Tuesday's MLB betting cheat sheet: Darvish strong as a narrow fave

Here's a comprehensive look at betting notes for Tuesday's major league games:

Pushy New Yorkers

The New York Mets continue to be the masters of the pushing, earning their 11th of the year in Monday's 6-2 loss to the host St. Louis Cardinals (-162). The Mets lead the league in pushes by four, and had just six pushes all of last season.

KC Eights

The Kansas City Royals (+136) broke out the bats yet again, extending their winning streak to a season-best eight games with an 11-8 triumph over the host Detroit Tigers. The Royals are 6-2 O/U during the streak, averaging seven runs per game over that span.

Yu The Man

Texas Rangers ace Yu Darvish has been one of the league's strongest narrow favorites so far in 2014. Darvish is listed at -109 for the Rangers' game against host Oakland; Texas is a perfect 6-0 so far this season when Darvish is installed as a favorite of less than -120.

Pitching Notes

* Minnesota starter Phil Hughes looks to build on his league-leading value total as he leads the Twins (+137, 8.5) into Boston for a date with the Red Sox. Hughes has earned a whopping $1,050 so far, with the Twins having won his last eight starts as an underdog.

* Houston left-hander Dallas Keuchel looks to continue a pair of trends Tuesday as the Astros (+115, 7) face the host Washington Nationals. Keuchel is 6-1 against the moneyline over the last seven games while going 1-5-1 O/U over that span.

Hitting Notes

* Royals shortstop Omar Infante has been one of the catalysts for Kansas City during its eight-game run, batting .400 with a homer and seven RBIs in his previous seven contests. The Royals are 13-4 SU in games in which Infante drives in at least one run going into Tuesday's tilt with Detroit (-148, 8).

* Dodgers outfielder Dee Gordon went 4-for-4 in Monday's 6-1 win over Colorado, marking his first multi-hit effort since June 6. Los Angeles is 10-8 against the moneyline and 9-7-2 O-U in games in which Gordon records more than one hit entering Tuesday's game against the Rockies (+170, 7).

Totals Streak

Atlanta Braves (5-1-1 O/U): The Braves have been one of the safest Under bets at home all season but are reversing that trend on their latest homestand, improving to 3-1 O/U in a 6-1 loss to Philadelphia. Atlanta is 27-38-4 O/U on the year.

Prop of the Day

After a brief period where the bats went silent, the Toronto Blue Jays are slowly but surely starting to hit again. One thing they've been doing consistently is getting on the board first. The Jays have scored first in three-straight ball games and are -125 (Bet365) to do so against the New York Yankees Tuesday.

Injury Notes

* Baltimore Orioles catcher Matt Wieters will undergo Tommy John surgery on his throwing elbow and will miss the remainder of the season. The Orioles are 17-21 SUU, 18-20 O/U and -451 units for the season with Wieters on the sidelines.

* Oakland Athletics outfielder Josh Reddick is aiming for a June 24 return from a hyperextended knee. Reddick has been out of the lineup since late May; the Athletics are 8-6 SU and 6-7-1 O/U in his absence.

Weather Watch

* Wind at Fenway Park will blow out to center field at 6 mph for Tuesday's game between host Boston (-152, 8.5) and Minnesota. The Red Sox were 4-2 SU and 1-5 O/U in six games under similar conditions in 2013; teams combined to score 8.5 runs, well below the stadium average of 9.04.

Umpire Note of the Day

The home team is 6-1 in umpire Tom Hallion's previous seven games calling balls and strikes. Hallion will be behind home plate for Tuesday's game between the Royals and host Tigers.

Hondo

The Angels were of no help whatsoever to slumping Hondo Monday night, getting beaten in Cleveland to push his skid to 1-for-11 and his accounts payable to a whopping 1,555 crosettis.

Tuesday night: Mr. Aitch will play his aces — 10 units on Tanaka to smoke the Jays and 10 on sure as shootin’ Scherzer to be a Royal pain.

RIVER CITY SHARPS

The Marlins have cooled off a bit at home and dropped another one in 13 innings to these Cubbies on Monday night. The Cubs will send out their ace Jeff Samardzija (2-6, 2.77) to face off with the Marlins Anthony DeSclafini (1-1, 5.56) who has been back and forth from Triple-A this season. Samardzija has been one of the real hard luck pitchers of this season as he just hasn’t received much run support from his offense. He did face off with these Marlins two starts back, where he allowed just two runs in seven innings, picking up the 5-2 Cubs win. DeSclafini has had mixed results in his ML starts this season, but hasn’t blown anyone away and has actually been hit pretty hard. The Cubbies are 6-1 in their last seven games as a favorite and the Marlins are a staggering 16-38 in their last 54 games vs. the NL Central! Even though Miami is the home dog here tonight, for these Sharps, the real value lies with Samardzija and the Cubs at this bargain price against an unproven farmhand. The Sharps say…
3 UNITS – CHICAGO CUBS (-111)

In his first two big-league starts, he struggled the second time through the order - allowing opponents to hit .304 from the fourth inning on after holding them to .250 over the first three frames.
