POINTWISE

THURSDAY

TULANE 37 - Smu 17 - (8:00 - CBSC) -- Wave as this solid a chalk certainly a rarity, but have allowed only 40 FDs in 3 games, & are 5-1 ATS by 67? of late, with Anderson & Moore providing the "O". Pony "D": 44 ppg last 10 contests, including 55, 56, & 43 pts in last 3 RGs. Mitchell: 7 INTs last 2 games. Greenies.

So California 45 - OREGON STATE 13 - (9:00 - ESPN) -- Sanchez latest USC Heisman candidate: 4 TDs in rout of OhioSt. Troy has a 1,149-523 yd edge in the early going, with an 87-10 pt advantage. Now +78? pts ATS in last 5 tilts. Beavs off the schneid with 38-pt rout of hapless Hawaii, & Moevao has thrown for 923 yds, but still no overland game, & chalk is 17-7 ATS in OregSt contests.




THE GOLD SHEET

*TULANE 37 - Smu 13?Although substantial favorite an exceedingly
strange pointspread role for long-suffering Tulane, inclined to support resurgent host following last week?s satisfying win over La.-Monroe. Squalid SMU ?stop? unit (nation?s-worst 531 ypg) can?t stop anyone, and Mustangs have scored just 2 TDs in last 2 games behind misfiring true frosh QB Mitchell (10 ints. TY). Green Wave has enough rushing and defense (only 223 ypg?No. 8 in country!) to bludgeon visitor into submission. (07-Tulane 41-SMU 34 (OT)...S.23-21 T.50/361 S.32/84 S.28/37/1/354 T.13/24/0/160 T.1 S.1) (07-Tulane +6 41-34 (OT) 06-Smu -3 33-28 05-Tulane -3' 31-10...SR: Tulane 11-5)



*Southern Cal 37 - OREGON STATE 10?Granted, Corvallis has been a
real minefield lately for SC, which has failed to cover last 3 trips to Reser
Stadium and lost 2 of those outright (including 33-31 shocker in ?06). But can?t envision erratic OSU QB Moevao doing too much business vs. Pete Carroll?s latest defensive monster that?s loaded with future NFL first-round draftees. And since rebuilt Beaver ?D? not yet generating the pressure of recent OSU stop units, Mark Sanchez should again have plenty of time to locate his various weapons downfield. CABLE TV?ESPN

HONDO

The Cubs were heroic for Hondo last night, rack ing up a wonderful "W" at LameDuckDump that en abled Mr. Aitch to bring the total tally he has tucked away in assorted offshore accounts to 770 card wells.

Today, he'll stick with the lovable losers - 10 units on Harden to stifle the Metamucils.

Dave Cokin

(973) LA Angels
(974) SEA Mariners
Take "(974) SEA Mariners"
The Mariners are obviously going to be pretty happy to put the equipment away for the winter. They're beyond terrible. But they've played the Angels really tough the last couple of nights, so perhaps they're treating this as their personal playoff series. I like what I've seen out of rookie Cesar Jimenez and the M's get to face the weak link of the Halos staff tonight in Dustin Moseley. A rare call on Seattle to win in the series finale.





Jim Feist

(963) COL Rockies
(964) SF Giants
Take "(964) SF Giants"
The Giants didn't play that badly on a brutal 11-game road trip, winning 4 games (3 as a big dog), plus losing 3 games by 2 runs or less. They even beat the Dodgers, 1-0 and 7-1. Starter Barry Zito has had a better second half of the season, and sports a 3.93 ERA his last three starts, fanning 16 in 18 innings. He faces a team he's already beaten this season (2.2o ERA) and lifteim he's 2-1 against Colorado with a 2.63 ERA. San Fran is home for the final 6 games of the season, while the Rockies are on a 6-game trip. Starter Jorge De La Rosa (5.20 ERA) has not had a good season and has been wild down the stretch, walking 10 batters in his last 16 innings. The home team has the better pitcher and is more interested. Play the Giants.

Seattle +100 over L.A. Angels (MLB)



JIMMY THE MOOSE

Game: Chicago White Sox at Minnesota Twins Sep 25 2008 8:10PM

Prediction: Minnesota Twins

Reason: Chicago has lost 3 of their last 4 games while the Twins have now won 3 straight. The White Sox are 7-22 in their last 29 games played on turf.

Minnesota is 22-6 in their last 28 home games vs. a team with a winning record. They are 36-16 in their last 52 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Twins have won 7 of Slowey's lsat 8 home starts. The Twins have won 5 of the last 6 meetings overall and the White Sox are 1-8 in their last 9 trips to Minnesota. Play on the Twins -.

