hits over his last 3. Cardinals offense may be slumping, but a sputtering Volquez is just what the doctor ordered.



Second, let't not forget Kyle Lohse has some payback in order in this match up, as we all know him and Volquez do not like each other after their last meeting (where both pitcher threw at each other, resulting in a 5-game suspension for Lohse). Despite his struggles of late, going 1-4 with a 4.72 ERA over his last 10 starts, most of that is due to a slumping Cardinals offense, as he's posted a solid 2.33 ERA over his last 3 starts! Included in those starts were two excellent road efforts, where Lohse allowed 2 runs over his last 14 inning away!



Finally, for all the struggles of this St. Louis club, they still own the edge in two critical categories: A. Though they maybe slumping at the plate, their team batting average is still 15 points higher than the Reds over their last 10 games... So don't tell me the Reds offense is any better than the Cardinals right now. And B. despite their winning streak, the Reds bullpen has been highly suspect over their last 10 games, posting a 4.85 ERA, as compared to the Cards 2.48 ERA over the same span! In the end, look for the Cardinals to turn it around tonight in Cincy, as they take advantage of a seemingly fatigued Volquez, while Lohse gets his redemption in the process!



Take the Cardinals behind Lohse over the Reds and Volquez in this MLB match up

triple-dime bet303 West Virginia -2.5 (-110) SportBet vs 304 Colorado
Analysis:
-2.5 at Bookmaker.com



We're getting TREMENDOUS LINE VALUE on a team that has a 34-6 record over its last 40 games - especially when considering that East Carolina is a Top 10 caliber team - displaying that in shutting down both Virginia Tech and West Virginia in back-to-back weeks.



West Virginia has had two weeks to get prepared for this ESPN clash and will undoubtedly get back to is winnings ways and that's RUNNING THE FOOTBALL.



Why is this important you ask? Well the Colorado Buffaloes are 0-12-1 ATS when getting outrushed by an opponent during the Dan Hawkins' era, which includes an 0-4-1 mark at home.



That's trouble considering that West Virginia has outrused all 17 opponents on the road the past three years and 34 of its last 35 opponents overall. They've managed to produce 4,711 yards on the ground compared to just 1,591 for their opponents.



West Virginia still has some players that are not use to losing, as this is the first time the current senior class has been at a .500 record - which is VERY IMPORTANT when preparing for a game.



Finally - West Virginia relishes this type of road situation, as they are 7-1 ATS in the second of back-to-back road games - covering the spread by 6.5 points.

double-dime bet908 FLA / 907 HOU Over 8 Bookmaker
Analysis: Unfortunately the hurricane Ike didn't just cause damages on the social life of thousands of people, but also in the sports life of the city and the Astros were one of the victims. The Astros were the hottest team in the whole MLB until September, 11th. But then the hurricane Ike prevented the Astros from playing until September, 14th and then all the momentum was gone. The team lost 4 consecutive games, with the offense being awful with .000, .037, .152 and .182 of Batting average. For this game, I expect the team to improve a little bit in the offense and I'll explain why later, with the Marlins at the same time being in a great run and fighting for the postseason via wildcard. Yesterday's game ended with a Marlins win by 14-2 and for today, I expect an high scoring affair once again, but much closer.

The Astros will send Alberto Arias, who on his debut for the Astros against the Pirates went scoreless in 5 innings, allowing just 2 hits. Even though he had a great debut, I expect today's game to be much different, as first of all Houston was on-fire at the time of his debut, with an huge momentum, which gave a lot of confidence to Arias, while right now the team is currently on a losing streak and lacking confidence. And to make things even worse, they will face a team with a great momentum right now, with 7 wins in a row and when this team has confidence, they are extremely dangerous in the offense, with them being 19-9 Over after 3 or more consecutive wins over the last 2 seasons.

On the other side, the Marlins will send the southpaw Scott Olsen and this may be the solution for the offense of the Astros. Olsen comes from a quality start against the Nationals, where he allowed just 1 run in 6 innings, but he has been terrible lately, as he allowed 4-6-4-4-3-5 runs before this quality outing. So I wouldn't be surprised if he has another letdown today. That's good news for the offense of the Astros, which has been horrible lately, but we need to remember that they faced Zambrano, Lilly, Volstad and Nolasco, which didn't help them at all and today against Olsen, their task will be much easier.

