154 Rutgers -12.0(-110) Westgate vs 153 Massachusetts triple-dime bet
Analysis: After 11 straight losses to close the 2018 season, Rutgers needs a "feel-good" win to start off 2019. The Scarlet Knights hammered Texas St 35-7 as a 16.5-point favorite in last year's opener and I expect more of the same here. Also note in their only other big favorite role in the last two years, Rutgers beat Morgan St 65-0 (-41) so head coach Chris Ash is certainly not afraid to run it up. Also this should be a much improved Rutgers offense with 8 starters back. On the other side, UMass is the least experienced team in the entire country (#130) with only 8 returning starters. It's clearly a rebuilding year under new head coach Walt Bell. The Minutemen lose their top 2 passers, their top 3 rushers and an All-American at WR in Andy Isabella (1,698 receiving yards last year).
I like this as a 3-star up to -14. 2-star from -14.5-16. 1-star at -16.5.

View Analysis
Anderson v. Quintana
Wind blowing in at Wrigley this afternoon and a game incredibly important for each team! Rizzo and Moustakas are both OUT and the analytics show Schwarber, Baez, and Russell all OWNED by Chase Anderson in the past.
Quintana has really amped up his pitching in August with a 10+/1 K/BB rate and a sub-3 FIP. This should start out a solid pitchers duel with goose eggs galore...but avoiding the bullpen is key to me!
