    Daily Sports Roundup

    Thursday, August 7

    Week 1 of the National Football League's preseason schedule kicks off Thursday, with the Pats hosting the Ravens at Gillette Stadium. Here's your Daily Sports Roundup . . .

    Event of the day . . .

    The Patriots were 16-0 during the regular season last year. The Ravens were 5-11. Still, that doesn't mean much in an exhibition contest, which is why New England is a mere 4-point home favorite (with the total sitting at 34) for Thursday night. Don't expect Golden Boy Tom Brady to see much action in this contest, and main weapons Randy Moss and Wes Welker aren't likely to be taxed either.

    The Ravens, though, have a quarterback question to answer. Kyle Boller is slated to get the start behind center for Baltimore, with Troy Smith and Joe Flacco both getting an opportunity to impress as well. Local reports suggest that Smith is currently the favorite to win the team's starting quarterback gig, so Boller will want to avoid an off-night even if the game means nothing in the standings.

    Non-event of the day . . .

    There are several contending teams in the NL Central. The Astros and the Reds aren't among them. Houston and Cincinnati begin a series on Thursday night, with Astros ace Roy Oswalt (8-8, 4.74 ERA) taking on the Reds' Josh Fogg (2-3, 7.57 ERA). Oswalt has given up four earned runs in each of his last two outings, but Houston manage to win those contests. Fogg is 1-1 with three no-decisions since re-joining the rotation.

    Also on the schedule . . .

    Cole Hamels (9-7, 3.37 ERA) pitches for the Phillies at home against the Marlins on Thursday. Also on tap in the National League: San Diego at the Mets, the Dodgers at St. Louis, Washington at Colorado, and Atlanta at Arizona. In the AL it's Oakland at Toronto, the Yankees at Texas, Detroit at the White Sox, and Tampa Bay at Seattle.

    The Giants will open their Super Bowl defense with a preseason game at Ford Field against the Lions on Thursday; Detroit is a 3-point favorite. Elsewhere, it's the Jets at Cleveland (-3), Kansas City at Chicago (-3), and New Orleans at Arizona (-2.5).

    Up in the Canadian Football League the games are for real on Thursday, with Toronto at Hamilton, and Calgary at Saskatchewan. The Argonauts are a 2.5-point road favorite against the Tiger-Cats (with a total of 50), while the Roughriders are listed as 3-point favorites at home against the Stampeders (with a total of 52).

    Finally, the 2008 PGA Championship tees off on Thursday, with favored Phil Mic KELSO n looking to take a lead into the tourney's later stages - and then avoid a major meltdown. Lefty is the 8/1 favorite to win the tournament, with Ernie Els at 12/1, and each of Vijay Singh, Padraig Harrington, Sergio Garcia, and Jim Furyk entering the event at 15/1.

    News from the wire . . .

    The Orioles' offense got a little weaker after outfielder Adam Jones was placed on the disabled list on Tuesday . . . Mets closer Billy Wagner went on the DL as well, while Cubs closer Kerry Wood is back from injury . . . Mariners DH Jose Vidro was designated for assignment . . . Saints WR Marques Colston, TE Jeremy Shockey, and RB Deuce McAllister will all miss Thursday's game. . . Bears QB Kyle Orton will get the start behind center on Thursday night, but Rex Grossman will get equal time.

    Peek at the future . . .

    Friday's NFL preseason schedule includes the battle of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia at Pittsburgh) and the battle of the Bay Area (San Francisco at Oakland) . . . Jon Lester will take on Mark Buehrle in Friday's Red Sox/White Sox matchup . . . Jeff Gordon is the 5/1 Vegas favorite to win this weekend's Centurion Boats at the Glen.

      Six-pack for Thursday

      -- Rays scored six runs in 9th inning without making an out as they beat Cleveland, 10-7. Gross, Pena homered in ninth.

      -- They drew 27,533 for a Wednesday day game at The Trop.

      -- Derek Lowe gave up hits to 13 of 22 batters he faced as the Cardinals beat LA again, 9-6. Manny hit HR #3 as a Dodger.

      -- Dodger pitching coach Honeycutt went to mound to talk to Lowe with Pujols up and bags full in a 3-3 game. As soon as Honeycutt went back to dugout, Pujols crushed the ball about 420 feet. Game over. Wonder what Honeycutt said.

