EXPERT VERDICT: Motherwell have given themselves a great chance of preserving their Premiership status with a 3-1 first leg win at Ibrox and they should be able to complete the job on their own patch. Their recent home record is good and the Gers have taken a full return from just three of their last nine matches.

Five To Follow MLB Betting: Sunday, May 31, 2015 Opening Line Report
by Alan Matthews

Is this the end of the road for Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz? Big Papi, probably a Hall of Famer (maybe not first ballot), is 39 years old and his contract is up after this season. He is hitting just .216 with six homers and 18 RBIs with a slugging percentage of .377 that some leadoff hitters can beat. In May he’s hitting .200. Red Sox manager John Farrell sat Ortiz on Thursday and said he would for a few more games to get himself mentally right. Recently, Farrell tried dropping Ortiz to No. 5 in the lineup from No. 3 to try and get him going. He may be back in there on Sunday, or Farrell could wait until Monday’s series opener back at home against Minnesota because the Rangers throw a left on Sunday.

Red Sox at Rangers (-117, 9.5)

Boston did get good news in that X-rays on the left wrist of shortstop Xander Bogaerts were negative after he was hit by a pitch there by the Rangers’ Nick Martinez on Thursday. I would think there would be some kind of Wonder Woman-style wrist guard players could wear without hampering their swing but what do I know. This could be the last start for a while for Boston’s Joe Kelly (1-4, 6.24) as there has been talk he might be demoted. He was rocked for seven runs and eight hits in just 1.2 innings last time out vs. the Twins. It’s the fifth time he has allowed at least five runs in a start. He did pitch well on May 20 vs. Texas, allowing two runs over seven innings and whiffing seven. Adrian Beltre is 3-for-6 off him. Shin-Soo Choo is 3-for-9 with a homer. The Rangers have won two straight starts by southpaw Wandy Rodriguez (2-2, 3.60). He held the Sox to a run over 6.2 innings on May 21. Hanley Ramirez hits .370 off him with five extra-base hits in 27 at-bats.

Key trends: The Sox are 6-1 in Kelly’s past seven as an underdog. The “over/under” is has gone over in seven of Boston’s past 10 road games vs. a lefty.

Early lean: Rangers and over.



Marlins at Mets (-122, 7.5)

I always enjoy watching Bartolo Colon pitch because I so love it the rare time the obese Colon gets on base. It’s must-see TV. But he’s one of the worst hitters in MLB history so he doesn’t that often. He will be glad to see May end. Colon (7-3, 4.82) entered the month with a 3.31 ERA. He is 3-2 with a 6.52 ERA this month. Colon is 1-1 with a 3.29 ERA in two starts this season against Miami. Giancarlo Stanton is 5-for-8 with two homers and nine RBIs against him. Adeiny Hechavarria is 3-for-9 with two doubles. Miami has lost three straight David Phelps (2-2, 3.56) starts. He has allowed four earned in each of his past two. Phelps is 0-0 with a 2.53 ERA in two starts vs. the Mets. Daniel Murphy is 3-for-6 with a double and RBI off him.

Key trends: The Marlins are 2-7 in their past nine on Sunday. The Mets are 7-2 in Colon’s past seven as a favorite. The over is 8-0 in Colon’s past eight during Game 3 of a series.

Early lean: Mets and over.



Nationals at Reds (+110, 8)

Cincinnati avoided total disaster this week when an MRI on Johnny Cueto’s pitching elbow found only inflammation and no structural damage — that would have killed the Reds’ chances of getting a big haul back for him via trade in July. After missing his last start, Cueto did throw Wednesday and was supposed to start this one but for obvious reasons the team is being cautious. Thus it’s Michael Lorenzen (1-1, 3.12). It will be his first-ever start vs. Washington. It’s Tanner Roark for Washington. He was banished to the bullpen despite a stellar 2014 season as a starter after the Nats signed Max Scherzer. But with Doug Fister on the DL, Roark started Monday at the Cubs and allowed a run and three hits over five innings. Marlon Byrd is 1-for-7 with five strikeouts off Roark. Joey Votto has yet to face him.

