[CNOTES]

MLB


Friday, September 4




Pitcher change announced - Carlos Martinez, St. Louis


St. Louis vs. Pittsburgh on September 4 at 8:15 PM. Previous Starter: Lance Lynn.




Tigers activate Lobstein for Friday start


Left-hander Kyle Lobstein was reinstated off the 60-day disabled list Thursday, and he will start Friday for the Detroit Tigers against the Cleveland Indians.


Lobstein went 3-5 with a 4.34 ERA in eight starts before landing on the disabled list May 24 with left shoulder soreness. He lost his final three starts before acknowledging he was pitching through shoulder discomfort.


An MRI detected no structural damage.


"He pitched pretty well for us last year," Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. "He was injured this year. We'll see what he can do."


Lobstein went 1-2 with a 4.34 ERA in seven games, including six starts, last season.


He was a combined 0-3 with a 5.68 ERA in six rehab starts with Class A Lakeland and Triple-A Toledo. In a Sunday start with Toledo, he allowed four runs and struck out five in 6 2/3 innings.


Ausmus said Lobstein's fastball topped out at 88 mph in his rehab.




Roark, not Strasburg, will start Friday for Nationals


Tanner Roark will be limited to about 85 pitches when he starts for the Washington Nationals on Friday against the Atlanta Braves, according to manager Matt Williams.


"Depending on (the amount) of stressful innings," said Williams, whose team is fighting for its post-season lives while trying to catch the first-place New York Mets.


Washington pulled to within six games of the idle Mets with a 15-1 laugher over the Braves on Thursday in the first of a four-game set.


Roark, 28, was 15-10 with an ERA of 2.85 in 31 starts last year for the Nationals. But when Washington signed free agent Max Scherzer to a seven-year deal in January, Roark was bumped to the bullpen. The Nationals began the season with a starting rotation of Scherzer, Jordan Zimmermann, Stephen Strasburg, Doug Fister and Gio Gonzalez.




Over bets on fire heading into Friday's schedule


Over wagers continued to stay hot, going 6-0 on the diamond Thursday to head into Friday's slate of games with a record of 18-3 over the past two days.


Four clubs - the Washington Nationals, Kansas City Royals, Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres - basically took care of the Over on their own, plating 15, 15, 11 and 10 runs respectively in their ball games.


Overs have the slightest of edges season to date, improving to 964-924 (51.06 percent). Over the past seven days, the O/U count is 51-37 (57.95 percent).




Division foes are sinking Pirates' title hopes


Few enjoy their time in Wisconsin's largest city less than the Pittsburgh Pirates.


Since the 2007 season, the Pirates are 17-61 in Milwaukee. They fell to 2-7 at Miller Park in 2015 after dropping a 5-3 decision to the Brewers on Thursday, but manager Clint Hurdle wasn't about to dwell on his squad's misfortune in the Brew City.


"We're ready to move on," Hurdle said.


While holding a comfortable lead in the National League wild-card race, the Pirates now trail the NL Central-leading St. Louis Cardinals by seven games -- exactly the number of games they dropped in nine meetings at Milwaukee this season.


It is not just the Brewers who have Pittsburgh's number. After Thursday, the Pirates are 21-32 against division opponents this season. Even the lowly Brewers are better within the NL Central at 24-29.

 

[CNOTES]

LEADING OFF: Stanton could return, Martinez well rested


September 4, 2015


A look at what's happening all around the major leagues today:


STANTON WATCH


Miami slugger Giancarlo Stanton had been hoping to play when the New York Mets came to town. He's been out since June 26 because of a broken left hand, and said it didn't feel totally OK after a couple minor league at-bats this week. Might come down to a game-time decision at Marlins Park.


FEELING BETTER


Royals reliever Kelvin Herrera and outfielder Alex Rios might be able to work out early at Kauffman Stadium after recently being diagnosed with chickenpox. If they do come to the ballpark, they'll leave before the rest of the team arrives to play the White Sox.


WELL RESTED


Carlos Martinez will be pitching on two extra days of rest when he starts for St. Louis at home vs. the Pirates. The NL Central-leading Cardinals hold a comfortable lead over second-place Pittsburgh and altered their rotation to give Martinez (13-6, 2.91 ERA) a break.


