OC Dooley:
“2 UNIT” PITCHERS REPORT CARD TOTAL (Twins at Royals UNDER 8’ in a 8:10 eastern start--------Pavano versus Tejada): This total is all about a pair of pitchers who have been very impressive down the stretch run of the regular season. One of the reasons why Minnesota is still in contention to possibly steal the American League Central Division crown is due to their acquisition of veteran hurler Carl Pavano in a trade deadline deal that received little or no national attention. To make a long story short Pavano has been a completely different pitcher since being “liberated” from Cleveland’s roster as his Strikeout-to-Walk ratio (35:11) has been sensational. The last time Pavano was on the mound not only did he permit just 2 runs to cross the plate, he issued ZERO walks which is very good news for UNDER fans. The last time the veteran went up against the Kansas City lineup, he allowed just 2 runs. This is the same Carl Pavano who physically was unable to play for 3+ years while on the roster of the New York Yankees, but he has been able to finally stay away from the disabled list in 2009 and has flashed signs of earlier in his career when statistically he was viable in Florida. On the mound tonight for Kansas City is little known Robinson Tejada who very quietly has been one of the best American League hurlers in the past month. In four starting assignments since being liberated from the bullpen, Tejada has posted a SUB ONE ERA (0.81) which is amazing since he is not a power pitcher. I will admit that Minnesota’s offense generated 23 runs in a three-game sweep this week in Chicago, but that was against a White Sox contingent that has played very poor defense which has in turn put a lot of extra pressure on the pitching staff. The fact of the matter is that Minnesota’s offense is operating down the stretch without slugger and former MVP Justin Morneau who is out for the remainder of the season with back problems. Despite some high scoring games played this week, Minnesota has been a 13-4 UNDER play in the month of September which comes as no shock since this organization has always stressed fundamentals including defense

7 Unit Play. #608 Take Phoenix -3 ½ over LA Sparks (Friday 9/25 10:05 PM)
(Write up coming soon….Bet this game NOW as we feel this number will move)
The last time LA played in Phoenix they won but their was really nothing to play for in that game. Game 2 the Mercury can finish off Los Angeles and reach the WNBA Finals. Phoenix hit 14 3-pointers in Game 1, are averaging 100.0 points in four playoff games. Phoenix win this game and win this game big…Wouldn’t be shocked to see a double-digit victory. Phoenix is 16-6 ATS in their last 22 home games. Los Angeles is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 meetings against the Mercury.
These are all the picks for the WNBA today. Your next update will be Saturday, September 26, 2009. Be sure to check out the L.V. Informs on my profile page for daily updates and free picks.

Dominic Fazzini Friday's play 15 Dime -- Missouri (minus points vs. NEVADA)
Missouri isn't as strong as it was last season, but it has been pretty good in starting 3-0 this year, especially in its season-opening 37-9 victory over Illinois.
Nevada, on the other hand, is not as good as many people thought it would be, starting the season with a 35-0 loss at Notre Dame and a 35-20 loss at Colorado State.
The Wolf Pack offense has been sloppy, committing eight turnovers, and quarterback Colin Kaepernick has been erratic, with four interceptions vs. just one touchdown pass.
Nevada has lost four of its last five, and is 0-5 against the spread.
While Missouri is just 1-5 ATS in its last six games as a favorite, it is 6-1 ATS in its last seven as a road favorite, 7-2 ATS in September, 10-3 ATS on the road, 11-4 ATS in nonconference games, 6-1 ATS in nonconference road games and 11-0 ATS as a favorite of 3 1/2 to 10 points.
Missouri also hammered the Wolf Pack 69-17 at home last year, easily covering as a 26-point favorite.
The Tigers' next game is at home against rival Nebraska, which normally would make me hesitant in taking them in this spot. However, that game isn't until Oct. 8, which should prevent Missouri from looking ahead. Take the Tigers to cover the points tonight in an easy victory.