      -- Lincecum beat Atlanta 3-2, is now 11-3 for a bad ballclub.

      -- Bronx castoff Karstens two-hit Arizona 2-0, is now 2-0 as a Pirate, tossing 15 shutout innings at two first-place teams.

        Thursday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but.........

        13) Michigan might not have a such a great football season; in their season opener vs Utah, Wolverines are favored by a mere 3.5 points over the Utes. In Ann Arbor. An ominous number.

        12) Mets have used twelve different leftfielders this season.

        11) BJ Upton, Ryan Garko both got benched in Tampa for not running out ground balls. Dog days of August are here.

        10) Think people at the Packer Gift Shop who ordered all those green #12 jerseys were relieved when Brett Favre got back on the plane for Mississippi?

        9) According to my calculations, from November 10-March 20, from start of college basketball season to end of first week of NCAA tournament, is 131 days. According to a terrific website www.statsheet.com, college hoop referee Steve Welmer reffed 111 games last season. Not many days off there.

        8) Interesting year looms for Tennessee's football team; Vols have lot of new assistant coaches, a new QB- they've finished in top 10 just twice in last nine years, with no SEC titles. In the wacky world of the SEC, this isn't good news.

        7) NC State's football team can make a quantum leap forward if they can just break even in turnovers; the last four years, their turnover ratios: -16/-11/even/-17, for total of -44. The year they were even in turnovers, they went 7-5. Tom O'Brien is a terrific coach-- expect the Wolfpack to go bowling soon.

        6) Hey, did you know Moscow, Idaho is the day pea and lentil capital of the world? You learn fun stuff here every day.

        5) Marlins have been invigorated by returns of Anibel Sanchez and Josh Johnson; they've won six of their seven starts. These two helped Joe Girardi's Marlins overachieve two years ago-- seeing as Hughes/Chamberlain are also now hurt, is it fair to ask if Girardi knows how to handle young pitchers?

        4) If you go see the Tigers when Nate Robertson pitches, you get your money's worth; four of his last seven starts went to extra innings, including 11-10/14-12 and 10-8 games.

        3) The 2004 Colorado Rockies blew 34 saves, most of any team since 1954; this year's Cardinals have already blown 27 saves.

        2) Olympic hoop team shot 3-18 from arc, 20-33 from foul line in a closer-than-expected 87-76 win over Australia; teams have to try and create a half-court game against the Americans, hoping they don't shoot well. Fast games will result in American wins. Interesting to see how other teams handle their pressure.

        1) I once rebounded for a guy who made 137 foul shots in row; very weird thing; I stood under the hoop, held my right hand out, caught the ball out of the net, and flicked it back to him. For like an hour. This guy is terrific guy, but shooting was his one and only basketball skill-- if he could make 137 foul shots in a row, why can't our Olympic team shoot better than 65%?

                    CFL Week 7 Previews
                    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                    The Bookmaker have adjusted their totals the last 3 weeks of the CFL season, the average O/U during Week 1 to Week 3 was between 48.0 and 48.5. However, now that the offenses have gelled and are putting up some big numbers on the board, the oddsmakers have raised their totals between 51.0 to 53.0 the last 3 weeks. Look for more games to go UNDER the total in Week 7, as you had all four totals go under the total in week 1, the OVER was 3-1 Week 2, 3 and 4. Then, we had a few "even-Stevens" of 2-2 during Week 5 and 6.

                    Plus, many teams have some key injuries this week, so look for the lines to start going down.

                    Here are my CFL previews for Week 7. Enjoy!


                    Thursday, August 7

                    Toronto (-2.5) vs. Hamilton (50.5)

                    Argonauts @ Tiger Cats History: The Argos are 11-10-1 (ATS), 12-9-1 (SU) and the Over/Under is 9-13-0 since '96.

