A look at the hot and cold pitchers going today. The information you need to know whether it is for fantasy baseball or wagering contests. We personally have fallen into a combination of bad luck and bad sports picks to be honest. On Monday night we had the Dolphins who dominated the game with 200 yards rushing and dominated the time of possession at 45 minutes, but lost the game!
The Major League Baseball playoffs start in two weeks so now would be a good time to pick the 2009 World Series winner at betED.com.
As has been the case late in many past seasons, the New York Yankees are considered a big favorite to win the World Series, as they are at +150 odds in MLB Betting Odds at betED.com.
This is our waiver wire pick-ups column. Dave B scours the free agent pools in fantasy land for the best available talent every week. Availability, of course, depends on the league.

After Monday Night NFL betting gave us some surprisingly close games in Week 1, can the Colts and Dolphins treat us to something special tonight? Both teams’ offenses stalled last week, so something tells me there’s a barn burner in the making in Miami.
Each week, the CappersPicks.com staff brings you players you need to be paying attention to: Remember – fantasy football championships are often won by those who live eat and breath fantasy football.

Without wasting any more of your time, here are the Week 2 Fantasy Football Studs & Duds plus key player stats for the NFL games that went on on this week (Week 2).
It’s no secret that the Miami Dolphins have the toughest schedule in the NFL and they are getting a very early, bitter taste to start the season.
After facing one 2008 playoff team from the NFC South, they face the 2008 AFC South winner on Monday Night Football.
The Dolphins were one of the surprise teams last season because of a number of reasons: they took care of the football, they were able to run the ball and they protected the quarterback.
The New Orleans Saints made sure they caught everyone’s attention by decimating the Lions 45-27 in Week 1 betting. Drew Brees was the headline grabber of the weekend, throwing for 358-yards and 6 touchdowns. The game against Detroit was a nice tune-up, but now we get to really see what the Saints can do on the road against a vaunted Eagles’ defense that caused five turnovers last weekend against Carolina.
If you thought the aerial arsenal of the Arizona Cardinals was one-dimensional, then the one-man band of the Jacksonville Jaguars should lower the bar a little for you. Maurice Jones-Drew had five receptions, but managed to rumble for 97 rushing yards and the Jaguars only touchdown against Indy.
Arizona Cardinal (0-1) vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (0-1)
Sunday, September 20th — Municipal Stadium, Jacksonville — 1:00pm EST
NFL Betting Line: Jax -3 (42)
Minnesota Vikings (1-0) vs. Detroit Lions (0-1)
Sunday, September 20 th
Ford Field, Detroit — 1:00pm EST
NFL Betting Line: Minnesota -10 (46.5)
The Lions are winless in 2009 so far, and that fact will hold true after Week 2 is in the bag. After allowing Drew Brees to throw for six touchdowns, the Lions are inviting Brett Favre to Ford Field to try and do the same. To make matters worse, the Vikings present a much more dynamic attack, boasting the league’s leading MVP candidate, Adrian Peterson.
At 34-14-1, there is no better team in the National Football League playing its home opener than the Dallas Cowboys. And win or lose, no home opener will be more memorable than Sunday’s night’s cage match against the New York Giants in the new 100,000-seat Cowboys Stadium.
Game-day: 9/20/2009
Kick-off: 4:15 pm EST
Here are the BetUS online sportsbook football odds for this game.
Cleveland Browns +3 -105 +150 O 37 ½ -110
Denver Broncos -3 -115 -170 U 37 ½ -110
The Denver Broncos are ranked highly in the BetUS NFL Power Rankings due to a lucky play towards the end of their Week 1 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Does Denver deserve a top ranking? No. Do I expect them to keep it?
Oakland Raiders (0-1) vs. Kansas City Chiefs (1-0)
Sunday, September 20th — Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas — 1:00pm EST
NFL Betting Line: KC -3 (38.5)
In their college days, Michael Bush and Run DMC were two of the best backs in the nation. Now they share a backfield, making Justin Fargas virtually expendable. Bush and DMC combined for 123.0 yards and a score against one of the better 3-4 defenses in the league.
There was a new regime, new parts and new optimism in St. Louis but all of that excitement quickly died down after one game. The Rams were shutout 28-0 and while the effort was there, they still got smacked around.
Meanwhile, the Redskins also had a discouraging performance as their offense looked disjointed and they couldn’t capitalize on good opportunities that their defense – and the New York Giants – created.
Stanford and Purdue were both close, but no cigar for us, which means it’s an even week. Let’s see if we can keep it positive in the third week of action.
Record: 5-3 (+3.20)
