Seventh-worst money pitcher in action Friday
Stephen Campbell

The Tampa Bay Rays have been an awful bet with Jake Odorizzi on the mound this season. Through Thursday, Odorizzi is ranked as the seventh-worst money pitcher in the league with an atrocious $-709. The 24-year-old will try to turn things around Friday night when his team takes on the Baltimore Orioles in the second game of a double header between the two clubs.

MLB roundup: Twins summon 20-year-old Polanco
By THE SPORTS XCHANGE

The Minnesota Twins promoted 20-year-old shortstop Jorge Polanco from Class A to the majors, the team announced Thursday.

In 72 games with Class A Fort Myers, Polanco hit .289 (83-for-287) with 12 doubles, five home runs and 35 RBIs. Polanco, who was just named Florida State League Player of the Week, made 68 starts at shortstop and one at second base for Fort Myers.

The Twins needed an infielder as shortstop Danny Santana is sidelined with left knee soreness.

To make room for Polanco on the 25-man roster, the Twins optioned right-handed pitcher Yohan Pino to Triple-A Rochester. Pino made two starts for the Twins, posting a 6.30 ERA.

--- Boston Red Sox outfielder Shane Victorino, who was hoping he would return from his hamstring injury within the next week, had his rehab shut down with back soreness, according to reports.

Victorino, 33, has been out since late May with the hamstring strain. He missed most of April with another hamstring strain. Victorino has battled numerous hamstring issues over the years but this is the first time his back is giving him a problem.

In only 21 games between injuries, Victorino has hit .242 with one home run, 10 RBIs and two steals this season. He hit .294 with 15 homers, 61 RBIs and 21 steals in 122 games last season en route to the team's World Series title.

---The Chicago White Sox designated left-handed pitcher Scott Downs for assignment and recalled left-hander Eric Surkamp from Triple-A Charlotte, the team announced Thursday.

Surkamp, 26, has gone 3-4 with a 4.54 ERA in 73 1/3 innings, including 84 strikeouts in 14 games (11 starts) with Charlotte this season. This is his first year in the White Sox organization after being claimed off waivers from the San Francisco Giants on Dec. 23, 2013.

Surkamp was 2-3 with a 7.36 ERA in seven starts with the Giants (2011, 2013).

Downs, 38, went 0-2 with a 6.08 ERA in 23 2/3 innings, with 15 walks and 22 strikeouts in 38 games this season, his first with the Sox.

---The Houston Astros called up right-hander Jose Veras from Triple-A Oklahoma City and designated for assignment veteran right-hander Kyle Farnsworth on Thursday.

Veras, who was signed on June 15, hurled two scoreless innings on one hit while striking out four for Oklahoma City. He had been released by the Chicago Cubs five days earlier. Veras was 21 for 25 in save chances last year.

The 38-year-old Farnsworth, who signed with Houston six weeks ago after being let go by the New York Mets, has surrendered six earned runs on nine hits in his last 5 1/3 innings. He is 0-3 with a 4.40 ERA in 28 2/3 innings this year.

---Pittsburgh Pirates left fielder Starling Marte was not in the starting lineup for a second straight game after suffering concussion-like symptoms Tuesday night while sliding into second base in a game at Tampa Bay.

The head and neck are no longer a problem, but Marte is still feeling the effects of a jammed right middle finger.

---The New York Mets activated center fielder Juan Lagares from the 15-day disabled list before the game and optioned infielder Wilmer Flores to Triple-A Las Vegas. Lagares had been out since June 2 with a right intercostal strain.

---Pirates left-hander Francisco Liriano had a 30-pitch bullpen session, the first time he had thrown off a mound since going on the disabled list on June 11 with a left oblique strain.

Trends point to Under in this matchup

The Under has been a solid play when the Tampa Bay Rays have played away from Tropicana Field as of late, going 8-1 in Tampa's last nine on the road. For the Baltimore Orioles, the Under is 8-1-1 in their last 10 at home. Sharp bettors need to take note of those stats when the Rays visit the O's at Oriole Park at Camden Yards Friday.

Game of the Day: Cardinals at Dodgers


St. Louis Cardinals at Los Angeles Dodgers (-138, 7)

The Los Angeles Dodgers and the St. Louis Cardinals own two of the best pitching staffs in the league and are already putting them on display early in the series. The offenses will attempt to combine for more than one run when the Dodgers host the Cardinals in the second of a four-game series on Friday. Josh Beckett and Adam Wainwright matched zeros through seven innings in the opener before Wainwright blinked in the 1-0 final.