                    Comment: Whenever I watch a Hamilton Tiger Cats football game, I'm wondering if Head Coach Charlie Taaffe has a game plan in mind. In fact, not only should the blame go towards Charlie Taaffe, but what exactly is Bob O'Billovich doing as the GM for Bob Young's Football club. Shouldn't O'Billovich be bringing real receivers to help out the QB by committee these days? When is Timmy Chang expected to save the season? Furthermore, it's time the Tiger Cats trade Jesse Lumsden, because in 2 seasons in the CFL, he's shown to be injury prone and the Tiger Cats can't afford to have a running back with this much potential on the IR each week. Now is the time to release Lumsden to another team and try to get a more consistent player who will be in the line up 80% of the season. You cannot establish a running game when your top running back is always injured. Jesse Lumsden seems to be a great kid and is well respected by his teammates and peers, but he's useless to the Tiger Cats if he's always injured. As for the Week 7 meeting between the Argonauts and Tiger Cats, it could be a game that decides the faith of the Tiger Cats head coach and you might get a better performance from the Ti-Cats. Hamilton has been labeled a -2.5 point road favorite vs. the Tabbies and whenever Hamilton is a +3.0 or less home underdog, they are 8-9-0 ATS, 5-11-1 SU and the O/U is 7-10-0 since 1996. The Argos seemed to have avoided a QB controversy, as Kerry Joseph seems to have taken the reigns of the offense and they've been averaging 25.33 points per game in their last 3 contest. Toronto is 2-1 SU in their last 3 games and their defense stepped up to the plate last weekend vs. Winnipeg.

                    Forecast: Toronto winning by 0.92 points and the O/U to land on 51.34 points.

                    Stat of the Game: When TORONTO team played as a pk to 3 Road Favorite - Coming off a game scored 17 points or more; The UNDER is 8-2-0 for the Argonauts.



                    Calgary (52.5) vs. Saskatchewan (-3)

                    Lions @ Eskimos History: The Stampeders are 10-9-0 (ATS), 10-8-1 (SU) and the Over/Under is 10-9-0 since '96.

                    Comment: When watching the Roughriders vs. Stampeders game last weekend, I started to think if the Saskatchewan Roughriders where our edition of the New England Patriots. However, New England was blowing out teams in the first 3 games and averaging 38 points per game. However, the Saskatchewan Roughriders have been living and dying by the sword, as they've been waiting until the last 3 minutes of the game to close out their opponents the last 4 weeks. In fact, there comes a point where one has to wonder if these Roughriders are for real? Ken Miller has the best defense in the league and it's very hard to run against these guys and Wes Cates is the early favorite on winning the Most Outstanding Player thus far. Cates has been spectacular on offense rushing or catching the ball out of the backfield and one has to wonder if he might get another sniff at the NFL if he continues this pace. The Roughriders are a perfect 6-0 SU and ATS and the UNDER is 4-2-0 on the season. The Green Riders have average 30.67 PF on offense and are only giving up 22.17 against, but things could get a little tougher for Miller's men in August. Because, when Saskatchewan is a home team during the month of August between weeks 4 to 8, they are 3-8 SU and ATS. Calgary got rolling late last weekend, as Henry Burris was very inconsistent for 2 and a half quarters, but once he got his confidence going, it was just a matter of time before they made a game out of it at home. I'm still wondering why John Hufnagel opted to run the ball with a running back late in the game on a 3rd and 1, when it would have been better to sneak it with Burris. The Stampeders are in a nice handicapping spot this week; they are 8-3-1 on the road coming off a 0-3 point home lost since '96.

                    Forecast: Saskatchewan winning by 2.52 points and the O/U to land on 52.91 points.

                    Stat of the Game: When SASKATCHEWAN team played as a Home team - Coming off a Road win as a Underdog; The OVER is 10-2-0 for the Roughriders in this role.



                    Friday, August 8

                    Montreal (-3) vs. Winnipeg (54)

                    Alouettes @ Blue Bombers History: The Alouettes are 7-11-1 (ATS), 10-9 (SU) and the Over/Under is 10-8-1 since '96.

