Alouettes at Stampeders: What bettors need to know

Montreal Alouettes at Calgary Stampeders (-7, 49)

Veteran quarterback Kevin Glenn looked comfortable filling in for injured Calgary Stampeders starter Drew Tate in a 22-14 victory at Montreal last week. Glenn will try to repeat that performance when the Stampeders host the Alouettes on Saturday. Glenn, who started many games last year - including the Grey Cup final - in place of the oft-injured Tate, completed 22-of-28 passes for 268 yards and got help from running back Jon Cornish, who is second in the league with 304 rushing yards.

Montreal veteran quarterback Anthony Calvillo was limited to 205 passing yards as the Alouettes’ struggles on offence continued under new coach Dan Hawkins. Calvillo is completing less than 60 percent of his passes (58.6) for the first time since 2002 and is on pace for his lowest yardage total since 2007. Montreal’s bright spot is its defence, which recorded six sacks against Calgary last week and is led by linebacker Chip Cox, who is tied for the league lead in tackles with 24.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, TSN

ABOUT THE ALOUETTES (1-2, 1-2 ATS): Veteran offensive lineman Scott Flory is out for the rest of the season after suffering a torn bicep, weakening the already-questionable pass protection in front of Calvillo. Flory, a nine-time CFL all-star, is joined on the sidelines by guard Andrew Woodruff, who suffered a concussion last week. Montreal safety Kyries Hebert - nicknamed “Angry Bird” in reference to the team’s logo, the popular video game and his hard, high-flying hits - is tied with Stampeders defensive lineman Charleston Hughes for second in the league with four sacks.

ABOUT THE STAMPEDERS (2-1, 2-1 ATS): Brad Sinopoli made the transition from quarterback to receiver look easy last week, catching five passes for 81 yards in his debut, including a highlight-reel, one-handed grab in the third quarter. Sinopoli was added to the roster after Tate got hurt and was called on to start when wide receiver Maurice Price sat out with soreness in his knee. Defensive back Keon Raymond led Calgary with six tackles in his season debut after missing two games with an ankle injury.

TRENDS:

* Over is 5-1 in the last six meetings in Calgary.
* Over is 5-2 in the last seven meetings.
* Alouettes are 1-4 ATS in their last five meetings in Calgary.
* Alouettes are 0-5 ATS in their last five meetings.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. Stampeders K Rene Paredes was named Special Teams Player of the Week after converting 5-of-5 field goal attempts in Week 3 to stretch his streak to 25 consecutive field goals. The CFL record is 30.

2. Montreal released RB Chris Jennings, who had eight carries for 29 yards in Week 1 but did not play following the return of RB Brandon Whitaker from an ACL injury.

3. The Alouettes, who have lost two straight since opening the season with a victory, have not recorded three straight regular-season losses since the end of the 2011 campaign.

Eskimos at Lions: What bettors need to know

Edmonton Eskimos at B.C. Lions (-9, 47.5)

The Edmonton Eskimos will not have to worry about rain this week. After playing the past two weeks in downpours, the Eskimos visit the BC Lions on Saturday at BC Place, which has a retractable roof. The Lions held the Eskimos to three points in wet conditions at Edmonton last week - something quarterback Mike Reilly and the rest of the Eskimos offense would like to remedy in the rematch against one of the league’s deeper defenses.

BC’s defense held strong in its first week without linebacker Adam Bighill, who is expected to miss at least one more week with an ankle injury. The Lions were especially strong defending the run in the last two weeks, surrendering 115 yards on the ground following a rough Week 1 in which they gave up 200. BC quarterback Travis Lulay appeared to enjoy the rain, rushing for 82 yards last week and tossing two touchdowns in the third quarter to continue his strong start to the season.

TV: 10 p.m. ET, TSN

ABOUT THE ESKIMOS (1-2, 1-2 ATS): Reilly completed 44-of-80 passes for 492 yards with three touchdowns and four interceptions in his first three games as Edmonton’s starter. While Reilly could use more help from running back Hugh Charles (177 rushing yards), his game needs to improve if he hopes to retain his first CFL starting job. Edmonton has 39-year-old quarterback Kerry Joseph (27,244 career passing yards) ready to fill in and provide veteran stability, but for a team looking to build for the future, Joseph represents a short-term solution.