Key trends: The Nats are 6-1 in Roark’s past seven as a road favorite. The Reds have lost seven straight on Sunday. The under is 5-1 in Roark’s past six as a favorite.

Early lean: Nats and under.



Royals at Cubs (-147, TBA)

I guarantee you that Kansas City’s Jeremy Guthrie has a better start Sunday in Chicago than he did Monday in New York when Guthrie (4-3, 6.79) allowed 11 runs and nine hits, four homers, in just one inning of work. Some stats on that from ESPN: The last pitcher to allow 11 runs while throwing fewer than 60 pitches was Jason Jennings of the Astros, who gave up 11 runs on July 29, 2007, while throwing just 39 pitches; Guthrie joined Jennings as the only starters since 1914 to allow at least 11 earned runs in fewer than two innings; the last starter to allow four home runs while pitching fewer than two innings was Jae Kuk Ryu of the Cubs on May 28, 2006. Only a few Cubs have seen him. Miguel Montero is 2-for-6. Dexter Fowler is 0-for-5. It’s Jason Hammel (3-2, 2.98) for Chicago. He was set to go Saturday but pushed back a day because of a fingernail issue. Only in baseball! The Royals’ Alcides Escobar is 5-for-12 with a double off him. Alex Rios, who was set to be activated Saturday off the DL, is 7-for-23 with a homer and seven RBIs.

Key trends: The Royals are 4-1 in their past five as a road dog when Guthrie starts. The Cubs are 1-7 in Hammel’s past eight during Game 3 of a series. The under is 6-0 in his past six during Game 3 of a series.

Early lean: Cubs and under.



Tigers at Angels (+113, 7.5)

This is your Sunday night game on ESPN and thus will have live betting at sportsbooks. No hockey or NBA opposite it, either, so it’s about all you have. Although for some reason there is a later-starting game between the Pirates and Padres. That’s unusual as ESPN generally has the prime-time window to itself. The story of any Tigers-Angels game is watching probably the two best offensive players in MLB in Miguel Cabrera and Mike Trout, the guys who have won the past three AL MVP Awards (Trout was second to Miggy his in 2012-13). The Tigers have won six straight behind lefty David Price (4-1, 2.97). He blanked the A’s on five hits over seven innings last time out. Trout is 2-for-9 with six strikeouts off him. Albert Pujols has two solo homers in 11 at-bats. The Angels’ Matt Shoemaker comes off his best start and it was similar to Price’s in that Shoemaker kept the Padres off the board on four hits over seven innings but he got a no-decision. Cabrera is 0-for-3 against Shoemaker, who went to college not far from Detroit at Eastern Michigan and grew up a Tigers fan.

Key trends: The Tigers are 5-0 in Price’s past five on road. The Angels have won just one of their past 11 on Sunday. The over has hit in seven of Shoemaker’s past 10 as a dog.

Early lean: Tigers and under.

Bankroll 911: How to dig yourself out of a MLB betting hole
By Jason Logan

April showers were supposed to bring May flowers, but for many MLB bettors those rainy days didn’t end.

Surviving the first two months of the baseball season with your bankroll intact can be about as tough a task as getting Cooperstown to acknowledge Alex Rodriguez’s records. If you’re among the many with their baseball bets on life support, we’re dialing 911 before it’s too late.

We asked sharpest MLB handicappers to give some insight, tips and practices on how to revive your baseball bankroll.

Money management

We may be taking you back to sports betting kindergarten here, but plenty of bettors don’t understand proper money management. This practice is extremely important when it comes to baseball. Without it, your wallet will thin up quicker than Keira Knightley on a hunger strike.

The majority of MLB wagers are made on the moneyline, which can be very deceptive when it comes to wins and losses. A 30-12 record may look good at first glance but – depending on the price of those moneylines – could actually be a losing mark. Steve Merrill says ranking your plays and knowing how much to wager is an important part of climbing out of the red.

