Chiefs will claw out low-scoring win over Raiders

No, it’s not Pacquiao Cotto betting odds, but the Chiefs and Raiders are division rivals. Neither will be competing for an AFC West title this season, but pride is on the line when they meet Sunday.

NFL odds: Raiders -1.5

The Raiders (2-6), coming off the bye, have lost two straight since their surprising upset win over the Eagles. They hung in surprisingly well with the Chargers last week, eventually succumbing 24-16. Any game won by Oakland—or remains close, for that matter—is a credit to the defense. The Silver and Black allowed just 19 total points in their two victories this season. The “D” isn’t going to wow you but, on any given Sunday… you know the rest.

Unless you’re talking about Oakland’s offense, that is. Sunday, Monday, it doesn’t matter what day of the week it is—this team can’t score. It’s been beyond pathetic. The Raiders’ highest output this season is 20 points; they’ve been held below double digits  in half their games; and have failed to score a touchdown three times. JaMarcus Russell (48.3 passer rating) makes an easy target, but just about everyone here is lousy.

Kansas City’s offense is, statistically speaking, leaps and bounds better than Oakland’s. That’s not exactly impressive, though, as the Chiefs are managing just 15.8 points per game. Former New England quarterback Matt Cassel—whom the team awarded a big contract in the offseason—is quickly sliding from “unproven” to “unskilled.” The Patriot Way, it seems, is not translating in K.C.

The Chiefs are ranked 30th in pass defense, largely because of a lame pass rush that’s managed a paltry 10 sacks this year. At least Russell isn’t a major threat to burn them. The run defense isn’t exactly pulling its weight either at 136 yards per game. Frankly, there’s not much on this side of the ball to get offshore sportsbook bettors excited.

Oakland emerged victorious in the Week 2 matchup between these squads. The score was 13-10, mostly of product of offensive ineptitude vs. defensive proficiency. It should be more of the same this time around but Kansas City has the edge offensively. Running back Larry Johnson was cut this week but, if he were contributing anything positive, he wouldn’t have been cut. Bet on the Chiefs to score a sloppy, low-scoring victory over the Raiders on your NFL predictions.

MLB  |  May 17
Milwaukee Brewers vs. Houston Astros		 Milwaukee Brewers
-141  at  5DIMES		 > 10h.
With a day off on Wednesday in MLB we look to get back on a hot streak as we are still up big on the season. Thursday we have a total of nine pitchers with ERA's under 3.00 over their last three starts combined and a total of five pitchers with ERA's over 6.00 over their last three combined starts. There was one match up that stuck out and we marked them down as our POD.

Mark the Brewers Down! ( -140 2.5* FREE PLAY )
For whatever reason Shaun Marcum has loved to pitch on the road as he has an ERA of 3.20 over the last three years on the road. That's much better than his home record and he's back at it again with a 2.77 ERA this year. He's been great of late posting a 1.80 ERA, but the Brewers lost 2 of 3. He should be motivated to keep that up so he can get a W and the Astros are the team to do it against. He's got a 1.80 ERA over 3 starts vs. the Astros who carry just a .637 OPS in 73 AB vs. Marcum. A few weeks ago I'd be on the Astros, but they are starting to come back to earth as they are now 24th with a .686 OPS vs. RHP while the Brewers are 8th with a .737 OPS vs. LHP.

The Brewers are 8th and they face J.A. Happ who they have dominated. Happ and the Astros are 10-30 in their last 40 with Happ on the mound. He's really not the player they thought he'd be when they traded Roy Oswalt for him. Happ has a 5.40 ERA at home right now and the Brewers have a 1.139 OPS over 80 AB in their careers vs. Happ who carries a 6.08 ERA over the last three years vs. the Brewers. Brewers are 18-7 in their last 25 after Wednesday's loss to the Astros and are 47-17 in their last 64 vs. a losing team. Mark down the Brewers as a victory for Thursday.

Notable Hot Starters:
R.A. Dickey (2-1, 1.15 WHIP, 2.70 ERA)
Matt Cain (2-1, 0.90 WHIP, 2.14 ERA)
James McDonals (2-1, 1.05 WHIP, 2.05 ERA)
Brandon Beachy (2-1, 0.93 WHIP, 2.33 ERA)
Edinson Volquez (3-0, 1.20 WHIP, 1.47 ERA)
Doug Fister (1-2, 0.90 WHIP, 0.54 ERA)
Brandon McCarthy (3-0, 0.97 WHIP, 1.31 EAR)
Chris Sale (1-2, 1.00 WHIP, 2.84 ERA)

Cold Starter Of The Day:
On Thursday we have an ice cold starter that makes for an interesting match up in Luke Hochevar of the Royals. First of the Royals have been red hot since their cold start and Hochevar needs to get with the program. Against the Orioles he could do just that as he has great numbers vs. them in 96 combined at bats the Orioles have a .198 average and .590 OPS.

Notable Cold Starters:
J.A. Happ (1-2, 1.59 WHIP, 7.16 ERA)
Matt Moore (1-2, 1.86 WHIP, 6.43 ERA)
Matt Harrison (1-2, 1.41 WHIP, 8.27 ERA)
Chris Volstad (0-3, 1.71 WHIP, 7.94 ERA)
