Cnotes Wednesday's MLB Best Bets !

[CNOTES]

Public opinion: Wednesday's biggest consensus plays

NBA:

Los Angeles Lakers at Oklahoma City Thunder (-7.5, 195.5)

The Lakers said they were tired in Game 1’s blowout loss to the Thunder, and there’s no doubt fatigue played a part in the loss. However, early bettors aren’t sold on Kobe and Co. bouncing back in the second game of the series.

Consensus: Lakers 40 percent/Thunder 60 percent

NHL:

New Jersey Devils at New York Rangers (-130, 4.5)

The New York Rangers’ legs looked heavy through the first two periods of Game 1, just a couple days after they put the Capitals away. The third period was a totally different story as they jumped all over New Jersey and recorded a 3-0 victory.

Consensus: Devils 45 percent/Rangers 55 percent

MLB:

Minnesota Twins at Detroit Tigers (-185, 9.5)

The Tigers put eight runs on the board in the sixth inning Tuesday on their way to a 10-8 win over Chicago and most bettors are looking to go back to the well again Wednesday. The Twins have won just four road games all season.

Consensus: Twins 34 percent/Tigers 66 percent

Wednesday's streaking and slumping starting pitchers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Streaking

Gio Gonzalez, Washington Nationals

Gonzalez has won four of his last five starts and has allowed just five runs in his last six trips to the mound. He limited the Reds to a pair of runs over five innings and struck out a season-high nine batters last week. One caution flag is he’s having a bit of trouble with his control, issuing 10 walks over his last three outings.

Chris Capuano, Los Angeles Dodgers (5-0, 2.06 ERA)

Thanks to a new grip on his breaking ball, veteran lefty Chris Capuano has reinvented himself. The Dodgers hoped he would be able to help the back end of the rotation, but he’s tied for the team lead in wins with Ted Lilly and has allowed only one run over his last three starts. He also has 19 strikeouts over that span.



Slumping

Mike Leake, Cincinnati Reds (0-5, 7.11 ERA)

By all indications, Leake will be on the hill for his scheduled start Wednesday. But if he doesn’t pull himself together, it may be his last start in the rotation. He lasted a career-low three innings last week in a loss to the Nationals and gave up six runs before hitting the showers. Leake has allowed at least five runs in four of his six starts.

Clayton Richard, San Diego Padres (1-5, 5.32 ERA)

Richard dropped his fifth consecutive decision last week at Philadelphia, yielding five runs and a pair of homers in a 7-3 loss. He has allowed at least eight hits in four of his last five starts. The only good news for Padres bettors is that with the wide open spaces of Petco Park, he has been significantly better at home this year.
