Neither team playing starters but still feel Indy wants to win while Chicago does not care. Matt Nagy has said multiple time health is his only concern in this game and the Bears have gained 252 and 165 yards with a combined 23 FD’s. Indy while resting starters last week was impressive with a 382-271 yard edge are playing their starters more this week and I like the Colts to get a comfortable win tonight.

Miami has a freshman QB who was given the nod over the Ohio State transfer and he has only played in 3 real snaps and that was against Savannah State. We were high on Florida last year and the Gators return 8 defensive starters and we have always been very high on Dan Mullen as a coach and though Miami is a defensive minded team with a lot of new coaches. Plus, Miami starts two freshman offensive lineman and that won't bode well against an experienced and fast Flordia defensive line. Miami doesn’t have anyone it can trust with its offense at this point, and Florida can play defense pretty well. That’s a bad combination and I like the Gators to roll. Lets back Florida by 13-21 pts here on Saturday night.

Hyun-Jin Ryu is 12-3 with a 1.64 ERA this season and he is 9-0 with a 0.81 ERA at home. Hyun Jin Ryu should just get the Cy Young Award now with his 1.73 ERA and 0.95 WHIP which at home is even better (0.81 ERA and 0.80 WHIP) where the Dodgers are 11-0 in his starts.
LA has gone 29-7 as a non-division HF while the NYY are 1-7 their last 8 games in the -120 to +150 line range on the road. James Paxton is 9-6 with a 4.53 ERA this season and he is 4-3 with a 5.21 ERA on the road. The Dodgers are 51-16 at home this season, and the loss of the DH will and hurt the Yanks in a pitcher freindly ballpark.

Simply can’t believe the Yankees continue to get over-priced like they do especially after getting swept by the A’s. The Yanks offense will continue to struggle on this road trip as they take on the best team in MLB.

Some NFL head coaches place a big emphasis on winning and playing well in the preseason, and there are others who don't look like they care at all. The Lions under Patricia are 1-5 in the preseason since he took over last season. There's been zero indication he's making an effort to win these preseason games.
Patricia stated earlier this week that Stafford may not play again this week, and even if he does play it wont be for long. Take Buffalo in this one as they have Matt Barkley and Tyree Jackson coming in after Josh Allen on Friday night.

The Skins offense with just 217 and 212 their first two games whole earning a combined 20 FD’s. With the injuries the Redskins have suffered they needed to sign QB Jalen McClendon last week and he played. We all know Atlanta failed to cover 13 straight games but they are also 3-11 O/U in that same span scoring over 14 points just once. Washington said they want to work on the running game tonight so that will chew up some clock.
The Falcons will start Ryan but he won’t be in long as he actually played 14 attempts last week, which was their third game of the season because of the Hall of Fame game appearance.
Take the UNDER here.

In general, interleague games tend to go under just due to the fact of the unfamiliarity of the teams and pitchers. Civale takes the hill for the Indians, and he is off to an impressive start to his young career. He has a 1.50 ERA in 4 starts, but what is more impressive is the fact he has held elite offenses like the Yankees to just 2 earned runs, Twins 1 earned run, and Rangers 1 earned run.
Syndergaard has posted a 1.65 ERA with 25 strikeouts over his past four starts, three of which led the Mets to a win.

We have two pitchers motivated to do well, as they are both in the thick of the playoff race; hence we like this one to go under. The total has gone under in 3 of Syndergaard's last 4 starts. The under is 3-0-1 in Civale's last 4 starts.

I look for the Yankees and JA Happ to get a win here on road tonight. Holding the Yankees in check at the plate is a tough task to accomplish in consecutive nights. Look for the Yanks to bounce back with a win here behind their offense.

Boston only scored 2 runs last night on their home field.

I like the Red Sox to bounce back and avoid the quick 2-game sweep at home. Boston had won 5 straight before losing the series opener 3-2 on Tuesday. It really felt like the Red Sox gave that away as they had all the chances in the world to win that game late.





Philadelphia will be sending out Drew Smyly, who is a mere 2-5 with a 6.47 ERA and 1.594 WHIP in 14 starts. The Phillies are 1-5 in his last 6 road starts vs a team with a losing home record.

Red Sox will turn to Rick Porcello, who has been throwing a little better of late. He's got a 3.71 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in his last 3 starts.


Even with yesterday's loss Boston is 20-7 in their last 27 interleague games against a team with a winning record and 40-15 in their last 55 interleague home games. The RED SOX are the #1 team in Interleague play the past 10 years.

If that's not enough, Red Sox are 14-2 in Porcello's last 16 interleague starts. Take Boston!

The Yankees German 8-0 last eight overall team-starts, and 3-0 career team-starts in August, and 12-2 team-starts at night this season. The Yanks are also 17-3 when he starts. NY is the #1 offensive team for August and Oakland is near the bottom. The A's Homer Bailey 6.03 ERA last seven starts, and 2-9 last eleven team-starts in August. I always like NY after a day off as well and I look for them to win on Tuesday night.

The Cardinals are a below average team against left-handed pitching with just a .316 team OBA. Michael Wacha has really struggled this season and I'm projecting more of the same tonight with the tough Milwaukee bats. I'm backing Gio Gonzalez and the Brewers here tonight.
