HOT LINES

Wednesday's Best MLB Bets

Kansas City Royals at Seattle Mariners (-145, 7.5)

Last Wednesday, Royals outfielder Jose Guillen told Fox Sports Kansas City that the team he played for was fundamentally “one of the worst teams in all of baseball.”

The mercurial Guillen, who is on the trading block, went on to say, “sometimes you want to just punch [the younger players on the team], but you can’t do that because they’re your teammates.” Guillen admitted his disdain for adolescent MLB players came from their lack of respect for the game.

Normally talking to the media in this manner would put you in the doghouse, but Kansas City GM Dayton Moore received Guillen’s words in a different light.

“I read it, and I took it as a positive,” Moore said. “I know Jose’s spoken this way in the past, but I know from the conversations we’ve had that he’s happy about being here.”

Guillen does enjoy his veteran role on the underdog Royals club and cornerstones a lineup that produces the best average in baseball. That’s right…Kansas City’s .283 team batting average is tops in MLB.

The Royals are 7-3 in their last 10 games (+6.41 units) and are playing better than .500 ball since Ned Yost took over as manager. Expect this scrappy K.C. squad to pick up another underdog win Wednesday.

Pick: KC Royals


New York Yankees at Oakland Athletics (-105, 8)

Oakland Coliseum is known as a pitcher’s park with deep fences and vast foul territories. Rarely will a bettor come across an Athletics home total exceeding nine runs.

Conversely, the Yankees lineup is so stacked that oddsmakers are reluctant to post a total lower than nine. In fact, only seven of New York’s 82 games this season have incurred a total fewer than eight runs.

There are a few factors that should lead bettors to believe this contest could exceed the game total. One is Mother Nature, where the wind will be gusting out to right-center field at 13 mph.

The second is the pitching matchup of A.J. Burnett versus Gio Gonzalez. Prior to his most recent start, Burnett had surrendered 29 earned runs over his last 23.0 innings on the mound. Gonzalez has been in fine form of late but the Yanks touched him up for five runs in 4.1 innings during a 7-3 victory on April 20.

Most boards are offering this game’s total at 8.5 but if you shop around there are still some 8’s available. A half run of insurance is always good if you can get it but this contest should sail into double digits.

Pick: Over

WNBA NEWS AND NOTES
2010 WNBA POWER RANKINGS: 7/2
By Frank Della Femina



TEAM (last week) W / L NOTES
1
Seattle (1) 14-2 The league's best team improved to 14-2 since the last go round of team rankings and, in turn, remains the team to beat. Even without Sue Bird in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Silver Stars, the Storm still won by the final of 86-72. Lauren Jackson, fresh off her third Player of the Week honor for the 2010 season, dropped 31 points and snatched 15 rebounds in the win. What's equally impressive is that in addition to Jackson, four other players finished with double figures. Swin Cash was second on the team with 16 points, while Le'coe WIllingham, Tanisha Wright and Svetlana Abrosimova each tallied 11. With the exception of New York, Seattle's next three games are against teams that have struggled as of late. It'll be interesting to see how those matchups pan out.
Next Three Games: 7/3 at Los Angeles, 7/6 vs. New York, 7/14 at Phoenix

2
Atlanta (3) 13-4 Thursday's 76-58 win over the Minnesota Ly*x marked four straight for the red-hot Atlanta Dream, who improved to 13-4 to maintain hold of first place in the East. Iziane Castro Marques led all Atlanta scorers with 22 points, only further emphasizing the depth of this squad. In each of Atlanta 17 games, Angel McCoughtry has finished with double figures. Thursday's game was no different, as she ended the meeting with 10 points on 4-of-16 shooting. On Saturday the Dream hosts the Sky, one of the four teams to beat Atlanta so far this season. The race is still pretty tight in the Eastern Conference, but Atlanta's making it look easy.
Next Three Games: 7/3 vs. Chicago, 7/7 vs. Connecticut, 7/14 at Minnesota

3
Washington (4) 11-5 How valuable is Katie Smith to the Washington Mystics? Well, during Thursday night's neck-and-neck game against the Mercury, Smith scored nine straight points for the Mystics to close out the 107-104 win. Six of those nine came from the free throw line where clutch shooting preserved the lead. Smith's 25 point night marked the second straight game in which she's scored 20 or more. The win improved Washington's record to 11-5, snapping the second place tie with Connecticut who lost earlier in the night to Chicago, and pulling them within one game of the Dream. As a further credit to the Mystics, they are not only getting it done by means of a win-by-committee approach that coach Plank discussed earlier in the season, but they are doing it with only nine active players on the roster. On Thursday, eight of those nine registered three or more points.
Next Three Games: 7/3 vs. Tulsa, 7/15 at New York, 7/18 vs. Chicago

