West Virginia vs. Virginia Tech from Landover, MD (Sun. - ABC, 7:30 p.m.)


Unless you're alumni, or from the Appalachia region, this game doesn't have as much meaning. But, ahh, you'll watch because it's football, and, well, it's football. The Mountaineers of the Big 12 head to suburban D.C. looking to shine their star a bit. They haven't fared well against the number in big games in recent times, going 6-15 ATS in their past 21 against ACC foes, 1-4 ATS in their past five non-conference battles and 0-4 ATS in their past four on a neutral field. On the flip side, Virginia Tech is tabbed to contend for the Coastal Division in the ACC, and another 10-win season could easily be within reach. The 'over' has hit in four of the past five for West Virginia on a neutral field, whilegoing 5-1-1 in Virginia Tech's past seven in such situations. Therefore an offensive feast might be on tap. Virginia Tech has hit the over in 13 of their past 16 outside of the ACC, too.

Texas A&M at UCLA (Sun., Sept. 3 - FOX, 7:30 p.m. ET)


In one of the final games of the opening weekend, Texas A&M invades the Rose Bowl to battle UCLA. While a lot of the national media focuses on cross-town rival USC's QB, the Bruins have a good one of their own in Josh Rosen. He is making his way back from a shoulder injury which derailed his season early on. He is healthy, and if the team's offensive line play is better he has a chance to lead this team to big things. The Aggies have promise at QB, but it's uncertain if we'll see Jake Hubenek, Kellen Mond or Nick Starkel - or all three - in the opener. Both teams have struggled in non-conference games lately, with A&M 2-6 ATS in their past eight and UCLA 0-5 ATS in their past five outside of the conferences.

Sunday's Tip Sheet
By Brian Edwards (http://www.vegasinsider.com/handicappers/bios.cfm/hc/2/brian-edwards)
VegasInsider




**Virginia Tech vs. West Virginia**

-- These former Big East rivals will square of in Landover, MD, where the Redskins call home in NFL action. FedEx Field is located 214 miles away from Morgantown and 285 miles from Blacksburg. These schools haven’t met since 2005. Virginia Tech has a 9-3 record in this rivalry.

-- As of Saturday afternoon, most betting shops had Virginia Tech installed as a four or 4.5-point favorite with a total of 51.5. The Mountaineers were available on the money line for a +175 return (risk $100 to win $175).

-- Virginia Tech went to the ACC Championship Game in its first season under Justin Fuente, coming up on the short end of a 42-35 decision against eventual national champ, Clemson. The Hokies took the cash as 10.5-point underdogs, however. Also, they overcame a 24-0 halftime deficit to rally past Arkansas for a 35-24 win as seven-point ‘chalk’ at the Belk Bowl.

-- Fuente’s first team finished 10-4 straight up and 8-6 against the spread. The negative was losing twice as a double-digit favorite at Syracuse (31-17) and vs. Ga. Tech (30-20) but after four consecutive seasons of winning eight games or fewer, the vibe out of Blacksburg was all positive going into the offseason.

-- Virginia Tech returns five starters on offense and seven on defense. Josh Jackson, a redshirt freshman, has won the starting QB job and will replace Jerod Evans. Jackson will rely heavily on senior wide receiver Cam Phillips, who had 76 receptions for 983 yards and five touchdowns last year. Junior Travon McMillian will get the bulk of the carries after rushing for 671 yards and seven TDs in 2016. McMillian averaged 4.6 yards per carry.

-- Virginia Tech has one of the top defensive coordinators in all of college football in Bud Foster. His unit gave up 22.8 points per game last season. This group has 11 of its top 14 tacklers back, including junior outside linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, who was a third-team All-American selection in ’16. Edmunds produced 106 tackles, 14.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, nine QB hurries, three passes broken up, one forced fumble and one interception. Senior MLB Andrew Motuapuaka recorded 114 tackles, 3.5 TFL’s, two sacks, five QB hurries, four passes broken and three interceptions.

