MLB betting cheat sheet: ‘A’ For Effort

The hottest team in baseball right now is … the Oakland A’s?

Power Sports breaks down all the best betting notes for this weekend's MLB series in our betting cheat sheet, including the Oakland A's hot streak.

‘A’ For Effort

The hottest team in baseball right now is … the Oakland A’s? Though they are winners of five in a row, we should be careful about reading too much into this as all they did was sweep Minnesota in the last series and their run differential remains a poor -42 for the season (second worst in the American League, ahead of only the Twins). This weekend might present an ideal time to “sell high” on Billy Beane’s club as they pay a visit to Houston. Sure, the Astros have been a huge disappointment thus far, but they themselves were on a five-game win streak prior to Thursday’s loss. The A’s have lost 13 of their last 18 road games and I’ll be talking a lot more about them in this column.

Just As We Expected

Coming into the season, there were a consensus seven teams expected to be playoff contenders in the National League. Through 50+ games, those same teams (Nats, Mets, Cubs, Pirates, Cardinals, Giants and Dodgers) are the seven that have produced positive run differentials so far in the Senior Circuit. The only matchup this weekend among that grouping takes place in St. Louis where the Giants come calling. They’ll conclude the three game set on Sunday Night Baseball. That finale probably represents the Cards best chance at a win in this series as they’ll face Jake Peavy, who has the highest ERA and WHIP on the Giants staff. The fact that both teams will be sending a trio of righties to the hill in this series does seem to favor the home team, however. While St. Louis bats just .245 vs. lefties, they are at .273 vs. righties. For San Francisco, it’s just the opposite. They hit .276 vs. lefties, but only .248 vs. righties.

Rocky Road

You have to feel for San Diego, who blew a 10-run lead (at home!) to Seattle Thursday night. Scoring 27 runs in two days and coming away with only a split is tough. But you should probably look for the strong offensive output to continue this weekend. That’s because the Padres welcome in the division rival Rockies, whose pitching staff, as always, is very, very bad. While the ERA of the Colorado staff does jump from 29th overall to 12th on the road, the team has lost 14 of its last 18 games at Petco Park and also just dropped three of four – at home – to the lowly Reds.

Hitting Notes

* The A’s Khris Davis hit 11 home runs in May, tied for the most in all of baseball with the Reds’ Adam Duvall. However, he’s already started to slow down (just 1 HR in last 21 at-bats) and he strikes out at an alarming rate (53 times in 51 games). In other words, look for Davis to regress here in June.

* Yet another Oakland slugger, Danny Valencia, has been swinging the stick quite well of late. Over the last seven days, Valencia is 12 for 22 at the plate. But, yet again, regression is probably forthcoming. After not hitting a single home run in his first 61 at-bats this year, Valencia proceeded to hit five in a three-day span earlier this month. The two multi-homer games equaled the number of times he’d done that in the first 543 games of his career.

Pitching Notes

* Oakland also has a pitcher worth talking about as Rich Hill went 5-1 in May with 2.13 ERA and 37 strikeouts in 38 innings pitched. He is expected to start Saturday against the one team that beat him last month, that being Houston. Interestingly, Hill has a perfect 6-0 team start record on the road where he’s made 6.6 units.

* Don’t be fooled by Noah Syndergaard’s 6-4 team start record. The Mets’ phenom has pitched very well of late, not giving up a single earned run in his last three starts, though the last one was cut short due to him being ejected. He threw an inning of scoreless relief on Tuesday (two strikeouts) and now has a 26-0 KW ratio his last 17 1/3 innings of work. He will be on the hill Friday vs. Miami.

Totals Trend

Last year, the Blue Jays lapped the field in terms of runs scored, but this year it is another American League East team doing the same (Red Sox). Even though Boston is by far and away baseball’s highest scoring team, be careful about betting Overs this weekend. Toronto’s last visit to Fenway Park produced four Unders and they are the surprising best team to bet on for Under bettors at 19-33-3 in all games this season.

Friday's Weather Report

* In Baltimore, there is a 42 percent chance of rain and even a chance of thunderstorms for tonight's game between the Orioles and Yankees. The total for the game is currently 8.0.

* In Arlington, there is a 60 percent chance of rain with a chance of thunderstorms in the forecast with the Rangers expected to host the Mariners. The total is currently 8.5.

* It could be a messy in in Minnesota, where the Twins are scheduled to face off against the Rays. There is a 67 percent chance of rain and thunderstorms expected in the forecast. There will also be a 10-12 mile per hour hitters wind gusting out to let field. The total is currently 9.0.

