I'm going with Brad Radke<P>Twins-105<P>Good Luck,<BR> BH

colorado -135 over dodgers.....mike hampton at home at this low a price is a good deal.

I'm going with North Carolina State -6.5 for my POTD. Really like head coach D'Amato and QB Rivers --- who has supposedly looked exceedingly sharp in fall camp --- for NCSU. Expect the Wolfies to rely more on the running of Ray Robinson since Koren Robinson went pro. Should wear down Hoosier D and allow for a late NCSU pull-away. <P>Daredevil

Philadelphia (Person) @ Montreal (Pavano)<P> Going with the visiting Phillies here to get a win against a horrible pitcher!<P> Person is 13-6 on the year ERA of 4.27, in his last 3 starts he 3-0 with a very solid ERA of 1.12, he is 3-0 in 5 starts against the Expos and his teams are 5-0 in those starts, he is 10-2 ERA of 3.48 when pitching under the lights! Pavano is just plain terrible he has 3 starts this year with an ERA of 20.52, in 6 starts against the Phillies the Expos are 1-5 and at home he is 0-1 with an ERA of 47.25.<P> Philly is 11-13 as a road favorite, 43-37 on turf, 49-41 at night, 31-38 on the road and 57-51 against righties batting a very poor .192 against them in their last 10 games but get the perfect pitcher to improve those numbers in Pavano. The Expos are 10-22 as a home underdog, 2-7 as a dog of +150 to +200, 35-44 on turf, 30-37 ay home, 37-62 at night and 42-59 vs. right handers batting .275 as a team against them in their last 10 games.<P> Anyone who follows my plays will tell you what I think about Larry Bowa I think he is a horrible coach and to be honest that is the only way I see them losing this game tonight if he makes the same idiotic calls he has, but I am willing to take a chance on a young team with a good pitcher that has a very solid record against the Expos, and against just a plain and simple terrible pitcher that shouldn't even be in the Major's.<P>Play Philadelphia -160 <P><BR>

White sox -130 (wsex)<P>Sox are 13-1 vs Detroit the last 14 games<BR>Weaver is 0-5 last 5 games<P>Hasta la vista

I agree with Robert Irish that the Phillies are worth a look today, but refuse to lay da big wood with a slumping team. <P>Instead, lets parlay Phillies -160 /ChiSox -140. Bet pays +178 - a nice return.<P>Although I am nervous about putting money on the Phillies, this matchup is just too huge to ignore. Person has been absolutely incredible the last 3 starts while Pavano has been just as bad. Let's hope they don't screw this one up somehow.<P>Detroit appears to have major problems just getting a runner on base, much less scoring runs. Meanwhile, the White Sox are playing great ball, winning 12 out of the last 16 games. Oh, and they have defeated the Tigers in 13 out of the last 14 meetings.

Col -130

NC St -6 @SOS<BR>Randle El has been the bulk of IU's offense,<BR>1270 rushing yds (13 tds) and 1783 yds passing (10 tds) last year. He has been moved from QB to WR where he will touch the ball much less often. Unless IU learned how to play defense, which I doubt, I can't see them matching points with NC St.

LOVE THE MIL/HOU GAME TO GO Ov10. COPPINGER MIGHT BE THE WORST PITCHER OF ALL TIME NEXT TO ACEVEDO.
