West Virginia was in the Big East and Dana Holgorsen was a first-year head coach the last time the Mountaineers won 10 games in a season.Five years into its membership in the Big 12, No. 14 West Virginia has a chance to do it again.Not many outside the teams inner circle thought there was a chance that could happen.Not with a defense that returned only a few starters from a year ago. And certainly not as one running back after another went down with midseason injuries, only to have others step in and thrive.The Mountaineers (9-2, 6-2) have finally moved into the leagues upper tier. And while turnover-riddled losses to Oklahoma State and Oklahoma took it out of the title chase, West Virginia can reach win No. 10 in the regular-season finale Saturday at home against Baylor (6-5, 3-5).Holgorsen, for one, knows what 10 wins could mean for a program that isnt considered to be in the forefront of the national title picture every year and was picked to finish seventh in the league this season.Its big. We understand that, Holgorsen said. Great for the program. It doesnt happen very often. That gives us some motivation moving forward to play this game to the best of our ability.It helps that West Virginias success came during a down year in the Big 12 with recent powers Baylor and TCU now in the middle of the pack and Texas toward the bottom. But that doesnt discount the strides the Mountaineers have made in a season in which Holgorsens job security has been under scrutiny.Part of that winning formula has been not buying into what outsiders say about the program.With the two losses, after each loss not panicking and continuing to work and continue to get better throughout the season, (we) continue to want to prove people wrong, linebacker Justin Ardnt said.WVU has recorded 10 wins only eight times in program history. Three of those came under Rich Rodriguez from 2005-2007.Holgorsen did it in 2011 in West Virginias final season in the Big East behind his version of the Air Raid offense.But that wasnt a springboard for success when West Virginia moved up to the Big 12 the following year. Building depth is something Holgorsen learned quickly was needed in the new league. His defenses were forced to use freshmen in starting roles and were frequently picked apart.We took our lumps earlier in Big 12 play and we knew it was going to take some time to be able to get our depth the right way, to be able to build the roster the right way, he said. Weve been heading in that direction for the last three years.Saturdays game will mark the final home one for 21 seniors.Arndt remembers arriving at WVU as a walk-on and the teams struggles of his first few seasons, including a 4-8 mark as a redshirt freshman in 2013. Now hes a first-year starter and leads the team with 71 tackles.I didnt think wed make it this far at all -- definitely accomplished a lot and exceeded expectations, Arndt said. You look at what people thought we were going to be and the expectations, it really just puts in reality how far weve come.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25Hydro Flask Heureka .

Hydro Flask Cz .com) - The Montreal Canadiens will try to halt their longest losing streak of the season when they host the struggling New York Islanders in tonights clash at the Bell Centre. Coming off a Thursday that was filled with multiple elite options and high-end hurlers in the middle tier, Friday feels like a bit of a letdown. Sure, theres a bona fide ace at the top (Scherzer) and some high-upside names in the middle (Velasquez, Matz), but some less-than-ideal matchups mean there arent necessarily any no-brainer cash options this time around. Theres still enough depth available to offer plenty of lineup options; itll just take some work. With that in mind, lets get to it.PitchingEliteNot surprisingly, Max Scherzer draws the top Game Score of the day with a road start at San Francisco. That said, the Giants present a pretty unappealing matchup. Not only are the Giants above average offensively against right-handed pitching, they strike out just 17 percent of the time, which is the lowest rate in the National League. Armed with an 11.5 K/9 that ranks second best in baseball behind only Jose Fernandez, Scherzer carries high strikeout potential into every start. Still, youll want to keep expectations in check given the Giants ability to make contact. Scherzer still carries a safe floor for cash games, but the upside is lower than usual.Its rare that Kenta Maeda joins the elite tier, but thats where he finds himself on Thursday with a home matchup against Arizona. The Diamondbacks have been unimpressive versus righty pitching this season, putting up an 89 wRC+ and 23 percent strikeout rate, so its obviously a much friendlier spot than what Scherzer is matching up against. Then again, in his last six outings, Maeda has whiffed more than six batters just once and has just two quality starts, so hes not as safe, either.SolidOne of the days most appealing matchups belongs to Steven Matz, who is set to square off against the Rockies at Citi Field. In addition to being helpless against left-handed pitching this season, evidenced by an 86 wRC+ and 23 percent whiff rate, the Rox offense goes dormant whenever it leaves Coors Field (80 wRC+, 23 percent strikeout rate). After a rough June (5.74 ERA), Matz has settled down in July (3.24 ERA), and this is a matchup he should exploit. I like him in both cash games and tournaments on Friday.Just missing the elite tier is Vince Velasquez, who gets a road start against Atlanta. Its a terrific matchup. Although the Braves