Unfair MLB blackout rules keep Vegas baseball bettors in the dark

Apr 07, 2015

It’s no secret that Major League Baseball is my favorite sport to watch and wager on. I’d say 75 percent of my wagers over the year are on baseball. The long season with lots of games goes a long way toward that.

Las Vegas is home to the biggest and baddest places in America to wager on sports. Las Vegas is also, by far, the best place to watch just about every sport. Except my favorite sport - baseball.

Whether I’m at home or at the sports book, it’s impossible to watch every baseball game being played on a given day. Even though Las Vegas doesn’t have a MLB team, it’s considered to be a home market for way too many different teams. Those teams including the Arizona Diamondbacks, Los Angeles Dodgers, Los Angeles Angels, Oakland A’s, San Francisco Giants, San Diego Padres. This means that on any given day there may be six games not shown in on TV (cable or satellite) or MLB.TV or in the sportsbook.

Angels and Padres games are shown on local TV (Fox Sports West and Cox 96, respectively) regularly so it’s possible (and likely) to find many of their games on TV in and out of the book. Sometimes the Diamondbacks are show locally on Cox 96 as well. Trying to watch a game with one of the other teams isn’t so easy when they’re blacked out. You’ll have to wait for the rare, but increasing, occasion where they are the national game of the day or night on ESPN or Fox.

It’s more likely you’ll have to watch one of these teams in one of the tiny boxes of a DirecTv multi-box scoreboard or on a gamecast on your mobile phone. Last season, I watched way too many games via gamecast on my mobile phone while in a casino. In casinos that had wifi, I'd even bring my earbuds and listen to a game on the MLB app. Thankfully, I can multi-task by watching other games or playing video poker at the sportsbook bar while I keep track of one of these teams on my phone.

The cries for Major League Baseball to lift the blackouts in Las Vegas grow louder every year but the league hasn’t budged. Blackouts were created to encourage people to buy a ticket to watch the games in person. As technology continues to get better, this rule will likely change. In the meantime, MLB is negotiating very lucrative television rights deals, so the blackouts aren't going anywhere yet.

I’ve done my share of complaining about the Major League Baseball blackout rules in Las Vegas and will continue to do so on my personal time. I’m used to it by now but it still makes me cranky.

The purpose of this article isn't to complain but to make you aware of the MLB blackout rules the next time you visit the sportsbook and don’t see a game from the Padres, Dodgers, Angels, Rockies, Giants or A’s on one of the TV screens.

Wednesday's Top Action

April 8, 2015

BOSTON RED SOX (1-0) at PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES (0-1)

First pitch: Wednesday, 7:05 p.m. ET
Sportsbook.ag Line and Total: Boston -135, Philadelphia +125, Total: 8

The Phillies look to rebound from the pounding they took from this Boston Red Sox group in the opener when they meet in Philadelphia on Wednesday.

The Red Sox come into this year off a poor 2014 season, but made a flurry of moves in the offseason in order to improve and it certainly paid off on Opening Day. In the game they won 8-0 over this Phillies team behind nine hits and one of their newer acquisitions, OF Hanley Ramirez, jacked two HRs (5 RBIs) as longtime Boston 2B Dustin Pedroia hit a pair of long balls himself. The other big offseason signing, 3B Pablo Sandoval, did not get in the groove early, going 0-for-5 with three strikeouts.

Philadelphia is in a transition phase and has shed a few of its bigger contracts in an effort to improve its future. If Monday’s contest was a foreshadowing of the season to come, the Phillies are in trouble as they managed a meager three hits as they went 0-for-3 with RISP. The 1-3 hitters were particularly poor, combining to go 0-for-12 with four strikeouts. The pitching matchup in this game will feature 26-year-old youngster RHP Rick Porcello (15-13, 3.43 ERA in 2014) and RHP Aaron Harang (12-12, 3.57 ERA in 2014); both making debuts with their new teams.

Neither team did well last year, finishing last in their respective divisions as Boston was a poor 37-44 (.457) when on the road as Philadelphia put up the same 37-44 record (.457) as the home team. The Red Sox win in the first game of this series upped their record to 3-2 against the Phillies over the past three seasons, outscoring them 30-12 in that time. Trends show us that Philadelphia is a mere 44-59 (.427) in home games against AL East opponents since 1997 as Boston is a poor 34-43 (.442) as a favorite of -110 or higher in the past two seasons. The injury report has closer Koji Uehara (Hamstring) on the 15-day DL for the Red Sox as the Phillies are still without OF Dominic Brown (Achillies) for a little longer.