HOPING TO HEAL


Rookie Miguel Sano could return to the starting lineup when the contending Twins visit Houston to begin a nine-game road trip. He didn't start Thursday because of a hamstring problem.


PLENTY OF SUPPORT


The AL East-leading Blue Jays send Drew Hutchison to the mound at Rogers Centre to face Baltimore. He is 13-2 despite a 4.87 ERA - it helps that he pitches for the highest-scoring team in the majors.

Preview: Fever (18-12) at Lynx (20-10)


Date: September 04, 2015 8:00 PM EDT

The Minnesota Lynx picked up a key victory in their pursuit of another first-place finish in the Western Conference. They might not have two starters for the rest of the regular season, however.


Lindsay Whalen will likely join Seimone Augustus on the sidelines beginning with Friday night's home game against the Indiana Fever.


Minnesota (20-10) is 2 1/2 games ahead of Phoenix and three up in the loss column after a 71-61 victory over the Mercury on Sunday. Maya Moore scored 28 points in the opener of a season-high four-game homestand to help the Lynx overcome Whalen's absence in the second half.


Whalen was forced to leave in the second quarter because of nagging bursitis in her right heel and a sore Achilles tendon. Coach Cheryl Reeve said Tuesday that she was "hopeful" that the point guard and Augustus, out since Aug. 19 because of a left foot injury, could return for the playoffs.


The Lynx clinched home-court advantage for the opening round with Sunday's victory and are seeking their fourth No. 1 seed in the conference playoffs in five years.


"We're not going to feel sorry that Lindsay or Seimone won't be out there with them. The mindset is just like it was against Phoenix. They're out so we have to step up," Reeve said. "They're all good enough to do so as we saw during that Phoenix game.


"The mindset is we're going to win four games. We're working to get ready for the game on Friday and win our home game."


Renee Montgomery, acquired from Seattle on July 20, and Anna Cruz will likely have greater roles for the short term. Montgomery had 15 points Sunday, her most since scoring 19 in her season debut June 6.


"When you get minutes, you want to try and make the most of them and that was my mindset the whole time," Montgomery told the team's official website. "I feel like this is the time where I need to step up, my team needs me."


Whalen had a team-best 17 points in the first matchup with Indiana, a 78-69 road victory June 6 in the second game of the season for both teams. The Fever (18-12) played without Tamika Catchings due to a knee injury.


Catchings got a little rest Tuesday with Indiana blowing out Connecticut 81-51 to clinch a league-record 11th consecutive playoff berth. She scored a team-high 13 points in 21 minutes after topping 20 in the final two games of the Fever's three-game losing streak.


"We're not done yet," Catchings said. "We've got four more games so we have to really ride that wave and propel ourselves into the playoffs."


Minnesota has won the last five matchups in the series.

Sun-Stars Preview


The league-worst San Antonio Stars are mired in a seven-game slide with the season winding down, though they have some extra incentive this weekend.


The retiring Sophia Young-Malcolm will play her final home games in a back-to-back set that begins Friday night against the short-handed Connecticut Sun, who are also eliminated from playoff contention.


This is the first home game for Young-Malcolm since she announced last Wednesday that this will be her final campaign. She spent her entire 10-year career with the Stars, and will play her last home game Saturday against Phoenix.


The four-time all-WNBA selection is the franchise's leader in scoring with 4,266 points and one of 24 in league history with over 4,000 points. She helped lead San Antonio (7-23) to its lone WNBA finals appearance in 2008.


Young-Malcolm will be looking to fare better this weekend than in her previous three home games in which she totaled 14 points on 6-of-22 shooting - all losses for the Stars. Her field-goal percentage of 47.9 leads the club.


San Antonio will seek to stop its longest losing streak since dropping a franchise record-tying nine straight from Aug. 2-26, 2005.


The Stars haven't played since Sunday's 60-52 defeat at Los Angeles in which Jia Perkins scored 15 points and Young-Malcolm added 11.


They'll be eager to avenge an 82-51 loss at Connecticut (13-18) on Aug. 4 for its most lopsided defeat in the 25-game history of the series with the Sun. Kelsey Bone had 17 points, 10 rebounds and six assists for Connecticut, which held a 41-25 rebounding edge.


