Streaking and Slumping Pitchers

Streaking

Felix Hernandez, Seattle Mariners (6-5, 3.01 ERA)

After struggling at the start of the year, the Mariners' ace is trying to head into the break on a high note. Hernandez is undefeated in his last five trips to the bump, posting a 3-0 record and giving up just seven runs over 42.2 innings of work. His most recent start lasted seven innings, in which he allowed two runs on six hits for a no decision in a 6-4 loss to the Kansas City Royals.

Gavin Floyd, Chicago White Sox (4-7, 4.43 ERA)

Floyd is another arm who got off to a slow start but has come around in his recent appearances. The ChiSox’s righty is 2-0 in his last four stars and has allowed only six earned runs over his last six trips to the mound. Floyd has won back-to-back starts for Chicago, recently giving up only one run on seven hits for a 9-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels.


Slumping

Scott Kazmir, Los Angeles Angels (7-8, 5.98 ERA)

The Halos southpaw has dropped three starts in a row, serving up a total of 17 earned runs while lasting only 14.1 innings during that span. He has a strikeout-to-walk count of 9-to-9 over those three starts, most recently walking five batters and giving up seven runs – including three home runs – in a 9-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox Monday. Kazmir is blaming his lackluster slider for those poor showings.


Returning

Matt Harrison. Texas Rangers (1-1, 4.47 ERA)

Harrison gets a crack at the Rangers’ fifth starter spot this weekend. He was brought up from Triple-A Oklahoma City and has made six big-league starts this season. In his last minor league start, the left-hander gave up three earned runs on nine hits in just under five innings of work Monday. His most recent MLB appearance was two innings of relief in which Harrison gave up one hit and walked a batter on June 27. Reply Reply With Quote

Hot Lines: Today's best MLB bets

New York Yankees at Seattle Mariners (-105, 7)

The Yankees didn’t land ace pitcher Cliff Lee, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t going to keep rattling off victories.

New York has put together two come-from-behind wins the last couple of games to extend its winning streak to six. Even when the Yanks aren’t converting with runners in scoring position, they are still finding ways to come out on top.

"We have confidence we're going to come up with a big hit, but we left a lot of guys on base," Alex Rodriguez said after his team went 1-for-11 with RISP in a 3-1 win over Seattle on Thursday. "We're just thinking of one opportunity to win the game."

If Brian Cashman could have pulled Lee out of his magic hat wearing pinstripes, the Yankees could have been just handed the Commissioner’s Trophy. But even without the game’s top lefty, New York is still head and shoulders above every team and will have no trouble working over King Felix and a pathetic Mariners offense Saturday.

Pick: Yankees


Florida Marlins at Arizona Diamondbacks (-135, 10.5)

It’s not every day that a decision in one sport affects players in another, but when it involves the name LeBron James nobody is left emotionless.

Minutes before the first pitch of the Marlins-Diamondbacks game Thursday night, shortstop Hanley Ramirez help up a sign to the camera that read “Welcome LeBron.” Ramirez had a big, cheesy grin on his face and was giving the thumbs up.

"It's going to be big. It's going to be huge," manager Edwin Rodriguez said. "Not only in Miami, but the whole area. Everybody knows who LeBron is. The good athletes, no matter the sport.”

We're just guessing the vibes of ecstasy the city of Miami is exuding right now will carry over into the Marlins' clubhouse. Call it a hunch, take it or leave it.

Pick: Marlins

Canadian Bacon: Week 2 Analysis and Picks

Saturday

Calgary Stampeders at Hamilton Tiger Cats (-2, 50.5)

The Stampeders were far from impressive last week against the worst team in the CFL. Sure, Henry Burris completed 27 of 40 pass attempts for 320 yards but he didn’t throw a single TD pass, got sacked twice and was intercepted once. Calgary better get into gear because the Tiger Cats will prove much more of a challenge than the Argos.

Kevin Glenn handled most of the plays under center for the Tiger Cats and finished 15 of 30 on pass attempts for 197 yards and a TD. Hamilton’s special teams produced a 93-yard kickoff return for a score last week and should a difference maker again.

