Game of the Day: Blue Bombers at Argonauts

Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Toronto Argonauts (Pick, 50)

The Toronto Argonauts could not have imagined they would still hold sole possession of the top spot in the CFL's East Division after enjoying a much-needed bye week. But that's exactly where they sit - despite struggling to a 2-4 start - as they prepare to face the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in a rare Tuesday night affair at the Rogers Centre. The Blue Bombers come in looking for answers after dropping a 23-17 home decision to Saskatchewan on Thursday.

The Argonauts have been the best of a remarkably bad bunch so far, with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Ottawa Renegades and Montreal Alouettes all losing their Week 7 games to remain in a three-way tie for second at 1-5. The Blue Bombers, meanwhile, share the top spot in the West with Calgary and Edmonton but will look to break the deadlock while hoping to improve to 4-0 on the road. Winnipeg opened the season with a 45-21 home victory over Toronto.

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, TSN

LINE HISTORY: bet365 (http://www.bet365.com/) opened this game as a Pick with a total of 50.

INJURY REPORT: Blue Bombers - SB Nick Moore (Questionable, foot), Argonauts - SB Andre Durie (Indefinitely, collarbone), SB Jason Barnes (Indefinitely, knee), SB Chad Owens (Indefinitely, foot).

WHAT CAPPERS SAY: "I noted the Bombers were in a tough spot at home last week against Saskatchewan and they ultimately fell by a 23-17 score. Things won't get any easier this week as they head to Toronto to face an Argos squad that has renewed confidence off a blowout win - not to mention a bye week. The West has dominated the East thus far, but we may see roles reverse for one night." Covers Expert Sean Murphy.

ABOUT THE BLUE BOMBERS (5-2): Winnipeg's impressive showing masks a significant concern centered around the team's non-existent run game. Nic Grigsby finished with seven yards on 10 carries in the loss to the Roughriders, the latest in a string of unimpressive performances that has first-year coach Mike O'Shea concerned. "It's never one thing," he told the Winnipeg Sun. "That's the issue, is generally a few mistakes on the same play that cost us, that allow us to get caught in the backfield."

ABOUT THE ARGONAUTS (2-4): The Toronto passing game has struggled mightily in 2014, but the blame can hardly be placed on the shoulders of quarterback Ricky Ray. The Argonauts have just two players ranked in the top 20 in receiving yardage through the first seven weeks - and both players are out of the lineup due to injury. Star wideout Chad Owens is still recovering from a mid-foot injury and isn't expected back until early September, while running back Anthony Coombs is out indefinitely with a shoulder ailment that may require surgery.

TRENDS:

* Over is 4-1 in the last five meetings.
* Argonauts are 2-6 ATS in their last eight games overall.
* Under is 6-1 in Argonauts last seven games in Week 8.
* Blue Bombers are 9-19 ATS in their last 28 meetings in Toronto.

COVERS CONSENSUS: 51.52 percent of wagers on Covers Consensus are backing the visiting Blue Bombers.

MLB betting cheat sheet: Road warrior Adam

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

'Dogs Have Their (Sun)Day

The underdog play was a strong one on a weird Sunday in the major leagues. Underdogs went a staggering 10-5 SU, a trend that included victories by Minnesota (+162), the Chicago Cubs (+144), Toronto (+144) and Colorado (+143).

Felix + Fatigue = ?

The Blue Jays could be in tough Monday night as they open a three-game series against Felix Hernandez and the Seattle Mariners (-194, 6.5). Toronto made the cross-continental trip after playing 19 innings against Detroit on Sunday, and that fatigue factor could push the line higher in favor of Seattle.

Road Warrior Adam

St. Louis Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright will look to continue his road dominance Tuesday as he faces the Marlins in Miami. Wainwright has been one of the best pitchers away from his home park this season, going 9-3 with a 1.32 ERA and just one home run allowed over 95 2/3 innings.

Pitching Notes

* Detroit Tigers right-hander Justin Verlander will try to cure his recent road woes Monday as he tangles with the host Pittsburgh Pirates (+102, 7.5). Verlander is 1-4 SU in his last five starts away from Comerica Park, though he has recorded five straight Unders in that span.

* Interleague play has agreed with Chicago White Sox lefty Chris Sale, who faces the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night. Sale is perfect in 14 apperances (six starts) against the National League, going 3-0 with a 2.52 ERA and 60 strikeouts over 53 2/3 innings.

Hitting Notes

* Philadelphia second baseman Chase Utley will be at a decided disadvantage Monday as he faces off against Jonathon Niese and the New York Mets (-118, 8). Utley has just three hits - all singles - in 28 career at-bats against Niese.

