Houston Astros vs. Milwaukee Brewers
Play On: Houston w/Oswalt
Note: Astros send ace right hander Roy Oswalt to the mound in Milwaukee knowing he is 18-2 in his last 20 team starts in September. Houston is also 12-4 away behind him this season. With Big Ben Sheets making his 2nd start off the disabled list (a bad role for most pitchers), we'll back the big 'O' and the Astros today.
Big Al McMordie
Kansas City Royals vs. Texas Rangers
At 8:05pm our selection is on the Kansas City Royals and the Texas Rangers 'under' the total. After a very disappointing first month of the season as a starter, Kansas City, in the early May, moved righthander Zack Greinke to the bullpen where he pitched virtually all of May, June, July, and August until finally getting back into the rotation on August 24. After looking like an ordinary reliever during most of that time, the talented Greinke caught fire in early August and has kept it going through his two starts on the 24th and 29th. The Royals knew that Greinke wouldn't be ready to go deep into the games, so they limited him to three innings and 48 pitches in his first start back, and four innings and 71 pitches in his second and this strategy seems to be working brilliantly as Greinke has not given up a single run in his two return outings. In fact, you have to go all the way back to August 4, almost a month, to find the last time Greinke has given up a run, a streak covering seven appearances as a reliever and his two return starts. Look for him to get more work and probably go at least six innings tonight against the Rangers, who will send Kameron Loe to the mound. Take the Royals and Rangers 'under' the total. As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

The Blue Jays have won 5 of their last 6 games. Toronto is 13-5 in their last 18 games vs. team's with winning records. In their last 7 games to starts a series the Jays are 6-1. Toronto is 4-1 in Litsch's last 5 road starts. Boston has dropped 4 of their last 6 games. In their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning record the Red Sox are 0-4. In Matsuzaka's last 6 starts as a favorite the Red Sox are 1-5. Boston has lost his last 4 starts overall. The Jays have won 6 of the last 8 meetings in Boston.
Play on: Toronto
Ron Raymond CFL
Toronto -1.5 vs. Hamilton
Pick: None yet (but by the score it would be Toronto)
Ron’s Comment: When you’ve covered 62.5% of your ATS numbers in 8 games and have a 25% winning percentage, it means you’re doing something right, but you have some discipline or player personnel issues to address. The Argos are a good football team, their defense is amongst the tops in the CFL and I would stick with Rocky Butler at the helm, as he’s given your team some consistency and confidence it sorely lacks. As fore the Hamilton Tiger Cats, it’s plain and simple, they lack experience and good receivers. Jason Maas has no receivers on this team who can play in this league, as blunt as this will sound, you look at their receivers and there’s not 1 threat at this position. Once their brain trust can start seeing this and stop depending on Jesse Lumsden to rescue you each week, then you might go somewhere in the standings! Calgary released Marc Boerigter and Hamilton should have been his first phone call this week. Granted, the Tiger Cats have played the 2 second toughest schedule the first 9 weeks, but when you’re in last place, each week are tough!
ATSDatabase Tip: none.
Forecast: Toronto 27 Hamilton 16
Edmonton 54.0 vs. Calgary -6.0
Pick: Edmonton +6.0 Ron’s Comment: The Edmonton Eskimos are coming off a valiant effort in Week 8 vs. the Saskatchewan Roughriders, but still manage to score 32 points against the top defense in the league. The Eskimos have an SOS rating of 61.8% and 6 of their 8 games played this season were against teams with a .500 or more winning record. The Eskimos have the offense to compete in this league, they just need their defense to stop the aerial attacks and take some pressure off their offense. When you look at this Labour Day Classic on Monday, the Eskimos are a +6.0 point road underdog vs. a team who’s 3-4-1 on the season. How can a 3-4-1 team be a +6.0 point favorite vs. a team who has the top QB in the league in Ricky Ray? Call me stupid, but I’ll take my chances here with Ray at +6.0 vs. a Calgary team who doesn’t believe in using their top weapon on offense and that’s Jofferey Reynolds.
