Bettors' best friend: Saturday's wagering tips

Weather to watch

Yankees at Red Sox: There is an expected 10 mph blowing from third toward first across the diamond.

Rockies at Cardinals: There is a 30 percent chance of showers and a 14 mph wind blowing toward center field.

Brewers at Reds: There is a 30 percent chance of showers and an 11 mph wind blowing toward right field.

Nationals at Mets: There is an expected 10 mph blowing from third toward first across the diamond.

Indians at White Sox: There is a 20 percent chance of showers and a 20 mph wind blowing out toward center field.

Rays at Royals: There is a 12 mph wind blowing out toward center field.

Padres at Giants: There is a 10 mph wind blowing out toward center field.

Who’s hot

The over is 8-3 in the Twins past 11 games.

The Brewers are 6-2 in their past eight road games.

The over is 7-2 in the Royals past nine home games.

Kentucky is 6-2 ATS in its past eight road games.

Temple is 12-5 ATS in its past 17 games.

Who’s not

The Mets are 3-9 in their past 12 games.

The under is 6-2-1 in the Dodgers past nine games.

The under is 6-2-1 in the Phillies past nine games.

Illinois is 2-6 ATS in its past eight home games.

Rutgers is 3-7-1 ATS in its past 11 home games.

Key stat

41: Points allowed in the fourth quarter this year by the Oklahoma Sooners. Overall, the Sooners have been outscored 41-10 in the final stanza this season. And don’t tell us it’s because of blowouts. The team has struggled against cream puff Utah State and scrappy Cincinnati and Air Force. The team’s defense is ranked 97th in the country and can be torched on the ground and air. Texas has a chance.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

The New York Giants defense took a hit it didn’t need when it learned defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka will be sidelined indefinitely with a bulging disk in his neck. The team is deep at the position, but Kiwanuka is a pass rush specialist and the former linebacker has the unique ability to drop back into coverage on a given play. The Giants can’t afford the injury as the team’s defense is allowing a stunning 137 rush yards and 28.5 points per game. "It's disappointing. It just feels like a stiff neck," Kiwanuka told the Associated Press. "The pain is not intolerable but I want to make sure that I will be OK down the line. I have full trust in the medical staff and the trainers at the Giants. I'm going to do everything that is asked of me so when I'm cleared I'll be back and ready to go."

Game of the Day

Stanford Cardinals at Oregon Ducks (-7, 66)

Notable quotes

“And ESPN, oh my God. Oh my God. To go down to training camp and report everyday is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen. I’m watching yesterday and one of the guys actually said LeBron looked fierce in practice. I’m like fierce in practice? What the hell does that mean? He was fierce in the second day of training camp. You’re like come on man, he really didn’t say that did he. This summer with LeBron and all the stuff that went on is like a bad movie. You just can’t make this stuff up.” – Charles Barkley on ESPN’s handling of LeBron James this summer.

Tips and notes

The Broncos again will be without running back Knowshon Moreno. Hobbled by a bad hamstring, the former Georgia star will be sidelined a second straight week. Moreno had 111 rush yards and two touchdowns in his first two games, but now the team is counting on Correll Buckhalter and Laurence Maroney to again shoulder the load. In a 27-13 loss to the Colts last week, Maroney was stuffed on a fourth-down play at the 1-yard line.

Because the Cardinals offense needs a greater level of difficulty, it will be without receivers Steve Breaston and Early Doucet this week due to injury. That means the deep threat opposite stud Larry Fitzgerald will be one of this grab back of awful: Stephen Williams, Andre Roberts, Max Komar, and Onrea Jones. Sounds like a recipe for disaster as quarterback Derek Anderson must be on the same page as these backups against the Chargers on Sunday.

When Florida visits defending national champion Alabama on Saturday, points figure to be at a premium. Good luck then to the Gators, who will be without kicker Caleb Sturgis. The junior could be sidelined up to eight weeks with back pain related to a stress fracture. As a result, punter Chas Henry will take over field goals and freshman Brad Phillips will manage kickoffs. Good luck with a kicking game in disarray in Tuscaloosa.

