OAKLAND, Calif. - The Oakland Athletics have designated left-hander Brad Mills for assignment to clear a roster spot for recently acquired pitcher Jason Hammel. The As also announced Monday that they have claimed outfielder Kenny Wilson off waivers from Toronto and optioned him to Triple-A Sacramento. In addition, Oakland outrighted outfielder Nick Buss to Sacramento and traded International Slot No. 57, worth $339,000, to Milwaukee for minor league pitcher Rodolfo Fernandez. Mills went 1-1 with a 4.41 ERA in three starts for Oakland this season. But with Hammel scheduled to pitch Wednesday at San Francisco, the As needed to clear space on the roster. The As got Hammel and right-hander Jeff Samardzija from the Cubs on Friday in a trade that sent three prospects to Chicago.

Utah lost its last game to Washington State. However, the Utes have a great chance to upset the Bruins. Utahs one-point loss to the Cougars was a game the Utes led 24-7 with just over six minutes left in the third quarter. Did they rest on their large lead or did Washington State stifle them over the final 30 minutes? According to head coach Kyle Whittingham, the answer falls squarely with the latter as he gave all the credit to the Cougars. One thing is for certain - the Utes might have taken Washington State lightly coming into the game off their huge road win at Michigan. They even built a 21-0 lead. Nevertheless, two of their first three touchdowns came via the defense and special teams, and the offense scored just one TD coming on a 76- yard scamper by Devontae Booker. Despite taking on the likes of Washington State, Michigan and Fresno State, Utah has allowed more than seven points in a quarter just twice this season. The defense is playing better than it did at the end of last year and the offense is clicking to the tune of 42 points per game. UCLA is in a tough spot this week off its huge 35-point win over the Sun Devils and with Oregon coming to the Rose Bowl on Oct. 11 in what could be a preview of the Pac-12 Championship Game. As a side note, the Bruins are 0-4 both straight-up and against the spread the last four games prior to facing the Ducks. Jim Moras squad struggled with its opposition the first three contests, winning by no more than eight points in a single game. It certainly is not a stretch to say Utah is a better club than Virginia, Memphis and Texas. Most folks look at the UCLA-Arizona State game and come away impressed with the Bruins. However, there is more to that contest than meets the eye. First, the Sun Devils were without quarterback Taylor Kelly. Second, the backup QB led Arizona State to 38 first downs and 626 total yards against what many consider a solid Bruins defense. Third, UCLA was a plus-4 in the turnover department. Given all that, the Bruins led by just 10 points at halftime only because Ishmael Adams returned an interception 95 yards for a touchdown inside the final seconds. Arizona States defense, ranked 90th nationally in allowing 30.8 points per game, is a shell of its former self, so the fact UCLA put up 62 points is not a crucial element when analyzing the game against Utah. The Utes, particularly quarterback Travis Wilson, have been waiting for this matchup for a full year as they would love nothing more than to defeat the Bruins for the first time since winning 31-6 in 2011. Travis Wilson made his first career start at the Rose Bowl two years ago and his lone interception (on Utahs initial drive) set up UCLAs first touchdown. That was the difference in thhe Bruins seven-point victory even though Utah covered the 9.dddddddddddd5-point spread. Last years game was even worse for Wilson as UCLA intercepted him six times, Still, the Utes lost by only seven points once again. This time, they failed to cover the 6.5-point spread. Look for Utah to reverse those two results and come out on the winning side in this years renewal. Take Utah plus 13.5 points in the first of two three-star selections. The other top play this week involves Notre Dame and Stanford. Notre Dame has scored 30 points or more in each of its first four games. However, only one of its four opponents ranks in the top 50 in scoring defense and that team is Michigan at 47th. On Saturday, the Fighting Irish take on the No. 1-ranked defense in the country in Stanford. Not only do the Cardinal top the scoring defense list, but they also are atop the rankings in total defense, allowing only 198 yards per game. Dont expect the Irish to score anywhere near the 35 points they are averaging this season. Furthermore, it is doubtful they will even match the 20 points they scored against Stanford in last years matchup. Along those lines, Stanford will not come close to the 27 points it picked up in that game as this years Cardinal offense is not nearly as powerful as the 2013 version. This game should be played similar to the 2012 matchup when both squads were on top of their games defensively. Notre Dame won that contest, 20-13, in overtime, a defensive battle in which just one offensive touchdown was scored in regulation. Take under 44 points. TWO-STAR SELECTIONS Take Arizona +23.5 (Oregon), North Carolina +2 (Virginia Tech), Ole Miss +7 (Alabama), Texas +15 (Baylor), Cincinnati -4 (Memphis) and Western Ky -9 (UAB). ONE-STAR PLAYS Take Iowa State +17 (Oklahoma State), Northwestern +8 (Wisconsin), New Mexico +17 (UTSA), Rutgers -2.5 (Michigan), ULM +11 (Arkansas State) and Nevada +3.5 (Boise State). THIS YEARS RECORD My overall record stands at 49-33 after an 8-4 mark in Week 5. The headline game won as well as the other top play, so the five-star plays are 4-3. The three-star selections stand at 7-1 after Air Force won outright over Boise State. The two-star choices went 1-1 for a five-week total of 16-16. The one- star plays went 4-3 for a 22-13 mark.
