(187) WESTERN MICHIGAN at (188) PURDUE
Take: (187) WESTERN MICHIGAN +11 (note +12 or +12.5 available in LV on this game as of now)
It really doesn’t get much uglier than this. Western Michigan and Purdue would each probably like to regard 2013 as if it never happened. The Broncos and Boilermakers combined for a grotesque 2-22 record. Purdue never beat a single FBS opponent, and the only WMU victory was by one point against hapless UMass.
I wouldn’t look for a huge step forward by either squad this season, although I do think there’s a bit more reason for optimism at Western Michigan. They appear to have had what, by MAC standards, is a fine recruiting class and several of their true freshmen will be seeing action right from the outset. Head coach PJ Fleck got a pass from me for the most part as far as last season goes. The cupboard Fleck inherited from Bill Cubit might not have been totally bare, but it also sure wasn’t stocked with goodies.
I’m not going to be as liberal with my grade for Darrell Hazell. Purdue was not supposed to be a winning team, so this isn’t about them just going 1-11. It was more the way they went about accumulating that sorry record. The Boilermakers were only able to win against Indiana State, and they actually lost the stats to even that FCS opponent. Worse is that this team didn’t appear to have a clue as to what they were doing in most of the games I saw. Losing games is one thing. Getting completely dominated virtually every week is something else, and aside from a respectable loss to powerful Michigan State, there was almost nothing positive at all for this entry in 2013.
I’m already on record as predicting that Hazell might well be done in West Lafayette after just two seasons. Purdue figures to be a dog in all their league games, and to make matters worse, the only games in which they figure to at least compete are each on the conference road. I’m not ruling out improvement, as there’s now plenty of experience on this team, and that’s usually a plus. But the Boilermakers were consistently out game planned last season, and if that happens again this season, the results are going to be very similar to what we saw in 2013.
This was a game I had circled as a potential opening week play coming out of spring ball, as the reports I got on Western Michigan were positive and upbeat. There was one major concern, which was courtesy of Coach Fleck. He indicated at the start of camp that as many as 14 true freshmen might be starting come September. Had that ended up being the case, there’s no chance I’d be taking them here. But as it turns out, while several newcomers are going to see action right away, only two raw recruits are starting, and one of those is the long snapper.
Western Michigan is still likely to be pretty lousy this season. I’ve got them finishing fifth in the MAC West. But if the impressive freshman class comes along quickly, they could spring an upset or two and approach .500. As for Purdue, I would expect a bit of improvement but not enough to avoid finishing at the bottom of the B10 West. Maybe they can avoid another train wreck but there’s just no way I can see this team winning more than four games, and that’s the glass half full outlook.
I have Purdue winning this game, but can’t buy the number being as high as it is. I see them being extremely vulnerable to the run again, and that’s good news for a Broncos squad that probably wants to grind things out and hope to stay close enough to have a chance at the upset late. What I sure don’t see here is the blowout Purdue win. If that’s the case, double with Western Michigan should be more than enough to make getting at least the cover a good possibility.

Comp MLB Pick for Monday, August 25, 2014: 10:05 PM ET
(969) MIAMI MARLINS VS (970) LOS ANGELES ANGELS
Take: over
Reason: Your free pick for Monday, August 25, 2014, comes in interleague action as Miami and the Angels meet in Anaheim, CA. Miami brings a good offense to Anaheim and picks up the DH, 12th in baseball in on base percentage, 15th in runs. The Over is 14-5-2 in the Marlins last 21 games vs. a left-handed starter. In a win at Colorado this weekend Miami drew a season-high nine walks, including two by Stanton, who was 3 for 4. He is batting .375 with 18 RBIs over his last 14 contests. But their pitching and defense is suspect, which hurts on the road. Starter Jarred Cosart (4.14 ERA) walks too many batters on the road, allowing 29 free passes and 61 hits in 62 road innings. He faces an LA Angels offense that is one of the best in baseball, 7th in baseball in on base percentage, third in runs, 6th in slugging. The over is 11-5-1 in the Angels last 17 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. LA goes with starter Wade LeBlanc (7.36 ERA), who used to pitch for these Marlins, so they know all about him. Last year opponents hit .309 off him with a 5.40 ERA. Play the Marlins/LA Angels over the total.

Texas Rangers vs. Seattle Mariners
1* Bonus Play Seattle Mariners
The visiting Texas Rangers will send Miles Mikolas (1-5, 7.48) to the hill to face the Mariners for the first time in his career; note that Mikolas has only recorded two quality outings out of nine starts this season, most recently he’s off a loss to the Marlins where allowed three runs over five plus innings. The Mariners counter with Roenis Elias (9-10, 4.09 ERA) who has also struggled of late with his command, but the left-hander owns a highly respectable 2.10 ERA over his last five starts though (and note that the rookie is 1-0 with a 2.92 ERA in two starts versus Texas). The Mariners continue to play strong baseball after a sweep of the Red Sox over the weekend, they won for the 14th time in 18 games Sunday, scoring an 8-6 victory at Fenway. The Rangers meanwhile continue their struggles and are just 7-23 away from home since June 17th. Seattle's starting pitchers have been dominant at Safeco Field in posting a combined 1.61 ERA during an 8-1 stretch; consider paying the reasonable price to get the red hot home side.

Texas Rangers vs. Seattle Mariners
Bonus Play Seattle Mariners
The Mariners just swept a series at Fenway Park for the first time in franchise history. I expect them to continue to roll here at home vs. a last place Texas team that has been awful all year.
Seattle is 14-4 its last 18 games. As a result, they have a one game lead over Detroit for the final Wild Card. Texas also won Sunday, but is 3-7 their last 10 games overall and 7-23 their last 30 on the road. They are 29 games over .500 and clearly just waiting for next year.
The Mariners have outscored their opponents by 106 runs. The Rangers have been outscored by 139 runs. That's a difference of 245 runs.
Roenis Elias has given Seattle some solid starts recently, which has been consistent with the rest of the rotation. He has a 2.35 ERA his last three starts. He's allowed just one earned run in four of his last five starts. The same can't be said for the Rangers starter Miles Mikolas, who has one win in nine starts and a 7.48 ERA and 1.58 WHIP.
I see no reason why the Mariners won't roll Monday. I'll recommend a small wager. 1* Bonus Play.

Washington Nationals vs. Philadelphia Phillies
Bonus Play Washington Nationals
I'm backing the Washington Nationals on Monday. The red-hot Nats have put 8 games between themselves and the Atlanta Braves in the NL East and now have a chance to cushion that lead even more with a 3-game series in Philadelphia. Tanner Roark has held six of his last eight opponents to 1 earned run or less. His counterpart, A.J. Burnett has not fared so well. The veteran righty has been smacked for 22 earned runs and 47 base runners in his last five starts, spanning 26 1/3 IP. That's a hefty 7.53 ERA & 1.79 WHIP. He'll face a Nationals' lineup averaging 5.31 rpg over their last 13 games. Washington enters on a 17-5 winning run, overall, and they're 7-1 the last eight times Roark has been favored. Meanwhile, the Phils are just 1-10 in Burnett's last 11 starts. I'm backing the Washington Nationals on Monday night. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

5* MLB ML Bonus Play Pittsburgh Pirates -135
The Pirates made up some ground on Milwaukee over the weekend after a terrible stretch of play that really set them back. They start this week with another whopper of a series with the Cardinals coming to town. When evaluating starter Francisco Liriano you have to look past the 3-10 record.
He got shelled last time out but prior to that had gone 10 straight starts without yielding more than 3 runs. I am way more comfortable with him than the Cards John Lackey at this point.
