Multitasking Stitches’ college football record against the spread reads 39-30-1 heading into Saturday’s games. Still bugged by Oregon, who failed to finish the job against Stanford. Had leads of 24-7, 31-21 late and 31-28 with 51 ticks left when they fumbled the win away. Worst day in Ducks history since the creation of Duck a l’orange. … Happy David Wright Day! Tickets for today’s game are going for $138 on StubHub. Ticket for the Friday night game was worth $6.
Pirates end their season in Cincinnati. Jameson Taillon’s yielded three earned runs or fewer in each of his past 21 starts. Reds’ Michael Lorenzen allowed four runs in four innings to the Marlins last week. 20 units on Pirates and 10 units on Dodgers, who are still fighting for playoff positioning. Clayton Kershaw has come on strong, going 6-1 in his past 12 starts and holds a 1.20 ERA at San Francisco’s AT&T Park.
Miami mauled the Mets, 8-1, out-hitting them, 13-5, with Jose Urena going six for the win. Then the Yanks won at Fenway, 11-6, clinching home field for the wild-card game. Bombers hit four homers on a night that left us at -932 parseghians.