--West Virginia is off its best season since joining the Big 12 in 2012. Dana Holgorsen’s squad went 10-3 SU and 5-8 ATS, but it lost a 31-14 decision to Miami as a 2.5-point underdog at the Russell Athletic Bowl. Holgorsen has taken WVU to five bowl games in six years, going 2-3 in those postseason appearances. This was Holgorsen’s second year with a double-digit win total (10-3 in ’11), but the Mountaineers hadn’t won more than eight games in their first four years of Big 12 play. Holgorsen is now 46-31 at WVU, going 4-4 in eight neutral-site games with a 2-6 spread record.

-- This game will mark the return of former Florida QB Will Grier, who led the Gators out to a 6-0 start in ’15 before being issued a one-year suspension for testing positive for a banned substance. After the end of the season, Grier decided to transfer to WVU and had to sit out ’16 per transfer rules. He has two years of eligibility remaining. As a redshirt freshman ’15 with UF, Grier completed 65.8 percent of his passes for 1,204 yards with a 10/3 touchdown-to-interception ratio. He also rushed for 116 yards and two scores.

-- WVU brings back only eight of 22 starters, five on offense and merely three on defense. Senior RB Justin Crawford returns after rushing for 1,184 yards and four TDs with a 7.3 YPC average. Sophomore Kennedy McKoy started a pair of games at RB as a true freshman, producing 472 rushing yards and four TDs while averaging 6.5 YPC.

-- WVU lost its top two pass catchers, but senior Ka’Raun White appears poised to have a breakout year. White had 48 catches for 583 yards and five TDs last season. Junior Jovon Durante had 35 catches for 331 yards and two TDs, but he elected to transfer Florida Atlantic a few weeks ago. Marcus Simms, a sophomore WR who had six catches for 95 yards and one TD in 10 games as a freshman, is currently suspended.

-- WVU lost four of its top five tacklers from the best defense of Holgorsen’s tenure. That unit allowed 24.0 PPG. One of the three returning starters is out indefinitely with a knee injury. That would be sophomore LB David Long, who recorded 65 tackles, two sacks, 2.5 TFL’s and two QB hurries last season. WVU’s defensive leader is senior LB Al-Rasheed Benton, who had 80 tackles, three QB hurries, one TFL and one interception in ’16. Senior LB Kyzir White had 58 tackles, three sacks, four TFL’s, five PBU and one QB hurry.

-- ABC will have the telecast at 7:30 p.m. Eastern.



**Texas A&M at UCLA**

-- As of Saturday afternoon, most spots had UCLA listed as a four-point favorite with a total of 57. The Aggies were +160 on the money line.

-- When these teams met in College Station in last season’s opener, UCLA trailed 24-9 with less than five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. But the Bruins scored on back-to-back drives and after Josh Rosen threw a 62-yard TD pass to Kenneth Walker, his two-point conversion pass to Austin Roberts knotted the score. In overtime, Texas A&M got a one-yard TD run from Trevor Knight and then got a stop to capture a 31-24 win. The Aggies covered the number as four-point home favorites, while ‘under’ backers took a tough-luck push when the 55 combined points hit right on the total.

-- Rosen threw for 343 yards and one TD in the losing effort at A&M, but he was intercepted three times. UCLA had a 468-442 advantage in total offense. RB Soso Jamabo rushed for a team-high 91 yards on 23 carries. For the Aggies, Trayveon Williams ran for 94 yards on 15 totes, while Christian Kirk had 107 all-purpose yards on 11 touches.

-- This is a crucial season for Texas A&M sixth-year head coach Kevin Sumlin, who has seen his last three teams get off to hot starts only to collapse down the stretch. The end result has been three straight 8-5 campaigns after his tenure started with an 11-2 record in ’12 and a 9-4 ledger in ’13. Sumlin owns a 44-21 record at A&M and a 79-38 career record that includes his time at Houston.

-- Texas A&M won its first six games last season and had a 14-13 lead in the third quarter at top-ranked Alabama. However, the Crimson Tide scored 20 unanswered points en route to a 33-14 victory. The Aggies would lose five of their last seven contests, including their last four SEC games. They lost at Mississippi St. and vs. Ole Miss (against a starting QB taking his first-ever collegiate snaps) as double-digit favorites. Also, A&M dropped a 33-28 decision to Kansas St. at the Texas Bowl.