Los Angeles is allowing an average of 2.1 in the last 10 games and owns eight wins in that span as it chases down the San Francisco Giants in the National League West. The Cardinals are losers of five of their last nine and have the offense to blame. St. Louis has scored a total of nine runs in those five losses and wasted two chances to score in Thursday’s opener when Allen Craig was thrown out at the plate and Peter Bourjos slid past second base and was tagged out after an easy steal in the ninth.

LINE HISTORY: Books opened the Dodgers as -144 faves, but that has since moved to -138.The total opened at 7.

POWER RANKINGS: Cardinals (-192), Dodgers (-183)

INJURY REPORT: Cardinals: 2B Koston Wong (15-day DL, shoulder). Dodgers - LF Carl Crawford (15-day DL, ankle), 3B Chone Figgins (15-day DL, quad), SS H Ramirez (questionable, shoulder)

WHAT SHARPS SAY: "Both the Cardinals and Dodgers have underperformed this season as evident by their (-) results overall versus the moneyline, however these are still two of the most talented teams in the league and this is matchup is a potential postseason preview. Carlos Martinez has only started two games this season and he lasted just 4 and 5 innings each time, so the St. Louis bullpen will likely play a large role tonight.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Cardinals RH Carlos Martinez (1-3, 4.33 ERA) vs. Dodgers LH Hyun-jin Ryu (9-3, 3.06)

Martinez is getting his third straight start as he stretches out after beginning the season in the bullpen. The 22-year-old picked up a win on Sunday against Philadelphia, when he allowed three runs - all in one inning – on three hits over five frames. Martinez made four appearances out of the bullpen in the playoffs against Los Angeles last fall and yielded one hit in a total of 4 2/3 scoreless frames.

Ryu has won back-to-back starts, allowing one run over six innings in each turn. The South Korea native owns six quality starts in his last seven outings and has issued just 18 walks in 82 1/3 innings. Ryu is making his second career regular-season start against St. Louis after allowing an unearned run over seven innings to earn a win his first time facing the Cardinals.


TRENDS:

* Under is 6-2 in the last eight meetings.
* Cardinals are 5-1 in their last six versus a team with a wining record.
* Dodgers are 6-1 in their last seven games as a favorite.
* Under is 7-0 in Cardinal's last seven games versus a team with a winning record.

MLB Betting News and Notes - Week #13
Earlier this week, StatSystems Sports looked at the Over/Under records in Major League Baseball games with totals of 10 or more runs, finding that there was a sharp decline in double-digit totals in recent seasons and that the Under has been a profitable play when the Over/Under reaches those heights. Then, the Colorado Rockies when 4-1-1 Over/Under in six straight games with double-digit totals.

Now, we flip the inquiry and look at the slimmest MLB totals over the past four seasons (2011-2014) to see if the Over or the Under hold any extra value when the baseball oddsmakers get stingy with the scores. The short answer to that question is “No”. During that four-year span, games which were tagged with totals of 6.5 runs or fewer are 290-302-12 O/U, including a 47-44 O/U mark so far this season. However, breaking it down by exact total, there is a slight edge to the Over in MLB games with totals of six runs, producing a 50-40-12 O/U mark since 2011 (55 percent Over), and a 5-2 O/U this season.

It’s interesting to note that there is currently an uptick in games with sub-7 run totals during the 2014 season. So far, the current MLB schedule has featured 99 games with totals of 6.5 or shorter and we’re just wrapping up June. There were only 117 of those totals in 2013 (51-63-3 O/U) – including zero totals below six runs. Books posted 175 numbers of 6.5 or smaller in 2012 (85-86-4 O/U) and 213 of them in 2011 (101-107-5 O/U). Compare 2014’s current sub-7 total pace to the number of double-digit totals – 31 – in the first three months of the season and it’s easy to see that the pitching is the precedent in the modern major leagues.

The one team producing the lowest totals in 2014 are the San Diego Padres (25-50-4 O/U), who have been featured in 25 of the 99 games with totals of 6.5 or fewer. San Diego has posted a 13-15 Over/Under record in those games, with a 9-13 O/U mark inside Petco Park – which ranks 26th in ballpark factor (0.915). Thursday’s MLB schedule features one game with a total under seven runs – a 6.5-run total between St. Louis and Los Angeles with the Cardinals going with Adam Wainwright on the mound and the Dodgers handing the ball to Josh Beckett.

