Don't miss out on the two play package tonight featuring an under dog MLB POD I'm 26-12 in my last 38 MLB POD's and we give you a bonus in college football in a big interstate rivalry being played in a NFL stadium tonight backed by a full in depth analysis


Corey Luebke since being a starter has pitched over his head with a 3.53 ERA at home even that's not enough to over come the Padres poor offense as they are ranked last vs. RHP in terms oOPS and last in terms of OPS at home with a .629. They'll face Alex White who is still very raw but had an ERA under 2 in the minors between the Indians and the Rockies. He made two impressive starts for the Indians vs. the Tigers and Angels two playoff teams as he went 6 innings in each giving up 2 ER and 3 ER his only mistakes were home runs which the Padres just are not going to hit. Luebke on the other hand who was out of the bullpen earlier this year has had starts against teams that just don't hit lefties well and as a starter he has not pitched that well and he's faced teams ranked 29th, 28th, 23rd, 19th, 18th, and 12th vs. LHP in terms of OPS. Now he faces the Rockies who are ranked 10th and have beat him up in the past as he posts a 1.86 WHIP and 7.45 ERA as he's given up 3 HR. Rockies are 8-2 in their last 10 meetings here and the Padres are just 5-22 in their last 27 games vs. NL west.


This in state rivalry will be played at lUcas Oil Stadium and on turf. That's bad news for Ball State that will have to cover a solid group of receivers from Indiana led by Demarlo Belcher who is big and has good hands. Indiana has some seniors that remember the 2008 loss 42-20 to Ball State and will look to revenge that loss and I think they will. That was a good Ball State team that went 12-0. Both these teams are rebuilding and have new coaches. Indiana's Kevin Wilson and his team sounds like they are going to be more aggressive on defense and they have the players talking with confidence. Indiana has won 8 of their last 9 opening games and they have only lost two games vs. the MAC in the last 33 years. Their offensive line should be the difference as they have 3 seniors and 2 red shirt juniors. The defense switches to a 4-3 and they'll play lots of man to man which will force Ball State QB Keith Wenning to be accurate in his second year and that's something that won't happen in my opinion Wenning through 10 starts a year ago had 14 interceptions and 54.5% completion percentage. Ball State is also running a new no huddle offense and it looked awful in the spring Indiana's new look defense should take advantage and I look for them to run the ball effectively on Ball State with Matt Perez who is showing vision and power in practices for Indiana as he has "wowed coaches."