Saturday's six-pack

NFL trends with Week 4 rapidly approaching........
-- Jacksonville is 4-14 vs spread in last 18 home games.

-- Steelers are 7-2 vs spread in game before their bye.

-- 49ers are 6-1-1 vs spread in last eight games as an underdog.

-- Lions covered one of last eight divisional games.

-- Eagles covered one of their last five home games.

-- Buffalo is 6-11-1 vs spread in last 18 divisional home games.


************************************************** ******


Saturday's List of 13: Things I learned in September...........

13) Calling a fake FG in OT can be hazardous to your health, even if it works; Michigan State coach Dantonio had a mild heart attack hours after pulling off the play of the year so far in college football, beating Notre Dame with a fake FG in OT.

12) NFL teams play better with a good QB. After three games, Sam Bradford is already the Rams’ best QB since Kurt Warner.

11) Steelers can win without Ben Roethlisberger; they’re 3-0, despite starting three different QB’s. There’s no way this has ever happened before in history of the NFL.

10) Rockies went as Troy Tulowitzki went in September, but baseball isn’t a one-man game, and the Rockies missed the playoffs.

9) It takes great players to be great; Texas Longhorns graduated several great college players last year, and as a result they’re down a little right now (offense ranked 77th in US).

8) NC State is the last unbeaten team in the ACC; somewhere, Roman Gabriel and Torry Holt are smiling. Remember that Tom O’Brien has a long bowl winning streak alive from his days at Boston College. The Wolfpack will win a bowl game at the end of the season.

7) Mama Mia’s pizzeria in the back of O’Shea’s casino is still in my top 3 pizza places in the world.

6) A new stadium really helped the Minnesota Twins, but Minnesota Gophers? Not so much.

5) Buck Showalter did an amazing CPR job on the Orioles the last two months, but was it a mirage, or will it carry over to 2011. A team that was once on pace to lose 113 games isn’t going to lose 100. That should sell some tickets this winter.

4) The new smartphones are great; my new ringtone is the late Harry Kalas calling a home run. Good stuff.

3) College basketball magazines all came out Labor Day weekend, but without schedules; have to get those online starting next week. Never too early to start preparing for the season.

2) The 2011 baseball season starts on a Friday for first time. Good idea, since there ain’t much going on Final Four weekend anyway, except for the two hoop games that Saturday night.

1) If you stand on a sidewalk in Las Vegas with a large snake around your neck, people will pay to have their picture taken with you. Not for me, though. If I even touched that snake, I’d be in the coronary care unit with coach Dantonio.

Canadian Bacon: CFL Week 14 Analysis and predictions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SATURDAY

Saskatchewan Roughriders at Toronto Argonauts (+4, 49)

Darian Durant, the CFL’s Player of the Month, could make the difference in Toronto Saturday. Durant, a five-year veteran, dominates the Cohon circuit with 3,861 passing yards and 441 attempted passes. He is currently third in rushing TDs with five and ninth in rushing yards with 452. Running back Wes Cates may have slowed down but he still is on the verge of having 21 touchdowns this year.

As for Toronto, Ronald Flemons and Chad Owens have also dominated September and both were among the Player of the Month picks. Defensive end Flemons has recorded four tackles, four sacks, broke up two passes and got a tackle for loss yards in his last four games. On Special Teams, Chad Owens gained 639 yards on kickoff returns, 241 yards and a touchdown on punt returns and 111 yards on missed field goals returns. The Argos will also count on the comeback of their spectacular RB Corey Boyd, who’s been inactive for two weeks because of a concussion.

But it is also because of concussion that their starting QB Cleo Lemon will likely be replaced by Dalton Bell.

Pick: Saskatchewan


Winnipeg Blue Bombers at B.C. Lions (-4, 53)

Can a team have worse luck than the Blue Bombers? Their last three defeats came by a margin of four points, including last week’s lost to the Alouettes where they scored 40 points. It was the first time in 10 years that they lost despite such a productive offensive showing. The Bombers lost six of their last seven games and will attempt to stop a two-loss streak this weekend.