ABOUT THE LIONS (2-1, 2-1 ATS): Cornerback Cord Parks is the only defender in the league with two interceptions, including one he returned 45 yards for a touchdown in Week 1. Running back Andrew Harris (292 combined yards) and wide receiver Emmanuel Arceneaux (206 receiving yards) are Lulay’s favorrite options on offense, while slotback Nick Moore (187 receiving yards) took the place of Geroy Simon in BC’s backfield. Slotback Shawn Gore is expected to play this week after missing a game with a concussion, adding another weapon to Lulay’s arsenal.

TRENDS:

* Over is 5-2 in the last seven meetings in BC.
* Eskimos are 2-6 ATS in their last eight meetings.
* Eskimos are 1-4 ATS in their last five meetings in BC.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. Edmonton LB JC Sherritt is tied for the league lead in tackles with 24. Eskimos LB Damaso Munoz is tied for fourth with 18.

2. The Lions, who won their home opener against the Toronto Argonauts in Week 2, were 8-1 at home last year.

3. Eskimos star SB Fred Stamps, who was a last-minute scratch in Week 3 with a leg injury, is questionable for Saturday.

Favorites and live long shots to win MLB Cy Young Awards
By JASON LOGAN

The first half of the MLB schedule has given us some front runners for the 2013 Cy Young Awards, honoring the top pitchers in the American and National Leagues. There’s a lot of baseball to play this summer, and spotting an ace before they get hot can pay off big in the Cy Young futures.

We take a look at the favorites and some live long shots to earn each league’s top pitching honor.

American League Cy Young

Favorite: Max Scherzer, Detroit Tigers (-300)

Scherzer picked up 13 wins before suffering his first blemish of the season right before the break. The Tigers righty has a 3.19 ERA and owns the sixth-best WHIP in baseball. Last season, he posted a 2.69 ERA and an 8-2 record after the break and has been at his best in the second half of the sked, with a 3.03 ERA and a 19-12 record over the past three seasons.

Long shot: Yu Darvish, Texas Rangers (+2,000)

Darvish was a scratch from the All-Star Game due to injury but the Rangers’ second-year hurler got some much needed down time and will be ready to go in the second half of the slate. He boasts an 8-4 record and 3.02 ERA and leads the majors in Ks with 157 at the break. The Japanese righty struggled in the second half of 2012 but if Texas makes a push in the AL West, you can be sure he’ll be the catalyst.

National League Cy Young

Favorite: Adam Wainwright, St. Louis Cardinals (+200)

Wainwright was another top ace that sat out the All-star Game, instead resting up for the home stretch. The Cardinals have soared to the top of the National League on the back of their 6-foot-7 right-hander, who is 12-5 with a 2.45 ERA at the break. Wainwright, who missed all of 2011, was stellar in the post-break schedule last summer, with a 3.28 ERA and 1.14 WHIP.

Long shot: Jordan Zimmermann, Washington Nationals (+600)

The Nationals have struggled to repeat last year’s success but Zimmermann has kept their heads above water with a 12-4 record and 2.58 ERA at the break. The righty was solid in the second half of 2012, going 7-2 with a 3.38 ERA and if Washington finds its form, there is great value in Zimmermann to bring home the hardware.

Odds to win National League Cy Young

Adam Wainwright (Cardinals) +200
Patrick Corbin (Diamondbacks) +350
Clayton Kershaw (Dodgers) +400
Jordan Zimmermann (Nationals) +600
Cliff Lee (Phillies) +800
Lance Lynn (Cardinals) +900
Jason Grilli (Pirates) +1,200
Jeff Locke (Pirates) +1,200
Craig Kimbrel (Braves) +1,500
Shelby Miller (Cardinals) +1,500
Matt Harvey (Mets) +1,500
A.J. Burnett (Pirates) +4,000

Odds to win American League Cy Young

Max Scherzer (Tigers) -300
Joe Nathan (Rangers) +600
Bartolo Colon (Athletics) +800
Clay Buchholz (Red Sox) +1,000
Matt Moore (Rays) +1,200
Yu Darvish (Rangers) +2,000
Felix Hernandez (Mariners) +2,500
Mariano Rivera (Yankees) +3,000
Addison Reed (White Sox) +5,000
Justin Verlander (Tigers) +5,000
Anibal Sanchez (Tigers) +10,000

MLB Top 3: Baseball's worst runline bets after the All-Star break
By JASON LOGAN

The marathon MLB season can start to wear on bettors after the break, which makes it a good time to mix up your wagers with something new. If you’ve been betting nothing but moneylines, try your hand at the runline – baseball’s version of the spread.

We take a look back over the past five seasons to find out which clubs have constantly fallen short of the runline after the All-Star break.

Records between 2008-2012.