* In St. Louis, there is a 20 percent chance of rain and a chance of thunderstorms, with the Cardinals expected to face off against the Giants. The total is currently 7.5.

LEADING OFF: Strasburg, Sale go for 10th wins, Odor returns
June 4, 2016

A look at what's happening all around the majors today:

TEN MEN

Washington ace Stephen Strasburg and White Sox star Chris Sale see who can become the first pitcher in the big leagues to reach 10 wins this year. Strasburg is 9-0 going into his start at Cincinnati, Sale takes a 9-1 mark into Detroit.

ROUGHNED RETURN

Texas second baseman Rougned Odor is eligible to play against Seattle after finishing his seven-game suspension for punching Blue Jays star Jose Bautista. Jurickson Profar came up from Triple-A when Odor was penalized and hit safely in all seven games for the Rangers, batting .364 with four extra-base hits and scoring nine runs.

DOMINANT DODGER

Clayton Kershaw leads the majors with a 1.56 ERA, just a bit ahead of Jake Arrieta, and also tops baseball with 105 strikeouts going into his start against Atlanta at Dodger Stadium. The three-time Cy Young Award winner is 7-1 this year for Los Angeles.

WARMED UP

Cubs closer Hector Rondon is ready to pitch after missing a couple of days because of a sore lower back. Chicago has won nine of 10 going into its game vs. Arizona at Wrigley Field and leads the majors with a 38-15 record.

CHECK HIM

The Yankees will see how first baseman Mark Teixeira is feeling, a day after he made an early exit in Baltimore because of a problem in his right knee. Beset by injuries in recent years, he recently missed time because of neck spasms. He is hitting .180 and hasn't homered since mid-April.

GETTING THERE

Arizona righty Shelby Miller is set to throw in a game at extended spring training. He's been sidelined with a sprained index finger on his pitching hand. Miller is 1-6 with a 7.10 ERA in 10 starts in his first season with the Diamondbacks.

Sunday's List of 13:

Sunday's six-pack

Pointspreads on some college football games this Labor Day weekend........
-- Clemson (-8.5) at Auburn
-- Oklahoma (-9.5) @ Houston
-- Notre Dame @ Texas (even)
-- Kansas State @ Stanford (-16.5)
-- Appalachian State @ Tennessee (-19)
......and one from later in the season (Nov 26)
-- Utah State @ BYU (-6)-- This game opened at BYU -1

Sunday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports Saturday.......

13) James Shields got traded to the White Sox for Erik Johnson and a 17-year old who has never played a pro game; San Diego is also on the hook for $29M of $56M left on Shields' contract, assuming he doesn't opt out after this season.

12) In essence, White Sox get Shields for $9M a year thru 2018, a pretty good deal.

11) Milwaukee SS Jonathan Villar has homered in his last three games, after hitting two homers in his first 51 games. Philly is definitely a hitters' park.

10) If you care about such things, over is 57-32-3 in interleague games this year.

9) In Oakland's last 32 games, take out Rich Hill's starts and A's starting pitchers have a 7.90 ERA-- the Donaldson trade has turned into a complete disaster- the two starting pitchers Oakland got were Kendall Graveman and Sean Nolin- no bueno.

8) White Sox brought up OF Jason Coats who left his first big league game with a lacerated mouth after a collision with JB Shuck. Tough way to begin a career.

7) NBA teams who won Game 1 of Finals by 15+ points are 11-2 in those series.

6) San Francisco 49ers aren't favored in any of their games this coming season.

5) Looking thru social media for the last 36 hours, one thing is for sure; Muhammad Ali posed for a hell of a lot of pictures with fans-- lot of people who are famous themselves were showing off their picture(s) with the Champ Saturday.

4) Speaking of Ali, back in 60's, when he was training in Miami, one of his sparring partners was Rich Kotite, then a football player at Miami and later head coach of the Jets and Eagles.

3) I've read almost all the John Grisham books and seen all the movies that were made out of his mostly legal-themed books; in my opinion, the two best movies were Runaway Jury and The Client. I think Runaway Jury is a great movie, with Dustin Hoffman, Gene Hackman and John Cusack.

2) I hope actress Jennifer Garner buys her agent a Cadillac for Christmas; she is an awful lot of commercials.

1) College baseball tournament has a weird dynamic to it; the pro draft begins this coming Thursday, right in the middle of the tournament. Nothing like some of your best players being totally distracted during the team's most important time of year.