THE SPORTS ADVISORS

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

(1) USC (2-0 SU and ATS) at Oregon State (1-2 SU and ATS)
Southern Cal, which took a week off after flattening then-fifth-ranked Ohio State, opens up Pac-10 Conference play by heading north to Corvallis, Ore., to take on Oregon State at Reser Stadium.
The Trojans proved they deserved to be a 10?-point home chalk, and then some, with a 35-3 bashing of the Buckeyes on Sept. 13. USC racked up 348 total yards while allowing just 207, and won the turnover battle 3-1. QB Mark Sanchez (17 of 28, 178 yards, 4 TDs, 1 INT) was efficient and effective, and RB Joe McKnight ripped off 105 yards on just 12 carries.
The Beavers also took last weekend off after routing Hawaii 45-7 as a 14-point home favorite Sept. 13, winning and cashing for the first time this season. Oregon State racked up 485 total yards ? including 217 on the ground ? while yielding just 211 yards (57 rushing). QB Lyle Moevao completed 20 of 34 passes for 268 yards and three TDs against the outmatched Rainbows.
USC has won eight of the last 10 clashes in this rivalry, but Oregon State has split the cash in those meetings. Last year, the Trojans rolled 24-3 as a 15?-point home favorite, but two years ago at Reser Stadium, the Beavers pulled off a 33-31 home upset as a 10?-point pup to end USC?s 27-game conference winning streak. In fact, the home team is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings, and Oregon State has gone 3-0 ATS (2-1 SU) in its last three home contests against the Trojans.
The Trojans are just 1-4 ATS in their last five on artificial turf, but their ATS trends are all positive from there, including 6-1 overall, 4-1 on the road, 7-1 after a bye and 9-4 against losing teams. The Beavers are also on a bevy of positive pointspread streaks, including 8-3 overall, 5-0 at home, 5-0 after a bye, 5-1 after a SU win and 6-2 in conference play, though they are in a 2-6 ATS rut against winning teams.
The under for Southern Cal is on a 10-3 overall tear and is on further runs of 5-0 against losing teams, 7-1 after an ATS win, 8-2 after a SU win and 20-7 in Pac-10 play. Also, Oregon State sports under streaks of 8-2-1 after a bye week and 4-1 at home.
ATS ADVANTAGE: UNDER



SMU (1-3, 1-2 ATS) at Tulane (1-2, 3-0 ATS
Southern Methodist, already set for its fifth game of the season, travels to the Superdome in New Orleans for a Conference USA matchup against Tulane.
The Mustangs have little time to regroup after getting bounced 48-7 by Texas Christian on Saturday, failing to cash despite being a 24?-point home underdog. That came on the heels of a 43-7 blowout road loss at the hands of Texas Tech ? though SMU barely cashed as a 36?-point underdog. Against TCU, the Mustangs were outgained 498-210, going backward on the ground with minus-8 net rushing yards.
Tulane also suited up Saturday, beating Louisiana-Monroe 24-10 as a five-point home chalk to maintain its perfect 2008 ATS mark, which includes spread-covers against ranked foes Alabama and East Carolina. Against Louisiana-Monroe, the Green Wave finished with impressive advantages of 454-182 in total yards and 24-9 in first downs.
Tulane has gone 2-1 SU and ATS in the last three years of this rivalry, narrowly cashing last year in a 41-34 overtime victory as a 6?-point road favorite. In fact, the road team has cashed in each of the last three meetings.
The Mustangs are mired in ATS funks of 2-4 overall, 1-5 against losing teams, 3-7 in CUSA contests and 18-35 in September. Likewise, the Green Wave are only 6-17-1 ATS in their last 24 conference matchups, but they sport positive ATS streaks of 5-1 overall, 4-0 in September and 4-1 against losing teams.
The over is 13-6 in SMU?s last 19 conference tilts, but the under has cashed in five of SMU?s last seven games on the highway. For Tulane, the under is on tears of 12-5 overall, 5-2 at home, 4-1 after a SU win and 6-2 against losing teams.
ATS ADVANTAGE: TULANE

Trace Adams
Here you go guys.

Trace Adams 1500* - Southern Cal Trojans, 500* - Florida w/Sanchez over Balester Possible "lull" spot for the Trojans who haven't played since drilling Ohio State 35-3, while Oregon State comes into this big home date with a confidence-building 45-7 rout of Hawaii.