This curse continues plague the Bombers, with starting QB Steven Jyles listed as doubtful with the flu. Still, the Bombers have no choice. To have any hope of making it to the playoffs they need a win right now. If Jyles is in no shape to play, it will be Alex Brink, the third QB on the depth chart following the injury to Buck Pierce. He is the one who had the most reps this week in practice.

The Bombers and the Lions do share the fact that they give up almost as many points as they produce. The Bombers generated 331 points but gave up 334 in 12 games. The Lions scored 305 points but allowed as many in that span. The Lions will be looking for their second win in a row and just their second win in seven games. It won’t be easy but they should prevail.

Pick: B.C.


SUNDAY

Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Edmonton Eskimos (+1, 50.5)

DeAndra Cobb seems to be back on track after a tough start and now he is the fourth-best ball carrier in the league.

Veteran SB Kamau Peterson was back at practice for the Eskimos and could be available this Sunday. Linebacker Maurice Lloyd, RB Calvin McCarty, DB Randy Drew and DE Kai Ellis should also be back in the lineup. Slotback Kelly Campbell still remains doubtful as well as DB Lawrence Gordon.

The Tiger-Cats have better offensive production than the Eskimos, as well as a more efficient defense. In 12 games, Hamilton scored 295 points and gave up only 318 while the Eskimos only scored 225 and allowed 378.

Pick: Edmonton

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

Streakers

Chris Capuano, Milwaukee Brewers (4-4, 3.75 ERA)

The veteran left-hander is in the midst of one of the best stretches of his career.

Last month he started five games, allowing just eight earned runs over 30.1 innings. Capuano doesn’t do a great job of going long into games – he didn’t get past the seventh during that stretch -- but he has become the model of consistency and allowed no more than five hits in any start the past five weeks.

"Knock on wood, I've been real happy with the way the arm feels," Capuano told the Associated Press.

Brian Matusz, Baltimore Orioles (9-12, 4.40 ERA)

The 23-year-old left-hander has been one of the top pitchers for the Orioles the past two months.

Matusz hasn’t lost since August 14, lowering his ERA nearly a full run over that span. During that stretch he has gone 5-0 over seven starts, going 40 innings and yielding just seven runs over that span. One of the biggest keys for the South Paw has been posting high strikeout totals.

During his hot streak he has 34 punch-outs against just 10 free passes.

"Any game, college or pro, I have to pitch inside," Matusz told USA Today. "I just believe the more options you have, the more tools you have in the toolbox, that makes it easier to go out and do the job."


Slumping

Mark Buehrle, Chicago White Sox (12-13, 4.32 ERA)

The hurler has been horrid in his past three outings, getting shelled for 15 earned runs over his past 17 innings and not lasting past the sixth inning any of those games.

Buehrle’s biggest problem is that he is struggling to strike out opposing hitters. He has just a 9-to-3 strikeout to walk ratio and has given up 30 hits the past three times he toed the rubber. Letting opposing hitters make contact has been a huge issue as batters are hitting a blistering .296 against him this year.

A.J. Burnett, New York Yankees (10-15, 5.33 ERA)

This might be the worst season of the 33-year-old’s career.

Burnett has gotten beat around in three of his past five outings as the team has dropped eight of his past 10 starts. In his most recent outing, a 7-5 loss to Toronto, Burnett was clubbed for seven earned runs on seven hits, including two home runs, in just 2.1 innings. Over his past 40.2 innings, he has given up 28 earned runs.

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

Toronto Blue Jays at Minnesota Twins (-113, 8)

The Blue Jays aren’t afraid of the Twins and their best home record in baseball. They aren’t afraid of the team’s potent lineup or solid pitching staff. But they are afraid of left-handed starter Brian Duensing.

Toronto couldn’t hit left-handed pitching if it was using shovels this season. Snow shovels.

The Blue Jays are hitting a meager .213 against South Paws this year, easily the worst in the Majors by a staggering 26 points. Even more startling, the team has scored a league-low 128 runs against lefties this season.