* A pair of Chicago Cubs are looking forward to Tuesday's matchup with Milwaukee Brewers hurler Wily Peralta. Starlin Castro is 10-for-21 with a pair of home runs in his career versus Peralta, while Anthony Rizzo is 8-for-19 with four homers and nine RBIs.

Totals Streak

New York Mets (5-1-2 O/U): The Mets continue to be the league's pushiest team - leading the majors with 13 - but have become a strong Over play of late, having allowed five or more runs in four of their last eight games. New York is 52-53-13 O/U for the season.

Prop of the Day

The Mariners are +325 to win by more than three runs, and Hernandez alone makes this a viable betting option. The sensational right-hander has made 15 consecutive starts of seven innings or more with two earned runs or fewer allowed - a major-league record.

Injury Notes

* St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina has had the cast removed from his surgically-repaired right thumb and can begin light baseball-related activities. The Cardinals are 12-12 SU, 15-9 O/U and -68 units since Molina suffered the thumb injury just over a month ago.

* The Minnesota Twins will activate Joe Mauer from the disabled list in time for the opener of a three-game set Monday against the host Houston Astros (+101, 8.5). Mauer has missed the last 34 games with a strained oblique; the Twins are 14-20 SU, 16-18 O/U and -330 units in his absence.

Weather Watch

* Fans at Citizens Bank Park will be treated to winds blowing out to left field at 11 mph for Monday's showdown between Philadelphia and the visiting Mets. Philadelphia went 6-1 SU and 2-4-1 O/U in seven games under similar conditions a season ago.

* Citi Field will see wind blowing out to left field at 11 mph for Tuesday's showdown between host New York and the Washington Nationals. Teams combined to average 2.04 home runs in 26 games with the wind blowing out to left in 2013 - above the stadium average of 1.84.

CFL Betting Recap - Week 7
By Joe Williams


League Betting Notes

Favorites went 4-0 straight up in Week 7
Favorites went 4-0 ATS in Week 7
Home/road teams posted a 2-2 SU record in Week 7
Home/road teams posted a 2-2 ATS record in Week 7
The 'over' went 3-1 in Week 7

Team Betting Notes

For the second consecutive week, the 'over' went 3-1 in CFL play. That's 6-2 over the past two weeks, and the 'under' was 15-5 in Weeks 1 through 5.

For the first time all season Edmonton (5-1) saw the 'over' cash in its game on the road against lowly Montreal (1-5). The Eskimos have now covered three of the past four.

The Alouettes are in a world of hurt. While they're just one game out of first place in the awful East Division, they have failed to cover four in a row, and five of six overall this season.

After stumbling last week at home, Calgary (5-1) took out its frustrations on expansion Ottawa (1-5). The Stamps have alternated covers in each of the past five, and they're 4-2 ATS overall this season. The 'over' also hit for the second game in a row after the 'under' was 4-0 in the first four weeks for Calgary.

After a 1-2 SU/ATS start, the defending Grey Cup champions from Saskatchewan (4-2) have rattled off three consecutive wins and covers. Next up is a home game against the Alouettes, so things are looking up in Regina.

Winnipeg (5-2) occupied first place for a week, but they slipped up against the Roughriders, 23-17. The 'under' has now hit in three of the past four for the Blue Bombers after the 'over' was 3-0 in their first three.

Looking ahead to Week 8, Toronto (2-4) returns from a bye to face Winnipeg in rare Tuesday action. The Blue Bombers pasted the Argos 45-21 back on June 26 at home, but this one will be at Rogers Centre in Toronto.

Yankees rotation to receive boost with return of Pineda Wednesday
By THE SPORTS XCHANGE

BALTIMORE -- Injuries have cost the Yankees four starting pitchers this season and hurt the team badly. But New York's finally getting some good news on that front as right-hander Michael Pineda will return.

The Yankees confirmed Monday that Pineda is going to be activated from the disabled list to start on Wednesday against the Orioles. Pineda has been on the DL since May 6 due to right shoulder muscle problems and, after two rehab starts, he's coming back.

"We wanted to make sure that he was ready, that we felt he was ready, that he felt that he was ready," New York manager Joe Girardi said. "We feel he's ready now."

Girardi said they're going to watch Pineda's pitch count at first. In this start, they're going to limit the right-hander to 85-90 pitches.

Pineda brings a 2-2 record and a 1.83 ERA after a rocky start to the season. He was suspended for trying to use pine tar while pitching in a game versus Boston on April 23, which got him ejected from that contest.

The right-hander suffered his injury during the subsequent 10-day suspension that Major League Baseball gave him for the incident.

The Yankees need better starting pitching if they want to have any shot at catching the Orioles or making the American League playoffs.

"I feel good about him taking the mound," Girardi said. "We need him to pitch well."

