The Complete Game: "The Claw" is burning bettors' money early in 2018
Rob Hansen

Thursday night, Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers were taken down 8-6, as -400 moneyline favorites, by the Miami Marlins.

The month of April is almost complete. The tulips are popping up from their long winter hibernation and those of us living in northern climates are noticing the smells of spring – freshly mowed lawns, barbeque, and salt-water breezes (for those of us lucky enough to live near the ocean). It’s been a long wait, but summer is right around the corner.

This is also the time of year when you’ll hear baseball analysts and talking heads use the expression, “Their bats will warm up with the weather.”

Let’s be honest, oddsmakers are pretty good at their job. However, we’ll keep a close eye on betting totals and offensive production over the next couple of weeks to see if we can grab a slight edge on the books.

Over/Under number thus far on the season (prior to Friday’s games) are very even at 175-171 (50.58 percent Over) and over the last seven days are dead even at 44-44 (50 percent).

Just like those tulips that are popping up from their cold-weather slumbers, it’s about time some of these vaunted offenses around baseball came out of hibernation, too.

Week in review

This week we saw Oakland Athletics’ starting pitcher Sean Manaea toss a no-hitter as a +150 underdog at home against the Boston Red Sox, and we were all witness to the longest at-bat in “modern baseball history” (since they started tracking pitches per at-bat as an official statistic in 1988) when Los Angeles Angels’ starter Jaime Barria and San Francisco Giants’ first baseman Brandon Belt battled for 21 pitches this past Sunday.

That stuff was great, and there were plenty of other notable moments of the week, but the highlight of the week in the betting world was, unquestionably, the Miami Marlins taking two straight games from the defending National League champion Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium.

Wednesday night, Dillon Peters outdueled Kenta Maeda and the Marlins won 3-2, cashing as +225 underdogs. Then Thursday, three-time National League Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw looked uncharacteristically bad in an 8-6 win by The Fish, cashing as whopping +320 dogs. Kershaw walked six batters in just five innings of work – six walks is generally over a month’s worth for peak-Kershaw. The Arizona Diamondbacks better look out next week because “The Claw” is pissed off.

What to watch for this weekend

This weekend we will be treated to a series featuring two future powerhouses (possibly current powerhouses?) from the National League East as the Atlanta Braves travel to Philadelphia to take on the Phillies, and the Dodgers and Giants do battle for four games at AT&T Park in their third series already in 2018 (season series tied 3-3).

The weekend series that will draw the most attention, however, will be the New York Yankees traveling to Anaheim to take on the Angels. Any time you get names like Mike Trout, Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Albert Pujols, and Shohei Ohtani on the field at the same time, the baseball world is going to take notice.

The Yanks send their ace Luis Severino to the hill Friday night as -140 favorites and he’ll be able to do his thing against a struggling Angels’ offense that's averaging only 2.44 runs per game over their last nine.

Saturday night will open around a Pick ‘Em (Yankees money may push them to a slight favorite by game time) when Masahiro Tanaka goes up against Garrett Richards. The Yanks have never lost a Tanaka start against the Angels and in two career starts at Angel Stadium he has allowed only one run in 14.1 innings of work (0.63 ERA). On the other hand, Richards’ last start against the Yankees was not his best work as he allowed six runs in just 0.2 innings and 37 pitches - six runs on 37 pitches in not an easy thing to do. The Yankees should be able to cash again in Game 2.

The final game of the series goes Sunday night with CC Sabathia taking on Tyler Skaggs. The Angels’ lefty is coming off a very good outing in Houston against the Astros but New York hits left-handed pitching very well, in fact, they own the top OPS in the American League (.843) against lefties heading into the weekend. The Angels also hit southpaws well, so I expect a slugfest in front of a national television audience. The total should open at around 8.5 or 9.

Betting Stats

Since we now have a month of data from the 2018 season to look at, let’s dive into the best/worst money earners for both teams and starting pitchers over the opening four weeks.