ATSDatabase Tip: When EDMONTON team played as Road team as a Underdog -Before a non division game - Coming off a game scored 34 points or less; The Eskimos are 9-4-0 ATS in this role.
Forecast: Edmonton 21 Calgary 19
Strike Point from Docs Sports
5-Unit Play. #225 Take Florida State -165 over Clemson (Monday - 8pm)
Not only will the Seminolees impressively take this opener on the road over Clemson, but they're our pick to win the ACC this season. Loaded on both sides of the ball with ballhawk defenders and speed like nobody's business, Florida State will respond with a sense of urgency after a disppointing season last fall. While the Tigers have a strong duo of tailbacks, their athleticism will be nuetralized, as FSU has all that and more with their stingy defense. Lookout for sophomore safety Myron Rolle, a playmaker to the fullest degree, and he and a very good front seven will keep their yardage at a minimum while Clemson again will lack any type of product from the quarterback position. Florida State, on the other hand, will make plays through the air with their big wide outs DeCody Fagg and Greg Carr. Antonie Smith at tailback will help to keep the offense producing and on the field as much as possible. Florida State has too much depth and talent for just two Clemson players to beat them. The Tiger defense has fallen off a bit from last year and they'll lose the quarerback battle, as LSU offensive coordinator Jimbo Fisher will make Drew Weatherford that much more effective ala JaMarcus Russell, as he is now on the staff in Tallahassee. Semionles take this one outright.
Bobby Maxwell
Texas Tech (-8') at SMU
The Red Raiders have won 10 straight games against SMU and have gone 7-3 ATS in the process.Texas Tech took last year's game 35-3 as 24 1/2-point favorites. And Texas Tech has just about everybody back on the offensive side.
Back for the Red Raiders is QB Graham Harrell who had 4,555 yards and 38 TDs last season, tops in the Big 12. Also back is RB Shannon Woods who led the conference in all-purpose yards with 1,808 and also added 10 TDs.
SMU will be a little better this season than last year's 6-6 season but won't be ready to stop Texas Tech's high-flying offense.
Let's lay the chalk and go with the Red Raiders in this one.

2500♦ FLORIDA STATE
Bobby Bowden and his Florida State Seminoles have double-revenge against Tommy Bowden and Clemson. The Tigers are only 2-6 ATS at home the last eight revenge games against a conference opponent and they are 4-13 ATS at home when facing double-revenge. The FSU coaching staff has been upgraded and Chuck Amato (from NC St) is back helping Mickey Andrews on the defensive side, while Jimbo Fisher (from LSU) is overseeing the offense. It will be a vastly improved Florida State, especially on the defensive side. The Seminoles speed will easily keep up with the aggressive Clemson rushing attack. Plus, Clemson has a new QB and they lost four starters on the offensive line. Florida State is on a 7-1 SU and ATS run in road openers when listed as small favorite or a small underdog. They are the slight favorite today and will win by an absolute blowout score.

Analysis: STAN IS BETTING 2 DIMES ON ARIZONA
This is a Big Series in the West and Stan's Big Baseball Bettors all agree that Arizona behind the pitching of Micah Owings will get Game 1. Note this game is a direct revenge match up from last week. San Diego is favored only because of Maddux against Owings but the fact is Owings is the better pitcher right now. TAKE ARIZONA as STAN'S BASEBALL FALSE FAVORITE BIG BET OF THE WEEK and make them a DOUBLE DIME PLAY.

Tommy has been getting the better of father Bobby in the "Bowden Bowl" recently. Clemson won 35-14 here as a 1-point favorite in 2005. The Tigers then traveled to Talahassee and scored a 27-20 upset as 4-point underdogs last season. Including that result, Clemson is a perfect 6-0 ATS the last six times it was listed as an underdog. During the same stretch, the Seminoles were a poor 6-11 ATS when laying points. The Tigers are 4-1 ATS the last five times that they played a game with a line ranging from -3 to +3 and they're also 7-2 ATS the last nine times they played in the month of September. Consider taking the points with the home underdog.
