Monday's Picks

Monday (9-19-05)

Cowboys vs. Redskins – Both are 1-0. The offenses click for both sides. Moss and Portis are strong for the ‘Skins. Both defenses aren’t so good on 3rd down. Cowboys gave up two 4th down conversions. ‘Boys have Jones, Johnson, and Bledsoe who look great right now. Crayton is also notable due to having 6 catches and 89 yards. I liked the Cowboys from the very beginning on this one, and the stats back up my thoughts. Cowboys do it for the triplets, 24-14.

Astros vs. Pittsburgh – Clemens vs. Snell – Clemens has pitched very well against the Pirates this year, 15 innings, 1.20 ERA (2 runs on 6 hits) and 17 Ks, but he has yet to pull down a win from them. The Pirates as a team have a career .154 average against him. And no homeruns in 104 at bats. Maybe they are due? Clemens strikes out about 29% of the Pirate’s hitters. Snell has pitched against Houston, he is 0-1 with a 6.43 ERA. He gave up 11 hits and 5 runs in 7 innings and Houston is hitting .379 against him this year. Houston over Pittsburgh (a win for Roger? Yes.) 6-1.
