2 Star Selection
**Navy 23 RUTGERS (-16.5) 30
04:00 PM Pacific, 07-Sep-07
Rutgers dominated a pretty good Navy team last season, winning 34-0 as a 2 point do in Annapolis. However, that was the game in which Navy starting quarterback Brian Hampton was injured and inexperienced Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada was forced into action running the option against a very good Scarlet Knights defense. Navy was held to negative passing yards after Hampton went out and the option was stopped dead in its tracks. Kaheaku-Enhada rebounded from that game and ended the season in fine fashion, so expect different results this year from the Middies’ offense. Navy ran for 5.8 yards per rushing play at Rutgers in 2005 against a good Scarlet Knights’ defense, so the option can work against Greg Schiano’s defense. Rutgers’ offense should also work well as the Knights’ good all-around attack should move the ball at a good rate against a mediocre Navy stop unit. However, my ratings only favor Rutgers by 14 points and the line on this game has gone up considerably from the opening number of 12 ½ points. The line value is nice, but the reason for the play is an 82-31 ATS game 2 situation and a 49-17-2 ATS game 2 situation that both apply to Navy. I certainly don’t mind going with a Navy squad that is 73-33-1 ATS in regular season games away from home, including 23-9 ATS under coach Johnson and 45-18 ATS as an underdog of more than 7 points. I’ll take Navy in a 2-Star Best Bet at +14 points or more and for 3-Stars at +17 points or more.

FREE PLAY: Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs Penn State Nittany Lions
Penn State -17 When the books have Notre Dame as 17-point dogs, you know they’ve got to be bad. The Irish will not easily bounce back from it’s worst season opening loss in the program’s history as they must travel to Happy Valley in week 2 to take on the mighty Nittany Lions. Penn State’s 59-0 win in their first contest of the season lets us know that this team means business in 2007. Notre Dame is just 2-9 ATS in non-conference games over the last 2 seasons. Penn State will gladly take the opportunity to embarrass the Irish this week. Lay the points.

Jim Feist.

My free pick of the day is the game between (971) TOR Blue Jays and (972) TAM Devil Rays. Take "(972) TAM Devil Rays". The best team in baseball? Tampa Bay! At least the last two weeks, going on a 10-3 run. The offense is smoking the ball. In 13 straight games, Tampa Bay scored 5 runs or less in only three of them. They topped 8 or more runs 8 times, including double digits four times. Tampa Bay is 5-2 its last 7 games

Dave Cokin.

My free pick of the day is the game between (973) OAK Athletics and (974) TEX Rangers. Take "(974) TEX Rangers". Dave missed by a mile with the Saints Thursday night, but had another easy win with his top rated play of the day as Cincinnati buried Oregon State. Tonight's Navy-Rutgers opinion is FREE for all callers to 1-888-389-7223!... "I first saw Edinson Volquez a couple years ago pitching AA ball. His numbers weren't all that good, but his stuff was. However, the Rangers decided to rush him through the system before he was ready, he got destroyed at the big level and basically had to start from scratch, as he was eventually dropped all the way back to A ball. The Volquez renaissance has taken place and he's back with the big club, and this time he just might stick. Texas has played some good baseball lately and with Danny Haren struggling some down the stretch, I see the Rangers as a live underdog at home tonight."

Larry Ness' 15* Bailout of the Week (26-8 since Aug 7 / 109-38 this season!)
My 15* play is on the LA Dodgers at 10:05 ET. The Dodgers lost 13 of 16 games from July 28-August 14 and appeared to be "dead in the water." However, they have rebounded to win 14 of 21 to pull within 2 1/2 games of wild card-leading San Diego, the closest they have been since August 23. LA enters this game with the Giants, having won eight of their last 11 overall and with 11 straight wins at AT&T Park (6-0 in '07)! Chad Billingsley (10-4, 3.30 ERA) goes for LA. He opened the year in the bullpen and didn't make his first start until 6/21. He went 3-0 in his first seven starts (Dodgers were 6-1) but then had a five-start winless stretch. He was 0-4 (team was 0-5), while posting a 4.33 ERA. However, he looks to win his fourth straight start for the Dodgers, tonight. He's been excellent during his three-game streak, limiting opponents to four ERs and 16 hits in 21 innings while walking four and striking out 22 (1.71 ERA). The Giants can only counter with Jonathan Sanchez (1-3, 5.27 ERA), who will make his second start of the season. The second-year left-hander allowed three runs and six hits over 5.1 innings Saturday in a 4-1 loss at Washington. Sanchez made four starts for San Francisco at the end of last year, going 1-1 with a 7.36 ERA. Sanchez is in trouble here against the Dodgers, who have hit lefties well this year, especially on the road (12-6 and plus-$650). Bailout of the Week 15* LA Dodgers.