Worst post-break runline bets

New York Mets (156-207 SU, 164-199 ATS)

Runline bettors are rotten in the Big Apple with the Mets falling short against the spread. New York, which is down -7.83 units on the runline this season, went a combined 96-125 ATS after the break from 2010-12. The Mets haven't finished above .500 versus the runline after the break since 2008, when they posted a 34-33 ATS mark in the second half of the slate.

Pittsburgh Pirates (130-234 SU, 167-197 ATS)

On top of being the worst post-break moneyline wager over the past five years (-78.30 units), the Pirates have burned plenty of booty on the runline as well. Pittsburgh hasn’t been too bad ATS in recent seasons but was a terrible 59-82 ATS between 2008 and 2009. The Bucs are currently up +21.00 units on the runline at the break.

Detroit Tigers (188-178 SU, 169-199 ATS)

The Tigers have been good but not good enough to cover the runline. Detroit, which is down -1.94 units on the runline heading into the second half of the sked, was the worst late-summer runline wager in 2009, going 28-47 ATS. Since then, the Tigers are 112-110 against the runline after the break. Good but not GREEEAAAT!

Other notables

Boston Red Sox (178-183 SU, 166-195 ATS)
Chicago White Sox (181-183 SU, 168-195 ATS)
Minnesota Twins (177-189 SU, 176-190 ATS)

MLB Top 3: Baseball's best runline bets after the All-Star break
By JASON LOGAN

The marathon MLB season can start to wear on bettors after the break, which makes it a good time to mix up your wagers with something new. If you’ve been betting nothing but moneylines, try your hand at the runline – baseball’s version of the spread.

We take a look back over the past five seasons to find out which clubs have constantly covered the runline after the All-Star break.

Records between 2008-2012.

Best post-break runline bets

Baltimore Orioles (164-202 SU, 197-169 ATS)

The Orioles constantly get love on the runline from oddsmakers due to playing in the ultra-competitive AL East. Baltimore has made the most of those extra runs, covering the spread 53.8 percent of the time after the break since 2008. This year, the O’s are 54-42 against the runline for +15.86 units.

Oakland Athletics (186-175 SU, 196-165 ATS)

The A’s get a similar treatment in the AL West, where the Angels and Rangers hog the spotlight. Oakland has put together some strong second half pushes, including last summer when the club went 51-25 SU and 52-24 ATS in the latter half of the schedule. So far this season, the A’s are 51-44 against the runline for +10.20 units.

Kansas City Royals (157-206 SU, 195-167 ATS)

The Milwaukee Brewers actually have a better second-half runline record (196-163 ATS) than the Royals but K.C. provides much more value due to its losing record. Kansas City was a beast ATS in 2011, posting a 46-25 ATS mark despite winning only 34 of those 71 post-break contests. In 2012, the club went 45-33 ATS. The Royals have struggled against the runline in 2013, going 42-50 ATS for -14.24 units at the break.

Other notables:

Milwaukee Brewers (200-161 SU, 196-163 ATS)
New York Yankees (217-149 SU, 191-175 ATS)
Toronto Blue Jays (177-181 SU, 190-168 ATS)

Handicapping MLB's best 'hitters' ballparks
By DOC'S SPORTS

The MLB All-Star break presents the perfect opportunity to study the first half of the baseball season in search of key statistics and trends that can serve as a handicapping guide for the rest of the year.

Some of the most telling stats revolve around how each of the 30 MLB ballparks held up against the hitters it faced. While there are many different factors that help make a “hitters’ park”, the proof of which ones where truly the best still lie in the numbers.

There are a number of different ways to measure ballparks in terms of whether or not they were favorable to hitters, but the top statistic is its OPS. This is a combination of on-base percentage and slugging percentage that measures the ability to get on base as well as hitting for power.

Through the first half of the season the Top 5 hitters’ ballparks according to OPS were as follows:

1. Fenway Park, Boston - .772
2. Rogers Centre, Toronto - .766
3. Coors Field, Colorado - .764
4. Comerica Park, Detroit - .762
5. Miller Park, Milwaukee - .757

It’s no big surprise that Fenway tops this list as that has always been known as a hitters’ park. It also helps when the home team is ranked first in the majors in runs scored with 498 through 97 games. The Red Sox are also ranked first overall in OPS at .793.

Comerica Park’s high OPS has also aided by the hitting power of its tenant. The Tigers are ranked second in the Majors with an OPS of .785. They are the second-highest scoring team in MLB with an average of 5.08 runs per game.

The best pure hitters’ park on this list would probably be Miller Park in Milwaukee, considering that the hometown Brewers are ranked 14th in the majors in OPS at .714 and ranked 23rd in scoring with an average of 3.9 runs a game.

