COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Steven Hall has #22 Houston visiting #13 Texas Tech, both 2-0 and both having looked sharp offensively against soft early schedules. Texas Tech is the home favorite coming off a College Football Playoff appearance, and history is on their side — the Red Raiders have taken seven straight in this series and 12 of the last 13, including a 35-11 win last year, even though Houston leads all-time 18-17-1.

TODAY'S EXCLUSIVE PICKS

Mark Lammey
MLB HR PICK
|
Francisco Lindor (NYM)
To Hit a Home Run (+435)
One of the first newsletter picks we hit, if not the first (it's hard to keep track of winners at this point) was the Mets switch hitter. Well, we're back on him tonight with the Phillies not even having a listed starter the morning of the game. Signs are pointing towards Alan Rangel getting the start, but we aren't going to be scared of anyone that isn't one of their 3 studs (Sanchez, Luzardo, Wheeler), and righty/lefty not making a huge difference for Lindor, we're rolling with the shortstop.

MLB STOLEN BASE PICK
|
Randy Arozarena (SEA)
To Steal a Base (+367)
Closing out the week in style with Arozarena with his six-game hitting streak and his .371 OBP with 16 stolen bases against righthanded pitching this season. He faces the always hittable Ryan Feltner who allows a .348 wOBA to righties and his catching tandem that has a dismal 15.7-percent caught-stealing rate. Friday night theft is in the air!