“Money management is critical and especially in a daily sport like MLB where you have multiple plays every day for six months straight,” Merill says. “The best method is to use a fixed percentage of bankroll for each play.”

Some cappers suggest divvying out 1 percent of your bankroll on MLB plays you like ($100 wager for a $10,000 bankroll) while others look to bet 3 percent and jump to 4 and 5 percent on games they really feel strongly about. If you’re coming out of a terrible April and May, you may want to start smaller and go from there.

“This will enable you to withstand the inevitable statistical swings – both good and bad – that occur during a long and high volume MLB season,” says Merril.

If you’ve been properly managing your bankroll this whole time but still burning through units, drop your bet size down to relieve some of the pressure of the losing skid. Some cappers suggest a decrease of 25 to 30 percent from your regular wager size.

Beware big moneyline favorites

Teams like Detroit, Los Angeles and St. Louis regularly find themselves at the top of the divisional standings but rarely sit among the top money earners for baseball bettors. That’s because you pay a premium to take these teams on the moneyline.

While these elite clubs win more often than not, those victories return cents on the dollar taking a long time to add up. And when those top teams do lose, it does Godzilla-like damage to your bankroll since it costs so much just to bet them.

Avoiding hefty favorites and finding other ways to cash in on these power teams is a good way to breathe life back into your bankroll. Nick Parsons says costly favorites should not be toyed with, instead look to alternative odds – like runlines – to find better value.

“I’d suggest playing favorites on the runline if the (moneyline) price is above -160,” says Parsons. “If you don’t think that team is going to win by more than a run, then it’s probably best to avoid that play all together.”

Doggy Dog world

Underdogs are underdogs for a reason – they’re not expected to win. That doesn’t always instill the greatest confidence in sports bettors. However, finding live underdogs is a perfect way to shoot Red Bull directly into the veins of your bankroll.

Some handicappers strictly wager on underdog teams to avoid getting burned by high-priced favorites. Sean Murphy tends to lean toward plus-money teams, hunting down home pups and short road dogs showing their teeth.

“It’s no surprise that I suggest looking for value in dogs priced north of +130 on a daily basis,” says Murphy. “Consider a couple of underdogs each day, expecting to split at worst, and your bankroll will not only survive but grow over time.”

Tracking totals

If you’ve been betting totals all along or just sick of getting pantsed on the moneyline, the MLB Over/Under is a great way to get out of a funk. And, perhaps more than any other sport, baseball total trends can be any easy way to spot profit. When the betting markets are off on a team’s baseline total number, the value can last for weeks, even months.

And when it comes to the cost of the Over or Under, MLB bettors aren’t paying a premium to play one side of the other, usually dealing with lines no higher than -130 associated with the total.

Pump the breaks and stay patient

Baseball is an everyday sport, however, there’s no rule that says you have to be it every day.

If you’re feeling the sting of a bad beat or extended losing skid – like an Aroldis Chapman beanball – you can always take a day or two off. Like any task or project, sometimes fresh eyes can be the best solution to a problem.

“While no one wants to hear it, laying off can be a fail-safe strategy to not further dwindle one’s bankroll,” says Bryan Power. “I know that if I feel I am struggling to pick winners, taking a day or two off can help. Take some time, look at what’s going on with out making any actual wagers and see if you can come to any new conclusions.”

Keep calm and give it time to turnaround. Don’t expect to follow a 0-fer day with a perfect 4-0 record just because you’ve taken all the steps above. Baseball is a 162-game schedule and as the classic sport betting cliché says, “It’s a marathon, not a race.”

