MLB betting cheat sheet: Price makes Detroit debut

Here's a comprehensive look at betting notes for the early-week major league games:

No Offense ...

The Atlanta Braves continued their dry spell Sunday, falling 4-3 in San Diego for their sixth consecutive loss. The Braves' offense has been dreadful on their six-game West Coast jaunt, scoring a total of 13 runs; despite the outage, Atlanta is 3-3 O/U on the trek thanks to low totals and decent pitching.

Simon Struggling

Cincinnati Reds hurler Alfredo Simon will look to get back on track Monday as he visits the Cleveland Indians (-194, 7) in an interleague showdown. Simon leads the majors in pitching value but is 0-3 since the All-Star break, with the Reds scoring just six runs in those three starts.

Price Makes Detroit Debut

David Price makes his first start in a Detroit uniform Tuesday as the Tigers face the host New York Yankees. Price, who was shipped to the Tigers in a blockbuster trade at the non-waiver deadline, went 7-2 SU and 2-7 O/U in his final nine starts with Tampa Bay - including a win over the Yankees.

Pitching Notes

* Oakland right-hander Jeff Samardzija has settled into a pair of trends as he leads the Athletics into Monday's showdown with the visiting Tampa Bay Rays (+126, 7). Samardzija is 3-0 in his last three starts - all as a major favorite - while going 3-0 O/U after producing just four Overs in his first 14 starts.

* Bet against Clayton Kershaw at your own risk. The Dodgers lefty enters Tuesday's matchup with the visiting Angels on an 11-game SU win streak, going 10-0 with a no-decision in that span while allowing more than one run just twice over that stretch.

Hitting Notes

* Baltimore Orioles outfielder Nelson Cruz enters Monday's game against host Washington (-137, 7) mired in an 8-for-73 slump that has dropped his average to .262 for the season. Fortunately for Cruz, Baltimore is 12-8 SU and 5-15 O/U in that stretch.

* New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner had a week to remember, hitting .478 with five home runs and seven RBIs. Gardner now has 15 home runs on the season, easily surpassing his previous career best of eight; the Yankees are 8-6 SU and 5-8-1 O/U when Gardner goes deep.

Totals Streak

Chicago White Sox (6-0 O/U): White Sox games have been rather entertaining of late, with the winning team scoring at least seven runs in each of them. That stretch includes four games in which teams combined to score 14 or more runs, highlighted by Sunday's 16-3 loss to Minnesota.

Prop of the Day

Bettors may want to consider taking the host Dodgers to defeat the rival Angels by more than two runs, a wager that stands at +325. Dodgers starter Zack Greinke is 6-1 with a 2.52 ERA in nine home starts, while Angels counterpart Garrett Richards has allowed four runs in each of his last two outings.

Injury Notes

* The Arizona Diamondbacks have lost first baseman Paul Goldschmidt for the season with a broken hand. Goldschmidt, the defending National League MVP runner-up, finishes the year hitting .300 with 19 home runs and 69 RBIs in 406 at-bats.

* Colorado Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez is expected to avoid the disabled list as he continues nursing a sore right ankle. Gonzalez has missed 44 games this season with a variety of ailments; the Rockies are 16-28 SU, 21-17-6 O/U and -993 units in those contests.

Weather Watch

* Fans at Yankee Stadium should expect winds out to left field at 8 mph for Monday's game against visiting Detroit (-119, 7.5). Teams combined to average a whopping 3.6 home runs in five games under similar conditions a season ago - well above the stadium average of 2.06.

* Wind at Citizens Bank Park will blow out to straightaway center field at 5 mph Tuesday when the Philadelphia Phillies host the Houston Astros. The hosts went 7-13 SU and 12-7-1 O/U in 20 games under similar conditions in 2013, including marks of 5-6 SU and 5-5-1 O/U at less than 10 mph.