The Wunderdog
Game: Florida State at Clemson (Sunday 9/02 8:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Clemson +3.5
Primetime father vs. son matchup here in round #9 of the "Bowden Bowl." While Bobby Bowden won the first four, the younger Bowden has won three of the last four. Clemson got off to a very fast start last year, going 7-1 with the only loss coming in OT at Boston College. Then the wheels fell off as the Tigers finished 1-3 and lost their Bowl game as a big favorite to Kentucky. But, Clemson is a powerful team at home as they own a 34-12 mark over the last seven years. They are even better as a home dog as they are a perfect 6-0 ATS as a home dog over the past few years. Florida State has contributed to that record and hasn't won at Clemson since 2001. The Seminoles brought their #3 ranked team here in 2003 as a huge 17.5 point favorite and got hammered 26-10. The 2005 Seminoles came in ranked #17 as 2.5 point favorite and were handed a 35-14 loss. Last year Clemson went on the road to face the Seminoles and won again, 27-20. What we see here is a case of the younger Bowden putting a large emphasis facing off against his father, and knowing the Seminole system inside and out. Last season Florida State suffered first losing season ever in the ACC finishing just 3-5. It was Florida State's worst season since 1976! Coach Bowden brought in lots of new coaches and there will be a lot of new schemes and processes to learn. That is not condusive to playing a perfect game early in the season, and especially on the road in a very hostile environment. Defense is the calling card for Clemson. They allowed just 16.2 points per game last season and their defense returns seven starters. The defense was even stronger at home allowing just 10 per game! Florida State needed a Bowl win to avoid finishing the season with a losing record last year. The last two years this team has lost 11 games, and if you turn back the clock in the Bowden era, this team notched a decade's worth of losses in just two years. Florida State may be improved, but playing on the road, with three new coaches in Amato, Jimbo Fisher and Rick Trickett, it is hard to believe this team is going to be ultra-sharp here. Clemson, after a rough 2006 finish, will be motivated to start strong here in front of the home crowd. The Tigers are a perfect 6-0 the past three years as an underdog and we like them to win, or at least keep it close here.
Note, this game is +3.5 at most sportsbooks. If yours has it at +3 with low juice, buy the hook to get 3.5.

5.5-Unit Play. Take #962 Colorado (-140) over San Francisco (3 p.m., Monday, Sept. 3)
The Rockies aer 25-9 in their past 34 home games and 21-6 in their past 27 home games with Jeff Francis starting. The Rockies have won nearly 70 percent of Francis’ last 60 starts and they are 12-2 when he hurls on four days rest. Colorado is 17-4 backing Francis against a team with a losing record. Finally, Matt Cain is 3-12 in his last 15 road starts and 1-10 as an underdog. Oh, and he’s 0-8 with an extra day of rest and the Giants are 8-22 in Cain’s last 30 starts. Basically, Francis wins nearly 70 percent of his starts and Cain loses 75 percent of his. I’ll take these odds and hopefully our luck will change.
4-Unit Play. Take #978 Los Angeles Angels (-145) over Oakland (9 p.m., Monday, Sept. 3)
After two strong starts it’s time for Chad Gaudin to get lit up. He has a 5.40 ERA in nearly 50 innings against the Angels and a 7.71 ERA in Anaheim. Oh, and it’s Ervin Santana at home. That’s automatic. With Santana at home, Anaheim is 24-8, 22-8 as a home favorite, and 12-2 against a team with a losing record. Santana has won five of six against the A’s.
3-Unit Play. Take #956 Cincinnati (-120) over New York Mets (1 p.m., Monday, Sept. 3)
This is a bad spot for Pedro to make his debut. The Reds are 10-1 in Aaron Harang’s last 11 starts against a team with a winning record and 42-20 in his last 62 starts overall. In fact, Harang is 18-4 in his last 22 starts on normal rest and 13-3 as a home favorite. The Reds have been very good in series openers, winning 11 of their past 16 openers. The Mets should have held Pedro until this weekend’s home series against Houston. Instead, if he’s making mistakes here they are going to fly a long way in that park.
