Play: Philadelphia Phillies

Ai Simulator 3* graded play on the Phillies - Phils lost a tough won last night, but are still surging toward the playoffs. They will play these same Nats 7 times over the remainder of the season and quite frankly, they should take 6 of them. The Phillies offense in the NL version of the NYY and they can overcome poor starts with the bats. In fact, it has been since 1908 since a team had a winning record with a pitching staff sporting a 4.85 ERA in the NL. Philly bullpen has righted their ship and sports a solid 2.43 ERA and a 0.919 WHIP over their past 7 games. Supporting this graded play is a system that has gone 100-62 and has made 50.6 units since 1997. Play against any NL team that has a bad offense scoring <=4.1 runs/game and with a starting pitcher whose WHIP is 1.250 or better on the season and is now facing an average starting pitcher sporting an ERA=4.20 to 5.20. Philly also runs the bases Philly has not hit any HR in their past 2 games and this puts the Phillies into a very strong role. Phils are 7-1 this season following 2 straight games with NO HR. Take the Phils.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20

*Texas A&M 20 - MIAMI-FLORIDA 19--Unsettled Hurricane offense blowing more cold than hot early on, although return to LY's starter Kyle Wright at QB gives aerial attack more zip. Tough for Aggie option to get to corners vs. speedy UM defense. Still, A&M should be able to pound ball between tackles with bruising jr. RB J. Lane (6-0, 275; 6 TDs last 2 games). Hurricanes haven't lost a Thursday night game since 2000, but Aggies 5-1-1 last 7 as dog. CABLE TV--ESPN