Dover hosts Sprint Cup Series Sunday
by Freddy Wander

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
FedEx 400 benefiting Autism Speaks

Sunday, May 31st – 1:15 p.m. EDT
Dover International Speedway – Dover, DE

The FedEx 400 is the first Sprint Cup race in Dover before the AAA 400 in the fall and first attached its name with the non-profit organization, Autism Speaks, in 2007. The race was first run in 1971 and was originally a 300-mile race for two years before being a 500-mile race and moved to the current format in 1998. Since the change, Jimmie Johnson (2002, 2009, 2012, 2014), Kyle Busch (2008, 2010), Matt Kenseth (2006, 2011) and Tony Stewart (2000, 2013) have each one more than once with Jeff Gordon (1996, 2001) being the only racer to win in both lengths. With Johnson and Gordon’s wins here, Hendrick Motorsports now has eight career victories from their athletes and four more than any other group. The one-mile, oval track will feature 24-degree turns and a concrete surface which typically features speeds in the low to mid 120 MPH range on average for the victor. Let’s take a look at the entrants for the week and find some racers who could take the checkered flag on Sunday.

Kyle Busch (15/1) – In his first race back, the All-Star Race, Busch was solid with a sixth-place finish amongst some of the best in the sport and he followed that up by improving his pole position of 17th to a finish of 11th in Charlotte last week. Busch has always enjoyed running on this track and has two career wins here while posting the third-best driver rating (105.5). In his 20 races, he has four DNF, but in the other 16 has finished in the top-10 13 times and besides his two victories owns another seven top-five showings. Busch will continue to get back into the swing of things and should shortly be competing at his usual elite level.

Martin Truex Jr. (14/1) – Truex Jr. owns a mere two victories in his 345 career races, so his fairly low odds for a victory may seem off, but he does have one of those wins here (2007) and is on pace to have his best Sprint Cup Series finish as he currently sits in 10th in the standings. He has just two double-digit finishes over his 12 starts this year and is running hot as he comes off his best race of the year when he led 131 laps in Charlotte, eventually falling to fifth in the pack. He knows how to navigate this track as evidenced by his two past pole wins and has added another seven top-10s on top of his 2007 win. Truex Jr. has been the best racer this year without a win and although it doesn’t happen often for him, one should be coming very soon.

Jeff Gordon (15/1) – Gordon is by far the most experienced driver in the field this week as his 44 visits to Dover are 12 more than his next closest competitor, Matt Kenseth (32). He has an average finish of 11.4 in that time and has 25 top-10s, 18 top-fives and five victories; with his latest coming last year at the AAA 400. He hasn’t earned a win just yet in his farewell season, but has owned the lead plenty of times and has finished in the top-five at three of his past six races. Gordon may not be at the level he once was, but he has the fourth-fastest green flag speed (144.169 MPH) here in his career and should be able to dot the top of the leaderboard throughout the day.

Greg Biffle (75/1) – This is one of Biffle’s favorite tracks as he is the fifth-best racer here according to driver rating (97.4) and has grabbed a win at both the FedEx 400 (2005) and AAA 400 (2008). He has 517 career quality passes (fourth-most) when at Dover and also ranks top-five in average green flag speed (144.050 MPH) and fastest laps run (435). Biffle is coming off his best stretch of the year in which he has placed in the top-13 at each of the past four races, winning the Sprint Showdown and coming up just short in Charlotte with a runner-up performance. The 45-year-old has 19 career Sprint Cup wins and could surprise many this week in Delaware.

Clint Bowyer (75/1) – Bowyer is another racer who has had tons of success in Dover and in 18 appearances owns 11 top-10 finishes, but has not been able to add to his eight career wins when at this venue. It hasn’t been a great 2015 campaign for the 35-year-old, but his 92.5 driver rating in Dover (eighth-best) should allow him to do better than expected when all is said and done. Look for Bowyer to add to his solid resume at this track and compete for his third top-10 of the year.

Kevin Harvick, Jimmie Johnson favored in FedEx 400
By Justin Hartling

Despite currently trending in different directions, Kevin Harvick and Jimmie Johnson are favored to win the FedEx 400.

Harvick has finished in the top 10 in each of the past five Sprint Cup races, including three second place finishes. Johnson, on the other-hand, has finished 15 and 40 in the past two races while amassing a mere four points in the standings.