'Nats in bounce back mode'

Washington dropping their finale of a three game set in Atlanta Sunday night look to get back into the win column when they visit New York Mets. Matt Williams' troops have Doug Fister toeing the rubber carrying a 11-3 record on the campaign with a 2.49 ERA over 16 starts (12-4 TSR). Fister's last start was a dominating one, allowing just one run over 7 1/3 innings in a win over these same Mets. Washington is certainly in good hands. Fister knows how to follow up a strong performance with another stellar effort. When allowing two or less runs in his previous start, the Nationals are 8-3 in his subsequent appearance on the mound. Adding to that betting nugget, Nationals are 7-3 with Fister following a team loss in their previous effort, 7-3 in his ten starts under the light's. This being a road game against the Metropolitans should get the attention of bettors keeping close tabs on Washington. The Nationals are already 3-0 this season at Citi Field and have won 18 of 22 as visitor in this series. Taking road favorite can be a risky proposition, though in this case, the amount of supporting data in favor of Washington makes it much less risky.

Happ. He can certainly be enigmatic but when he is on he can dominate and he has had great success against the Mariners’ biggest bat, Robinson Cano. In his last game out he had his best start of the season striking out 12 Orioles.

In a spot where the Jays need him again I think he can rise to the occasion and be good value.

Tuesday's Tip Sheet
By Kevin Rogers
VegasInsider

Yankees at Orioles

Probable Pitchers:
NYY: Greene (3-1, 2.89 ERA)
BAL: Chen (12-4, 3.90 ERA)

Series recap: Baltimore improved to 12-0 in its last 12 games off a loss with Monday’s 11-3 rout of New York as -120 home favorites. The Yankees have dropped three straight games, while scoring just four runs in this stretch.

What to watch for: The Orioles have won seven of 10 meetings with the Yankees this season, including a 3-1 mark at Camden Yards. New York is 3-0 in Greene’s three road starts this season, while winning at Baltimore in mid-July, allowing four hits in seven scoreless innings. Baltimore owns a 5-1 record in Chen’s past six outings, while the southpaw won at Yankee Stadium in early April as a short underdog.

Tigers at Pirates

Probable Pitchers:
DET: Ray (1-1, 4.70 ERA)
PIT: Volquez (9-7, 3.70 ERA)

Series recap: Following Sunday’s 19-inning marathon loss at Toronto, Detroit expectedly came out flat in last night’s 11-6 defeat at Pittsburgh as a short favorite. The Pirates jumped out to an 8-1 lead after two innings on Monday, as Pittsburgh scored just five runs in its entire three-game series against San Diego this past weekend.

What to watch for: The Tigers own a 2-6 record so far on their current road trip, with one of those wins coming in extra innings against the Yankees and the other victory in Toronto in which Detroit rallied for three runs in the ninth inning. The Pirates are 7-1 in Volquez’s past eight outings, while Pittsburgh has grabbed four straight meetings with Detroit since last season.

Dodgers at Braves

Probable Pitchers:
LAD: Haren (9-9, 4.57 ERA)
ATL: Minor (4-7, 5.42 ERA)

Series recap: The Dodgers scored six late runs to take care of the Braves in the series opener on Monday, 6-2 as +165 road underdogs. Los Angeles has won all four matchups with Atlanta this season, while posting a 7-1 record against the Braves since the start of the 2013 NLDS.

What to watch for: Atlanta has won five of its past seven games off a home loss, while the Braves are 3-1 in Minor’s previous four starts at Turner Field. Haren ended a five-game skid in his last outing by shutting down the Angels, 2-1 as a +140 road ‘dog, even though the Dodgers have scored two runs or less in each of his past four trips to the mound.

Red Sox at Reds

Probable Pitchers:
BOS: Kelly (0-0, 1.29 ERA)
CIN: Latos (4-3, 3.12 ERA)

Previous series recap: The Red Sox have alternated wins and losses through the first six games of their current road swing, capped off by a 3-1 victory over the Angels on Sunday. The Reds avoided a home sweep to the Marlins by routing Miami on Sunday, 7-2 as nearly -200 favorites.

What to watch for: Boston captured the first two meetings this season with Cincinnati at Fenway Park, both by 4-3 scores. The Sox are currently on a 5-1 ‘under’ run, while compiling a 5-13 record in their past 18 games. The Reds have won four of their past five home games against American League foes, while Cincinnati owns a 9-2 record in Latos’ last 11 starts as a home favorite dating back to last season.

Athletics at Royals

Probable Pitchers:
OAK: Lester (12-7, 2.44 ERA)
KC: Guthrie (8-9, 4.35 ERA)

Series recap: The A’s suffered consecutive losses for just the second time since the All-Star break after Monday’s 3-2 setback at Kansas City. The Royals have won three of four matchups with the A’s this month, while Kansas City is riding an eight-game winning streak to pull into first place inside the AL Central.

