MLB Betting News and Notes - Week #20
•Manfred To Succeed Selig As Commissioner: The man long assumed to be the next commissioner of Major League Baseball ended up being elected to the position late Thursday afternoon. However, it was a rougher ride than expected for Rob Manfred to get there. Manfred, MLB's chief operating officer, was chosen by a 30-0 vote by major league owners over Boston Red Sox chairman Tom Werner at the owners' quarterly meetings at the Baltimore Hyatt Regency. Manfred will become the sport's 10th commissioner on January 15th when Bud Selig retires after 22 years on the job.

The unanimous vote is misleading, though. It took all day for Selig to what he does best, which is to build a consensus among the owners, before Manfred got the necessary three-quarters of the votes -- 23 -- to get elected. After MLB vice president of business Tim Brosnan earlier in the afternoon, Manfred twice received 22 votes to Werner's eight. The Washington Nationals flipped from Werner to Manfred and Selig then had Chicago White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf convince the rest of the owners to make the vote unanimous. Reinsdorf was the biggest opponent to Manfred, believing he has not been tough enough in collective bargaining negotiations with the Major League Baseball Players Association over the years.

Before being promoted to COO last September, Manfred was MLB executive vice president of labor relations for 15 years. During that time, he negotiated three CBAs without a work stoppage. Baseball has had an unprecedented 19 years of labor peace since the 1994-95 players' strike. The current CBA expires at the end of 2016. "The biggest thing in the game is labor peace," New York Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner said. "The game has grown so much once both sides were able to open better lines of communications and work together. Rob certainly has had a lot to do with that and we're optimistic it will continue with him as the commissioner." Keeping labor peace will continue to be one of Manfred's primary objectives.

•Pirates Acquire Reliever Axford From Indians: The Pittsburg Pirates acquired right-handed reliever John Axford from the Cleveland Indians in a waiver deal on Thursday, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported. The Pirates will be responsible for the remaining portion of Axford's $4.5 million contract, estimated to be $1.3 million. The Indians do not get a player in return. Axford opened the season as the Indians' closer, but was replaced in May when control problems and the long ball proved his undoing. He walked 30 batters in 43 2/3.2 innings this season while compiling a 2-3 mark with a 3.92 ERA and 10 saves in 49 appearances. The Indians are expected to fill his roster spot on Friday when center fielder Michael Bourn is expected to be activated off the disabled list.

•Verlander “Going To Get Other Opinions” On Shoulder: So far Justin Verlander has avoided the disabled list after being diagnosed with an inflamed shoulder capsule, but the Tigers right-hander is expected to miss at least one turn in the rotation and will have specialists take a look at his test results following his initial examination by the team medical staff. Verlander revealed after his ugly one-inning appearance that he’s been dealing with shoulder problems for a while now, but would not specific when they started. Dating back to mid-May he has a 5.85 ERA in 17 starts, including an ERA higher than 4.50 in May, June, July, and now August.

•Dodgers Beat Braves To Continue Road Success: The Los Angeles Dodgers have the best record in the National League because of their success on the road rather than at home. The Dodgers improved to 40-26 away from Los Angeles with 6-4 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Thursday afternoon that completed a 6-3 trip. The Dodgers' top three hitters went 9-for-13, with leadoff man Dee Gordon scoring four times and Adrian Gonzalez driving in three runs. "When your guys at the top get on, it changes the game," manager Don Mattingly said. Gordon showed his speed to the utmost. In going 3-for-4 with a walk, two of his hits were bunts and another didn't leave the infield. Once on, he increased his major league-leading stolen base total to 54 with two swipes. "I know I need to bunt. It's part of my game and I needed to be doing it a little more," Gordon said.

•A's Shortstop Lowrie Headed To DL: Athletics shortstop Jed Lowrie will be placed on the disabled list on Thursday because of a fractured right index finger. Lowrie had been trying to play through the injury. He is expected to miss two to three weeks. "I tried to play with it for 10 days and I think the realization is that it's not going to get any better unless I take time off," Lowrie told the San Jose Mercury News. "There was no way I could continue to put the same velocity on throws. The finger just wouldn't allow it. I get this burning sensation the minute any pressure is put on it." The 30-year-old Lowrie is batting .238. with five homers and 42 RBIs in 110 games this season. The A's are expected to call up Andy Parrino to take Lowrie's spot on the roster. Eric Sogard was in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Kansas City Royals.

•Tigers Closer Nathan Apologizes: Joe Nathan apologized on Thursday morning for making two obscene gestures toward frustrated Detroit Tigers fans after his outing on Wednesday. Nathan, the team's closer, was booed when he walked the first two batters he faced in the ninth inning but did not allow a run in the 8-4 victory over the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates. "Hearing it the whole inning just got the better of me and my frustration came out," said Nathan, who has a 5.11 ERA with six blown save opportunities. "It was bad on both parts. Frustration came out on both sides and I apologize to the fans and apologize to my kids and I will be better." Nathan has 24 saves, 24 walks and five home runs allowed, not what he or the Tigers envisioned when the veteran signed a two-year, $20 million contract in the offseason. The 39-year-old is part of a bullpen that ranks 28th of 30 teams in ERA (4.35) entering Thursday's game.