Bone is tied for the team lead with Alex Bentley with a 14.7 scoring average. Bentley, who scored 10 points in the first meeting, has missed the last six games with an ankle injury and fellow starter Alyssa Thomas has missed the last nine with a shoulder injury.


The Sun fell to 1-8 in this stretch without Thomas with Tuesday's 81-51 loss at Indiana. Bone scored 17 points.

Total Notes - Week 1


September 4, 2015




Welcome back to another college football season!


The goal of this weekly piece is to inform and hopefully help you with your college football total selections throughout the year.


Keep in mind that it's become harder to win as the sportsbooks and players have all become sharper and the sharing of information has led to a "one source" pool that forces solid handicappers to become excellent market analyzers and originators in order to win.


Books constantly adjust, so bettors must too.


With that said, adjusting too quickly can be a very slippery slope. I spend a lot of hours preparing for the football season to begin, so I feel that my off-season numbers are well formed and educated. However, adjustments must always be made, especially in the totals arena, but in the first several weeks it will take a larger discrepancy for me to start altering my vision of a team, coach, or offensive unit.


Similar to last season’s Total Notes that I assisted with CD, I’m going to follow the same approach and dummy it down a bit for newbies to the college football total market.


A lot of novice bettors often get confused by line moves or what many in the industry call “steam” which isn’t always correct.


How should we react to big moves?


Personally, I think it depends on the type of line movement and the time of the year.


I'm much more leery of significant moves on totals early in the season for a variety of reasons. Early movements, early in the season are generally the work of syndicates and well prepared totals players.


These moves are generally sharp and not the work of the betting public, so taking notice of them or getting ahead of them is necessary to win.


I classify these early total movements into four categories.


1) Correct sharp movement


2) Incorrect sharp movement


3) Public movement

4) Market manipulation


As a generalization I respect line moves early in the season and will look to get ahead of them or follow.


Later in the year, we have more data to work with and the totals have much less variance, so I'm more apt to fade a total at its peak and gain the value in the extra numbers.


Chasing steam on totals can work but as the season progresses it loses some of its value. This past Thursday, some of the early moves came in but we also saw clear-cut losers too.


The only adjustment I liked was the Ohio-Idaho OVER, which went from 55 to 59 before closing 58 at most shops. The Bobcats captured a 45-28 win, and late bettors will tell you that they needed late scores to beat the closing number. If you got on board early, the “sweat game” wasn’t necessary.


Going forward, pick your spots!


Based on my breakdown above, I’ve categorized the below four games for Week 1 and added some insight to help you understand my approach.


1) Correct sharp movement - BYU/Nebraska UNDER


This number opened as high as 67 ½ offshore and 66 in Vegas. It’s down to 60. Make a note of the injuries and suspensions to both squads.


2) Incorrect sharp movement - Penn State/Temple OVER


Books sent out 38 ½ two weeks ago, which held steady until this Wednesday. The number is up to 44 and I’d be surprised to see the winner getting more than 21. For those bettors into historical numbers, the last seven matchups from 2007 haven’t seen a combined score of more than 43.


3) Public movement - Arizona State/Texas A&M OVER


Both schools would like to play fast and have the talent to light up the scoreboard. Nationally televised game should only make the number climb. As of Friday it’s at 70, up from 66.


4) Market manipulation - Old Dominion/Eastern Michigan UNDER


The total has been clipped from 66 to 63. ODU notched a 17-3 win in this game last season and the total (69) was never threatened. EMU’s defense (41 PPG) was embarrassing last year and ODU’s unit (38 PPG) wasn’t better. Expect this number to close by the opener come Saturday.


Aloha!

Friday's Tip Sheet


September 1, 2015




**Michigan State at Western Michigan**


-- Michigan State finished 2014 with an 11-2 straight-up record and a 9-4 against-the-spread mark. Since 2011, Mark Dantonio's team has hooked up its gambling supporters at a 34-20 ATS clip. The Spartans capped last year with a 42-41 comeback win over Baylor at the Cotton Bowl. They won outright as 2.5-point underdogs after rallying from a 41-21 deficit.


