Texas Tech has been bet up by the public and normally you should fade those types of moves
This Sunday features an interesting match-up between the Southern Methodist Mustangs and Texas Tech Red Raiders. Our college football betting lines page indicates that the Red Raiders opened as 10 ½ point favorites. But heavy betting on the side of Tech (75%) has raised that number to 13 ½ points at most books. With that many points, I think it’s wise to fade this public favorite and back the Mustangs.

The Padres are sinking fast and today’s opponent has been given new life due to their losing streak.

Colorado Rockies at San Diego Padres

Colorado picked up a 4-3 road victory versus the Padres on Friday night and moved to within 6 1/2 games of the division lead.  The Rockies had dropped three in a row heading into this weekend series, but the club has had great success against San Diego this season.  “What we talked about at the beginning of the season was winning the division,” shortstop Troy Tulowitzki said.  “That’s what gets you into the playoffs the easiest way.”  The team has been led offensively by outfielder Carlos Gonzalez, who is riding an 11-game hitting streak and is hitting .500 with six home runs and 14 RBIs over that stretch.  The team also remains confident heading into the final two games of the series due to a 33-29 all-time mark at Petco Park.  Colorado is 29-24 against the division this season (+140) and the total is 20-32 O/U in those contests.