-- Texas A&M returns five starters on offense and seven on defense. Williams enjoyed a banner freshman campaign, rushing for a team-best 1,057 yards and eight TDs while averaging 6.8 YPC. Keith Ford also ran for 669 yards and six TDs, averaging 5.3 YPC, so the Aggies are set in the backfield with a pair of quality players. They lost three excellent WRs in Josh Reynolds, Speedy Noil and Ricky Seals-Jones. However, Christian Kirk is back after garnering first-team All-American honors for his special-teams play. Kirk had 83 catches for 928 yards and nine TDs and also scored three times on punt returns.

-- Texas A&M lost its top two tacklers and the No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft in Myles Garrett. Nevertheless, John Chavis’s unit will be a solid group in ’17. Senior DBs Armani Watts and Donovan Wilson are All-SEC candidates. Wilson tallied 59 tackles, 4.5 TFL’s, two QB hurries, two PBU, one interception and one sack in ’16, while Watts produced 56 tackles, one sack, five TFL’s, three PBU, two interceptions and one QB hurry.

-- Sumlin has named redshirt freshman Nick Starkel as his starting QB. He’ll be making his first career start on the road, which is typically a difficult task.

-- Texas A&M senior starting cornerback Nick Harvey is out indefinitely with a knee injury. Harvey recorded f66 tackles, one interception and 10 PBU last season.

-- UCLA won at least eight games in each of Jim Mora Jr.’s first four seasons, but it limped to a 4-8 record last year after losing Rosen to a season-ending shoulder injury. Before going down in the sixth game, Rosen completed 59.3 percent of his throws with a 10/5 TD-INT ratio. He also had a pair of rushing TDs. As a true freshman in ’15, Rosen started all 13 games and connected on 60.0 percent of his passes for 3,668 yards with a 23/11 TD-INT ratio.

-- UCLA lost four one-possession games last season. The Bruins won at BYU and at home over UNLV, Arizona and Oregon St. They bring back nine starters on offense and six on defense.

-- UCLA returns its top-five rushers and its top two WRs, but the ground game was a joke last season. Jamabo rushed for a team-high 321 yards and three TDs, but he averaged just 3.9 YPC. In fact, the Bruins top three rushers each averaged 3.9 YPC or fewer. WR Darren Andrews is off a 55-catch campaign that netted 709 receiving yards and four TD grabs. Jordan Lasley had 41 receptions for 620 yards and five TDs.

-- UCLA’s defense allowed 27.5 PPG in ’16. This unit will be led by senior LB Kenny Young, a second-team All Pac-12 pick last year when he had 90 tackles, five sacks, 3.5 TFL’s, two PBU and one interception.

-- UCLA owns an 11-13 spread record in 24 games as a ,home favorite on Mora’s watch. The Bruins are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 such spots.

-- Texas A&M has compiled a 4-7 spread record as a road underdog during Sumlin’s tenure.

-- Kickoff on FOX is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Eastern.

ENCUMBERED - On July 30th this colt shipped in to take the top prize and looks good right back. This animal has recorded the best recent turf Equibase speed fig at the distance and surface. This horse may have too much power on the turf for the rest of the field. Moving down the stretch, he could put these away. BOMBARDEO - This mount could be tough today, especially since Pedroza rode in the last race and now should be better acquainted with this one. This jock/handler duo has been producing a very lucrative ROI, right at +190. This colt is utmost in earnings per race. Check out this thoroughbred in the paddock. The recent fig of 91 is the top last race speed rating in the field. MY BOY JACK - This colt has the top turf figure in his last race. It doesn't take a college grad like The Brain to figure this here horse has a good chance. RESPECT THE HUSTLE - Rode this horse on Aug 12th and Baze is right back in the irons this race. Colt shipped to this track and won; now goes for a double. Came home in quick time last race out. A positive sign.

BIG BUZZ - The speed fig last time around the track doesn't fit very well in this race when I look at the class rating of today's contest. Mark this horse as a likely underlay.

