Friday's List of 13: Random thoughts with the weekend here

13) Joe Girardi turned down Orioles' managing job, which isn't surprising, but why did he go for an interview? Its not like he doesn't know they're a dysfunctional organization with owner who meddles and screws things up.

12) That said, why do Orioles keep going for guys associated with the Bronx Bombers? Bronx is the enemy; they should go get an ex-Oriole to lead their team. or go back and find Davey Johnson, the last Oriole manager who won.

11) Milwaukee Brewers won seven of eight games since they got no-hit in Detroit by Justin Verlander.

10) If you break down Barry Bonds' home runs, you'll see he has hit 10 homers as a DH, four as a pinch-hitter, one as right fielder, 22 as centerfielder and 711 in left field.

9) Sammy Sosa's 600 home runs came against 364 pitchers.

8) Indians scored seven or more runs in half of CC Sabathia's sixteen starts; they're 11-2 if they give him three or more runs.

7) Detroit scored 80 runs, ten runs a game, in winning the last eight starts by Bonderman.

6) Miguel Tejada got hit by pitch and is said to have broken his wrist, which would end long consecutive game streak, if he has to go on the DL (1,152 games in a row). Tejada remains one of my favorites, after all he did for A's in his time there.

5) Rick Ankiel is hitting .279, with 19 homers, 52 RBI in AAA, as he tries to get back to big leagues as an outfielder. What a good story if the former pitcher makes it all the way back.

4) Cubs traded Michael Barrett to Padres this week, which is not good news for the Cubs' marketing department; Tuesday is Michael Barrett jersey day at Wrigley; July 1 was Michael Barrett bobblehead night. Whoops.

3) A's put a merciful end to the Milton Bradley era Thursday; he will be cut or traded within 10 days. The guy was disabled five times in two years. You need guys who play!!!!!

2) Mariners pitched shutouts the last two nights, ending odd streak where they went 17 days between wins by one of their starting pitchers. Felix Hernandez was tough last night.

1) Who knew that best college baseball program in country is at Oregon State? Doesn't it rain a lot in Corvallis? Really, you would think USC or LSU or Florida State or Texas. How did they get so good? And Rice, too; whats with that?

Weekend Sports Preview

Baseball finishes up interleague play for the season this weekend, while the AFL inches closer to the playoffs, the WNBA hits the hardwood and NASCAR leaves the oval behind for the first road race this season.

The final weekend of interleague play has only two real rivalries on the schedule with the Cubs at the White Sox, and Houston at Texas. National League teams that get to take advantage of the DH rule include Colorado at Toronto, the Dodgers at Tampa Bay, Cincinnati at Seattle and Pittsburgh at the Angels. The American League teams that will have to hope their pitchers can turn in some quality at-bats include Cleveland at Washington, Minnesota at Florida, Oakland at the Mets, Detroit at Atlanta, Kansas City at Milwaukee, Baltimore at Arizona, Boston at San Diego and the Yankees at San Francisco. The lone NL-only matchup on this weekend’s schedule has Philadelphia visiting St. Louis.

Week 17 of the AFL season kicks off this weekend with the playoffs on the horizon. There are five games on Saturday’s schedule including Columbus at New York (+1), Austin at Tampa Bay (-9), Kansas City at Chicago (-7), Grand Rapids at Nashville (-13) and Utah at Los Angeles (-1). There is only one game on Sunday, as New Orleans takes on Georgia (-15.5).

The WNBA starts off the weekend with a six-pack of games on Friday night. Connecticut at Indiana starts things off, followed by San Antonio at New York, Seattle at Minnesota, Washington at Houston, Detroit at Phoenix and Sacramento at Los Angeles.

The three games slated for Saturday include San Antonio at Connecticut, Washington at Chicago and Detroit at Sacramento. Three more games go on Sunday, as Indiana travels to New York, Houston faces Phoenix and Seattle takes on Los Angeles.

The Nextel Cup Series heads to Infineon Raceway this weekend, as the NASCAR drivers get their first taste of road course driving in the Toyota/Save Mart 350. Points leader Jeff Gordon has been the king of Infineon during his career and is a huge 3/1 favorite this weekend. Tony Stewart is also a contender at 5/1, while Robby Gordon is a surprise near the top of the odds at 7/1.

MLB
Southpaw versus Right Handed Pitchers


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Baseball Splits – Lefty vs. Righty

Starting pitching is one of the biggest factors when lines are set in baseball but one thing not often taken into consideration is what side of the mound the pitcher is throwing from. Some teams have greater success against left-handed pitching than right-handed pitching and vice versa and it is important to take that into consideration when capping games. We have gone through over 40 percent of the season and have some very solid numbers and statistics to look at.

