Sports Wagers

Kansas City +128 over TORONTO Pinnacle
The Blue Jays are in danger of falling below .500 and dropping back even further in the tough AL East. They’ve now lost two in a row, four of six and the injuries to their starting rotation is taking its toll. That puts a lot more pressure on guys like Brett Cecil, who didn’t even make the team out of spring. Cecil made nine starts in Double-A before a promotion to Triple-A. He had 40K/14 BB in 49.1 IP in the minors. In previous MLB stints, Cecil has displayed marginal command and below average xERAs in the 4.25-4.75 range. He has yet to show substantial skills growth and pitching for a troubled squad, he should be avoided when spotting a tag. The Royals have won five of eight. They’re currently seeing the ball real well with a .299 BA over their past 13 and took the opener last night 11-3. Vin Mazzaro returns to the rotation after a demotion to the bullpen. His surface stats are middling at best but he has an outstanding 55% groundball rate and a 2.16 xERA over his past two starts. We’re calling the pitching match-up pretty even. However, current form, momentum and confidence at the plate heavily favors the visitor and with the tag, it’s sensible to take a position. Play: Kansas City +128 (Risking 2 units).

CHICAGO -117 over Texas Pinnacle
Roy Oswalt and his 2-0 record pitching for the Rangers looks like a pretty sweet combination on paper. It’s not. Oswalt should really be 0-2. In his pair of starts, covering 12.2 frames, Oswalt has allowed 22 hits for a BAA of .397 and a 1.97 WHIP. Oswalt displayed skills erosion in an injury-plagued 2011, which included two DL stints with back ailments. This isn’t Hollywood and at the age of 34 and with too much mileage on a near “dead” arm, Oswalt is not making a Rocky-like comeback. Numerous pitchers have tried with a very low percentage succeeding. Nothing in Oswalt’s two starts suggest he’s going to defy the odds. As a result of his misleading 2-0 start, we get the White Sox at home with Chris Sale going at a very playable price. Sale has become a legit ace, a fact that is confirmed in his LH/RH skill splits. He’s just as good against righties as he is against lefties. Sale has a 2.27 ERA, 94 K’s in 95 innings, outstanding control and a groundball bias profile. Texas is dangerous but they’re likely going to need to score a bunch here to get Oswalt off the hook. Sale has been too good to allow that to happen. Play: Chicago -117 (Risking 2 units to win 1.7).

San Francisco +120 over WASHINGTON Pinnacle
Don’t look now but the Giants have leapfrogged over the Dodgers and are now in sole possession of first place. They’re 7-3 over their past 10, 45-35 overall and that’s with Tim Lincecum and Madison Bumgarner struggling in the first half. Lincecum is coming off his best outing of the year vs. LA in which he struck out eight batters over seven scoreless innings. His skills in June were much improved over April and May, as was his control. His 7.59 road ERA is merely an anomaly as Linceum has the pedigree and skills to be one of the best in the game. Jordan Zimmermann has been very consistent this season, going six innings or more in each outing this year. All but two of his 15 starts have been quality. No doubt, he gives the Nats a chance to win every time he takes the mound. However, he has just four wins in those 15 starts. The Nats rarely give him any run support and that plays on a pitcher’s mind, as he steps to the hill figuring he needs to be near perfect for a chance at a “W”. Still, this one is more about backing the red-hot Giants and their undervalued ace. Play: San Francisco +120 (Risking 2 units).

Hondo

Hondo’s sail with the Pirates yielded some filthy lucre last night as they stomped the ’Stros to cut the NRN (nasty red number) to 1,595 lollars.

Tonight, Sale looks like a bargain – 10 units on the Chisox to handle Roy Harvey Oswalt’s firepower. Also, he will try to get over with Nova and Harrell – 10 units apiece on the Yanks and ’Stros.

2 UNIT = Philadelphia Phillies @ New York Mets - METS TO WIN (-119)
Listed Pitchers: Worley vs Niese
(Note: I'm risking 2.38 units to win 2.00 units)

Philadelphia enters tonight's game with a 36-45 record, and 19-21 road record which has them in last place in the NL East division. The Mets are 2nd in the division with a 43-37 record and 23-17 home record. These two teams have met 9 times this year with the Mets taking 6 of the 9 meetings. Philadelphia has lost 5 straight games, while the Mets have won 4 of their last 5. We do see two good pitchers on the mound with Vance Worley and Jon Niese. Worley is 4-4 with a 2.92 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and .247 opponents batting average. Niese is 6-3 with a 3.55 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, and .246 opponents batting average. In June he went 3-1 with a 1.89 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and .271 opponents batting average over 4 starts. He is 1-0 against the Phillies this season over 3 starts, where Philadelphia batters are hitting just .183 against him. None of those starts came in the month of June, where he has been pitching the best he has been all season. Philadelphia is just 8-20 over their last 28 games, and 0-6 in their last 6 road games. Despite Worley pitching well they are just 1-4 in his last 5 starts, and 2-5 in his last 7 road starts. The Mets are 10-2 in their last 12 home games vs a team with a losing road record, and 7-2 in their last 9 games as a home favorite. Niese enjoyed 5 days of rest, and they are 12-5 in his last 17 starts with 5 days rest. They are also 6-1 in his last 7 vs a team with a losing record. New York is 9-4 in these two teams last 13 meetings overall, and I like them to win tonight.