Top HatGUEST COMMENTARY: Winston - BOMBARDEO - This is a great longshot angle. Play the top-rated TrackMaster power-rated horse if he has a morning line of at least 5-1.

THISISMYSTORY is my choice. He has been running soundly and the Equibase Speed Figures are among the most competitive in this group of horses in this race. Has ran well in dirt sprint races. Looks competitive against this group and ought to be one of the early speedsters. JONATHAN'S STAR - Ought to come out sharp - I have liked the way this gelding has moved sharply to the lead recently. Earned a sound Equibase speed fig in the most recent race. Can run another good one in this affair. SECRET WAY - Seems to have a strong class edge based on the recent company kept.

The Prioress was named after the first American-bred and owned thoroughbred to win in England. A daughter of Sovereign, out of the Glencoe mare Reel, Prioress was descended from the Darley Arabian line and was foaled in South Carolina in 1853. The bay filly was purchased and taken to England in 1856 by Richard Ten Broeck; there she won the Great Yorkshire Stakes and the Cesare Witch Handicap in 1858, taking the latter in a runoff after finishing in a triple dead heat. First run at Jamaica in 1948, the Prioress moved to Aqueduct Racetrack in 1959, and then to Saratoga in 1987. Here in the 70th running of this stakes test, #2 SISTER KAN, a 12-1 BOMB, has hit the board in each of her last five outings, winning four times, including back-to-back-to-back "POWER RUN WINS" in her last three starts. #1 STUDENT BODY, a 6-1 shot, qualifies as a TrackMaster PLUS "PowerPony," is the overall speed and pace profile leader, and comes off an impressive 11-length, "POWER RUN WIN" in her last start, which the 2nd win in her 3 race career to date.

CANMORE - This gelding is in fine physical condition, having run a nice race on Aug 11th, finishing second. Horses out of the barn of De Paulo have been great on the turf.

CFL Betting Recap - Week 10

League Betting Notes

-- Favorites went 3-1 SU in Week 10
-- Favorites went 3-1 ATS in Week 10
-- Home/road teams posted a 2-2 SU record in Week 10
-- Home/road teams posted a 2-2 ATS record in Week 10
-- The 'over' went 2-1-1 in Week 9

Analysis

Favorites went 3-1 both straight up and against the spread in Week 10 and the 'chalk' is now 7-1 both SU and ATS over the last two weeks. In the three non-divisional games, the West posted a 2-1 record over the East.

The scoreboard operator was working hard this week as the 'over' went 2-1-1 in Week 10 with five of eight teams scoring 30-plus points, and Saskatchewan lit it up with 54 points.

Team Betting Notes

-- Calgary (7-1-1) took over first place of the West Division on Saturday as it stifled Toronto 23-7 as a 10-point home favorite, improving to 4-0 at home this season. The Stampeders have won and covered five straight games and four of those decisions came by double digits. They've only allowed 169 points this season and that's the best scoring defense in the league.

-- Winnipeg (7-2) extended its winning streak to five games in Week 10 with a 34-31 road win over Montreal. The team is 4-1 ATS during this span and 7-2 overall versus the number, which is the best mark in the CFL. Including last week's win, the Blue Bombers are 3-1 this season with games decided by three points or less. The 'over' is 7-1.

-- After winning its first seven games of the season, Edmonton (7-2) suffered its second straight setback in Week 10 and the defense has contributed to the defeats. The unit was helpless in a 54-31 loss at Saskatchewan on Friday and helped the 'over' stay hot with a 5-1 run in the last six contests. This was the first home loss of the season for Edmonton.

-- British Columbia (5-5) is another team struggling in the West Divison, losers in three straight and four of their last five games. On Saturday, the club dropped a 31-24 road decision at Ottawa. The offense has been held to 49 points over the last three losses after averaging 31.4 points per game in their first seven games. The 'under' is on a 3-0-1 streak.

-- The week off helped Saskatchewan (4-4), who put up a season-high 54 points in its victory over Edmonton. The Roughriders cashed as road underdogs (+5.5) over the Lions and that victory was the first away win of the season for them. The club is 5-3 ATS overall.