Houston is 14-2 Over after allowing 12 runs or more over the last 3 seasons and I expect a good response from both offenses today. The line is at 8 runs, so it is accessible, having in account the scenario of this game. Take the over in here. Double Dime Pick!



Thu, 09/18/08 - 7:10 PMAndre Gomes | MLB RunLine
dime bet905 NYM -1.5 (-125) Bookmaker vs 906 WAS
Analysis: This play has as a basic fundament an important psychological analysis, which combined to a technical analysis makes the Mets an excellent option for this game. Yesterday's win over the Nationals was extremely important in psychological terms, as we all remember the collapse of the Mets at the end of last season, where the Mets didn't hold a decent lead over the Phillies and ended up out of the postseason. The team entered a similar situation lately, as the team before yesterday's game had lost 3 of their last 4 games and curiously the Nationals were the responsible team for the two previous losses of the Mets and coincidence or not, it was also the Nats the team which was the main responsible for the Mets' last season collapse. If we add the fact that the Mets were coming from yesterday's game with just 2 and 0 runs scored in their previous two games, their scenario for yesterday's game wasn't great. However the Mets won yesterday by 9-7 and this win was one of the most important of the season for them and the team will now come more confident for today's game. This was the psychological analysis of the team.

The technical analysis also gives an edge for the Mets today. Johan Santana will start and this means the bullpen will have some rest today, which is great news for the team. The Mets are 7-1 in Santana's last 8 starts and he has been awesome in the second half of the season, not allowing more than 3 runs in any of his last 10 starts.

On the other side, the Nationals will send Tim Redding, who comes from three outings where he struggled and had an ERA of 4.58. He has already beaten this season his record for most innings in a season and probably that's the reason why he has been struggling lately.

The Mets have a great chance to win today, with their ace in the field. The Nationals are 3-14 in their last 17 home games vs LHP, which is a good sign for the Mets, which comes to this game with their confidence back. I predict another struggle for Redding today, with the Mets being 5-1 in their last 6 games during a Game 4 of a series. I expect an easy win for the Mets today, so I'll take them on the runline in here

dime bet909 STL (+124)Bodog vs 910 CIN
Analysis: Normally, one of my rules in handicapping MLB is to not try to guess when a losing streak of a team is going to end. Today the scenario for the Cardinals is exactly this one: the team is coming from 7 defeats in a row and they are getting too far from the Wildcard, which would give them a place in the postseason. On the other side, the Reds are in a good phase right now, having won 4 games in a row and 7 of their last 9 games. Today that's the spot we find for this game and I think the Cardinals are an excellent dog for tonight and with a great chance to win.

They will send Kyle Lohse, who has been doing a good season with a 13-6 and 3.80 ERA record, even though he had a better first part of the season than the second one. However this game has some special conditions for Lohse, whose last outing was exactly against the Reds and in that game there was an incident, which originated a suspension for Lohse of 5 games. The situation was considered to be unfair, as the Cards manager later told:

"The other guy threw two balls at guys' heads," La Russa said. "I don't know, I'm just shocked."

So, I expect Lohse to have an excellent performance today, having in account this will be a revenge game for him and he comes to this outing with 7 days of rest.

On the other side, the Reds will send Edinson Volquez, who has been doing a tremendous season with 16-5 and 3.22 ERA, however on his last 3 outings, he had very long outings and sooner or later, this will have its consequences. He had 4.82 ERA in those 3 starts and in each game, he threw 117, 119 and 121 pitches, with just 4 days off to rest between games. This very high number of pitches will make him struggle and already on his last outing against the D-Backs, he showed that, as he allowed 6 walks, something not usual for him.

For this game, I expect a good outing for Lohse, which will want to take revenge from what they did to him in the last game, while Volquez is due a letdown, so having in account the price of the Cardinals today, we have an excellent spot that we can't refuse, so take the Cards to win today.

