Chicago has lost 3 of their last 4 games while the Twins have now won 3 straight. The White Sox are 7-22 in their last 29 games played on turf. In their last 25 road games vs. a team with a winning record the White Sox are 6-19. Chicago's Gavin Floyd has been very good this season but he faces a Twins team the Sox always struggle against. Minnesota is 22-6 in their last 28 home games vs. a team with a winning record. They are 36-16 in their last 52 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Twins have won 7 of Slowey's lsat 8 home starts. The Twins have won 5 of the last 6 meetings overall and the White Sox are 1-8 in their last 9 trips to Minnesota. Play on the Twins -.

BEN BURNS
THURSDAY GAME OF THE MONTH
I'm taking the points with OREGON STATE. As usual, USC has another excellent team. That being said, asking them to win a nationally televised conference road game by more than three touchdowns is asking an awful lot. In fact, this is the first time since 2006 that the Trojans have been asked to lay more than three touchdowns on the road and only the third time in their last 20 road games overall. Yes, the Trojans have looked good thus far. They went on the road and pounded a rebuilding Virginia team and then came home and did the same thing to a strong Ohio State squad. That big victory should have the Trojans patting themselves on the back a bit, as they read all the press-clippings about how great they are. Off that big win and with a "revenge" game vs. Oregon on deck, I feel that this will be a difficult scheduling spot. This is Week 5 of the schedule and if we look back at the last couple of years, we find that the Trojans have really struggled at this time. Last season, they got off to a great start, winning their first three games by double-digits. They won those games by 28, 18 and 33 points. They were ranked #1 when they visited Washington in Week 5. That was their conference road opener and they were laying nearly three touchdowns. Sound familiar? Yet, while everyone was expecting another blowout, the Trojans struggled and won by only three points. The Trojans also failed to cover in their conference road opener in 2006. Additionally, they failed to cover in Week 5 that year. Overall, the Trojans are a money-burning 1-8 ATS in Week 5 through Week 9 the past two years. Note that Riley's Beavers were 6-3 ATS during the same stretch. It's true that USC has had the benefit of a bye week to prepare. However, the same can also be said for Oregon State. While he hasn't had the talent to work with that Pete Carroll has had at USC, Mike Riley is also an excellent coach. Note that Riley's Beavers were 3-0 SU/ATS when coming off a bye week the last two seasons. Looking back further and we find Oregon State at an outstanding 16-7-1 ATS it's last 24 games when coming off a bye. The Beavers come in with a 1-2 record. They lost a winnable game on Opening Night, falling by eight points at Stanford. That result has given us some added value as a lot of the betting public lost with the Beavers in that game (or at least watched them) and are now unwilling to back them and/or believe that they are a really bad team. However, as already mentioned, winning a nationally televised conference road game is no easy task. Additionally, strange things can happen in Week 1 - just ask last year's Michigan team. My point is that I'm willing to forgive the Beavers for the Week 1 loss. I'm also willing to look past the Week 2 loss. That's because that game also came on the road and was against a very strong Penn State team. Their lone home game, which came prior to the bye, saw the Beavers put it all together as they crushed Hawaii, 45-7. The Beavers have been great at home in recent years and they upset USC (Trojans were ranked #1 at the time) the last time these teams played here. The Trojans will get their points but I look for the Beavers to also score, keeping this game much closer than expected and hanging within the inflated number. *Thursday Night GOM

I'm taking the points with SMU. I won with Tulane a couple of weeks ago when the Green Wave were hosting East Carolina. I felt that the line on the Pirates was too high and that the teams were more evenly matched than was reflected in the line. I feel the same way about this evening's game, only this time I believe that it's Tulane which has become over-valued. That has happened due to the Green Wave coming off their first victory (vs. UL-Monroe) and having gone 3-0 ATS. Give them credit for being competitive. However, a closer look shows that the lone victory came by 14 points and the Green Wave lost the other two games. Granted, those games both came against really good teams. Still, my point is that they haven't won a game by more than two touchdowns yet and I feel that this spread is too high. Keep in mind that Tulane is only averaging 18 points per game and has yet to even score more than 24 in a single game. It's also worth noting that Tulane was a money-burning 5-11-1 ATS (5-12 SU) in Conference play the past two seasons. The other reason for the high number is that the Mustangs have been blown out in each of their past two games. However, let's also keep in mind that both those games came against a pair of very powerful teams (TCU and Texas Tech) which are both currently ranked in the Top 25 and which have a combined record of 8-0. In other words, Tulane represents a significant step down in class from either of those Texas based power-houses. I believe that these teams are far more evenly matched than the pointspread indicates. Looking back to last year and we find that it was SMU which was a -6.5 point home favorite. Tulane got an absolutely massive game from running back Matt Forte (CUSA record 342 yards!) and scored a 41-34 upset in overtime. Fortunately for the Mustangs, Forte is finished school now. While Tulane lost it's offensive star, the Mustangs brought in a proven winner in coach June Jones, who recently had plenty of success at Hawaii. Jones knows that a victory here would have his team right back where they should be and he desperately wants to avoid a third straight blowout loss. The Mustangs won by five points (33-28) here in 2006 and I look for these teams to play a third straight close game tonight. *Annihilator