-- Ottawa (3-6-1) showed some first for the second straight week as it defeated BC 31-24 as a short home favorite (-1). Despite putting up more than 30 points for the second straight week, total bettors saw the outcome push once again as it landed on the closing number of 55.

-- Defense continues to be a major issue for Montreal (3-6) lately and it showed on Thursday as the Alouettes lost a 34-31 home decision to Winnipeg. The team has allowed over 30 points in three of its last four games, which has led to a 1-3 record. Despite the loss, they only trail Toronto by one game in the East Division.

-- The Argonauts (4-6) haven't won back-to-back games all season and that trend continued on Saturday as the team was trounced 23-7 at Calgary. The Argos have gone 1-4 on the road this season and the 'under' is 3-2 in those games.

-- Hamilton (0-8) didn't win or lose in Week 10 as the club was on bye. The T-Cats will be returning on Sept. 4 versus Toronto.

Sunday's NCAAF Game of the Day: West Virginia vs. Virginia Tech

West Virginia Mountaineers vs. Virginia Tech Hokies (-4, 51.5)

No. 20 West Virginia and 22nd-ranked Virginia Tech each will break in a talented new quarterback when they renew their rivalry by meeting for the first time in 12 years in the season opener on Sunday at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland. Will Grier, who went 6-0 at Florida in 2015 before testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs and being suspended, gets the call for West Virginia and redshirt freshman Josh Jackson starts for the Hokies.

Mountaineers coach Dana Holgorsen told ESPN.com that his job will be to keep the eager Grier calm and relaxed while he lets the game come to him, saying "He’s not going to be able to make up for a year and a half in one game.” Grier won’t have to do it all himself as West Virginia boasts a deep group of running backs that is led by Justin Crawford, who is the leading rusher among those returning in the Big 12 (1,184 yards). Virginia Tech coach Justin Fuente told reporters Jackson has been incredibly consistent and has a great demeanor as he starts his first game in place of Jerod Evans, who left early for the NFL. “I’m very comfortable with the offense,” Jackson, a dual-threat signal-caller from Ann Arbor, Mich. told reporters. “I don’t think we’re going to dial anything back.”

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, ABC.

LINE HISTORY: Oddsmakers opened the Hokies as 4-point favorites and that line quickly grew as high as 5, before fading back to the opening number. The total hit the betting board at 55.5 and has been bet down 4.5-points to an even 51.

WEATHER REPORT: Weather conditions should be perfect for football with sunny skies and temperatures in the mid-70’s at kickoff.

INJURY REPORT:

West Virginia - QB Will Grier (Probable, Suspension), S Dravon Askew-Henry (Probable, Knee), WR Marcus Simms (Eligibility, Suspension), LS David Long Jr. (Early October, Knee)

Virginia Tech - CB Brandon Facyson (Probable, Wrist), WR Caleb Farley (Out For Season, Knee)

WEST VIRGINIA (2016: 10-3 SU, 5-8 ATS, 5-8 O/U): Holgorsen told reporters he likes where his team is, and the seventh-year coach must be especially pleased with the Mountaineers’ depth at running back as sophomores Kennedy McKoy and Martell Pettaway also will play big roles. Grier, who averaged 277 yards through the air in beating Tennessee and Ole Miss back-to-back two years ago, has a strong top target in senior receiver Ka’Raun White (48 catches, 583 yards last year). Senior linebacker Al-Rasheed Benton (80 tackles in 2016) leads the defense along with defensive backs Dravon Askew-Henry and senior Kyzir White.

VIRGINIA TECH (2016: 10-4 SU, 8-6 ATS, 8-6 O/U): The Hokies hope to give Jackson time to develop with strong work from a defense that is led by linebackers Andrew Motuapuaka (senior) and Tremaine Edmunds (junior), who combined for 220 tackles last year, and a solid secondary paced by junior Adonis Alexander. Jackson’s most-experienced target is senior Cam Phillips, who has recorded 165 receptions for 2,063 yards and 10 touchdowns in his career, and senior guard Wyatt Teller anchors the line. Travon McMillian has accumulated 1,713 rushing yards over the last two years and could be pushed by fellow junior Steven Peoples and sophomore Deshawn McClease.