The top five teams in hitting against left-handed pitching:

Detroit Tigers .314

New York Mets .309

Los Angeles Angels .294

Seattle Mariners .288

Boston Red Sox .286


Does this translate into wins? The records of those five teams against left-handed starters:

Detroit Tigers 14-6

New York Mets 11-10

Los Angeles Angels 10-7

Seattle Mariners 13-6

Boston Red Sox 11-10


As you can see, all five teams do in fact have winning records so a great average against southpaws can lead to some nice wins.
On the flip side, here are the five worst teams against left-handed pitching:

Chicago White Sox .218

Arizona Diamondbacks .229

San Francisco Giants .240

Chicago Cubs .245

Philadelphia Phillies .247


Those are some pretty ugly averages and pertaining to records against lefty starters, they are as follows:

Chicago White Sox 5-12

Arizona D-Backs 11-10

San Francisco Giants 10-10

Chicago Cubs 6-11

Philadelphia Phillies 10-17


Overall, it’s not good even though San Francisco and Arizona are sitting around the .500 mark. The same holds true for teams facing right-handed pitching although the records are not as extreme either way. The reason for that is there are more right-handed starters and the law of averages tends to even those out. There are exceptions however.

The best team in baseball against right-handed starters is the Red Sox at 34-15 with the Angels possessing a 35-20 mark as the second best team.

In the National League, both Colorado and Arizona have 30 wins against right-handed starters to lead the circuit. Baltimore and Texas are at the bottom of the pack with just 18 wins followed closely by the Reds with only 19 victories.

Teams fall into these grooves, whether good or bad, and tend to stay in that pattern throughout the year. Trades, injuries, call-ups and demotions can affect the success or failure but for the most part, the streakiness of baseball falls in line here also. Make sure you keep an eye on this the remainder of the season.

Baseball Today - June 22


SCOREBOARD

Friday, June 22

N.Y. Yankees at San Francisco (10:15 p.m. EDT). Kei Igawa makes his return for the Yankees, squaring off against Matt Cain.

STARS

Thursday

-Felix Hernandez, Mariners, allowed six hits in eight scoreless innings to lead Seattle to a 3-0 win over Pittsburgh.

-Russell Martin, Dodgers, hit a bases-loaded double in the eighth inning, sparking a six-run rally, in an 8-4 win over Toronto.

EKED OUT

Pinch-hitters Kenny Lofton and Frank Catalanotto singled off the gloves of diving Cubs outfielders in the bottom of the ninth inning, producing the winning run in the Texas Rangers' 6-5 victory over Chicago on Thursday. Catalanotto hit a one-out liner down the right-field line that Angel Pagan nearly caught, sending Lofton home with the winning run.

BLOWN CHANCE

Roger Clemens couldn't hold on for his 350th win and the Colorado Rockies completed a three-game sweep of the New York Yankees with a 4-3 victory Thursday. Matt Holliday's RBI single with one out in the fifth broke a 2-2 tie. Clemens (1-2) was trying to become the first major leaguer to win 350 games since Warren Spahn did it for Milwaukee on Sept. 29, 1963, when Yankees manager Joe Torre was the Braves' catcher and Clemens had just celebrated his first birthday.

BLANKED

The hapless Pirates were shut out for the eighth time this season, 3-0, by the Mariners on Thursday night, the most in the major leagues. They haven't scored since Jason Bay singled in a run in the seventh inning of Tuesday night's 5-3 victory over Seattle, a span of 20 innings.

STREAKS

Ichiro Suzuki had two more hits for the Mariners in a 3-0 win over the Pirates Thursday night to extend his hitting streak to 16 games, the longest current one in the majors. He has at least one hit in 41 of his last 43 games.

SPEAKING

''I don't want to see them again, how's that?'' - Yankees Manager Joe Torre after the Rockies denied Roger Clemens his 350th win and completed a three-game sweep of the Yankees with a 4-3 victory on Thursday.

SEASONS

June 22

1925 - The Pittsburgh Pirates beat the St. Louis Cardinals 24-6 with Kiki Cuyler and Pie Traynor each hitting a grand slam, and Max Carey getting two hits in the first and eighth innings.

1930 - Lou Gehrig hit three home runs to lead the New York Yankees to a 20-13 victory over the Philadelphia Athletics in the second game of a doubleheader. Babe Ruth, who hit three homers in the nightcap the previous day, hit two homers in the opener and one in the nightcap for the Yankees. Ruth tied major league records for five homers in two games and six homers in three games.

1944 - Jim Tobin of the Boston Braves threw a five-inning 7-0 no-hitter in the second game of a doubleheader against the Philadelphia Phillies.

1947 - Cincinnati's Ewell Blackwell almost duplicated Johnny Vander Meer's double no-hit record by following up his June 18 gem over Boston. Brooklyn's Eddie Stanky singled with one out in the ninth to end Blackwell's bid. Blackwell ended up with a 4-0 two-hitter.