-- Michigan State returns seven starters on offense and six on defense. The latter unit lost a key starter to a season-ending injury a few weeks ago when Ed Davis went down. He had 58 tackles and seven sacks last season.


-- Dantonio lost workhorse running back Jeremy Langford and his top two wide receivers, but the offense still has its leader in QB Connor Cook. The senior signal caller threw for 3,214 yards with a 24/8 touchdown-to-interception ratio in 2014. Cook has a 47/15 TD-INT ratio for his career. Langford is gone after rushing for 1,522 yards and 22 TDs. Also, Cook's favorite target Tony Lippett has departed following a season in which he hauled in 65 receptions for 1,198 yards and 11 TDs.


-- Michigan State owns an incredible 17-4-1 spread record in 22 games as a road favorite on Dantonio's watch.


-- Western Michigan improved from 1-11 in P.J. Fleck's first season ('13) to go 8-5 SU and 10-3 ATS last year. The Broncos bring back nine starters on offense and seven on defense. They saw their six-game winning streak snapped in the regular-season finale, a 31-21 home loss to No. Illinois, and then dropped a 38-24 decision to Air Force as two-point 'chalk' at the Idaho Potato Bowl.


-- Western Michigan returns nearly all of its skill players, including true sophomore RB Jarvion Franklin, who came out of nowhere to rush for 1,551 yards and 24 TDs while averaging 5.1 yards per carry. He also had 14 catches for 163 yards and one TD. Franklin garnered MAC Offensive Player of the Year honors, was on the first-team All-MAC squad and was also the MAC Freshman of the Year.


-- As a third-year sophomore in 2014, Zach Terrell completed 67.9 percent of his passes for 3,443 yards with a 26/10 TD-INT ratio. Terrell has two of the MAC's top wideouts in juniors Corey Davis and Daniel Braverman. Davis had 78 receptions for 1,408 yards and 15 TDs last year, while Braverman finished the season with 86 catches for 997 yards and six TDs.


-- Western Michigan played a pair of Power Five opponents last year, losing 43-34 at Purdue as an 8.5-point underdog in the season opener. The Broncos also lost at Virginia Tech, but they took the cash in a 35-17 loss as 21-point 'dogs.


-- Western Michigan opened the season at Michigan State two seasons ago, losing 26-13 in East Lansing. However, Fleck's team covered the number as a 28-point underdog.


-- As of Tuesday, most books had Michigan State listed as an 18-point favorite with a total of 58. The Broncos were +650 on the money line (risk $100 to win $650).


-- Kickoff on Friday night is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. Eastern on ESPNU.


**Baylor at Southern Methodist**


-- Baylor smashed SMU by a 45-7 count as a 34.5-point home favorite in last season's opener. The Bears defense limited the Mustangs to just 67 yards of total offense. Baylor has won 11 in a row over SMU and has taken the cash in the last 10 head-to-head meetings.


--Art Briles' squad returns nine starters on offense and nine starters on defense. Baylor finished last year with an 11-2 SU record and a 7-5-1 ATS ledger. The Bears 41-27 at West Va. and then lost to Michigan State in heartbreaking fashion in the postseason.


-- With Bryce Petty gone to the NFL, junior QB Seth Russell is poised to take over under center. The fourth-year junior had eight TD passes compared to only one interception last season. Russell will have weapons galore around him, including one of the nation's best set of wide receivers. Corey Coleman had 64 receptions for 1,119 yards and 11 TDs in 2014, while K.D. Cannon hauled in 58 catches for 1,030 yards and eight TDs. RB Shock Linwood also returns following a season in which he ran for 1,252 yards and 15 scores.


-- Baylor has posted a 5-7-1 spread record in 13 games as a road 'chalk' during Briles's tenure.


-- The Baylor defense will be led by senior DE Shawn Oakman, who had 51 tackles, 11 sacks and nine QB hurries in 2014. This unit allowed 25.5 points per game last year.


-- As of Tuesday, most spots had Baylor favored by 36 with a total of 74.5 points.


