Tuesday Betting Card
As everyone at OffshoreInsiders.com
is trying to figure out what politically incorrect statement Tony Kornheiser has to apologize
for—yet doesn’t have to apologize for bringing up Andy Reid’s sons legal
problems—we will take a look at Tuesday information to beat the sportsbooks.
All we know is it had something to do with Mexican Independence day, which is
not Cinco de Mayo.
The books though are telling us that many sharpies exploited the fantasy football
betting odds on proposition bets involving Donovan McNabb, Desean Jackson, Terrell
Owens—basically everyone but Jerry Jones and the ghost of Leon Lett’s Super Bowl blunder fumble.
The Red Sox and Rays continue their series in
on Tuesday, while NFL bettors start to pour over all of the lines for Week 3.

The Gridiron Spotlight

team to a road win over the Jets. That has given the oddsmakers a little more
confidence in

on 10 hits over his last 11 innings of work, and he held the Rays to one earned
run over six innings last time out. Sonnanstine
held the Red Sox to one unearned run on four hits over seven innings in his
start against them September 10.
The other big matchup on the diamond on Tuesday night sees the Cubs playing
host to the Brewers.
is still reeling from a sweep at the hands of the Wild-Card rival Phillies over
the weekend, and they desperately need to right the ship this week. C.C.
Sabathia (9-0, 1.59 ERA in the NL) will get the ball for the Brewers in the
series opener on Tuesday night. Ryan Dempster
(15-6, 3.02 ERA) will take the hill for the Cubs.