MLB roundup: Astros' Keuchel tosses four-hit shutout

HOUSTON -- Dallas Keuchel set a career high in strikeouts and pitched a four-hitter as the Houston Astros blanked the Chicago White Sox 3-0 on Saturday.
Keuchel (7-1), coming off his first loss of the season in Baltimore on Memorial Day, finished with 11 strikeouts while dominating the White Sox. He limited Chicago to just four hits, all singles, retired the side in order in the first, seventh and ninth innings, and utilized timely double plays to stamp out potential uprisings in the fifth and eighth innings.
Excluding a passed ball that enabled Geovany Soto to reach second base in the third, Keuchel did not allow a White Sox runner into scoring position. Keuchel lowered his ERA to 1.76 with his eighth career complete game and second shutout. He threw 113 pitches, 78 for strikes.

Rangers 8, Red Sox 0
ARLINGTON, Texas -- The bottom of the Texas lineup accounted for six RBIs and Alex Gonzalez was victorious in his major league debut.
Gonzalez, who took a no-hitter into the sixth inning, did not give up a run while allowing two hits and issuing five walks over 5 2/3 innings.
Leonys Martin, the No. 7 hitter, was 2-for-4 with two RBIs. No. 8 hitter Robinson Chirinos had a two-run double in a four-run fourth and second baseman Hanser Alberto, the No. 9 hitter, added two RBIs.

Rays 3, Orioles 0
BALTIMORE -- Steven Souza Jr. and Joey Butler each hit early solo home runs, and right-hander Erasmo Ramirez pitched seven shutout innings as Tampa Bay ended a six-game losing streak.
Evan Longoria hit a sacrifice fly in the first before Souza and Butler hit their home runs in the second and third innings, respectively, to give the Rays a quick 3-0 lead.
That was plenty for Ramirez (3-2), who set season-high marks in innings and strikeouts (seven) while allowing only three hits.

Rockies 5, Phillies 2
PHILADELPHIA -- Colorado continued its power surge with three home runs beat beat Philadelphia.
In back-to-back wins, the Rockies have hit six homers, accounting for all but two of their nine runs. Meanwhile, the Phillies can barely hit any, collecting just one home run in their last six games.
Nolan Arenado, Michael McKenry and Ben Paulsen hit solo home runs to help the Rockies win for the sixth time in their last seven games. The Phillies have lost six straight.

Twins 3, Blue Jays 2
MINNEAPOLIS -- Brian Dozier's seventh-inning triple drove in the tie-breaking run and lifted Minnesota over Toronto.
Following a leadoff single by Aaron Hicks, Dozier followed two batters later with a deep drive that barely eluded Jays right fielder Ezequiel Carrera in the right-center gap.
Twins right-hander Ryan Pressly earned the win in relief of starter Kyle Gibson, pitching a 1-2-3 seventh inning before Dozier's heroics.

Royals-Cubs, pdd. rain
CHICAGO -- The game between Chicago and Kansas City at Wrigley Field was postponed due to the forecast of inclement weather throughout the evening.
The game will be made up on Monday, Sept. 28.

Reds 8, Nationals 5
CINCINNATI -- Zack Cozart's double with the bases loaded in the eighth inning drove home the tying and go-ahead runs, lifting Cincinnati over Washington at Great American Ball Park.
Joey Votto hit a two-run homer in the third inning for the Reds, who took the first two games in the weekend series and ended the Nationals' streak of nine straight series victories.
Aroldis Chapman notched his ninth save.

Marlins 9, Mets 5
NEW YORK -- Christian Yelich's two-run, two-out single in the top of the seventh inning snapped a tie and lifted Miami over New York at Citi Field.
Giancarlo Stanton hit two mammoth solo homers for the Marlins, who blew a 5-1 lead in the fourth but won their second straight.
The Mets fell to 17-2 in games in which they score at least five runs.