1962 - Baltimore Orioles first baseman Boog Powell became the first batter to hit a home run over the center-field hedge at Memorial Stadium. The 469-foot clout came off Don Schwall of the Boston Red Sox.

1982 - Philadelphia's Pete Rose doubled off St. Louis pitcher John Stuper in the third inning to move into second place on the career hit list. Rose moved ahead of Hank Aaron with hit No. 3,772.

1993 - Carlton Fisk set the major league record for most games caught as the Chicago White Sox beat the Texas Rangers 3-2. Fisk, 45, passed Bob Boone with his 2,226th game.

1994 - Ken Griffey Jr. hit his 31st home run of the season in Seattle's 12-3 victory at California, breaking Babe Ruth's record for most homers before the end of June. Ruth needed 63 games to reach 30 homers in 1928 and 68 games in 1930. Griffey hit his 31st in the Mariners' 70th game.

1997 - The Atlanta Braves, behind a four-homer, nine-run third, beat the Philadelphia Phillies 12-5. Chipper Jones, Fred McGriff, Michael Tucker and Jeff Blauser homered in the inning.

2002 - The Detroit Tigers ended Luis Castillo's 35-game hitting streak. Castillo went 0-for-4 and was left on deck when the Florida Marlins finished off a four-run, ninth-inning rally to beat the Tigers 5-4.

2006 - Anthony Reyes pitched a one-hitter in just his fourth major league start, but St. Louis fell to the Chicago White Sox 1-0. Jim Thome homered in the seventh inning for Chicago's only hit.

Lady luck: Friday’s best WNBA bets


Detroit Shock at Phoenix Mercury (+4, 165)

When the Shock are firing on all pistons their opponents don’t have a chance. That was the case on Wednesday when the Seattle Storm were left dazed and confused by a 87-71 at home.

“When we shoot well, we’re pretty close to unbeatable,” Detroit coach Bill Laimbeer said after the game. “If you look at our defense, it’s No. 1 in the league in field-goal percentage against and that’s what we hang our hat on in order to get wins. That’s what we do for a living.”

If you’re a Detroit backer, betting your team on the road is the most profitable thing to do. The smaller lines have helped the Shock go 4-1 against the spread as visitors.

Pick: Shock



Connecticut Sun at Indiana Fever (-9, 150 1/2)

The Sun blew a 17-point lead en route to Wednesday’s 76-73 loss to the New York Liberty. The meltdown is just another reason why Connecticut is the league's most disappointing team so far. Just one year removed from the WNBA’s best record (26-8), Connecticut is 4-7 and has failed to cover in four of the last five.

The Fever can beat you in so many ways. They have one of the best players in the league (Tamika Catchings), they’ve always been committed to playing defense, and now they have one of the top offenses.

Indiana owns the league’s second-highest field goal percentage (.453) and it averages the second most points per game (79.6). If the Shock weren’t in the same conference, Indiana might be a lock as the East representative in the finals.

Pick: Fever

Streaking Pitchers


Friday, June 22


Hot

Aaron Harang (Cincinnati Reds) - Everyone is focusing on Ken Griffey Jr.'s return to Seattle tonight, but what bettors need to know is that Harang is taking the ball for the Reds at Safeco Field. With a 7-2 record on the season, the right-hander has been the bright light on an otherwise mediocre Cincy pitching staff. Harang has a 2.41 ERA over his last three starts, while giving up one home run and striking out 22 in just under 19 innings of work. Oddsmakers have the Reds as +101 underdogs for tonight's game.

Carlos Zambrano (Chicago Cubs) - It looks like it took a few shots in the chops from former-Cub Michael Barrett to get Zambrano back on the straight and narrow after a lackluster start to the season. Big Z is 2-1 since June 2 with a sparkling 1.14 ERA for the Cubs, -109 road favorites today against the Chicago White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field. Zambrano's 5-1 record away from the friendly confines of Wrigley Field this season.

Cold

Kevin Millwood (Texas Rangers) - Millwood's recent numbers make you wonder if the righty has fully recovered from his hamstring problems earlier in the season. The former Brave has only one win in his last eight trips to the hill for the Rangers, -119 favorites tonight against the Houston Astros. Millwood's 10.29 ERA over his last three outings doesn't help matters for Rangers bettors either, nor does his awful .417 OBP against and 2.00 WHIP over the same span.

Tom Glavine (New York Mets) - After a great start to the season Glavine is 0-4 since May 19 with a stiff 10.57 ERA over his last three starts for the Mets, -141 favorites tonight at Shea Stadium against the Oakland Athletics. It appears as though Glavine is simply surrendering too many hits - he's given up 27 over his last 15 innings pitched.