Note: There have been only 15 totals of 5.5 runs over the past four seasons (2011-2014). Those games have finished with a 8-7 Over/Under record.

Thursday's MLB Roundup
-- The Minnesota Twins promoted 20-year-old shortstop Jorge Polanco from Class A to the majors, the team announced Thursday. In 72 games with Class A Fort Myers, Polanco hit .289 (83-for-287) with 12 doubles, five home runs and 35 RBIs. Polanco, who was just named Florida State League Player of the Week, made 68 starts at shortstop and one at second base for Fort Myers. The Twins needed an infielder as shortstop Danny Santana is sidelined with left knee soreness. To make room for Polanco on the 25-man roster, the Twins optioned right-handed pitcher Yohan Pino to Triple-A Rochester. Pino made two starts for the Twins, posting a 6.30 ERA.

-- Boston Red Sox outfielder Shane Victorino, who was hoping he would return from his hamstring injury within the next week, had his rehab shut down with back soreness, according to reports. Victorino, 33, has been out since late May with the hamstring strain. He missed most of April with another hamstring strain. Victorino has battled numerous hamstring issues over the years but this is the first time his back is giving him a problem. In only 21 games between injuries, Victorino has hit .242 with one home run, 10 RBIs and two steals this season. He hit .294 with 15 homers, 61 RBIs and 21 steals in 122 games last season en route to the team's World Series title.

-- The Chicago White Sox designated left-handed pitcher Scott Downs for assignment and recalled left-hander Eric Surkamp from Triple-A Charlotte, the team announced Thursday. Surkamp, 26, has gone 3-4 with a 4.54 ERA in 73 1/3 innings, including 84 strikeouts in 14 games (11 starts) with Charlotte this season. This is his first year in the White Sox organization after being claimed off waivers from the San Francisco Giants on Dec. 23, 2013. Surkamp was 2-3 with a 7.36 ERA in seven starts with the Giants (2011, 2013). Downs, 38, went 0-2 with a 6.08 ERA in 23 2/3 innings, with 15 walks and 22 strikeouts in 38 games this season, his first with the Sox.

-- The Houston Astros called up right-hander Jose Veras from Triple-A Oklahoma City and designated for assignment veteran right-hander Kyle Farnsworth on Thursday. Veras, who was signed on June 15, hurled two scoreless innings on one hit while striking out four for Oklahoma City. He had been released by the Chicago Cubs five days earlier. Veras was 21 for 25 in save chances last year. The 38-year-old Farnsworth, who signed with Houston six weeks ago after being let go by the New York Mets, has surrendered six earned runs on nine hits in his last 5 1/3 innings. He is 0-3 with a 4.40 ERA in 28 2/3 innings this year.

-- Pittsburgh Pirates left fielder Starling Marte was not in the starting lineup for a second straight game after suffering concussion-like symptoms Tuesday night while sliding into second base in a game at Tampa Bay. The head and neck are no longer a problem, but Marte is still feeling the effects of a jammed right middle finger.

-- The New York Mets activated center fielder Juan Lagares from the 15-day disabled list before the game and optioned infielder Wilmer Flores to Triple-A Las Vegas. Lagares had been out since June 2 with a right intercostal strain.

-- Pirates left-hander Francisco Liriano had a 30-pitch bullpen session, the first time he had thrown off a mound since going on the disabled list on June 11 with a left oblique strain.

MLB weekend betting cheat sheet: Cardinals are Kershaw's Kryptonite

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

Brewers Best at the Midway Point

The Milwaukee Brewers reached the midway point of their season in style, defeating the Colorado Rockies 7-4 Thursday to improve to a National League-best 49-32. The Brewers lead the majors in money won at +$1,534 and have a 42-35-4 O/U record.

Toronto Averse to Big Totals

The Toronto Blue Jays (-165, 9.5) face another big total Friday as they face the visiting Chicago White Sox in the second of a four-game series. The Blue Jays have seen plenty of lofty numbers of late but have largely underwhelmed, going 3-11-1 O/U in their last 15 games with the total set at nine or higher.