Porcello was a tremendous starter in his time with the Tigers, putting together a career 76-63 record despite being just 26-years-old as he’s had double-digit wins in each of the past five seasons. He hit 200+ innings for the first time last year as he posted a career-best 3.43 ERA, but saw his strikeouts drop to a mere 5.7 K/9. With the fewer strikeouts came fewer walks, giving up just 1.8 BB/9 as he allowed a meager 0.79 homeruns per nine frames. Porcello has seen this opponent just once in his career when he grabbed a win behind six innings of three-run ball (7 hits) with three strikeouts. He hasn’t had much of a chance to face many of these National League opponents, but has seen OF Ben Revere 19 times, giving up seven hits (1 triple, 2 RBIs) and failing to strike him out.

Only one other player, OF Grady Sizemore, has double-digit at-bats against the righty and he is only 3-for-18 (.167) in that time with three strikeouts. The Sox bullpen was solid last year, going 21-27 (.438) with a 3.33 ERA (1.27 WHIP) as they successfully saved 36-of-54 (67%) games. Junichi Tazawa (0.00 ERA, 0 saves) will hold down the closers role until Uehara comes off the disabled list and he is coming off a solid 2014 campaign when he struck out better than a batter per inning and had a 2.86 ERA over 63.0 IP.

Harang really had an impressive bounce-back season in 2014 with the Braves, getting a career-best 3.57 ERA as he struck out over seven batters per nine innings for the second consecutive year. He didn’t allow many balls to leave the park during the season, with a mere 0.66 HR/9 as he also left a solid 74.8% of runners on base. It will be tough to imagine that he can repeat this type of performance once again as he eclipsed 200 innings for the first time since 2007 and has a career ERA of 4.21. Harang has gone 2-2 (2-3 team record) with a poor 5.08 ERA (1.48 WHIP) when facing the Red Sox and his team has lost each of his past two meetings with them.

OF Hanley Ramirez could continue an early surge as he’s gone 10-for-29 (.345) against the veteran with five homers and seven RBIs while DH David Ortiz (5-for-11, 3 doubles, 1 HR, six RBIs) has also been great when facing him. On the other hand, 3B Pablo Sandoval (5-for-26, 4 Ks) has not seen the ball well coming out of Harang’s hand. Philadelphia’s bullpen was decent last year, going 26-24 (.520) with a 3.64 ERA (1.28 WHIP) as they were 40-for-56 (.714) in save opportunities. Jonathan Papelbon (2.04 ERA, 39 saves) will be the closer for the Phillies for the fourth straight year and in his time here he is 106-for-121 (88%) in save chances.

SAN DIEGO PADRES (1-1) at LOS ANGELES DODGERS (1-1)

First pitch: Wednesday, 10:10 p.m. ET
Sportsbook.ag Line and Total: San Diego +120, Los Angeles -130, Total: 7

Division rivals, the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers, finish off the first series of the new season on Wednesday night.

The Padres weere the busiest team in the offseason and have completely revamped their team in all areas of the game. They added names such as Matt Kemp, Wil Myers, James Shields and Justin Upton to their ballclub and most recently grabbed Craig Kimbrel just a day before the season began. The moves will certainly make this division more interesting and through the first two games you can already see a bitter rivalry brewing. These clubs split the first two contests of this series and San Diego is coming off a 7-3 win on Tuesday where they scored four ninth inning runs to earn the win.

The Dodgers ballclub also has a ton of new faces this year as they attempt to put together another great season and they opened the year with a solid 6-3 win behind a late three-run homer from newcomer Jimmy Rollins. They kept the game close until the very end on Tuesday, but committed three errors and had only five chances with RISP. The bottom of the order is typically not the best, but they were horrible for this group on Tuesday with the seven through nine hitters going hitless over 11 at-bats with five strikeouts. Getting the start for the visitors in this rubber-match will be RHP Andrew Cashner (5-7, 2.55 ERA in 2014) as he faces off against RHP Brandon McCarthy (10-15, 4.05 ERA in 2014) of the host team.

