Service Plays Thursday 9/30/10

[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

Chris Volstad (11-9, 4.93 ERA), Florida Marlins

Florida has won six of Volstad’s last seven starts and the 6-foot-8 right-hander is coming off back-to-back shutouts after suffering through two tough outings before that. Volstad fired a complete-game five-hitter on Sept. 20 in booking a 4-0 win over the Cardinals and then followed that up with 6 2/3 innings of shutout ball in a 4-0 victory over Milwaukee.


Slumping

Barry Enright (6-6, 3.73 ERA), Arizona Diamondbacks

Enright has been streaky lately. He won three straight starts, allowing just three total runs, between Aug. 21-Sept. 1, but has lost four consecutive outings since then. During the skid he gave up at least five runs in three of those games with only five total strikeouts. Enright gave up two earned runs over eight innings in a tough 3-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers the last time he took the hill.

Chris Carpenter (15-9, 3.31 ERA), St. Louis Cardinals

Carpenter is usually stuck up higher in this piece in the Streaking section, but the big right-hander has dropped four consecutive starts and five of his last six heading into Wednesday’s start against Colorado. He lasted just four innings in his last outing against the Chicago Cubs, giving up five runs – two earned – while walking four.

Hot Lines: Today's best MLB bets

Toronto at Minnesota (-155, 8)

The Minnesota Twins continue to prep their lineup for the postseason as they host the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday. The club sent Jim Thome (back) and J.J. Hardy (knee) back to Minnesota earlier this week so that they could do their rehab work at Target Field, while Joe Mauer is plotting his return any day now.
Mauer has been out since jamming his knee on Sept. 19 and could return in a limited basis as the team’s DH before he sets up behind the plate again. Twins manager Ron Gardenhire expects Thome, Hardy, and Mauer all to get back in the lineup before the team’s final series of the regular season. Until then, they’ll play the backups and hope their big three gets healthy in a hurry.

Pick: Jays


Chicago Cubs at San Diego (-155, 7.5)

The record doesn’t lie: Chicago has been a much better team since Mike Quade took over as interim manager from Lou Piniella last month, going 21-11. Quade has done a great job with a team that went into full-out sell mode at the trade deadline and has also had to deal with a couple serious injuries down the stretch to Tyler Colvin and Geovany Soto.

“He's done a great job and I hope that he's here longer than just this year," Ryan Dempster told the Chicago Tribune. "I hope he's managing for us next year because he deserves it. He's done everything they've asked, and everyone in here really likes him."

Pick: Over

Bettors' best friend: Thursday's wagering tips

Weather to watch

Detroit Tigers at Baltimore Orioles – 100 percent chance of rain. Winds at 22 mph blowing eastward toward third base.
Milwaukee Brewers at New York Mets – 90 percent chance of rain. Winds at 21 mph blowing from the east toward third base.

Who’s hot

Chicago Cubs have won 10 of their last 14.
Detroit Tigers have won nine of their last 12 meetings with the Baltimore Orioles.
Cincinnati Reds are 13-4 in their last 17 home games.
Colorado Rockies are 11-1 in their last 12 meetings with the St. Louis Cardinals.

Who’s not

Texas A&M is 17-36-1 ATS over their last 54 road games.
Arizona Diamondbacks are 15-40 in their last 55 road games.
Chicago White Sox are 1-7 in their last eight home games.
Toronto Blue Jays are 4-10 in their last 14 road games.
Oakland Athletics are 7-19 in their last 26 games at Seattle.

Key stat

4.55 – the New York Yankees’ team ERA in September, which is up from their season ERA of 4.00. The Yanks are just 12-14 this month and endured tough starts from CC Sabathia, A.J. Burnett, and Andy Pettitte. They had a 2 ½-game lead over the Tampa Bay Rays but dropped five of six after that. They clinched their 15th playoff berth in 16 seasons with a 6-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Mario Manningham (concussion), New York Giants – The wide receiver complained of concussion symptoms Sunday night, but the team wasn’t sure how serious his concussion was initially. Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News tweeted that Manningham was still experiencing symptoms on Wednesday, so his status for Sunday night’s game when the Giants host the Chicago Bears as 4-point underdogs appears to be in doubt. Manningham has been New York’s most consistent receiver this season with 14 catches for 238 yards and a touchdown. Victor Cruz will likely see some snaps if Manningham is out.

Game of the day

Texas A&M at No. 24 Oklahoma State

Notable quotable

"It is one of the biggest mysteries in all of college football. You stand there on a Friday night and watch the entire stadium packed for Midnight Yell practice and the 12th Man and all of that. And they're the second-biggest program in the state of Texas. How can they not transform that into success on the field?" – Analyst Lee Corso on Texas A&M’s struggles. The Aggies haven’t finished a season ranked in the Top 25 since 1999.

