10/8 MLB Playoffs and NCAAF

Had a rough day to start the playoffs, but looking to redeem myself today with some nice action. Will also be betting on the football game tonight with an easy underdog winner.

Colorado Rockies @ Philladelphia Phillies- Im not giving up on this Rockies team, and even though they looked awful yesterday they should redeem themselves today. At first glance you would not think that the pitching match up favors the away team, but it does. Aarron Cook is 11-6 with a 4.16 ERA on the year while Hamels is 10-11 with a 4.32. The diffrenece is actually even bigger when looking at the last three starts where Cook has a 2.81 ERA to an over 7 ERA for Cole Hamels. The Rockies should be able to get the bats rolling a little bit today. They also faced Hamels in the beginning of the season, and roughed him up pretty good. My gut also tells me the Rockies wont go down without a fight after this hard fought season. This is also partially a value play though as i will be getting great money on this pick. Rockies +145

Boston Red Sox @ LA Angels- This pitching matchup does favor the Red Sox in many ways including how great Lester has been during the last month, but dont sell Lackey short. He has pitched 5 straight quality starts against these Red Sox, and has been the ace of this staff for a while. This will be his fifth year in the playoffs, and he has been up and down during that playoff career, but look for him to break out this season. The Angels come into this season on fire winning 7 of their last 8 games while the Red Sox limped in losing 6 of their last 10 games. The Angels have won 4 of 6 vs the Red Sox in LA this year, and they are out for some revenge. They will not let the Red Sox just kick them out of the playoffs. This will be a hard fought, fun to watch series with the Angels coming out on top. Angels -105


#22 Nebraska @ #18 Missouri (+3.5)- Now you may be wondering why i included rankings in my header because i never do that. Well he's why, Why is the team who is ranked higher, in the same conference, who is playing at home a 3.5 point underdog? I was very suprised when i saw this considering how great Missouri has looked despite not having Chase Daniel. These two teams played last year in Nebraska, and Missouri still won by a score of 52-17. I know Missouri hasnt exactly had the toughest schedule, but they have beat a couple quality teams. Also as bad as Missouri's wins are, they are better than what Nebraska has done. There "best" game is a loss to VT. Blaine Gabbert has been perfect this year with no interceptions, and looks to continue that streak. Take the home dog in this one. Missouri (+3.5)