Diamondbacks 7, Brewers 3
MILWAUKEE -- Paul Goldschmidt hit two home runs and Jeremy Hellickson went six innings as Arizona beat Milwaukee at Miller Park.
Goldschmidt has been a terror to Brewers pitching in his career and came into the game batting .418 with seven doubles, three home runs and 10 RBIs in his last 14 games against Milwaukee.
He's been even more lethal at Miller Park, where in 10 career games, he was batting .476 with four home runs nine doubles, including three Friday night

MLB Future Market - Buy Orders
By Kyle Hunter

MLB World Series Futures Odds - Top Three Values

The Major League Baseball season is almost two months old. It's important to remember that even though we've played for almost two months, we are only a little past the quarter pole for the season. This is a long season. Several of the teams that are the big surprise teams early in the year aren't going to be atop the leaderboard late this year. On the other hand, there are going to be teams get hot and make the playoffs that started slowly.

Because the season is so long, there can be good chances throughout the season to find value in in the MLB futures market. Today, I want to take a look at three teams that I consider a nice value in the current MLB World Series Futures Odds.

This article isn't about listing the top three teams who could win the World Series, rather it is about finding value for teams who are underpriced in the betting market today.

Odds

1) St. Louis Cardinals (9/1)

What do the Cardinals have to do to get some love from the oddsmakers?

St. Louis has the best record in baseball, and yet the offshore outfit has them listed as the fourth favorite to win the World Series. Sure, there are several other teams with a very high upside, but don't overlook this team. The Cardinals are 18-5 at home so far this season. Adam Wainwright's injury definitely hurts the Cardinals, but the lack of a dominant ace is the only thing missing for this team. Their strengths are truly amazing.

The St. Louis lineup looks more like an American League lineup. On some days they are batting Jason Heyward in the number eight spot. Kolton Wong is turning into a star, and Matt Carpenter is as reliable as they come. Matt Holiday's run of 43 straight games reaching base to start the season is nothing short of remarkable. Don't forget about this team's defense either, one of the best units in the National League. Also, the bullpen has been rock solid and closer Trevor Rosenthal has taken it to a whole different level this year. I expect this team will be a really tough out in October.


2) Pittsburgh Pirates (25/1)

The Pittsburgh Pirates started the season cold as ice, but they are red-hot right now. The offense is too good to struggle all year long, and we are finally seeing them break out of their slump lately. Andrew McCutchen wasn't going to hit around .200 all season. Starling Marte is one of the most underrated players in the game today. Josh Harrison wasn't getting on base and causing problems earlier this year, but he's back to doing his job really well lately.

I'm not saying the Pirates are an elite offense, but they aren't a bad one either. Unlike the Cardinals, the Pirates do have an elite pitcher at the top of the rotation. If you don't view Gerrit Cole as one of the best pitchers in the National League then you better start doing so. Cole has filthy stuff and a great drive to succeed. Plus, A.J. Burnett is having a tremendous season as well as the team's number two starter. Burnett was injured last year, and now that his hip is healthy he is dealing. Pittsburgh is second in the majors in team ERA. The Pirates will almost certainly have to do it the hard way as a Wildcard if they get into the playoffs, but that's why we are getting 25/1 on this Central Division club.


3) Cleveland Indians (25/1)

The Cleveland Indians were the single biggest disappointment in the majors through the first month of the season. This is a team I had very high hopes for before the season and the betting market had to lower expectations, but I still think the Indians have a high ceiling.

Their young rotation is tremendous. Corey Kluber is obviously one of the best in the business today. Carlos Carrasco and Danny Salazar have elite stuff too, and Trevor Bauer continues to improve. This might be the best starting rotation in the American League.

Jason Kipnis is hitting at a torrid pace over the last few weeks, and his insertion into the leadoff spot has fueled this offense of late. The Indians biggest weakness so far this year has been their defense. Francisco Lindor should come up and start at shortstop sooner rather than later, and his glove will help this team in a big way.

While I don't see the Pirates having much of any chance catching the Cardinals, far stranger things have happened than the Indians coming back to win the AL Central. The Twins aren't even close to as good as their record would indicate, and the Tigers have a lot of holes. Kansas City will be the toughest competition, but their starting rotation isn't that good. There's plenty of time for the Indians to right the ship, and I think 25/1 is a great price for a team that has a great manager, Terry Francona.