If you just want to rank a hitters’ park on slugging percentage alone then the Rogers Centre would move to the top of the list with a SLG of .445. The Blue Jays are ranked sixth overall in slugging percentage at .416, and their team OPS is .732. Fenway ranks second in slugging percentage at .438, and Coors Field is tied with Camden Yards in Baltimore for third with a SLG of .434.

Some people like to equate a hitters’ park with the number of home runs it has given up. Camden Yards would be at the top of this list after yielding 138 homers so far this year. This number has been greatly aided by the fact that the Orioles have accounted for 132 of these blasts through 96 games.

Another good measure of what constitutes a good hitters’ park is a team’s over/under. While this may have little to do with actual baseball statistics and is more a measure of how the oddsmakers set the line, it still provides a valuable handicapping tool for predicting future results.

The final score has gone over in 51 of Detroit’s first 94 games - 54 3 percent. This stands to reason considering that the Tigers are one of the best hitting teams in baseball. A few other teams that have been profitable on the total in terms of games going over the total are not necessarily known for their hitting ability.

The total has gone over in 53.1 percent of Philadelphia and San Diego’s 96 games so far. While the Phillies could be considered a middle-of-the-road team when it comes to OPS and slugging percentage, the Padres remain one of the worst overall hitting teams in the majors.

Saturday MLB Thoughts

Phillies at Mets: My inclination was to take the Mets, but Wheeler's great outing was against the Giants, the team that traded him, and his other good outing was against Atlanta who hadn't seen him and is streaky anyways. Have to lean Phillies here at first look. Although, the Mets obviously know him as well as anyone, but he was hit pretty hard by them lat month, so perhaps a measure of revenge. Coin flip and would follow money there.

Pirates-Reds: I said what I meant when I swore off betting on or against the Reds. No chance of laying -140 anyway and think the Pirates actually have a better back end. Well, I know they do. Pirates RL here.

Washington-Dodgers: We've had great success earlier in the season, but he seems to have rounded back into form. The Dodgers are under .500 against LHP and on the road, and Gio has handled them well with limited exposure. Collectively the Nationals have hit Grienke well, although Suzuki and Span have the Lions' share of the at bats. Still, I;d have to take the Nationals here.

Miami-Milwaukee: I just usually have a hard time backing Gallardo, because when he's bad he's really bad. In this case, he shut down the Fish on four hits last month, so perhaps the Fish get their revenge. I think that was also before Stanton came back and Pierre may have even been out, too. Very possible we could play the Fish RL. Have not looked at the weather, but with the roof open here there could be some runs scored.

Cardinals-Padres: I know that the Cardinals are clearly the better team, but with Volquez's capabilities here and RL cost of only +120 on the Padres, that's what I'd do. Lynn is simply not THAT dominant every time out.

Cubs-Rockies: Still trying to grasp the Cubs meltdown last Sunday night, and with Villenueva pitching that almost assuredly will bring the Chicago bullpen into play sooner rather than later. Nicasio at home is nothing to brag about (most Colorado pitchers aren't) and I'd have loved to take the over, but at 9.5 it does give me pause. No chance of laying 150, however, so maybe Cubs RL, because with a total that high it might be affordable.

Arizona-San Francisco: My instinct here tells me that it might be time to fade Cain again, especially since it's been three weeks since he threw an actual game. But, since Miley has regressed and the Giants fare well against him, I'll look at the over in that one, perhaps, but think the Giants are the right side.

Rays at Jays: How can Buerhle only be -110 at home to a flyball pitcher like Hellickson against a free swinging team in Toronto, in a day game, when the roof should be wide open. Looks like el-trapo to me. Especially when Hellickson just one-hit Toronto not long ago. Yes, he (Buerhle) was lit up by the Orioles right before the break, but the old man in much better in the Rogers Centre than not. Toronto or nothing.

Yankees-Boston: We keep waiting for the Lackey implosion at some point. The ONE thing that concerns me here is that south breeze blowing out to right field here, and clearly both lineups will be stacked with lefties, IMO. That would have concerned me if Lackey wasn't holding lefties to a .204 average. I know what Kuroda CAN do, and because of that I actually think this total might be high even for Fenway and the conditions.

Detroit at Kansas City: Totally not happening that I lay -160 on the road and I'd have said that even if Verlander weren't hit hard last time out. Guthrie can be solid and the Royals have a bullpen advantage, so Royals RL or moving on.

