Take "Over"
The Cubs have pitching problems, giving up 26 runs during a 5-game skid. Carlos Zambrano's season is in jeopardy. Zambrano's valuable right shoulder could speak volumes and the Cubs seemed to be preparing for the worst, that Zambrano could be out for a long period, perhaps the rest of the season. Originally scheduled to stay and help Triple-A Iowa in the playoffs, Kevin Hart instead found himself in Cubs clubhouse Wednesday night, called up after Sean Marshall went from bullpen to rotation. Losing aces can have a dominoe effect on a team, taxing bullpens. Starter Ted Lilly goes in a hitter's park in this game, Cincy, and Lilly has allowed 30 home runs in 174 innings. He's 0-3 with a 6.32 ERA against the Reds this season. Reds starter Bronson Arroyo has allowed 25 gopher balls in 166 innings, plus has a 4.50 ERA against the Cubs and their top-ranked offense. The Reds are on a 4-1 run over the total, all at home. Looks like an offensive shootout. Play the Cubs/Reds over the total.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Navy (1-0 SU, 0-0 ATS) at Ball State (1-0 SU, 0-0 ATS)
Navy and Ball State eased into the season with blowout victories in their openers against undermanned teams, and now the two will square off under the lights at Ball State Stadium in Muncie, Ind.
Ball State opened the season eight days ago with an easy 48-14 victory over Northeastern in an unlined contest. QB Nate Davis threw for 280 yards and three touchdowns as the Cardinals racked up 487 yards of total offense, including 190 on the ground behind RB MiQuale Lewis (11 carries, 95 yards, one TD).
Navy, the top rushing team in the nation the last three seasons, appears well on its way to defending that title after rushing for 558 yards in Saturday?s 41-13 rout of Towson in a non-lined game. RB Shun White had for a school-record 348 rushing yards and three TDs in the victory on just 19 carries. White broke a 27-year Middies? record by 50 rushing yards.
Navy won its final four games last season (2-2 ATS) to earn a berth in the Poinsettia Bowl, where the Midshipmen fell 35-32 to Utah, but covered as nine-point ?dogs. Navy is 49-19 ATS in its last 68 road games, but otherwise the program is on ATS slides of 3-7 in non-conference games, 1-4 against the MAC and 0-4 in Friday kickoffs.
Ball State won four of its last six (3-2 ATS) to end the 2007 campaign and earn a spot in the International Bowl against Rutgers, where the Cardinals got destroyed in a 52-30, falling way short as 11-point underdogs. Despite that result, they are on ATS runs of 11-5 overall, 7-2 in non-conference games, 11-3 against teams with a winning record and 4-0 in September contests.
These teams met almost a year ago with Ball State getting a 34-31 overtime victory, covering as a seven-point road ?dog. The teams combined for more than 1,100 total yards in the game.
The over is 8-3 in the Middies? last 11 overall, 4-1 in their last five September games, 5-0 in their last five on the road and 5-1 in their last six against teams with a winning mark. For Ball State, the over is on streaks of 10-1 in September and 5-2 in non-conference contests, but the under is 5-1 in the Cardinals? last six lined games overall.
ATS ADVANTAGE: OVER
NATIONAL LEAGUE
Philadelphia (76-64) at N.Y. Mets (79-61
The Phillies open a crucial three-game series against the Mets at Shea Stadium with Brett Myers (8-10, 4.40 ERA) on the hill opposite New York?s Michael Pelfrey (13-8, 3.66).
Philadelphia trails New York by three games in the N.L. East standings, but the Phillies have struggled against their division rivals this season, losing 10 of the 15 matchups to the Mets, including six of the last eight.
The Mets return home off a 6-2 road trip that included wins in each of their last four. They are on streaks of 37-17 overall, 20-7 at home, 19-7 against N.L. East rivals and 49-23 following an off day. Meanwhile, the Phillies are in the midst of a 10-game road trip that has them go 3-4 in the first seven games. However, Philly is on hot streaks of 5-2 coming off a loss, 5-1 following an off day and 17-8 on Friday.
Myers has been virtually unhittable in his last three starts, going 3-0 with a 0.78 ERA, and the Phillies have won six of his last seven outings. Myers has held all seven of those opponents to three runs or less. The veteran right-hander saw the Mets on July 23 and gave up three runs on three hits in five innings of a 6-3 loss, and for his career he is 8-6 with three saves and a 5.19 ERA in 24 games against New York.
Pelfrey is 2-0 with a 2.19 ERA in his last three overall, including two complete games, and 8-5 with a 2.66 ERA in 15 starts at home. The Mets have won seven of his last 10 starts. Pelfrey has given up six runs on 15 hits in two starts (10 total innings) versus the Phillies this season, and the Mets have split the two games.
