Service Plays Friday 9/10/10

[Can'tPickaWinner2]

The Rx.com Mod Team has created this Service Play sub-forum in order to supply an area for Rx Service Play Posters to expand upon their posting topics without creating a logjam in the main forum where the three principle threads are maintained..

Posters can track services here if they care to but we will need any trackers to do so in an accurate and civil manner. We did not create this area for posters to ridicule or bash any services..

You can also discuss who is hot and who is not. The general state of the pay for plays industry and any other subject or topic related to service plays.

You can also create individual threads about specific services and discuss them freely but civilly. Again bashing and abusive treatment of any services will not be tolerated.

Please remember, this forum is not here for regular posters who cap their own games to post ther daily plays. Please use our individual sport forums to post your plays. Professional cappers (those that sell plays) must remain in the Site Promotion Forum.

The Rx.com will not tolerate posters that post false records of any services they track. Please be truthful if you decide to track a particular service.

Lastly The Rx Moderators are appealing to you our everyday posters to report any promotional threads or posts that are made by services or individual touts. No links or contact information to an individual service will be allowed. Just the name of the service. Please report any threads or posts that are promotional attempts by services and touts to use this forum to promote themselves..

Posters can easily report a promotional post by using the triangular Report-a-Post Icon at the bottom left of all post boxes. The poster name of any poster who reports a post that is out of line will be kept strictly confidential.

I will leave this thread open for a month to take questions and do my best to answer them. I will check in daily but am off on Wednesday and Thursday.

I hope this additional Service Play Forum will satisfy those posters that would like to widen the scope of topics relating to service plays and the industry in general to have their own threads. Mods will be liberal as possible regarding topics but this forum was specifically created to allow you more freedom to express your ideas regarding service plays and related subject matter. No off topic threads will be allowed.

Thank you, wilheim

Streaking and Slumping Pitchers

Streaking

Carlos Zambrano (7-6, 4.23 ERA) Chicago Cubs

Maybe all the Cubs' pitchers should go through anger management counseling. It certainly has worked for the formerly hot-headed Zambrano.

Z is 4-0 with a 1.98 ERA since returning to the Cubs' rotation and he has won three straight starts for the first time in more than a year.

The hard-throwing righty has 23 strikeouts to only seven walks over his last three outings.

J.A. Happ (6-2, 2.86 ERA) Houston Astros

Happ has found a happy home at Houston, where he is 3-0 at home and 3-0 in his last three starts overall after being traded to the Astros from the Phillies.

Happ had a complete-game sutout against the Cardinals last week to improve to 4-0 with a blistering 0.84 ERA at Minute Maid Park this season.


Slumping

Roy Halladay (17-10, 2.36 ERA) Philadelphia Phillies

Halladay hasn't been his same dominant self over his last three starts, going 1-2 with a 4.29 ERA over that span.

Those numbers might not land most pitchers on the slumping list but you have to grade Halladay on a curve. He's allowed 23 hits, 10 earned runs and seven homers during those 21 innings. In his previous six starts he allowed only seven earned runs and one homer.

Jered Weaver (11-11 3.14 ERA) Los Angeles Angels

Weaver has lost four consecutive decisions but hasn't exactly been getting much run support from his teammates.

Weaver has allowed 14 earned runs over his last 26 innings. The Halos have scored just one run in those games.

 

[Can'tPickaWinner2]

Hot Lines: Today's best MLB bets

Tampa Bay Rays at Toronto Blue Jays (-130, 9)

Rays manager Joe Maddon set a lofty goal for his starting rotation before the season - 1,000 total innings. The Rays are on target, but that's no necesasrily a good thing.

Starting pitching has carried the Rays this season bu signs of fatigue are starting to show. Only one starter has lasted more than six innings in their last eight games.

"Our pitching has carried us all year, if you ask me," Rays outfielder B.J. Upton said. "They set expectations for themselves in spring training, and so far, they've lived up to them."

James Shields takes the hill today after recently becoming the team's all-time wins leader, but he was hammered by Baltimore in his last outing and lasted just 4 1/3 innings.

Toronto counters with young lefty Brett Cecil, whom the Jays have carefully paced this season. The Rays are batting just .196 against lefties in their last 10 games.

Pick: Blue Jays


Philadelphia Phillies at New York Mets (210, 7.5)

The Phillies relied on pitching to get them a tough stretch of injuries and a long slump in hitting, but the team is starting to get healthy and hot at the right time.

