MLB Top 4: Bettors beware clubs about to self-destruct
By JASON LOGAN

The MLB season is quickly approaching the halfway mark and with it, the July 31 trade deadline.

Trade rumors have hogged the headlines over the past week, and more than a few teams are making regular appearances in those reports.

Baseball bettors should beware of clubs about to push the plunger and blow up their roster – along with 2013’s aspirations. Players on the trading block are focused on where their next paycheck is coming from, not the next pitch, and teams can take a nose dive as the deadline draws closer.

Here are four MLB clubs who could be swinging the wrecking ball over the next month:

Philadelphia Phillies (38-42, -9.05 units)

The Phillies have been on dynamite watch around this time in each of the past three seasons. An aging roster and massive payroll haven’t produced results and Philadelphia sports fans don’t have much patience left for the franchise. Honestly, this team should have been blown up back in 2011.

Cliff Lee continues to be the big name floating around, even though the Phillies brass denies trade talks. Also cracking the rumor mills are Jonathan Papelbon, Chase Utley, Chris Young, Carlos Ruiz, and even Roy Halladay – the latter four are all free agents this winter.

Chicago White Sox (32-43, -11.92 units)

Everybody in the American League Central has a shot at the division crown this season, with Minnesota only six games back in fourth place. Everyone but the White Sox that is, according to the trade buzz coming out of the Southside.

With Chicago nine games back of the lead, it appears that the ChiSox are willing to clean house with the exceptions of starter Chris Sale and veteran slugger Paul Konerko. According to CBS Sports’ Jon Heyman, a fire sale could include names like Alex Rios, John Danks and Alexei Ramirez.

Chicago Cubs (33-44, -7.14 units)

The Cubbies are still in rebuilding mode in Year 2 under wiz kid Theo Epstein and a deconstruction of 2013’s foundation appears to be on the way, starting with ace Matt Garza. The right-hander has improved his stock with three straight solid outings and is on the radar of just about every contending club in the bigs.

Chicago is also dangling carrots like Scott Feldman, Kevin Gregg, Carlos Marmol, David DeJesus, Nate Schierholtz, and Alfonso Soriano this month. The Cubs’ July schedule has them on the West Coast for a good chunk of the month.

Milwaukee Brewers (32-45, -15.46 units)

You’d have to be drunk off your ass to be betting on the Brew Crew right now. Milwaukee has been blitzed by the injury bug all season, fielding a different lineup almost every night. Ryan Braun is out with a bum thumb and who knows what suspensions lay ahead for him in the MLB’s ongoing PED investigations.

The Brewers pitching staff could stand for a good implosion, currently touting a collective ERA of 5.00 – second worst in the majors. Ace Yovani Gallardo is their biggest card in the deck when it comes to making moves. From the sounds of it, Milwaukee is on the fence about whether or not to pack it in. But with 11 of their next 17 away from home, where the Brewers are 13-22, the decision could be clearer by mid July.

Roughriders at Eskimos: What bettors need to know

Saskatchewan Roughriders at Edmonton Eskimos (+1.5, 49)

The Saskatchewan Roughriders are hoping their prized acquisition Geroy Simon will be ready when they open their regular season by visiting the Edmonton Eskimos on Saturday. The veteran slotback and all-time CFL career receiving yards leader suffered a leg injury during the preseason but is considered probable to start alongside Weston Dressler in what should be a fearsome offence for the Roughriders. Edmonton allowed a West Division-worst 25 points per game last year, but the team addressed the issue by acquiring free agent Odell Willis while defensive end Marcus Howard is now healthy.

Saskatchewan finished last season on a four-game losing streak and fell 36-30 to Calgary in the playoffs. Edmonton will have its third different opening-day quarterback in three years as former BC Lions backup Mike Reilly will get the start with Matt Nichols suffering from an ACL injury. Reilly has two previous CFL starts in his career. Pivot Darian Durant is entering his fifth season as the starter for the Roughriders, who posted a 31-24 victory over the Eskimos to open the preseason.

TV: 3:30 p.m. ET, TSN

LINE MOVES: Saskatchewan opened as a 1-point road underdog but action in the Riders has swayed the line to Saskatchewan -1.5. The total opened at 50 and has moved to 49 with money on the under.

ABOUT THE ROUGHRIDERS: Saskatchewan is starting its season with eight players on the injured list, including veteran fullback Neal Hughes, wide receiver Kierrie Johnson and linebacker Abraham Kromah. Along with the injuries, the team will also be without defensive lineman Tearrius George, who will serve a one-game suspension for a helmet-to-helmet hit against Calgary in the playoffs last year. Durant had the most efficient season of his career in 2012, throwing 20 touchdowns and completing a career-high 64.4 percent of his passes while recording his lowest interception total (12) since becoming a starter.

ABOUT THE ESKIMOS: Linebacker JC Sherritt was named Most Outstanding Defensive Player after setting a league record with 130 tackles last season. Sherritt was also tied for second on the team with five interceptions, one behind league leader Joe Burnett. Reilly fared well in his two previous career starts with the Lions, throwing for 682 yards and completing 69.3 percent of his passes. The 28 year old’s main target will be veteran slotback Fred Stamps, who finished second in the league with 1,310 receiving yards last year.

TRENDS:

* Under is 14-4 in the last 18 meetings in Edmonton.
* Roughriders are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 meetings.
* Roughriders are 1-5 ATS in their last six meetings in Edmonton.
* Eskimos are 1-4 ATS in their last five games in June.
* Roughriders are 37-17-1 ATS in their last 55 games in Week 1.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. Edmonton, which finished last season with a 7-11 record, was 3-7 against West Division opponents.

