Ben Burns

Kansas City Royals vs. Chicago White Sox

Bonus Play Kansas City Royals

With James Shields pitching, I'd expect the Royals to be a more heavy favorite, even on the road. Considering what's at stake in the final series of the year (KC looking for its first playoff appearance since '85), I'd expect them to be at their best Thursday. Having Shields on the mound certainly helps.

The Royals did lose yesterday, 6-4 in Cleveland. That kept the Indians alive in the Wild Card hunt. Along with Oakland, Kansas City has a 3-game lead over Seattle and a 3.5 game lead over Cleveland.

Even with Wednesday's loss, the Royals have a better record (44-33) on the road than at home (42-39). That should serve them well as they visit U.S. Cellular Field this weekend for four games. Kansas City has won five of its last six games on the South Side of Chicago. More recently, they took two of three from the White Sox last week.

Shields has been successful in his own right on the road. Over the last two seasons, he is 20-5 with a 2.48 ERA pitching away from Kauffman Stadium. Shields began September by not allowing a run in 15.1 innings, but has since allowed three runs in consecutive starts. While one of those was against the White Sox, fortunately the team still won. The same could not be said for the last time we saw him, which was Saturday vs. Detroit. But those last two starts were at home.

Jose Quintana and the White Sox should simply be no match here. Even though Quintana has pitched well of late, he's not Shields, who has a 0.79 WHIP this month and has dominated Chicago to the tune of a 2.67 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in four starts. 1* Free Flay.

Appalachian State vs. Georgia Southern

Appalachian State

Edges - Mountaineers: 16-12-1 SU all-time in this series, including 3-0 the last three years. Eagles: 1-3 SU home last four as a host in this series. With the Mountaineers having held each of their last two foes to season low yards, and GSU having allowed Georgia Tech a season-high 536 yards two weeks ago, the points become the play in this friendly rivalry tonight. We recommend a 1-unit play on Appalachian State. Thank you and good luck as always.

Minnesota Twins vs. Detroit Tigers

Free MLB Play Detroit Tigers -1.5

The Tigers put a little more distance between themselves and Kansas City, now holding a two game lead at the top of the AL Central. I don't expect them to let up tonight as they host the Twins.

Max Sherzer will toe the slab for Detroit, and he sure is good at home. Sherzer (17-5, 3.19 ERA) surrendered just one run on seven hits over 7 1/3 innings in a win at Kansas City his last time out. He's 2-0 with a 2.70 ERA in four starts in September, and he's 10-1 with a 2.66 ERA in 13 starts at Comerica Park this season. He's faced the Twins three times already this year, and he's 2-0 in those games, with two of the three played at Target Field.

The Twins will hand the ball to Trevor May, who has been hit hard in his rookie season. May (3-5, 8.39 ERA) was rocked for seven runs on eight hits over just 4 2/3 innings in a loss to Cleveland his last time out. He was blasted by the Tigers back in August, surrendering five runs on 11 hits over 5 1/3 innings in an 8-6 loss.

Torii Hunter, J.D. and Victor Martinez (not related) were all 2-for-3 in that game.

Take DET -1.5

Jimmy Boyd

UCLA vs. Arizona State

Free Pick on UCLA Bruins -

It’s not typically a wise move to back the road team in a weekday matchup, but I think this is a good spot to gamble on UCLA laying less than a touchdown. Arizona State is undefeated and ranked inside the Top 15 overall, but I don’t know that their ranking is justified. The Sun Devils three opponents so far have been Weber State, New Mexico and Colorado.

In their most recent matchup versus the Buffaloes, Arizona State was actually outgained on the game 545 to 426 or by 119 yards. Had it not been for three Colorado turnovers, including two inside their own territory that resulted in touchdowns for the Sun Devils, the Buffaloes could have potentially won that game outright.

UCLA has not been impressive so far, at least not to the standard that so many expected for a team that almost everyone had winning the Pac-12 South. However, they have played a difficult schedule with their three games coming against Virginia on the road, at home against Memphis and a neutral site showdown versus Texas in Arlington.

Interestingly both of these teams are dealing with injuries to their starting quarterback. Arizona State’s Taylor Kelly is out indefinitely with a foot injury and UCLA’s Brett Hundley is dealing with an injured elbow.

While it’s certain Kelly won’t participate, I think there’s a good chance Hundley will play, as he’s had a full two weeks to recover with the Bruins coming off a bye. Even if Hundley doesn’t play or gets hurt and has to leave this game, I still like UCLA in this one. Backup Jerry Neuheisel was impressive in place of Hundley against Texas, connecting on 23 of 30 attempts for 178 yards and 2 touchdowns.