Cleveland at Minnesota: I don't care who has the better lineup here, I just don't think Cory Kluber is a -130 pitcher on the road. In fact, he has been terrible on the road. Minnesota or pass. At nine I can perhaps make a reasonable case for the over here, but the weather isn't overly warm and little breeze to help. We'll see what happens on Friday.

Seattle-Houston: I really wanted to take Norris on Friday, but couldn't quite get past the Mariners recent offensive output. I do like Bedard in certain situations, and this could be one of them. Iwakuma has given up 11 HR's in his last five starts, and four of those were in pitcher-friendly Seattle. Since Houston has already seen him this season, and was shut down by him, I have to think Houston and/or over here.

Baltimore-Texas: For a second I thought that was RANDY Wolf Since the Orioles haven't seen ROSS Wolf, and Ross is not a starter, hence on a pitch count, this game is totally predicated on how much bullpen each team uses on Friday. Gonzalez JUST shut down the Rangers in Baltimore right before the break, and that was essentially the first time they'd seen him. Might consider over in this one, but detest 9.5. Again, see Friday.

Oakland-LA Angels: Looks like Peggy Wilson got his groove back. HOWEVER, two of those three good starts were against weak teams, and in the win against Boston he did give up ten hits. That's enough to tell me to take the A's or pass here. But, because of the pitchers and the park, that total of only 8 might be an over play.

Jack Clayton

4-Star Baseball Road Warrior Rout

4*Play the LA Dodgers. Washington has a bad offense and goes with starter Gio Gonzalez, who likes to nibble around the plate. That comes at a cost walking 47 batters in 118 innings and he faces a red-hot LA team that knows how to draw walks, 8th in baseball in on base percentage. The Dodgers have been a red-hot team the last month. And speaking of hot,Clayton Kershaw (8-6, 1.98 ERA) has led that charge with a 2-1 record his last three starts and a 1.50 ERA. Kershaw has allowed two earned runs or fewer in 14 of his first 20 starts this season. He is 8-6 with a 1.98 ERA , a 0.91 WHIP and a 139-to-35 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 145 1/3 innings. He will have no trouble shutting down the punchless Nationals. Play the LA Dodgers.

MLB
Pittsburgh (Burnett) at Cincinnati (Latos) (-140) 4:05 ET FOX TV
3% Pittsburgh (Burnett) (+130)
The Reds have one of the best home records in baseball at 31-16. That includes 16-2 home/loss. Thus we do not fear the Reds today who are just 15-14 home/win. After a phenomenal 21 game starting record, the Reds have gone just 2-4 in the last 6 starts by Latos. His decline is characterized by the fact that he has a 9.00 ERA his last 2 starts. And the Reds have lost all 3 times that Latos has faced the Pirates this year. Despite last night’s loss, Pittsburgh is still on a 14-6 run. Coming off the DL (calf), Burnett has immediately returned to form with a 2.52 ERA in those outings.

San Diego (Volquez) at St. Louis (Lynn) (-190, -1 ½ runs +110) 7:15 ET
4% St. Louis (Lynn) (-190, -1 ½ runs +110)
St. Louis has rebounded from their 3-8 slide by going 8-2 of late. We will continue to ride Lynn from this mound where, in his last 11 starts, he is 10-0 with a 2.51 ERA and we will continue to fade San Diego and Volquez. The Padres enter on negative runs of 4-19, 2-15 with 10 consecutive road losses. Volquez is not the stopper. Volquez is among the worst in the league with a 5.74 ERA and 1.62 WHIP. Volquez is also 0-3 with a 6.35 ERA from this mound. Run line players take note: 46/58 St. Louis wins, including 23/28 on this field have been by 2 or more runs. For San Diego, 8/10 of those consecutive road losses have been by 2 or more runs. Consider part of your wager on the run line.

Tampa Bay (Hellickson) at Toronto (Buehrle) (-105) 1:05 ET
3% Tampa Bay (Hellickson) (-105)
Not about to jump off the meal ticket that has been Tampa Bay for us. The current surge is now 18-4 and 15-2. In those 17 games, the Rays have a 2.09 ERA. Part of that run has been the result of Hellickson in his performance in his last 5 starts over which time he has gone 4-0 with a 1.97 ERA. In 3 starts vs. Toronto this season, Hellickson has a 2.25 ERA. After an 11-0 blitz, Toronto has fallen back with a 7-14 recent record. Buehrle’s good work at home is the only reason for reducing this rating. But Buehrle comes off his worst outing of the year in which he allowed 8 runs in 6 IP of an 8-5 loss to Baltimore.

