Saturday's betting tips: Kaymer now favored at British Open

Weather watch

After two days of relatively tame conditions, more traditional British Open weather is expected to move into Sandwich, England today. An 80 percent chance of rain with winds gusting to 30 mph is forecast throughout today’s third round and unquestionably will play havoc on the field.

Who’s hot

MLB: Opponents are hitting just .196 off Angels’ Game 1 starter Jered Weaver since June 8. Weaver has a miniscule 1.32 ERA during that stretch.

MLB: Angels Game 2 starter Ervin Santana is 13-3 with a 1.97 ERA against the A’s.

CFL: BC Lions are 4-0 in their last four games in Week 3.

Who’s not

CFL: Hamilton Tiger-Cats are 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 games against Saskatchewan.

MLB: Red Sox starter John Lackey has an 8.66 ERA since May, but did throw six shutout innings in his last start, albeit against the Orioles.

WNBA: The Dream are 1-10-1 ATS this season.

Quote to Note

“One of the things I'm looking forward to is actually the bad weather. I hope it comes in." – Phil Mickelson, who is 1-under, three off the lead.

Injury to note

Carlos Zambrano comes off the disabled list and is scheduled to start today against the Marlins. Before going on the DL with a back strain, Zambrano had surrendered five runs in his last 15 innings. He is 5-1 with a 3.01 ERA in 13 career games (11 starts) against the Marlins.

Game of the Day

St. Louis Cardinals (-121) at Cincinnati Reds

Betting Tips

Lucas Glover and Darren Clarke share the lead at the Open Championship at 4-under-par. But oddmakers expect Glover and Clarke to fail.

Martin Kaymer heads into today’s third round as the betting favorite. Kaymer (-650), the reigning PGA Championship champion, is at 3-under, one shot off the lead. Rory McIlroy, the pre-tournament favorite, is four shots back but is the second favorite at +800.

Saskatchewan has a tendency to get involved in low scoring games on the road. The under is 56-26-1 in the Roughriders’ last 83 road games.

The Cardinals have dominated the Reds with Chris Carpenter on the mound. St. Louis is 11-2 in its last 13 games against the Reds with Carpenter on the hill.

Saturday's six-pack

Odds to win the Super Bowl

4-1 Patriots-- I have no idea what to expect this season; its unchartered territory, with no offseason team workouts.

9-2 Packers-- Defending champs in an improved division.

5-1 Steelers-- Question is how healthy is Big Ben's foot?

7-1 Colts-- Not too fond of Jim Caldwell as a head coach.

7-1 Jets-- If only they played as well as they talk......

7-1 Cowboys-- Most overrated organization in all of sports?


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


Saturday's List of 13: Thoughts from vacation in the desert

13) What a fool I am; all along, I thought Elin Nordegren, the former wife of Eldrick Woods, was in it for love instead of money. How stupid of me.

Seems that Ms Nordegren is now dating investor Jamie Dingman, whose dad just happens to be a billionaire. Really?!?!?! No kidding.....all along I thought she might start dating box boys at Costco, but apparently not.

12) Sandy Koufax once intentionally walked Bob Uecker. Seriously.

11) Big boost for the Braves, getting Martin Prado back from his illness. Atlanta is rolling, and appear headed for a Wild Card ticket.

10) Vladimir Guerrero has a small crack in a bone in his hand; not sure if he going on the DL or not. Injury is probably a product of the brushback wars last week between the Orioles and Boston in Fenway.

9) Tom Watson shot his 15th career hole-in-one on the 6th hole Friday, then made the cut by two shots, so the ace relieved a lot of his stress.

8) ESPN's John Clayton said on the air Friday that last year's Texans had the worst NFL secondary of any team in the last decade. That takes up a lot of sorry teams. Wade Phillips runs their defense now, so they'll show improvement this year, and probably pretty big improvement.

7) Jim Riggelman, who quit as Nationals' manager while the team was on an 11-1 roll, has surfaced as a special assignment scout for the Giants. I doubt that job pays him the $300,000 he gave up in Washington, but at least he's back in the game.

6) Brandon Phillips sent the Cincinnati fans home happy Friday with a very dramatic walk-off homer in 9th inning, as the Reds beat St Louis, an inning after Pujols had homered to put the Redbirds ahead. .

5) Not only are the Rangers red-hot, they blanked Seattle the last couple nights at Safeco Field. Texas has now won eight games in a row.

4) Apparently the Mets want a real prospect for Carlos Beltran, but they have no leverage, since they get nothing if he walks after the season, so to get anything for him, they have to trade him in the next couple weeks.

3) Brad Zeigler saved the A's bacon Friday, getting Aybar to ground into a 4-6-3 double play with bags loaded, ending an Angel uprising that was the work of arsonist Michael Wuertz, who walked all three batters he faced. Oakland hung on to beat the Angels 5-3, who are 14-4 in their last 18.