You also have to take into consideration that UCLA playing with some serious revenge after Arizona State handed them their only home loss of 2013, which essentially kept the Bruins out of the Pac-12 Championship Game. It’s also worth noting that this is not nearly as strong of a Sun Devils team than the one that took the field last year. Arizona State only had 8 starters back and are now without their best player in Kelly. Take UCLA!

UCLA vs. Arizona State

Haimo's Thursday Night NCAAF Bonus Play Selection

**2 Star Favorite Side Play** UCLA Bruins

The Bruins have not looked like the on the rise team everybody was expecting to start the season. They've had plenty of injuries to slow them down with QB Brett Hundley being the main one. However, they play an Arizona State team tonight who does not have the defensive personnel to slow down UCLAs run game. The Bruins will man handle ASUs offensive line and create turnovers. Look for UCLA to show up big in this one.

Play on UCLA -5.5 points.

Enjoy.

Appalachian State at Georgia Southern 7:30PM

5* Appalachian State

Reason: 5* Play on Appalachian State. Too many points for Georgia State to be laying here, and we'll take the points in what we expect to be a fast game (in terms of minutes played) against Appalachian State. The Mountaineers weren't able to pull off an upset at Michigan as they did a few years back - instead they were crushed 52-14 in the Big House, but since recovered to whip Campbell 66-0 and fell by a single point at Southern Miss last week. We expect the clock to be continuously running, which always helps big underdogs, and for fewer possessions to result in a SU loss but ATS cover by the visitor.

Georgia State nearly upset a pair of ACC teams this season, losing to NC State by a single point and losing late at Georgia Tech after mounting a furious comeback. The Eagles are no doubt the better team here, however, just as we like to take the points with triple-option teams as the game pace favors less possessions and therefore a harder chance to run up the score, the same is true for fading triple-option favorites. Mountaineers should be able to do some damage through the air, and score enough points to stay within this number. 5* Play on Appalachian State.

Appalachian St vs. Georgia Southern

Free 3 Units Appalachian St +19.5/-106

Appalachian State at Georgia Southern Way too much value to pass up on the Mountaineers here in this spot against Georgia Southern. The pass two years Appalachian State has come away with 38-14 and 31-28 wins against the Eagles. Last week this Appalachian State squad outgained Southern Mississippi 455-329 so as you can see this is a very competitive team - Plus in the fact that this it is a big rivalry game, and you can see how the Mountaineers are the solid value release here at this number. Appalachian State plus the points the play here.

It's Georgia Southern! Not State. State is a brand new program in Atlanta, Southern is a storied program 300miles to the south in Statesboro, GA.

NEWSLETTER NFL Football Prediction From Raphael Esparza

Take ‘Under’ 46.0 – NY Giants at Washington (8 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 25)

I want to start a big weekend with a Thursday winner. I have a pair of 6-Unit football winners – one in college and one in the NFL – and I am 5-0 so far this season with my plays of 6.0 or higher. What are you waiting for? The public has already pushed this total up to 46 as the oddsmakers posted this game at 45. The public always bets key TV games over, but again I believe the public is wrong on this game. The Giants defense is not that bad, and last week the Giants held the Texans to 17 points. Washington at times shows that their D is improved, and if you throw away last weeks game you would think this game is a dead under. When these two teams meet the under has been money, going 0-5 O/U in their last 5 meetings. The Giants in their last 19 road games are 5-14 O/U, and the Redskins are 1-6 O/U at home against a team with a losing record.

Complimentary Horse Pick for September 25th, 2014

BELMONT PARK #5 at 02:55 PM Eastern

Top Pick: #2 (SPECIAL INVITATION) (4-1) - He tired facing tougher when debuting at Saratoga July 19th. Colt by "Flatter" drops in class and that's a solid 20% winning move by trainer Rudy Rodriguez.

2nd Pick: #8 (Mr Classic Seneca) (7-2) - Stakes placed when debuting in late June at Louisiana Downs he has fine early speed. Texas bred tired last out at Saratoga facing a bit better on Aug. 25 and takes a slight drop for this attempt. Win candidate.

3rd Pick: #1 (Dinner Time) (10-1) - Gelding exits the same last race as "Seneca" and tired after pressing the pace while very wide. He moves to the rail, is working well, and think he'll be involved from start-to-finish at a square price.

4th Pick: #3 (Oh Poggibonsi) (8-1) - One of a trio making their debuts, gelding by "Tiz Wonderful" has a fine series of works showing. In a capable first out barn (Jeremiah Englehart 14%) and believe this runner will sneak away at long odds.