4
Indiana (2) 9-6 The Indiana Fever jumped up a spot in last week's power rankings after beating both the Seattle Storm and Atlanta Dream. This time out they drop back after losing two of the last three. However, you can't dismiss the fact that both of those losses came in very close games. Friday's loss to the Storm ended with the final score of 85-81, while Tuesday's ESPN 2 game against the Mystics ended with Washington edging out a 68-65 finish. Nevertheless, if the playoffs started today the Fever would make the cut. Up next is Chicago, a team that has yet to beat the Fever in three outings this season.
Next Three Games: 7/6 at Chicago, 7/8 vs. Tulsa, 7/14 vs. Connecticut

5
Connecticut (5) 10-6 For the first time this month, and only the second time in her young career, Tina Charles finished Thursday night's game against the Chicago Sky with less than 10 points. What's more, her streak of six consecutive double-doubles came to an end as well, as she finished the night with five points and six rebounds on 2-of-9 shooting. Surely by now teams know what Charles is capable of on a nightly basis. With Charles, the good games will always outweigh the bad ones. But that doesn't hide the fact that the Sun is currently going through a bit of a rough patch, more so a tag-team rhythm of win-loss-win-loss when you look at the last few games. Reason to worry? Hardly. Coach Thibault remains confident that his team will be where they want to be after the Stars at the Sun game on July 10th.
Next Three Games: 7/6 at San Antonio, 7/7 at Atlanta, 7/14 at Indiana

6
New York (8) 7-7 The New York Liberty is riding a season-best three-game win streak into Phoenix on Saturday. Cappie Pondexter has undoubtedly played a big part in the team's recent success, but a lot can also be said of Taj McWilliams-Franklin, who reached a season-high 14 points against the Sparks on Tuesday, and Nicole Powell, who has crossed the double-figure mark in two of her last three games. Pondexter's return to Phoenix will obviously be a big topic of discussion on Saturday, but the opportunity for New York to extend its win streak to four straight should not be overlooked.
Next Three Games: 7/3 at Phoenix, 7/6 at Seattle, 7/11 vs. Chicago

7
Chicago (9) 7-9 "We know if we're healthy, we can make the playoffs." That's what an optimistic Coach Steve Key said before Chicago's second game of the season back in May. His statement gained a little more momentum following Thursday night's 92-80 win over the Connecticut Sun. As a team, the Sky shot an impressive 58.6 percent from the field, as Sylvia Fowles (26), Tamera Young (15), Mistie Bass (13), Erin Thorn (12) and Jia Perkins (11) each finished with double figures. Count em up. That's five players finishing in double figures. Even rookie Epiphanny Prince contributed an efficient eight points on 3-of-6 shooting. Efforts like this one will only strengthen Chicago's chances at cracking the postseason for the first time in franchise history. Saturday's match against the Dream will surely be a test, as this season's series record stands at one a piece.
Next Three Games: 7/3 at Atlanta, 7/6 vs. Indiana, 7/11 at New York

8
Minnesota (7) 5-11 Seimone Augustus came back ready to play. Candice Wiggins was just starting to get into her groove. Just when things were really starting to look up for the Minnesota Ly*x this season, Wiggins ruptured her Achilles against the Liberty and the Ly*x watched a three-game win streak come to a halt on Saturday against the Silver Stars. Monica Wright has picked up some more minutes since, but that rookie rust is still apparent after she shot 1-for-8 and tallied only five points in Thursday's loss to the Dream. Augustus was the only player on Minnesota to finish in double figures with 17 points on 8-of-15 shooting. While others certainly did their part to chip in, the fact is Minnesota shot a combined 20-for-67 from the field, or 30 percent.
Next Three Games:7/8 vs. San Antonio, 7/14 vs. Atlanta, 7/17 vs. Seattle