Notes and tips

Jake Delhomme (high ankle sprain) could be back in the mix at quarterback for the Cleveland Browns this week as they host the Cincinnati Bengals as 3-point underdogs. He didn’t practice Wednesday, but is expected back on the field Thursday or Friday and to be fit to go Sunday – should Eric Mangini decide that Delhomme’s a better choice. He had a 59.2 quarterback rating in a Week 1 loss to Tampa Bay before hitting the shelf, going 20-of-37 for 227 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions.

New Jersey Nets team officials say that the rumored four-team trade that would have brought Carmelo Anthony to New Jersey is finally dead. The Star-Ledger reports that two separate team sources confirmed that the Anthony deal wasn’t going through and that the club had set a deadline of today for the Denver Nuggets. The two teams had been in serious negotiations for a few weeks and word has it New Jersey had offered just about everyone on its roster save for center Brook Lopez.

The Montreal Canadiens have finally decided on a new captain. Brian Gionta was named the franchise’s 28th captain on Tuesday after the team went without one last season. Gionta had 21 goals and 46 points in 61 games last year. The Canadiens are 5-3-2 in preseason play and are priced at +3000 to win the Stanley Cup this year.

Texas A&M At Oklahoma State: What Bettors Need To Know

Texas A&M at Oklahoma State (-3, 66)

Two undefeated but unproven teams collide Thursday, when Texas A&M visits Oklahoma State in a primetime Big 12 showdown on ESPN.

Neither the Cowboys (3-0) nor the Aggies (3-0) have played an opponent of any significance. Oklahoma State has compiled fat offensive numbers … against the defenses of Washington State, Troy and Tulsa. A&M is among the nation’s top-ranked defenses … after slowing down the vaunted offenses of Stephen F. Austin, Louisiana Tech and Florida International.

Talk about meaningless statistics.

The Cowboys, who returned just eight starters, were picked to finish near the bottom of the Big 12 South. The Aggies, who returned 16 starters, are expected to challenge Oklahoma and Texas.

Oklahoma State has won the past two meetings with the Aggies by average score of 46-29. But the Cowboys have never beaten A&M three straight games.

THE LINE

Oddsmakers certainly don’t believe either team has a significant advantage. They opened the Cowboys as 3.5-point home favorites. It quickly dropped to -3, as the half-point hook seems valuable in what’s expected to be a close game that easily could be decided by a field goal.

Since 2000, Texas A&M is 9-22 ATS as a road dog, Oklahoma State is 20-11 ATS as a home favorite the past 10 seasons.

THE TOTAL

The total started popping up as high as 68 at some books. It had dropped slightly, to around 66.5, as of Wednesday morning.

The last three meetings have averaged a combined 66 points, including last year’s 36-31 Oklahoma State victory.

The Cowboys are averaging 59 points per game and allowing 27.67. A&M is averaging 41 points per game and is allowing 14.33. But, again, those stats have come against weak competition.

The over is 20-6-1 in the Aggies last 27 games as a road underdog.

Weather is not forecast to play a role.

INJURIES

A&M star linebacker/defensive end Von Miller, who led the nation in sacks last season, has been battling ankle injuries and has yet to record a sack. Miller will play, but is not expected to be at 100 percent.

Oklahoma State starting defensive tackle Shane Jarka has missed the last two games and is questionable against A&M.

QUARTERBACK

Oklahoma State first-year starter Brandon Weeden has been spectacular. The 6-4, 224-pound pocket passer is completing 73 percent of his attempts with 11 touchdowns and just three interceptions. Thursday’s game is the biggest start of his career, but the 26-year-old ex-minor league baseball player has shown no signs of cracking so far.

A&M’s Jerrod Johnson was picked as the Big 12 preseason offensive player of the year. Now in his third season, Johnson has developed into one of the nation’s best dual-threat QBs. He did, however, struggle against Florida International, completing just 11 of 31 passes and throwing four interceptions. There was some concern that his surgically-repaired shoulder was bothering him, but coach Mike Sherman denied those rumors this week.

BATTLE IN THE TRENCHES

Texas A&M has struggled protecting Johnson this season. The Aggies have surrendered 3.33 sacks per game (111th in the nation).

Oklahoma State’s defense has been average at getting to the quarterback with two sacks per game. But how much do you need to blitz in the second half of blowouts like the Cowboys have experienced?

Noting the Aggies’ protection struggles, expect OSU to bring more pressure Thursday.

The Cowboys’ O-line also will be tested, especially when trying to open holes for playmaking running back Kendall Hunter. A Heisman candidate entering last season, Hunter battled through an injury-played junior season. He appears to be back at full strength this season and is averaging 7.9 yards per carry.
A&M counters with the nation’s fourth-ranked run defense and are allowing only 69 yards on the ground.