Wunderdog
We rate each pick 1 to 5 units with 5 being the strongest play (read about units). Risk 1% of your bankroll per unit (never risk more than 5% of total bankroll on any pick).
Game: Pittsburgh at Milwaukee (8:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Pittsburgh +194 (moneyline) (risk 3 to win 5.8)
This line is very inflated because the Brewers have a vested interest in the outcome as it pertains to their wildcard tie with the falling Mets. It is hard to lay two-to-one odds on a pitcher that has been on the shelf since May 1, in Yovani Gallardo. That means a lot of innings for a pen that has blown 26 saves already this season. The Brewers have been shaky down the stretch with just seven wins in their last 22 games. Zach Duke has underachieved all season, but he has been very solid in three of his last four starts, where he has allowed two runs or less. Duke keeps the Pirates in the game, then it is roll the dice, and at two-to-one odds I'll stand behind the Pirates.
Game: Chicago White Sox at Minnesota (8:10 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Minnesota -144 (moneyline) (risk 3 to win 2.1)
The noose is tightening around the necks of the White Sox as their lead is down to just a half game over the Twins. The Twins have taken the first two games and are playing loose and free. This is the pivotal game. If the Twins lose they are two back with three to play. The White Sox are 10 games under .500 on the road while the Twins are 25 over at home, but barely over .500 against right hand pitching. Kevin Slowey has been a full 1.5 runs better at home, 3.04 vs. his road ERA of 4.52, and the Twins are now 7-1 in his last eight home starts. Gavin Floyd has a road ERA of over four, and the Pale Hose are just 7-7 in his last 14 road starts. Minnesota has been 32-10 over their last 42 at home, and I like them to take over first place in the AL Central with the win here.
Game: San Diego at Los Angeles Dodgers (10:10 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Los Angeles Dodgers -116 (moneyline) (risk 3 to win 2.6)
The only thing holding this moneyline down is Jake Peavy. It certainly isn't the way the Padres are hitting and winning as they are close to 100 losses on the season, and have been out-scored 22-5 in the first two games here. The fact is that Peavy has been poor on the road with a sub-par 4.20 ERA, so not even close to the same pitcher, and the Padres have been no better off with him on the mound anyway as they are 8-15 in his last 23 starts. The Dodgers are hot and 18-5 in their last 23, so I'll back them here.
Game: Los Angeles Angels at Seattle (10:10 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Los Angeles Angels -113 (moneyline) (risk 3 to win 2.7)
I am still not sure what the books are thinking here, but I'll keep playing the value. The M's have reached the century mark in losses, and Los Angeles is fast approaching 100 wins, but the lines keep showing something different. The Angels are still playing meaningful games, to secure home field throughout the playoffs, so while the pennant race lines are -200 or more everyday, these lines are issued like LA is not going to show up. Well they have shown up enough to win 11 of their last 14, while leading the division by 20 games, and two of three here. There just isn't anything more that needs to be said, but Seattle against half the Angels’ regulars is not close to even money here, going Angels in this one.

Black Magic Sports
1 Unit on Houston Astros -1.5 +116
Houston and Roy Oswalt will keep fighting until they are mathematically eliminated from the postseason. Beating up on the Reds by at least 2 runs won?t be a problem for Oswalt and company. Get this, Roy Oswalt is 21-1 with a 2.58 ERA in 25 lifetime starts against Cincinnati. He has only suffered one loss in 25 outings against the Reds. If that?s not domination then I don?t know what is. The Astros have won his last 2 starts against Cincinnati by 3 runs each. Johnny Cueto is 0-2 with a 6.50 ERA lifetime against Houston. Oswalt is 17-4 vs. an NL team with a team batting average of .255 or worse over the last 2 seasons. The Astros are winning his starts against these teams by an average of 1.6 runs/game. Cash in with the Astros on the -1.5 Run Line as Oswalt shuts down the Reds once again.