** Odds, stats, weather forecast and probable pitchers as of 11:20 a.m. ET Monday.

Marlins ice cold at PNC Park
Stephen Campbell

PNC Park has not been friendly territory for the Miami Marlins recently. In their last six games against the Pittsburgh Pirates in the Steel City, the Fish are 0-6 through Monday. The Bucs host Miami once again Tuesday.

The Pirates are presently -155 favorites with an O/U of 7.5, per BetOnline (http://www.betonline.ag/).

Yanks, Tigers love high totals
Stephen Campbell

When the New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers have gotten together recently there hasn't been any shortage of runs. In the last seven meetings between the two clubs, the O/U is 5-1-1 through Monday.

They'll renew acquaintances in the Bronx Tuesday evening. BetOnline (http://www.betonline.ag/) currently lists the Tigers as -134 faves with a total of 7.5.

Mercury have gone cold for bettors in last two games
Andrew Avery

The Phoenix Mercury are still the top bet against the spread in the WNBA, but they've gone a little cold at the betting window of late.

Following a sensational 11-game winning streak ATS, Mercury backers have been left frustrated, tearing up tickets in the past two games. They failed to covers as 1-point faves at Minnesota and as 11-point faves versus Indiana.

Still, the Mercury are 19-7-1 ATS and bettors will look for another win Tuesday. Books have the Mercury as 8-point home faves with the Atlanta Dream in town Tuesday evening.

River City Sharps

3 Units Houston Astros -120

The Houston Astros are all of a sudden scoring runs in bunches...meanwhile, the Philadelphia Phillies are as offensively challenged as ever. The Astros won three of four games vs. the Blue Jays this weekend, outscoring Toronto 17-4 in the process. The Phillies haven't scored a single run in their last 21 innings! The Astros give the ball to their ace, Dallas Keuchel (10-7, 2.97) and he will be opposed by Kyle Kendrick (5-11, 4.92) for the Phillies. There are lots of signs here tonight pointing us towards the road favorite. For starters, Kendrick has been positively awful for the Phillies lately and was hammered by the Mets in his last start, an 11-2 loss. He has also struggled vs. the Astros historically, posting a 1-3 career mark with a 5.33 ERA against Houston. On the trends side, an interesting nugget here is that the Phillies have not returned well from an off day. They are 2-8 in their last 10 games following an off day and they are just 8-17 in Kendrick's last 25 starts as the dog. The Astros are playing pretty good baseball right now and we expect more of the same tonight in Philly.

Game of the Day: Angels at Dodgers

Los Angeles Angels. at Los Angeles Dodgers (-228, 6.5)

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw aims to maintain his run of dominance when he puts a personal 10-game winning streak on the line Tuesday at home against the Los Angeles Angels. Kershaw has thrown four complete games in his last eight starts, including a gem against Atlanta on Thursday, when he let up a run and struck out nine in a 2-1 victory. The National League Pitcher of the Month for June and July has yielded only three runs in 41 frames over his last four home outings.

Although he rarely needs much run support, Kershaw will hope for a bit more than the Dodgers could muster in a 5-0 loss in Monday’s series opener. The Angels got a home run from Josh Hamilton and a five-hit shutout from Garrett Richards to win for the 13th time in their last 20 games at Dodger Stadium. The victory kept the Angels one game behind first-place Oakland in the American League West, while the Dodgers saw their lead in the N.L. West reduced to 1 1/2 games over San Francisco.

TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, MLB Network, FSN West (Angels), SNET (Dodgers)

LINE HISTORY: The Dodgers opened as -240 favorites, but have moved to as ow as -215 before currently sitting at -228. The total is currently at 6.5.

POWER RANKINGS: Los Angeles Angles: -201, Los Angeles Dodgers -193

INJURY REPORT: N/A.

WHAT BOOKS SAY: “Since Kershaw is on the mound for the Dodgers, we expect this to be our biggest decision of day. Under will probably be a very popular play as Santiago has a 2.21 ERA in his last three starts.” Mike Perry, Sportsbook.ag.