TRENDS (Dating back to last season):

* Mountaineers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 neutral site games.

* Hokies are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall.

* Over is 4-1 in Mountaineers last 5 neutral site games.

* Over is 5-1-1 in Hokies last 7 neutral site games.

* Over is 13-3 in Hokies last 16 non-conference games.

* Mountaineers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 meetings in Virginia Tech.

CONSENSUS: The underdog Mountaineers are getting 61 percent of the money line action from users and the Over is picking up 69 percent of the totals wagers.

MLB Daily Line Drive: Sunday's picks, betting odds and analysis


Double-Play Picks

Kansas City Royals at Minnesota Twins (-140, 9.5)

Let's hope the Minnesota Twins didn't blow their entire wad Saturday when they properly honored the first Saturday of college football season by putting up a football number, in a 17-0 victory against the visiting Royals.

The struggling Royals will run Ian Kennedy out to the mound on Sunday afternoon and he has been horrible for most of the season, but especially over his last six starts. An ERA of 9.57 and a WHIP of 2.013 is not what the Royals are looking for to avoid another two touchdown effort from the Twins today.

Veteran right-hander Ervin Santana will get the ball for the Twinkies and, despite a rough first half of the season, he has been throwing great over the last month. The Twins have won five of his last six starts and in those six outings he owns an ERA of 2.95 to go along with a WHIP of 1.109.

The Twins have won eight of their last nine home games and are averaging 8.44 runs per game during that span. It might be a tough task for Mr. Kennedy to hold down the young Twinkies today.

Pick: Twins -140

Atlanta Braves at Chicago Cubs (-235, 9.5)

The Cubs will look to complete a four-game sweep of the visiting Atlanta Braves today at Wrigley Field.

There are quite a few red hot, playoff bound teams across Major League Baseball at the moment, and the defending World Champions are right there alongside any of them. The Cubs have now won six games in a row and a very impressive nine in a row at home.

Not only have they been winning, but they been winning convincingly. During their current nine-game home winning streak they are averaging 7.33 runs per game as a team, and over their last six games (all wins) they have covered -1.5 each time - even though they tried their best to give away the runline in Saturday's messy 14-12 win.

Mike Montgomery will get the balls for the Cubs today. "Monty" may not be the most exciting pitching option on the board, but he has been sensational as a spot-starter for the Cubs this season. In Montgomery's last three starts, the Cubs are 3-0 and he owns an ERA of 0.95 to go along with a WHIP of .074.

Lefty prospect Max Fried will make his first major league start for the Braves and they aren't exactly giving him a cookie for his first opponent. Fried has made four relief appearances this season with mixed results. In only 6.2 innings of work at the big league level his ERA is 5.40 with a 1.94 WHIP and a .424 opponent's on base percentage.

The kid does throw a lot of ground balls, which is a good trait when pitching at Wrigley Field for the first time, but the Cubs hitters love pounding lefties with a batting average 20 points higher and an average of 5.56 runs per nine innings versus left-handed pitching this season.

Pick: Cubs -1.5 (-115)

Yesterday's Picks: 2-0
Season To Date: 133-121-13


Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Alex Wood, Los Angeles Dodgers (14-1, 2.41 ERA, $993)

What more can we say about lefty Alex Wood's 2017 season that hasn't already been said?

A team win/loss record of 18-4, and ERA of 2.41, a WHIP of 1.01, an opponent's on base percentage of .261, and only 30 walks allowed in 22 total starts.

Wood and the Dodgers are -235 favorites on the road in San Diego today against Jhoulys Chacin and the Padres.

Slumping: Chris Tillman, Baltimore Orioles (1-7, 7.91 ERA, $-497)

Chris Tillman has had a terrible season for the Orioles, but his last four starts have produced some of the worst numbers we've seen over a four game span in quite some time (Bartolo...we're looking at you).

Although split by a pair of bullpen appearances, Tillman's last four starting assignments have produced an 0-2 win/loss record, a 12.18 ERA, and a WHIP of 2.117. Over his last two starts he has handed out 10 walks and has allowed four home runs in only 10.2 innings of work.