2. Stamps is expected to play on Saturday despite sitting out much of Edmonton’s preseason due to soreness.

3. Roughriders RB Kory Sheets completed a mediation course last month after facing charges of battery domestic violence filed in January. The charges were dropped following the completion of the course and Sheets has been cleared to play by the team.

CFL Week 1

Straight Picks

Edmonton Eskimos - ML / +100 *0.75*

Saskatchewan and Edmonton are two evenly matched teams, for Edmonton to be a plus money dog at home does not seem right to us. Edmonton is a decent home team (5-4 last year) while the Roughriders have trouble traveling (3-6 last year) and lost both games in Edmonton last year (37-20 and 28-20).

NASCAR betting: Quaker State 400 preview

Who will be victorious in the third NASCAR Sprint Cup Race at Kentucky Speedway, which has a reputation for being a "rough track" on Saturday?

Here’s our betting preview:

Favorite: Kyle Busch (7-1)

Busch has one win, one top-five and two top-10s in two starts at Kentucky Speedway. There have been 534 laps circled across the two races held at Kentucky and KB has led 45.5 percent of them

Live dog: Brad Keselowski (12-1)

Keselowski won last year's race at Kentucky with a backup car. He took a gambled on fuel late in the race to rack up his third win of the 2012 season. He ranks second, out of 45 drivers with an average place of 3.8 at Kentucky.

Long shot: Ryan Newman (80-1)

Newman finished fourth in the 2011 race at Kentucky but crashed with 59 laps to go last year after qualifying fifth. He has two top-10 finishes in his last five Sprint Cup races and has great value at 80-1 this week.

Key stat: Ten different drivers have posted top-10 victories at Kentucky in just two Sprint Cup races.

Notable quotable:

"I love how much character that racetrack has. It's so rough. The groove moves around, and you really are just trying to dodge the big swells and bumps to find grip for your race car.” –Jimmie Johnson on racing Kentucky Speedway

NASCAR Races Under Kentucky Lights Saturday
by Brian Graham

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
Quaker State 400 Presented by Advance Auto Parts

Saturday, June 29 – 7:30 p.m. EDT
Kentucky Speedway – Sparta, KY
After tackling the Sonoma road course last week, the NASCAR circuit moves to the more traditional “cookie cutter” track at Kentucky on Saturday night for the Quaker State 400 Presented by Advance Auto Parts. The Kentucky Speedway opened in 2000 in a 1.5-mile tri-oval shape. All the turns have an identical banking of 14°, making it one of the flattest of the six other similar tracks (Atlanta, Charlotte, Texas, Las Vegas, Kansas and Chicagoland). The frontstretch, which measures 1,662 feet is banked at just 18° while the backstretch measures a similar 1,600 feet, but with only half the banking (4°) of the frontstretch. There have been only two NASCAR races at Kentucky. Kyle Busch took the checkered flag in the first race in 2011, and Brad Keselowski won at Kentucky last year.

Drivers to Watch

Kasey Kahne (8/1) - Not only was Kahne last year's runner-up at Kentucky, but he continues to thrive in 1.5-mile tracks. In the past four such races this season (Charlotte, Kansas, Fort Worth and Las Vegas), he's placed 2nd, 2nd, 11th and 2nd. And after crashing in Michigan two weeks ago, Kahne looked strong at Sonoma last week with a sixth-place finish. This marked his sixth top-6 showing this year. He is certainly worthy of your largest wager on Saturday night.

Brad Keselowski (12/1) - Last year's winner at Kentucky also finished 7th at this track in 2011. The defending points champion has always been a great intermediate track driver, and this year is no different, placing 3rd in Las Vegas, 6th at Kansas and 9th in Fort Worth. He's also raced consistently well enough all season to remain among the top-10 drivers in the standings after all 16 starts. He's cranked out five top-5's, eight top-10's and has led at least one lap in nine of these races. That includes his seven laps led last week at Sonoma. At 12-to-1, the No. 2 car represents the best value on the board.

Tony Stewart (20/1) - In last year's Kentucky race, Stewart was getting 8-to-1 odds, so this looks like an undervalued driver on Saturday. Although he finished a disappointing 32nd in last year's Quaker State 400, the year before he started 9th and finished 12th. Stewart has also been decent on intermediate tracks, placing 11th in Las Vegas and then coming in 7th in Charlotte to start a run of four straight top-7 finishes, winning at Dover, placing 4th at Pocono and coming in 5th at Michigan. He's the best darkhorse on the board and thus worthy of a small wager.

Martin Truex Jr. (15/1) - The oddsmakers gave him 25-to-1 odds last year, so the value isn't great here. But Truex Jr. is an intermediate track monster, placing in the top-9 in all four 1.5-mile tracks this season. He was 8th in Las Vegas, 2nd in Fort Worth, 4th in Kansas and 9th in Charlotte. He has also moved up from 17th to 10th in the points standings in just the past two weeks alone, thanks to a 3rd-place showing at Michigan, followed by his victory at Sonoma last week. Placing 8th at Kentucky last year is just further ammunition to drop a one-unit wager on the No. 56 car.

Ryan Newman (100/1) - There are a good number of longshots on the board, but none are more exciting than Newman, who finished 4th at Kentucky in 2011 and started 5th at this track last year before a crash ended his day. He's been strong on 1.5-mile tracks all season. After an engine problem derailed his day in Las Vegas, he placed 10th at Fort Worth, 14th at Kansas and an excellent 6th at Charlotte, the track most similar to Kentucky's worn-out surface. If you discount the four races he has not completed this season (3 crashes, 1 engine), Newman's average finish is an impressive 12.2. And when you consider that Newman went off at 40-to-1 at Kentucky last year, you can see why the triple-digit payoff is somewhat realistic.