WHAT CAPPERS SAY: “A pair of left-handed starters on the mound Tuesday night and the Angels have fared much better offensively this season against southpaws compared to the Dodgers. Entering this week, the Angels were averaging 5.3 runs per nine innings with a .286 team batting average on the road versus LHP, while the Dodgers were averaging only 2.6 runs and batting just .217 at home against southpaws this season.” Steve Merril

PITCHING MATCHUP: Angels LH Hector Santiago (3-7, 3.76 ERA) vs. Dodgers LH Clayton Kershaw (13-2, 1.71)

Santiago has allowed only one run in 15 innings over his last four appearances, two of which have been out of the bullpen. He is 1-7 with a 4.16 ERA in 14 starts, limiting opponents to 65 hits in 71 1/3 innings. The 26-year-old, who owns a 2.75 ERA in 11 career interleague contests (four starts), has thrown just 1 1/3 innings in his career versus the Dodgers.

Kershaw entered the series leading the National League in ERA, WHIP (0.82), strikeouts per nine innings (11.13) and strikeout-to-walk ratio (10.00), which is nearly twice that of second-place Jordan Zimmermann (5.76) of Washington. He has 104 strikeouts against only eight walks since the beginning of June. The two-time Cy Young Award winner is 2-2 with a 3.74 ERA in five career starts against the Angels, surrendering seven runs (six earned) in six frames in his previous encounter in 2011.

TRENDS:

* Under is 7-1 in the last eight meetings at the Dodgers.
* Under is 12-3-1 in the last 16 meetings.
* Angels are 16-7 in the last 23 meetings.
* Angles are 9-4 in the last 13 meetings at the Dodgers.

CONSENSUS: Fifty-eight percent of wagers are on the Dodgers at -228.

Money Line: +126 Texas Rangers

This game has the 43-69 Rangers and the 55-58 White Sox. Rangers got his hard bye injurys but they are the better team I believe overall. Rangers have lost 4 straight and Colby Lewis has struggled on the mound this season but I look for him to turn it around tonight. John Danks is on the mound for the White Sox and he is no Sandy Koufax and should never be laying this much juice. only 27% are backing the Rangers here yet this line has moved around 15 cents the wrong way showing us sharp action on the Rangers side. Take the Rangers for a 10* dog play straight.

Who's Hot - AL
By Mike Rose
VegasInsider

There are only around 50 games left in the baseball's regular season, and it's tough to believe that the campaign has gone by this quickly. MLB betting fanatics have certainly been having a field day with some of the American League teams this year, and these are the three who have given you the most bang for your buck.

Baltimore Orioles (63-48, +$2,029) – We're not really all that sure how the O's are doing all of this. They really haven't gotten much this year out of J.J. Hardy or Chris Davis or Manny Machado, yet they still rank second in the league in home runs (thank you, Nelson Cruz) and 12th in run production on average. There isn't a legitimate ace pitcher on this team, and though Zach Britton has been good in relief, the rest of this bullpen is only so-so. Then again, maybe that's why the oddsmakers keep making Baltimore a dog on the road! Logic would tell you that the Orioles really shouldn't be able to win the AL East this year, but they really could. They're 33-23 on the road this year, and virtually all of the damage they have done for bettors has come away from Camden Yards. Winning those close games is what really makes the difference, especially on the road. Baltimore is doing just that.

Los Angeles Angels (67-44, +$1,538) – The Tigers went out and got David Price, and the A's have been doing all they can to go pitcher for pitcher with every team in the American League (more on them in a minute). Yet it's the Angels who are really flying high at the moment as the second best money team in the AL West. The Halos are just a game back of Oakland for the best record in baseball, and there is no doubt that they have the horses to get the job done. Sending out there Jered Weaver and Garrett Richards in the first two games of any short series is as good as anything that any team will be able to do, but beyond that, we have our concerns. The difference? Los Angeles can mash with any team in the game.

