Baseball Predictions: Giants at Rockies Odds and Picks
by Alan Matthews - 8/26/2013
Look, I get that baseball players are like you and me. Well, better paid than you and me. But they go out there to do a job when called upon like the rest of us. What I don't understand is why the San Francisco Giants keep trotting lefty Barry Zito out in road games. The guy simply is not the same pitcher away from AT&T Park. But I guess Zito has been stealing the Giants' money for so long that they might as well toss him out into the fire at this point as he will be a free agent after the season. Read More >>
Baseball Picks: Yankees at Rays Odds and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 8/24/2013
I really wish that Boston Red Sox pitcher Ryan Dempster hadn't plunked the Yankees' Alex Rodriguez on Sunday night. I guarantee you that many in baseball were happy that Dempster plunked the cheating A-Rod, but teammate David Ortiz had this to say: "That pitch woke up a monster in the Yankees' team at that moment. You saw how the game ended up. CC (Sabathia) was throwing 91 (mph) and started throwing 96. Alex later hit one way out there. You're talking about a good team that you can't wake up." Read More >>
Baseball Picks: Athletics at Orioles MLB Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 8/23/2013
It's now late August, so I think it's fair to call a series "huge" if it deserves that moniker, and Oakland's visit to Baltimore this weekend for three games definitely is huge in the wild-card race. I have given up on the A's winning the AL West over the Rangers. They currently hold down the second wild-card spot behind Tampa Bay. The Orioles are three games behind the A's, so we could have a deadlock by Sunday afternoon should Baltimore sweep. Read More >>
MLB Picks: Braves at Cardinals Odds and Predictions
by Dave Schwab - 8/22/2013
For the next four days starting with Thursday's nights clash, the Atlanta Braves and the St. Louis Cardinals will battle it out at Busch Stadium in a showdown between two of the best teams in the National League. Game 1 is set to get underway at 8:15 p.m. (ET), and it will be broadcast nationally on the MLB Network. Read More >>
College Football Picks: LSU vs. TCU Week 1 Predictions
by Dave Schwab - 8/21/2013
This season's Cowboys Classic in Arlington, Texas, features a showdown between the No. 12 LSU Tigers and the No. 20 TCU Horned Frogs in what should be a solid opening day test for both programs. Next Saturday's SEC/Big 12 clash is scheduled for a 9 p.m. (ET) start, and the game will be broadcast nationally on ESPN. Read More >>
NBA Picks: Clippers Making Moves to Become Best in West
by Aaron Smith - 8/21/2013
The Los Angeles Clippers were knocked out in the first round of the NBA Playoffs last year. It was a bitter pill to swallow for a team that had very high expectations heading into the season. Los Angeles has been a streaky team in the past two seasons. They have looked like the best team in the NBA at some points, and at others they have looked like a borderline playoff team. Unfortunately for the Clippers, they haven't been able to play their best basketball when it matters the most. Read More >>
MLB Picks: Indians at Angels Odds and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 8/21/2013
Major League Baseball's addition of a second wild-card spot in each league has definitely kept more teams in the playoff hunt deeper into the season -- the Washington Nationals, for example, just traded for Cubs outfielder David DeJesus despite the fact they are nine games out of a wild-card spot. Unfortunately, the addition of that second wild-card spot has also taken much of the suspense out of the trade deadline because teams are now hanging onto players because they think they can earn that second spot.

