Bettors' best friend: Wednesday's wagering tips

Lines to keep an eye on

Blue Jays at Athletics: The total opened at 7.5 and now sits at 8.

Weather to watch

Nationals at Braves: 50 percent chance of rain.

Mariners at Orioles: 40 percent chance of rain.

Giants at Phillies: 40 percent chance of rain.

Brewers at Cardinals: 20 percent chance of rain with 10 mph wind blowing across the diamond.

Who’s hot

The Rays are 19-7 in their past 26 home games.

The over is 10-2-1 in the Cardinals’ past 13 games.

The under is 11-4-1 in the Orioles’ past 16 games.

Who’s not

The Pirates are just 17-46 in their past 63 games.

The Nationals are 15-36 in their past 51 games.

The Mets are 5-13 in their past 18 road games.

Key stat

20: Last at-bat wins for the Braves this season. The team also is 20 games over .500 for the first time since 2005. Might want to stay away from 5-inning wagers on Atlanta, as the team has a penchant for the dramatics.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

We mentioned earlier the Cardinals are a hot play when it comes to the over. However, be wary as outfielder Colby Rasmus likely will be sidelined until the weekend with a strained calf injury. Rasmus is hitting .270 with 19 home runs and 54 RBI.

Game of the Day

Chicago White Sox at Minnesota Twins (-141, 7)

Notable quotes

“Clevelanders, because they were the bigger-city kids when we were growing up, looked down on us.… So we didn’t actually like Cleveland. We hated Cleveland growing up. There’s a lot of people in Cleveland we still hate to this day.” – LeBron James on growing up in Akron.

Tips and notes

The disabled list is just a carousel for the Red Sox this year. The team welcomed back Dustin Pedroia on Tuesday afternoon, but received news that outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury has fractured ribs. There is no timetable for his return as he already is on the 15-day DL and has missed a huge chunk of time with the injury. The Red Sox are hitting .270 as a team and have scored 610 runs, but the offense eventually will fall off without their stars. The over has hit in five of the team’s past six games and now must make an adjustment to a player being reinserted into the batting order.

If you are thinking about putting some quan on the Yankees, be sure to check their starting lineup. The team is just 5-5 in its past 10 games and is struggling to find continuity due to a revolving door with its batting order. I mean, Lance Berkman hitting second? Really? And now Alex Rodriguez (calf) and Nick Swisher (forearm tightness) are day-to-day with muscle injures. Pay close attention before making any moves involving the pinstripes. Want proof of a power outage? The under is 7-2-1 in the team’s past 10.

Some returns are just better than others. While Boston and New York are having their own version of M.A.S.H., the Phillies welcomed back second baseman Chase Utley with open arms on Tuesday night. The slugger went 0-for-5 in his return, but his presence allowed third baseman Placido Polanco, hitting in the three-hole behind him, to see better pitches and go 4-for-5 in a 9-3 stomping of the Giants. Utley saw more than four pitches per at-bat and simply by working the count, provided a huge impact. Look for Phillies games to keep going over the total as this team stays hot.

Hot Lines: Today's best MLB bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Los Angeles Angels at Boston Red Sox (-165, 10)

The Red Sox's disabled list is starting to look a lot like a phone book, but their latest callup should inject some strong medicine into the walking wounded and the AL East playoff race.

Second baseman Dustin Pedroia returned Tuesday night after spending eight weeks on the DL and brought some hope back to Fenway Park and the Red Sox's dugout.

When he went down with a foot injury on June 25, the Red Sox were three games back of the Yankees and tied with the Rays for the wild-card. Now, well, they have their work cut out for them.

"Everyone in that clubhouse feels we can win," Pedroia said. "We don't need to prove anything to anybody. We've had guys fight through it all year. Frankly, we don't give a s**t about what anybody thinks. We're trying to win games. That's the attitude we have. Jump on the wagon now. It's going to be a fun ride."

