The Yellow Jackets are a bit more experienced all-around and they should be able to control this game on the ground, while their defense will cause all sorts of problems for the Tigers' rookie quarterback. Expect Tech to come out on top in a physical ACC matchup in Atlanta.

909) MINNESOTA TWINS
(910) TORONTO BLUE JAYS
Take "(909) MINNESOTA TWINS"
Scott Baker has never beaten the Blue Jays, but I believe he'll end that streak here. Baker has been rock solid for the Twins, and he owns a substantial edge over Jays rookie Brett Cecil, who sure looks like he's about gassed at this point. The Twins are in need of every win right now to maintain any hopes of catching the Tigers, and I like them to earn an important victory here.

3 Unit Pick #907 Take Atlanta (+1.10) over Houston (Sept. 10, 8:05)
I will back Derek Lowe and the Braves here, Houston starter Rou Oswalt has had his problems vs. the Braves having never beaten them the only National League team he has not defeated and has posted a 6.18 era in six career starts. His health has been a question mark too leaving in the seventh inning in his last start with a tight back and spending some time on the disabled list in July. Lowe has been a solid pick up for the Braves, he keeps the ball down and doesn’t walk many , tough for me to pass up on him here at a dog price.
Thanks and Good Luck dave-Busky

Philadelphia Phillies (79-58) at Washington Nationals (47-92)
(R) Joe Blanton (9-6) vs. (R) Livan Hernandez (7-10)
Let's go with the Phillies again tonight for a three-game sweep against the gloomy Nationals. The Phillies have won eight straight contests over the Nationals and the last six in Washington. The struggling Nationals are a horrible 1-10 in their last 11 games, 2-10 in its last 12 at home.
Philadelphia Phillies -185

Game: San Antonio Silver Stars @ Sacramento Monarchs - Thursday September 10, 2009 10:00 pm
Pick: 4 unit(s) TOTAL: Under 158.5 (-110) (Normal)
The San Antonio Silver Stars and the Sacramento Monarchs are reaching the conclusion of disappointing seasons. The Silver Stars are the only Western Conference team the Monarchs have beaten twice on the season, so they will be playing with revenge here as they have dropped 2 straight, and that means defense for San Antonio. sacramento has proven vulnerable all season to teams that want to play defense, and I will go with the under in this one.

Game: Seattle Mariners @ Los Angeles Angels - Thursday September 10, 2009 10:05 pm
Pick: 3 unit(s) TOTAL: Over 8 (-110) (Game of the Month)
Writeup: For a number of different reasons I feel we're getting good value on the "over" in this situation: Atlanta pitcher Derek Lowe took a loss against the Reds on Friday; he tossed seven innings, allowing three earned runs on seven hits. Lowe struck out five and walked two, giving up one homer and his ERA dropped slightly to 4.36 with the performance; his ERA raises to 4.87 on the road. Two of his last three starts have gone "over" the number and I look for this trend to continue this evening. His counterpart is Roy Oswalt; Atlanta remains the only NL opponent, besides Houston, that the right-hander has never beaten. He’s 0-2 with a 6.18 ERA in six starts; the total has gone over in two of Oswalt's last three games as well. Although Atlanta has had problems putting points on the board the last few games, it is in fact interesting to note that the Braves have seen the total go over the posted number in 53 of 86 vs. right-handed starters on the year. Look for the Braves to turn things around at the plate as they pursue their first series win in over two weeks; good value on the OVER! *7*
