(271) PHILADELPHIA EAGLES at (272) CHICAGO BEARS
Take: (271) PHILADELPHIA EAGLES +2
Most coaches don’t have much to say about what they’re planning to in pre-season games. Back in the good old days, it was actually pretty common practice for the coaches to basically give away their exhibition game plans. That doesn’t happen as much anymore, although it’s possible to pretty much get a good clue as to what’s intended with depth chart rotations frequently available.
Chip Kelly has a chance to be the exception to the rule, at least for the time being. The second-year Eagles head coach was chatty in an interview I saw with him yesterday, and I’m using that information to make a play this evening.
Kelly talked about the difference between his first training camp and this one. He offered that last year he was more into evaluating what was on hand rather than doing anything specific, but that this isn’t the case this time around. Kelly stated that he is going to implement some regular season playbook material right from the outset this camp, and I sat up and took notice for two reasons when he said that.
First off, I don’t agree with Kelly doing this. If I’m the coach, I am going to keep as much as I can under wraps. The less the opposition knows, the better. To me, this is giving away free information to opposing coaches.
But I like the fact that Kelly is doing so form a personal perspective. If he’s running the fast break and actual playbook material in the first pre-season game, that should be an advantage against a Chicago defense that has zero reason to game plan for this game and from what i can gather, hasn’t done so to any extent. It sure sounds like they’re going to play mostly zone and will be primarily evaluating at linebacker and in the secondary, where there are some legit depth chart duels taking place.
Clearly, there is no guarantee that the Eagles will be sharp running their fast break. But if Kelly is actually going to do what he says, I can’t see how it’s not an advantage for the Philly side. Pre-season is all about getting an edge and then hoping it pays off. That’s the storyline for me in this game, and I’ll therefore be taking the small number with the Eagles.

Chicago White Sox vs. Seattle Mariners
1* Bonus Play on the Seattle Mariners -145
The visiting White Sox start Jose Quintana (6-7, 3.04 ERA) who is coming off a solid outing, the right-hander allowed an unearned run over five innings in a loss to the Twins. Unfortunately for Quintana, he has just one win in his last six trips to the bump due to lack of run support. Note that Quintana owns a pedestrian 4.00 ERA in 18 innings pitched with zero decisions in three games started vs. Seattle. The Mariners will counter with Hisashi Iwukuma (9-6, 2.94 ERA); Iwakuma allowed only a solo home run over 7 2/3 innings but suffered the loss against the Orioles on Sunday. Note though that Iwukuma has gone at least seven innings in six straight starts while giving up two runs or fewer in five of them. I don’t think we need to overanalyze this one; Chicago is 5-9 on the road this season as an underdog in the +120 to +150 range. The Mariners easily took care of the White Sox yesterday and all signs point to another relatively easy victory; condsider SEATTLE in this one.

Buffalo Bills vs. Carolina Panthers
Bonus Play Buffalo Bills -1½-105
The Bills were able to get rid of all their preseason jitters in the “Hall of Fame” game, a contest in which they actually outplayed the Giants, despite losing. Buffalo is likely to be one of the surprise teams in the league this year, much like the Panthers were last year. How far the Bills go this year will largely depend on QB E.J. Manuel.
Manuel didn’t play well in the opener but expect a better effort from him in this situation. He’ll be looking to connect with the 4th overall pick in the draft, Sammy Watkins. In a draft that was very deep at the WR position, the Bills gave up a lot to secure Watkins, and in turn, there’s a lot of pressure on him. The stars won’t play much in this one, so look for C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson to be on the sidelines for most of the game. Buffalo is very high on 3rd string RB Bryce Brown, who ran well in the HOF game. Brown will receive the bulk load of the carries in this one, as they want to see what he can do and possibly make a trade to get better at a different position.
You can expect a tremendous drop-off from the Panthers this season. This team got worse in pretty much every way possible. They lost their franchise receiver in Steve Smith, and didn’t bring much in, so lack of talent at the WR position will be very costly.
Newton will be throwing to all new faces, so his timing will definitely be off. He is also coming off of ankle surgery in the offseason, so he won’t be playing much at all in this one. The Panthers have holes at pretty much every position, especially on the offensive side. With the Bills having already played a game, along with the significant talent gap between these two squads, look for the Bills to cover the number in this one. Take the Bills.

St. Louis Cardinals vs. Baltimore Orioles
1* Bonus Play on Baltimore Orioles-133
The Orioles are coming back to Baltimore after a successful road trip to Canada, where they won 2-of-3 versus the Blue Jays. They've played some good baseball lately going 6-2 in their last eight games, and we get a reasonable price to back the home team in this contest. Here are my keys to the game:
1. Pitching - The Orioles hand the ball to Chris Tillman (8-5, 3.78 ERA) who's undefeated in his last four starts. The 26 year old tossed seven scoreless innings allowing only four hits in a 1-0 win versus the Mariners his last time out. He's only 2-5 over 11 starts home at Oriole Park for the season, but has a 2.78 ERA. The Cardinals will counter with right-hander Justin Masterson (5-6, 5.63) who makes his second start since coming over from the Indians. His debut was not all that impressive, he surrendered five runs on seven hits with three walks over six innings. 2. Home cookin' - The Orioles have won their last four home games versus a right-handed starter, and Masterson fits the bill here. Their own starter points toward a positive trend as well, Baltimore is 4-1 in Tillman's last five home starts.
3. X-factor - Masterson has walked 20 batters over his last 24 innings. Control issues are nothing new for the right-hander.