Boston has lost in John Lackey's last three starts, but the righthander is 8-2 at home this season and has had some success against the Angels. His last win came over the Halos on July 27, when he allowed only two earned runs over 7 1/3 innings.

The Angels counter with lefty Scott Kazmir, who is just 1-5 in his last six outings. The Red Sox roughed him up for seven earned runs in only 4 1/3 innings in their last meeting on May 6, when Pedroia went 2-for-4 with three runs scored.

Pick: Red Sox

Seattle Mariners at Baltimore Orioles (-145, 8.5)

The Buck Showalter bump appears to have more legs than anyone imagined.

After winning nine of their first 11 games under Uncle Buck - the clubs' hottest stretch in more than five seasons - the Orioles are making the transition from losers to spoilers in the AL East.

"It's not a coincidence that we've turned it around since Buck showed up," said Orioles starting pitcher Jeremy Guthrie. "We know what he expects and we've played good baseball with him here. No magic formula, but maybe just a good shift in gears for us."

No one has benefited from Showalter's arrival than Guthrie, who has won three consecutive starts and allowed only 13 hits and four earned runs in 21 innings of work during that span. Those victories came against the hard-hitting Rays, White Sox and Angels.

So the right-hander won't be intimidated by the Mariners, who are batting just .233 against righties this season. The M's are 17-44 on the road this year, and the Daren Brown bump doesn't have the same ring to it.

Pick: Orioles

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Streaking and Slumping Pitchers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Streaking

Adam Wainwright, St. Louis Cardinals (17-6, 1.99 ERA)

Wainwright has been virtually unhittable over his last three starts, going 3-0 with an ERA of 0.39 and striking out 16 batters during that span. The big righty carries a streak of 21 scoreless innings into today's game. As impressive as he was in his last two shutout performances, both of which came on the road, he has been even more dominant at home this season.

Tim Hudson, Atlanta Braves (14-5, 2.13 ERA)

Hudson has won five consecutive starts, including shutout victories over the three contending teams in the NL West. The righthander took 1-0 decisions over the Dodgers and Giants in his last two outings, both lasting eight innings, and also goose-egged the Padres on July 22. His ERA over those five starts is an unfathomable 0.21.

Slumping

Josh Johnson, Florida Marlins (10-5, 2.27 ERA)

Hard to believe that Johnson's last win came a month ago today. His last three starts have been particularly tough, going 0-2 with 22 hits and 12 earned runs in only 17 1/3 innings of work. The right-handed fireballer swears he feels fine but he's showing all the signs of the dreaded "dead arm" after throwing 158 2/3 innings this season.

James Shields, Tampa Bay Rays (10-11, 4.98 ERA)

Shields got knocked around for 10 hits and four earned runs in five innings against the Orioles in his last outing. That came on the heels of a nine-hit, eight run performance in only four innings against the Blue Jays. That's an 0-2 mark with a whopping 12.00 ERA against the AL East cellar-dwllers - a bad sign against the hot-swinging Rangers.

Returning

Richard Holland, Texas Rangers (2-1, 4.19 ERA)

Holland gets the call up to the Rangers' rotation after Rich Harden was placed on the disabled list. The lefty has been burning it up at Triple-A Oklahoma City, going 6-2 with a 1.91 ERA, but the Rays are far from minor-leaguers.

This Day in Baseball
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On August 18 in Baseball History...

1886 - St. Louis Maroons owner Henry Lucas quits baseball, announcing that the club has cost him $27,000 in three years.

1892 - In the course of a 13-4 win over Baltimore, Browns left fielder Cliff Carroll attempts to field a ground ball. He misjudges it, and the ball becomes lodged in his shirt pocket. Before he can extricate it, the Oriole batter makes it to third base. St. Louis owner Chris Von der Ahe is so incensed that he fines Carroll $50 and suspends him without pay for the rest of the season. The league rejects Carroll's appeal.