Expect a great game from Hamilton kicker Sandro DeAngelis who will find extra motivation against his former team. Hamilton also showed promise on defense with four sacks and a couple of turnovers. Of course the unit ended up collapsing and allowed 502 yards to the Bombers. This will be a close one, but give the advantage to the home team.

Pick: Hamilton


Saskatchewan Roughriders at British Columbia Lions (-2.5, 53)

Can the Green Riders regroup after a thrilling roller-coaster ride that gave them a 54-51 double overtime win against the Grey Cup defending champs to kickoff the 2010 season? Lions QB Casey Printers has a history of success against Saskatchewan, but Riders quarterback Darian Durant was almost perfect in last week against the Alouettes.

It will all come down to which defense will play the best. One thing seems for sure, Durant, who was 30 in 44 for 478 yards and 5 TDs against Montreal, won’t have as much fun against the Lions secondary.

Pick: Under

SOCCER NEWS AND NOTES
What Bettors Need To Know: Germany vs. Uruguay

Germany vs. Uruguay

Odds: Germany -244 to win outright, Uruguay +227 to win outright; Over/under (3)

The low point of a splendid World Cup comes a day before the tournament’s final match. The third-place game, meaningless to most viewers, will be played between two nations entering the pitch with mixed emotions.

While finishing third in a World Cup is a great honor, it seems terribly unsatisfying for a pair of teams that was so close to playing for the world crown on Sunday.

Figuring out which national squad wants the victory the most is the key to handicapping the contest.

Different Strokes For Different Folks

This is Germany’s second straight appearance in the World Cup third-place match. The three-time world champs beat Portugal in the first runners-up game in 2006, but that was in Germany. Still, Die Mannschaft have finished no worse than third in any of the last three World Cups and they placed second in Euro 2008.

Uruguay, on the other hand, haven’t made it this far in the World Cup since 1970. The tiny South American country exceeded well beyond their expectations and a third-place finish would be a great way to cap off a memorable month for the 16th-ranked nation in FIFA’s power ratings.

"Now what's left is to play to the death for third place," Uruguay forward Luis Suarez told reporters. "Because we know we've had a great World Cup, we don't want to just make do with being among the top four."

Ins And Outs

Uruguay leading scorer Diego Forlan admitted to playing with a thigh injury in his team’s semifinal against the Netherlands and, despite adding to his World Cup goal tally in the match, it was apparent he wasn’t fully fit.

He’s holding out hope that he’ll suit up and be among the Celeste’s starting 11.

“I hope to be fit for Saturday,” the Athetico Madrid striker told press members this week. “I really want to play for third place. Even that would be great for everyone.”

Forlan isn’t the only star player whose availability is in doubt. German striker Miroslav Klose is dealing with a sore back and the injury is bad enough that some are saying he won’t play Saturday, even though he has a chance to pass Brazil star Ronaldo for most career goals scored at the World Cup.

It’s not all bad news for fans looking for an abundance of goals in Saturday’s match. Uruguay’s Suarez, who’s second in team goals with three, will return to action after sitting out against the Netherlands because of a red card he received for a goal-saving handball versus Ghana.

Thomas Mueller, arguably Germany’s best player at this tournament, returns from suspension. The 20-year-old Bayern Munich forward has four goals and four helpers in just five matches at this World Cup.

Did He Really Say That?

German captain Philipp Lahm was honest and frank with reporters following his team’s 1-0 loss to Spain.

"Right now, I really don't feel like playing for third place," captain Philipp Lahm said. "The disappointment is very big. We had a lot as our goal and we didn't succeed."

Yahoo! Sports reports that Germany will fly home immediately after their match on Saturday, regardless of the result.

One more German note: Dutch forward Dirk Kuyt told reporters Germany looked scared against Spain.

“(Germany) didn’t try to attack,” Kuyt told London paper The Independent. “We are going to attack and then you will see weaknesses coming to the surface. If you play like the Germans you are definitely going to lose.

“We don’t have players who are afraid and we don’t have players who feel small against the big opponents. There is respect for Spain but not fear.”

Numbers To Know

Uruguay have allowed five goals in their last three matches after holding their opponents scoreless in group play.