                    Comment: The Montreal Alouettes finally delivered a victory to its fans last week at Molson Percival Stadium vs. the Hamilton Tiger Cats. OK, it's not that surprising they won as a -10.0 point home favorite, but considering they've lost 3 games prior to their tilt with the Tabbies, Montreal was always finding a way to lose games. Montreal is a good football team, but they lack the killer instinct to put teams away and I'm starting to wonder if Marc Trestman is too conservative as a head coach. Keep in mind, this was a offensive coordinator who was at NC State and seen 9 out of 10 games go under the total. Whenever you have that many unders in a season, this tells me the coach wants to control the clock and run the game out. In fact, according to his Wikipedia bio, it states the following phrase; "Trestman spent the 2004 season with the Miami Dolphins and in 2005 he returned to college football as the North Carolina State Wolfpack offensive coordinator where he was known for being a conservative play-caller." Does this sound like a head coach who wants to run and gun? The Alouettes get some players back on defense this week and they could use the help, as they've allowed 36.67 points against in their last 3 games. Furthermore, whenever you allowed the Hamilton Tiger Cats to hang 33 points on you at home, you know the Alouettes concentrated allot of minor details to defense and don't be surprised if they returned to the basics. Winnipeg on the other hand has gone from the Penthouse to the Outhouse in a matter of 9 months! The Blue Bombers are not in a good sports handicapping situation this Friday Night, they are 3-7 SU as a home underdog in August since '96 and the UNDER is 7-3-0. As for Doug Berry's move to replace Kevin Glenn with former Boise State star Ryan Dinwiddie. Well, Matt Dunnigan said it best last week on the CFL panel on TSN, Ryan Dinwiddie has a pop gun for an arm! Watching the game last week between the Bombers and Argos, I noticed allot of Dinwiddie's passes were floaters and had no tight spirals or speed. If you're a totals players, here's a great team trend that backs up the under. When a Montreal team played on the road on 7 days rest, during Week 4 to 8 and they care coming off a Home straight up win as a Favorite; the UNDER is 8-2-0 for the Alouettes in this spot since '96.

                    forecast: Montreal winning by 12.02 points and the O/U to land on 56.03 points.

                    Stat of the Game: When ANY CFL Team played as a Home team -Vs Montreal opponent -With 6 day off -Before a division game - Allowed score 17 points or more against; The OVER is 12-2-0 for the Home Team (Winnipeg) in this spot.



                    Edmonton (55) vs. BC Lions (-6)

                    Eskimos @ Lions History: The Eskimos are 11-7-2 (ATS), 9-11 (SU) and the Over/Under is 8-11-1 since '96.

                    Comment: The Edmonton Eskimos pulled off a Hollywood ending last week at home vs. the BC Lions. After starting slowly out of the gate, Ricky Ray hit Kamau Peterson over the middle and he got leveled by a Lions secondary. However, Peterson rose to his feet, flipped his jersey up and pointed to the 83 on his stomach in honor of his fallen comrade Jason Tucker who suffered a serious neck injury 2 weeks ago in Hamilton. It truly was an inspiring performance to see the Eskimos rally around their teammate and after that catch, it was all over for the Lions, as the Eskimos confidence grew on each play afterwards. The Eskimos have really turned the corner and have been playing with more consistency on offense and Ricky Ray has found some reliable receivers. Edmonton is on a 2 game winning streak and has won 4 of their last 5 games. However, they will be in a tough spot this Friday night at BC Place; the Lions have won 4 straight in BC and 6 of the last 7 meetings. If you're a law of average handicapper, the bookmakers agree with the theory, they've placed the Lions a -6.0 point home favorite, the Eskimos won game one of this back to back series. However, the Lions have a history of not showing up at home after scoring 24 points or less in their previous game. In fact, when the BC Lions played as a Home team during Week 4 to 8 and they are coming off a game where they scored 24 points or less; the Leo's are 2-9 SU. What bothers me with this Lions teams is the inconsistency at the QB position. One week Jarious Jackson is hitting his receivers in stride, other weeks he's 5 to 10 yards off his throws. Jackson is more dangerous when he's running the ball and Wally Buono should really consider using some sprint out passing plays that allows Jackson to pass or tuck it and run. One of the best type of plays for Jackson is one of those counter option plays, where the offense can run counter plays using the pulling guard and then option off that counter play and use a roll out to the opposite side to throw the ball. Nevertheless, Buono needs to find a way to get Jackson out of the pocket and get him in a situation where he can start running. When I look at Jarious Jackson I see Tracy Ham, Damon Allen, Kerry Joseph, and JC Watts, quarterbacks who knew when to tuck it and run.

                    forecast: Edmonton winning by 4.3 points and the O/U to land on 56.30 points.

                    Stat of the Game: When BRITISH COLUMBIA team played as Home team as a Favorite -Vs Division Opponent -Playing on Friday; the BC Lions are 14-3 SU in this role since '96.

                    Good luck and remember, this is the CFL, anything can happen during the 3 minute warning! Trust me; I've got the scars to prove it!

