Service Plays Monday 9/20/10

[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

NFL Capsule: New Orleans at San Francisco

NEW ORLEANS (1-0) At SAN FRANCISCO (0-1)
Monday, 8:30 p.m., ESPN

OPENING LINE - Saints by 4 1/2

RECORD VS. SPREAD - New Orleans 1-0-0; San Francisco 0-1-0

SERIES RECORD - 49ers lead 45-23-2

LAST MEETING - Saints beat 49ers 31-17, Sept. 28, 2008

LAST WEEK - Saints beat Vikings 14-9; 49ers lost to Seahawks 31-6

SAINTS OFFENSE - OVERALL (16), RUSH (25), PASS (14)

SAINTS DEFENSE - OVERALL (8), RUSH (14), PASS (10)

49ERS OFFENSE - OVERALL (24), RUSH (29T), PASS (15)

49ERS DEFENSE - OVERALL (6), RUSH (7), PASS (12T)

STREAKS, STATS AND NOTES - Saints try to begin 2-0 in back-to-back seasons for first time in franchise history. ... They've won last five meetings with 49ers, but five of last six matchups were played in Superdome. ... Saints last visited Candlestick Park on Oct. 28, 2007 (winning 31-10). ... Teams are former longtime rivals in NFC West before NFL realignment in 2002. ... Saints QB Drew Brees coming off 14-9 opening win over Vikings in which he completed 27 of 36 passes for 237 yards and a touchdown and connected with nine different players. Brees had QB rating of 101.3, the 30th time in 64 regular season games with the Saints that his rating was above 100. ... Saints' 14 points were their fewest in a win since Sean Payton took over as coach in 2006. ... New Orleans had 33:43 to 26:17 edge in time of possession against Minnesota. Saints have had plenty of prep time considering they opened Sept. 9 against Brett Favre and Vikings. ... Saints defense held Vikings to 253 total yards. San Francisco managed 263 in season-opening 31-6 loss at Seattle. ... 49ers committed eight penalties in Week 1. ... San Francisco looks for more from RB Frank Gore, who had 38 yards on 17 carries vs. Seahawks. QB Alex Smith, too. He went 26 for 45 for 225 yards and no TDs for dismal 52.5 passer rating in opener.

Streaking and Slumping Pitchers

Streaking

Cole Hamels (11-10, 3.01 ERA), Philadelphia Phillies

This former World Series MVP is peaking at just the right time for the Phillies. Hamels is 4-0 in his last four starts and he struck out 13 in 6 2/3 innings his last time out on the bump.

"He's locked in right now. It's fun to see," Phillies closer Brad Lidge told the Associated Press. "He has complete command and confidence with all his pitches."

Oddsmakers are pricing Hamels pretty high these days, so a look at the under might be the better option. The Phils have played below the total in seven of the southpaw’s last eight appearances.

Jered Weaver (12-11, 2.91 ERA), Los Angeles Angels

Weaver entered the season as a questionable No. 1 but he’s proven he’s a bona fide ace. The slumping Halos don’t always cash in when he takes the hill. The team is just 5-5 in his last 10 starts even though he allowed two runs or less in seven of those games.

A play on the total seems like another good option here. The under is 14-0-2 in Weaver’s last 16 starts.


Slumping

Gavin Floyd (10-13, 4.01 ERA), Chicago White Sox

Everything smells bad in the south side of Chicago these days and Gavin Floyd is no different. The White Sox are 2-5 in Floyd's last seven starts. The big righty has given up 22 hits and 11 earned runs in his last 11 1/3 innings pitched.

Hot Lines: Today's best MLB bets

Atlanta at Philadelphia (-165, 8)

The Atlanta Braves finally got the clutch hitting they thought they were getting when they traded for Derrek Lee. The first baseman hit a two-out grand slam in the seventh inning to give the Braves a 6-3 win over the Mets on Sunday afternoon. The win moved Atlanta three games back of the Phillies heading into this week’s huge series.