"It really is a mystery," Toronto manager Cito Gaston told the Sudbury Star. "As a right-handed hitter I couldn't get to the park early enough if I knew a lefty was pitching. This just doesn't make a lot of sense."

On the road, the team also is hitting a mediocre .243 away from home this season.

Meantime, the Twins have a solid 3.55 ERA at home this season and have recorded 511 strikeouts. They are the best home team in the Majors for a reason.

Pick: Twins


Arizona Diamondbacks at Los Angeles Dodgers (-165, 7.5)

For a pair of pop-gun offenses, the end of the year can’t come soon enough.

The Diamondbacks have seen the under go 6-2-1 in their past nine games and are averaging a mediocre 4.42 runs per game. For the Dodgers, they are having just as much difficulty plating runners, seeing the under post a mark of 6-3-1 in its past 10 games.

"The second half, all of a sudden it goes the other way," Dodgers hitting coach Don Mattingly told the Los Angeles Times. "I haven't done anything different. I never try to change anything, as far as how to approach at-bats."

And then take a look at the pitchers. Joe Saunders has been solid for the snakes and has seen the under go 1-1 in his three most recent starts. Across the diamond, Chad Billingsley has had the under cash two of the past three times he took the bump.

Overall, the under has gone 3-0-1 in the team’s past four meetings.

Pick: Under

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

On October 2 in Baseball History...

1908 - Addie Joss of the Cleveland Indians pitched a perfect game, defeating the Chicago White Sox 1-0.

1916 - Grover Alexander pitched his sixteenth shutout of the season, allowing only three Boston Braves hits in a 2-0 triumph.

1919 - In Game Two of the World Series, White Sox pitcher Lefty Williams falters in the third inning as the Reds take a 3-0 lead. Swede Risberg and Chick Gandil fail in the clutch in a 4-2 Cincinnati win. Chicago manager Kid Gleason tells owner Charlie Comiskey that he is suspicious of his players, but neither league president follows with action.

1920 - The only tripleheader in this century was played, with the Cincinnati Reds defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates in the first two games. The Pirates won the nightcap, which was called after six innings because of darkness.

1921 - The Yankees close the season by beating the Red Sox, 7-6. Babe Ruth hits his fifty-ninth home run off Curt Fullerton.

1932 - The Yankees sweep the Cubs in the World Series. Tony Lazzeri hits two homers and Earle Combs adds another in the 13-6 laugher.

1936 - The Yankees even the World Series and set a Series record for runs as they demolish the Giants 18-4. Lefty Gomez coasts to a six-hit win, while every member of the Yankees lineup makes a hit and scores at least one run. Tony Lazzeri hits a grand slam, the first in World Series play since 1920.

1938 - Bob Feller struck out eighteen Detroit Tigers, setting a single-game record that stood until Steve Carlton broke it in 1969.

1947 - The Dodgers squeak out a 9-8 win over the Yankees, jumping on Bobo Newsom and Vic Raschi for six runs in the second inning. Yogi Berra becomes the first player to hit a pinch home run in World Series history, belting one off Brooklyn's Ralph Branca in the seventh inning.

1949 - The Yankees and the Red Sox enter the last day of the season tied for first place and nearly 70,000 pack Yankee Stadium to see the finale. Vic Raschi nurses a 1-0 lead into the eighth against Ellis Kinder before the Yankees score four runs and go on to win the game and the pennant 5-3. Ted Williams also loses the batting title as George Kell goes two-for-three in Detroit (.3429 to .3427).

1954 - The Giants sweep the American League team with the best record in history, scoring four runs in the fifth for a 7-4 win over Cleveland. The Indians had won 111 games, a record that stood until surpassed by the 1998 Yankees.

1955 - Surprise Brooklyn starter rookie Roger Craig pitches six innings for the 5-3 win to even the World Series. Two home runs by Duke Snider and one by Sandy Amoros prove too much for the Yankees.

1958 - The Braves erupt for seven runs in the first and go on to defeat the Yankees 13-5. Lew Burdette is shaky but beats New York for the fourth consecutive time in the World Series. He also chips in with a three-run home run.