-- SMU was outscored by a combined score of 159-6 in three games against Power Five schools (at Baylor, vs. Texas A&M and vs. TCU) in 2014. The Mustangs saw June Jones resign after a 43-6 loss at North Texas in Week 2. They would lose their first 11 games before winning 27-20 at UConn as 14-point underdogs in the regular-season finale.


-- SMU went out and hired highly-regarded Clemson offensive coordinator Chad Morris as its next head coach. Morris, who spent 16 years as a high school coach in Texas before getting the Clemson gig, inherits a team which finished 1-11 SU and 4-8 ATS last season. The Mustangs bring back nine starters on offense and seven on defense.


-- Morris will give junior Matt Davis the starting nod at QB. Davis started the last five games last year, finishing the campaign with 855 passing yards and a 3/5 TD-INT ratio. Davis rushed for a team-best 613 yards and four TDs while averaging 5.7 YPC.


-- From 2009-2013, SMU compiled an 8-2 spread record in 10 games as a home underdog. However, the Mustangs limped to a 1-5 ATS mark in six such spots last season.


-- ESPN will have the telecast at 7:00 p.m. Eastern.


**Washington at Boise State**

-- Chris Petersen enjoyed a dynastic eight-year tenure at Boise State from 2006-2013, turning down a plethora of big-name jobs while compiling a 92-13 record with seven double-digit win seasons and five years with 12 wins or more. However, when the University of Washington came calling, Petersen finally decided to make the move to a Power Five school. Now he returns to the smurf turf to take on his former team Friday night at 10:15 p.m. Eastern on ESPN.


-- As of Tuesday, most books had Boise State installed as an 11.5-point home favorite with a total of 57. The Huskies were available on the money line for a +350 payout (risk $100 to win $350).


-- Boise State went 12-2 straight up and 8-6 against the spread in 2014. The Broncos bring back nine starters on offense and eight on defense. They have named true sophomore Ryan Finley as the starting quarterback. Finley served as the departed Grant Hedrick's back-up last year, completing 12-of-27 throws for 161 yards and two TDs with one interception.


-- BSU has to replace workhorse RB Jay Ajayi, who was drafted by the Miami Dolphins after rushing for 1,823 yards and 28 TDs last season.


-- Since 2006, the first year of Petersen's tenure, Boise State has won 55 of 57 home games with the two losses coming by three combined points. This is the first time since 2009 -- when the Broncos smashed Oregon and LeGarrette Blount to begin Chip Kelly's reign -- that they've played a season opener at home.


-- The BSU defense is led by LBs Tanner Vallejo and Kamalei Correa. Vallejo had a team-high 100 tackles in 2014, while Correa had 59 tackles and 12 sacks.


-- Washington finished a disappointing 8-6 SU in Petersen's first season, going 7-7 versus the number. The Huskies lost a 30-22 decision to Oklahoma State six-point 'chalk' at the Cactus Bowl. They return five starters on offense and four on defense.


-- Petersen told the media Monday that he's decided on a new starting QB but won't reveal the news before Friday's kick. The three candidates are junior Jeff Lindquist, redshirt freshman K.J. Carta-Samuels and true freshman Jake Browning. Lindquist started one game last season, finishing the year with only 10 completions in 30 attempts for 162 yards and one TD without an interception. Cyler Miles was the starter last year and had a 17/4 TD-INT ratio and four rushing scores in 2014. However, a lingering hip injury forced Miles into retirement over the summer.


-- Petersen had this say about the homefield advantage BSU will enjoy: “It’s a great place to play. Unbelievable home-field advantage. The size of the stadium has nothing to do with it. Those are very passionate fans and a really good place to play a college football game. Noise is a factor. Tough place to play.”


-- Washington returns its top four pass catchers and top two leading rushers, including Dwayne Washington, who had 697 rushing yards and nine TDs with a 5.3 YPC average. Senior WR Jaydon Mickens had 60 catches for 617 yards and four TDs last year.


-- BSU posted a 4-3 spread record as a home favorite last season, while UW went 2-1 ATS as a road underdog.

Wittek leads Hawaii over Colorado, 28-20


September 4, 2015


HONOLULU (AP) Max Wittek delivered in his debut for Hawaii.


The senior quarterback, who sat out last season because of NCAA regulations after transferring from USC, threw three touchdown passes in a 28-20 win over Colorado at Aloha Stadium in the season opener for both teams.


