Dodgers Look to Go Up 2-0 in NLDS Against DBacks

Ray Expected to Start Game 2 of NLDS Against Dodgers

The Los Angeles Dodgers host the Arizona Diamondbacks in Game 2 of the NLDS. The game is being televised nationally by TBS. First pitch is set to happen at 9:08 pm EST.

Oddsmakers have the Dodgers as -145-moneyline favorite. The total is at 8.

The Dodgers had the luxury of lining up their rotation for the National League Division Series. The Diamondbacks had to shuffle a bit after playing the wild-card game on Wednesday. They used Zack Greinke and Robbie Ray to dispose of the Colorado Rockies.

Greinke is set to pitch Game 3 on Monday in Arizona. DBacks manager Torey Lovullo said Friday that Ray will start Game 2 on Saturday. His club is down 0-1 in the series after losing to the Dodgers on Friday, 9-5.

Ray threw 34 pitches in 2 1/3 innings Wednesday. He gave up one run and two hits. The two days of rest apparently were enough.

If Ray is feeling as good as he said he is, it's bad news for the Dodgers. He was dominant against Los Angeles during the regular season. Ray went 3-0 with a 2.27 ERA in five starts. He struck out 53 in 31 2/3 innings. In his career, he is 6-3 with a 2.69 ERA in 13 starts against Los Angeles.

Ray is 15-5 with a 2.89 in 28 starts this year.

Dodgers Hill Struggles Against DBacks

The Dodgers will send out left-hander Rich Hill. Manager Dave Roberts is showing confidence in him, despite his struggles against Arizona this season in his career. He is 0-3 with a 5.03 ERA in four starts this season. Hill is 1-5 with a 4.78 ERA in nine career starts against them.

Hill was 12-8 with a 3.32 ERA in 25 starts overall this season. The team will need him to make adjustments and use his unusual delivery to keep the DBacks hitters off balance.

Michigan Hosts Michigan State on ABC

First Night Game in Michigan Rivals Storied History

The Michigan State Spartans and the 7th-ranked Michigan Wolverines will renew their storied Big Ten rivaly on Saturday when they battle at Michigan Stadium. The game will be televised by ABC Sports and kickoff is set for a few minutes after 7:30 pm EST.

For the first time in the 110-year history of the rivalry, the Spartans and Wolverines will battle each other in a night game. It's a time that administrators at each school tried to avoid. In the end, they had no power with television and the Big Ten having control over prime-time slots.

The concerns administrators had are traffic and parking headaches. Also the added time fans now have to tailgate and consume alcohol before the game. The fact there will be a larger congregation outside the stadium of fans who don't have tickets was worrisome as well.

Oddsmakers have made the Wolverines an 11-point favorite. The total is at 40.5.

Michigan Wants to Take Control in the Big Ten East

The Wolverines won its last outing, a 28-10 result against the Purdue Boilermakers on September 23. Michigan covered in that game as a -13.5-point favorite, while the 38 combined points took the game UNDER the total.

The team was off last week and head coach Jim Harbaugh did offer some breaking news on Monday. Senior John O'Korn will be the starting quarterback. Wilton Speight was the original starter. He suffered an undisclosed injury in the first quarter against Purdue. The QB is out for "multiple weeks," according to Harbaugh.

O'Korn went 16 of 28 for 270 yards, a touchdown and an interception in place of Speight against Purdue.

The Wolverines are first in the Big Ten in total yards allowed on defense. They lead with 203.3 yards, They lead in run defense at 69.3 yards a game, and pass defense at 134 yards a game. They have allowed just 13.5 points a game.

Michigan State has Already Matched Last Years Win Total

Michigan State was a 17-10 winner in its last match at home against the Iowa Hawkeyes. They covered the -3.5-point spread as favorites, while the total score of 27 sent UNDER bettors to the payout window.

Michigan Statehas already equaled its win total from a disastrous 3-9 season in 2016.

The Spartan offense is led by quarterback Brian Lewerke. He has been very efficient in the passing game. Lewerke is 84 of 133 for 963 yards. He has eight touchdowns and two interceptions. He also has running ability. That makes him difficult to defend. He leads the team with 248 yards rushing. Running back LJ Scott is getting the bulk of the carries out of the backfield. He is averaging only 3.7 yards on 58 carries.

The Spartans enter the game third in the Big Ten in yards allowed per game. They are only giving up 248.3 ypg. Their  run defense is only allowing 96 yards a game. The D is second in pass defense giving up 152.3 yards a game.

Big 12 Showdown in Forth Worth: TCU Hosts West Virginia

Two of Top Offenses in Nation Square-Off in Big 12 Matchup

The fans at Amon Carter Stadium will see the 23rd-ranked West Virginia Mountaineers and the 8th-ranked TCU Horned Frogs when they take their seats on Saturday.

Oddsmakers have the Horned Frogs as 12-point favorites. The total is sitting nicely at 67.5 total points. It opened at 73.

TCU and West Virginia were picked to finish in the middle of the pack in the Big 12. Both teams have shown balanced offenses in the usually pass-happy league.

The Horned Frogs and Mountaineers have the top two rushing offenses in the Big 12. They are only separated by just over a yard per game. TCU averages 232.3 yards and West Virginia is getting 231. They rank 25th and 26th in the country.

