      Take The Oakland A's Over Seattle @ 6:35 EDT

      April 2, 2007 /

      The Seattle Mariners finished last in the AL West mainly due to their poor play against the A's who took 17 of 18 against them in '06. It's a new season and the A' have lost two key players who helped take them to the playoffs last year. Frank Thomas and Barry Zito have both departed but the addition of Mike Piazza to the lineup should help them offensively. Today Oakland sends Dan Haren to the mound who was 5-0 with a 2.95 ERA in his last six starts against Seattle. The Mariners start Felix Hernandez who failed to last past the fifth inning in either of his starts against Oakland last season, going 0-2 with a 6.00 ERA.

      Chargers to deal Turner soon?

      April 1, 2007 /

      The Green Bay Packers have been linked to several rumors this offseason, none bigger than one involving Raiders’ wide receiver Randy Moss. The latest rumor has the Packers acquiring Chargers’ running back Michael Turner for a first round pick. According to the Trenton Times, the Packers would send their first round pick (16th overall) to the Chargers for Turner and their first rounder (30th overall).

      The Packers need to do something because unless a productive back is released after the draft (which could happen), their backfield is looking ultra light. Vernand Morency is the current starter, but GB is going to need a more proven back before the ’07 season kicks off. In my opinion, a Morency-Turner combo would be more explosive than a Morency-(Corey) Dillon or Morency-(Chris) Brown (two backs still on the free agent market) backfield. Turner doesn’t have a ton of ware on his tires and would benefit from sharing the load with Morency. Then Green Bay could spend the 30th overall pick on other needs (WR, S, LB).

      As for San Diego – much like Atlanta’s situation with Matt Schaub – it’s time to see how much Turner is worth. He’s a free agent after this season, so unless the Chargers want to franchise him (unlikely with LT in their backfield) they would be wise to get max value now. That way they could look for another backup for Tomlinson in the draft.

      Update: According to the NFL Network, Turner will meet with the Tennessee Titans on Monday.

      April 1, 2007 /

      The St. Louis Cardinals will try to defend their World Series title by taking on the New York Mets tonight at 8:15pm ET on ESPN2. Do the Cards have enough to repeat? Will the Mets put it all together and give St. Louis a run for its money? Will the injury to Kenny Rogers hurt the Tigers chances for a AL title repeat?

      Final Four Preview

      March 30, 2007 /

      After a slow start, this year’s tournament has really picked up. Looking back, the scores of the Elite Eight games were a little misleading. Memphis gave the Buckeyes a pretty good run, while that UCLA/Kansas game was nip and tuck until the Jayhawks’ wheels came off at the very end. (Remind me to never pick a Bill Self-led team to go to the Final Four again.) The Oregon/Florida game was closer than the score would indicate and G’town’s comeback against a talented (yet directionless) North Carolina squad provided some of the best moments of the tournament.

      So, now we’ve got our Final Four, and we couldn’t have two better matchups. In the early game, we have the battle of two seven-footers — one’s a freshman phenom who has been destined for stardom since he was just a pup, while the other is a battle-tested junior who has worked on his game, developing into a future lottery pick. In the late game, we’ve got a rematch of last year’s title bout and, save for Jordan Farmar, all the stars from both teams stayed in school to play for this very opportunity.

      This is a Final Four with some serious star power…

      Take The Houston Rockets -2 Over LA @ 10:35 EDT

      March 30, 2007 /

      In March, the Los Angeles Lakers are 5-0 when Kobe Bryant scores more than 40 points, and 0-8 when he doesn't. To beat the Lakers you simply have to keep Kobe in check. Houston is one of the best defensive teams in the NBA. They rank first in the NBA in field goal percentage defense (42.6 percent) and second in scoring defense (91.0 ppg). LA is coming off a 88-86 loss to Memphis in a game where they shot 34.4% from the field. Kobe finished with 23 points on 7-of-26 shooting. The only time this season the Lakers shot a poorer percentage than they did on Tuesday was their last meeting with Houston. The Rockets are now at full strength with Yao Ming back and have won 10 of their last 13. Houston's defense will keep Kobe under 40 and that's all it takes to beat LA. Houston, a two point favorite, should cover.
