<!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->Pittsburgh Steelers (PK) vs Buffalo Bills
Thursday, August 14th - 7:30PM EST
4 Units: Pittsburgh Steelers
The NFL heads North tonight as the Buffalo Bills play host to the Pittsburgh Steelers at the old SkyDome in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. While most pre-season games seem meaningless to us fans, and are usually meaningless to many teams, many individual players take games that don't count very serious. One guy that will take this game very seriously tonight is the Steelers latest last-minute aquisition at quarterback, Byron Leftwich. Leftwich lost his job in Jacksonville two seasons ago and didn't do much for the two months he played in Atlanta before being sidelined with an injury. When Charlie Batch went down last Friday night, Leftwich was presented with an opportunity. Not wanting to be used as a 4-6 week crutch and then released again, Byron insisted on a 1 year committment from the Steelers brass. Now he has something to prove. With Leftwich not playing in a game in nearly a year, many would suggest this plays out well for the Bills. I see it the exact opposite. Big Ben will play the majority if not all of the first quarter. Leftwich will take over and likely play the second and third quarters. The Steelers first team offense lead by Ben is far superior to the Bills first team defense and should be able to take an early lead. This will give Leftwich a cushion and allow him to play his game. Look for the Steelers to win, rather convincingly in the Rogers Center tonight. I'm going with a 4 Unit play on the black 'n gold!

Baseball Picks
8/14/2008
7:05:00 PM -1.5 RUNS,BOSTON RED SOX (Matsuzaka)
-vs- Texas Rangers (Hunter)
David malinsky MLB 4* BOSTON RED SOX Run Line -1.5 runs -140 vs Texas @ 7:05 PM ET - Matsuzaka vs Hunter - After giving up 27 runs in 16 Boston offensive innings so far in this series, it would seemingly be the case that the Ranger pitching staff has hit rock bottom. But that may not be true, as things go from awful to worse for Ron Washington tonight. Now with Vicente Padilla not ready to go he is forced to send 22-year old Tommy Hunter to the mound, the last thing he wants in the current feeding frenzy of the Red Sox bats. So once again we step in with the Run Line as a tool for an easy blowout. We are not sure that Hunter should be in the Major League?s at all. He began this season at Class A, and after stints there and at AA he worked only five games at AAA before getting an emergency call-up. It has meant a lot of travel and a lot of adjustments, and also a lot of innings - he is at 153 right now, with 150 being the level that Texas originally wanted to shut him down for the season. Instead he will be sent out for his third start, after the first two were total disasters in which he allowed 11 runs on 16 hits over just 9.2 innings. He does not have the savvy to deal with this lineup in this setting, and that once again means an early appearance for a struggling bullpen. Boston has no such issues on the mound. Daisuke Matsuzaka is on a 5-1/2.17 roll over his last eight starts, with opponents batting .198 in that span. Only once in that stretch did an opponent score more than two runs (the sizzling Angels), and in five of the outings he allowed one run or less. Now his task is made much easier by the likely absence of Josh Hamilton, and with Terry Francona able to get through last night?s win with the bottom of his bullpen, the right arms are in the right place for late-inning insurance here.

7:10:00 PM -1.5 RUNS,CHICAGO CUBS (Lilly)
-vs- Atlanta Braves (Glavine)

David MalinskyMLB 6* Chicago Cubs Run Line -1.5 runs +115 @ Atlanta @ 7:10 PM ET - Lilly vs Glavine - The first Ted Lilly/Tom Glavine encounter this season is one that we will remember fondly - it was a 6* Cub Run Line ticket in the +140 range that provided one of the biggest single-game payouts of the season in a 10-5 rout at Wrigley Field. This game has a chance to be more of the same, as we take advantage of a pitching mismatch that is wider than the market perceptions, and also by the major bias issues that each of these teams have vs. left-handed pitching (positive for the Cubs, negative for the Braves). Lilly got off to a slow start for Chicago this season, and as such his full-season numbers carry the burden of those early performances and do not fully reflect how good he has been. It has been an 11-3/3.55 since that 0-3 opening, and since the All Star break ian even better 2-0/2.76. We can confidently call for him to continue that form against a lineup lacking in right-handed punch, and with Kerry Wood now back in action, plus yesterday?s pair of blowouts not taxing the bullpen, the latter innings are in good hands as well. With Chipper Jones not 100 percent, and with Brian McCann schedule for a night off after playing both games yesterday, there is not much to fear from a team that scored only two runs yesterday, despite facing right-handed starters. Meanwhile Glavine is nothing more than a finesse pitcher at this stage of his career, and that means a lot of precision is required for him to be successful. And success has not been easy to find of late, with a 2-5/6.33 over his last 20 starts. Not having started in over two months, and with only nine innings of two rehab appearances, there is little reason to fear anything special from him here in terms of that precision, and he admits it as much himself when addressing those rehab outings - "Physically, I felt pretty good when I pitched. One game I felt good mechanically and the second game I didn't feel so good. Kind of like spring training in that regard ? you don't know what you're going to feel like." This is anything but the right team at the right time for Glavine?s return. the Cub right-handed trio of Alfonso Soriano, Derrek Lee and Aramis Ramirez has tagged him to a .369 lifetime tune, with seven home runs in 103 at-bats, and with Glavine unlikely to work deeply into this game there are bullpen issues galore - Buddy Carlyle (1.2 innings and 26 pitches), Vladimir Nunez (two and 53), Francisley Bueno (2.1 and 52), and Jeff bennett (two and 29) all came out of yesterday?s twin-bill loss carrying major fatigue ratings. Once again we get an underdog return in a matchup that can break wide open, and that means that we can elevate our play to take full advantage.