Oakland Athletics (68-43, +$1,053) – Pitching wins in the postseason, and that's why the A's have completely reworked their rotation. They have Jon Lester and Jeff Samardzija to build up the top of that rotation for the playoffs, and Sonny Gray as a third option isn't too shabby either. Our concern? How much will giving up Yoenis Cespedes really end up costing Oakland come the postseason? It's not often that you see a team give up its leadoff hitter in a trade to try to get better, but the Athletics did just that. They've still statistically got one of the best offenses in the league, but can it hold up? This pitching will do what it can otherwise, but there's still a long road ahead yet for Oakland.

HOUSTON ASTROS -110
(Keuchel/Kendrick)

For starters this Phillies team is in a bad spot. From top to bottom this lineup has been as poor as you can get and they will be facing an Astros team that might have one of the most underrated pitchers in all of baseball in Dallas Keuchel. The Phillies are not putting up runs while the Astros are. This is not a good Philadelphia team and the fans have had about enough of them including the management who decided to not make any moves at the trade deadline. Take Houston.

Baltimore +101 over TORONTO


The Blue Jays have been extremely streaky so when they’re hot, they’re hot and when they’re cold, they’re freezing, which happens to be right now. The Blue Jays won the opener of a three-game series in Houston but subsequently lost the final three games of that series and were outscored 17-4 in the process. More disturbing, however, is the Jays inability to produce against two of the worst starters (Brad Oberholtzer and Scott Feldman) in the majors in the final two games of that series. When the Jays went cold back in June, they went cold for practically the entire month and appear headed in that direction again. Now they’ll face Bud Norris. Norris injured his groin on June 21 while pitching against the Yanks and missed a couple of starts. He has had a steady 2014 season thus far, with a 50%/0% dominant start/disaster start split. He’s also been sharp since returning with 20 K’s in his last 23 innings and a nice 47%/29% groundball/fly-ball split. Norris has a swing and miss slider, outstanding control and while his K is down on the year, it’s been creeping up lately.


Baltimore’s win yesterday may have been one of the most impressive of the season. After a three-game set against the Mariners on the weekend, the O’s had to play a make-up game against the first place Nats in Washington yesterday for one game before this huge three-game series with the second place Jays. The O’s fell behind twice and we’re trailing 3-1 in the seventh before going off for six answered in a 7-3 victory. Instead of “looking ahead” to this important series they responded with a focused effort and the task at hand. That gives you an idea of the mindset and determination of the Orioles. More importantly, the O’s went off for 14 hits and that’s the first time in their past 16 games that they had 10 or more hits in a game. They could easily duplicate that against Mark Buehrle. Since opening the year on an 8-1 tear with a low ERA, Buehrle has gone 3-7 since. His ERA is still low at 3.11 but it’s still a mirage. His base skills profile him as a mid-4 ERA pitcher. Buehrle has just 82 K’s in 142 innings to go along with a WHIP of 1.33. A 79% strand rate and 6% hr/f are the only reasons he has a helpful ERA and we can assure more of those fly-balls he surrenders are going to leave the yard in the final seven weeks of the season and we’re all over it.




Boston +140 over ST. LOUIS


The Red Sox will play out the string in the role of the spoiler and it would come as no surprise if they thrived in that role. This is an extremely dangerous offense that can go off at any time and they certainly have a chance to do that against Lance Lynn. Lynn’s 2.98 ERA is almost a full run higher than his xERA of 3.81. He’s posted a 1.96 ERA over his last three starts but an alarming 44% line-drive rate over that span reveals a ton of hard hit balls right at people. Lynn is also walking far too many batters and has now issued 52 free passes in 133 innings and 12 over his past 26 innings. Lynn is living on the edge with his 84% strand rate since the beginning of June but when a pitcher is giving up line drives and walks, disaster is waiting in the not too distant future.


