Both schools have been trending towards the Under early on, a both Tulsa and Temple have played 2 of their first 3 games Under the total, but both have shown they are capable of putting the ball into the end-zone, as the Golden Hurricane are averaging just over 26 points per game, while the Owls have posted right at 27 points per game in their first 3 games.
Temple has seen their last 4 AAC games ALL topple the total, including last year's 43-22 Owls win in a game Tulsa turned it over 3 times. That marked the second series Over in as many meetings, as 2014's meeting saw 59 combined points between the AAC schools.
Last Thursday night we saw Boston College and Wake Forest go back-and-forth, and up-and-down in a 41-31 finale. I'm not saying that Tulsa and Temple have the firepower those 2 teams have, but I do think this stand-alone contest will be an entertaining affair.
I am playing this AAC battle over the total.

MLB | LAA vs OAK
Play on: OVER 9 +105
1* Free Pick on Angels/A's OVER 9
The A's and Angles should have no problem going OVER the total in Thursday's series finale. The OVER is 4-0 in Oakland's last 4 games and has cashed in 10 of the A's last 11 home games. OVER is also 27-11-2 in the A's last 40 games against division opponents, including 7 straight OVERs between these two teams when they meet up at the Coliseum.
Oakland has done most of the heavy lifting, as they come in averaging 5.9 runs/game over their last 7. They have torched LA's pitching for 17 runs on 17 hits in the first two games of the series and I look for them to put another big number on the board against Angels starter Matt Shoemaker.
OVER has cashed in 6 of Shoemakers last 8 starts, is 4-1 in his last 5 starts on the road and 6-0-1 in his last 7 when he takes the mound in Game 3 of a series. OVER is also a perfect 4-0 in Shoemakers last 4 starts against the A's. Take the OVER!

MLB | Red Sox vs Yankees
Play on: Red Sox +152 at 5Dimes
10* FREE MLB PICK (Red Sox +152)
I'll take my chances here with Boston avoiding the sweep and locking up their third straight division title. Not to mention the price here is exceptional for a team that has already eclipsed the 100-win mark. The offense has struggled of late for the Red Sox, but Yankees starter Masahiro Tanaka has a mere 4.08 ERA in 17 career starts against Boston. He's faced them 3 times this season and in those 3 starts, he's allowed 11 runs on 21 hits (5 HRs) and 5 walks in just 15 innings of work. Boston counters with Eduardo Rodriguez, who has quietly been one of the better starters in the AL. Over his last 16 starts Rodriguez has a sensational 2.89 ERA and I look for hime to keep this high-powered Yankees offense in check. Give me the Red Sox +152!

MLB | Royals vs Tigers
Play on: Tigers -145 at sportsbook
The Royals opened their roadtrip by getting swept against the Pirates as all three games were decided by just one run including identical 2-1 losses the last two games. The dreadful season is almost over for Kansas City which has the second worst record in baseball at 52-100 including a 22-53 record on the road. This includes a 12-37 record in road games after scoring one run or less. The Tigers were also swept in their most recent series as the Twins took all three games to open the week which extended their home losing streak to seven games. This includes an 8-2 loss yesterday and Detroit has won 12 of 20 games this season after a loss by six or more runs. One of the pleasant parts of the rotation has been Matthew Boyd as he has quietly been pitching outstanding. He has a 4.08 ERA which seems average but it comes with a 1.09 WHIP which is tied for sixth best in the American League. He has been even better at home as he has a 2.44 ERA and 0.92 WHIP in 13 starts and the Tigers are a perfect 8-0 in his eight home games when working on five or six days of rest. Meanwhile, the Royals are 0-6 in their last six road games against left-handed starters. Kansas City counters with Jorge Lopez who had a near perfect game through eight innings against Minnesota two starts back but regressed after that against the same Twins team. He actually got hurt in that last outing as he has to leave with a rib injury so he might be 100 percent healthy on top of it. Here, we play against underdogs after two straight losses by two runs or less going up against an opponent after a loss by six runs or more. This situation is 55-18 (75.3 percent) since 1997.

Play on: White Sox +177 at YouWager
Dave’s Wednesday Bonus Play:
1* on Chicago White Sox +177
The Key: I like the big underdog price we are getting with the Chicago White Sox today. They led 1-0 in the 9th inning last night before giving up a grand slam and lost as +275 dogs. Well, Cleveland has nothing to play for right now as they’ve already wrapped up the division. They can’t be this heavily favored moving forward with their lack of motivation. Josh Tomlin certainly doesn’t deserve to be getting this much respect from oddsmakers. Tomlin is 0-3 with a 7.68 ERA and 1.59 WHIP in 7 starts this year. James Shield sports a 4.50 ERA and 1.28 WHIP in 31 starts this season. He is 5-8 with a. 3.79 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in 22 lifetime starts against the Indians, including 1-1 with a 1.93 ERA in 2 starts against the Indians in 2018, yielding 3 earned runs in 14 innings. Take Chicago.

MLB | Phillies vs Braves
Play on: Phillies +137 at BetPhoenix
Jack’s Free Pick Thursday: Philadelphia Phillies +137
This series against Atlanta is Philadelphia’s final stand. The Phillies are 5.5 games back of the Braves in the NL East and really need to sweep this series. It starts with Game 1 tonight, and I like the value we are getting with them are road underdogs here.
Vince Velasquez has actually been at his best on the road this season. He has posted a 3.64 ERA and 1.298 WHIP in his 14 road starts this year. Velasquz gave up just one earned run in his last start against the Braves this season.
Kevin Gausman has been a mediocre starter this year in his time with the Orioles and Braves. He is 10-10 with a 3.92 ERA and 1.300 WHIP in 29 starts, including 1-1 with a 6.10 ERA in his last two starts. Gausman is 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA in one career start against the Phillies. That came back on July 12th as he allowed 5 earned runs and 13 base runners in 5 innings of a 5-4 loss.
The Braves have had zero home-field advantage here down the stretch. They are just 5-14 in their last 19 home games. Atlanta is 3-12 in its last 15 home games vs. a team with a winning record. Bet the Phillies Thursday.
