Guaranteed Pick: Ben Burns
Game: Colorado Rockies at Philadelphia Phillies Oct 4 2007 3:05PM
Prediction: Philadelphia Phillies
Reason: I'm laying the price with PHILADELPHIA. Teams don't always win when playing a "must-win" game. However, I expect the extremely talented Phillies to do so this afternoon. The Phillies overall record against left-handers isn't overally impressive. That was because they started off the season poorly against southpaws though. They finished up by going 12-7 their last 19 games against left-handers and still managed to hit an extremely healthy .274 while averaging 5.6 runs. Those are almost identical to their overall stats. Both today's young starters spent time in the minors this season and both pitched very well after getting called up to the majors. While Morales was excellent, he has only been pitching in the bigs since mid-August and he had the advantage of facing teams for the first time in six of his eight starts. He wasn't nearly as effective the two times that he faced a team (Giants and Dodgers) for the second time, lasting only eight innings while giving up eight runs! That's worth mentioning as the Phils will be getting their second look at him today. Kendrick has been terrific at home, going 7-1 with a 3.76 ERA in 11 home starts while holding the opposition to six hits or less in nine of those games. The Phillies went 9-2 when he took the mound at home. I expect a massive team effort today as the bats come alive and they even up the series with a convincing victory. *Personal Favorite

Kentucky @ South Carolina 7:45 PM EST
Play On: 1* South Carolina -3 1/2
My ole Gamecocks are doing what I thought they were going to do. Hopefully all of you read my article and got down on the Over 7 regular season wins as my futures play in CFB this year. Steve Spurrier is one of the greatest CFB Coaches ever in my opinion. He sucked in the NFL but I'm glad he came to South Carolina. They now face a #8 ranked undefeated Kentucky Wildcat team with an awesome quarterback. I feel like they will be some points scored in this one but Spurrier will find a way to win it. Kentucky is 3-11 ATS since 1992 as a road underdog of 3 1/2 to 7 points. Sure, Kentucky can put up some offensive numbers but let's look at South Carolina this year. South Carolina is scoring 34.7 ppg at home this year. South Carolina is allowing only 15.6 ppg overall this year and 12.7 ppg at home this season. South Carolina has already faced the #1 team in the nation in LSU and held their own against them for a majority of the game. South Carolina is 2-0 SU and ATS overall vs Kentucky last 3 years. We'll recommend a small play on South Carolina tonight! Thanks and good luck, Rocky

Game: Kentucky at South Carolina Oct 4 2007 7:45PM
Prediction: South Carolina
Reason: Play on South Carolina at 7:45 ET. Spurrier versus Brooks is an all-time coaching mismatch on the sidelines. Spurrier is much more than just an avowed "offensive genius." He knows and understands his team's strengths and weaknesses. Spurrier knows he does not have a QB or the playmakers at the WR positions (the Gamecocks really miss Sidney Rice!) for his Fun 'N Gun offense to work. So what has he done in '07? Spurrier is relying on two excellent RBs, Cory Boyd (330 YR / 4.9 ypc) and Mike Davis (321 YR / 5.2 ypc), to pound the ball. He's playing more of a field position game these days, hoping for longer drives which will 'eat' up the clock (long drives will help keep Kentucky QB Andre' Woodson off the field in this game). Woodson is a wonderful QB (16 TD passes and just one interception) but Spurrier has an outstanding defense. It ranks 26th in overall yards allowed (307.6), 16th in points allowed (15.6) and is SECOND in the passing efficiency rantings (just 46.2 % with only two TDPs and six INTs). Kudos go out to Kentucky which has been one heckuva team since losing 49-0 at LSU last year, going 10-1 SU and 9-1 ATS. The school's No. 8 ranking in the latest AP poll is its highest since 1997 but the Wildcats have lost seven straight to the Gamecocks and have never beaten a Spurrier-coached team (0-14!). That WON'T change here. South Carolina is my 20* SEC Game of the Month.

1500♦ KENTUCKY
There’s a first time for everything, and this is it for the Wildcats of Kentucky. This will be the first time they have ever beaten a Steve Spurrier coached team. The Cats are on a roll, winning 10 of their past 11 games. They are averaging 46.6 points per game this season, compared to the Gamecocks average of only 34.7 points per game at home. The trends are also tipped in favor of Kentucky in this game, as they are on a 5-2 ATS run on the road, and have cashed in 11 of their last 17 contests as the listed underdog. One final note, the Gamecocks have only covered two of their last eight games as a home favorite of this many points, and will fail to do so again tonight.
1500♦ NEW YORK w/WANG over Cleveland w/Sabathia
The New York Yankees have won each of the last eight meetings with the Cleveland Indians, and will get another win tonight with the 19-game winner Chien-Ming Wang on the mound. New York is a profitable 9-2 in Wang’s last 11 starts vs. a team with a winning record, so he’s the man they want on the mound to take on these Indians. The Yankees also have more weapons to get the job done in this game, beginning with the power hitting Alex Rodriguez. The Indians will also send a 19-game winner to the mound, C.C. Sabathia. He has had an overall impressive season, but I expect him to get rocked by these Yankees. The Indians have lost five of the last seven games when Sabathia was a home underdog. Side with the Yankees in this one.