Rubby De la Rosa had a really rough July, both on the surface (5.32 ERA, 1.68 WHIP) and beneath it: 2.9 K’s/9, 3.3 BB/9, 44% groundball rate. However, with mid-90s heat, a potentially impact changeup, and an ability to induce groundballs, De La Rosa has the tools to become an impact starter. He's a work-in-progress to be sure but he also has the ability to dazzle. Facing a weak hitting NL team in a favorable park may just be the recipe he needs right now to get back on track. What we know for sure is that Lynn is an overvalued pitcher, which provides us with this a nice buy-low/sell-high opportunity.




N.Y. Mets +147 over WASHINGTON


The Nationals are not the same team with Ryan Zimmerman on the rack. Zimmerman is on the DL and with him the lineup the Nationals are 33-19 this season. Without him they are just 28-32 but over their past 27 games without him, Washington is just 9-18. Gio Gonzalez missed a month from mid-May to mid-June and it appears that more trouble is brewing. Gonzalez has failed to make it out of the fourth inning in two of his past three starts. Gonzalez had a coming out party during his inaugural season in Washington with a sub-3.00 ERA and 21 wins. However, he's struggled at times since then and he's flirting with a .500 record and a very ordinary ERA as the season enters the stretch drive. Gonzalez is issuing more walks, he’s giving up more hits and he’s not lasting deep into games.


Zach Wheeler offers up nothing but value at this price. Wheeler has posted outstanding skills in two separate months (April and July). His skills in July featured excellent command and a continued groundball tilt. Overall, Wheeler has posted an elite 53% groundball rate. He has 125 K’s in 128 innings and his swing and miss rate in July was also elite at 11%. Only two starters in the NL had a higher four-seam fastball velocity than Wheeler's 94.7 mph fastball in July; Wily Peralta (95.5 mph) and Stephen Strasburg (95.1 mph). Wheeler is a future ace with major breakout potential but he’s not being priced as such, which makes him a must play in this range. Definite overlay.




Tampa Bay +116 over OAKLAND


Despite being issued nine free passes by the Rays pitching last night, the A’s scored just three runs and two of them came on seeing-eye singles. Oakland has been struggling miserably at the plate recently and they are hitting just .242 against lefties this year, which ranks 27th out of the 30 MLB teams. Lefty Drew Smyly began to piece things together as a starter with Detroit in July. Smyly has always had great stuff but the transition from reliever to starter has been a slow one. When you’re the main piece in a trade for David Price, it says something. Smyly has 19 K’s over his past 17.2 innings. His combination of a 10% swing and miss rate and 65% first pitch strike rate gives his underlying skills strong support. No question that Smyly will be a little extra jacked up here in his first start with his new team.


Meanwhile, Jason Hammel has had a terrible time since joining the A's, going 0-4 in four starts, with a 9.53 ERA, 2.12 WHIP and 12/10 K/BB. This after going 8-5 with a 2.98 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP in 17 starts with the Cubs. It hasn't been bad luck that has derailed Hammel since arriving in Oakland, as his plummeting skills are to be blamed. Should we be surprised at Hammel’s struggles in his new digs? The answer is a resounding no. The A’s are Hammel’s fourth team in eight years. In 2012 he posted a 3.43 ERA with the Orioles but his other years saw him post ERA’s of 7.77, 6.14, 4.60, 4.81, 4.97 and 4.33. That 2012 ERA and first half with the Cubbies this year looks like a blind squirrel finding a nut. Hammel’s history says it all. He’s an average pitcher with average stuff that has never thrived for an extended period of time. That first win (with his new team) becomes more elusive with each loss and it’s safe to say that Hammel is not very comfortable in his new surroundings. Hammel is starter to avoid rightnow, especially when spotting a tag.

967 Houston Astros @ 968 Philadelphia Phillies

(Starting Pitchers: D. Keuchel vs. K. Kendrick)

Probably, this might be the first time I’ll ride the Astros on the road being favored by the Sportsbooks, but we have some good factors working in their favor.