Tillman and the Orioles are -135 favorites at home against Brett Anderson and the Jays this afternoon.

Sunday's Top Trends

* The Cleveland Indians have won 10 in a row & are 14-2 in their last 16 road games. -200 today at Tigers.
* The Houston Astros are 12-3 in their last 15 vs. National League East. -250 today vs. Mets.
* The Colorado Rockies are 9-0 in German Marquez's last nine home starts. -115 today vs. D-Backs.
* Under is 7-0 in Chris Sale's last seven starts vs. American League East. Red Sox/Yankees Total: 7.

Weather To Keep An Eye On

Somewhat surprisingly, the only precipitation to worry about in the MLB forecast today is in San Diego where there is a 35 percent chance of rain this afternoon.

There are three games today that will feature double-digit hitter's winds:

Indians at Tigers (total: 9.5) - 12-14 mile per hour wind blowing out to left field.
Reds at Pirates (total: 9) - 12-14 mile per hour wind blowing out to left-center field.
Dodgers at Padres (total: 8) - 10-13 mile per hour wind blowing out to right-center field.

Ump Of The Day

Lance Barksdale is one of baseball's top homer umpires and he will be calling balls and strikes today in Miami where the Marlins will take on the Phillies. Home teams are 18-8 in Barksdale's 26 games behind the dish this season and a $100 wager on the hosts in each of those contests would net a $909 profit.

The host Marlins are -195 favorites today.

TOMMY BRUNSON

Luis Severino has seen each of his last 5 starts ALL play Over the total. He has kept his ERA at a very slender 1.83 over his last 3 however, and since he is looking for some redemption against a Boston team that raked him for 10 runs - 8 of them earned - in just over 4 innings of work at home back on August 12th, I will look for Sevy to be on top of his game this Sunday night when he works against Boston ace Chris Sale.

The Yankees have only scored 8 runs - 7 earned - in Sale's 29-plus innings of work against them over 4 starts, but somehow Sale is 0-2 in those 4 starts! The southpaw has seen 17 of 27 season starts this year land Under, including 5 of his last 6, so let's not expect too many runs allowed by Sale here on Sunday night.

With Saturday's Under, these teams have now play 5 straight and 8 of their last 11 games this season Under the total.

Nothing to change here. Red Sox-Yankees Under.

2* BOSTON-N.Y. YANKEES UNDER

[New York Knight]

JEFF BENTON



The last time Luis Severino started against Boston was back on August the 12th, and the Red Sox hung a very ugly pitching line - 4.1 innings pitched, 8 hits, 10 runs - 8 of them earned - on the Yankees All-Star. That is Severino's worst start of the year by far, and I am counting on the competitive juices of Sevy to be flowing when he opposes Boston starter Chris Sale.

Sale has established himself as a possible Cy Young Award candidate, and he does bring a 15-6 mark this season into the final regular season game to be played between the Red Sox and the Yankees this season. The problem is, Sale is 0-2 this season in 4 starts against New York, as the Yankees seem to find a way to be the lanky lefty when he hits the mound against them.

New York has won 2 of the first 3 this holiday weekend, and they hold a slight 9-8 season series advantage over Boston for the 2017 campaign.

The Yankees still trail in the division by 4 1/2 games, but they do hold a very slim lead in the A.L. Wild Card standings over a slew of other contenders. Big, big game for both New York and Severino. Much bigger for the Yanks then the Red Sox standings-wise.

I will side with New York as the small home dog in this primetime finale.

