Karl Garrett 20 DIMER - RUTGERS....10 DIMER - ANGELS-YANKEES OVER (Lackey vs. Sabathia) 20 DIMER - RUTGERS SCARLET KNIGHTS
After getting humiliated by Cincinnati at home on the first week of the season, Rutgers has rebounded to win their last 4, although 2 have come against the likes of Howard, and Texas Southern.
Still, I give the Knights a great chance at springing the upset here, as they are at home, and they have also won the last 4 against Pittsburgh, while going 3-1 against the spread along the way.
Pittsburgh has played some tough games of late, as 3 weeks ago they blew a big lead at NC State in a loss, they rebounded the next week with a road win at Louisville, and then this past week they needed a last second field goal to nip Connecticut. You have a feeling the Panthers could be a little beat-up when they hit the field tonight.
Rutgers has covered their last 4 as a home underdog, and are 10-2 their last dozen when getting points.
The points work again for the Scarlet Knights.
10 DIMER - LA ANGELS-NY YANKEES OVER (Lackey vs. Sabathia)
The chances they play this game may not be too good based upon the weather report, but if they do, I like the OVER.
Both teams have played some UNDERS this postseason, as the Angels were UNDER in 2 of 3 versus Boston, while the Yankees played ALL 3 UNDER versus Minnesota, but these teams did play 3 of the 4 regular season meetings against each other in New York OVER the total.
They also ended the regular season 6-3-1 OVER in their 10 meetings this year.
Both Lackey, and Sabathia have had their struggles against the others team, and this total is not so big that a big frame by either team can't squeeze us OVER.
Mark the G-Man down for an OVER in Game 1 of the ALCS.
