Verlander vs. Sabathia in First Round Pitcher’s Duel

As amazing as the last day of the regular season was it pales in comparison to post-season baseball. There is no other sport in which so much emphasis is put on each and every pitch and at bat. No team has proved that notion more over the last 15 years than the New York Yankees. New York obviously didn’t put too much effort into their final series with Tampa Bay as they sat the majority of their ever day players as well as their starting rotation. For the Yankees, nothing but a World Series win... 

Pittsburgh looks to bounce back against S. Florida

Despite not being recognized as an elite team in the Big East conference, the South Florida Bulls have put together a winning record in 9 of their last 10 seasons. Having teams with far more name recognition like W. Virginia, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Louisville in their conference has cast a huge shadow over the Bulls, but this looks to be the year that USF casts their own shadow. Starting the season 4-0 is always a good thing, but it’s the way that they’ve done it that is making college football... 

Cardinals and Braves Fight for N.L. Wildcard

What a fitting end to the season for the St Louis Cardinals then to have their best pitcher on the mound. Chris Carpenter is one of the reasons why the Cardinals are fighting for the wildcard spot when most MLB experts had them finishing at the top of the N.L. Central prior to the start of the season. It wasn’t too long ago that the Atlanta Braves looked to have a strangle hold on the wildcard position as they were doing their best to keep pace with the Philadelphia Phillies at the top of the N.L.... 

Rays fighting hard for Wildcard Berth

With just 2 games remaining in the regular season the Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox are tied for the lead in the American League wildcard race. Boston wasn’t only predicted to get to the playoffs, but were expected to win the A.L. East by the majority of baseball experts. An absolute meltdown over the last month of the season coupled with the Rays playing their best ball of the year has taken this playoff race right down to the wire. At no point in the season did the Rays look as though they... 

Redskins/ Cowboys in Monday Night NFC East Showdown

Nothing is impossible in the NFL. The Detroit Lions are 3-0 for the first time since 1980, and the Buffalo Bills found a way to knock off a New England team that looked to be virtually unstoppable offensively. The only thing to top off what has already been a mind-blowing 3 weeks of football would be if the Washington Redskins beat the highly touted Dallas Cowboys in this NFC East match-up. Football handicappers had the Skins finishing at the bottom of the division this season, but a win on Monday... 

Patriots take on 2-0 Bills in AFC East Battle

NFL experts still believe that the Buffalo Bills will finish last in the AFC East. Starting the season with 2 wins may be shocking to the average fan, but crushing Kansas City has proven to be the norm and beating an Oakland team with what many football analysts believe to be the worst quarterback in the NFL isn’t anything to get too excited about. It’s obvious that Buffalo is still several years, many draft picks and few top free agents away from being a force in this league. However, as long... 

Mountaineers looking for Upset over LSU

Quarterback Jarrett Lee and the 2nd ranked LSU Tigers will face their toughest test of the season when they go to Morgantown to take on the explosive offense of the West Virginia Mountaineers. The Tigers defense will be the key to their success this season, and is the reason why college football handicappers have listed them as 6 point road favorites for this one. Taking on an Oregon Ducks team that averaged nearly 50 points per game last season was supposed to be a tough test, but the LSU “D”... 

Rays and Red Sox fight for A.L. Wildcard

Who would’ve ever thought that the American League wildcard race would come down to the wire. It wasn’t but a 3 weeks ago that the Boston Red Sox were 31 games over .500 and a full 9 games ahead of the Tampa Bay Rays for the wildcard lead. However, a 5-16 record since August 31st has put Boston in a situation in which they will need to fight until the end to hold off the hard charging Rays from overtaking them for the final playoff position. At no point in this season did MLB handicappers think... 

Thursday Night Football: Wolfpack vs. Bearcats

The Big East meets the ACC in a showdown of 2-1 teams on Thursday when the Cincinnati Bearcats host the North Carolina St Wolfpack in what should be a shootout. NCAA football handicappers have set the total for this game at 60.5, and there’s a good chance that it will exceed that number by a few touchdowns. Both offenses are scoring at a high rate thus far this season, but neither has shown the ability to play consistent defense. Quarterback Zack Collaros is in his 3rd season as starting quarterback,... 

Sabathia seeks 20th Win against Tampa Wednesday

Now that the New York Yankees have a firm grasp of the American League East title they can relax and focus on the post-season. This is exactly what C.C. Sabathia must do in order to secure his 20th win of the year when he takes on a Tampa Bay Rays squad that is battling hard to overtake the Boston Red Sox and gain control of the A.L. wildcard spot. Sabathia has been listed as a heavy favorite by baseball experts to get the win Wednesday night, but he’s blown his 2 previous chances as he may be...