•Rockies' Carlos Gonzalez Is Likely Done For The Season: Troy Tulowitzki is done for the season and outfielder Carlos Gonzalez is likely done, too, after playing in just 70 games. The Rockies' outfielder underwent another examination Wednesday on his aching left knee. The MRI revealed more damage than a previous test, so Gonzalez will consult with the team's training staff and various doctors on Thursday to decide on a treatment plan. Gonzalez, 28, has suffered from left knee tendinitis since last season, and it's bothered him acutely at times this season. He was placed on the 15-day disabled list Sunday. According to Dugger, the Rockies are exploring a number of treatment options, including surgery or treatments such as plasma-rich platelets or stem-cell therapy.

The only way CarGo will play again this season is if it's decided that rest and rehab will allow him back on the field. That is an unlikely scenario. Thursday, Gonzalez will meet with Dr. Thomas Hackett, of Frisco, who performed the MRI. Also taking part in the consultation will be Rockies medical director Dr. Thomas J. Noonan, Rockies rehab coordinator Scott Murayama, and Dugger. Also on Wednesday, the Rockies announced that Tulowitzki will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a tear in his left hip labrum. It's been a difficult year for Gonzalez. He had his appendix removed in January. Then, early in the season, his left index finger ballooned up to three times its normal size. It became so painful, he couldn't grip a baseball, let alone a bat. In June, he had a tumor removed from the finger. The growth was famously described by trainer Dugger as "a fatty mass with tentacles."

The tendinitis in his left knee is something CarGo is trying to learn to fight through and manage. It was made worse be the tender right ankle that put more pressure on the knee. CarGo also has been dealing with care and well-being of his two baby girls. He and his wife, Indonesia, welcomed the twins, Carlota and Genova, on June 13. They were just 30 weeks old at birth. Genova has been home for a while. Carlota finally came home from the hospital last Friday. Gonzalez, who won the National League batting title in 2010 when he hit .336 with 36 homers, is batting .238 with just 11 homers in limited action this year. He has struck out 70 times and walked just 19 times. His on-base percentage is .292.

Baltimore's Ace Wei-Yin Chen is 11-2 in his team starts against the money line (84.6%) versus an American League team with an on base percentage .320 or worse this season. Chen's personal five-game winning streak came to an abrupt end Aug. 6 at Toronto, which got to him for four runs and eight hits in five innings. He was scheduled to start Tuesday against New York but had his turn pushed back due to a rainout. The left-hander will have a chance to improve upon his last meeting with Cleveland on May 22 when he gave up five runs in 6 2/3 innings while striking out just one batter. Overall, Chen has been reached for 11 runs in 13 frames over two career starts versus the Indians.

Doc's Sports

NFLX

1 Unit Play. Take New England Patriots -2.5 over Philadelphia Eagles (Friday 7:30 pm) The coaches are big buddies but we will side with the Patriots in this affair. Coach Belichick has a winning record in the preseason and I expect a much better effort out of New England tonight than they showed at Washington last week. QB Tom Brady did not play in that game but rookie Jimmy Garoppolo actually looked good and that should give the Patriots the edge in the second half. The Patriots only have three quarterbacks on the roster and that is always a bonus compared to teams that have 4 quarterbacks.


1 Unit Play. Take New Orleans Saints -3 over Tennessee Titans (Friday 8 pm) Never like to lay this many points in the exhibition season, but New Orleans played to win in game 1 and I see that trend continuing in Week 2. Rob Ryan was blitzing like a mad men (which he is) at the end of their game in St. Louis last week going all out to win in a game that came down to third and fourth stringers. Hard to take away much from the Tennessee - Green Bay game since weather played a role but playing in the Superdome is always a factor that greatly favors the home team. Drew Brees did not play in Week 1 and the Saints still managed to complete 27 of their 40 passes. New Orleans win this game by double digits.


1 Unit Play. Take Oakland Raiders -2.5 over Detroit Lions (Friday 10 pm) I like the quarterback rotation for Oakland and expect a big bounce back effort after they did not perform well in Week 1 putting up just six points against a defensive minded coach in Mike Zimmer. Jim Caldwell is back as a head coach and his record in the preseason is just 3-10 straight-up. Enough said, as Dennis Allen needs all the wins he can get as a head coach even if it is just preseason! The Seahawks are 8-1 straight-up in their last 9 preseason games. They have also covered the spread in all 8 of those victories and beat San Diego by 21 points last season.


1 Unit Play. Take Seattle Seahawks -6 over San Diego Chargers (Friday 10 pm) The Seahawks finally lost a preseason game last week with a storm delay in the first half against Denver. Expect them to bounce back in a big way on Friday night against San Diego. Both teams played teams in Week 1 that they will play during the regular season so I do not put much stock in San Diego's victory or Seattle's loss.