                      Today's Streaking and Slumping Pitchers
                      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                      Streaking

                      A.J. Burnett, Toronto Blue Jays (13-9, 4.57)

                      Don't let the mediocre ERA fool you; Burnett has been a major moneymaker for Jays backers. He's coming off a three-game winning streak during which he's allowed just five earned runs and struck out 21. That's what you call serious power. Overall, Burnett has racked up mucho dinero for bettors as he's led the Blue Jays to wins in seven of his last 10 starts. He's always been at his best in August, so the hot streak isn't likely to come to an end against Oakland today.

                      Clayton Kershaw, Los Angeles Dodgers (1-3, 4.02)

                      It's hard to call it a streak - Kershaw has only started four games this season. Nonetheless, it's still worth noting that his last two starts were shutout performances for the rookie left-hander. He held the hapless Nationals scoreless for six innings on July 27, which is one thing, but he followed that up with six shutout innings against a much more respectable Arizona Diamondbacks lineup. After that performance, Arizona's manager Bob Melvin had nothing but praise for the 20-year-old.

                      "He's got great stuff. I mean, you can see why they're pretty excited about him," Melvin said of Kershaw. "I think he was throwing a little harder than the gun would suggest. He had a real good curveball and it seemed like he could throw it all counts. He's definitely something to be excited about."



                      Slumping

                      Cole Hamels, Philadelphia Phillies (9-7, 3.37)

                      For most pitchers this sort of performance wouldn't qualify as a slump, but it's well below what bettors have come to expect (and pay for) from Hamels. He's allowed four earned runs in each of his last two starts and hasn't shown the same kind of overpowering stuff that Phillies fans are used to seeing in his starts. Rumors are swirling that the oft-injured Hamels is attempting to pitch through an elbow problem as the Phillies make a run for the playoffs and that's the reason for his lack of effectiveness. Whether or not these rumors are true is up for debate, but bettors can't dispute that a 5-5 record over his last 10 starts isn't enough for a guy that regularly sees prices upwards of -160.

                          Marlins: Chris Volstad will try to bounce back from his worst outing of the season and remain unbeaten ont he road when he faces the Phillies for the first time. Volstad gave up five runs and eight hits in five innings last time out at home against the Rockies. He had allowed six runs combined in his first four outings totaling 22.2 innings, with Florida going 3-1 in those games. Volstad is 2-0 in road starts at Chicago, Los Angeles and Colorado during that stretch to go along with a stellar 1.62 ERA.

                          Marlins are 11-5 in their last 16 games as an underdog.
                          The UNDER is 4-1 in the last 5 games overall.

                          Phillies (-220, O/U 9): Cole Hamels has yet to earn a win since the All-Star break, going 0-1 with two no-decisions. One of those no-decisions came at Florida on July 20 after he gave up two runs and four hits in eight innings of an eventual 3-2 loss. Hamels is just 2-3 in seven lifetime starts against the Marlins with a 4.34 ERA. He is also 5-5 in 13 home starts despite a very solid 3.08 ERA.

                          Yankees (-155, O/U 12): Mike Mussina has become the ace of New York's pitching staff, even more so after Joba Chamberlain was placed on the DL with a shoulder injury. Mussina is coming off an outstanding start against the Angels on Saturday, giving up just one earned run and two hits in seven innings of an 8-2 win. He has also been great on the road this year, going 5-1 in seven starts with a 3.43 ERA. However, Mussina suffered a tough 2-1 loss the last time he faced Texas, giving up both runs and five hits in six innings back on June 30.

                          PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

                          Rangers: Scott Feldman will look to duplicate his last start against the Yankees, which resulted in a 2-1 win on June 30 when he was opposed by Mussina. Feldman went five innings and allowed just one run and four hits with three walks and three strikeouts. He has earned two wins in five starts since then, with both of them taking place on the road. Feldman is 1-1 in nine home starts with a 4.80 ERA and walked away with a no-decision last time out there against the Blue Jays on Saturday.

                          Rangers are 8-22 in the last 30 meetings at Texas.
                          The OVER is 11-3-1 in Texas' last 15 games overall.

Sonnanstine lost three straight starts after seeing the Rays win six in a row with him on the mound, but he bounced back with a victory against the Tigers last time out on Saturday. He gave up just two runs and seven hits to the Tigers in six innings, walking one and striking out six. Sonnanstine is 5-3 on the road with a 4.71 ERA.

                          The UNDER is 20-7 in Tampa Bay's last 27 road games.
                          The UNDER is 10-4 in Tampa Bay's last 14 games overall.