What to watch for: Looking past the eight-game hot streak, Kansas City owns a 16-3 record since a four-game skid coming out of the All-Star break. Guthrie scattered three hits in six scoreless innings of a 1-0 triumph at Oakland earlier this month as a hefty +200 underdog. Lester has won each of his two starts with the A’s since getting dealt by the Red Sox, while his teams are 9-1 in his previous 10 outings overall.

BONES BEST BETS

Back to back 3-1 night’s in the MLB including cashing both best bets. That’s more like it guys! Let’s keep it going here today. Some big plays on tonight’s card!

CARDINALS -1 -121 *5* BEST BET

We have to take Wainwright at this price. The Cards are 17-6 when he starts this year. He has a 9-3 road record with a 1.32 ERA and 0.92 WHIP. Cosart’s is making his second start as a Marlin. He has struggled giving up 23 earned runs over his last 5 starts. He has pitched less than 6 innings in each of his last 5 starts as well.

ROCKIES @ PADRES – OVER 6.5 -130 *4* [Buying 1/2 Run]

Over in Padres game not usually the plan, but it makes so much sense here! Flande for the Rockies in 34.1 innings owns a 1.34 WHIP and a 5.77 ERA and has given up 3+ runs in 5 of his 6 starts. Meanwhile Despaigne for the Padres has lost the touch he had when he was called up and now owns a 2.13 WHIP and a 7.20 ERA over his last 3 starts. The Padres have seen 7+ runs in their past 2 games. Meanwhile the Rockies have seen 7+ runs in 7 straight games and an average of 9.8 over their past 5.

NATIONALS ML -145 *2*

Fister has been LIGHTS OUT over his past 3 starts with a 0.84 WHIP and ERA. He owns a solid 1.07 WHIP and a 2.49 ERA this season. Meanwhile Montero for the Mets owns a 1.60 WHIP and a 5.40 ERA in his 20 innings this season. The Nationals own a solid 12-4 record when Fister takes the mound this season while Montero is 0-4 in his starts for the Mets.

ORIOLES -1 -102 *3*

Back to the well again here tonight. Orioles cashed big time for us last night and its another great spot here for us to hit it again. Baltimore is 7-2 in their last nine games, 14-5 in their last 19 home games, and 5-1 in Chen’s last six starts. The Yankees have also struggled in this position recently going 1-6 against a left-handed starter and 1-5 in their last six games against Baltimore. Off a big 11-3 victory Monday look for more of the same here tonight.

BREWERS @ CUBS – UNDER 7.5 -120 *4* [buying 1/2 run]

This play cashed for us last night in a big way and we see no reason to not hit it again here tonight. Talk about two starting pitchers on some kind of a run. Kyle Kendricks in his 5 starts this year is now 3-1, owns a 2.10 ERA, a 1.01 WHIP and has gone at least 6 innings in each of his starts. Peralta meanwhile has been just as good in his last 5 starts. He has allowed 0, 1, 2, 2, and 1 run in each start and is 5-0 over that stretch.

Play of the Day

#910 San Diego Padres with Despaigne moneyline -150 (10:10 edt)
The Rockies are in a very bad spot here in this one since they are 18-41 on the road this season and they are 30-52 against right handed starters. San Diego has been decent at home and they have done well against left handers. The Padres have been playing well and the Rockies are playing horrible right now. Take San Diego here as the play of the day.

Tuesday 32-3 MLB Blowout system + 9-0 Late night system snacker are the lead plays. MLB 7* Top play cashes on Baltimore on Monday. free MLB Totals Play below.



On Tuesday the free MLB Totals system play is on the over in the Washington at NY. Mets game. Rotation numbers 903/904 at 7:05 eastern. The Mets return home after taking 3 of 4 in Philadelphia and have been potent at the plate of late. Washington comes in off a day off here after losing to Atlanta. This game fits a totals system that has cashed to the over around 80% of the time as road favorites with a totla of 8 or less coming in off a road loss where they scored 2 or less runs on 5+ hits and are taking on an opponent off a road win that scored 5 or more runs with 1 or less errors have averaged 10 runs per game. The Mets have called up R. Montero Replacing J. Degrom who has been placed on the DL With Shoulder tendinitis. Montero was mediocre in his handful of outing early on allowing 13 runs in 19 innings, he will have his hands filled tonight taking on the Nationals who have had the Mets number of late. Washington counters with D. Fister who has pitched over in 3 of his last 4 August road starts. In the series these two have posted overs in 10 of the last 13 in the series and that is what we will recommend tonight. On Tuesday the lead plays are the 32-3 blowout system and a 9-0 Late night snacker system. Congrats to those who Jumped on the MLB Game of the Year winner on Baltimore. Tonight we do more damage with the most Powerful data in the industry. For the free play take the Nationals and the Mets to go over the posted total. GC