The top two teams on the Money Statistics table are, not coincidentally, the top two teams in each league. The Red Sox (19-5) top the table, earning 13.04 units for bettors, and the Diamondbacks (17-7) are close behind at 11.23 units to the positive.

At the bottom of the earnings table are the two worst teams in baseball in the Cincinnati Reds (-14.47 units) and the Kansas City Royals (-12.36 units). While it may not come as much of a surprise that the Reds and Royals are burying stacks of cash, the next team on the list may be a surprise to some – the Dodgers. Los Angeles is close to .500 at 11-12 heading into the weekend but they are burning chalk at a ferocious pace to start the season, costing bettors 11.54 units thus far.

In the Starter Money Statistics category, Phillies’ Nick Pivetta stands alone with a team win/loss record of 5-0 and an even 5.0 units earned for bettors. Interestingly, the Win/Under parlay is 4-0-1 in his five starts which speaks to how well he’s been throwing in 2018. Pivetta will climb the hill Saturday against the Braves with the Phils favored at -135 to -140.

At the bottom of the starter’s table is the aforementioned Kershaw. He had some hard-luck losses early in the season and his awful start against the Marlins pushed him all of the way to the basement at -7.76 units. Kershaw, obviously, pitches every game as a large moneyline favorite so it’s very easy to quickly burn piles of cash, but he was getting the same lines last year and he finished the season as the No. 2 money starter in baseball with 12.35 units earned.

Will Kershaw turn his season around? Yes. Will he be able to dig bettors out of the hole that he’s buried them in early in 2018? Not likely as a big favorite every start.

Saturday's NBA Playoffs betting preview and odds

We get treated to the two greatest words in sports in Saturday night's NBA Playoff action "Game 7". The Bucks and Celtics play a win or go home contest, while the Pelicans and Warriors are the first second round series to tip off.

Milwaukee Bucks at Bostons Celtics (-4.5, 195.5)

Series tied 3-3

The home team won the first six games of the first-round series between Milwaukee and Boston and Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is out to change that pattern in Saturday's Game 7. The "Greek Freak" can add to his reputation if he can steer Milwaukee past the Celtics in Boston and into the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, TNT, FS Wisconsin (Milwaukee), NBCS Boston

SERIES PRICE: OFF.

LINE MOVES AND BETTING ACTION: The Celtics opened this win-or-go-home Game 7 as 4.5-poiny home favorites and that's where the number still sits. Game 7 opened with the lowest total of the whole series by two whole points at 197 after Games 5 and 6 went Under by an average of 20.3 points per game. The number is already down to 195.5 and even 195 at some shops. This seems to sharp money driving the action with 63 percent of wagers on the Over according to our consensus. Bettors are also giving the Celtics a slight edge, with 54 percent of wagers on them to cover the home chalk.

INJURY REPORT:

Bucks - C John Henson (Questionable, back).

Celtics - PF Marcus Morris (Probable, thigh), PG Kyrie Irving (Out, knee), SF Gordon Hayward (Out, ankle), PF Daniel Theis (Out, knee).

ABOUT THE BUCKS (47-41, 36-47-5 ATS, 50-37-1 O/U): Antetokounmpo recorded 31 points and 14 rebounds as the Bucks forced a Game 7 with Thursday's 97-86 victory as 4.5-point faves. Antetokounmpo scored 30 or more points on three occasions in the series but his aggressiveness was back at a star level on Thursday after he took just 10 shots in a Game 5 loss in Boston. The play of Antetokounmpo (26.3 points, 9.7 rebounds) and forward Khris Middleton (23.5 average) has been consistently good but the duo needs someone from the trio of guard Eric Bledsoe (12 points per game), forward Jabari Parker (10.2) and guard Malcolm Brogdon (9.8) to step up on Saturday.