Phenomenal Phil

The Minnesota Twins send Phil Hughes to the hill Saturday to face Yu Darvish and the Texas Rangers. Hughes enters Friday as the top money-winner in the majors at +$1,050, with the Twins going an impressive 11-4 in his 15 starts so far.

Kershaw's Kryptonite?

Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw will look to end a curious career trend Sunday as he faces the visiting St. Louis Cardinals. Kershaw is just 4-5 in 12 career starts, with a 3.75 ERA - his highest against any National League opponent.

Pitching Notes

* Arizona right-hander Brandon McCarthy has been bad news for the Diamondbacks, who are 2-14 in his 16 starts entering Friday's game against host San Diego (-133, 6.5). But both of those victories came against the Padres, who are coming off a no-hitter loss to San Francisco.

* San Francisco fans will undoubtedly be pleased that their Saturday tilt with visiting Cincinnati takes place under the lights. Reds starter Alfredo Simon is just 4-2 with a 4.01 ERA and 3-4 O/U in night starts this season, compared to a 6-1 mark with a 2.11 ERA and 1-7 O/U in afternoon action.

* Milwaukee hurler Yovani Gallardo appears to have turned things around entering Sunday's start against visiting Colorado. Gallardo has allowed just three runs - and zero homers - over his past four starts after surrendering 24 runs - and eight home runs - in his previous six outings.

Hitting Notes

* Brewers second baseman Scooter Gennett is having a month to remember, batting an even .400 so far in June entering Friday's encounter with the Rockies (+179, 9). Gennett has 11 RBIs over his previous nine games, during which Milwaukee is 7-2 SU and 6-2-1 O/U.

* It could be tough sledding for Houston hitters in their Saturday encounter with the host Detroit Tigers. Members of the Astros roster are hitting just .159 with 24 strikeouts in 69 at-bats against Tigers starter Max Scherzer.

* Chicago White Sox rookie Jose Abreu may find things difficult in Sunday's series finale with the Toronto Blue Jays. Abreu enters Friday hitting just .242 versus left-handed pitching, and will face one of the league's hottest southpaws in Toronto's Mark Buehrle.

Totals Streak

Colorado Rockies (6-1-1 O/U): How big is too big a total? That has been a difficult question to answer for oddsmakers who continue to struggle with the high-scoring Rockies; Colorado faced three totals of 11 or higher in a six-game stretch, and promptly went 2-0-1 O/U.

Prop of the Day

The Brewers are a strong bet at -4.5, paying +400 against a Rockies team that ranks last in the majors in team ERA (4.93).

Injury Notes

* An MRI on Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Hanley Ramirez's right shoulder revealed no structural damage, meaning he'll likely avoid a DL stint. The Dodgers are 6-2 SU, 2-6 O/U and +422 units in eight games without Ramirez so far in 2014.

* Colorado third baseman Nolan Arenado will take batting practice Friday as he continues to rehab a fractured left middle finger. The Rockies have scuffled in his absence, going 9-22 SU, 18-10-3 O/U and losing a whopping -1,185 units over that stretch.

* Washington outfielder Bryce Harper may return from a torn thumb ligament as soon as Monday. Harper has been on the disabled list since late-April with the injury; the Nationals are 28-26 SU, 22-27-5 O/U and -270 units in his absence.

WAG of the Day

Laura Posada is the wife of former New York Yankees catcher Jorge Posada.



Weather Watch

* Fans at The Ballpark in Arlington are in for some unusual weather Friday, with wind blowing in from center field at 17 mph for the game between the host Rangers (-133, 9.5) and Minnesota. Texas played just two games under similar conditions last season, with teams combining to hit a paltry .168.

* Wind at Wrigley Field will be blowing out to left field Saturday when the Cubs entertain the Nationals. Teams averaged a whopping 11.33 runs and three home runs under similar conditions a season ago, well above stadium averages.

Umpire Note of the Day

The home team is 8-0 in umpire Dale Scott's last eight Friday games behind home plate involving Colorado. That's bad news for the Rockies, who visit red-hot Milwaukee.

Friday's Tip Sheet
By Kevin Rogers


Red Sox at Yankees

Probable Pitchers:
BOS: Workman (1-0, 2.88 ERA)
NYY: Nuno (1-4, 5.88 ERA)

Previous series recap: The Red Sox continue their road trip but switch coasts after posting a 2-5 record at Oakland and Seattle. Boston did win the series finale at Safeco Field on Wednesday, but the Sox are 0-3 in their last three games off a road victory. The Yankees avoided a sweep at Toronto by beating the Blue Jays on Wednesday, 5-3 as short underdogs, as New York snapped a four-game skid.