Under 8.5 Yankees and White Sox

Earlier this month these two played 3 games and all 3 went under. Look for a pitchers duel tonight with Mussina for NY and Vasquez for the White Sox, whose last 3 starts his ERA is under 2. The White Sox as a team are hitting right handers at .247 in the last 10 games, and the Yanks hitting only .250 in the same timeframe. Not a whopping average by any stretch. 2 Good Picthers, 2 teams struggling at the plate, in a tightly contested game. NY has went under 6 out of their last 8 games, the Sox are 6-2 on unders with road starts for Vasquez.

Matchup: Minnesota at Tampa Bay
Time: 7:10 PM EDT (Thu)
Listed pitchers must go: (L) PERKINS, G vs. (R) SHIELDS, J

Play: Over (8 -110)
Posted on: September 18, 2008 @ 10:57:47 AM EDT
2* (Top Play) OVER the total in Tampa Bay vs Minnesota @ 7:10ET – Shields vs Perkins – This line has now dropped to an 8 in most books and that means it’s “go time” with this one. Even if the best you can do in this match-up is an 8.5 this is still a fantastic value! We are getting tremendous line value here because this pitching match-up has many people thinking “under” when the reality is that this one has “over” written all “over” it. If the Twins can pound out 14 hits in yesterday’s game when they had to face Cliff Lee of the Indians, do you really think they’re going to have any trouble against James Shields of the Rays? Granted, Shields has some very impressive numbers for the Rays this season, particularly at home. However, he’s facing a Twins team that has given him problems in his career and Minnesota will also certainly be comfortable hitting against Shields at Tropicana Field in Tampa Bay because the Twins are use to hitting indoors since their home games are played at the Metrodome in Minneapolis! Note that the Twins are hitting a stellar .287 on turf this season. Shields has been hammered at a .347 clip in his three career starts against the Twins and that includes getting roughed up in April of this year. Also note that, despite solid overall stats at home this season, Shields has allowed 33 hits in his last 28 innings at Tropicana Field. With the Twins coming off of a 14-hit day at the plate Wednesday they will stay hot here.


Speaking of being hot at the plate, the Rays are on a rock solid run! They’ve averaged over five runs per game in going 5-3 in their last eight games and they won’t slow down versus a struggling Glen Perkins tonight. The Twins southpaw has allowed at least four runs in eight of his last ten starts! He’s been particularly struggling in his last four starts as he’s allowed 19 runs (17 earned) on 32 hits in just 20.2 innings of work. Now he must deal with a red-hot Rays club that is oozing with confidence after taking two of three from the Red Sox. Perkins is 5-1 on the road this season but be careful when evaluating a pitcher based on his record only. The fact is that Perkins has been roughed up on the road this season and that’s why he has a 4.91 ERA and a .305 BAA in his starts away from home. This is the first season that Perkins was ever used as a starter at the MLB level and he appears to be wearing down. Particularly disturbing about this for Twins fans tonight is that the Minnesota bullpen has been struggling badly! The Minnesota relievers are responsible for 10 of the Twins last 16 losses and they were the responsible party again in yesterday’s 6-4 loss. The fact that this total has dropped to an 8 is just “gravy” as this one easily earned my top play rating based on the situational edges noted above. Play OVER the total in Tampa Bay as a Top Play selection

dime bet303 West Virginia -3.0 (-110) BetUS vs 304 Colorado
Analysis:
West Virginia -3 (-110 ) at BetUS

1-Unit



I can see why they slapped a 3 on this game, and I can certainly see why the pub may have Colorado on their radar.



It's been easy for us to take advantage aof a few Big East teams, like we did with Louisville last night, South Florida (push) the other night, and now West Virginia tonight.



The Big 12 is supposedly the POWER conference, and the Big East is full of overrated units, right?



People tend to see overall Conference strength as an indicator to individual team performance. That's a foolish mistake.



Sometimes you just have to look at a matchup in terms of overall team speed, special teams, and sheer talent.



West Virginia is much faster than Colorado.

Speed is a tangible asset in games like this.



My guy in Morgantown is telling me that the Mountaineers are practicing angry, barking out the right kind of reinforcement, and actually behaving like a hungry team. Word out of that camp is that they were woefully overconfidant at the beginning of this season, and the loss to ECU has apparently straightened out the WVU mindset.