Los Angeles has dominated this series over the past few years, going 24-16 (.600) since the start of the 2013 campaign and are 4-2 in the past six games when at home. Some trends to watch include that McCarthy’s teams have gone 3-13 (.188) in the first half of the season since the start of past year as the Padres are 30-53 (.361) on the road in the same timeframe. The injury report has OF Melvin Upton Jr. (Foot) of the Padres and closer Kenley Jansen (Foot) of the Dodgers currently on the 15-day DL.

Cashner has made a tremendous transition to the starter’s role over the past few seasons and has had less than a 3.10 ERA in 45 starts in the past two years. He has seen his strikeout rate drop from double-digits to a mere 6.8 K/9 last year, but has managed to still be very effective with just 2.1 BB/9 and barely any balls leaving the park (0.51 HR/9 in 2014). He’s looked great in his six starts against the Dodgers, going 1-1 (3-3 team record) with a miniscule 1.32 ERA (1.10 WHIP) and has not given up more than two runs in any of those outings. Last year, he took them on three times, pitching 19 innings and giving up just four runs on 19 hits as he struck out 15 batters with three walks.

The only player on Los Angeles who has gone yard against Cashner is 1B Adrian Gonzalez who hasn’t done too well overall (6-for-22, 1 HR, 3 RBIs, 6 Ks) in the matchup while OF Carl Crawford (6-for-18, 2 doubles, 6 Ks) and C A.J. Ellis (5-for-10) have done well against him. So far the Padres bullpen has worked five innings and has allowed five runs (4 ER) on just four hits as they struck out seven batters. Making his debut on Tuesday was Craig Kimbrel (0.00 ERA, 0 saves) and he looked very comfortable with a perfect 1-2-3 inning in which he struck out the side in a non-save situation.

McCarthy hopes to build on a great 2014 season where his 4.05 ERA was masked with batters hitting an unsustainable .328 BABIP against him. He really showed up when he made a move to the Yankees in the second half, going 7-5 with a 2.89 ERA and struck out a ton; posting a career-best 7.9 K/9 on the year. The only problem that he faced was homers as he allowed the most (1.13 HR/9) since 2009 and that number should trend more towards his career mark of 1.03 HR/9 moving forward. McCarthy has been great in his time against the Padres with a 4-1 record (5-1 team record) and 2.43 ERA (0.96 WHIP). He did have one poor outing (6.2 IP, 5 ER, 4 Ks) against the Padres last year, but totaled 14 innings with a mere one run allowed on nine hits behind a 13:1 K/BB ratio in the other two.

No one on San Diego has done particularly well in their time against McCarthy with 1B Yonder Alonso (3-for-12, 1 doubles, 1 HR, 2 RBI) being the only player to leave the park as 2B Jedd Gyorko has been horrible, going hitless with five strikeouts in 14 at-bats. The Los Angeles’ bullpen has been on the mound for six innings through the first two contests and not done too well with six runs given up (3 ER) on 10 hits as they have a 6:1 K/BB ratio. Chris Hatcher (18.00 ERA, 1 save) was given the closer job until Jansen comes back and after getting a nice save in the season opener, was lit up for four runs (2 ER) on three hits before getting an out on Tuesday.

Road dogs perfect on the diamond Tuesday night

In just the second full day of the major league schedule road underdogs came to play, going a perfect 5-0 on Tuesday night.

Atlanta +125 at Miami, Colorado +110 at Milwaukee, Texas +143 at Oakland, the Los Angeles Angels +105 at Seattle and San Diego+138 at the Los Angeles Dodgers all came through for backers.

It is still early, but so far road dogs have been the best bet in baseball, cashing 64.7 percent of the time.

With a full slate of games Wednesday there will be another 11 road dogs in action to try and keep up the trend.

Wind, rain in the forecast at Kauffman Wednesday

According to weather forecasts, Kansas City's Kauffman Stadium could be in store for windy and rainy conditions when the Royals host the Chicago White Sox Wednesday.

Forecasts are calling for a 60 percent possibility of rain by game time with a 40-to-50 percent chance of rain throughout the evening. Furthermore, wind will blow out to left field at 14 miles per hour.

Pitchers wind at Wrigley Field Wednesday

There will be a 10 mile per hour pitchers wind gusting in from right field for Wednesday afternoon's meeting between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs.

The run total for the game is currently at 7.0 with right-hander Lance Lynn getting the call for the Cardinals (-110), while the Cubs counter with righty Jake Arrieta.