2-Unit Play. Take #957 Houston (+115) over Milwaukee (2 p.m., Monday, Sept. 3)
Houston is 36-15 behind Roy Oswalt against a team with a winning record and 46-22 in his last 68 starts.
2-Unit Play. Take #967 Seattle (+160) over New York Yankees (1 p.m., Monday, Sept. 3)
The Mariners are 6-1 in Felix’s last seven starts and the Yankees have lost four of their last five series openers. This line is about 40 cents heavy so we’re going to take the value. The Yankees are 1-5 behind Clemens against the Mariners and 2-6 behind Clemens after he had a quality start in his last appearance.
2-Unit Play. Take #971 Toronto (+180) over Boston (7 p.m., Monday, Sept. 3)
The Blue Jays have won six of nine and are playing well right now. They’ve seen Dice-K three other times this year so they’re used to his stuff. Also, he has been hit for 13 runs in his past three starts with a 6.50 ERA. Toss in no Manny Ramirez and I think this line is a little out of whack. Jesse Litsch has an ERA of 2.64 on the road this season and 2.95 in his last three starts.
2-Unit Play. Take #964 Chicago Cubs (-160) over Los Angeles Dodgers (4 p.m., Monday, Sept. 3)
After a tough series with the Padres the Dodgers had to fly East to Chicago for an afternoon game. That’s a tough draw. We just don’t know how much Estaban Loaiza has left in the tank and we have to think that Big Z will finally throw a strong game

HAMILTON (day game)
Game: Toronto Argonauts vs. Hamilton Tiger-Cats Game Time: 9/3/2007 1:00:00 PM Prediction: Hamilton Tiger-Cats Reason: I'm playing on HAMILTON. The Ti-Cats are finally going with Timmy Chang at quarterback and I expect the move to pay dividends this afternoon. Chang has had plenty of time to learn the offense and has shown the ability to move the ball better than Maas when given the chance. He'll be supported by a solid running attack that averages 116 yards per game (Toronto averages 73.4) and which averages a healthy 7.4 yards per rush, #1 in the league. Note that while the Argos are excellent against the pass, they are rather ordinary against the run, ranking below the league average in that category. Michael Bishop will be in uniform but will likely be rusty, if he does see game action. Since winning here in July, the Argos are 0-3 on the road. They've also lost five in a row overall, managing 13 points or less in four of those five games. The Ti-Cats crushed Winnipeg (44-22) by three touchdowns in their most recent home game. Look for them to build on that performance with another highly motivated effort and a minor upset.
COLTS
Game: New Orleans Saints vs. Indianapolis Colts Game Time: 9/6/2007 8:30:00 PM Prediction: Indianapolis Colts Reason: I'm laying the points with INDIANAPOLIS. Wagering on the defending Super Bowl champion typically doesn't offer much value and I likely won't back the Colts too often this season. That being said, I feel that the Saints are also coming into this season a bit "over-valued." Additionally, I've noticed that recent Super Bowl champions tend to have no problem "getting up" for their opening game. In fact, they have been downright dominant in their first regular season game. Let's take a look at how the defending champions fared in their six opening games this millennium. Last season, the Steelers (-1.5) defeated Miami by 11 points, despite playing without starting quarterback Ben Rothlisberger. The previous season, the Patriots (-7.5) defeated Oakland by double-digits. The Patriots also beat the Colts the year before that but "pushed" as three point favorites. Prior to that, Tampa Bay (+3) traveled to Philadelphia and "upset" the Eagles 17-0 on Monday Night. The Patriots crushed the Steelers by a score of 30-14 the previous season while Baltimore (-9.5) beat up on Chicago by double-digits the year before. That's 6-0 SU and 5-0-1 ATS the last six seasons! Yes, the Colts were just 1-3 in the preseason. However, the only game that the starters saw any real playing time (Week 3) they won by a score of 37-10, with Manning completing 85% of his passes, going 23 of 27. The Colts are 18-2 their last 20 home games with 14 of those victories coming by a minimum of a touchdown. This is their chance to enjoy the spotlight as defending champions and I expect them to step up with another convincing win and cover. *Best Bet
UNDER smu/texas tech