Dallas Keuchel made 3 decent starts since the All Star break has his 3.00 FIP + 3.33 xFIP can attest. He had some outstanding numbers vs. LH batters w/ .244 BA + .280 wOBA + 2.69 FIP + 2.47 xFIP and for tonight, PHI’s lineup is loaded w/ LH batters:

1. Ben Revere (L) CF
2. Jimmy Rollins (S) SS
3. Chase Utley (L) 2B
4. Ryan Howard (L) 1B
5. Marlon Byrd (R) RF
6. Carlos Ruiz (R) C
7. Darin Ruf (R) LF
8. Cody Asche (L) 3B
9. Kyle Kendrick (R) P

In my opinion, Keuchel has a good spot to perform quite well tonight.

On the other end, PHI’s SP Kendrick is coming from another subpar performance, this time against the offensively challenged NYM offense. He had the awful mark of 4.97 FIP + 5.32 xFIP in that game! HOU offense has been decent for quite some time. I have ranked them #10 in L30 days and therefore, I expect Kendrick’s struggles to carry on for this contest.

'Freeway Series'

The first game of the Freeway Series did not go well for Dodgers as they were spanked 5-0 moving the mark to 7-16 the past twenty-three encounters with Halos (8-15 O/U). According to the current betting odds, Los Angeles is a -$2.40 home favorite. That whopping nod by the oddsmaker is due to the success of the LA starter. That pitcher is Clayton Kershaw, with the left-hander sporting a 13-2 record, miniscule 1.71 ERA and who is undefeated in eleven trips to the hill. The Dodgers' have not only flourished in the month of August with Kershaw (13-5), they're on a sparkling 6-0 stretch when he pitches in front of the friendly crowd at Dodger Stadium, a smart 7-3 in his last ten home starts following a team loss the previous effort. Kershaw matches pitches with Halos' left-hander Hector Santiago, carrying a 3-7 record, 3.76 ERA over 14 starts, 5 relief appearances. Although, Halos are 0-5 in their last 5 road games facing a lefty, 5-9 recently away vs a winning team, Dodgers 6-2 last 8 at home vs a winning team a pricey home favorite in baseball betting is always risky, so a run line (1 1/2, -$1.05) is the safest choice here.

Cincinnati Reds at Cleveland Indians 7:05PM

5* Cincinnati Reds

Great line value backing the Reds behind Johnny Cueto tonight in Cleveland, as the Reds look to bounce back after being shut down by Cleveland ace Corey Kluber last night. The Indians won that game 7-1 - scoring early and never letting the Reds into the game. Tonight, however, it's the Reds that have the red hot pitcher on the mound and we can't pass up Cincy at this price.

Cueto comes in with a fantastic 2.15 ERA and even more impressive is his 0.910 WHIP through 23 starts. And it's not like he's slowing down at all, holding opponents to 3 earned runs or less in each of his last ten starts. Cleveland's Josh Tomlin threw a complete-game, one-hit shutout back in late June, but the Indians have lost his next four starts since. 5* Play on Cincinnati.

One has to wonder why Cincinnati would be an underdog considering that tonight’s starter Johnny Cueto statistically has been among the National League best throughout the campaign. The key to this pick surround Cincinnati MANAGER Bryan Price who following last night’s road loss actually CALLED OUT his team claiming that their collective effort and mental concentration were quote “unacceptable”. According to their skipper the Reds were not ready to play last night as some baserunners forgot how many outs there were in an inning while the starting pitcher forgot to cover firstbase on an obvious defensive play. One can assume that Price’s message has gotten through to the various Cincinnati personnel and the team came into this rivalry Interleague series with a large advantage. While Cleveland has committed the most errors in all of baseball, Cincinnati has committed the fewest defensive errors in the entire National League. Due to a trade deadline deal that saw former rotation ace Justin Masterson leave the team, the Indians have replaced him with tonight’s starter Josh Tomlin (lofty 6.45 ERA in the past four major league assignments). In his most recent mound appearance which was in the minors, Tomlin permitted multiple homeruns which to me is a “red flag”