It should also be noted that USC hasn't had it easy on their trips to Corvallis, as they have lost 2 of their last 3 trips there outright, and have failed ALL 3 against the spread.

Still, with no threat of imclement weather forecasted, I can't see how the Beavers who did lose to Penn State by a 45-14 count stay with this Trojans team.

I feel sure Pete Carroll will not need to remind his team of the past troubles they have had played at Corvallis, and I expect the Trojan "D" to make life miserable for whoever is under center for State tonight.

Throw in the fact the Beavers have a very young defense, and Mark Sanchez and his mates should eventually pull away and cover this big number.

Yes, this is a lot of points on the road, but SC has covered 6 of their last 7 on the highway, including their 52-7 pasting of Virginia earlier this year.

Lay the lumber!

1500♦ - Southern Cal Trojans

On the diamond, going with Florida over Washington.

The Marlins snapped a 4-game slide with the win last night, as the Nats have now lost 6 of their last 7 games.

Florida is now 7-1 in games played in DC this year, and 14-3 overall in the season series, and I just don't see them losing in this spot.

Sanchez is 1-0 in his 2 starts against the Nationals, while Balester is fresh off 5 innings of 5 run ball in a home no decision against San Diego.

Lay the small road chalk on Florida based on the dominant season series numbers they sport against Washington this year.

500♦ - Florida w/Sanchez over Balester

Yesterday we swept the board 4-0 to grab +13.5 units. Today we hit the diamond running with another four games.



We rate each pick 1 to 5 units with 5 being the strongest play (read about units). Risk 1% of your bankroll per unit (never risk more than 5% of total bankroll on any pick).

Game: Pittsburgh at Milwaukee (8:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Pittsburgh +194 (moneyline) (risk 3 to win 5.Cool

This line is very inflated because the Brewers have a vested interest in the outcome as it pertains to their wildcard tie with the falling Mets. It is hard to lay two-to-one odds on a pitcher that has been on the shelf since May 1, in Yovani Gallardo. That means a lot of innings for a pen that has blown 26 saves already this season. The Brewers have been shaky down the stretch with just seven wins in their last 22 games. Zach Duke has underachieved all season, but he has been very solid in three of his last four starts, where he has allowed two runs or less. Duke keeps the Pirates in the game, then it is roll the dice, and at two-to-one odds I'll stand behind the Pirates.

Game: Chicago White Sox at Minnesota (8:10 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Minnesota -144 (moneyline) (risk 3 to win 2.1)

The noose is tightening around the necks of the White Sox as their lead is down to just a half game over the Twins. The Twins have taken the first two games and are playing loose and free. This is the pivotal game. If the Twins lose they are two back with three to play. The White Sox are 10 games under .500 on the road while the Twins are 25 over at home, but barely over .500 against right hand pitching. Kevin Slowey has been a full 1.5 runs better at home, 3.04 vs. his road ERA of 4.52, and the Twins are now 7-1 in his last eight home starts. Gavin Floyd has a road ERA of over four, and the Pale Hose are just 7-7 in his last 14 road starts. Minnesota has been 32-10 over their last 42 at home, and I like them to take over first place in the AL Central with the win here.

Game: San Diego at Los Angeles Dodgers (10:10 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Los Angeles Dodgers -116 (moneyline) (risk 3 to win 2.6)

The only thing holding this moneyline down is Jake Peavy. It certainly isn't the way the Padres are hitting and winning as they are close to 100 losses on the season, and have been out-scored 22-5 in the first two games here. The fact is that Peavy has been poor on the road with a sub-par 4.20 ERA, so not even close to the same pitcher, and the Padres have been no better off with him on the mound anyway as they are 8-15 in his last 23 starts. The Dodgers are hot and 18-5 in their last 23, so I'll back them here.

Game: Los Angeles Angels at Seattle (10:10 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Los Angeles Angels -113 (moneyline) (risk 3 to win 2.7)

I am still not sure what the books are thinking here, but I'll keep playing the value. The M's have reached the century mark in losses, and Los Angeles is fast approaching 100 wins, but the lines keep showing something different. The Angels are still playing meaningful games, to secure home field throughout the playoffs, so while the pennant race lines are -200 or more everyday, these lines are issued like LA is not going to show up. Well they have shown up enough to win 11 of their last 14, while leading the division by 20 games, and two of three here. There just isn't anything more that needs to be said, but Seattle against half the Angels? regulars is not close to even money here, going Angels in this one.
