*200 Los Angeles Dodgers -169
I am taking the Dodgers today for the away win. The Dodgers are 26-10 SU since 2008 vs a team that has won at least their last two games. I also have the Reds as a poor 12-30 SU since 2006 after a win in which their starter pitched at least 8 innings. Take the Dodgers for the Win.

Atlanta Braves at Philadelphia Phillies
Prediction: Philadelphia Phillies
Ai Simulator 5* graded play on Philadelphia as they face Atlanta set to start at 7:05 EST. Lee has been a greater pitcher since coming over from a frustrating situation in Cleveland. Of course, Lidge, is a very big and real problem for the Phillies, but the remainder of the bullpen continues to very strong ? perhaps even stronger than last year?s edition. Lee has posted a 0.37 ERA and a .708 WHIP over his last 3 starts. What is even more amazing is that he allowed just 3 BB and recorded 24 K?s in those starts spanning 24 innings. Derek Lowe is struggling and no pitcher is going to walk into Citizen?s Bank Park and do well with limited confidence. He has posted a 7.47 ERA and 2.042 WHIP over his last 3 starts. He has recorded just 8 K?s during these 3 starts and reflects a loss a speed on the FB. Charlie Manuel is a solid 70-28 (+31.0 Units) against the money line in home games after allowing 2 runs or less as the manager of the Phils. Supporting this graded play is a system that has gone 42-14 making 27.6 units since 2003. Play on any team with a starting pitcher whose gives up 7 or more hits/start and a WHIP <= 1.000 over his last 5 starts. Take Philadelphia.

San Francisco 49ers @ Dallas Cowboys
Pick: 5 units Under 39
Mike Singletary has made one thing clear: he expects his teams to play hard and to play to win. Thus far they have delivered two wins, each by a single point. Look for them to kick it up a notch here in week three and play strong on defense, where the intensity shows up the most. Singletary is likely to remind his team of the 35 points Dallas hung on them a year ago, and I expect a fairly physical game here. This total is set rather high, anticipating the Dallas offense behind Tony Romo to score at will. Yes, this Cowboys offense is superb - in the regular season. The truth is, over the last eight years, the Cowboys have never put up more than 23 points in a preseason game and their opponents have averaged just 15.6 ppg. The average points scored in Dallas games in week three have been 34.5 ppg. And, these clubs hooked up in a game three a few years ago and put up just 24 total points. This number is too high, and I'm going with the UNDER.
