Lewis looks to exorcise demons at Camden Yards

Colby Lewis has never fared well against the Baltimore Orioles (1-4, 6.35 ERA lifetime), but he has especially struggled at Camden Yards. Lewis is 0-3 with a 5.74 ERA at Camden yards in four career starts.

The Texas Rangers have also lost each of those games that Lewis has started.

The Rangers are currently +131 when the visit the Orioles Tuesday.


Who says Petco Park is a pitcher-friendly park?

Whoever said Petco Park is favorable to pitchers should not talk to San Diego Padres starter Ian Kennedy. The righty heads into Tuesday's action with a personal 2-3 record and 6.82 ERA in seven starts this season.

For the sake of comparison, the 30-year-old is 2-3 with a 3.38 ERA in six road starts on the season.

Kennedy's home ERA ranks as the fourth-worst in the National League for hurlers with at least three starts in their home ball park. Only Erick Stults (7.33), Mat Latos (7.60) and Kyle Lohse (8.16) have a worse ERA in front of their home fans.

Kennedy will give it another shot for the Friars versus the Seattle Mariners Tuesday evening. Oddsmakers have the Padres as -120 home faves for the matchup.


This team cashes unders as an underdog

Under bettors rejoice when the Tampa Bay Rays are listed as underdogs, with the under going an amazing 22-5 in their last 27 games in that scenario.

That is the exact position the Rays will be in Tuesday night when they host Danny Salazar (4.06 ERA, 7-6 O/U) and the Cleveland Indians. The Rays and Erasmo Ramirez (4.23 ERA, 3-6 O/U) are currently +105 dogs.

The total for the game is sitting at 7.0.

Shock bettors hope to return to win column Tuesday

The Tulsa Shock suffered their first loss against the spread as they failed to cover as bi 12-point faves in a 93-89 victory over the Seattle Storm Sunday. The Shock had jumped out to a perfect 8-0 ATS record early in the WNBA campaign, making them the hottest bet in the league.

The Shock will get back on the court as 5.5-point road faves at the Storm Tuesday. Tulsa is 3-1 SU and 4-0 ATS in four road games ths season.

Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

More odds an various college football games this season.......

-- Sept 5: Alabama (-9) over Wisconsin in Arlington, TX

-- Sept 5: Auburn (-11.5) over Louisville in Atlanta

-- Sept 12: Oregon at Michigan State (-1)

-- Sept 25: Boise State (-9) @ Virginia

-- October 3: Notre Dame @ Clemson (-2.5)

-- October 10: Oklahoma (-7.5) vs Texas in Dallas

**********

Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but.......

13) Bo Ryan is stepping down as basketball coach at Wisconsin after this coming season, a move obviously timed to improve the odds of his long-time assistant Greg Gard inheriting the job. The 67-year old Ryan says his retirement isn't health-related.

12) All of which leaves Wisconsin AD Barry Alvarez (a football guy) with a very hard job; replace a guy who was Wisconsin basketball for the last 14 years. Ryan won four Big Ten (or Big 12 or Big 14) titles at Wisconsin, which had not won any in the 55 years before Ryan got to Madison. He will be almost impossible to replace.

11) Here is a list of six guys Buckys5thquarter.com drew up who are possible replacements for Ryan; well, their list is five and Greg Gard is #6, because Ryan wants him to get the job. I do not think he has a chance in hell of landing it. Big 14 basketball is not an entry level head coaching position, it just isn't.

-- Tony Bennett, Virginia-- His dad was Wisconsin's coach before Ryan. He is 60-11 at Virginia the last two years.
-- Shaka Smart, Texas-- Was born in Madison, but this ain't happening.
-- Saul Phillips, Ohio U-- Followed Tim Miles at North Dakota State and won big there, but would be a hard sell after going 10-20 in his first year at Ohio.
-- Linc Darner, Wisc-Green Bay-- Just got hired at Green Bay; he went 90-12 in his last three years at D-II Florida Southern.
-- Pat Miller, Wisc-Whitewater-- Is 315-87 at the lower levels of college hoop, where Ryan won four national titles himself.
-- Greg Gard, Wisconsin assistant coach.

Two greedy bastard updates for today.........
10) Out in Oakland, they're selling a commemorative basketball celebrating Golden State's NBA championship; they're only charging $89.95 for it. Oy.