OVER 52

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach Free Pick NCAAF Sunday OVER the total in Virginia Tech Hockies vs West Virginia Mountaineers @ 7:30 ET (game played @ FedEx Field in Washington, DC)

The over is 26-16 Mountaineers games where they are an underdog in a range of 3.5 to 10 points. The over is also 15-9 in West Virginia's games played on a neutral field. The past two seasons, the Mountaineers have played 5 games on grass and the over has cashed in at an 80% clip. The Hokies are on an 8-2 run to the over in non-conference games. Also Virginia Tech has gone 7-1 to the over in September games. In neutral field action, the over has cashed at a 75% clip in Hokies games the past two seasons. The Mountaineers have the stronger offense so they'll enjoy some success versus the Hokies. However, Virginia Tech's offense is also likely to enjoy success against a West Virginia defense that returns only 3 starters. The result should be plenty of points in this one! Free Pick on OVER the total in Virginia Tech vs West Virginia on Sunday evening. Best of luck, Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach

Red Sox vs. Yankees

UNDER 7


This play just missed out on our premium card. The Yankees and the Red Sox face off on Sunday night baseball, and with two aces on the mound, the under has all the value in this one.

On the mound for the Red Sox is Chris Sale who has had a couple of hiccups as of late, but got back on the right track in his last start.

He went seven innings against the Blue Jays and only gave up three hits and zero runs.

On the mound for the Yankees is Luis Severino who has also been really good. In seven of his last nine starts he gave up one run or less.
I would expect a similar performance out of him in this one.

Some trends to note. Under is 8-0 in Red Sox last 8 Sunday games. Under is 5-0 in Yankees last 5 vs. American League East.

Back the Under.

Virginia Tech -4

I like Virginia Tech in this one. The Hokies have a somewhat of a home-field advantage with this game in Landover, and I think that will come in to play in this one. This Tech team remembers what it was like to get blown out of their big nonconference game last year against Tennessee. They won't let that happen again here. The Hokies have an outstanding veteran defense, and I think that turnovers and special teams advantages will help them get this win. West Virginia has just eight returning starters from last year's 10-win team. They have a lot of work to do on both offense and defense, and they are breaking in a new quarterback that sat out last season after transferring. West Virginia is just 1-12 SU in its last 13 games against teams ranked in the Top 25. I like the Hokies to get the job done.

Red Sox at Yankees



The New York Yankees need a series win this weekend not only to stay in the race in the American League East, but also to maintain their stranglehold on the top AL wild card spot. All the Yankees need to do is beat Chris Sale when they host the Boston Red Sox in the finale of a four-game series on Sunday.

New York cut its deficit to 4 1/2 games in the East with a 5-1 win on Saturday and got a big boost from slugger Matt Holliday, who came off the disabled list on Friday after sitting out a month with a back injury. The veteran slugged a three-run homer in Saturday's win and could provide the Yankees lineup with some of the thump it's been missing from Aaron Judge, who went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts on Saturday and is homerless in his last 15 games. The Red Sox are guaranteed to leave New York no worse than 3 1/2 games up in the East but would like to make it more before heading back to Boston for a nine-game homestand beginning Monday. The Yankees will send their best to the mound in Sunday's finale as Luis Severino gets the call against Sale.


TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN


PITCHING MATCHUP: Red Sox LH Chris Sale (15-6, 2.77 ERA) vs. Yankees RH Luis Severino (11-6, 3.14)

Sale ended a three-start winless streak with a dominating effort at Toronto on Tuesday, when he struck out 11 without walking a batter and scattered three hits over seven scoreless innings. The Cy Young front runner leads the majors with 264 strikeouts and is 10 away from matching his career high, set with the Chicago White Sox in 2015. Sale owns a 2.12 ERA and 44 strikeouts in 29 2/3 innings against New York this season but is just 0-2 in four outings due to poor run support.

Severino is fourth in the AL with 192 strikeouts and punched out nine over 6 2/3 innings against Cleveland on Monday but could not come away with a win. The Dominican Republic native was charged with four runs -- three earned -- on four hits and three walks in that outing after surrendering a total of one earned run in his previous two turns. Severino's worst start of the season came at home against Boston on Aug. 12, when he was ripped for 10 runs -- eight earned -- over 4 1/3 frames.

WALK-OFFS

1. Red Sox CF Jackie Bradley Jr. (thumb) came off the DL on Saturday and went 1-for-3.

2. Yankees OF Aaron Hicks (oblique tightness) left Saturday's game and is day-to-day.

3. Boston SS Xander Bogaerts, who is 2-for-23 with 10 strikeouts in his last six games, has been out of the starting lineup the last two contests.