8/14/2008
10:10:00 PM UNDER 8.5 RUNS,LOS ANGELES DODGERS (Kuroda)
-vs- Philadelphia Phillies (Myers)
David Malinsky MLB 4* UNDER 8.5 runs in LA Dodgers vs Philadelphia @ 10:10 PM ET - Kuroda vs Myers - Last night?s 7-6 Dodger win in this series has set us up with a rather unique value line for tonight - despite the fact that both starting pitchers are a step up in class from the Wednesday hook-ups, the Total has actually been set higher. That means excellent value for our purposes. Brett Myers may not appear to be a step up with the 5-9/5.09 that the pitching forms show, but that Minor League stint did exactly what it was supposed to do - he regained his rhythm, and it has been a rock-solid 2-0/2.10 in his return, with only 16 hits allowed in 25.2 innings. He has pitched at an excellent efficiency level, with three straight starts of 12.6 Pitches-Per-Inning or less, and he did not have more fly-ball outs than ground-ball outs in any of those games. We can call for that form to continue against a Los Angeles lineup that continues to show a negative bias against right-handers, and the ability of Myers to churn innings helps to alleviate some of those Phillie bullpen issues. Meanwhile we lost a tough ticket in backing Hideki Kuroda in his last outing, a 3-2 Dodger defeat in extra innings at San Francisco, but the right-hander gave us exactly what we were looking for. The only run that the Giants scored in his eight innings came in bizarre fashion, with a batter reaching base on a strikeout being a key to that inning. Now having worked 15.1 innings over back-to-back strong starts (only 189 pitches needed, with just two walks), his rhythm is also where we want it. On the first look for a Phillie offense that has also had a negative bias against right-handers we can expect him to be a step ahead of the hitters all night.

Frauds

Anybody who picks up Kelso, Hurley, Winn ,etc. should lose their money. They send me stuff all the time. How do you go from 5*-10* picks to 100,000* picks. The ave. guy puts down a set amt. per unit, when a guy has been losing how do you put down a mill. on a gm., then when he wins, although he's 5-21 claims he's ahead units. I like the honest guys who limit their plays from smallest to largest to no more than 5X, that way we can stay in the game. 1-5 or 10-100 is ok; small to incredible is outrageous. I look for the guy who's biggest post is no more than 5-10X his smallest post so I can do my units per day. Just my opinion; I like VR who goes from 1-3* & RDS who goes from .5*-2.5*, even at 100 per pop it's not going to break you and they have positive records over time. Anybody picking up VR, haven't seen him posted in a while, give me a whistle. RDS is on the promo pg. and seems to be doing well. Good luck, Bill

double-dime bet966 LOS (-120)Sportsbetting.com vs 965 PHI
Analysis: Play On: L.A. Dodgers w/Kuroda vs Myers
Note: The Dodgers and Phillies conclude this 4-game series tonight when Hiroki Kuroda takes on Brett Myers in Los Angeles. The inclusion of Manny Ramirez' bat into the Dodger lineup has proven highly beneficial as they've scored 4 or more runs in ten their last eleven games. On the flip side Myers has been horrible hurling away from home, dropping 12 of his last 15 road starts. In his eight road starts this season he's issued 21 walks to go with 21 strikeouts. His 6.61 road ERA this season is more than three full runs worse than his 3.48 home ERA. Meanwhile, Kuroda's 3.29 home ERA ins nearly a run and half better than his 4.75 road ERA this season. With Kuroda owning a 1/30 strikeout to walk ratio in his last six home starts, look for the Dodgers to grab the win here tonight.
