The Indians destroy lefties which doesn’t bode well for the White Sox with a struggling Hector Santiago on the mound. Cleveland starter Clevinger has been doing his part all season and comes into this off five consecutive quality starts. The problem here is the number. Is there ever any value in laying -270?
Navy hasn’t played much in terms of quality but they’re 2-0 and are rested coming into this game. The triple-option is tough to defend for most teams and Memphis knows that too well after falling to the Midshipmen 22-21 last season. Get Dan’s full analysis and Week 5 betting prediction.
Astros starter Wade Miley got blown up in back to back starts but rebounded nicely in his latest. He’s had a lot of success versus the Angels this season allowing four earned runs in three starts all won by Houston. Based on the probable starters the line when it comes out will be large, making maybe a run line pay the best bet.
The Dodgers long time ace Clayton Kershaw hit a bump in the road with two poor outings but rebounded somewhat recording a quality start in his latest. The Rockies send out rookie Peter Lambert who rarely pitch-es a good one. LAD backers will have to lay -320 if they want to bet the money line. Read on to get Dan’s sug-gested wager.

Bug meets windshield Saturday as Southern Miss will be Bama’s latest victim at Bryant-Denny Stadium. A whopping 70% are backing the Tide here. The problem is that teams laying this many points usually only cover at a 34% clip. Nice value here with the bug!
Like Bama, the Clemson Tigers host in a bug meets windshield event where one has to wonder what the motivation will be to crush the lesser squad. Often times, players don’t get up for these games and the coach ends up pulling first stringers resulting in the lesser team covering. Underdogs in this spot cover almost 65% of the time.
The best time to invest is when you can buy low. The same can be said for football betting, as point spreads are based on public perception. Everybody is down on the Vols and this is a nice buy low opportunity. See Dan’s take here!
The Braves host the Phillies in the second of a three-game set. The key question is whether Efflin can reverse his fortunes against the Braves who have ripped him for 12 runs in 9 1/3 innings pitched over three starts this season. Get Dan’s take and moneyline play.
Here’s the biggest question of this series: just how motivated are the Reds going to be? While the Cubs have every reason to want this game, the Reds don’t have anything to play for other than pride and jobs. That’s a great reason to put forth a top individual performance, but it’s not so great when looking to earn a result as a team, especially against a motivated opponent.