Game: Texas Tech vs. SMU Game Time: 9/3/2007 4:00:00 PM Prediction: under Reason: I'm playing on the Red Raiders and the Mustangs to finish UNDER the total. The number was high to begin with and it has already moved up a few points. I feel that its too high and that the value now lies with the UNDER. Yes, the Red Raiders always have an explosive offense and they're sure to be a high-scoring team again this season. That being said, they have still seen the UNDER go 9-5 the last 14 times that they were listed as road favorites. They've also seen the UNDER go 5-2 the last seven times that played a road game with an over/under line ranging from 56.5 to 63. That's partly because they see such inflated over/under lines. It's also partly because opposing "home underdogs" typically try and slow things down with a heavy dose of the run, in an effort to avoid getting into a shootout. Note that SMU has seen the UNDER go 13-7 the last 20 times it was listed as an underdog. Both starting quarterbacks are back but both will face a defense which returns three starters in the secondary. It's also worth noting that Texas Tech QB Graham Harrell will be without last season's top two receivers. These teams met exactly one year ago (09/02/06) and combined for 38 points. Including that result, the UNDER is 5-1-1 that the Mustangs played a game (which had a total) played before the middle of September. Look for those numbers to improve today as the final combined score falls beneath the big number.
TWINS
Game: Cleveland Indians vs. Minnesota Twins Game Time: 9/3/2007 2:10:00 PM Prediction: Minnesota Twins Reason: I'm laying the price with MINNESOTA. Sabathia got the better of Santana when these two elite starters faced each other at Cleveland last week. I expect Santana and the Twins to return the favor this afternoon though. While the Indians are 0-3 in Sabathia's last three road starts, note that the last time that Santana pitched here, he allowed only two hits through eight shutout innings. The Twins are also a perfect 10-0 the last 10 times the Santana started at home in September. The former two-twim Cy Young Award Winner allowed one earned run or less in seven of the last eight of those victories (he allowed two earned runs in the other one) including four shutouts. The Twins won those 10 games by a combined score of 60-19! Santana hasn't pitched badly in losing four games against the Indians this season and said: "I feel like I've pitched well enough to win against them." He knows he'll have to be even better this afternoon and knows that his team desperately needs a victory. I fully expect the highly motivated Santana to be at his best and for the Twins to grab Game 1.
*Afternoon Annihilator
NATIONALS
Game: Florida Marlins vs. Washington Nationals Game Time: 9/3/2007 1:05:00 PM Prediction: Washington Nationals Reason: I'm laying the price with WASHINGTON. These teams have split a dozen meetings this season with each team going 4-2 at home. I expect the home team to have a solid pitching advantage this afternoon. Bergmann has a 4.56 ERA and 1.222 WHIP for the seaon. That includes a highly respectable 3.72 ERA and a stellar 1.046 WHIP on in six home starts, averaging better than six innings per start. Bergmann is supported by a Washington bullpen which has a solid 3.19 ERA at home. Meanwhile, Vanden Hurk gets the call for the visitors and he has an awful 6.70 ERA and 1.766 WHIP in 10 starts this season, averaging less than five innings per start. Note that in his most recent road start, Vanden Hurk gave up three home runs, five walks, eight hits and six runs, all in just five innings. Note that the Marlins' bullpen has a 4.44 ERA on the road. These teams have identical 60-77 records. However, they've achieved those records in different fashion. The Marlins, which come off back to back wins vs. the Phillies, have been somewhat successful vs. top tier teams but are a money-burning 28-36 (-11.4) against teams with a losing record, including 10-16 (-8.3) in the second half. On the other hand, the Nationals haven't been able to beat winning teams. However, they've risen to the occasion against the league's weaker teams, going a highly profitable 34-26 (20) against losing teams including a 15-7 (+9.4) mark in the second half. The Nationals are also a surprising 25-12 (+18.3) when playing a home game with an over/under line of either nine or 9.5. Look for them to build on those numbers with another victory this afternoon.