Germany are 4-0 when scoring the first goal and 0-2 when conceding the first goal in this tournament.

BETTOR'S TIPS AND NOTES
Bettor's Best Friend (BBF): Saturday's Wagering Tips

Lines To Keep An Eye On

Twins at Tigers – The home squad opened as a -140 favorite but a few markets have moved that moneyline up to -155.

Royals at White Sox – Chicago is on fire once again and surfaced as a -180 favorite in this contest. Some shops have moved the moneyline to an even -200.

Orioles at Rangers – After Texas traded for Cliff Lee the team opened as a -225 favorite in this game but some boards are offering as high as -250 now.

Angels at Athletics – The total for this game has dropped to 8.5 after opening at 9.

Weather Report
(Forecasts are extracted from Weather.com the night before the game.)

Orioles at Rangers – The forecast calls for a 40 percent chance of rain throughout the game. Game 2 of the series was delayed Friday night because of rain.

Reds at Phillies – A 50-60 percent chance of precipitation is in the forecast.

Giants at Nationals – The National Weather Service projects a 40-60 percent chance of rain.

Braves at Mets – A 60 percent chance of precipitation is in the forecast throughout the game.

Who’s Hot

Going into Friday, the White Sox had won five games in a row.

The home team has won eight of the last 10 meetings in the Hamilton-Calgary series (CFL).

Spokane (AFL) has won eight consecutive games.

Who’s Not

The Angels and Mariners had both dropped four straight games heading into Friday.

Bossier (AFL) is 0-4 ATS in its last four games, getting outscored by a margin of 24.0 ppg.

Saskatchewan (CFL) is 1-6 ATS in its last seven games versus British Columbia.

Key Stat

4 – The number of wins any pitcher on the Baltimore roster has yet to achieve. If no Orioles pitcher gets to four wins before the All-Star break it would be the first team in MLB history to do so.

Injury That Shouldn’t Be Overlooked

Minnesota Twins first baseman Justin Morneau is day-to-day with a minor concussion. Morneau took a knee to the head while sliding at second base in Wednesday's game. A former MVP, he is batting .345 with 18 homers and 56 RBIs this season. Bettors will want to check the Twins lineup before placing a wager to see if Morneau will be available.

Game Of The Day

Germany vs Uruguay

Notable Quotable

"Do I think LeBron James as he leaves Cleveland will become the most hated man in Cleveland, more hated than Art Modell?. Nonsense. Nonsense. I don't think there's any basis for it. Maybe we can each take 10 foul shots. Whoever comes in second would be the most hated. I'm being sarcastic."

-- NFL owner Art Modell, who moved the Cleveland Browns to Baltimore in 1996.

Tips And Notes

- The average goals scored in third-place World Cup matches since 1974 is 3.875. No match during those eight tournament games saw fewer than three goals scored. The total for the Uruguay-Spain match on Saturday sits at 2.5 (-133) so if you like historic trends the OVER would be the play. A lack of motivation in the consolation game could equate to less defense being played. Also, teams tend to play a lot of reserves in these situations and those guys are going to go all out. Top striker Suarez is also in for Uruguay and he may have something to prove.

- The Chicago Rush (AFL) are going to be a few men short in their game Saturday versus Arizona. The UFL collected the team’s top wide receiver, Sammie Parker, because he was under contract and Chicago’s starting fullback, Robert Boss, left the team this week to go coach at his alma mater. The Rush’s No. 2 and 3 wideouts are on injured reserve. Arizona has won six of its last seven games while going 6-1 ATS in that stretch. The spread for this game has moved from Arizona +4 down to +2.

- Here are a few key numbers for MLB totals bettors. Arizona’s Chase Field produces the most runs per game at 11.2 while Safeco Field (Seattle) yields the least at 7.1 rpg. The Rangers and Yankees are the highest-scoring teams at home (6.2 rpg) while the Pirates plate the fewest runners at home with a 3.4 rpg average. Road teams are least productive in San Francisco and New York (Mets) where they average only 3.0 runs per outing at AT&T Park and Citi Field.

Hondo suffered a third straight flush job last night when he went draino with the Metamucils, whose failure to make a deposit for him increased the IOUs to 885 ceys.
