September 17th results-
Milwaukee- Won 10-1
West Virginia- Won 37-31
Auburn- Lost 38-24
Record for dayh 2-1
Record for month 23-5
I'm going to take tomorrow off as far as writeups go, but here are a few picks you should be interested
in.
Green Bay wins by double digits-
Drew Brees throws for 251+ yards- Hard to turn this down. Brees almost always goes well over 251+
Phillies win- Hamels is a great pitcher, and he has the leisure of pitching at home. Carpenter is a good pitcher. I'll take the great over the good.
Hamels records a strikeout in the 1st- Goes back to him being a great pitcher. He averages about 8 strikeouts a game. I usually hate risking picks like this, but this one isn't that bad.
These are all picks I would make. I hope it helps tomorrow...
Would love to hear any comments you have about anything. Good luck

September 17th Picks
I will get results from today up soon.
Pick #1 Milwaukee Brewers
After defeating the the Reds 6-3 last night with Randy Wolf, the Brewers look to continue that same success tonight with Yovani Gillardo. Gillardo, who has posted a 3.66 ERA, 16-10 record, 1.24 whip and 183 strikeouts, saw some action against them back in April and struggled a bit. However, Gillardo has looked pretty good ever since. The Reds will start Edinson Volquez who has put up a 5.80 ERA, 1.63 whip, 5-5 record and 88 strikeouts. Gillardo looks a lot better on paper and with batting being pretty even, I like Milwaukee.
Possible Pick #1 West Virginia Mountaineers
West Virginia heads into Maryland tomorrow bringing with them a 2-0 record and a very good passing attack. West Virginia has looked decent so far, but wasn't as productive as expected against Marshall (which they won 34-13) and trailed the barely known Norfolk State 12-10 at halftime before a 55-12 blowout win. West Virginia has looked very good in the passing game. West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith has completed 46 of 69 for 620 yards, 6 touchdowns and no interceptions. While West Virginia's wide receivers Devon Brown (8 catches, 151 yds, 1 TD) and Stedman Bailey (7 catches, 116 yds, 1 TD) have given great support and have been very productive. However, West Virginia's running game may be a concern. Only averaging 72 yards in their last two games to pretty mediocre opponents. Both of which I feel are definitely not as good as Maryland. If West Vrginia can't get their running game going, that will put a lot of pressure on their passing game, and I believe that will make them pretty predictable. If Maryand can adjust to West Virginia's passing game and shut it down, the Mountaineers will be in trouble.
Maryland will host West Virginia after defeating a Miami team consisting of ineligible players, injuries, and off-season suspensions. So we really don't know the quality of the Miami team Maryland beat. Judging from what we saw in that game, Miami seems to be a middle-of-the-pack team. Maryland's offense was very effective in that game. In both the passing game, where Danny O'Brian completed 31 of 44 for 348 yards, 1 TD and 1 interception, and the running game where Maryland racked up 151 total yards on the ground.
Maryland is a good team and at home they make me nervous. However, we still don't know where they stand as well as we do with West Virginia. West Virginia hasn't played pretty, but they have played hard every quarter and have performed well in both the first and second half. If they play 4 quarters like they have in their 2 opening games, I don't think they will have a problem getting the win. Not that it will be easy, but West Virginia I think will pull this out by at least 3.
Possible Pick #2 Auburn Tigers
This game starts in 20 minutes so I dont have a lot of time. Anyway, a very ugly but winning Auburn team travels to play Clemson today. Auburn hasn't looked pretty in either of its two opening season wins. Beating Utah State after recovering an onside kick to win 42-38. Clemson looked impressive against Troy but struggled a bit against Wofford at home a week later, resulting in a 35-27 win. Auburn needs to be on upset alert for sure, but after beating Mississippi State last week, I think Auburn's quality of wins is better than Clemson's. Utah State blew out Weber State 54-17, I think they are a middle of the pack team. Not really good or bad. This one will be close, but if Auburn takes the same amount of luck they have had into Clemson today, I think they will pull out the win. Auburn by 3.
I will be staying away from both the Auburn and West Virginia game just to let you know. Hopefully this helps those that are considering the two.