Washington Nationals vs. Atlanta Braves
Bonus Play Washington Nationals -116
I'm recommending a play on the Nationals on Friday night. Washington beat the Mets with a 13th inning walk-off home run yesterday, extending their lead to 4 1/2 games over the Atlanta Braves. Stephen Strasburg will look to deal ATL their 9th straight loss in this big weekend series opener. Strasburg hasn't always enjoyed his starts against the Braves, but the current version is not scoring runs. The Braves have scored a total of 18 runs during the 8-game skid. Strasburg had a couple of so-so starts on July 18 & 23, but he's back on track in his last two starts and in four of his last six. The righty has 54 strikeouts and just 10 walks in his last 46 2/3 IP. Ervin Santana has thrown a ton of pitches of late, at least 102 in each of his last four starts. I believe there will be some regression for the righty in this one, especially with the likelihood he's not going to get much help from his slumping teammates at the plate. The Nats enter on a 58-28 road-chalk run and we'll back them tonight. I'm recommending a play on the Nationals on Friday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

NEWSLETTER NFL Preseason Prediction From Robert Ferringo
Take #263 Miami (+2.5) over Atlanta (7 p.m., Friday, Aug. 8)
It feels like it has been forever since I put the wraps on a dominating 2013-2014 football betting season. Last year we laid the foundation for my amazing season – nearly $8,000 in profit – with a great preseason. And this is really where it all begins so let’s start off with a winner. And let’s call this one the Hard Knocks Game. Miami was featured in the HBO show just two years ago and the Falcons are the current focus of the show. It sounds foolish, but I have actually noticed a trend that the teams on that show seem to play a little harder during the whole of the preseason. It is mainly because they know that if they screw up they are going to be focused on in the following episode. That said, the same is true for the opponent. And I have noticed that the teams featured on Hard Knocks seem to be a bit distracted by all of the attention early in the preseason. To wit, the Hard Knocks teams have gone 1-5 ATS in their first preseason game since the show was rebooted in 2007. The Chiefs lost in 2007. The Cowboys in 2008. The Bengals and Jets got hammered in 2009 and 2010, respectively. There was no show in 2011. In 2012 the Dolphins got slapped in their opener. Then last year the Bengals became the first team to win its preseason opener while being on the show. Atlanta doesn’t look like it has much talent. And Mike Smith has been one of those coaches that just mails it in during the preseason. He is a woeful 7-17 ATS in his career during the preseason, including a horrific 1-11 ATS in his last 12 games. Miami is a little deeper in the quarterback pool and they are in a make-or-break season for Coach Philbin. I can’t really figure out why the Falcons are favored in this one and I think Miami will win this game outright.

Then last year the Bengals became the first team to win its preseason opener while being on the show. Atlanta doesn’t look like it has much talent. And Mike Smith has been one of those coaches that just mails it in during the preseason. He is a woeful 7-17 ATS in his career during the preseason, including a horrific 1-11 ATS in his last 12 games. Miami is a little deeper in the quarterback pool and they are in a make-or-break season for Coach Philbin. I can’t really figure out why the Falcons are favored in this one and I think Miami will win this game outright.
NEWSLETTER MLB Baseball Prediction From Mike Davis
Take ‘Under’ 7 - San Diego Padres at Pittsburgh (7 p.m., Friday, Aug. 8)
Ian Kennedy is the ace of the Padres staff and he has pitched really well as of late. In his last 6 starts, he has pitched 37 innings allowing just 25 hits and 10 earned runs while striking out 39 batters. Included in those starts was a brilliant performance vs. the Dodgers as Kennedy pitched 8 innings allowing just 3 hits and no runs. Kennedy has faced the Pirates once this season and he had a normal Ian Kennedy performance. In that start, he pitched 6 innings allowing 5 hits and 2 earned runs while striking out seven Pirates’ batters. The Pirates counter with Vance Worley who has also been very good this season. He sports a 4-1 record with a 2.43 era and he has been especially good in his last three starts. In those outings, he pitched 21 innings allowing 18 hits and just 2 earned runs. You have to go back two years to find Worley squaring off with the Padres. He faced SD twice in ’12 and he pitched really well. He pitched 13 innings allowing 10 hits and 3 earned runs while striking out a staggering 20 batters. San Diego has scored the least amount of runs in MLB and they are a staggering 50 runs behind the next team. While Pittsburgh ranks in the top 12 in runs scored, they have been dealt a big blow with McCutcheon being hurt. He is their “rock” and runs will be tough to come by without him in the lineup. My numbers indicate a combined score of 4.74 in this game. Take the Under.