9) At the Mobil station closest to my house, gas went up from $2.89 a gallon to $3.09 in one day couple of weeks ago, then Saturday, it suddenly went back down to $2.91 a gallon, for two glorious days. Monday? With 4th of July weekend coming up, gas went back up to $3.09 a gallon. How do they get away with this?

8) Back in Oakland for a minute, they announced a crowd of 12,125 for the Rockies' game with A's last night-- no way were there 10,000 people there. Not close. Too bad, Kendall Graveman pitched really well and the A's won 7-1.

7) Nice moment before the game; Julianna Zobrist sang the national anthem; she is Ben Zobrist's wife, and a professional singer. I think her knees are healthy too, which is more than her husband can say. He is playing hurt this season.

6) Phillies finally did something, hiring Andy MacPhail to take over from 77-year old Pat Gillick as team president, but not until after this season. MacPhail is going to observe the rest of the season, then hopefully hire a very large moving van to get rid of all the washed up/substandard players the Phillies have. They should've cleaned house 3-4 years ago, but never did; now it'll be an immense rebuilding project.

5) Something is wrong with the Dodgers; they lost in Arizona last night, blowing a 4-0 lead- they've scored a total of 11 runs in Zach Greinke's last eight starts that were not in Denver. LA is 43-35, a half-game ahead of the Giants in the NL West. For a club with the biggest payroll ever, you expected a little more.

4) St Louis is 13-3 in its last sixteen games, they're very good, very solid, but it is just weird that they haven't scored a first inning run in their last 22 games.

3) San Francisco Giants are 8-4 in first game of a road series, but only 5-8 in first game of a home series- they lost their last five home series openers.

2) Random college football stat: USC is 4-13 against spread in its last 17 road games.

1) Lebron James is probably going to re-sign with Cleveland, but could you imagine if he ever signed with the Knicks; the entire Interweb would implode. Twitter would definitely crash for a while, SportsCenter would do six-hour specials on it, Spike Lee would do a movie before training camp started- thank the Lord it ain't gonna happen.

See spot. See spot bet: This week's best spot bet opportunities

Letdown spot

Before you set off the Fourth of July fireworks this weekend, America’s neighbors to the north celebrate their country on Wednesday, July 1, better known as "Canada Day". And few things are more Canadian than enjoying the holiday with a cold 5 percent beer and flicking on the Blue Jays game – or catching Canada's team live in action at the Rogers Centre. The Canada Day game is always a big deal for the club, with a packed house and tons of festivities at the ballpark (when playing at home) as well as knowing a good chunk of the country is tuning in.

So that leaves Toronto open for a big letdown the following day – July 2. The Blue Jays have struggled with the letdown spot following the holiday for the past 15 years. Going back to 2000, Toronto is just 4-10 on July 2 (didn’t play on that date in 2009) and has allowed an average of almost 5.8 runs in those contests, leading to an 8-5-1 Over/Under mark in those games. The Jays host the rival Red Sox, who always draw a big crowd in T.O., for four games starting Monday, including the July 1 and July 2 contests.

Schedule spot

The Atlanta Falcons have high hopes for new head coach Dan Quinn, the architect of the Seattle Seahawks’ dominating defense the last two seasons. Quinn, who signed a five-year deal with Atlanta this February, has inside info on the Falcons’ Week 9 opponents: the San Francisco 49ers. During his tenure in the NFC West, Quinn would have missed plenty of sleep game planning for San Francisco and won’t have any trouble kicking this old foe while their suffering through what is expected to be a down year in the Bay Area.

That Week 9 matchup at Levi’s Stadium is especially tough for the Niners, playing at St. Louis in Week 8 and looking ahead to a bye in Week 10 and road matchup with Quinn’s old club, Seattle, in Week 11. Oddsmakers opened with San Francisco as a 6-point home favorite in this matchup but there's solid value with a well-informed road side – even more so if this game is hovering around a touchdown.

Lookahead spot

The New York Mets are currently enjoying the tail end of a six-game home stand, hosting the Chicago Cubs at Citi Field for three games. New York has been night-and-day when it comes to venue, boasting a 29-11 home record and an 11-26 road mark. The Mets are up just 0.67 units on the season, thanks in large part to their -15.14-unit deficit away from Flushing.