Philadelphia is just 4-13 in Myers? last 17 road starts and 5-16 in his last 21 against the N.L. East, but 4-1 in his last five at Shea Stadium. Meanwhile, the Mets are 13-3 in Pelfrey?s last 16 outings overall, 8-1 in his last nine at home and 6-0 in his last six in a series opener.
For the Mets, the over is on streaks of 7-3-1 overall, 8-1-1 at home, 19-7-3 following an off day, 6-2-1 behind Pelfrey overall and 9-1-2 when he faces a team with a winning record. Conversely, the under is 6-0-1 in Myers? last seven overall, 9-4 in his last 14 at Shea, 6-2-2 in his last 10 on the highway and 21-10-2 in the Phillies? last 33 against winning teams..
ATS ADVANTAGE: N.Y. METS
Arizona (71-6Cool at L.A. Dodgers (70-70)
The Diamondbacks arrive in Los Angeles for a key three-game set between N.L. West rivals, and they?ll send Danny Haren (14-7, 3.24) to the mound to face the Dodgers? Derek Lowe (11-11, 3.69).
Arizona leads Los Angeles by 1? games in the standings, but the DBacks have dropped four of the last five to the Dodgers, including two of three in the desert last weekend. For the season series, Arizona leads 8-7, including splitting six games in Hollywood.
The DBacks rallied for a 4-3 walk-off victory Thursday over St. Louis to cap a 3-3 homestand. Meanwhile, the Dodgers have followed up an eight-game losing skid with a five-game winning streak. On Wednesday, L.A. completed a three-game sweep of the Padres with a 6-4 victory.
Los Angeles is 18-6 in its last 24 at home, including 7-2 in its last nine at home against right-handed starters, but the Dodgers are just 6-16 in their last 22 following an off day. Meanwhile the DBacks are stuck in slumps of 7-3 overall, 0-4 on the road and 1-5 versus the N.L. West.
Haren has been roughed up a bit lately, posting a 5.68 ERA in his last three games, allowing 12 runs and 30 hits in 19 innings. Arizona has lost three of his last five, including Saturday?s 6-2 setback to the Dodgers when he allowed five runs on 10 hits in six innings. Haren has faced the Dodgers four times this season and the D?Backs are 2-2, but in his only outing in Los Angeles, the right-hander allowed six runs on nine hits in 4 2/3 innings of an 8-3 defeat back on April 23.
Lowe is 2-1 with a 1.33 ERA in his last three starts and he?s 8-5 with a 2.64 ERA in front of the home fans, holding the opposition to a .246 batting average in Los Angeles. In his most recent start on Sunday, Lowe blanked Arizona on four hits in six innings of work en route to an 8-1 road victory. Los Angeles is 3-1 in his four starts against Arizona this season (seven runs allowed in 22 1/3 innings). For his career, Lowe is 5-7 with a 4.01 ERA in 16 starts against Arizona.
Arizona is 12-5 in Haren?s last 17 starts overall, 5-2 in his last seven versus N.L. West rivals and 4-1 in his last five on the highway. Los Angeles is 5-1 in Lowe?s last six against N.L. West foes, but just 3-8 in his last 11 against winning teams and 1-4 in his last five starts on Fridays.
The over is 6-2 in Haren?s last eight overall, 7-1 in Arizona?s last eight overall and 5-0 in the Snakes? last five against N.L. West teams. The over is also 7-1 in the Dodgers? last eight overall and 5-1 in their past six against N.L. West opposition. Finally, the last four series meetings between these clubs have hurdled the total.

Take "Over"
The Cubs have pitching problems, giving up 26 runs during a 5-game skid. Carlos Zambrano's season is in jeopardy. Zambrano's valuable right shoulder could speak volumes and the Cubs seemed to be preparing for the worst, that Zambrano could be out for a long period, perhaps the rest of the season. Originally scheduled to stay and help Triple-A Iowa in the playoffs, Kevin Hart instead found himself in Cubs clubhouse Wednesday night, called up after Sean Marshall went from bullpen to rotation. Losing aces can have a dominoe effect on a team, taxing bullpens. Starter Ted Lilly goes in a hitter's park in this game, Cincy, and Lilly has allowed 30 home runs in 174 innings. He's 0-3 with a 6.32 ERA against the Reds this season. Reds starter Bronson Arroyo has allowed 25 gopher balls in 166 innings, plus has a 4.50 ERA against the Cubs and their top-ranked offense. The Reds are on a 4-1 run over the total, all at home. Looks like an offensive shootout. Play the Cubs/Reds over the total.