There is also a 25 percent of rain around gametime.

Chance of rain, thunderstorms at Comerica Park

There is a 58 percent chance of rain and a chance of thunderstorms for Wednesday's matinee between the Minnesota Twins and the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park.

There will also be a seven mile per hour wind blowing out to right field at game time.

The Tigers are currently -200 home favorites with right-hander Anibal Sanchez expected to take the mound, while the Twins counter with righty Rick Nolasco.

MLB's top under ump calling balls and strikes in Detroit Wednesday

Major League Baseball's top under umpire over the last couple of seasons, Kerwin Danley, will be calling balls and strikes for Wednesday's matinee between the Minnesota Twins and Detroit Tigers.

The under is a remarkable 39-10-3 in the last 52 games Danley has been behind home plate, including going 20-6 in 2014.

The total for today's game in Detroit is currently at 8.0 runs. Ricky Nolasco (15-10-2 O/U in 27 starts in 2014) takes the mound for the Twins, while Detroit sends Anibal Sanchez (11-8-2 O/U in 21 starts in 2014) to the hill.

Threat of rain at Yankee Stadium Wednesday

There is a possible threat of rain at Yankee Stadium as forecasts are calling for a 40 percent chance of showers during the game between the New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays Wednesday.

There is a small 10 percent chance of rain in the early stages of the game, but that will increase as the game plays out.

Wednesday's Tip Sheet

April 8, 2015

Celtics at Pistons – 7:05 PM EST

The best race down the stretch besides the Southwest Division involves the five teams looking to grab the final two playoff spots in the Eastern Conference. Boston begins Wednesday’s action hanging onto the eighth position in the East with five games remaining, while holding a half-game lead over Miami and one-game advantage over Indiana. The Celtics have won three of their past four contests, while coming off a huge 117-116 overtime victory on Saturday for their fourth consecutive road triumph.

The Pistons are basically in the role of a spoiler down the stretch with a disappointing 30-47 record as Stan Van Gundy’s squad continues a four-game homestand. Detroit rallied past Miami on Saturday, 99-98 to snap a two-game skid, while capturing its fifth consecutive win at the Palace of Auburn Hills, all as an underdog. The Pistons have quietly become one of the best ATS team to close the season, covering nine of the last 12 games, but was listed as a favorite only once in this span (in win at Orlando on March 27).

VegasInsider.com NBA expert Tony Mejia says the Pistons still have something to play for even if they don’t make the postseason, “Coming off a thrilling comeback win over Miami, they’re home for games against the Celtics, Pacers and Hornets this week, allowing them to play a huge role in the Eastern Conference postseason race. Greg Monroe returns for the third and final meeting against the Celtics, who Detroit has split with thus far. I wouldn’t advise getting caught up in the fallacy that Boston has all the motivation here. Stan Van Gundy undoubtedly has his guys believing that their season isn’t over just yet.”

Cavaliers at Bucks – 8:05 PM EST

Cleveland is sneaking closer to a Central Division title, owning a four-game advantage over Chicago with five games remaining. The Cavs go for their fourth straight victory after sweeping their recent three-game homestand, capped off by a huge 99-94 triumph over the Bulls, but Chicago cashed as eight-point underdogs. Cleveland’s defense has stepped up by limiting seven of its past eight opponents to 94 points or less, but the ‘under’ has cashed only four times in this stretch.

The Bucks are on the verge of returning to the playoffs for the first time since 2013, as Milwaukee can wrap up a berth with a victory plus losses by Boston and Indiana. Jason Kidd’s team squandered a 12-point lead in Saturday’s 97-90 home setback to Orlando as nine-point favorites, one night after pulling off an impressive road victory at Boston. The Bucks have dropped two of three meetings with the Cavaliers, including a 108-90 defeat at BMO Harris Center on March 22, as Cleveland outscored Milwaukee, 64-37 in the second half.

Pelicans at Grizzlies – 8:05 PM EST

New Orleans jumped Oklahoma City for the eighth playoff spot in the Western Conference after rallying past Golden State last night, 103-100. Couple that victory with the Thunder getting blown out at home by the Spurs and the Pelicans lead Oklahoma City by one half-game for eighth with five games remaining. In Tuesday’s triumph over the Warriors, New Orleans erased a 14-point deficit, led by Anthony Davis’ 29 points and 10 rebounds, as the Pelicans avoided the four-game sweep to Golden State. The Pelicans have won five of their past six, while grabbing two of three matchups with Memphis this season.