ABOUT THE CELTICS (58-30, 54-32-2 ATS, 47-40-1 O/U): Second-year shooting guard Jaylen Brown (20.5) is one of five Celtics averaging in double digits in the series with center Al Horford (16.8 points, 8.8 rebounds), guard Terry Rozier (16.2), small forward Jayson Tatum (14.7) and power forward Marcus Morris (13.8) being the others. Boston won its three previous home games in the series by an average of 8.3 points, covering the spread in each instance.

MATCHUP CHART:



TRENDS:

* Bucks are 0-4 ATS in their last four road games.
* Celtics are 8-1 ATS in their last nine games following a ATS loss.
* Over is 7-1 in Bucks last eight road games.
* Over is 6-1 in Celtics last seven home games.
* Over is 10-2-1 in the last 13 meetings in Boston.




New Orleans Pelicans at Golden State Warriors (-9, 224)

The New Orleans Pelicans were surprisingly dominant in sweeping the third-seeded Portland Trail Blazers in the first round of the playoffs, but a much bigger challenge looms. The Pelicans will try to get an early advantage when they visit the defending NBA champion Golden State Warriors in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals on Saturday.

TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, TNT

SERIES PRICE (PER PINNACLE):



LINE MOVES AND BETTING ACTION: The Warriors opened Game 1 of their second round series with the Pelicans as 7.5-point home favorites, but that number quickly moved to -9, where the line currently sits. And it seems sharp moneyis driving that action considering 68 percent of wagers are on the Pelicans according to our consensus. The total hit the board at 222.5 and has also been bet up to the current number of 224, which isn't surprising considering 62 percent of bets are on the Over.

INJURY REPORT:

Pelicans - C DeMarcus Cousins (Out, achilles), PG Frank Jackson (Out, foot), C Alexis Ajinca (Out, knee).

Warriors - PG Stephen Curry (Questionable, knee), SG Patrick McCaw (Out, back), SF Chris Boucher (Out, ankle).

ABOUT THE PELICANS (52-34, 49-36-1 ATS, 49-37 O/U): New Orleans superstar Anthony Davis averaged 33 points on 57.6 percent shooting and 11.8 rebounds in the four-game sweep of Portland and will look to keep rolling against the defending champs. Davis is the unquestioned leader of the team, but guards Jrue Holiday and Rajon Rondo and power forward Nikola Mirotic are keys to an offense that is running at high speed. Holiday averaged 27.8 points on 56.8 percent shooting against the Trail Blazers while Rondo averaged 13.3 assists.

ABOUT THE WARRIORS (62-25, 37-49-1 ATS, 41-45-1 O/U): The Warriors knocked out the San Antonio Spurs in five games in the first round without star point guard Stephen Curry (knee), who is practicing with the team but remains a question mark for Game 1. Curry sat out the last 15 games with a knee sprain. Kevin Durant averaged 28.2 points in the first round to help cover some of Curry's lost scoring while shooting guard Klay Thompson averaged 22.6 points and shot 51.6 percent from 3-point range.

MATCHUP CHART:



TRENDS:

* Pelicans are 5-0 ATS in their last five road games.
* Warriors are 2-6 ATS in their last eight home games.
* Under is 6-1 in Pelicans last seven road games vs. a team with a winning home record.
* Over is 4-1-1 in Warriors last six home games.
* Over is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings.

Boston Bruins at Tampa Bay Lightning (-155, 6)

The Tampa Bay Lightning will be a very well-rested team when they host the Boston Bruins on Saturday afternoon for Game 1 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series. The Lightning wrapped up their first-round series April 21 by topping New Jersey in five games while the Bruins trailed by a goal going into the decisive Game 7 before rallying for a 7-4 victory over Toronto on Wednesday.

TV: 3 p.m. ET, NBC, Sportsnet, TVA

SERIES PRICE (PER SPORTS INTERACTION):



LINE MOVES AND BETTING ACTION: The Lighning opened Game 1 as -145 faovrites and have been bet u slightly to -155. The total hit the board at an even 6.

