The Yankees may have the best record in baseball, but it’s not because of the previous meetings with today’s opponent.

Toronto Blue Jays at New York Yankees

Toronto may be 14 1/2 games behind the Yankees in the AL East standings heading into this weekend, but the club has a 7-5 season series advantage coming into this three-game set at the Rogers Centre.  The Blue Jays are also the first club to hit 200 home runs this season, led by outfielder Jose Bautista.  The Major League leader with 43 home runs was named the AL Offensive Player of the Month in August for clubbing 12 long balls and driving in 24 runs. The club is averaging 4.4 runs per game on the road and hitting for a combined .241 average, but those numbers go up to 5.0 runs and a .258 mark against right-handed starters.  Toronto has posted a disappointing 8-13 mark as a road underdog of +125 to +150 this season (-230) and the total is 11-9 O/U in those games.  It’s also important to note that the team is 30-25 against division opponents in 2010 (+1,080).

The Beavers are a solid college football pick offering value on the moneyline
The TCU Horned Frogs and Oregon State Beavers are two teams that consistently outperform expectations. Year in and year out, these two clubs are at or near the top of their respective conference, the Mountain West and Pac 10. Last year TCU ran the regular season table, losing to Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl. Oregon State was a game away from the Rose Bowl, but a loss to bitter in-state rival Oregon sent the Beavers to the Las Vegas Bowl. Oregon State was manhandled by BYU, likely the result of a post-Oregon hangover.

Arizona Cardinals Football
With Leinart and Anderson in a QB duel for the starting position, both should see a decent amount of action tonight.
When the Washington Redskins head to Arizona to take on the Cardinals Thursday night, the ‘Skins will travel farther than any other preseason team this year. In fact, this will be the longest road trip for the Redskins all season long. “Why couldn’t they come here?” asked guard Derrick Dockery. Head coach Mike Shanahan added, “It’s a little unusual traveling that far.” These are not the kind of comments you want to be reading if you are backing Washington. Considering this is the final week of the preseason and the game doesn’t really matter, Redskins bettors should be very worried.

The Oakland Raiders finally moved past the disastrous draft pick of quarterback JaMarcus Russell by letting him go in the offseason and trading for Jason Campbell.  While Campbell will not be leading the Raiders to the Super Bowl anytime soon, he should be able to provide them with some consistency and help get them back on track to finish near the .500 mark for the first time since they earned their way to the big game back in 2002.  Oakland does not have a difficult schedule this year and plays in a weak AFC West, where only the San Diego Chargers stand out as a legitimate playoff team.  If Raiders head coach Tom Cable manages his solid stable of running backs Michael Bush, Darren McFadden and Michael Bennett correctly, Campbell will not be forced to make things happen on his own and should avoid mistakes.  That could translate to a successful season as long as the defense stays healthy and continues to grow as well.