1906 - Willie Keeler is struck out for only the second time this season, both times by spitballer Ed [04-17] Walsh of the White Sox.

1909 - Giants player-coach Arlie Latham steals second base in New York's 14-1 win over the Phillies. At 49, he's the oldest major leaguer ever to steal a base.

1915 - The new Braves Field opens in Boston. An estimated 46,500 jam the park to see the Braves beat the Cards 3-1.

1931 - Lou Gehrig is hitless in Detroit, as he plays his 1,000th consecutive game. He is 307 short of Everett Scott's record streak.

1943 - Carl Hubbell wins his 253rd and final game, all with the Giants, as he beats the Pirates, 3-2. He will retire at the end of the year and take over the farm system for the Giants, which is down to two teams due to the war.

1956 - The Cincinnati Reds hit eight home runs and the Milwaukee Braves added two to set a National League record for two clubs in a nine-inning night game. Bob Thurman's three homers and double led the Reds in the 13-4 rout.

1959 - Branch Rickey resigns as chairman of the Pirates to become president of the Continental League, which never plays a game.

1960 - Facing just 27 batters, Lew Burdette pitches a 1-0 no-hitter against the Phillies. Tony Gonzalez, the only Phil to reach base, is hit by a Burdette pitch in the fifth inning but a double play erases him. The Milwaukee pitcher also scores the only run of the game.

1965 - Hank Aaron of Milwaukee hit Curt Simmons' pitch on top of the pavilion roof at Sportman's Park in St. Louis for an apparent home run. However, umpire Chris Pelekoudas called him out for being out of the batter's box when he connected. Nevertheless, the Braves won the game 6-2.

1965 - In a 3-2 win over the Red Sox, Orioles third baseman Brooks Robinson hits into his third triple play against Boston, tying the record of George Sisler.

1967 - A baseball tragedy occurs when Tony Conigliaro of the Red Sox is beaned by the Angels' Jack Hamilton. Hit on the left cheekbone, just below the eye socket, Conigliaro will miss the rest of 1967 and all of 1968. He was hitting .267 with 20 home runs and 67 RBI in 95 games.

1977 - Dodgers pitcher Don Sutton throws his fifth one-hitter, tying the National League record, as he blanks the Giants 7-0. The lone hit is Marc Hill's two-out single in the eighth.

1982 - Pete Rose of the Philadelphia Phillies made his 13,941st plate appearance in a 5-3 victory over the Houston Astros to move into first place on the career list ahead of Hank Aaron.

1982 - The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Chicago Cubs 2-1 in a 21-inning game. It was the second longest game in Cubs' history and took two days to complete.

1983 - In the continuation of the Pine Tar Game, Hal McRae strikes out and Dan Quisenberry retires the Yankees in order in the bottom of the ninth to preserve Kansas City's 5-4 victory. The conclusion takes just 12 minutes (and 16 pitches) and, as the only game scheduled at the Stadium, is witnessed by a crowd of 1,245.

1989 - Orioles shortstop Cal Ripken, Jr. plays in his 1,208th consecutive game to move past Steve Garvey into third place on the all-time list.

1995 - Cardinals reliever Tom Henke earns his 300th career save in a 4-3 win over the Braves.

1998 - The Braves collect nine hits, all doubles, as Greg Maddux earns his 200th career win, 8-4 over the Giants.

Meeting up on the diamond . . .

The American League schedule for Wednesday offers up Toronto at Oakland, Seattle at Baltimore, Detroit at the Yankees, the Angels at Boston, Texas at Tampa Bay, Cleveland at Kansas City, and the White Sox at Minnesota. Gavin Floyd (8-9, 3.70 ERA) will take the mound for Chicago in that last matchup, while the Twins go with Francisco Liriano (11-7, 3.26 ERA). Righthander Floyd was roughed up by Minnesota in his last trip to the mound, surrendering six runs on 10 hits over 6 2-3 innings in a loss on August 12. Lefthander Liriano picked up the win for the Twins in that contest, holding the White Sox to just one run on seven hits in 5 2-3 innings pitched. Liriano fanned four.