The Phillies have won 11 of their last 14 games overall and 12 of their last 14 on the road to overtake the Atlanta Braves for the lead in the NL East. And their just getting started.

"I definitely feel like we've got a good run in us," Phillies amanager Charlie Manuel said. "I feel like we can play better than we have at any time this year because we have all of our players back. We're more solid. We're more equipped to do that."

A resurgent offense deserves much of the credit. They are batting .288 and averaging almost six runs per game over their last 10 outings.

Shane Victorinia (.444), Chase Utley (.368) and Ryan Howard (.316 with five homers) have increased their production during that stretch and should keep swinging a hot stick against Mets' reliever Jenrry Mejia, who is making his first start of the season.

Phillies starter Roy Halladay has been struggling lately, allowing 10 earned runs and seven homers in his last three starts, but should get enough run support in this one.

Pick: Over

Bettors' best friend: Friday's wagering tips

Lines to keep an eye on

Mariners at Angels: Total opened at 7 but has climbed to 7.5.

Red Sox at Athletics: Total opened at 7 but has slipped to 6.5.

UTEP at Houston: Houston opened at -16.5 but are now listed as -20 favorite at most books.

Weather to watch

No weather concerns.

Who's hot

Phillies are 12-2 in last 14 on road.

Padres are 9-2 in last 11 vs. Giants.

Twins are 8-1 in their last nine.

Rockies have won six in a row.

Who's not

Pirates are 9-45 in their last 54 road games.

Cardinals are 1-7 in their last eight on the road.

Dodgers are 1-7 in their last eight.

Reds and Rangers are 1-5 in their last six.

Key stat

210 - Total bases by Atlanta Braves rookie Jason Heyward, surpassing Hank Aaron for second on the team's all-time list for players age 20 or younger. He needs 26 more to tie Eddie Matthews at 236.

Injury that shouldn't be overlooked

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Jim Thome was scratched from the lineup for Wednesday's game against Kansas City with a mild abdominal strain and is listed as day-to-day. The 40-year-old slugger is hitting .278 with 22 home runs and 52 RBIs this season. He will likely be replaced by Jose Morales in the lineup.

Game of the day

New York Yankees at Texas Rangers (-145, 9.5)

Notable quotable

"I am the best back in the league and he is not. I don't think it's close."

Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson told the Tennessean when asked to compare himself to Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson.

Tips and notes

West Virginia has dominated Marshall ever since they renewed the "Coal Bowl" rivalry four years ago, but this time the Thundering Herd have a little inside info. First-year coach Doc Holliday (no, not that Doc Holliday) is not only a WVU grad, he served two stints as an assistant in Morgantown, most recently as associate head coach under Bill Stewart. He had a big hand in recruiting the current crop of Mountaineers and game-planning, so his knowledge may go a long way for the Herd.

Georgia junior wideout A.J. Green was suspended by the NCAA on Wednesday for the team's next three games as a condition of becoming eligible again. The ban comes after the NCAA examined whether he broke rules by selling a game-worn jersey. Georgia will appeal the decision but no decision will be made before Green misses Saturday's contests against 24th-ranked South Carolina. In last year's 41-37 win over the Gamecocks Green caught six passes for 86 yards and a touchdown.

Three days before the season opener against the Cincinnati Bengals and New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has already taken his hardest hit of the year. Brady was involved in a two-car accident Thursday morning but was uninjured. The crash occurred on the corner of Commonwealth Avenue and Gloucester Street in Boston. The jaws of life were used to remove the driver of the other vehicle and Brady was visibly "shaken" but he refused to go to a hospital.

Oakland Raiders running back Michael Bush sat out Thursday's practice, increasing the likelihood he will miss Sunday's season opener against the Tennessee Titans. Bush practiced Tuesday and Wednesday despite nursing a thumb injury. Coach Tom Cable said he wanted to keep tabs on the status of Bush's injury before determining whether he would play Sunday's opener. RB Darren McFadden is expected to get the bulk of the carries even if Bush is able to play.

Friday's Best CFB Bets

West Virginia Mountaineers vs. Marshall Thundering Herd (-13, 46.5)

West Virginia state bragging rights are on the line in Huntington on Friday night, as the West Virginia Mountaineers and Marshall Thundering Herd will meet in college football betting action.