*4 Star MLB Play of Day* The Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates play a very important 3 game series this weekend in Cincinnati. The Reds took the first game of this series last night. Both teams will start one of their best pitchers in Saturday's matchup. A.J. Burnett will start for the Pirates, and he's been their most consistent pitcher this year. Matt Latos starts for the Reds. He's coming off his worst start of the year, and I expect him to bounce right back into form. These two teams have a history of playing some very low scoring games against each other. The under is 7-1-3 in the last 11 meetings between these teams. The under is 8-0 in the Pirates last 8 games. The under is 6-0-1 in the Pirates last 7 against a right-handed starter. Take the under.

*3 Star MLB Total Domination* Justin Verlander has absolutely owned the Kansas City Royals in his career. He has a career 2.5 ERA against the Royals. He has actually been even better with a 2.3 ERA when starting in Kansas City. Jeremy Guthrie will start for the Royals, and he has a solid 3.8 ERA in his career against the Tigers. Guthrie is a much better pitcher at home as well. While Verlander struggled earlier this year, I expect him to be dialed in for the second half of the season. Lance Barksdale is behind the plate for this one, and he is a solid under umpire because of his generous strike zone. A strong wind blowing in from right field should also help the under. I like the value here. Take the under.

*3 Star MLB Major Mismatch* The San Diego Padres have been a complete mess of late. I don't see it helping things get turned around when they have Edinson Volquez taking the mound against the St. Louis Cardinals. Volquez in one of the most inconsistent pitchers in all of baseball, and he has a 6.5 ERA when pitching in St. Louis. On the other side, Lance Lynn will start for the Cardinals. He is 7-0 with 2.5 ERA at home this year. The Padres lineup isn't good to start with, and they are missing several of their top players due to injuries. St. Louis has what I believe to be the best offense in the National League, and I expect them to tee off on Volquez. The Padres are 0-9 in their last 9 against a team with a winning record. The Padres are 1-10 in their last 11 games as a road underdog. The Cardinals are 6-0 in their last 6 games as a home favorite. Take the Cardinals -1.5.

http://sportswagers.ca/graphics/icons/logo_18.pngEdmonton @ B.C. LIONS
Edmonton +9 -115 over B.C. LIONS

These two also played last week in Edmonton but that game was played in a heavy downpour and the result was a 17-3 Lions win. We’re not going to put a lot of emphasis on that loss. It was difficult conditions for a rookie QB and these Lions do possess a very good defense. This week expect much more from Edmonton QB, Mike Reilly. This guy is very undervalued right now. He sees the field well and he also reads defenses very well. The results haven’t been there yet but Reilly is on the verge of making a name for himself. He’s surrounded by good personnel and the Eskies defense might just be the best in the business. Edmonton has played one road game this season. Back in Week 2, they went into Guelph as a 6-point pooch and buried the Tiger-Cats while holding Hamilton’s strong offense at bay the entire outing. We mentioned last week that the Lions have looked out of sorts and nothing has changed. The Lions offense has scored just 73 points in three games and now they’re being asked to spot a significant margin to a great defense. The Lions are 2-1 but both wins over the Argos and the aforementioned win last week against Edmonton were unimpressive. Perhaps B.C. puts it all together this week and has a tremendous outing. They have the talent to do precisely that. However, Edmonton is no pushover despite what their record and stats suggest. The Eskimos are without question, a team on the rise, undervalued and a dangerous dog. We’re calling the big upset in this one but will gladly accept the generous points.

Our Pick
Edmonton +9 -115 (Risking 2.3 units - To Win: 2.00)







http://sportswagers.ca/graphics/icons/logo_18.pngMontreal @ CALGARY
CALGARY -7 -102 over Montreal


These two met in Montreal last week and the result was a 22-14 win for the visiting Stampeders. That score is flattering to the Alouettes, as they couldn’t move five yards the entire game and somehow hung around when a late TD by their special teams made it closer than it should have been. On its home field, Montreal was dominated in every department. This season, after three games, the Als offensive and defensive lines have looked like university squads. They will now enter this game minus their best guard in Scott Flory. Flory is a significant loss because his absence leaves aging Anthony Calvillo will far less protection. Montreal has no big-play capabilities anymore. Its defense has been brutal and they now get its toughest test of the season when traveling to Calgary. Remember, Montreal was fortunate to win its first game. They’ve faced the useless offense of the Blue Bombers twice and didn’t look pretty against that pathetic group. Montreal has 30 two and outs this season, which was the worst mark in the league heading into Week 4. The Als have no idea what’s in store for them here. Calgary is an offensive juggernaut. They probably should have piled up another 14 points last week in Montreal but that works to our benefit with this beatable number. Kevin Glenn made his first start of the year and completed 22 of 28 passes for 268 yards. He’ll be more dangerous this week. The Stamps have played just one home game this season back in Week 1. They buried the Lions in that game 44-32 but they let up in the second half after they built up a 31-6 halftime lead. These Stampeders will be thrilled to get back home to play in front of their enthusiastic supporters and the unfortunate recipient will be the CFL’s worst team in every department. Expect Calgary to bury this visitor by 21 or more.