MLB Picks: White Sox at Royals Odds and Predictions
by Dave Schwab - 8/20/2013
The Chicago White Sox will try and play the role of spoiler when they face the AL Central rival Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night in the first of a three-game set at Kauffman Stadium. This Game 1 clash slated to get underway at 8:10 p.m. (ET), and it will be available on MLB Extra Innings. Read More >>
MLB Picks: Dodgers at Marlins Odds and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 8/19/2013
Monday's series opener between the Dodgers and Marlins is a total mismatch, at least on paper. Los Angeles Is unbelievably hot right now. The Dodgers entered Sunday's series finale in Philadelphia having won 19 of their past 20 road games and winners of 42 of their past 50 games overall. It's the best 50-game stretch in the majors since the 1942 Cardinals had the same record (and won the World Series). Read More >>
MLB Picks: Reds at Brewers Odds and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 8/17/2013
I am starting to have second thoughts about mostly dismissing the Cincinnati Reds of winning the NL Central. They have won five straight entering Friday night's Game 2 of a four-game series in Milwaukee to climb with 2.5 games of division-leading Pittsburgh and just a half-game behind St. Louis. Cincy is +200 on Sportsbook.ag to win the division. Read More >>
MLB Picks: Indians at Athletics Odds and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 8/16/2013
I wouldn't call it likely -- but certainly possible -- that Friday's series opener in Oakland between the Indians and A's could be a preview of the American League's one-game wild-card playoff. The A's entered their series finale Thursday against Houston holding down the final wild-card spot and with a 2.5-game lead over the next closest team, Baltimore. The Tribe, who were off Thursday, are three games behind Oakland. Read More >>
College Football Picks: Georgia at Clemson Week 1 Predictions
by Dave Schwab - 8/15/2013
In an opening-day battle between two nationally-ranked powers, the Georgia Bulldogs are set to invade Memorial Stadium to square off against the Clemson Tigers on Saturday, Aug.31. Kickoff for this SEC/ACC clash has been set for 8 p.m. (ET), and the game will be broadcast nationally on ABC. Read More >>
MLB Picks: Royals at Tigers Odds and Predictions
by Dave Schwab - 8/15/2013
The upstart Kansas City Royals will look to close the gap in the AL Central race against the division-leading Detroit Tigers this Thursday night in the first of an extended five-game weekend showdown at Kauffman Stadium that includes a Friday doubleheader. This Game 1 clash is slated to get underway at 7:08 p.m. (ET), and it will be available on MLB Extra Innings. Read More >>
NBA Picks: Bobcats Trying to Become Competitive
by Aaron Smith - 8/14/2013
Not all NBA teams have the same goal at the beginning of every season. For a team like the Charlotte Bobcats, no doubt the goal is to simply be competitive this year. While the players and management might say their goals are set to reach the playoffs, deep down they know that first they have to take baby steps and become competitive. Read More >>
MLB Picks: Mariners at Rays Odds and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 8/14/2013
Why does Seattle Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik still have a job? He was hired away from the Milwaukee Brewers in October 2008, a season after the Mariners were 61-101. Seattle showed some improvement the next year, going 85-77, but it was back to 101 losses in 2010 and the team is on track for a fourth straight losing season. Read More >>
MLB Picks: Mariners at Rays Odds and Predictions
by Dave Schwab - 8/13/2013
The Seattle Mariners and the Tampa Bay Rays clash this week at Tropicana Field in a three-game series starting this Tuesday night. Game 1 is set to get underway at 7:10 p.m. (ET), and it will be available on MLB Extra Innings. Read More >>
MLB Picks: Reds at Cubs Odds and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 8/12/2013
Want to know why the Cincinnati Reds didn't make a move for a bat before the July 31 trade deadline? Because of outfielder Ryan Ludwick. He was lost on Opening Day to a shoulder injury but appears set to return Monday when the Reds open a series in Wrigley Field against the Cubs. It's a potentially huge addition -- certainly no hitter that was traded, including Chicago's Alex Rios to Texas over the weekend, is better than Ludwick. Read More >>
MLB Picks: Red Sox at Royals Odds and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 8/10/2013
The Kansas City Royals entered the All-Star break having lost five straight to drop to 43-49. I think Manager Ned Yost was in some trouble. The team was eight games out of the AL Central lead. However, entering Friday's Game 2 of their series against the visiting Boston Red Sox, the Royals had won 16 of 20 to climb to 59-53. So of course Kansas City must have gained a bunch of games on the AL Central-leading Detroit Tigers, right? Uh, no. The Royals are 8.5 games back of the Tigers, who are even hotter than Kansas City is. Read More >>
MLB Picks: Tigers at Yankees Odds and Predictions
by Alan Matthews - 8/9/2013
Let's stop this nonsense of the New York Yankees having any chance at the playoffs. It's a fact they will miss out for just the second time since the Jeter-Rivera-Posada dynasty started in 1995. We should be focusing more on whether the Yankees can finish above .500. Their last losing season was in 1992, which was their fourth straight losing year at the time. Read More >>
NFL Picks: 2013 Chicago Bears Predictions and NFL Futures Odds
by Alan Matthews - 8/8/2013
Coach Lovie Smith led the Chicago Bears to a combined mark of 18-14 the past two seasons. If he does that in Buffalo, he gets a contract extension. In Chicago. he got the gate. The main problem under Smith is that while his defense was annually terrific and was easily the best in the NFL at forcing turnovers, he could never find the right offensive coordinator to spark Jay Cutler and those quarterbacks before him.