9
San Antonio (10) 5-9 The Silver Stars just cannot find a rhythm right now. The team's longest win streak of two in a row came back on May 20th and 22nd in wins over Tulsa and Los Angeles, respectively. Since then it's been a piece-by-piece approach to winning games. A win one night, a loss the next night. Yet, as is the case with a lot of struggling teams in the West, the playoffs are not entirely out of the picture. Thursday's loss to the Sparks dropped San Antonio to 5-9 on the season. However, given the Storm's command of the West (which also includes a 10-0 conference record), the Stars find themselves in second place. The good part is the team still has time to find itself before the postseason, especially now that Jayne Appel is healthy and starting to get her feet wet.
Next Three Games: 7/6 vs. Connecticut, 7/8 at Minnesota, 7/14 at Chicago

10
Phoenix (6) 5-11 The Phoenix Mercury returned home on Thursday to host the Washington Mystics after dropping three on the road to extend the team's losing streak to five straight. Phoenix desperately needed a win on their home court. Unfortunately for the Mercury and the home crowd, it was not to be. Diana Taurasi recorded only 11 points on the night on 5-of-12 shooting in her first game back with the team since injuring her back earlier in the week. Taurasi drained just one three-pointer on the night, but it came with .5 seconds left in the game to pull the Mercury within one. Unfortunately for the Mercury, Washington would hang in there behind two clutch free throws from Katie Smith to seal the win and hand Phoenix its sixth consecutive loss. Despite all that, things remain wide open in the West and Phoenix is still in playoff contention.
Next Three Games: 7/3 vs. New York, 7/6 at Los Angeles, 7/14 vs. Seattle

11
Los Angeles (11) 4-11 Since losing Candace Parker for the season with a shoulder injury, the Los Angeles Sparks had yet to register a win in four straight games. That all changed Thursday night against the Silver Stars, when Tina Thompson scored 24 points and hauled in 10 rebounds to power the Sparks to a 73-63 win. If it hasn't been stressed enough, here it is one more time: Struggling teams in the West are still in playoff contention. Thursday's win,combined with losses from Phoenix and Minnesota, allowed Los Angeles the opportunity to pick up a game in the standings. The next three games on the schedule are intra-conference matches that provide ample opportunity for LA to climb up the standings. Depending on how the chips fall, LA could move up a spot or two by the time the next installment of team rankings rolls out.
Next Three Games: 7/3 vs. Seattle, 7/6 vs. Phoenix, 7/13 at Tulsa

12
Tulsa (12) 3-12 Bad turned to worse for Tulsa over the past week, as the losing streak has now extended to nine straight games. Scholanda Robinson remains the top producer for the Shock, but Tulsa's concerns aren't so much on the offensive side of the ball as they are on the defensive end. Tulsa ranks 11th in the league in points allowed per game at 89.87. Only the Phoenix Mercury is worse, but in Phoenix's defense they still remain the number one offensive team in the league, averaging 91.53 ppg. Tulsa ranks fifth on offense with 80.80 per game. The next game against Washington will be a tough one for the Shock, who haven't won a home game since defeating the Ly*x on June 4th.
Next Three Games: 7/3 vs. Washington, 7/8 at Indiana, 7/13 vs. Los Angeles

Germany @ Spain
PICK: Germany

There are many options when wagering on soccer; this play is based off the greek Sports Book on Germany on the "money line" at +210:

David Villa has five goals in this tournament and he'll be called upon once again by Spain coach Vicente Del Bosque to try and slow down a German side that's brimming with confidence.

Spain defeated Germany in the Euro Championships two years ago; only six players remain from that tournament on this current German team which has been inundated with youth, including; Mesut Oezil, Thomas Mueller, Sami Khedira, Jerome Boateng and goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

Spain likes to control the ball and the pace of the game, but I believe German coach, Joachim Loew will be ready for it.

On the other side of the pitch: Miroslav Klose has 14 career goals and is just one shy of equaling Ronaldo as the all-time leader in World Cup history; he had two in Saturday's 4-0 dismantling of Argentina; "I hope Ronaldo isn't worried by it. We chatted after the 2002 World Cup final (where Brazil beat Germany 2-0 thanks to two goals from Ronaldo) and, at that time, I never thought I'd be in this situation," said the Bayern Munich star.

Bottom line: Germany is explosive; the 4-0 destruction of Argentina is the third time this team has scored four goals, which matches Brazil's 1970 record of getting four goal in three different games at the same World Cup.

Loew has been masterful in his game plans thus far as early leads have enabled the Germans to embarrass both sides with precision counter-attacks which left their more experienced opponents looking like novices.

I believe this will be the case once again as Spain will be on its heels trying to deal with the speed of the Germans.

GERMANY offers great value in this situation