THE SPORTS ADVISORS
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
(1) USC (2-0 SU and ATS) at Oregon State (1-2 SU and ATS)
Southern Cal, which took a week off after flattening then-fifth-ranked Ohio State, opens up Pac-10 Conference play by heading north to Corvallis, Ore., to take on Oregon State at Reser Stadium.
The Trojans proved they deserved to be a 10?-point home chalk, and then some, with a 35-3 bashing of the Buckeyes on Sept. 13. USC racked up 348 total yards while allowing just 207, and won the turnover battle 3-1. QB Mark Sanchez (17 of 28, 178 yards, 4 TDs, 1 INT) was efficient and effective, and RB Joe McKnight ripped off 105 yards on just 12 carries.
The Beavers also took last weekend off after routing Hawaii 45-7 as a 14-point home favorite Sept. 13, winning and cashing for the first time this season. Oregon State racked up 485 total yards ? including 217 on the ground ? while yielding just 211 yards (57 rushing). QB Lyle Moevao completed 20 of 34 passes for 268 yards and three TDs against the outmatched Rainbows.
USC has won eight of the last 10 clashes in this rivalry, but Oregon State has split the cash in those meetings. Last year, the Trojans rolled 24-3 as a 15?-point home favorite, but two years ago at Reser Stadium, the Beavers pulled off a 33-31 home upset as a 10?-point pup to end USC?s 27-game conference winning streak. In fact, the home team is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings, and Oregon State has gone 3-0 ATS (2-1 SU) in its last three home contests against the Trojans.
The Trojans are just 1-4 ATS in their last five on artificial turf, but their ATS trends are all positive from there, including 6-1 overall, 4-1 on the road, 7-1 after a bye and 9-4 against losing teams. The Beavers are also on a bevy of positive pointspread streaks, including 8-3 overall, 5-0 at home, 5-0 after a bye, 5-1 after a SU win and 6-2 in conference play, though they are in a 2-6 ATS rut against winning teams.
The under for Southern Cal is on a 10-3 overall tear and is on further runs of 5-0 against losing teams, 7-1 after an ATS win, 8-2 after a SU win and 20-7 in Pac-10 play. Also, Oregon State sports under streaks of 8-2-1 after a bye week and 4-1 at home.
ATS ADVANTAGE: UNDER
SMU (1-3, 1-2 ATS) at Tulane (1-2, 3-0 ATS
Southern Methodist, already set for its fifth game of the season, travels to the Superdome in New Orleans for a Conference USA matchup against Tulane.
The Mustangs have little time to regroup after getting bounced 48-7 by Texas Christian on Saturday, failing to cash despite being a 24?-point home underdog. That came on the heels of a 43-7 blowout road loss at the hands of Texas Tech ? though SMU barely cashed as a 36?-point underdog. Against TCU, the Mustangs were outgained 498-210, going backward on the ground with minus-8 net rushing yards.
Tulane also suited up Saturday, beating Louisiana-Monroe 24-10 as a five-point home chalk to maintain its perfect 2008 ATS mark, which includes spread-covers against ranked foes Alabama and East Carolina. Against Louisiana-Monroe, the Green Wave finished with impressive advantages of 454-182 in total yards and 24-9 in first downs.
Tulane has gone 2-1 SU and ATS in the last three years of this rivalry, narrowly cashing last year in a 41-34 overtime victory as a 6?-point road favorite. In fact, the road team has cashed in each of the last three meetings.
The Mustangs are mired in ATS funks of 2-4 overall, 1-5 against losing teams, 3-7 in CUSA contests and 18-35 in September. Likewise, the Green Wave are only 6-17-1 ATS in their last 24 conference matchups, but they sport positive ATS streaks of 5-1 overall, 4-0 in September and 4-1 against losing teams.
The over is 13-6 in SMU?s last 19 conference tilts, but the under has cashed in five of SMU?s last seven games on the highway. For Tulane, the under is on tears of 12-5 overall, 5-2 at home, 4-1 after a SU win and 6-2 against losing teams.
ATS ADVANTAGE: TULANE

THE GOLD SHEET
*TULANE 37 - Smu 13?Although substantial favorite an exceedingly
strange pointspread role for long-suffering Tulane, inclined to support resurgent host following last week?s satisfying win over La.-Monroe. Squalid SMU ?stop? unit (nation?s-worst 531 ypg) can?t stop anyone, and Mustangs have scored just 2 TDs in last 2 games behind misfiring true frosh QB Mitchell (10 ints. TY). Green Wave has enough rushing and defense (only 223 ypg?No. 8 in country!) to bludgeon visitor into submission. (07-Tulane 41-SMU 34 (OT)...S.23-21 T.50/361 S.32/84 S.28/37/1/354 T.13/24/0/160 T.1 S.1) (07-Tulane +6 41-34 (OT) 06-Smu -3 33-28 05-Tulane -3' 31-10...SR: Tulane 11-5)
*Southern Cal 37 - OREGON STATE 10?Granted, Corvallis has been a
real minefield lately for SC, which has failed to cover last 3 trips to Reser
Stadium and lost 2 of those outright (including 33-31 shocker in ?06). But can?t envision erratic OSU QB Moevao doing too much business vs. Pete Carroll?s latest defensive monster that?s loaded with future NFL first-round draftees. And since rebuilt Beaver ?D? not yet generating the pressure of recent OSU stop units, Mark Sanchez should again have plenty of time to locate his various weapons downfield. CABLE TV?ESPN
(07-S. CAL 24-Ore. St. 3...S.16-12 S.36/100 O.37/91 S.20/34/0/187 O.11/28/1/85 S.1 O.0) (07-USC -16' 24-3 06-OSU +10' 33-31...SR: Southern Cal 58-9-4)

Tulane is a very underrated program, but I don't think they should be heavy favorites at this margin over anybody just yet. Tulane is also 3-0 against the spread this season and everyone saw how well they played against Alabama and ECU. Tulane clearly is the better team and at home should get the win, but June Jones is one heck of a coach and the SMU team fits the same system that the Hawaii offense did under Jones for some many years. Tulane has done a great job at getting pressure on the quarterback, but tonight it will be very difficult because SMU gets rid of the ball so fast. The betting public is all over Tulane. Look for SMU to cover the spread
