20* No-Doubt Rout on Minnesota Twins -135
Jump on the Twins over the Rangers on Sunday. Minnesota starter, Scott Baker has been a consistent winner for the Twins all season, and he's red hot lately, winning all 3 of his last 3 starts while earning a 2.11 ERA and 0.84 WHIP. Meanwhile, Rangers' starter Kevin Millwood has never beaten the Twins in his career, posting an 0-7 record with a 6.18 ERA in 11 starts against them, which includes one loss to Minnesota earlier this month. This series is split 1-1 so far, but I fully expect the Twins to end the set with a victory.

2 Unit Play. Take Over 38.5 between the Chicago Bears @ Denver Broncos (Sunday @ 8pm est). This game will have a regular season game type atmosphere. Given the off-season hooplah and drama, both teams will get an early look as to how they have fared since the trade. Granted, it is way too early to tell which team has fared better overall. Only time will tell. Nevertheless, this is the only game that is slated for Sunday and certainly emotions will be high as Cutler faces his old team in his old stadium and Orton faces his old team who comes to visit. And, bear in mind that there are many coaches and executives who took part in this deal so emotions will be high and all involved will want to show their best. Someone who was not at their best in their last contest was Kyle Orton. Orton struggled terribly at Seattle throwing 1 touchdown but four interceptions as Denver fell short 13-27. Cutler played well for the most part against the Giants at home throwing for nearly 200 years and one touchdown with one interception. Given that Cutler faces his old team, Orton faces his old team, Orton comes off a miserable performance, and this is the only game on Sunday - a night game at that, I expect there to be plenty of offense on display. More importantly, I expect for all involved to go for the win despite this game meaning nothing in the regular season win count - but it goes a long way for early pride. I look for both teams to top 20 points as this game likely goes over.

“2 UNIT” PRIMETIME FOOTBALL (Broncos -2 at home versus Bears in a 8:05 eastern kickoff broadcast on NBC-TV):
One has to wonder why winless and banged up Denver would be cast as a favorite even though this is their preseason home opener. The reason why NBC decided to broadcast tonight’s game on a national level is that Chicago quarterback Jay Cutler is making his grand return to Denver where he already has verbally slammed Broncos fans and will be booed heavily. New Denver head coach Josh McDaniels had the audacity to check into other available quarterbacks early in the summer which angered Cutler and ultimately led him to a “forced” trade to Chicago in exchange for Bears signal caller Kyle Orton. To make a long story short Denver fans attending early Bronco training camp practices were not impressed with Orton whose arm is not nearly as strong as that of the now departed Cutler. Those same Bronco fans already have been calling for reserve Chris Simms to take over as the team’s #1 signal caller. Basically this preseason home opener tonight is a chance for Orton to PROVE himself not only to local fans but to the entire nation as well. Tonight is also a huge chance for new head coach McDaniel to prove that he has not already “lost” his football team which has had its share of adversity. Not only did Cutler clash with his new head coach leading to an ouster, wide receiver Brandon Marshall was just suspended for the remainder of the preseason due to insubordination so the NBC announcers are going to have a lot to talk about tonight. As mentioned earlier one has to wonder why the oddsmakers would cast Denver as a favorite considering a recent INJURY bug that will force running backs Knowshon Moreno and Lamont Jordan to the SIDELINES tonight. Chicago comes in as an underdog even though they supposedly have the superior starting quarterback and are coming off an impressive 17-3 home victory against a very deep New York Giants squad. My database research indicates that Chicago is a horrible 2-12 ATS the last fourteen times they have come off a preseason victory in front of the “home” fans. Meanwhile Denver is on a 11-1 ATS roll when posting a below .500 exhibition record and 11-2 ATS/HOME when off a preseason outright defeat.

*200 Detroit Tigers -160
I am taking the Tigers at Home today for the win. I have several nice starter trends on Verlander that says he will get the job done. Justin Verlander is 18-1 SU when he starts as a home favorite and line is less than -170 and his opponent starter faced more than 25 hitters in his last start. Take the Tigers for the win.
*200 Los Angeles Dodgers -166
I am going back with the Dodgers today. The Red's starter Bronson Arroyo is terrible when he starts on Sunday, his record is 1-10 SU. I also have the Reds as 5-22 SU since 2005 as a 140+ dog after a loss in which they allowed 12+ hits. Finally, I have the Reds as 1-13 SU since 2005 as a 140+ dog after a loss in which they left 18+ men on base. Take the Dodgers for the away win.
*200 Kansas City Royals -136
I am taking the Royals for the Away Win. I have the Mariners as 10-25 SU since 2007 as a dog vs a team that has lost their last two games and it is not the first game of a series. Take the Royals for the Win.
*200 Minnesota Twins -146
I am going with the Twins for the Win. The Rangers are 10-29 SU since 2005 as a road dog after a win and it is the last game of a series. I also have the Twins as 22-7 SU since 2007 as a home favorite when they are off a loss in which they never led. Take the Twins at home for the Win.
*200 Dever Broncos -2.5
The Broncos have looked bad all preseason and the Bears looked very impressive last week versus the Giants. So why is the line reversing against the public. Denver opened up as a 1 point favorite. They only have 38% of the wagers and the line has dipped to 2.5. This wager is purely a line movemnt play. I still feel as if Chicago is the better team right now, but tonight the Broncos will cover this spread.
*200 Detroit Tigers -160