What to watch for: New York has lost each of Nuno’s last six starts at home, while winning just two of his previous nine outings overall. Since May, the Sox are 1-8 in their past nine road series openers, with the only victory coming at Atlanta in which Boston rallied from a five-run deficit. This season, the Yankees own a 5-2 record against the Red Sox, including a 3-1 mark in the Bronx.

Athletics at Marlins

Probable Pitchers:
OAK: Chavez (6-4, 2.71 ERA)
MIA: DeSclafani (1-2, 7.59 ERA)

Previous series recap: The Athletics split a pair of interleague games with the Mets, capped off by an 8-5 victory at Citi Field on Wednesday as short favorites. The Marlins lost on a walk-off homer in extra-innings last night at Philadelphia to split a four-game set with the Phillies, as Miami is 0-6 in its last six games off a win.

What to watch for: Miami has been dynamic in interleague play this season with an 8-1 record, including a 4-1 mark against AL West foes. After winning eight of his first nine starts, the A’s have split the last six outings made by Chavez, but are 2-0 in his last two trips to the hill. Oakland is making its first trip to South Florida since 2003, as the two teams split six matchups in 2008 and 2011 at O.Co Coliseum.

Angels at Royals

Probable Pitchers:
LAA: Shoemaker (5-1, 3.42 ERA)
KC: Vargas (7-3, 3.16 ERA)

Previous series recap: The Royals haven’t been able to find the magic since a 10-game winning streak earlier this month, dropping six of their past six games. Kansas City was swept by Seattle at home, then lost two of three to the Dodgers, with the lone victory coming over former teammate and Cy Young winner Zack Greinke. The Angels, meanwhile, are on a roll after winning all six games on their recent homestand by sweeping the Rangers and Twins.

What to watch for: The Halos grabbed two of three matchups from the Royals in Anaheim last month, capped off by a late rally to stun Kansas City in the series finale, 4-3. Los Angeles has won each of Shoemaker’s last four starts, while allowing three runs in five innings the last time he faced the Royals in a 7-4 defeat. The Royals have dropped four of Vargas’ previous six home starts, while Kansas City is 2-6 in its last eight home series openers.

Indians at Mariners

Probable Pitchers:
CLE: Bauer (2-3, 4.40 ERA)
SEA: Young (6-4, 3.23 ERA)

Previous series recap: Seattle failed to pull off the sweep of Boston with a one-run loss on Wednesday, snapping a five-game winning streak for the M’s. The Indians ended a four-game losing streak in Wednesday’s 6-1 blowout of the Diamondbacks, splitting the two-game set in Arizona. Cleveland improved to 5-2 in the last seven games in the role as a road favorite, as the Tribe cashed as -130 ‘chalk.’

What to watch for: The Mariners lost five of seven matchups with the Indians last season, but won two of three meetings at Safeco Field. Since a five-game home losing streak earlier this month, the M’s have won five of their past six games at Safeco, while hitting the ‘over’ in the last three contests. In Bauer’s three road starts this season, the Indians have lost all three times, while Cleveland is 0-5 in its past five away series openers.

Reds at Giants

Probable Pitchers:
CIN: Cueto (7-5, 1.86 ERA)
SF: Bumgarner (9-4, 2.63 ERA)

Series recap: The Reds held off the Giants last night, 3-1 to cash as short favorites to pick up their fifth win in the previous six contests. San Francisco’s offense has plated just seven runs in the last four games, while scoring two runs or less three times on this current homestand.

What to watch for: Cueto continues to put up Cy Young numbers for the Reds, but Cincinnati has compiled a 9-7 record in his 16 starts. The Reds have won each of Cueto’s previous three outings, while Cincinnati is 10-3 in its past 13 road contests. The Giants have stumbled to a 4-12 record the last 16 games overall, while Bumgarner has failed to win each of his past two home starts against the Rockies and Nationals.