Good Luck...Larry

THE SPORTS ADVISORS


NATIONAL LEAGUE

St. Louis (69-6 at Arizona (78-63)
It’s a battle of right-handers in the Valley of the Sun tonight as the Cardinals’ Adam Wainwright (13-9, 3.7 goes up against the Diamondbacks’ Brandon Webb (14-10, 2.91) in Phoenix.
The Cardinals come into this one winners of five of their last seven and off a 16-4 win over the Pirates Thursday. St. Louis has gotten the best of Arizona this season, taking three of four.
Wainwright has won two of his last three starts and posted a 1.93 ERA in those three outings. He is 6-2 on the road and last time he pitched on the highway he blanked the Brewers on two hits over seven innings of an 8-0 win.
St. Louis is 7-3 in his last 10 starts and his lone start against Arizona in his career was July 5 when he gave up two runs on five hits over seven innings of a 3-2 victory. He’s allowed more than three earned runs just once in his last 10 outings.
Webb has gone just 1-2 in his last three starts with a 5.59 ERA and in front of the home fans he’s just 6-5 this season. Webb pitched Sunday at home and gave up four runs on five hits over seven innings of a 4-3 loss to the Rockies.
He faced the Cardinals on July 2 and gave up five runs on seven hits in six innings of an 11-3 loss. Last season at home, he pitched a complete-game one-hitter and beat St. Louis 3-0.
The under is 7-3-1 in the Cardinals’ last 11 Friday games and 8-1-1 in Webb’s last 10 outings.
ATS ADVANTAGE: UNDER




AMERICAN LEAGUE


Cleveland (81-59) at L.A. Angels (83-57)

Two of the three AL division leaders continue their four-game set in Anaheim, Calif., tonight when the Indians send Jake Westbrook (5-8, 4.42 ERA) to the hill to face the Angels’ John Lackey (16-8, 3.26).
The Angels scored a 10-3 win Thursday to cool off the Indians, who came into the series having won 16 of the last 20.
Westbrook is 1-1 in his last three games with a 2.75 ERA and the Indians have won five of his last seven starts. In his last road start, he shut out Detroit on five hits over eight innings of a 3-1 win. He’s allowed just one run in his last 15 innings of work on the highway.
Against the Angels, Westbrook gave up three runs (two earned) over six innings of a 4-1 home loss back on April 11. Since 2004, the Indians are just 2-5 in his last seven starts against Los Angeles.
Lackey has been the ace of the Angels’ staff this season and in his last three he is 1-1 with a 2.78 ERA. He pitched Sunday at home and gave up four runs on six hits over 6 2/3 innings of an 8-7 loss to the Rangers.
The Angels are just 2-5 in Lackey’s seven starts against Cleveland since 2003. He went 1-2 last year in three starts and at home he allowed five runs on 10 hits in 4 2/3 innings of a 6-4 loss.
The under is 14-5 in Westbrook’s 19 outings this season, 9-4 in Cleveland’s last 13 road games, and 5-2 in the seven head-to-head meetings between these two this year. The over has been the play in seven of the Angels’ last nine overall.
ATS ADVANTAGE: UNDER

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Navy (1-0 SU, 0-1 ATS) at No. 13 Rutgers (1-0 SU and ATS)

The 13th-ranked Scarlet Knights had the offense in overdrive last week and look to keep it going as they host Navy in a nationally televised contest tonight.
Rutgers had 563 total yards and easily covered as a 31 ½-point favorite in the Knights 38-3 victory over Buffalo last week. Rutgers’ RB Ray Rice rushed for 184 yards and three TDs and QB Mike Teel threw for a career-high 328 yards and two TDs.
The Scarlet Knights went on the road to beat the Midshipmen last October, winning 34-0 as three-point underdogs. Rutgers got a big game from Teel as he threw for 215 yards and three TDs. Navy was able to limit Rice to 93 yards and keep him out of the end zone, the only time that happened in 2006.
The Middies opened the season a week ago with a 30-19 win over Temple, failing to cover the number as a 21-point chalk. Navy led Division I-A in rushing yards last season (327 yards per game) and rattled off 361 yards in the season opener, led by RB Shun White’s 122 yards on eight carries.
In last season’s game against Rutgers, the Middies were only able to rush for 113 yards.
The Scarlet Knights have gone 5-1 (4-1 ATS in the lined games) in the last six games against Navy dating back to 2000. Last time these two squared off in New Jersey was 2005 when Rutgers scored a 31-21 win as 6 ½-point favorites.
Navy is 35-17 ATS in its last 52 games overall while Rutgers has gone 8-3-1 ATS in its last 12 on grass.
The under has been the play in the last two head-to-head meetings and was the play in the opener for both schools last week

20 Dime –

RUTGERS
Lay the wood with Rutgers tonight when they host Navy.
Both teams boast fantastic running games, with Rutgers Ray Rice and Navy’s triple-option offense.
But make no mistake; Rutgers is going to put up the big plays tonight with their passing game.
That’s right, quarterback Mike Teel, who looked like a deer caught in the headlights at times last season, is going to make the difference here.
Teel completed 16-of-23 passes for 328 yards and two touchdowns in last week’s 38-3 win over Buffalo. Receiver Tiquan Underwood had 10 receptions for a school-record 248 yards.
The threat of a passing game is going to keep the Navy defense, which returns only three starters, guessing the entire game. That will open up huge running lanes for Rice, who ran for 184 yards and three touchdowns in the season opener.
I know Navy coach Paul Johnson has an uncanny ability to keep his team within the number, but going against the 16th-ranked Scarlet Knights in their backyard is going to be too daunting a task.
Rutgers beat the Midshipmen 34-0 last year and held them to 113 yards on 50 rushing attempts.
Rutgers is 5-1 ATS in this series, including 3-0 at home.
Lay the points as Rutgers cruises to the win and cover.