WVU has its share of problems that it needs to address and address in a hurry if it has any desire of making a BCS bowl game this year. The Mountaineers have a prospective problem in the passing game right now, as QB Geno Smith probably should be doing better than 20-of-27 for 216 yards with two TDs and a pick against a team like Coastal Carolina. The ball just was never forced up the field during a defense that really should’ve had no answers. There is plenty of good to go around as well. WR Jock Sanders did his job to help out his first time quarterback, catching eight passes for 71 yards and a TD. RB Noel Devine made a nice early statement in the Heisman Trophy race, as he put together 23 carries for 111 yards and a TD. The defense also did a fantastic job, even though there should’ve never been a doubt about that. The Mountaineers held the Chanticleers to 186 total yards on the day. Coastal Carolina only went 2-for-14 on third down and had nine first downs to speak of.

Marshall fought tooth and nail against the Ohio State Buckeyes last week, but when push came to shove, it was simply outmatched on both sides of the ball. QB Brian Anderson deserves a ton of credit for doing everything he could to try to move the pigskin on the Buckeyes, but he just didn’t stand a chance, going 17-of-28 for 135 yards with an INT. He faced the wrath of a relentless pass rush all night long that Ohio State had to offer. The rushing attack was shut down as well, as the only man that reached double digits in yards was RB Martin Ward, who had a tame 32 yards on six totes of the ball. The defense was flat out run over as well, something that HC Doc Holliday won’t be tolerating this week in the home opener. The Buckeyes managed a hefty 529 yards of offense on the day. The only score came on a blocked field goal returned for a touchdown, which only seemed to further upset the hosts on the opening night of the season. Ohio State scored the final 31 points of the game from that point forward.

This Thundering Herd squad is still a year or two away, and Holliday knows it. This is a series that the Mountaineers have historically dominated, and this week shouldn’t be any exception. Devine should run wild, and WVU should post its fifth straight win in this series by at least 17 points.

Pick: West Virginia Mountaineers -13


UTEP Miners vs. Houston Cougars (-20, 74.5)

Last season, the BCS hopes for the Houston Cougars disappeared on the back of a bad loss to the UTEP Miners. This year, they’ll look for some revenge, as these two teams duke it out in a nationally televised college football betting shootout in the Lone Star State.

Only beating Arkansas Pine Bluff 31-10 last week was nothing for the Miners to really be proud of. The only thing that they could possibly hang their hat on is the fact that RB Donald Buckram, who ran wild in this series last year, didn’t play. Buckram is listed as questionable with a knee injury for the date with the Cougs on Friday, and if he doesn’t play, UTEP will be hard pressed to find a victory. The depth is there at running back, but though RB Joseph Banyard (19 carries, 94 yards, 2 TDs) and RB Vernon Frazier (6 carries, 89 yards, 2 TDs) both put up solid games last week, the Golden Lions don’t nearly pose the same sort of threat that the Cougars do. Houston will force UTEP to score and score quite often in order to come away with yet another huge upset in Conference USA play. QB Trevor Vittatoe had a fantastic game against Houston’s porous defense last year, but his start to the season was mediocre at best, as he went 17-of-27 for 229 yards with no scores and an INT against Arkansas Pine Bluff.

We really haven’t learned a lot about the Cougars yet this season, as we already knew that their offense was great and their defense stunk. Both were accentuated last week in a 68-28 win over Texas State. QB Case Keenum might have thrown five TD passes, but he didn’t exactly make the strongest Heisman Trophy case in the world in Week 1. Keenum only threw for 274 yards and did toss a pair of INTs against a team that otherwise would have had no shot of stopping this offense. Last year, the Miners racked up over 500 yards of offense on this Houston defense, and this could be a similar situation again in 2010, especially if Texas State’s 345 yards and 11-for-20 on third downs is an indicator. Someone has to step up for the Houston defense, or it will have to win games by scoring 50+ points all season long, and though Keenum is capable of doing that, inevitably, if he has a down game or makes a mistake or two, the Cougars are going to be in a lot of trouble.

These two teams have only met in Houston twice before, with the hosts winning 42-37 in 2008 and 34-17 in 2006. UTEP has now covered the spread in three straight in this series, and we can’t help but wonder if it will become four on Friday night. This defense just scares the you know what out of us for Houston, as we know that the Miners, with or without Buckram, are probably putting 400+ yards on the board. The backdoor could be left wide open for a 24 point game to become a cover in the dying moments. There are too many possibilities that could happen to lay this type of chalk.

Pick: UTEP Miners +20