arent a big strikeout team, they have the worst offense in baseball against right-handed pitching (75 wRC+). For his part, Velasquez has high-end whiff potential (10.1 K/9) and owns a 2.70 ERA since returning from the DL in late June. However, his cash appeal is somewhat limited by the fact that hes pitched past the sixth inning just twice in 17 starts this season and has not fared well on the road (4.89 ERA).Over his last seven starts, Jon Lester owns a 5.89 ERA and 1.50 WHIP. He also sports a 4.7 walk rate with 10 homers allowed in those seven outings. Needless to say, Lester seems to be in a bit of a funk. With a decent home matchup against Seattle on tap, the southpaw is worth some GPP consideration given that hes likely to be underowned. However, his recent performance is making me steer clear in cash for now. Granted, with the days only afternoon start time, his DFS availability will be limited anyway.After a brilliant June (2.01 ERA), Trevor Bauer has stumbled a bit so far in July (5.66 ERA). However, Fridays matchup against Oakland might be what needs to get back on track. The As have been the worst team in the American League against righties this season (88 wRC+), and things havent been any better in July (87 wRC+). If youre looking to save cap space, hes worth consideration as an SP2 on multi-pitcher sites.Jose Quintana continues to make sense as a solid cash-game play if you dont want to pay top dollar for one of the elite arms. He offers great start-to-start stability from a run prevention standpoint and still misses enough bats to matter. With the Twins on the schedule, Quintana gets an offense thats slightly above average against lefties but also strikes out at a healthy 223 percent clip.dddddddddddd Maybe hes a little boring, but boring is OK in cash games.StreamersJake Odorizzi is coming off his best start of the season, as he tossed eight shutout innings against Oakland last Friday. Hes in another spot to thrive this Friday with the Yankees coming to town. New York has put up an 88 wRC+ versus righties this season, which is something Odorizzi should be able to exploit. Hes still a free agent in more than half of ESPN leagues.Colin McHughs ESPN.com ownership is just 42 percent, but its no surprise that that number is on the rise. After all, the right-hander has posted a 2.49 ERA and 9.0 K/9 over his last seven starts. Detroit may have a lineup that can do some damage, but the Tigers have been struggling offensively in July (86 wRC+) and strike out 22 percent of the time versus right-handed pitching.Available in 57 percent of ESPN.com leagues, Mike Leake carries some streaming appeal against a Marlins team thats below average against right-handed pitching. The Cardinals righty has been a bit up-and-down of late, but hes in a decent spot if you need innings or are chasing wins.Tyler Chatwood doesnt get much attention in fantasy due to being a Colorado Rockies pitcher, but he becomes interesting when hes away from Coors Field. In eight road starts this season, the right-hander owns a pristine 1.30 ERA and 1.01 WHIP. Traveling to Citi Field to take on a Mets team thats below average versus righties and strikes out a lot puts Chatwood in a very nice spot on Friday.AvoidBrandon Finnegan has struggled mightily this season but a start against the lowly Padres would at least make him a decent streaming option, right? Wrong. While the Padres lineup is one of the worst in baseball against right-handed pitching (82 wRC+), it might surprise you to learn that its actually been the best in baseball against lefty pitching (119 wRC+). Keep the Reds lefty on the waiver wire.HittingTim Lincecum is the worst-ranked starter of the day. He has been hammered by both left- (.377 wOBA) and right-handed (.584 wOBA) bats. The Red Sox, meanwhile, have been the most lethal team in baseball versus right-handed pitching this season. This one could get ugly in a hurry, so youll definitely want some exposure to the Boston bats. Mookie Betts, Dustin Pedroia, Xander Bogaerts, David Ortiz, Hanley Ramirez and Jackie Bradley Jr. are all top-tier plays here. Go nuts.We already discussed avoiding Finnegan against the Padres, who hammer left-handed pitching, so it stands to reason that theyll have some bats worth targeting. Youll want to focus on righty swingers, with Wil Myers and Matt Kemp being the most desirable targets.Edwin Jackson has made only two starts this season, and he holds a 2.92 ERA in those two starts. That said, hes also walked more than hes struck out in 23 innings this season and owns a 6.24 xFIP, which hasnt caught up to his 4.30 ERA just yet. Take a look at lefty sluggers Jay Bruce and Joey Votto in this one.The Cardinals lineup has been the best in the NL this season against right-handed pitching (113 wRC+), and that could spell trouble for Jose Urena on Friday. The Dodgers righty owns a 5.28 ERA in 38 career appearances (11 starts) to go along with an ugly 4.7 K/9. There are plenty of Cardinals bats worth considering here regardless of platoon advantage, making this a good time to stack.Most likely to go yard: Chris CarterOriginally this call was made when Jeff Locke was scheduled, but hes since been replaced by Steven Brault. Brault is also a lefty and Miller Park greatly inflates right-handed power. Still sounds like a great time for Carter to muscle up.Most likely to swipe a bag: Mookie BettsIm high on Matz on Friday, but the fact remains that hes allowed 15 stolen bases this season, the third most in baseball. With the Rockies in town, Charlie Blackmon will be off to the races if he reaches first base. ' ' '