SPORTS WAGERS


Chicago -115 over SAN FRANCISCO


In a different venue we would play the White Sox spotting 1½-runs but the total in this game is 6, prompting us to lay the cheap price on Chicago. San Fran has lost four in a row and five of its past six. Over their past 20 games, the Giants are hitting .232. Ryan Vogelsong has a 3.28 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in 12 home starts. He’s coming off back-to-back gems against the Mets and Brewers in which he surrendered just two runs combined (one ER in each start) over 15 innings. None of it makes sense. Vogelsong is just one of those guys, like Jared Weaver and others that have been outpitching their skills for years. Vogelsong significantly outpitched his skills during his 2011-12 resurgence but this season his skills are actually worse. Over his last 30 innings, Vogelsong’s swing and miss rate is 5%. He has an overall 38%/38% groundball/fly-ball split but that, too, has dropped slightly to 36%/39% since the All-Star break. Vogelsong has been greatly aided by an 82% strand rate, a 0.7 hr/f and pitching half his games at AT&T Park. Those numbers are unsustainable and it should be noted that Vogelsong has a 4.37 road ERA to go along with a .286 BAA. Vogelsong is not a relevant pitcher. Wagering on him is a dart throw and he’ll now face a White Sox team that you may be surprised to learn, is leading the majors with a BA of .288 over the past 20 games.


The South Side has lost 63 games this year. Chris Sale has lost two games. That’s how dominant he’s been but he’s not priced as such. Sale has a BB/K split of 22/138 in 122 innings. He’s allowed one run or less in 10 of his past 15 starts and two runs or less in three more. The White Sox have won 12 of his 18 starts and he’s left tied or with the lead in 16 of his 18 starts. Over his last 27 innings, Sale has whiffed 36 batters. Shall we go on? No need to. Chris Sale has been to the AL what Clayton Kershaw is to the NL and now we get to play this ace at a cheap price with his team hitting well.




Boston +116 over CINCINNATI


Mat Latos has been as steady as any starter over the past few seasons with a sub-3.50 ERA every year from 2010-13. He's continued that trend in 2014 (3.12 ERA in 66 IP) despite missing the first two months with knee and elbow injuries. All is well, right? While all may seem well on the surface, there are several troubling signs. The huge drop in Latos’ strikeout rate (42 K’s in 66 IP) is of primary concern, and it's supported by falls in both swinging-strike rate and average fastball velocity. There's also been a considerable change in batted balls hit off Latos. He's allowing more fly-balls (35%/42% GB/FB split) but a lucky hr/f indicates it hasn't hurt his bottom line .... yet. A fortunate hit rate has also helped keep Latos' ERA down. His xERA sits more than a full run above his ERA, which is never a good sign. It appears that perhaps Latos' elbow issues aren't quite behind him given the falling velocity and strikeout rates. While this may seem like just another great year for Latos, the underlying skills have raised several warning flags that prompt us to step in against him.


The Red Sox just took two of three against the Halos in Anaheim. They played the Cardinals tough in St. Louis in the series prior. Remarkably, it’s been 18 games since the Red Sox have won two in a row but they can snap that anomalous streak here. Joe Kelly makes just his second start for the Red Sox after coming over from St. Louis earlier this month. Ironically, he faced the Cardinals in his first start and threw a seven-inning, 3-hit, one run gem. Kelly has thrown just 42 innings this year because in St. Louis, he was he odd man out on a loaded staff. What makes Kelly so interesting is his elite groundball rate of 58%. It’s a small sample size this year but it’s in line with his career GB rate of 53%. In his last 24 innings over the past 31 days, Kelly has an outstanding groundball/line-drive/fly-ball split of 58%/16%/26%. He throws in the mid-90s without getting many punchouts, which is a skill in itself but trading strikeouts for groundouts is a strategy that has a lot of upside to it. At Great American Park, we’ll lean to a heavy groundball pitcher taking back a tag against a struggling fly-ball pitcher with alarming under the hood numbers.




Los Angeles +112 over ATLANTA


We’re not too high on Dan Haren, as he’s capable of blowing up in any start but he still has excellent control and is coming off a gem against the Angels. Haren now faces an Atlanta team that is sinking faster than the value of a Bitcoin. Atlanta has two wins over their past 12 games. They’ve been held to two runs or less in seven of those. They were recently swept in San Diego in a three-game set while being outscored 17-6. In what looked like a pitching mismatch in Atlanta’s favor last night (Teheran v Correia) ended with a 6-2 Dodger victory. Now the pitching matchup does not favor the Braves.