MLB

Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees

In a series never-lacking-for-hype the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox get it on in the Bronx this weekend. With Boston 1-3 last four in New York's back-yard, 2-5 on this current road swing, 4-12 away during the month of June platting a lowly 2.9 runs/game and 2-11 in road-series openers it's a challenge making a case for the Red Sox in the opener. However, this evening, Red Sox deal with Yankees pitcher Vidal Nuno. The left-hander hasn't won since May 7 and enters Friday on a two-game losing skid tagged for 5 long-ball, 13 runs over 9 1/3 innings of work. Nuno being 0-3 at home with a whopping 7.09 ERA along with a 1-6 TSR over 7 starts we'll roll the dice with Boston in this one.

Minnesota @ TEXAS

Minnesota/TEXAS over 9½ -106

(Risking 2.12 units - To Win: 2.00)

The Twins just got swept by the Angels but prior to that they had won four in a row. Overall, the Twinkies have scored four runs or more in seven straight games and that figures to continue here against Nick Tepesch. Tepsech posted decent skills in nearly 100 IP of work for Texas in 2013 but found himself in Triple-A after a rough spring. He returned to the rotation in May after Martin Perez went down and the follow-up has been less than inspiring. Tepsech's 4.30 ERA is not only a mirage, so was his 2013's strikeout rate growth, apparently. He doesn't have an over-powering arsenal, and it's reflected in a mediocre 7% swing and miss rate. He's been more wild this season as well, further compounding the damage of his strikeouts drop. He doesn't have a true "out" pitch either. Tepesch was able to utilize his height (6'4") to induce grounders in the past but that hasn't been the case this year, especially over his last six starts in ehich his groundball rate was a mere 35%. More fly-balls is something we love to see when playing overs at Globe Life Park. Although he's just 25, Tepesch's upside seems limited. A 50%/33% quality start/disaster start isn't great and those disasters are becoming more frequent. Tepesch has a 5.40 ERA at home this year, he has an xERA of 5.55 over his last five starts, his BB/K ratio is poor and his time at this level is running out.

Then there’s Kevin (Line Drive) Correia. That’s not his official nickname but let’s call him that because almost every ball hit off him is hit hard. Correia has 42 K’s in 84 innings and his low strikeout rate comes with a fully supported 5% swing and miss rate. Correia has surrendered one run or less in five of his last six starts but it was all lucks, as his 5.06 xERA over that span will attest to. Furthermore, all of those starts with the exception of one against Milwaukee came against the struggling offenses of Chicago (AL), Boston, the Yanks and Blue Jays. Incidentally, in that start against the Crew, Correia was ripped apart for 10 hits and five runs in five frames and in his other starts, his strand rate was 88%. Even with a run of good fortune that will not last, Correia’s ERA is still over 5, his WHIP is 1.46 and his oppBAA is .302. Imagine what will happen when his luck runs out and this park usually exposes the good fortune of bad pitchers. This is a beatable total because these are two of the worst starters in baseball hooking up at an extreme hitter’s park.


Boston @ N.Y. YANKEES

Boston -101 over N.Y. YANKEES

(Risking 2.02 units - To Win: 2.00)

Ask 30 GM's in the majors which starter they would rather invest in, Brandon Workman or Vidal Nuno, and all 30 would choose Workman without hesitation. We'll do the same. Nuno is pitching for the worst Yankees team in the last 15 years and the only reason the Yanks are above .500 is because the AL East is so weak this year. Nuno has started 12 games and has three pure quality starts and one victory. His 50 K's in 67 frames is not supported by his swing and miss rate of 7%. Nuno's swing and miss rate over his last three starts is 4½%. Nuno comes in with a 5.88 overall ERA and a 0-3 record at Yankee Stadium with an ERA of 7.09 and xERA of 6.49. Spotting even a small on the Yanks with Nuno going cannot be recommended.

Brandon Workman is so much better than Nuno right now. Workman is coming off a solid performance against the Indians at Fenway in which he went six full and gave up five hits and two earned runs. The start previously against the Orioles, he threw a one-hit gem in 6.2 innings. Over his past two starts, Workman has allowed just six hits and two earned runs in 12.2 innings while striking out 11 and walking three. In his five starts since being promoted, Workman has not allowed more than three earned runs in any start while posting a BB/K split of 12/28 in 34 innings. It's not his first rodeo either. Workman quietly was fantastic in the second half with Boston in 2013 with 10.2 K's/9 and a 45% groundball rate. Workman's stock is on the rise and now is the time to invest before that occurs. Workman and the Red Sox may be the best value on today's board.


