SCOTT SPREITZER 10-0, 100% CFL RUN! WESTERN CONF. GAME OF THE YEAR & MLB TKO SHOCKER!
(917) LA Dodgers vs (918) COL Rockies
Game Starts at July 28 2007 17:05 EST
Take (917) LA Dodgers
The Dodgers are 10-3 against lefthanders on the road while averaging 5.2 runs per game. Brett Tomko allowed no earned runs in six innings against the Mets in his last appearance and he's pitched six shutout innings vs the Rockies this season. Colorado's Jeff Francis has been pounded for 11 runs and 22 hits in 11 innings his last two home games and overall in his last three appearances Francis has a 6.50 ERA allowing 13 runs in 18 innings. Take the Dodgers on Saturday for the TKO Underdog Shocker.
(455) Edmonton vs (456) Saskatchewan
Game Starts at July 28 2007 12:30 EST
Take (456) Saskatchewan
Last week Saskatchewan blew a 20-1 halftime lead in Edmonton. The Eskimos took advantage of Roughrider complacency and completely shocked them with numerous dump-offs, screens, and underneath routes. But as good as QB Ricky Ray has been, the team will not have the element of surprise this week. And the Eskimos are one-dimensional. The running game (77 RYPG) is the second worst in the league. Today, they'll face the league's best total defense, and one that will not fall asleep after building a lead two weeks in a row. But it wasn't just an unusual offensive approach that brought Edmonton back last week. After the intermission, they switched from a three-man defensive front to a five-man. They also went from man coverage to zone. It was a drastic change on both sides of the line. Those types of wins are flukey and I expect the better team to not only win, but to do so in a big way today. That better team is Saskatchewan. The Roughriders are in the over-hyped revenge spot, but this is all about the much better team, re-focused after blowing a big lead, laying what I feel is too low of a price. Saskatchewan is my Western Conference GOY. Thanks! GL! Scott.

(931) BOS Red Sox vs (932) TAM Devil Rays
Game Starts at July 28 2007 16:10 EST
Take (931) BOS Red Sox
Jon Lester had an impressive performance in his first major league start after recovering from cancer. The lefthander held the heavy-hitting Indians to two runs in six innings while striking out six batters. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay's James Shields was annihilated for 10 runs and 10 hits in only 3 1/3 innings in his last start against the Yankees and the Devil Rays have lost six of his last eight starts. Also, Shields has a 6.82 ERA in the month of July. This is a bargain price for first-place Boston so go with the Red Sox to get the win on Saturday as my 5* Value Hammer.

Big Al's 5* Major League Baseball GAME OF THE YEAR
At 7:05 pm, our 5* Major League Baseball Game of the Year is on the Minnesota Twins with Johan Santana over Cleveland and Jake Westbrook. It's not often that one can wager on Santana -- perhaps baseball's best pitcher -- at odds less than 3:2. But that is the situation that presents itself today, largely because Minnesota has lost five straight games, as well as being 0-6 this season vs. tonight's opponent, the Indians. But the numbers overwhelmingly favor Santana in this matchup. He's an astonishing 41-6 in his 2nd half starts since 2003, and the Twins are a super 78-26 his last 104 night games. Westbrook has struggled through injuries this season, compiling a 1-6 record, with a 6.20 ERA and a 1.60 WHIP. Santana, of course, has been brilliant, and perhaps the most amazing of his stats this year is that he's given up 5 hits or less in 10 of his last 13 starts. Cleveland has not performed well this season vs. southpaw starters, going just 18-15 (compared to 42-28 vs. righties), while batting .258 and scoring 4.9 runs (compared to .275 and 5.6 runs vs. righty starters). Take MINNESOTA. Good luck, as always, Al McMordie