I have a feeling that WVU is going to smack Colordao in the mouth, and if they don't turn the ball over, then we will see a comfortable win, tonight.



I'm not sure how they could set a line like 3 on this game, but apparently people were buying on both sides of the wager, so the line held.



That's good for us!





If you're asking me why I'm basing my play on SPEED, SPECIAL TEAMS, and EMOTION, then I'll tell you that this REALLY helps when you're simply better than a team in all three phases of the game.





Time of Possession



The Colorado defense has allowed both of their opponents to control the clock. That's acceptable against the likes of Colorado State (sort of), but there's no excuse for Easter Washington to control the game clock like they did.



This is one of the Killers for Colorado. They have to outscore WVU, and they can't do that if the WVU offense is on the field as long as Eastern Washington was!



Colorado State held the ball for almost 5 minutes longer than Colorado, and Eastern Washington OUT-FIRST DOWNED Colorado (18-17) and shared the time of possession!



That's a sign of a terrible secondary, and a suspect D-Line.





Combine this lack of STOPPING POWER with one of the Nation's best punters, and you can see the possibility of quite a few long fields for the Buffs.



I don't see any indication as to why WVU wont hold the ball as long as Colorado State or Eastern! Am I missing something?



WVU has 20 seniors on that team, and they are NOT going to come out like a bunch of freightened children.



Did you know that they have some kind of chamber that mimics the thin air of Colorado?



Speaking of thin air, and punting.....yeah....the ball travels.



Is Colorado thin on the edges?



They apparently have 4 Freshman and one Senior listed at the defensive end position. This is probably the reason why teams are moving the ball on Colorado. Those Freshman tend to wilt as the game progresses, and they haven't developed the skills needed to beat an experience Offensive Tackle.



I will harp on this for a moment, becuase that STRONG WVU OL is getting severely overlooked tonight! This is a matchup that I think WVU will dominate.



Teams are passing on this Colorado team, and people blame the secondary, but it originates on the edges with that young set of defensive ends.



Those issues will be pronounced tonight!







Punting the ball:



The Colorado punter averaged 31 yards per punt against Colorado State, and he has landed the ball inside the 20 NEVER.



He may be better than that, but the outlook is not good for them, AND THE WVU KICKING GAME IS FAR BETTER! FAR FAR BETTER!



This also makes the HEAVILY DANGEROUS return game for Colorado, a little less potent, becuase WVU's kicker is a speacialist, and he handles the punting duties well. With the thin air in Colorado, this may serve to give us strong punts and a lack of return.



(as long as we don't outkick the coverage.)





Pat McAfee, the WVU kicker and punter is a game changer, and may be able to give us the boost we need to secure the cover.



The big deal here is the kick-off! McAfee has to be extra good, and the ball needs to hit the end zone. The Colorado returner is averaging 50 yards per kickoff return.



Again: the thin air may help us. He can reach the end zone already, so I'm hopeful for containment.





Here's my case:



I think the Colorado ENDS are overrated. This may be the opening that we needed for a massive, and experienced offensive line to exploit.



We must crash into the second level with our interior.



I'm pretty confident that we can do this.



The Colorado rush defense looks good on paper, but they faced bad running teams, and smaller lines. WVU has under performed, and they are on a mission, with a longer break than usual to prepare, and a smaller D-line than the one ECU had.



The key here is GETTING A HAT ON THE LINEBACKERS! Those are the STARS of the Colorado defense. If you blow up the Colorado LB's then that defense will fal apart.



I'm certain the key FUNDAMENTAL battle zone is in the second level tonight. If WVU filters their interior linemen into the second level, then we will take this game by 2 touchdowns.



If not: then it will be a war.





I think we are in great shape!