L.A. Angels @ KANSAS CITY

L.A. Angels +100 over KANSAS CITY

(Risking 2 units - To Win: 2.00)

If this is the sucker play of the day shame on us. The Angels are red-hot with six straight wins and seven wins in their past eight games. Over that eight-game span the Halos have scored five runs or more in six games, which includes a 5-2 win over Yu Darvish and the Rangers. Additionally, the Angels have defeated the Royals six of the past seven meetings. Matt Shoemaker had four starts in May and made the most of his opportunities with 9K's per nine and a 50% groundball rate, Shoemaker's 3.16 xERA that month gave full support to his actual 3.38 ERA. Shoemaker was even better in June with a BB/K split of 4/31 over four starts covering 27 innings. With an elite 12% swing and miss rate to go along with his strong groundball profile and 2.80 xERA in June, Shoemaker is getting better with each passing month. Pitching for the hottest team in baseball doesn't hurt either.

Meanwhile, after an eye-opening 10-game winning streak the Royals have regressed badly with six losses in their past seven games. Over that span they have scored one run or less four times. Jason Vargas comes in with a solid 3.16 ERA over 16 starts but unlike Shoemaker, Vargas' ERA does not come with full skills support. In fact, Vargas has an xERA of 4.07 and an even worse xERA of 4.24 over his last five starts. Vargas has been greatly aided by an unsustainable 81% strand rate and a puny 2% HR/FB rate. Once that normalizes, his ERA will suffer. Vargas has good control but he only has 73 K's in 108 innings. He's good for 200 fair-to-middling, blandly consumed innings but he's not an ace and he's definitely not as good as his surface stats suggest. Hot versus cold gets the call.

Complimentary MLB Pick for June 27th, 2014

Game: St. Louis Cardinals @ Los Angeles Dodgers
Time: Friday 06/27 10:10 PM Eastern
Pick: St. Louis +132 (moneyline) at 5Dimes

The St. Louis Cardinals have gotten better pitching than any other team over the past 21 games. The Cardinals' staff has allowed 3 runs or less in 17 of their last 21 games, and those numbers are conducive to finding the win column rather frequently. They have also turned in five shutouts in the 21 games. The Dodgers have gotten great pitching of their own as they have allowed just 2.1 runs per game over their last 10. Carlos Martinez has had success as a starter, and last year out of the pen in the playoffs he limited LA to 1 hit in 4.1 innings of work. The Cards have been a top team off a loss where they are 35-16 in their last 51. Ryu has been strong on the hill for LA, but when he pitches on regular four days rest the Dodgers are just 3-7 in his last 10 starts. Go with the hot arms of the Cardinals.

Friday winner is a 50 Dime release on the Minnesota Twins and the Texas Rangers to go Over the total with Correia and Tepesch. At 7:30 am Vegas time, the total on this game is 9 1/2 over, -115. Both listed pitchers must start, or this is a NO play

Minnesota's pitching has been getting lit up over their last 4 games, as the Twins have allowed 25 runs in their past 4 outings, for a 3-0-1 Over mark. I see another Over tonight as they get the weekend started in Arlington against Texas.


The Rangers were just blanked at home yesterday by the Tigers, but their pitching has also been getting shelled lately, as Texas has allowed 64 runs to score in their last 10 games played. The Over stands at 5-3-1 their last 9 games contested by Texas.


Kevin Correia and Nick Tepesch are on the mound tonight, and while Correia has had a recent run of solid starts, I can easily see things getting away from him tonight. Remember, Correia's season ERA is over 5, and the Over is 8-6-1 when he starts this year.


Tepesch is the owner of a 4.38 season ERA, and it should be pointed out that the Over stands at 9-3 Texas' last dozen home games no matter who is on the hill.


This game will see perhaps a dozen runs scored, as the Over starts us off this weekend in Texas.

Bumgarner/Cueto
Both pitchers are having fine seasons. Cueto is pitching lights out for the Reds but in a game that should be low scoring I give the edge to the Giants bullpen which is much better than the Reds. In a tight low scoring game I favor the home team to tack on that late run against a weak bullpen. Take the Giants.

