Saturday, June 7


Favorites come through on the diamond Friday

Favorites came through for their backers Friday night in major league action.

Favored teams went 10-5 against the runline on the diamond last night, a success rate of almost 67 percent. Home favorites went 7-3, while away favorites went 3-2.

It should be considered a very good day for favorites bettors with favorites hitting at less than 40 percent against the runline this season.


Under pitchers duel in Tampa Bay

The Tampa Bay Rays and Seattle Mariners are sending some impressive under pitchers to the mound for bettors Saturday.

Seattle will send Roenis Elias to the mound who has steered the Mariners to five unders in his last six road starts. The Rays on the other half will trot Alex Cobb out who is 1-4-1 over/under in his last six starts.

The under is also prevailing in the series as a whole with a 12-38-2 O/U in the last 52 at Tampa Bay.


Torn Achilles puts Santana out for season

Johan Santana's comeback attempt with the Baltimore Orioles ended on Friday when he tore his Achilles tendon, ending his season and perhaps his career.

The injury occurred while he was pitching in an extended spring training game in Florida. Santana was hit by a line drive before getting up and chasing after the ball.

An MRI revealed a torn tendon.

Tigers battle Red Sox

June 7, 2014


Boston (27-34) at Detroit (33-25)

First pitch: Sunday, 8:10 p.m. ET

Sportsbook.ag Line and Total: Tigers -155, Red Sox +145, Total 7.5

Two of the most prolific teams in baseball, the Red Sox and Tigers, finish off their three-game series on Sunday night. Detroit took the first two games of this series, including an 8-6 victory on Saturday to send Boston to its fifth straight defeat.

Boston has been a very streaky team this year and has lost its past three games coming into this series after winning its previous seven. The three defeats came in a sweep at the hands of the Indians, as the club was outscored 15-9. The Sox did go into extra innings in Wednesday’s defeat though, losing by a score of 7-4 after allowing a big three-run shot in the bottom of the 12th inning. SS Xander Bogaerts (.297 BA) has turned it on of late, going 15-for-40 (.375) with five doubles, two homers and nine runs over his past nine games. Detroit is also struggling, losing its past five games, including a sweep by the AL East-leading Blue Jays. Toronto thoroughly dominated the Tigers, outscoring them 20-8 in the three-game set. OF Torii Hunter (.260 BA) really struggled in the series, going hitless in 11 at-bats and has seen his average drop 18 points over the past 10 games.

Toeing the rubber for Boston in this one will be veteran RHP John Lackey (6-4, 3.28 ERA) as he goes head-to-head with Detroit RHP Anibal Sanchez (2-2, 2.15 ERA). Coming into this series, the Red Sox have gone just 12-15 on the road and will go up against a Tigers team that is just 14-14 at Comerica Park. This has been a rather even matchup over the past three seasons with Detroit holding a slight 14-12 edge overall, which includes an impressive 7-3 record in home meetings entering Friday.

John Lackey has continued his resurgence this season by striking out the most batters (8.0 K/9) since 2005. He has also continued with some phenomenal control, walking 1.8 BB/9 this year and allowing only seven homers in 79.2 frames (0.79 HR/9). He has given up a total of just three runs over his past three starts (21.1 IP) with all of the runs coming against the Indians in his last outing on Monday. In that game, he earned a loss while giving up eight hits and two walks while striking out three. Lackey has gone 6-4 in 13 starts against the Tigers in his career with a 4.14 ERA and 1.37 WHIP, while giving up 10 home runs in 87 innings.

Miguel Cabrera (6-for-15, 2 HR, 4 RBI) and 2B Ian Kinsler (16-for-38, 2 doubles, 1 triple, 4 HR, 9 RBI) have enjoyed tremendous success against Lackey while C Alex Avila is just 1-for-9 with three strikeouts in the matchup. Entering Friday, Boston’s relievers have combined to go 9-11 with a 2.81 ERA and 1.24 WHIP while saving 13-of-17 (77%) games. Closer Koji Uehara (0.70 ERA, 11 saves) has pitched out of his mind this year with a 36:4 K/BB ratio in 25.2 innings while going a perfect 11-for-11 in save opportunities through Thursday.