"It's always nice when you feel one come off the bat like that," Lee told reporters. "It's no secret. These are big games. We need them all. It feels nice to contribute. This was a nice start to the road trip, these three games, but we've got to keep it going."

It was only Lee’s second home run since joining the Braves on Aug. 18.

Pick: Braves


Texas at Los Angeles Angels (-145, 7.5)

Texas slugger Josh Hamilton said his bruised ribcage was feeling a bit better on Sunday, but there’s still no timetable for his return. The Rangers should know more Monday when Hamilton has another examination.

"It feels better as far as everyday stuff like rolling over in bed and getting out of bed,” Hamilton told reporters Sunday. “This is the first day since I ran and swung a little bit [on Tuesday] that I've started feeling better. But it’s one of those things that when I start to feel better, if I try to do something, I have a setback.”

Hamilton is hitting .361 with 31 homers and 97 RBIs this year.

Pick: Angels

Bettors’ best friend: Monday’s wagering tips

Lines to watch
San Francisco 49ers opened as a 4.5-point underdog but are now listed as high as +6.

Weather to watch
No current weather concerns for Monday’s action.

Who’s hot
New Orleans Saints are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 meetings with the San Francisco 49ers.
St. Louis Cardinals are 12-4 in their last 16 meetings in Florida.
Philadelphia Phillies are 40-15 in their last 55.
Tampa Bay Rays are 10-1 in their last 11 Monday games.
Cincinnati Reds are 11-1 in their last 12 meetings with Milwaukee Brewers.
Minnesota Twins are 38-13 in their last 51.
Texas Rangers are 8-1 over their last nine.

Who’s not
Washington Nationals are 2-8 in their last 10.
Kansas City Royals are 6-22 in their last 28 road games.
Boston Red Sox are 2-7 in their last 9 road games.
Chicago White Sox are 15-37 in their last 52 meetings in Oakland.

Key stat
252 – Career home runs for Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard through 863 games. That is more dingers than anyone has had through that span in MLB history. Howard has 30 homers in 131 games this season.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked
Joe Mauer (knee) Minnesota Twins – Mauer left Sunday’s game with a jammed left knee and is considered day-to-day. Mauer sits second in the AL with a .331 batting average.

Game of the day
New Orleans at San Francisco 49ers (+5.5, 44)

Notable quotable
“I don’t know who’s gonna play quarterback next week. It won’t be me.” – Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin following Sunday’s 19-11 win over Tennessee. Denis Dixon fumbled twice before leaving the game with a knee injury. He’s scheduled for an MRI this week. Veteran Charlie Batch came into the game after Dixon left.

Tips and notes
The New Orleans Saints are 5-2 on Monday Night Football since Sean Payton came to town in 2006 and have won their last three MNF appearances dating back to 2008. This season’s schedule has been pretty sweet to the Saints so far. They haven’t played since the season opener on Sept. 9, leading some of the Saints to dub this stretch their bonus bye week.

San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis has given the New Orleans Saints some bulletin board material. “"I strongly believe we have the better team going into this game,'' Davis told reporters Saturday. “It's exciting because we know that they're competitive. But we're not worried about them being Super Bowl champion or anything like that." However, Saints are 10-2 against the spread in their last 12 matchups with the 49ers.

The Colorado Rockies have strengthened their bullpen by acquiring Octavio Dotel from the L.A. Dodgers for a player to be named later. Dotel had 22 saves in 28 opportunities with a 3.99 ERA this season. He won’t be on the club’s playoff roster, but should be a big help for the stretch run.

 

[Can'tPickaWinner2]

DAVE BLEZOW

LOCK OF THE WEEK: Saints. 1-0 in 2010, 29-9-1 last 39.

Saints (-51/2) over 49ERS: Sean Payton will have had 11 days to figure out why the Saints scored only 14 vs. the Vikings. This normally would be a bounce-back spot for the Niners off the loss in Seattle, but instead could be a similar beating.
