Wake Forest-Baylor College Football Preview 8-28-08

After a strong finish to the 2007 season, the Wake Forest Demon Deacons open up the 2008 season ranked #23 in the nation. Their opener Thursday against the Baylor Bears will be a good litmus test for a team that appears to be on the verge of becoming a serious threat in the ACC.   Baylor started their 2007 campaign slowly with losses to Boston College and Nebraska before rattling off 6 wins in a row, finishing out their season by winning 9 of their last 11 games including a victory over the Connecticut... 

Yankees vs Red Sox MLB Free Pick and Preview 8-27-08

One of the best rivalries in all of sports, Yankees versus Red Sox might be lacking in terms of post-season implications compared to the last few seasons, but that doesn’t mean this isn’t an important series, particularly for the Boston Red Sox.   The Red Sox are currently holding on by a slim margin in the AL Wild Card standings, 2.5 games ahead of the Minnesota Twins at the time of this writing.  A quick look over the schedule will show you that the Twins have a slightly easier September... 

MLB Preview and Free Pick - Cardinals vs Brewers 8-26-08

This two-game series between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Milwaukee Brewers will have serious impact on the NL Wildcard race.   Milwaukee is currently the front-runner in the Wildcard standings, with St. Louis trailing them by 3.5 games.  The Brewers have the tougher schedule ahead, so they really need to extend their lead if they would like a little more security.   The Cardinals have had a very up and down season, and while they have exceeded any expectations that anyone has for them, Tony... 

Cubs at Pirates MLB Free Pick and Preview 8-25-08

The Cubs are doing everything that a pennant winner needs to do.  They are cleaning up on their most recent road trips, going 10-1 in their last 11 road games overall.  The Cubbies have also won 20 of their last 26 games, keeping pace with the Milwaukee Brewers, who have been playing very well as of late, but staying in 2nd place in the NL Central.  Monday the Cubs face the Pittsburgh Pirates who are nearing the end of yet another losing season.  Pittsburgh is just 1-4 in their last 5 home games,... 

Padres at Giants MLB Preview and Free Pick 8-24-08

The Giants and Padres meet Sunday in San Francisco.  It’s a match up between two of the worst teams in baseball this year.  The good news?  Somebody gets to walk away with a win!   The Giants were expected to have a bad season, and they have, but you could make the argument that they have exceeded expectations by staying out of last in the NL West.  They have the San Diego Padres to thank for that.   The Padres came within one win of going to the World Series last year.  Now they are... 

Rays at White Sox - MLB Preview and Free Pick 8-23-08

You won’t find the Rays as underdogs very often; even more, you will almost never find the Rays as underdogs when Scott Kazmir is starting. Kazmir is a great young talent that brings some major stability to the rotation. He puts up some great numbers, this is true, but he’s also the leader of the rotation. Having him healthy and confident makes this Rays team that much better, it is one of the most important components that has gotten them this far. The Rays have won 5 of Kazmir’s... 

Angels at Rays - MLB Free Pick and Preview 8-20-08

What a story the Tama Bay Rays are this year.  Everyone was so busy waiting around for them to collapse to the Red Sox or the Yankees that it doesn’t seem like anyone noticed that they are one of the best stories in recent baseball history.  Tampa finished 2007 at 66-96, thirty games below .500, this year they are leading the AL East, 4.5 games ahead of Boston and nearly thirty games over .500.  They’ve done it with great young players, in particular young pitching that has matured... 

Free MLB Pick and Preview - Yankees at Blue Jays 8-19-08

Tuesday we look at an AL East match up that won’t have any playoff implications, but one that should provide us with a solid winner against the sliding Yankees.   New York isn’t yet statistically out of the playoff race, but it would take more than one miracle for them to earn a post-season spot.  Not to mention, they just aren’t playing very good baseball.  The Yankees have now lost 4 of their last 5 against teams with a winning record.  Injuries and/or poor performance from... 

A’s at Twins - Free MLB Pick and Preview 8-18-08

The Twins are a clear choice on Monday to pick up yet another home win.  Minnesota is currently locked in a first-place tie with the Chicago White Sox for the American League Central pennant.  This should be enough motivation in itself to get them past the A’s, but there’s plenty more to like about this match up.    How about the A’s motivation?  On a scale of 1 to 10 I’d put Oakland’s drive to win this game at a 1.  At 20.5 games out of first in the AL West and... 

MLB Free Pick and Preview - Cardinals vs Reds 8-16-08

We are going to revisit the Cardinals again on Saturday after a nice winner on Friday over the Reds.  The same rules apply.  The Cardinals are trying to run down the Milwaukee Brewers for the NL Wildcard spot, and they are well within striking distance.  The question is really who gets hot at the right time.  The problem for the Cards is that the Brewers have been on a very good run of their own and have been able to keep St. Louis in second place.    Situation-wise this game heavily favors...