Anibal Sanchez is coming off three consecutive starts where he tossed at least seven innings while allowing two or fewer runs. He earned a no-decision in his last outing against the Blue Jays on Tuesday despite pitching a phenomenal game (7 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K’s) and now has 19 strikeouts to just one walk in these past three starts (22.1 IP). Sanchez has struck out 8.2 batters per nine innings this year and has benefited from batters hitting .229 BABIP against him. He has faced the Red Sox only twice in his career, once as a starter and once out of the bullpen, and is 1-0 with a 7.71 ERA and 1.93 WHIP while allowing three home runs in just 9.1 frames. In limited at-bats against Sanchez, DH David Ortiz is 3-for-4 with two homers and 4 RBI, while backup catcher David Ross may not see the field, as he is just 2-for-11 with three strikeouts in the matchup.

The Tigers’ bullpen has not done well this year at 7-8 with a 4.74 ERA and 1.35 WHIP while going 16-for-22 (73%) in save chances coming into this series. Their relievers have also been much worse when pitching at home with a 6.17 ERA and 1.55 WHIP through Thursday. Closer Joe Nathan (6.86 ERA, 13 saves) is 13-for-17 in his save opportunities this year and has already given up four home runs while walking 11 in just 21 innings of work entering this series

Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

-- Mets sent catching prospect Travis d'Arnaud back to AAA, another dismal failure by an organization that seems clueless at times.

-- Texas made it to the College World Series, 15th time for coach Augie Garrido, who played manager of the Bronx Bombers in For the Love of the Game, Kevin Costner's baseball movie.

-- Tonalist won the Belmont Stakes, 5th time in eight years the Belmont winner was a horse that skipped the Derby/Preakness and was fresh for the Belmont.

-- This week's Memphis Open is Phil Mickelson's 500th PGA Tour event.

-- Kendrys Morales signed with the Twins, who are in last place in AL Central but are still within striking distance.

-- Memo to the kid on Charleston who slid head-first into home plate Saturday at Louisville; its a really bad idea. slide feet-first or not at all. Too easy to get hurt.


**********

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports Saturday.........

13) Its really hard to win horse racing's Triple Crown, a fact California Chrome's owner doesn't seem to grasp. Three races in five weeks isn't what thoroughbred horses do nowadays. Steve Coburn's reaction after the race was human, but he has to know it was going to be a tall task for his horse, who ran a strong race but lost.

12) Will horse racing powers-that-be stretch out the Triple Crown races to make it more manageable for horses to run three strenuous races? They could push back the Belmont to July 4th, and put the Preakness two weeks later than it is, to give a horse more recovery/training time. If TV demands it, it'll happen.

11) Wild night of sports late Saturday night, with the Kings winning Game 2 in double OT at Staples, then four MLB games all ending with the home team scoring in their last AB, with three of the four wins walk-offs.

10) Mets lost their fifth game in row 5-4 in San Francisco, as Giants scored twice in bottom of ninth inning. Mets then sent their catching prospect Travis d'Arnaud back to AAA; wonder if he'll still be in Las Vegas when I get there next month?

9) Angels trailed Chris Sale 5-0 in 8th inning, but scored six runs in bottom of 8th inning to win 6-5; brutal loss for the White Sox. .

8) Andrew Cashner came off the DL and dominated the Nationals for six innings, but they took him out after six innings/70 pitches; by time I took my dirty dishes out to the kitchen, they blew the lead for Cashner, but later won 4-3 in 11 innings. Big win for San Diego, which seemingly has no offense.

7) Speaking of the Padres, are they so talent-rich that they could waste a 28th-round draft pick on Johnny Manziel? Thats what they did Saturday. If I was a San Diego season ticket holder, I'd be asking someone for an explanation on that one.

6) RIP Mrs Joan Haller, who passed away this week; she was one of the nicest people I've ever met; her son was a good friend of mine growing up, and I spent a lot of time in their house. She was always kind and fun to talk with. Rest in peace.

5) Neighborhood I grew up in had 19 boys and four girls in it; we used to play basketball, wiffle ball for hours and had a lot of fun. I am lucky to have grown up in such a cool neighborhood. Matter of fact, I still live here.

4) Dodgers lost Yasiel Puig/Dee Gordon Saturday, both to hip injuries; they're now 9.5 games out of first place with 99 games left. Still say Dusty Baker's phone is going to be ringing soon: "Dusty? Magic Johnson on Line 1"

3) Red Sox might be a little worried about Jon Lester's night in Detroit: 4.1 IP, 12 hits, no strikeouts, five runs, 90 PT, only four misses on 41 swings.