Enter Mike Minor. The Braves are hoping that skipping his turn last time through the rotation will give him a chance to regroup but there is nothing in his profile that suggests a turnaround. Since the All-Star break, Minor has made three starts, two against the Padres and one against the Marlins. Over that span, he was tagged for 27 hits and 14 runs in 14.2 innings all at pitcher friendly parks. In those two starts against San Diego, Minor surrendered four jacks in 11.2 frames. Minor has been absolutely whacked in six of his past seven starts and none of them came against potent offenses. Over that span he was torched by Houston, the Mets, the Cubbies, San Diego twice and Miami. Minor’s oppBA is .312 but over his last eight starts it is .352. Dude has surrendered 18 bombs in just 98 innings this year. Minor had seemingly established himself as a solid pitcher after putting up four straight years of xERAs ranging from 3.68 to 4.18. Minor has taken a clear step back with a 5.41 ERA and a 5.15 xERA. He’s an extreme fly-ball pitcher that is battling both his physical ability and confidence. Pitching for a team that is losing frequently and struggling to score runs, Mike Minor is instant fade material as the chalk.

SPORTS WAGERS


Winnipeg +3½ over TORONTO


The Argonauts are attracting some money in this one and we can certainly understand why. First, Toronto has had 11 days to prepare for this one while the Blue Bombers played at home on Thursday against the Roughriders. It’s highly irregular for any CFL team to play so early in the week after playing the previous week and it’s something the players are not accustomed to. Furthermore, the Bombers played an extremely sloppy game against Saskatchewan this past Thursday, turning the ball over five times with QB Drew Willy making one bad decision after another. There’s also the payback angle in play here, as Winnipeg hosted the Argos to open the year and blew them away, 45-21. Finally, the Bombers have always been the CFL’s least popular team. They have been basement dwellers for what seems like forever and they’re usually undervalued. Once again that applies here. Perhaps the situation is stacked against the Bombers but the good news is that they can erase last week’s sloppiness with a crisp and strong performance in this one. The Blue Bombers are 5-2 overall, they’re 3-0 on the road and they reside in the much tougher West. In fact, one can argue that they’ve been so much better on the road than they have at home with victories at B.C., Hamilton and Montreal. Drew Willy had a bad game last week but let’s not forget that he has just seven career starts in this league. Last week was a good lesson for him that he had to learn eventually. Despite losing the turnover battle 5-0 last week to the Riders, Winnipeg lost by just six points. You might watch another 100 games of football in any league before you see another team that has a chance to win it with less than five minutes remaining after being down 5-0 in turnovers.


Meanwhile, the Argos are coming off a 31-5 victory over the Alouettes. That game was 5-3 for the Als for a long time before Toronto scored a late TD just before the half and carried that momentum into the second half. When the game ended, Montreal had gone something like 48 straight possessions without scoring a TD. The CFL average over the past three years is a TD once every 4.6 possessions. Toronto has no running game and that’s the one area the Bombers defense has been vulnerable against. Winnipeg has done an excellent job defending the pass, ranking third in the CFL behind B.C. and Edmonton and the Argos are thin in the receiving corps. Take away the 21 points the Argos scored in the second half against a Montreal defense that has been on the field far too often and the Argos output by half over their last four games (seven halves not including the 4th Q against Montreal last week) is 9, 6, 7, 10, 6, 3 and 10. Andre Durie, Anthony Coombs and Chad Owens remain sidelined. Without that trio, the Argos have the least amount of offensive talent to catch and/or run with the ball than any team in the league. The Rogers Center has no football atmosphere. It’s half empty in weekend games (expect less tonight) with the fans spread throughout, meaning this is a great venue for the Bombers to bounce back in and that’s precisely how we’ll play it. If you’re on board, we would wait until later in the day to make this wager because the money is pouring in on the Double Blue, meaning we may get a better number.

Top Under umpire working the plate Tuesday
By ANDREW AVERY

With an Over/Under record of 4-17 when he’s been tasked with calling balls and strikes, you’d be hard pressed to find an umpire that has catered to Under bettors more efficiently than Kerwin Danley.

Danley is scheduled to work home plate at Turner Field as the Atlanta Braves host the Los Angeles Dodgers Tuesday evening. Oddsmakers have tabbed the matchup with a total of eight.

Only Hal Gibson III (9-17 O/U) and Brian O’Nora (5-17 O/U) have as many games resulting in Unders and only Tony Randazzo (1-11 O/U) has a higher winning percentage for Under bettors among umpires with at least 10 games behind the plate.

According to our umpire stats database, there is an average of 5.77 runs scored per game when Danley is working the plate. That’s the lowest per game total of any umpire with at least 10 games calling pitches.

Risking 5.83 to win 4.78 units



Tampa is the team you want to back against the Rangers today. It might not be a 7-0 winner like yesterday but they’ll be in control of this one if they continue playing much better than they have earlier in the season especially compared to the pathetic Texas Rangers. Tampa has only given up 3 runs or less in their last 7 games while Texas has allowed 4 or more in 10 of 17 games while losing 24 straight when they give up more than 3 in a game. The Rangers rank 29th in ERA (4.81) compared to the Rays sitting at the #11 spot (3.58).