Good luck!

double-dime bet304 Colorado 3.0 (-110) BetUS vs 303 West Virginia
Analysis: 8:35pm ET / West Virginia Mountaineers @ Colorado Buffaloes
2** Play on: COLORADO

The Mountaineers of West Virginia will get a REAL taste of the mountains tonight, as they must endure the SEVERE altitude adjustment in Boulder, Colorado. And in most cases, we look to play AGAINST a sea-level visiting favorite or very small underdog at a stadium one mile or more above sea level when all factors indicate a close game. It actually takes about 10 days for the body to completely acclimate to altitude, so teams making road trips to the Rocky Mountains simply don't have enough time to fully adjust. They often struggle, especially in the second half of a game. Colorado does have a large altitude edge as they have been in it for TWO months while West Virginia just came in this week after a couple of weeks at home, where the altitude is just under 1000 feet. The Buffaloes have done well in recent seasons with an extended stay at home in the mountains, as they have won their last 6 games SU there when coming off a previous home game, and since 2005 in this spot they are an incredible 5-0 SU (+25 ppg) & 5-0 ATS (+21.8 ppg) including outright upset wins over Texas Tech and Oklahoma.

In fact, BOTH teams come in off an early-season WEEK OF REST.... and the Playbook database tells us to play on the HOME team in certain conditions. This situation had qualifier as recently as last night, with LOUISVILLE being the play against Kansas State.

College Football GAME THREE home teams are 15-3 ATS since 2001 when BOTH teams come in with REST (Colorado / West Virginia). And in non-conference games (like last night and TONIGHT), the results shoot up to a PERFECT 8-0 ATS (after last night's win).

I love how this game sets up!! You have WVU coming off a loss in which they were flat-out dominated by ECU and had their worst offensive performance in over 7 years playing against a Colorado team that needed a pick-6 to get past lowly Eastern Washington!! The public is riding WVU because they think WVU's offensive showing was a fluke and they will rebound big but not so fast!! Like last night's match up between Louisville and K-State Colorado matches up very well with WVU. The Buffs are a young but talented group that is aggressive and physical and not only matches WVU's speed but has a huge size advantage!! This will present problems for WVU once again!! We also catch Colorado in a very rare spot - coming off 11+ days rest and a SU win and playing an opponent who is also coming off 11+ days rest but off a SU loss - and dating back to 1988 this has only happened 9 times and the home team is a PERFECT 9-0 SU/ATS and has won straight up by an average of 21 points/gm and crushed the spread by an average of 18 points/gm!! Only ONCE did the home fail to win by more than double digits!! Certain home teams coming off a non-conference SU win are also a PERFECT 11-0 SU/ATS since 2001 when facing an opponent coming off a non-conference game!! What's impressive is that those teams won SU by an average of 19 points/gm and only once did they fail to win by double digits!! A deeper look also reveals that 3 times the home team was a 3 point dog and when this happened the home team was 3-0 SU winning by an average of 26 points/gm - this is not a typo - 26 points/gm!! I love the match up and I love the deep and hidden angles and don't be surprised if WVU gets dominated tonight on national TV!! COLORADO WINS BIG!!

West Virginia Mountaineers vs. Colorado Buffaloes
The Play: West Virginia Mountaineers -3.0
Star Value: 1* (10 Units)

Welcome back to Week #4 of the 2008 college football season. This week is lining up to be a good one with several good teams digging themselves out of big time holes, and other underdogs popping up everywhere. On Thursday night, a very nice dual is set to take place in Colorado as the Buffalo are set to host the visiting #24 West Virginia Mountaineers. These are two well-above average squads this season. West Virginia comes in off a big time shocker losing to Cinderella Story East Carolina, while Colorado comes in 2-0 on the season and putting up some big time numbers maybe unexpectedly.

To cut to the chase, we'll be on the Mountaineers here tonight. West Virginia has something to prove, and that is that they are MUCH, MUCH better than the show they put on last week in Carolina. The fact behind that is.they really are. WVU is averaging a savvy 304 yards on offense per game along with an eye popping 5.8 yards per carry. Through the air, they are right around five and a half yards per toss, too. The stud himself, Patrick White, is finally healthy and ready to make his case as a big time professional prospect. He has a completion % of 72 on the year and has thrown 6 TD's and just one pick so far.

Colorado on the other hand shouldn't have too many problems keeping up with this offensive attack though. They average just over 350 yards per contest but only 3.4 per rush. Let's not short QB Cody Hawkins in this one at all. Cody is one heck of an athlete and is on the verge of turning that Buffalo program in a better direction. Cody has thrown two picks already this season along with four touchdowns.