Our Pick
CALGARY -7 -102

http://sportswagers.ca/graphics/icons/logo_5.pngBaltimore @ TEXAS
Baltimore +105 over TEXAS


A quick glance at today’s starting pitchers will reveal R. Wolf starting for the Rangers. We’re sure some of you are going to think that the Rangers are using long-time major-leaguer Randy Wolf but they’re not. This is Ross Wolf, a career minor-league journeyman. In 2010, the Athletics acquired Wolf from Baltimore in a June '10 trade and they promoted him to the majors for the first time since '07. Wolf pitched 12 innings with the Marlins in '07 and posted an 11.68 ERA. He's a low upside pitcher who pitches primarily off of his high 80s sinker. He’s worked primarily in relief this year and in 33 innings, Wolf has just nine K’s. In fact, it’s safe to say that he’s been the Rangers mop-up man, as he’s entered games when Texas was losing 14-5, 6-1, 6-1 again and 9-2 among others. He got a start last time out when Yu Darvish was placed on the DL and sure enough that start came in Baltimore against these same Orioles. Wolf caught lightning in a bottle that day by allowing just three hits (2 of them bombs) in six innings and picked up the win. Lightning will not strike twice. Wolf is 30-years old with 58 career ML innings and he’s not about to go R.A. Dickey on anyone. One of the stalwarts on the surprising 2012 Orioles was Miguel Gonzalez, who went 9-4 in their second-half playoff drive. After missing 2008 and 2009 with arm issues, Gonzalez worked his way up the minor league ladder in the Boston system before coming over to Baltimore. Gonzalez’s skills are consistent with last year. He’s not piling up huge strikeout numbers, but he does a good job of avoiding free passes, as his command will attest to. After a slow start (4.60 ERA in April), he’s pitched better of late. Gonzalez was 4-1 a 2.88 ERA in five June starts. He’s allowed three runs or less in seven straight and while he may not fare as well today at this unforgiving park, he’s a much better option taking back a tag than Ross Wolf is spotting one.

Our Pick
Baltimore +105 (Risking 2 units - To Win: 2.10)







http://sportswagers.ca/graphics/icons/logo_5.pngChicago @ COLORADO
Chicago +138 over COLORADO

The Cubbies took the opener last night 3-1 and have now won 12 of their past 19 games. Chicago continues to get timely hitting, good pitching and contributions from several different sources each night. They were undervalued yesterday and they’re undervalued again today with another pitching matchup in their favor. Carlos Villanueva is no stranger to starting games. He started a game before the break against St. Louis and went six solid innings (four hits, two runs). In his career, Villanueva has started 66 games in over 300 appearances and he’s been effective no matter what role he’s in. Villanueva was one of the NL's biggest surprises in April (2.29 ERA, 0.82 WHIP). He has a nice 9.0% swinging strike rate. While his 87.8 mph average fastball velocity does not leave any room for error, he has used it with his 80 mph change-up to keep hitters off balance. Hitters managed only a .128 BA and .308 Slg against his change-up. He’s also using a good sinker to induce plenty of groundballs. Villanueva has a strong arsenal of pitches. He comes in with a solid xERA of 3.77 and another strong start here would be of no surprise. The Rockies have lost five of Juan Nicasio’s last eight starts. Nicasio has just five pure quality starts in 17 tries this season for one of the worst dominant starts/disaster starts splits in the majors. Micro-fracture knee surgery last July ended his season, curtailing his comeback from a fractured vertebrae that ended 2011. Nicasio has spent 177 days on the DL over the past three seasons and his 88 innings pitched this year is a career high at this level. In those 88 frames, he has just 59 K’s but has also issued 31 free passes. Nicasio’s 4.89 ERA is fully supported by his ugly xERA of 5.09. Nocasio’s current combination of a middling strikeout rate, shaky command, poor durability and allowing too many runners to cross home plate all conspire to make him a very risky and unappealing favorite.

