The Dodgers will have Yu Darvish (1-0, 1,80 ERA) on the hill and last time he was on the mound, he clinched a sweep for the Dodgers in the NLDS on the road in Arizona. Darvish allowed a run on two hits over five innings of work, striking out seven with no walks. Since Darvish spent most of his career in Texas, he has never faced the Cubs before. He was 6-4 in 15 road starts this season with a 2.44 ERA.

The Cubs counter with Kyle Hendricks (1-0, 3.27 ERA), who took a no-decision in Game 5’s 9-8 win in Washington in the NLDS. Over four innings, Hendricks gave up four runs on nine hits, and struck out seven with a pair of walks. Hendricks also gave up two homers to Washington; he’s 2-1 in three career starts against the Dodgers, with an ERA of 3.15.

NLCS Game 2: Cubs Look to Avoid 0-2 Hole in LA

Rich Hill Ready for Cubs in 2017 NLCS

The 2017 NLCS Game 2 has the Chicago Cubs and the Los Angeles Dodgers meeting at Chavez Ravine. The first pitch is set for 8:08 pm EST. TBS will televise the game.

Rich Hill was ready to start a winner-take-all game in the 2016 NLCS. The Chicago Cubs upended Clayton Kershaw in Game 6. The Cubs advanced to the World Series and they ended a 108-year championship drought.

While Sunday's outing won't send the Dodgers to the World Series, it would give the Dodgers a decisive 2-0 lead. With the series shifting to Chicago on Tuesday, this could be major, especially if the Dodgers can steal one in Chicago.

Oddsmakers have the Dodgers as a -155-moneyline favorite. The total is at 7.5.

Cubs Turn to Lester in Game 2 on NLCS

Cubs starter Jon Lester will be ready. He will not be the least bit intimidated. Lester gets the call knowing he was on the mound for two of the four victories in last year's NLCS.

Lester was only named the Game 2 starter Saturday morning. He threw 51 pitches in Game 4 of the NLDS on Wednesday. Lester will come into the outing on just three days' rest. He also pitched in Game 2 of the NLDS. That was a game the Cubs lost to the Nationals.

Trailing by one game in the NLCS to the Dodgers is not new for the Cubs. They were down 2-1 in last year's NLCS. They reeled off three consecutive victories, including the clincher against Kershaw.

Hill No Stranger to the NLCS

Hill was the pitcher who put the Dodgers on top in last year's NLCS. He cruised with six shutout innings in Game 3. The Dodgers had handcuffed the Cubs' offense to that point. Hill doesn't like to make comparisons year to year. It is almost impossible to avoid looking back to last year's playoff outing.

Hill will be a mystery to most Cubs hitters. Most of them haven't faced him yet. The Cubs could do some damage because they finished eighth in the league with a .777 OPS against left-handers.

In his start against the Diamondbacks in the NLDS, Hill didn’t have his best command. He struggled through 78 pitches in just four innings. Hill  allowed two runs off three hits and three walks. It marked his second-lowest rate of strikes in a start this season.

NFL Week 6 Pick- Pittsburgh Steelers at Kansas City Chiefs

In

Kansas City Chiefs Look to Avenge Last Loss

This Sunday afternoon’s late NFL games feature a huge showdown in the AFC between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Kansas City Chiefs. The game is a 4:25 p.m. (ET) start on CBS.  Arrowhead Stadium is one of the legendary, and hardest, places to play in the NFL.

BetAnySports has listed the Chiefs as three-point home favorites with the total set at 49. The line is now Kansas City as 3.5-point favorites and the total has bottomed out at 45.5.

Steelers Looking to Find Rhythm

The Steelers are a team that is hard to figure out. A shocking 23-17 loss to Chicago in Week 3,  as a 6.5-point road favorite, made many wonder. Then with Sunday’s head-scratching 30-9 home loss to Jacksonville as a 7.5-point favorite has sports bettors a bit confused.

In What direction is Pittsburgh is headed? This is a major question coming into a showdown against the top team in the NFL. The Steelers are now 3-2 straight-up this season. The team has a 2-3 record against the spread. The total has stayed UNDER BetAnySports’ closing line in all five games the team has played this season.