2) Mystery Millionaire is a new reality TV show; these really rich guys lie to prospective girlfriends about their welath, they pick one of the three candidates, then spring the big news to them. Little weird, but an interesting concept.

1) I'm thinking everyone has to be impressed by the lack of controversy with the instant replay system in baseball; its helped a lot. Its only June 8 and the system seems to be settled in and doing well, reversing a surprising amount of calls. Some in the media are still whining about delays in games, but they haven't been that bad.

Sunday's MLB betting cheat sheet: Harang's still got it
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Harang Hurling Unders

Aaron Harang started the season on fire, but has since faded from the spotlight. In his 13 starts this season. Harang has allowed no more than two runs 11 times and has only given up 26 runs. He is carrying a 4-8-1 O/U record and with the Braves' bats going silent as of late a low-scoring affair could be on-tap against the Diamondbacks.

The Jekyll and Hyde tale of Cleveland

The Cleveland Indians are currently treading water in the middle of the American League Central and that has a lot to do with their road record. Despite a 21-11 record at home (second-best in MLB), the Indians have a 9-20 record away from Progressive Field. The Indians have scored five or more runs nine time on the road this season compared to 17 times at home.

Bay Area Bank

Both the San Francisco Giants and the Oakland A's have been beating up on their respective divisions and cashing for bettors. The Giants have won eight of 10 and are the best money team in baseball by a wide margin at $1937, while the A's have won seven of 10 and are the fourth best money team at $870. The Giants (-148) host the Mets and the A's (-145) visit the Orioles.

Pitching Notes

* The Oakland Athletics will send Scott Kazmir to the mound with a smile on their face. The A's are 10-2 in Kazmir's 12 starts this season. Kazmir let's runners get on base, allowing at least five hits in eight of his stars, but has the seventh-best WHIP in the MLB (.99) giving bettors a 4-8 O/U.

* Right-hander Hiroki Kuroda has been flat outside of Yankee Stadium. Kuroda's last 11 starts on the road have seen him give up at least seven hits nine times. Needless to say the Yankees have been far from spectacular in those starts holding a 2-9 S.U. and 6-4-1 O/U.

Hitting Notes

* SS Jordy Mercer has been quietly performing solidly for the Pittsburgh Pirates. In Mercer's last six starts he has recorded multiple hits five times and has six RBI. That span has also seen the Pirates go 5-1 S.U. and 3-3 O/U.

* Though a career revitalization has been talked about, Justin Morneau is started to look like a flustered batter we've seen over the past few seasons. Morneau has only four hits in his past nine games for the Rockies, but has five strikeouts. If the slumping Rockies (0-9 S.U.) can be expected to turn it around, so to will Morneau.

Totals Streak

Tampa Bay Rays (2-7 O/U): The mediocre at-best Rays offense and a sudden surge in pitching has created low-scoring games. In the past nine contests, the Rays have scored a measly 20 runs while dropping eight of their last nine.

Injury Notes

* Cincinnati Reds' Joey Votto is set to make his first rehab start for the Louisville Bats Sunday. Votto has not been himself and if the season ended today, he would have career lows in both batting average and slugging percentage. Votto has been on the DL since May 16 with a strain quad.

* Yasiel Puig left Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies with an undisclosed injury. The Los Angeles Dodgers have him officially listed as questionable for Sunday's series finale.

Weather Watch

High winds are expected in Chicago which could greatly affect the Marlins-Cubs game. No precipitation is expected, but their is a projected wind of 17 miles per hour blowing in-towards home plate from left field.

Umpire of the Day

Alan Porter will calling balls and strikes when the New York Mets take on the San Francisco Giants at AT&T Park. The last eight games with Porter behind home plate have seen a perfect 0-8 O/U record.

Red Sox at Tigers: What bettors need to know
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boston Red Sox at Detroit Tigers (-150, 7.5)

The Boston Red Sox can’t stop streaking. The Red Sox lost 10, won seven and will try to end their latest skid at five and avoid a sweep when they visit the Detroit Tigers for the finale of a three-game series on Sunday. The Tigers came into the set in a rough patch but are taking advantage of Boston’s starting pitching slump while gaining some small revenge against the Red Sox after falling to them in the American League Championship Series last fall.