10 Dime –

RED SOX (With Lester and Cabrera as listed pitchers)
Take the Red Sox as the road chalk tonight over the Orioles.
Jon Lester will start for the BoSox and I expect him to continue rolling tonight. The left-hander is 2-0 with a 3.93 ERA in his last three starts. He’s 2-0 in two lifetime starts against the Orioles.
Baltimore will send Daniel Cabrera to the mound and to say he’s struggled against the Red Sox in his career would be an understatement.
The right-hander is 1-8 with a 7.88 ERA in 10 career starts against Boston, including 0-2 in two starts this year.
Baltimore is just 2-14 in its last 16 games while Boston is 5-1 in its last six.
Take the Red Sox as the road chalk for the win.

5 Dime –

WHITE SOX (With Silva and Vazquez as listed pitchers)
Take the White Sox as the home chalk tonight over the Twins.
Javier Vazquez will start for the White Sox and he’s held the Twins in check this year. In three starts, the right-hander is 2-0 with a 1.59 ERA. He backed Ozzie Guillen after the manager tore into his team over the weekend and called out his fellow players. He talked about picking up the energy the rest of the season, as well as playing with some pride.
I expect a quality outing tonight from the right-hander.
Minnesota will counter with Carlos Silva, who has struggled against the White Sox this year. The right-hander is 0-3 with a 5.06 ERA in three starts this year and 4-9 with a 5.63 ERA lifetime against the Pale Hose.
Take the White Sox as the home chalk as they grab the win

Game: Rutgers at Navy
Sep 7 2007 7:00PM

Prediction: Navy

Reason: Rutgers was in a great spot last season in their tilt with Navy. They had two weeks to prepare for Paul Johnson's offensive schemes and crushed the Middies, 34-0! But the real story was Navy losing starting QB Hampton on the very first series. Navy never recovered. But the final was a bit misleading with Rutgers getting 10 points off of blocked punts, and a 28 yard TD drive late in the game. In the loss, Navy's 2007 starting QB Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada was thrown into the mix and simply wasn't ready. But this is his attack now and has been ever since that game and we feel he's ready to shine. Navy's triple-option attack will face a Rutgers' defense with four new starters in its front seven. And while all of the talk has been about Navy only returning three starters on defense, that's not an unusual circumstance for Academy football programs. The unit dominated in their opener, albeit against Temple. But don't expect their personnel losses to cause as much of a drop-off as many are predicting. Also, the Scarlet Knights are a national "player" if you will, which means they're receiving extra attention from the linemaker who's adjusting for faulty public perception. There's no doubt that HC Greg Schiano has transformed Rutgers into a public team, which means the solid value lies with Navy. We'll take the points with the Midshipmen on Friday night. Thanks! GL! Scott.

Friday Plays:

1500♦ RUTGERS
Rutgers came out swinging in their first game of the season, amassing almost 600 yards of total offense in a 38-3 rout over Buffalo last week. They are out to prove that last year’s success was no fluke, and with the return of so many key players, they should enjoy another year of high powered offense and stingy defense. Rutgers is on such an incredible ride, coming off an 11-2 season last year and having the National Coach of the Year leading these Scarlet Knights into battle, that no way is the score of tonight’s game vs. the Midshipmen of Navy going to get even close to the spread.
Last year Navy got embarrassed in a 34-0 bludgeoning at home by Rutgers, so I know the Midshipmen will be seeking revenge. But do I think this one factor is enough to overcome the overall momentum and surging offense of the Scarlet Knights? No way. Don’t forget this Navy team suffered an ATS loss to the Temple Owls last week, allowing them to score 19 points in the process. And in case you need reminding of how truly bad the Owls are, they have won only four games in their last four seasons. So for the Midshipmen’s defense to allow them 19 points tells me that the many times more talented Scarlet Knights will roll right over them. One final reason to side with Rutgers: The Midshipmen are 1-5 ATS in their last six meetings with the Scarlet Knights.

1500♦ LA DODGERS w/BILLINGSLEY over San Francisco w/Sanchez
Chad Billingsley of the Dodgers is having an incredible season, at 10-4 with an ERA of 3.30. He is in a groove of late, winning each of his last three starts and posting an ERA of 1.71 in those games. Today he will face Jonathan Sanchez of the Giants, who is only 1-3 on the season with a pretty lofty ERA of 5.27. The Giants have lost four of their last five games, while the Dodgers have won 11 of their last 12 games as the listed favorite. Side with the Dodgers in this one.