''These players worked so hard in fall camp,'' fourth-year Hawaii coach Norm Chow said. ''The coaches did a great job preparing the team on both offense and defense and it was really a combination of a lot of things that contributed to today. This was a very good football team we played and I'm very proud of our players and coaches.''


Wittek completed 19 of his 38 passes for 202 yards for the Rainbow Warriors (1-0). The 6-foot-4, 240-pound senior also overcame a pair of first-half interceptions.


''I just told him to stick with it when things weren't going well,'' Chow said of Wittek. ''You see he's got a terrific arm and I just told him to just take what they could give us. He wanted to make a big play, but it was his leadership and skills that kept us in it.''


Marcus Kemp caught six passes for 116 yards with a score to lead all receivers. Quinton Pedroza and Isaiah Bernard also hauled in touchdown passes.


Michael Adkins II rushed for a game-high 90 yards and two first-half touchdowns to lead the Buffaloes (0-1). Diego Gonzalez, who made a pair of field goals in the loss, accounted for the rest of the scoring.


Rigoberto Sanchez converted field goals of 27 and 34 yards for Hawaii.


Colorado went three-and-out on its opening drive, but Alex Kinney's punt was blocked by Hawaii's Keelan Ewaliko, who also recovered the ball at the Colorado 16-yard line.


Three plays later, Wittek hit Pedroza for an 11-yard touchdown pass. The same two hooked up on the two-point conversion to give the Rainbow Warriors an early 8-0 lead.


The Buffaloes got on the board at the 9:21 mark of the second quarter on a 5-yard run by Adkins. The play was set-up by an interception by defensive end Derek McCartney, who picked off Wittek near the line of scrimmage and returned it 33 yards to the Hawaii 17. Gonzalez tacked on the extra point to cut the Hawaii lead to 8-7.


Hawaii quickly answered when Wittek hit Kemp on a short completion along the left hash mark. Kemp broke a tackle near the Colorado 40 en route to the 79-yard touchdown play - the team's longest since 2011.


Colorado again pulled within a point at 15-14 on a 3-yard touchdown run by Adkins that capped a nine-play, 57-yard drive with 4:47 left in the half.


Later in the quarter, the Rainbow Warriors capitalized on a turnover when Sanchez kicked a 27-yard field goal on the final play of the half. The drive started at their own 42 after Lance Williams forced a fumble by Christian Powell, which was recovered by Marrell Jackson.


Hawaii held an 18-14 lead at the intermission.


Gonzalez's 40-yard field goal early in the third quarter cut the Hawaii lead to 18-17.


Wittek's third touchdown pass, a 1-yarder to Bernard, came late in the third quarter and Sanchez's 34-yard field goal early in the fourth stretched the Rainbow Warriors' lead back to 28-17.


Colorado again got within a score with 3:48 to play on another Gonzalez field goal and had a chance to tie it on its final possession. The team drove to the Hawaii 8 in the closing seconds, but failed to get off a final play.


Luke Shawley made a game-high 14 tackles and Nick Nelson added 11 stops for the Rainbow Warriors.


Colorado wide receiver Nelson Spruce, a First Team Preseason All-Pac-12 selection, finished with eight receptions for 69 yards. Quarterback Sefo Liufau threw for 158 yards on 23-of-40 passing and rushed for 81 yards on 18 carries. He was intercepted once.


Hawaii avenged a 21-12 double-overtime loss at Colorado last year and now leads the all-time series, which dates back to 1925, 3-2. All three wins have come in Honolulu.


The Buffaloes, who are now 77-44-5 all-time in season openers, have now lost their last nine games. Their last victory was against Hawaii on Sept. 20 of last year. They were picked to sixth (last) in the Preseason Pac-12 Media Poll.


The Rainbow Warriors, who were picked to finish fifth in the West Division in the Preseason Mountain West Media Poll, improved to 59-35-5 all-time in season openers. They have opened the season against a Pac-12 opponent the last six years and are now 30-58 all-time against current members of the Pac-12.


Colorado and Hawaii are the only two FBS teams that are playing 13 consecutive weeks over the 2015 season.