Detroit took three straight at Fenway Park last month and dominated the first two games of this series, including knocking Boston ace Jon Lester around for five runs and 12 hits in 4 1/3 innings in Saturday’s 8-6 triumph. That sweep by the Tigers from May 16-18 marked the first of seven straight series that would end in sweeps for the Red Sox (three on the positive side), a string they will try to snap on Sunday. Boston came alive in the late innings on Saturday and received strong production from the top of the order in a 15-hit performance.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, ESPN

PITCHING MATCHUP: Red Sox RH John Lackey (6-4, 3.28 ERA) vs. Tigers RH Anibal Sanchez (2-2, 2.15)

Lackey suffered a complete-game loss at Cleveland on Monday, surrendering three runs on eight hits and coming out on the wrong end of a 3-0 final. The veteran had combined for 13 1/3 scoreless innings over his previous two starts and has issued a total of three walks in his last three turns. Lackey had a string of four straight quality starts come to an end against Detroit on May 17, when he was reached for six runs – five earned – and nine hits in 5 1/3 frames.

Sanchez has yet to allow more than three earned runs in an outing and went seven scoreless frames while yielding two hits and striking out five against Toronto on Tuesday. The 30-year-old is 2-0 with a 1.32 ERA in his last four starts, a run that began with a solid turn at Boston. Sanchez earned a win on May 18 while holding the Red Sox to two runs – one earned – and five hits in five innings.

TRENDS:

* Road team is 5-0 in Hamaris last five games behind home plate.
* Red Sox are 0-5 in the last five meetings.
* Tigers are 2-6 in Sanchez's last eight home starts.
* Under is 9-1 in Lackey's last 10 starts as an underdog.

WALK-OFFS:

1. Red Sox RHP Clay Buchholz (knee) had a scheduled simulated game pushed back from Saturday to Sunday due to field availability.

2. Tigers C Alex Avila, who was hit on the backswing by David Ortiz in Friday’s series opener, was held out of Saturday’s lineup as a precaution. He is considered day-to-day.

3. Boston 1B Mike Napoli (finger, calf) is expected to be activated from the 15-day disabled list on Sunday.

Sunday weather update: Thunderstorms at PNC Park

Thunderstorms are on the way to Pittsburgh which could put Sunday's game between the Pirates and Milwaukee Brewers in jeopardy.

There is currently a 90 percent chance of precipitation in the forecast for the NL Central matchup, escalating to 100 percent as the game progresses.

Yovani Gallardo gets the ball for the division-leading Brewers facing off against Jeff Locke of the Pirates.


Rockies mystified by Kershaw and the Dodgers

The Colorado Rockies may have the top offense in the MLB, but they have not been able to solve Clayton Kershaw. In Kershaw's last six starts against Colorado, the Rockies have come away with one win.

Kershaw has held the the Rockies scoreless in three of those games and has strukout at least eight batters four times. Those six starts have seen the Rockies average a terrible 1.8 runs per game.


Harang paying out for totals bettors

Not too many people expected the resurgence we've seen from Aaron Harang this season and though the hype has died down, he is still a solid play for bettors.

Harang has 13 starts so far this season for the Atlanta Braves. In those 13 starts, Harang has a 4-8-1 over/under record. Only twice all season long has Harang had more than two runs notched against him and has only allowed 26 runs in his 13 starts.

The Braves will finish their weekend series against the Arizona Diamondbacks Sunday.


Wheeler underwhelming for Mets as dogs

The New York Mets have not had a lot to be excited about this season and that's not likely to change with Zach Wheeler on the mound. The Mets are a lowly 2-8 in Wheeler's last 10 starts as the underdog.

Wheeler has a 2-5 record with a 3.89 ERA this season.

Strong pitcher's wind at Wrigley signals under

Gusts of up to 19 mph are expected for Sunday's meeting between the Chicago Cubs and Miami Marlins at Wrigley Field. The wind will be blowing in from left field which, according to recent trends, greatly favors the men on the mound.

There has been an average of 2.16 home runs per game this season at Wrigley, but with the wind blustering towards home plate from left that average drops significantly to 0.88.

Henderson Alvarez gets the call for the Marlins while Jake Arrieta counters for the Cubbies.