September 16th Picks
September 15th pick result
LSU- Won 19-6
Record for day 1-0
Record for the month 21-4
Possible Pick #1 Dynamo Dresden W/D
Ingolstadt is just an aweful team. However, at home they tend to play pretty well. Ingolstadt is 1-2-4 so far this year, and has scored just 5 goals with a -9 goal difference. Dynamo, going on the road, is 2-1-4 scored 7 goals and has a -1 goal difference. Dynamo isn't a whole lot better, but Dynamo's defense and draw option are what should give them an advantage. I do not think homefeild advantage will be enough for Ingolstadt to pull out a win, so a draw to me seems like the most appropriate outcome between these two teams.
Possible pick #2 Boston
With Beckett pitching they should stand a pretty good chance. I expect a close game since Sheilds will be pitching for Tampa (sorry such a plain writeup).
Tomorrow I will have a lot up. I have a lot to write about thanks to college football. It will have much more information and more detail than today.

Possible Pick #3 Arizona Diamondbacks
Wade Miley hasn't played enough games to impress me whole lot, but from his 4 starts he looks like a pretty decent pitcher. Posting a 4.5 ERA, 3-1 record, 19 strikeouts, 1.75 WHIP. He helped lead Arizona to a 6-5 win in his last start at home. The Padres will start Tim Stauffer who has been pretty impressive despite his 8-12 record. He has posted a 3.87 ERA, 122 strikeouts, 1.28 WHIP this season.
Honestly, I would stay away from this one and the Boston game unless you are desperate for a win. I'm not adding those 2 games to my record. Dynamo however, I was sadly mistaken.

September 15th LSU vs. Miss State Pick Overview
September 14th pick results
LA Angels- Won 4-1
4 pitches or more- Won (11 pitches)
Record for day 2-0
Record for month 22-4
This will be my only writeup for tomorrow more than likely...
Pick #1 LSU
LSU goes into Mississippi State's revived hostile environment tomorrow night. Taking with them a 2-0 record that includes an impressive 40-27 win aginst then-ranked #3 Oregon. LSU will play once again without quarterback Jordan Jefferson and reciever Russell Sheppard. So far it hasn't been a major problem. LSU Senior quarterback Jarett Lee has proven to be a simple yet, effective quarterback. He has certainly gotten the job done for LSU over the last couple of weeks. However, LSU's offense as a whole has been pretty average at best overall and very poor for a top 5 team. Ranking 89th in total yards, 101st in passing and 40th in rushing, LSU's defense will have to continue to step it up. I think they can. Though giving up 27 points to Oregon, you have to remember, it's Oregon. Oregon had an increadibly high powered offense last season and already ranks 9th this season in scoring after beating Nevada 69-20. With the return of Darren Thomas and LaMichael James, you have to assume they will have similar results this season more or less. Oregon has a better offense than Mississippi State, and I think LSU can contain things pretty well tomorrow night.
Mississippi State has just 5 days to prepare after a heartbreaking loss to a struggling Auburn team. Auburn nearly lost to Utah State a week before hosting the Bulldogs. If the Bulldogs can't beat a struggling (but pretty good) Auburn team, I don't see them pulling off a win against and LSU team that handled Oregon very well. I'm not saying Mississippi State doesn't have a shot, but with such a devastating loss so recently, I think the Bulldogs passion will be a little down. Or it may have the opposite affect. Possibly it will be what fuels the fire playing rival LSU to show the nation they are more than a top 25 team. Either way, I like my chances with LSU overall. Even if they lose, I'll let my streak go down with them.

September 13th pick results:
Texas Rangers- Won 10-4
Kansas City Royals- Won 4-0
Arizona Diamondbacks- Won 5-4
Record for the day 3-0
Record for month 20-4
I really caught a break yesterday with Arizona. Great ending to a great game.
I don't really have a lot of time to go into a lot of detail today, but I do see a couple of picks I like...
Pick #1 LA Angels
The Angels will start Jared Weaver on the mound today. Arguably the best pitcher on the Angels, he is already 3-0 this season against the A's. Posting a 2.44 ERA, 16-7 record, 187 so, 1.01 WHIP in 23 starts. With batting being pretty equal for both teams, I think Weaver will be the difference. The Angels may only need a few runs to win.
Oakland will start Rich Harden, who helped the A's defeat the Angels 4-3 back in July. Posting a 5.00 ERA and giving up 4 hits. 2 of which were homeruns.
Possible Pick #1 4 pitches or more
I feel like these are usually the most upredictable. However, It seems most everytime this prop has been up, it has been about 3 or 4 pitches. Depending on who gets the start, you may want to go 4 or more. If Jeter starts though, I would probably stay away or possibly go 3 or less.
