Las Vegas - How do you handle a future FIRST BALLOT Hall of Famer who has not pitched in OVER a month? Tough question, no easy answer. We're talking about Max Scherzer who will get the start tonight against Christian Javier. Not totally sure about dropping big bucks on Mad Maxx, especially the way Javier has been throwing. Christian has not allowed an earned run in the last two starts (11 innings) and has posted 13 Ks. However, in his only start against the Rangers, in Arlington, Javier was DESTROYED, allowing NINE hits and EIGHT earned runs in just FOUR innings. YUGE OUCH! Too many what ifs so we're thinking about taking a pass.

Now we direct your attention to a VERY ODD line tonight on the college football board. Sam Houston State hosts Florida International, and Sam is a five point favorite. Normally, we would say, so what, but Sammy State has not won a game yet this season, as in OH & SIX! So, how is an 0-6 Bearkat squad favored over a 3-4 FIU team? Maybe because Sammy State is gonna grab its first win. Not thrilled about laying the nickel, but will take old Sam Houston on the money line.

For your wagering pleasure, here is your spread stat of the day. Looking over at the college football board, specifically, the Utep/New Mexico State game. Gotta let you know that the Miners from El Paso are perfect this season. A perfect OH & FIVE against the spread!