Hunter did not play against the A&M game last season. The Aggies held him to 90 yards in 2008.

Texas A&M Aggies vs. Oklahoma State Cowboys Preview

On the ESPN Thursday night game in a battle of a couple of undefeated Big 12 teams the Oklahoma State Cowboys (3-0) host the Texas A&M Aggies (3-0). College football lines have Oklahoma State as 3-point favorites in this game and there is no total at time of writing.

This game is the first one for each team in conference play and each should be ready since neither team played last week.

Man, this game may be a shootout, as Oklahoma State ranks 2nd in the nation in passing yards per game and the Aggies rank 15th. However, while both teams have a great offense the defense is a different issue, as Texas A&M ranks 10th in the nation while OSU only ranks 78th.

The Aggies have not beaten the Cowboys since the 2007 season.

In these teams’ last games Oklahoma State looked awesome on offense laying a 65-28 beat down on Tulsa while Texas A&M may have been a bit lucky in beating Florida International 27-20. The reason they may have had some luck on their side is that they won the game against FIU, but they committed 5 turnovers. If they play sloppy like that against the Cowboys the Aggies will not be leaving Stillwater with a win.

Heading into this game both teams are 2-1 ATS.

Texas A&M will have to deal with an Oklahoma State offense that had an amazing 722 yards including 574 passing yards in their win over Tulsa.

Oklahoma St. and their offense is led by QB Brandon Weeden, who was 23/32 for 409 yards with 6 TD and 0 INT in the win over Tulsa a couple weeks back. WR’s Justin Blackmon and Josh Cooper are his main targets and each of them averaged at least 20 yards per catch in the Tulsa game. Texas A+M vs. Oklahoma St. Week 5 Preview & Pick

Texas A&M does have a great D, but they are actually better defending the run than the pass, which is not good for them in this game. Their pass defense ranks 50th in the nation, but they played well in their win over Florida International only allowing them to gain 117 yards in the air.

OSU is not all about the pass, as they also have a solid rushing offense, which ranks 31st in the nation. RB Kendall Hunter is their main guy in the backfield and he is a duel threat back and in the game against Tulsa he rushed for 59 yards and also caught 3 passes for 59 yards.

Hunter and the OSU rushing attack will not have an easy time picking up yards on the ground since the Aggies have the nation’s 4th ranked run defense.

The Texas A&M offense is led by QB Jerrod Johnson and if he plays like he did against Florida International the Aggies have no chance to win. In that win he was picked off 4 times only going 11/31 even though he did have 194 passing yards with a TD.

Johnson is a solid QB, but had an off game and he will be pitted up against an Oklahoma St. pass defense that only ranks 82nd in the nation and allowed Tulsa to pick up 229 yards in the air.

Much like OSU Texas A&M is not one-dimensional on offense, as they rank 30th in the nation in rushing yards per game. RB Christine Michael is the featured back and, unlike Johnson, he had a good game against Florida International with 119 yards and a TD. If he can have a big game it will really help the Aggies, as it will help keep the dynamic offense of Oklahoma St. off the field.

OSU’s strength on defense, albeit not a major one, is defending the run since they rank 55th in the nation in rushing defense and in the Tulsa game they gave up 199 yards on the ground.

The Aggies have the defense, but even though the Cowboys do not have a great defense they simply have too many weapons on offense to be stopped, especially at home. The Cowboys will come out firing and win this game and cover the spread going to 1-0 in the Big 12.

Texas A&M is 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss, 2-6-1 ATS in their last 9 games as an underdog, and has an Over record of 4-1 in their last 5 games as an underdog.
Oklahoma State is 3-8-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record and has an Over record of 4-0 in their last 4 games as a home favorite.

In the last 6 games between these 2 teams the total has gone Over 5 times.

Pick: Oklahoma State -3

CKO

11 *OKLAHOMA ST. over Texas A&M
Don’t look for a lot of defense in this one, as these two Big XII South rivals are still working to add athletes to their stop units so they can compete with the likes of Texas & Oklahoma. Offense these two teams have, however, and plenty of it. But pointspread is cheap enough to take a chance on the explosive home team, which boasts weapons such as RB Kendall Hunter (158 ypg rushing), QB Brandon Weeden (11 TDs, 2 ints.), and WR Justin Blackmon (24 recs., 8 TDs). Yes, the stats for their Aggie counterparts are nearly as gaudy. However, the A&M defense “traveled” so poorly LY (47 ppg) that we can’t count on that unit to hold the fort very often vs. new, creative Cowboy offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen. Insiders say the Aggies still have some concerns about the shoulder of QB Jerrod Johnson, who had surgery in the offseason. A&M has had nine turnovers its last two games vs. La Tech and Florida International. Such sloppiness will be fatal on this field.