GP W L GAA SAVE % SO
Tuuka Rask (Boston) 7 4 3 2.94 .899 0
Andrei Vasilevskiy (Tampa Bay) 5 4 1 2.01 .941 0

ABOUT THE BRUINS: The Bruins won the first three games in the season series before suffering a 4-0 defeat at Tampa Bay in the finale April 3. David Pastrnak is third in the league in scoring during the playoffs with 13 points for Boston, which averaged four goals in the first round. Pastrnak, left wing Brad Marchand (nine points), Torey Krug (eight points) and captain Zdeno Chara (plus-5 rating) were solid in the first round. Rookie left wing Jake DeBrusk matched Pastrnak with five goals to lead the Bruins in the first round.

ABOUT THE LIGHTNING: Nikita Kucherov led Tampa Bay with five goals and five assists against New Jersey. Tampa Bay was much improved on the penalty kill in the first-round series, giving up three goals on 19 attempts (two when down two skaters), but face a Bruins team that was 7-for-22 with the man advantage against Toronto. Ryan McDonagh, who had four assists in the first round, and Anton Stralman have become the shutdown pair that will often face the Marchand-Patrice Bergeron-Pastrnak line while Norris Trophy candidate Victor Hedman is averaging a team-high 26:24 of ice time.

San Jose Sharks at Vegas Golden Knights (-175, 5.5)

Golden Knights lead series 1-0

The Vegas Golden Knights have experienced a string of firsts in their record-setting expansion season but jitters have not been among them. The bright lights of the postseason have done nothing to slow the Golden Knights, who look to take a 2-0 lead over visiting San Jose on Saturday in their Western Conference semifinal after thrashing the Sharks 7-0 in the series opener.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, NBC, CBC, SN, TVAS

SERIES PRICE (PER SPORTS INTERACTION):



LINE MOVES AND BETTING ACTION: The line opened with the Golden Knights as hefty -175 home faves for Game 2 and that's where the line remains. The total hit the board at 5.5. This is another game where bettors are giving a big edge to the home team with 70 percent of wagers on the Knights, while 60 percent of wagers are on the Over.

GP W L GAA SAVE % SO
Martin Jones (San Jose) 5 4 1 2.05 .938 1
Marc Andre-Fluery (Vegas) 5 5 0 0.54 .982 3

ABOUT THE SHARKS: Sharks forward Evander Kane received a one-game suspension Friday for cross-checking Vegas defenseman Pierre-Edouard Bellemare. Kane was San Jose's big-ticket acquisition from Buffalo at the trade deadline and scored three times in the first-round sweep of Anaheim after netting nine goals in 17 regular-season games. Martin Jones allowed four goals in four games versus the Ducks but was chased 3.5 minutes into the second period after surrendering five goals on 13 shots. Sharks C Joe Thornton cented the No. 1 line at Friday's practice but will not play in Game 2.

ABOUT THE GOLDEN KNIGHTS: The Golden Knights scored seven goals in the four-game sweep of Los Angeles in the first round but matched the total in the series. The early cushion certainly made his job easier, but Marc-Andre Fleury became the 14th goaltender in history -- and first in 14 years -- to record three shutouts in his team's first five playoff games, even taking time to join the T-Mobile Arena fans in the wave. While Vegas received goals from seven different players, its top line of Jonathan Marchessault, William Karlsson and Reilly Smith accounted for nine points, with Smith collecting six assists over a four-game point streak.

MATCHUP CHART:



TRENDS:

* Sharks are 4-1 in their last five games playing on one days rest.
* Golden Knights are 8-0 in their last eight vs. a team with a winning record.
* Over is 5-0-3 in Sharks last eight Conference Semifinals games.
* Under is 5-1 in Golden Knights last six after scoring five goals or more in their previous game.
* Home team is 4-1 in the last five meetings.
