Payton Manning wont play much tonight and backup Jim Sorgi is out of this game. The Colts just are not the same team they once were. Indianapolis is not a deep team and without their starters are pretty weak. The Colts also will not have kicker Adam Vinatieri tonight. Indy punter Pat McAfee is also just a rookie. Look for struggles in the special teams department. Minnesota has a better QB rotation and is extremely deep at the running back spot. The Vikings are a much deeper team and should get the win tonight. Take the Vikings.

Broncos -3 over 49ers

The 49ers look to have some issues already this year. They did finish strong in 2008, but they have yet to sign their top pick and they have a QB controversy between Shawn Hill and Alex Smith. The 49ers will hold out their best players tonight. That is a clear sign that they do not want to win this game. Denver is a deeper team and new head coach Josh McDaniels will want to start his career off with a victory, even if it is just the preseason. Take the Broncos.

15* on Rockies/Marlins OVER 8
These two teams are red hot offensively, so I'm sticking with the Over, even with Josh Johnson on the mound. The Rockies are hitting .352 as as team over the last 7 days and a scoring 7.7 runs per game, while the Marlins are scoring 7.6 runs per game and hitting .330. To top things off, Rockies starter, Jason Hammel has a 7.62 ERA and 2.08 WHIP over his last three starts.

4-DIME MLB POD & 1.5 Dime Bonus
MLB Play of the Days (POD's):
Take Red Sox/Rangers Under 8.5 Runs -110 & Red Sox -138 1.5 Dimes
We are going with the under in this one. Millwood has yet to give up a run this season to the Red Sox and despite the Red Sox with excellent numbers against him over his career they will be without Youkilis again and it will be a hole in their lineup. Which is why I'm liking the under here. My main cause for concern with Millwood is he has not gone into 7th inning in his last 7 starts meaning the game will fall to the bullpen in a close game. Good for Texas is their bullpen has been solid all year long with the 7th best bullpen behind the Mets. They are behind 2 AL teams one being Boston with the 2nd best bullpen.
Red Sox might not need their bullpen with Lester on the mound. He's coming off two solid performances on the road at TB and NYY, but did not get the win which should make him more motivated going here tonight against a team he gave up 2H and 11k's in a complete game win this year. Actually I think it is the perfect match up for Lester as the Rangers lead the league in K's and when Lester throws more than 8K's he is 7-0 and the Red Sox are 9-1 overall. I expect a similar performance and it will be a pitchers duel. Rangers get Kinsler back, but he's 1-12 against Lester. Rangers Nelson Cruz a HR threat is questionable and even if he plays I like Lester who has a 1.67 ERA over his last 4 road starts.
The Under trends. Rangers are under 37-15-2 against left handed starters and are under 37-14-2 at home. The under is 10-1-3 in Lesters last game 1 starts and for good reason as he is ready to make a solid start and he'll need one here tonight in what should be a "playoff like" atmosphere with Boston leading the Rangers by 1/2 game in the Wild Card.
Red Sox -138 as a bonus because of the numbers they have against Millwood over their career they will have some of their players back in the lineup and although Youkilis leaves a big hole in the lineup with his 7-15 against Millwood his replacements Lowell (20-59 vs. Millwood) Varitek (12-29 vs. Millwood), Kotchman (5-15 vs. Millwood) and Martinez (6-14).