Steeler quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger, was picked off five times against the Jaguars last week. The future Hall of Fame QB had zero touchdowns through the air as well. Antonio Brown had with 10 receptions for 157 yards as one of the bright spots.  Running back, Le’Veon Bell was held to just 47 yards rushing on 15 carries.

The Steelers’ defense was gouged for 231 yards on the ground against the Jaguars. That did include 181 by vaunted rookie running back Leonard Fournette. The Steelers are now ranked 20^th in the league in scoring defense at 19.8 points. They are 28^th against the run.

Kansas City Chiefs are Clicking on all Cylinders

It is hard to find any holes in Kansas City’s run to a perfect 5-0 start. They are undefeated straight up and against the spread. The Chiefs outlasted Houston 42-34 on Sunday night. They were a slight two-point road favorites. The total at BetAnySports  closed at 45-points and it easily went OVER.

The total has gone OVER in four of their first five outings. Kansas City’s current winning streak at home stands at five games both SU and ATS.

There are no issues at quarterback for the Chiefs’ offense right now. Alex Smith is playing at a very high level in his 13^th NFL season. He has completed 76.6 percent of his first 158 passing attempts. Smith has 1,391 yards and 11 touchdowns. Even more impressive is the fact that he has yet to throw an interception.

Rookie running back Kareem Hunt has led the ground game with 609 yards rushing. He has four scores on 97 carries. Overall Kansas City is the second-best rushing team in the NFL with an average of 156.2 yards per game.

I have very little confidence in Pittsburgh’s ability to turn things around this Sunday to cover the three points on the road. This means that I am going to keep riding the hot hand until it cools with a bet at BetAnySports that the Chiefs win again both SU and ATS.

NFL Week 6: Saints Host Lions in the Big Easy

Saints and Lions Trying to Find Groove

The Detroit Lions and the New Orleans Saints meet on Sunday  at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Kickoff is set for 1 pm EST. FOX Sports will have the kickoff and the game is broadcast regionally.

Oddsmakers opened the Saints as -3-point favorites versus the Lions, while the game's total opened at 51. The line now shows the Saints as a 5-point favorite. The total is down to 50.5.

The Saints are fresh from a week off. They are also coming off of consecutive wins over Carolina and Miami. A win today will put the Saints above .500 for the first time since the end of the 2013 season.

The Detroit Lions have lost twice in the last three weeks to Atlanta and Carolina by a combined seven points.

Saints Look for Consistency

Last time out for New Orleans, they were a 20-0 winner as they battled the Miami Dolphins on the road. The Saints covered in the match as a -3.5-point favorite, while 20 combined points moved the game UNDER for totals bettors.

The Saints will be looking for their first three-game winning streak since October 2015. They recovered from a 1-4 start to reach 4-4.

Since 2014 the Saints are only 11-14 at the Superdome. This year they have a younger and more talented defense. Early on there are signs the team is beginning to improve defensively.

New Orleans is one of only three teams in NFL history not to have committed a turnover in the first four games of a season. That streak could be in jeopardy.  The Lions lead the NFC, and are tied for second in the NFL with a plus-8 takeaway margin.

Lions are Battling Injuries

The Lions were a 27-24 loser in their most recent outing at home against the Carolina Panthers. They failed to cover the -2-point spread as favorites, while the total score (51) made winners of OVER bettors.

In the loss last week to the Panthers, the Lions lost their best defensive lineman. Haloti Ngata is possibly out for the season with a first-half elbow injury. Quarterback Matthew Stafford was limping badly in the fourth quarter with ankle and hamstring injuries. He soldiered through and almost sparked another late comeback.

Stafford's lack of mobility, coupled with Detroit's porous offensive line play, have led to 12 sacks in the last two games. Stafford is averaging only 6.45 yards per attempt. That is a full yard fewer than Brees.

The Lions have defeated the Saints in each of the last three seasons. In order they are: 24-23 in 2014 in Detroit, and 35-27 in 2015 and 28-13 and 2016 in the Superdome.