Hellickson is 1-1 with a 2.61 ERA and limited the A’s to only 1 run and 2 hits through 7 innings last Wednesday. This is our pitcher for tonight who’s only given up 1 run or less in 3 of 4 starts resulting in wins for his team and bettors backing the Rays with him on the mound,

Nick Tepesch is 4-7 with a 4.46 ERA. He’s given up 6 home runs in 5 starts and the Rangers are 1-4 in his last 5. The Rangers are losers of 13 out of 19 and 37 of 48. Take the Rays on the moneyline.

Soccer UEFA Super Cup – Real Madrid vs. Sevilla

If this contest was scheduled to be played in late August or September, I would have passed as Real Madrid would get the “proper time” to prepare for this game and therefore, my fair line would be Real Madrid -1.5. However, this is not the case and yet the public is just hammering the “Merengues” all day long – early on the day, the line was -1.25 AH!

I expect this contest to be a tight one! Obviously, Real Madrid has all the impressive firepower on the front w/ Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale and James Rodriguez, but I have major doubts about the levels of their “match fitness” for this contest. Basically, in their pre-season preparation, it looked like they “didn’t” care about this game. Some key players are yet to play a minute in this new season while their Head Coach Carlo Ancelloti is going to start w/ Kroos & Modric on the center midfield. These two players are not defensive minded midfields, so I think that they will be exposed a little bit by Sevilla’s fast-paced counter attacks. Also, Sergio Ramos & Pepe looked terrible in some pre-season games and w/ Iker Casillas will start for them @GK, I don’t think that Real Madrid will shutdown Sevilla’s attack who will play a conservative style while trying to explore Real’s lack of speed and work-rate of their midfield unit.

Unlike Real Madrid, Sevilla made an interesting pre-season with more games played and thinking clearly ahead for this contest. I expect them to have the upper hand fitness-wise and this could be pivotal in these early-season games – just look of what happened to Man City in this past weekend vs. Arsenal!?

Please note that the game starts @2:45 PM EST / 8:45 PM CET!

Carson K - 3* Cubs

I'm going to take Kyle Hendricks once again, I see no reason why I shouldn't. The kid is pitching great right now. His last 4 starts 3-1, 28.1in, 22h, 5r, 5bb & 14Ks.

I'm looking for both Castro & Rizzo to have big games today. They are a combined 18-40 with 6HRs off Peralta. Plus Castro is red hot over his last 10 games, batting .414(17-41). I'm also calling for Baez to get the crowd rockin today with a Home Run.

Kansas City is the hottest team in baseball right now and have reeled off eight wins in a row, a streak that has seen them leapfrog the Tigers for the AL Central lead. In my view, its a lot easier getting to the top than it is actually staying at the top. I see a very good situational spot for Oakland tonight as Jon Lester takes the mound for the A’s.

Lester is coming off a shutout performance against the Twins where he allowed just 3 hits and 2 walks in 9 IP. Lester has been solid throughout 2014 and is 12-7 in 23 starts with an ERA of 2.44 and 1.10 WHIP. Lester has allowed 2 ER or fewer in 9 of his last 10 trips to the mound and his teams are 7-2 this season against AL Central teams. In 12 career starts against the Royals, Lester is 8-3 with a stingy 1.65 WHIP and 1.04 WHIP.

Jeremy Guthrie gets the nod for the home team who is 8-9 in 2014 with a 4.29 ERA and 1.31 WHIP in 23 starts. Guthrie has struggled at home this season going 4-5 with a 4.58 ERA and 1.37 WHIP. Opponents have hit .283 against the righty in 11 outings in Kansas this year. Guthrie has allowed 3 ER or more in 4 of his last 6 starts and issued an average of 2 walks per game over his last 6 outings.

The A’s are 5-2 in their last seven games after scoring two runs or less and haven’t lost 3 straight games since being swept by the Tigers from the 30th June 2014 to 2nd July 2014.

1.5* A's/Royals Under 7.5 (-125)

Playing this one for 1.5* as you all know how I feel about juice. Lester hasn't had ANY problems with the Royals in his career, and I don't see that happening tonight. In 2 starts this season against KC, he has a sub 2 ERA. Guthrie is in a nice little groove, and he's just getting it done. In fact, he just threw 6 shutout against the As out in Oakland and we're going to not overthink this one and just fire. Should baseball being played & we're on the UNDER here.