Memphis finishes up a four-game homestand before heading west for three contests on Friday at Utah. The Grizzlies won the first two games against the Kings and Thunder before falling to the Wizards last Saturday, 92-83 as 7 ½-point favorites, as Washington led from start to finish. In four of the last six contests, the Grizzlies have been limited to 89 points or less, while cashing the ‘under’ in five consecutive trips to the court. Memphis and New Orleans are used to playing low-scoring battles, hitting the ‘under’ in eight of the previous 10 matchups, including the last five at FedEx Forum.

Rockets at Spurs – 8:35 PM EST

San Antonio is the hottest team in the league right now, riding an eight-game winning streak following last night’s 113-88 blasting of the Thunder as six-point road favorites. The Spurs jumped out to a 19-point lead after one quarter and never looked back as Kawhi Leonard paced the defending champions with 26 points. Gregg Popovich’s club trails the Rockets by 1 ½ games for the Southwest Division lead heading into this crucial home-and-home set with Houston, as San Antonio could potentially leap from sixth to second in the West when the playoffs begin next weekend.

The Rockets extended their winning streak to three after holding off the Thunder on Sunday in a 115-112 victory. In spite of the offense blowing up for the third straight game, Mejia believes Houston won’t play run-and-gun the next two matchups against San Antonio, “That late three-point flurry on Sunday afternoon in Oklahoma City pushed Houston’s last game ‘over’ the total, but with Dwight Howard back as the last line of defense, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Rockets really tighten the screws. Nine of their last 16 games have gone ‘under’, so with back-to-back huge games scheduled with the Spurs, look for them to really make it a point to lock up in San Antonio.”

Kevin McHale’s team has stepped it up on the road of late, winning six of the last seven away from the Toyota Center, which includes victories over the Mavericks, Wizards, and Clippers. Houston has had San Antonio’s number recently, capturing six of the last seven matchups, including a 2-1 record in its previous three trips to San Antonio. The Rockets whipped the Spurs in their first meeting in Houston in November, 98-81, but San Antonio picked up revenge in late December, beating the Rockets, 110-106 as 1 ½-point favorites.

Paul Millsap, Atlanta - Out Wed

Millsap has a sprained right shoulder did not play Tuesday. He will miss Wednesday's game against the Nets.

Under bettors loving Grizzlies' current form

The Memphis Grizzlies have been on a hot run for Under bettors of late, going 0-5 Over/Under in their last five basketball games heading into Wednesday's matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Grizzlies are presently the sixth best Under bet in the league with a record of 32-43-2 season to date. The Grizz and Pelicans have played three times already this season and the O/U count is 2-1.

Oddsmakers have tabbed this matchup with the lowest total on Wednesday's board at 186.

Slumping offense has Suns cashing under tickets

The Phoenix Suns are still struggling to score and it has led to them cashing under tickets at a high rate, going 14-2 in their last 16 games.

Phoenix was humiliated by the Atlanta Hawks 96-69 Tuesday night. It was the eighth time in the last 14 games where the Suns scored 87 points or fewer and are averaging just 86 points per game over that span.

The Suns play their second game in as many days when they visit the Dallas Mavericks Wednesday night. The total is currently off the board.

The San Antonio Spurs continue to roll, crushing the Oklahoma City Thunder 113-88 as 6-point road favorites for their eighth win and cover in a row.

The Spurs not surprisingly are doing what they always do, playing their best basketball leading up to the playoffs and bettors have been the benefactor. In addition to being 8-0 ATS in their last seven games the Spurs are 17-4 ATS in their last 21 games overall.

San Antonio is right back at it Wednesday night as they try for nine in a row when they visit the Rockets in Houston. The Spurs are currently favored by 5.5-points.

Heat still struggling to cover down the stretch

The Miami Heat managed to pull out a 105-100 win over the Charlotte Hornets Tuesday night, but failed to cover the spread once again.

The Heat, who were 6.5-point favorites last night, have been a team to fade down the stretch, failing to cover in five straight and in eight of their last 10. Miami is near the bottom of the ATS standing at 33-41-4.

Miami will try to end the skid Thursday when they host the Chicago Bulls.