This one is panning out to be a shootout and could have big time ramifications in a few short weeks. There is no reason that both of these teams don't combine for over 60 total points, hence making the total an attractive wager. However, the clear edge on such a short number to the home dog begs for action on the public favorite here tonight. Let's jump aboard and enjoy the show here, what do you say? Colorado has looked good to date, and is well improved, but too much experience, depth, speed and consistency will lead Pat White and his followers to a victory Thursday night in Colorado.

TRENDS OF THE GAME:
-West Virginia is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games on grass
-West Virginia is 13-5 in their last 18 road games

West Virginia 37, Colorado 31

(21) West Virginia (1-1, 0-1 ATS) at Colorado (2-0, 1-0 ATS)

West Virginia, which took last weekend off after a stunning upset loss at East Carolina, travels to Folsom Field in Boulder, Colo., for a nationally televised non-conference matchup against the Buffaloes.

West Virginia, then ranked No. 8 and considered a possible national title contender, got steamrolled 24-3 at East Carolina as a 7½-point road chalk on Sept. 6. Star QB Patrick White rushed for 97 yards to pace a ground attack that totaled 179 yards, but he threw for just 72 yards and led just one scoring drive – on a second-quarter field goal. The Mountaineers lost the turnover battle 2-0, were outgained 386-251 and were on the short end of a 36-24 difference in time of possession.

Colorado, which also had last weekend off, barely held off Division I-AA Eastern Washington 31-24 in a non-lined home game on Sept. 6. The Buffs trailed 21-7 at halftime and needed 17 fourth-quarter points to avoid the upset, capped by an interception return for a TD in the final two minutes. QB Cody Hawkins (28 of 38, 261 yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT) was steady, though his lone pick was returned for a TD in the second quarter. Colorado allowed just 47 rushing yards but yielded 303 through the air.

This is the first-ever meeting between these schools.

The loss at East Carolina aside, the Mountaineers have still won 14 of their last 17 games on the highway (11-5-1 ATS) and are on positive pointspread streaks of 9-4-1 as a road favorite, 5-1 after a loss of more than 20 points and 5-1 following a non-cover. The Buffaloes, conversely, are on ATS slides of 3-7 as a home pup and 2-7 after a SU win.

The over for West Virginia is on runs of 4-0 after a SU loss, 5-1 after a bye week and 5-1 in Thursday contests. Also, the total has also gone high in four of Colorado’s last five lined games and is on a 4-0 run following a SU win, though the under is 10-2 in the Buffs’ last 12 non-conference tilts and 4-0 in its last four in September.

ATS ADVANTAGE: OVER


NATIONAL LEAGUE

Milwaukee (84-68) at Chicago Cubs (91-59)

The Brewers, desperately trying to win the N.L. wild-card after having fired manager Ned Yost on Monday, send Dave Bush (9-10, 4.24 ERA) to the hill at Wrigley Field against the first-place Cubs and red-hot Rich Harden (10-2, 2.04 ERA) to close out a three-game set.

Milwaukee snapped a five-game losing skid with Wednesday’s 6-2 win at Wrigley Field, prevailing despite losing No. 2 pitcher Ben Sheets to an injury after two innings. The Brewers, who trail the Mets by one-half game in the wild-card race, still remain in a major freefall, losing 12 of their last 16 contests overall, and they’re also 1-8 in their last nine against winning teams and 4-12 in Bush’s last 16 road starts.

Despite having their five-game winning streak halted last night, the Cubs remain eight games up on the Brewers in the N.L. Central race. Chicago is 51-22 in its last 73 home games and has won five of six against Milwaukee.

The Brewers have lost three straight games started by Bush, after winning five in a row behind the right-hander. On Sunday at Philadelphia, Bush allowed three runs on five hits in six innings of a 7-3 loss.

AMERICAN LEAGUE

Chicago White Sox (84-67) at N.Y. Yankees (81-71)

The White Sox, looking to pad their lead in the A.L. Central, hand the ball to Javier Vazquez (12-13, 4.13 ERA) to wrap up a four-game road series against the Yankees, who will counter with fellow right-hander Mike Mussina (17-9, 3.63).

