Las Vegas - The Quantrill family has been around MLB for years, starting with daddy Paul all the way back in 1992. He played for seven teams and was just a little below average. His kid Cal is WAY better. Cal is sitting on a 14-5 record this season with a 3.42 ERA. But the funny thing about those five losses is, they all happened before July 11th. Since that point, young Quantrill has ripped off TEN straight wins, and is one of the reasons that the Guardians won the A.L. Central.

Las Vegas - If there is anyone pitching better than Brandon Woodruff at the moment, gimme a name. Woodruff is trying to keep the Brewers in contention for a Wild Card, and MAN is he dealing. He has won four in a row, and allowed only two earned runs over the last 20 innings. That's a 0.90 ERA and you can throw in 31 Ks over those 20 frames, yea, THIRTY ONE!

Las Vegas - How does a team go from putrid to kinda pretty good? Well, sometimes, it's all about the coach. The Jaguars suffered through an UGLY 3-14 season under Urban Meyer.

Las Vegas - Stepping into the college football world this afternoon and will roll with Kansas +3.5 points over Iowa State. When you look at the Kansas record, 4-0 straight up and against the spread, you might think, like Dorothy in the 'Wizard of Oz,' "Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore. If you had Kansas at FOUR & OH before the season started, bravo. I did not. However, the new regime led by Lance Leipold, has started to rock. Who is this guy Leipold? I'll tell ya.

Las Vegas - As long as he doesn't cut his hair, we're gonna roll with Adrian Sampson and the Cubs over the Reds. Sampson has been quite a find for the Cubbies and one of the reasons that they've won seven of the last eight (not in including last night). In particular, Sampson's last four starts have been close to perfection. He threw 24 innings and allowed only three earned runs for a svelte 1.13 ERA. We love the way Chicago is closing the season, but can't say the same about Cincy.