West Virginia is averaging 594.8 yards per game, and is second in the nation in total offense. TCU averages 497.0 yards per game and is 17th.

TCU is no longer Surprise of the Big 12

In their last action, TCU was a 44-31 winner on the road against Oklahoma State Cowboys. They covered the +9.5-point spread as underdogs, while the combined score (75) was profitable news for OVER bettors.

TCU is second in the conference in total defense. They are the best in the Big 12 at defending against the run. The Mountaineers are one of just two teams in the conference that are allowing fewer than 100 yards per game on the ground.

TCU's offense will be triggered by quarterback Kenny Hill. He has the sixth-best completion percentage in the nation. He trails only Oklahoma's Baker Mayfield in the Big 12.

Hill is one of two starters in the conference who has yet to pass for more than 1,000 yards. With the league's top rushing offense he doens't have to throw a lot. He has been able to play smarter football that has led the team to its perfect start.

West Virginia Looks to Keep Offense in High Gear Against Tough Defense

West Virginia was a 56-34 winner in their most recent outing on the road against Kansas Jayhawks. They failed to cover the -24.5-point spread as favorites, while the total score (90) made winners of OVER bettors.

Quarterback Will Grier, a transfer from Florida, leads the Mountaineers' prolific attack. He has found the mark on 94 of 144 passes through four games. That has amounted for 1,374 yards and 13 touchdowns. He has thrown just three interceptions.

Running back Justin Crawford has the chance to get meaningful yards on every snap. It helps to control the game for West Virginia. Crawford has racked up 451 yards and six touchdowns on just 61 carries. He has gained at least 100 yards in each game this season.

The series between the Horned Frogs and Mountaineers is tied 3-3. All but one meeting has been in the Big 12. TCU leads the series 3-2. West Virginia won last year's contest 34-10 in Morgantown. It was TCU's most lopsided loss as a member of the Big 12.

MLS Soccer: Red Bulls-Whitecaps in Potential Playoff Preview

MLS Soccer Playoffs are Around the Corner

The Vancouver Whitecaps have a record of 15 wins, 10 losses, and 6 ties. They sit atop  the Western Conference. They’re sizeable underdogs for Saturday’s match against the No. 6 team in the East. The New York Red Bulls have a record of 12 wins, 12 losses, and 7 ties. The opening touch at Red Bull Arena is scheduled for 5 PM ET. New York is –165 favorites at press time.  Vancouver at +475 and the draw pegged at +285.

Vancouver has already qualified for the MLS playoffs. wThey begin October 25. They’re still fighting for a spot in the Conference Semi-Finals. The Red Bulls have a plus-14 goal differential. But they are skidding toward the postseason with four losses and five draws in their last nine matches. The Whitecaps are plus-5 in goal differential, and have six wins, a loss and two draws over the same span.

Saturday will be the first and only time these two clubs play during the regular season – although they could very well end up meeting in the playoffs. When they played earlier this year in the CONCACAF Champions League, Vancouver easily won the two-match series 3-1 on aggregate and advanced to the semi-finals, where they were eliminated by Tigres UANL of the Mexican leagues.

NLDS Game 1: NL West Rivals Dodgers & DBacks Ready

NLDS Will be Run If Like Regular Season

The fans at Dodger Stadium will see the first game of the NLDS between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Los Angeles Dodgers. First pitch is set for 10:31 pm EST. The game will be televised by TBS.

The Dodgers had the best record in MLB season. That didn't matter to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Arizona took 11 of 19 game from Los Angeles during the regular season. The DBacks are hoping the same success transfers to the post-season. The Playoffs are a different animal.

Oddsmakers opened the Dodgers as -250-moneyline favorites versus the Diamondbacks, while the game's total opened at 7.5. The Dodgers are now -270-moneyline favorites. The total is now at 7.

DBacks Hope Dodgers are Rusty in NLDS After Layoff

The Diamondbacks will give the ball to starter Taijuan Walker in this one. Right hander Walker is 9-9 this season with a 3.49 ERA.

The Dodgers haven't played since the regular-season finale Sunday. The Diamondbacks had to fight their way to an an 11-8 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday.

The NL Wild-Card game caused the DBacks to use staff Ace Zack Grienke and Bobby Ray.

Walker was 2-0 with a 3.24 ERA in three starts against Los Angeles this season. He is 2-1, 4.79 in four career outings vs. the Dodgers.

Torey Lovullo still had not decided on his starting lineup. One question would be third base. Jake Lamb played there in the wild-card game. He had four hits. The issue is that he is a left-handed hitter. That makes it a challenge to face the lefty Kershaw.

Dodgers Turn to Ace Kershaw in NLDS

It'll be Clayton Kershaw toeing the rubber for the Dodgers in this contest. Left hander Kershaw is 18-4 with a 2.31 ERA so far this season.

Kershaw has had success against Arizona this year, and throughout his career. He went 2-0 with a 0.59 ERA in two starts vs. the Diamondbacks this season. He is 14-8, 2.55 in 26 career starts against Arizona.

Kershaw has experienced his troubles in the postseason. He has posted a career mark of 4-7 with a 4.55 ERA in 18 games. 14 of those have been starts.