1 UNIT = Kansas City Royals @ Toronto Blue Jays - OVER 10.5 RUNS (+100)
Listed Pitchers: Mazzaro vs Cecil
(Note: I'm risking 1.00 unit to win 1.00 unit)

These two teams met last night with the Royals winning 11-3 as pretty big underdogs. The OVER last night was the 6th straight OVER for the Jays, with totals of 14, 16, 13, 12, 16, and 14. The Bats are going for Toronto, but their pitching is not. Toronto turns to Brett Cecil for his 4th start since being called up. In his last start he went just 5.1 innings giving up 10 hits and 8 earned runs, bumping his overall ERA up to 6.06 on the season. Vin Mazzaro comes out of the bullpen for a start for the Royals. He is 3-2 with a 5.48 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and .305 opponents batting average as a starter this season. Take note that the OVER is 12-3-1 in the Blue Jays last 16 games overall, and 8-2-1 in their last 11 home games as a favorite of -151 to -200. The OVER is 5-2 in Cecil's last 7 starts with a total set at 9-10.5. Take the OVER here tonight with these two pitchers on the mound and both teams swinging well.

1 UNIT = Colorado Rockies @ St Louis Cardinals - UNDER 9.5 RUNS (-120)
Listed Pitchers: Francis vs Kelly
(Note: I'm risking 1.20 units to win 1.00 unit)

If you take away Jeff Francis' first start of the season where he allowed 8 earned runs in 3.1 innings of work he would have a very respectable ERA. In fact the Rockies have won his last 4 starts, and over his last 3 starts his ERA is just 1.69. Joe Kelly will be making his 5th start for the Cardinals. He is 1-0 with a 3.38 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, and .318 opponents batting average. At home (2 starts) he is 0-0 with a 2.89 ERA. Note that the UNDER is 10-4-1 in Francis' last 15 starts following a quality start in his last appearance. The UNDER is also 4-1 in their last 5 meetings overall, and 8-1 in their last 9 meetings in St Louis. Although Colorado has been playing to the over quite a bit lately they haven't really done too much with their bats besides a few big offensive games over their recent rough patch. With the two pitchers on the mound tonight pitching well as of late I think we have value going with the UNDER on this high total.

11-2 RUN

4.5* MLB POD NY Yankees -109 over Tampa Bay
For a third day in a row we are going with the world’s most famous franchise. I typically do not like betting these guys as you rarely see value on them. However, it’s a third day in a row we see value and if it wasn’t for Mark Teixera’s late error we could be talking about going 3-0. The Yankees in my opinion have a distinct advantage and the odds are in our favor as well.

For one James Shields has 23 career starts vs. the Yankees with a 5-13 record and a 4.55 ERA. The Yankees have gone 16-7 in his 23 starts and despite dominating some of the Yankee hitters Shields has struggled vs. some of the better hitters specifically Robinson Cano who is 27-65 with a .415 average 4HR. However, more importantly in 3 starts this year he’s got nearly a 2.00 WHIP in just 16 IP allowing 14 ER vs. the Yankees. Meaning the Yankees are figuring him out and I think that trend continues. If it doesn’t the Yankees still have Ivan Nova on the mound who is 12-0 with a 3.17 ERA in his last 16 road games. The Yankees are also 6-0 in all 6 of his starts vs. the Rays posting a 2.82 ERA.

Againt he Yankees huge advantage they are 2nd in OPS vs. RHP and 2nd on the road in OPS while the Rays are 100 points behind in each category ranking 23rd vs. RHP and 26th at home. The Rays were 29th with a .640 OPS last month and I don’t see that changing until Evan Longoria comes back. Nova has dominated this team holding Upton, Joyce, Zobrist and Pena to a 7-54 mark. Complete line up has his .169 with a .573 OPS vs. Nova in 118 AB. Nova has pitched well of late posting a 1.26 ERA in June and he’s got a 1.80 in 2 starts this year vs. the Rays. The Yankees will end their losing streak in Tampa tonight.