Today’s POD’s

#1: St Louis Cardinals -133

#2: Toronto Blue Jays +112

St. Louis Cardinals 62-55 (53%) @ Miami Marlins 58-60 (49%)

A. Wainwright, my #29 ranked SP, starting for St. Louis Cardinals, has a FIP of 2.72 (#11 in MLB), xFIP of 3.41 (#35 in MLB), and SIERA of 3.54 (#42 in MLB), with a BABIP of .264, LOB% of 78%, and E-F of -0.44. He has a K/BB ratio of 3.44, with a WHIP of 1.02, and opponent BA of .211. His batted-ball peripherals are: LD%: 23%, GB%: 45%, FB%: 32% for a 1.42 GB/FB ratio, and a HR/FB of 4%.

J. Cosart, my #122 ranked SP, starting for Miami Marlins, has a FIP of 3.98 (#92 in MLB), xFIP of 4.24 (#118 in MLB), and SIERA of 4.39 (#135 in MLB), with a BABIP of .299, LOB% of 67%, and E-F of 0.53. He has a K/BB ratio of 1.47, with a WHIP of 1.45, and opponent BA of .26. His batted-ball peripherals are: LD%: 18%, GB%: 57%, FB%: 25% for a 2.26 GB/FB ratio, and a HR/FB of 7%.

St. Louis Cardinals have the #11 bullpen, #16 offense (#16 vs Righties / #9 vs Lefties), and are rated #11 in fielding. They have a road record of 29-30 (49%), ranked #14 in MLB and have Lost 1 in a row.

Miami Marlins have the #14 bullpen, #18 offense (#19 vs Righties / #16 vs Lefties), and are rated #16 in fielding. They have a home record of 32-28 (53%), ranked #14 in MLB and have Won 1 in a row.

Odds: STL -139 (58%) MIA +128 (44%) O/U = 7.5
Analysis:

In the last 5 days, Cishek appeared 4 times (pitched yesterday, day-off on Sun, and 3 straight appearances prior) and has allowed 9 hits and 5 ER’s in the process. After throwing 26 pitches and allowing 2 ER’s, it’s hard to see him being ‘available’ today as clearly he needs some rest. This will make this Miami bullpen much weaker overall, and given the fact that Cosart has failed to get through 6th inning in 5 straight starts, that could be a problem. St Louis’ BP is fresher as their key guys all had a day off yesterday. As far as starters go, Cosart is making his first start against the Cards so the ‘unfamiliarity factor’ is in play. Of course Wainwright hasn’t faced Miami since 2010, so most of these Marlins hitters have never seen him either. Overall pitching advantage is in St Louis’ favor in this one.

Lean: STL

Toronto Blue Jays 63-57 (53%) @ Seattle Mariners 63-55 (53%)

J. Happ, my #97 ranked SP, starting for Toronto Blue Jays, has a FIP of 3.98 (#92 in MLB), xFIP of 4.06 (#104 in MLB), and SIERA of 4 (#93 in MLB), with a BABIP of .306, LOB% of 74%, and E-F of 0.05. He has a K/BB ratio of 2.47, with a WHIP of 1.35, and opponent BA of .258. His batted-ball peripherals are: LD%: 19%, GB%: 41%, FB%: 40% for a 1.02 GB/FB ratio, and a HR/FB of 10%.

C. Young, my #169 ranked SP, starting for Seattle Mariners, has a FIP of 4.81 (#155 in MLB), xFIP of 5.18 (#170 in MLB), and SIERA of 5.24 (#170 in MLB), with a BABIP of .231, LOB% of 82%, and E-F of -1.48. He has a K/BB ratio of 1.89, with a WHIP of 1.16, and opponent BA of .222. His batted-ball peripherals are: LD%: 19%, GB%: 23%, FB%: 58% for a 0.4 GB/FB ratio, and a HR/FB of 8%.

Toronto Blue Jays have the #29 bullpen, #3 offense (#1 vs Righties / #22 vs Lefties), and are rated #18 in fielding. They have a road record of 30-31 (49%), ranked #13 in MLB and have Lost 1 in a row.

Seattle Mariners have the #1 bullpen, #24 offense (#14 vs Righties / #29 vs Lefties), and are rated #15 in fielding. They have a home record of 32-32 (50%), ranked #19 in MLB and have Won 2 in a row.

Odds: TOR +104 (49%) SEA -113 (53%) O/U = 7.5
Analysis:Seattle stinks against lefties and Happ has been decent in the last 30-days: 4.2 K/BB, 24% K-rate, 3.6/3.6/3.3 FxS. By comparison Young has an E-F of -1.5 as his 4.8 FIP is much higher than his 3.3 ERA. his 5.2 xFIP and SIERA are even higher, ranking 170th out of 171 pitchers in my database. Today he’s facing the #1 offense in the league against right-handers and I’m wondering if his ‘luck’ starts running out. Solid spot to fade him off a strong outing against a weak-hitting ATL squad.

Lean: TOR