Over in the National League on Wednesday it's then Milwaukee at St. Louis, San Diego at the Cubs, Florida at Pittsburgh, Washington at Atlanta, the Mets at Houston, Cincinnati at Arizona, Colorado at the Dodgers, and San Francisco at Philadelphia. Matt Cain (9-9, 3.11 ERA) will get the ball for the Giants on Wednesday, while Joe Blanton (4-6, 5.69 ERA) toes the rubber for the Phillies. Righthander Cain had to settle for a no-decision against the Cubs last time out, giving up three runs on eight hits over his six innings of work (while striking out nine). Righthander Blanton is also coming off a no-decision; he surrendered four runs on eight hits over 5 2-3 innings against the Dodgers.

Tips and Trends

Detroit Tigers at New York Yankees [7:05 PM ET]

TIGERS: Detroit has won their past 3 games, yet their season is all but over. The Tigers are 58-60 SU this year, 10 games back of the American League Central division lead. Detroit has struggled mightily away from home, going 20-36 SU this year. The Tigers are -2.92 and -0.05 units both SU and on the RL this season. The Detroit pitching staff has held their own against the Yankees, holding them to 1 run or fewer in 3 of the 5 meetings this season. Pitcher Jeremy Bonderman will attempt to keep that streak going, as he will make the road start tonight. Bonderman is 6-8 with an ERA of 5.16 and a WHIP of 1.36 this season.

New York Mets at Houston Astros [8:05 PM ET]

METS: New York is on the other side of the coin, as they are a team also out of the playoff chase, yet are ending the season in turmoil. New York has been arguably one of the most disappointing teams of the year. New York is just 59-59 SU this year, including a paltry 23-37 SU on the road. The Mets are -0.82 and +17.73 units both SU and on the RL respectively this season. Offensively, it's been 8 games since the Mets have scored more than 4 runs. Pitcher R.A. Dickey will look to pitch well tonight on the road, as he is 8-5 this season with an ERA of 2.43 and a WHIP of 1.15. The Mets are 2-5 in their last 7 road games against a team with a losing home record. New York is 2-5 in their last 7 games against a right-handed starter. The Mets are 7-20 in their last 27 Wednesday games. New York is 1-4 in their last 5 games during game 3 of a series. The Mets are 2-5 in Dickey's last 7 starts with 4 days of rest.

Mets are 5-13 last 18 road games.
Over is 13-5 last 18 games against a team with a losing record.

Key Injuries - LF Jason Bay (concussion) is out.

Projected Score: 2

ASTROS: (-106, O/U 7) Houston is competing hard as the season winds down, pretty much all you can ask for with a team completely out of the playoff picture. Houston has been a great team to back from a betting perspective since the All-Star break. The Astros are 51-66 SU this season, including 30-32 SU at home. Houston is +0.64 and -8.26 units both SU and on the RL overall this year. The Astros pitching staff has held their past 4 opponents to 3 runs or fewer. Ace Pitcher Brett Myers will take the home mound tonight, as he continues his near dominant season. Myers is 8-7 SU this year, with an ERA of 3.13 and a WHIP of 1.21. The Astros are 13-3 in their last 16 Wednesday games. Houston is 6-14 in their last 20 games against the National League East. The Astros are 2-5 in their last 7 games against a right-handed starter. Houston is 10-1 in Myers' last 11 home starts overall. The Astros are 6-1 in Myers' last 7 starts on grass. Houston is 5-1 in Myers' last 6 starts following a Quality Start in his last appearance.

Astros are 7-1 last 8 home games against a team with a road winning percentage less than .400%.
Under is 7-3 last 10 home games.

Key Injuries - 3B Jeff Keppinger (toe) is questionable.

Projected Score: 4 (SIDE of the Day)
