1*LA Dodgers +126
3*** Tulsa -7
randy wood +42 units since 9/1!!
1* Tulsa Spread -7 -130 at UTEP
I wish I would have locked in on this game when it was -7 but the line has moved to -7.5 or -8 everywhere. I don't normally buy more than a half point but today I will buy full point and risk 1.3 units to win 1 unit.
lillefty - 8-2-1 in MLB playoffs
1* philly/dodgers over 8.5
I will admit this is based more on just the way Hamels is pitching and both bullpens haven't been good. It isn't Padilla who I base this play on.
This series has seen 3 of the first 4 games sail over the total despite there being some strong starting pitching. Hamels will not fit into that strong starter mold right now. He is struggling and I will keep betting either against him or on the over until I see any sign that he can right the ship. The dodgers hit him very well last time out and that just continued a string of subpar outings from Hamels. I really believe that he believed all his press clippings and just isn't that hungry this year. Padilla is really due for a bad start as he just isn't as good as he has pitched in the last month. I think seeing him twice in a week will make the Philly hitters more likely to knock him around a little.
1* tulsa/UTEP under 60
Tulsa has went under every game as their rep as the best offense in Coll football still stays with them. This year scoring is down overall. Tulsa has a semi strong defense so far. When playing weak competition like they are tonight, They allowed 10 to rice, 3 to samford, 10 to new mexico, and 13 to tulane.
Utep will need a strong showing here to keep whatever faint hopes they have of remaing competitive in Conf USA. Believe it or not they were preseason pick to be in the hunt for Conference title. Their defense has been lit up like a xmas tree the last 3 weeks but Tulsa just isn't as explosive as they have been in previous years. With a win over Houston already, a win over Tulsa will put them in the drivers seat in their division.
I think a 44-10 score happens if Tulsa wins going away. If UTEP keeps this game close it wont be in a shoot out, it will be more like a 30-21 type of game. Either way this game stays under.
Let's cash!!