Our Pick
Chicago +138 (Risking 2 units - To Win: 2.76)







http://sportswagers.ca/graphics/icons/logo_5.pngTampa Bay @ TORONTO
Tampa Bay +100 over TORONTO
BEST LINE: Pinnacle (http://www.pinnaclesports.com) +100The Jays began the second half the same way they began the first half. Toronto has now dropped two in a row and four of its last five games. It’s also worth noting that the Rays have won six of the past nine games against Toronto and this might be the Jays worst matchup of them all. Mark Buehrle was crushed in his last start in Baltimore in which he was tagged for three jacks and eight runs in six innings. Buehrle occasionally throws a lucky game when all those hard hit balls are right at people. However, his skills keep deteriorating with age and he’s missing fewer bats than ever. Buehrle comes into this start with a 5-6 record, a 1.37 WHIP, a 4.89 ERA and a .277 BAA. At home his numbers look much better (4-1 with a 3.30 ERA) but he’s been the exact same pitcher at home as he’s been on the road in terms of poor skills. That tells us that ERA regression at home is inevitable and these Rays have plenty of weapons to start that regression today.
Jeremy Hellickson is the exact opposite of Mark Buehrle. Hellickson owns a 4.67 ERA due to no fault of his own and that’s fine with us, as that hugely misleading ERA has him way undervalued here. Hellickson’s ERA is a direct result of an unlucky 63% strand rate. Hellickson has posted an xERA of 3.06 over his past six starts. That’s an xERA equivalent to Matt Harvey, Clayton Kershaw and Justin Verlander. Hellickson has outstanding control, a good strikeout rate (26/97 - BB/K in 118 innings), a solid batted ball profile of 49%/16%/34% groundball/line-drive/fly-ball and he has a legit shot to post a 3.50 ERA in the second half. He’s also pitching for a hot team and the fact that Hellickson is a dog to Buehrle is ridiculous. Wrong side favored.

Our Pick
Tampa Bay +100 (Risking 2 units - To Win: 2.00)







http://sportswagers.ca/graphics/icons/logo_5.pngMiami @ MILWAUKEE
Miami +149 over MILWAUKEE


Yovanni Gallardo has been one of baseball's biggest pitching disappointments. The Milwaukee Brewers have been one of baseball’s biggest team disappointments. Now this combination of big disappointments is a -160 favorite? Gallardo’s velocity has continued its trend downward from his peak performance in 2011. His skills in May and June were at least somewhat respectable, but July has been his worst month so far with 11 K’s, 7 walks, 15 earned runs allowed and a 39% groundball rate in 15 July innings. Overall, the Brewers have lost four of Gallardo’s last five starts and that includes a July 1 start in Washington is which he allowed eight runs in three innings. The biggest red flag of all is Gallardo’s 28% line-drive rate over his past 10 starts and there isn’t a pitcher on the planet that is going to have sustained success with a line-drive rate that high. Nathan Eovaldi has started just five games this season and all five starts have been of the pure quality variety. Eovaldi’s stock is still low because he went 4-13 with a 4.30 ERA in 119 IP last year for the Marlins and Dodgers. However, last season, Eovaldi was a rookie that had just 168 IP above A+ ball and was learning on the job. He struggled with strikeout rate and control but made strides in keeping the ball on the ground. In September of last year, Eovaldi posted a 3.72/3.32 ERA/xERA, good command and a 51% GB% in 29 IP. Combine that with this year and these are the seeds of something with very good profit potential. Eovaldi has mid 90’s raw stuff and in his five starts he has a 47% groundball rate, a 16% line-drive rate a 1.04 WHIP and an ERA of 2.93. It’s no fluke either, making him one of the most undervalued pitchers on today’s card.

Our Pick
Miami +149 (Risking 2 units - To Win: 2.98)

Wunderdog Sports Free Pick

Game: Tampa Bay at Toronto (1:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: Toronto -105 (moneyline) at Bovada

The Toronto Blue Jays have a lot of ground to make up in the AL East and the wildcard race, but will be poised for a win here this afternoon vs. Tampa Bay. Mark Buehrle has been the best pitcher in baseball over the last 10 years when he takes the ball at home. Buehrle's clubs have enjoyed a magnificent 93-42 record when he has taken the hill as a home favorite, the most profitable pitcher in baseball as a home favorite over the last decade. Jeremy Hellickson owns an 8-3 record, but sports a 4.67 ERA, so his record does not speak to his performance on the season, and this is a tough match-up for Tampa. The Jay's have come away with the win in Buehrle's last five home starts, and I expect another strong outing here. Play on Toronto.