*NL East Game of the Month
REDS
Game: New York Mets vs. Cincinnati Reds Game Time: 9/3/2007 1:15:00 PM Prediction: Cincinnati Reds Reason: I'm playing on CINCINNATI. The betting public will be quick to back the Mets here due to the "big name" of Pedro Martinez. However, keep in mind that this is Pedro's first real start since rotator cuff surgery and that he is expected to be limited to a maximum of 75 pitches. Also, keep in mind that Harang has been excellent at home all season, going 7-2 (team is 10-4) with a stellar 2.97 ERA and 1.121 WHIP for the season. Overall, Harang is an impressive 14-3 (team is 22-6!) on the year. Most recently, he tossed a complete-game 2-hit shutout en route to an 8-0 Cincinnati win. Its highly likely that Harang will outlast Pedro as that exceptional performance marked the ninth time this season that he has pitched a minimum of eight innings. Harang's control has been exceptional all season and he has allowed one walk or less in seven straight starts. For the season, he has 174 K's to just 44 walks, including a 21-3 mark his last three outings. Behind another strong effort from Harang, look for the Reds to grab this afternoon's series opener, improving to 5-2 the last seven times they hosted the Mets.
Scott Spreitzer's CFL "Labour Day Classic" Knockout! 9-0, 100%!
I'm playing slight underdog Hamilton in this one. Back in early July, Toronto hammered the Ticats, 30-5, on the strength of Michael Bishop's arm. Much has changed since that week-two meeting. Hamilton has shown that when they eliminate mistakes, they can play with and even beat anyone in the league. Toronto has shown that when Michael Bishop is not 100% healthy, they can lose to every team in the CFL. That's the case today. Bishop is reportedly suffering from an injury that limits his downfield passing routes. If Bishop can't go deep, the Argos can't beat Hamilton, especially away from home. The Ticats haven't played in front of the home folks in a month. Their last homer came on August 3rd, and they crushed Eastern Division leader, Winnipeg, 43-22! That was one of just two loss for the Blue Bombers this season, which shows just what the Ticats can do when focused. Gaining focus will not be a problem in this heated rivalry! After all, it's the 57th installment of the Labour Day Classic. And, the Tiger Cats are in payback-mode for a 25-point defeat. In fact, they're in payback mode for most of the last decade. I believe they'll exact some serious revenge this afternoon. We'll back Hamilton, our CFL Knockout on Monday. Thanks! GL! Scott.

Analysis: The Rockies lost to the Reds here at Coors on June 1 but since then have gone 27-10. They open this three-game series with the Giants one game behind the Dodgers in the NL West and five games behind the D'backs and Padres. As for the last-place Giants, they had won 12 of 15 before losing the last two games of their series in Washington this weekend, 4-1 and 2-1. I'm not sure we should expect their bats to 'wake up' vs Jeff Francis , who has been one of MLB's best moneymakers all season. He had a DREADFUL four-game stretch in mid-April to early May (went 0-4 with a 7.97 ERA) but other than that, has been wonderful. In his other 24 starts, he's 14-2 with a 3.51 ERA, as the Rockies are 19-5. Francis struggled in his first two starts vs San Fran in '07 but in his last two, is 2-0 with a 1.06 ERA. Let's also note that Francis is 5-0 with a 2.40 ERA in six day starts this year. Matt Cain (7-13, 3.57) will start for the Giants. He hasn't allowed more than three ERs in any of his last seven starts and finished the month of August by going 4-1 with a 2.18 ERA in six starts. He's actually pitched well for most of 2007 but there is a catch. The Giants are 8-19 (minus-$1,379) in the right-handers starts this year and that makes him the single biggest moneyline loser of all starters in 2007 (out of 286!). The team is 3-10 in his road starts this year and the Rockies have DOMINATED righties at home in '07, going 29-15 (plus-$1,255) while averaging 6.1 RPG! NL Game of the Week 15* Col Rockies (Double Dime).
