Bad beat for Pitt bettors as players couldn't drain free throws

The Pittsburgh Panthers had four free throw attempts in the final 30 seconds to cover the spread against Boston College Wednesday. Both shooters for the Panthers went 1-2 at the line ensuring that Boston College covered the spread by .5.

This all happened because Talib Zanna of Pitt was called for a foul against BC's Olivier Hanlan that allowed Hanlan to complete a three point play with under a minute left.

This was Boston College's first win ATS at home all season.

MLB: Detroit vs. Arizona
Pick:
Detroit
Start:
July 23, 2014 - 3:40 PM
Capper:
Bryan Power
Offered at:
pinnacle @ -144 Detroit
Analysis:

"The Real Deal" Bryan Power brought out the broom Tuesday, delivering a MONSTER 4-0 SWEEP & is now a RED HOT 85-55-1 (+$16,000) overall L37 days!

What are you waiting for? The time to subscribe is now! Overall, BP has gone 18-7 the L8 days!

WNBA is on an INSANE 11-1 Run currently & TOP RATED *10*'s are on a 15-4 Run - in ALL Sports!

1* Detroit (3:40 ET):  Not to "toot my own horn" or anything, but was my analysis spot on for last night's Tigers-D'backs game or what?  I ended the analysis by making mention of Detroit's shaky bullpen (I had the Over) and sure enough Phil Coke, Al Albuquerque and Ian Krol all contributed in blowing a 4-3 lead the offense had given them in the top of the 8th. The two runs Arizona scored in that inning pushed that game Over the total.  However, today I'll call for the Tigers to bounce back behind their solid starter Anibal Sanchez.  Hopefully, the bullpen won't be called on at all here.

Sanchez has yet to lose on the road this year, going 3-0 in six outings w/ a 2.16 ERA & 1.080 WHIP.  After winning five of six starts overall, he comes into today off a rare loss as he allowed 4 ER to Cleveland in 6 IP, still not a terrible performance by any means.  He has a strong history of pitching well vs. NL opponents w/ a 2.15 ERA in six starts.  Going back to his time w/ Miami, he is 3-1 in six career starts vs. Arizona including a no-hitter!  Despite the recent struggles, I still give Sanchez a big nod over D'backs' starter Trevor Cahill, who in five trips to the mound has posted a 8.34 ERA & 1.941 WHIP.

Arizona has won 4 of 5 since the All Star Break.  This despite trailing in every one of those games.  The Tigers still boast a strong road record for the season at 29-17 while the D'backs have been awful at home w/ a 21-32 mark.  The better team takes care of business here.  1* Detroit.
