MLB betting cheat sheet: Lee a strong Over play


Here's a comprehensive look at betting notes for the weekend's major league action:

Nine is Enough

The San Diego Padres (-123, O 7) erupted for a season-high nine runs in the sixth inning en route to a 13-3 thumping of the host Chicago Cubs on Thursday. The Padres have gone Over the total in back-to-back games for just the third time since the end of May.

Simon Sliding?

Cincinnati starter Alfredo Simon will look to bounce back from a rough first outing of the second half as he leads the Reds (-134) against the visiting Washington Nationals. Simon leads the majors in value (+$1,230) but was trounced 7-1 by the Yankees in his first start following the All-Star break.

Over-Lee Predictable

Philadelphia lefty Cliff Lee has been a strong Over play this season as he and the Phillies entertain the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday night. Lee, one of the stingiest hurlers in baseball over the past seven years, is 7-3-1 O/U and has five Overs in his last six outings.

Wainwright to Rebound?

Expect a strong effort from St. Louis Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright as he faces the host Cubs. Wainwright is coming off a loss to Tampa Bay last time out; the Cardinals have followed all four of their previous losses in Wainwright starts with victories in his next outing.

Pitching Notes

* Toronto left-hander Mark Buehrle has yet to figure out the New York Yankees. Buehrle, whose Blue Jays (+123, 8) visit the Bronx on Friday, is 1-11 with a 5.81 ERA in 18 career starts versus the Yankees.

* Baltimore right-hander Bud Norris looks to continue his red-hot run Saturday as the Orioles visit Seattle. Norris is 5-1 against the moneyline in his last six starts while putting together a five-game Under streak.

* Boston Red Sox righty Jake Peavy carries the worst value in the majors into Sunday's tilt against the Tampa Bay Rays. Peavy is at a dismal $-1,371 for the season, while the Red Sox have lost his last nine starts.

Hitting Notes

* Boston shortstop Xander Bogaerts is mired in a lengthy slump, batting just .157 since the end of may to see his average for the season dip to .237. Coincidentally, Bogaerts is a career .237 hitter against the Rays (-134, 6.5), who host Boston on Friday.

* It should come as no surprise that the San Francisco Giants have struggled versus Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw. Members of the Giants roster are hitting a combined .214 in 276 at-bats versus Kershaw, who takes the hill Saturday night.

* Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter may be a good bet to add to his Hall of Fame hit total Sunday against the Blue Jays. Jeter is a career 6-for-11 hitter against Toronto starter JA Happ, with a pair of home runs and three RBIs.

Totals Streak

Cincinnati Reds (0-4 O/U): The Reds enjoyed a much-needed day of rest Thursday after capping a winless six-game road trip with a 5-1 thumping at the hands of the Milwaukee Brewers. Cincinnati, which scored just 12 runs during the trek, is 45-53-3 O/U for the season.

Prop of the Day

Expect a closely contested affair in St. Petersburg between Boston's Jon Lester and fellow southpaw David Price. Bettors should look at either team to win by exactly one run, with the Red Sox valued at +500 to do so and Tampa Bay set at +325.

Injury Notes

* The New York Yankees may be forced to place first baseman Mark Teixeira on the 15-day disabled list with a lat injury. Teixeira has already missed 25 games this season, with the Yankees going 13-12 SU, 11-13-1 O/U and earning 154 units in those contests.

* Minnesota Twins hurler Phil Hughes survived a scare after taking a liner off his right shin Thursday against the Chicago White Sox. X-rays came back negative on Hughes, who left in the fourth inning but remains fourth in the majors in money earned so far in 2014 (+$818).


Weather Watch

* Wind at Wrigley Field will blow out to left field at 11 mph for Friday's game between the host Cubs and the Cardinals. Teams have combined to go 2-9 O/U over the previous three seasons with the wind blowing out to left.

* Philadelphia fans will be treated to wind blowing out to center field at 9 mph Saturday as the Phillies entertain the Arizona Diamondbacks. The home side won just seven of 20 games under similar wind conditions in 2013, with a 12-7-1 O/U.

MLB

'House of Horror'

The meeting between Toronto and New York Friday night is one that will give Toronto backers pause. The club has not only lost 13 of it's last 16 in unfriendly territory, the Blue Birds fly into what has become a house of horrors for Toronto. Swept here back in June, the Blue Jays are now on a 2-20 skid the past 22 trips into the Big Apple. What should really have Toronto backers sitting this one out or fading their favorite team are the numbers compiled by veteran Mark Buehrle against New York. The lefty will be up against the club that has given him the most trouble in his 15-year career. He is 1-11 in eighteen starts against New York with his teams 2-16 (Jays/Pale Hose) over the span including 1-5 wearing a Blue Jay uniform.

River City Sharps

3 units Minnesota Twins -110

The Twins have struggled a bit post All-Star break and so have the Chicago White Sox, so something has to give tonight when they open up a three-game series in Minneapolis. The Sox will give the ball to John Danks, who was rocked for six runs and 10 hits the last time he faced these Twins on June 22nd. The Twins will counter tonight with Kevin Correia, who leads the American League with 12 losses. However, if you dig a little deeper, you will see that Correia has really given the Twins seven quality starts before his last outing, which was a loss to the Rays. Something to consider here in this spot...Danks has really struggled at Target Field, posting a 1-4 career mark with a 7.50 ERA. The Sox are 1-5 in Danks' last six road starts vs. teams with a losing record and an incredible 5-21 in Danks last 26 Friday starts! We really like the home team here tonight and think Correia gives the Twins another good outing.

Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Philadelphia Phillies

10* Arizona Diamondbacks -121

This game features the 44-58 Arizona and the 44-58 Phillies. Although we backed the Phillies yesterday that was because of Cole Hamels. This team is a mess Ryan Howard is benched this team is going nowhere and is a really veteran group with not much motivation. They are just 20-32 at home and Arizona is 23-25 on the Road. Kyle Kendrick is in self destruct mode I'm surprised they are still sending him out there Wade Miley is a smart lefty and only 27 he is only getting better.6-6 with a 4.16 ERA. Arizona is 6-4 last 10 games and look for them to take this easy tonight. Take Arizona for a 10* winner