Kevin's Pick(s):
Another winner Thursday afternoon cashing on the Angels run line, although Minnesota gave us a scare in the 9th. An early play for me Friday in an afternoon game - the first of a day night double header.
2 UNIT = Tampa Bay Rays @ Baltimore Orioles - ORIOLES TO WIN (-151) *Game 1*
Listed Pitchers: Colome vs Gausman
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 1.32 units)

Kyle's Pick(s)
2 UNIT = Cincinnati Reds @ San Francisco Giants - UNDER 6.5 RUNS (-120)
Listed Pitchers: Cueto vs Bumgarner
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 1.67 units)
If I have to see another double play ball I'm going to vomit.
Actually, tonight I will be pleased to see plenty of double plays, unlike last night. Two of the better pitchers you're going to find in baseball will face off tonight in San Francisco. One stat that really jumped out at me when handicapping this game is how both teams have faired against right-handed and left-handed pitching recently. In their last five games the Reds are hitting only .125 against lefties. Bumgarner is one of the best in the business outside of Clayton Kershaw. Conversely, the Giants have hit only .204 against righties their last five games. That is a combined batting average of only .164. Cueto has been in the mix for a Cy Young, and with an ERA of only 1.86 I think he is a worthy candidate for that. He's been red-hot lately, and been hot all season long for that matter. His last three starts has yielded an ERA of 1.35 with a 1.10 WHIP and .284 OBP. The 1.10 WHIP and .284 OBP are actually a slow period for him, as his overall is 0.84 and .232. Cueto hasn't played the Giants since 2011. In that start he didn't give up a single run and allowed only 3 hits. Bumgarner faced the Reds recently on the 5th, there he was fantastic giving up just 1 run on 3 hits. He's been hot as well lately, entering Friday night with an ERA of only 2.45 and 1.05 WHIP. Look for it to be a pitching duel, so the UNDER 6.5 looks enticing to me here.

MLB Odds and Picks
By: Micah Roberts
Sportingnews

LAS VEGAS -- The historic Yankees-Red Sox rivalry is so heated that it will always have fans of each team feuding like the Hatfields and McCoys regardless of the standings. Tonight's matchup at Yankee Stadium will really test that theory as fourth-place Boston sits eight games out in AL East, while the third-place Yankees are three games out.

Things have changed in the AL East with Toronto and Baltimore in first and second, respectively, ahead of the perennial division bullies. The Yankees and Red Sox have combined to win eight World Series in the past 19 seasons, with New York making the playoffs 17 times and Boston 10 times in that span.

Both have been two of baseball’s elite teams the past two decades, and each time they hook up it’s a battle. But in the first of this three-game set, we get Boston's Brandon Workman against New York's Vidal Nuno. Neither starting pitcher inspires much confidence.

Nuno (1-4, 5.88 ERA) has been awful at Yankee Stadium this season and that may be putting it mildly. No starting pitcher has a worse home ERA than Nuno’s 7.09 mark. He’s gone 0-3 in seven starts and in his last two starts -- one at home and one on the road -- he’s achieved new levels of awful. In 9.1 innings against Baltimore and Oakland, he gave up 13 runs (12 earned) and served up five homers. The silver lining, if there is one, is that he only gave up 14 hits and three walks.

On the other side we have Workman (1-0, 2.88), who is making his first appearance since June 15 after serving a six-game suspension for throwing at Tampa Bay’s Evan Longoria. He’s actually been serviceable in his five starts since joining the rotation on May 25. The Red Sox have only won two of those starts, but he hasn’t allowed more than three runs in any of them. His best performance came on June 10 when he went 6.2 innings, allowing no runs and one hit at Baltimore in a 1-0 win, his only victory of the season.

Boston won, 5-4, on Wednesday at Seattle to improve to 2-5 on its current 10-game road trip. Meanwhile, the Yankees ended a four-game slide -- after winning four straight -- with a 5-3 win on Wednesday at Toronto. Neither of tonight’s starters have been a part of this long rivalry, and the Yankees have taken five of the first seven games against Boston this season.

Despite the Yankees losing four of Nuno’s past five starts and seven of his last 10, he still comes in as a -108 favorite because of Boston’s recent struggles. The total is set at 9, which may be the best angle to look at tonight. Even though only three of their hook-ups this season have gone OVER, Nuno wasn't involved in any of them. Take the OVER tonight.

Friday’s picks:

Red Sox (Workman) -102 at Yankees (Nuno)

Red Sox/Yankees OVER 9 (EV)

Angels (Matt Shoemaker) -103 at Royals

Mariners (Chris Young) -102 vs. Indians