The teams have alternated wins and losses in the first three games of this series, with New York rallying late for a 5-1 victory on Wednesday. The Yankees sport several positive streaks, including 5-1 against the A.L. Central, 18-8 at home versus winning teams, 8-1 with Mussina facing a club above .500 and 7-1 with Mussina going against A.L. Central squads.

Chicago has been treading water lately with a 4-6 record in its last 10 games. The White Sox also carry a bevy of negative streaks, including 1-8 against right-handers on the road, 6-16 on the highway against winning teams and 3-8 against the A.L. East. In addition, with Vazquez throwing, Chicago is 0-6 in its last six against winning teams and 0-7 in the last seven against the A.L. East.

The Yankees are on a 9-3 tear in the last 12 meetings with the White Sox, 7-2 in the last nine clashes in the Bronx and of 5-0 in Mussina’s last five home starts versus the Pale Hose.

Chicago has won two of Vazquez’s last three starts, including Sunday’s 4-2 home victory over Detroit. In that outing, the 32-year-old threw 7 2/3 innings of three-hit shutout ball, and he’s given up a combined four earned runs over 19 2/3 innings in his last three starts (1.83 ERA).

New York had won seven straight behind Mussina before losing his last two outings. On Saturday against Tampa, he allowed five runs on eight hits in five innings of a 7-1 home defeat, his shortest outing since July 28.

Vazquez is 5-7 with a 4.47 ERA in 15 road starts this year, and he’s 1-4 with an inflated 6.14 ERA in five career starts against New York. Mussina is 10-7 with a 3.70 ERA in 19 starts at the Stadium in 2008, but he’s a mediocre 17-16 with a 4.57 ERA in 38 career starts against the Sox.

The under for Chicago is on runs of 7-1-1 on the highway and 21-6-2 against the A.L. East, and each of Vazquez’s last five starts have stayed low and the under is also 6-2-1 in Vazquez’s last nine road efforts. Meanwhile, for New York, the under has cashed in nine of Mussina’s last 12 home starts and is 8-3 in Moose’s last 11 outings against winning teams.

Virginia Mountaineers -3 at Colorado Buffalos

Both teams have had an off week to prepare for this game, but in their last game the Buffalos beat Eastern Washington 31-24, wile the Mountaineers were upset, losing to East Carolina 24-3. West Virginia looks to get back in the BCS picture after getting upset 2 weeks ago, while Colorado looks to get some respect and some national attention by beating a nationally ranked team and staying undefeated. The Mountaineers are led by QB Pat White (280 yds 5 TD 1 INT), who is also the leading rusher (160 yds). White is helped in the rushing attack by RB Noel Devine (141 yds). White's main targets are Jock Sanders (11 rec 82 yds 2 TD yds) and Alric Arnett (4 rec 70 yds 2 TD). The Buffalos are led by QB Cody Hawkins (475 yds) 4 TD 2 INT). The Buffalos rushing attack is led by the freshman RB duo of Darrell Scott (93 yds 1 TD) and Rodney Stewart (76 yds). Hawkins' main targets are Scotty McKnight (11 rec 157 yds 1 TD) and Patrick Williams (8 rec 82 yds).

Staff Pick: White has to rebound from a horrible performance (72 yards passing) against East Carolina, as that game was the first that WV did not have a TD since the 2001 season. The Buffalos feature a strong D up front, as in their first 2 games they have held their opponents to an average of only 59 yards per game. The Buffalos need to get more production from the running game, as they average only 3.5 yards per carry (90th in the nation). Hawkins has played well for the Buffalos (71.6% completion percentage), but the running game must help him out or the Mountaineers D will blitz often and drop LB's into coverage. This is the first ever meeting between the two schools and WV is 12-10 all time versus Big 12 opponents. Colorado is a young team that has a ton of talent and they can prove they are legit with a win at home on Thursday night. Look for the Buffalos to put up a valiant effort, but Pat White will bounce back and have a big game passing, as the Buffalos secondary is mediocre. The Mountaineers will win a close game and cover the spread, as they begin to climb back up in the rankings.

Mountaineers 31 Colorado 27