New York faces a big road trip Thursday, crossing the country to play the Los Angeles Dodgers for three games before making their way to face the defending World Series winners, the San Francisco Giants, for three contests. The Mets could get caught looking ahead to the long haul to the left side of the country in Thursday’s finale with the Cubs. Last season, New York made a similar Western run – taking on Oakland and L.A. – and dropped the finale of a four-game home set against Chicago on 4-1 on August 8 before leaving town.

Tuesday's Late Tips

June 30, 2015

Yankees at Angels – 10:05 PM EST

Los Angeles avenged a three-game sweep in the Bronx earlier this month by knocking off the Yankees on Monday night, 4-1. The Angels are starting to pick things up from a pitching standpoint of late, allowing nine runs in the past five games, while cashing the ‘under’ in eight of the previous nine contests overall. New York’s offense has stumbled the last two games, scoring one run each in losses to the Astros and Angels, while falling to 2-3 on their seven-game road trip.

Ivan Nova (1-0, 0.00 ERA) is making his second start of the season for the Yankees, coming off a scoreless effort in a 10-2 home victory over the Phillies. The right-hander scattered three hits in 6.2 innings of work, even though he recorded only one strikeout in the win. Nova is facing the Angels for the first time since August 2013, as he allowed 10 hits and three earned runs in 7.1 innings of an 11-3 blowout of Los Angeles.

The Angels counter with southpaw Andrew Heaney (0-0, 1.50 ERA), who is also starting for the second time this season. Heaney delivered a gem in his Los Angeles debut, giving up four hits and one earned run in six innings of work in a 2-1 extra innings victory over Houston. The left-hander has yet to record a win in his short career (six starts), facing a Yankees’ squad that owns a 3-7 record in their last past 10 road contests.

Rockies at Athletics – 10:05 PM EST

Oakland snapped a three-game skid by blasting Colorado last night, 7-1 as -170 home favorites, jumping out to a 4-0 lead after one inning. In spite of losing all three times to the Royals this past weekend, the A’s have won 10 of their past 15 games, while scoring at least six runs nine times in this stretch. The Rockies have been the worst team in the league during interleague play this season, putting together an 0-6 mark against American League opponents, while dropping 13 straight road interleague games since May 2014.

Oakland ace Sonny Gray (9-3, 2.09 ERA) was expected to take the mound, but got scratched early in the afternoon. Taking Gray's place tonight is right-hander Chris Bassitt (0-0, 3.38 ERA), who is making his first start of the season. Bassitt spent last season with the White Sox, as Chicago compiled a 3-2 record in his five starts, all coming past late August. The former University of Akron standout has appeared in five games out of the Oakland bullpen this season, facing a Colorado squad that is 2-6 in its last eight road games against right-handed starters.

The A’s are facing a left-handed starter at home for the first time since May 29, taking on Jorge De La Rosa (4-3, 5.15 ERA). The Rockies have fared well with the southpaw on the mound recently, compiling a 6-1 record in his last seven outings since May 16, including a victory as a +200 underdog at Los Angeles. De La Rosa has allowed two earned runs or less three of his past four outings, while coming off a no-decision in his last start against Arizona, a 6-4 home victory.

Mariners at Padres – 10:10 PM EST

These two West Coast teams begin a brief two-game set at Petco Park after the two squads split a two-game series last month in Seattle. The Mariners remain in Southern California after losing two of three contests to the Angels this past weekend, while scoring just seven runs. The Padres failed to pull off a three-game sweep of the Diamondbacks by losing on Sunday, 6-4, as San Diego owns a 4-1 record in its last five tries off a defeat.

San Diego looks to break through in interleague play at home, failing to win in five tries this season against American League foes. Ian Kennedy (4-6, 5.09 ERA) was shelled early the last time he faced the M’s at Safeco Field back on May 12, allowing four runs in the first inning of an 11-4 rout. The San Diego right-hander has pitched better at home of late, beating the Mets and Dodgers, while allowing just three earned runs in 13 innings of work.

Mike Montgomery (2-2, 2.04 ERA) is coming off the best start of his short career, tossing a complete game shutout and striking out 10 in a 7-0 blanking of the Royals last Tuesday. The Seattle southpaw is making his second road start, silencing the Houston lineup in an 8-1 triumph as a +120 underdog earlier this month. Montgomery is facing a San Diego team that owns a 1-4 record in its past five home series openers, but the Mariners have dropped four of five road contests against National League opponents.