2) Friday night was the ninth time in 18 starts the Padres scored zero or one run in one of Dustin Moseley's starts. Not good.

1) If it wasn't for the British Open being on TV, I would have zero idea what day it is; that said, golf came on TV last two nights at 1am in Vegas, so its still not always 100% clear whether I'm coming or going........

Canadian bacon: CFL Week 3 betting preview and picks
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Saturday, July 16

Saskatchewan Roughriders at Hamilton Tiger-Cats (-2.5, 51.5)

Here are two teams that have potential but found ways to lose their first two games of 2011. In the case of the Riders, both losses were inflicted in front of their diehard fans at Mosaic Field in Regina.

Of course, these Roughriders lost a few key players (namely Andy Fantusz) but have had the Tiger-Cats’ number in recent history, winning with comfortable margins in both of their showdowns last year. In fact, Saskatchewan has emerged the winner in nine of its last 10 meetings with Hamilton.

Bettors can expect a high-scoring game since the over has paid in nine of the last 12 contests between these squads. The over 51.5 is probably the safest bet for this one, even if Saskatchewan will probably leave Hamilton with its first win of the year.

Pick: Saskatchewan


B.C. Lions at Edmonton Eskimos (-2.5, 54)

The Eskimos won their first two games of the season, despite having 21 new players in their 42-man roster. Last year, Edmonton beat B.C. in two of their three matchups.

The injury to DB Stanley Franks last week will weaken the Lions defense. Edmonton RB Fred Stamps has been really hot, with 212 rushing yards on only 10 carries. The Eskimos defense gave up just 10 points against the Tiger-Cats last week. The previous week, it forced four turnovers in a win over the Riders in Regina.

Like the Stampeders, the Lions lost their first two games of the year and are already in a must-win situation. Fortunately for Wally Buono’s men, the Eskimos are depleted by injuries on both offense and defense. Running back Arkee Whitlock is out this week and so are LB Rod Davis and DT Etienne Legare.

Pick: Lions

Lady luck: Saturday's best WNBA bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chicago Sky at Atlanta Dream (-3.5, 158)

It’s safe to say the Atlanta Dream are suffering from a severe WNBA Finals hangover. A year after getting swept by the Seattle Storm in the finals, the Dream are struggling to find last season’s form and are just 3-9 to start the 2011 campaign.

Atlanta is coming off back-to-back road losses to the Chicago Sky and New York Liberty, failing to cover in each contest and dropping to a dismal 1-10-1 against the spread this summer. Scoring has been the main issue, putting up only 69 points in both those road defeats. That output is almost 10 points below the Dream’s season average.

Against Chicago last Saturday, they shot 38.4 percent from the field, were 1 for 7 from the 3-point line and coughed the ball up 24 times. Atlanta followed that with another terrible night versus the Liberty on Wednesday, shooting 40.6 percent, going 0 for 7 from beyond the arc and turning the ball over 18 times.

Chicago, on the other hand, has won three of its last four contests, including the 81-69 victory over Atlanta, improving to 8-6 ATS on the year with a 3-1 mark against the spread in that span. The Sky have won seven of the past 10 head-to-head contests with the Dream, posting an 8-2 ATS record and have covered in each of the teams’ last three meetings.

Pick: Chicago


Seattle Storm at Minnesota Lynx (-6, 149)

For a team missing the league’s best player, the Storm have done pretty well.

Seattle, which is without center Lauren Jackson until at least the postseason, is treading water in the Western Conference, going 4-3 since the MVP opted for hip surgery earlier this month.

Even more impressive is the Storm’s fight against the spread, covering in four of those seven contests, including Thursday’s 69-66 loss to the San Antonio Silver Stars as 5-point road underdogs. Seattle fought the Silver Stars hard, with seven lead changes and five ties in the fourth quarter.

"We were in a gray area about what we should do in certain situations," Storm forward Le'coe Willingham told the Seattle Times. "A little bit of it is playing a team for the first time, but the game was right there in our grasp and we let it slip away."

Oddsmakers are once again undervaluing the fight in Seattle’s lineup Saturday. Books have pegged the reigning WNBA champs as 6-point pups in Minnesota, taking on a Lynx squad that played in Indiana Friday night.

Pick: Seattle

Saturday's streaking and slumping starting pitchers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Streaking

CC Sabathia, New York Yankees (13-4, 2.72 ERA)

The Yankees’ hefty lefty has thrust himself to the front of the AL Cy Young race with his recent performances. Sabathia is 9-1 in his last 10 and carries a six-game winning streak into the weekend. Even more impressive is the southpaw’s scoreless streak, which has lasted 23 2-2 innings. In his most recent start, Sabathia gave up only four hits while striking out nine batters in a complete-game shutout of the Rays.

Jered Weaver, Los Angeles Angels (11-4, 1.86 ERA)

Perhaps Sabathia’s closest competition for the AL Cy Young is the Halos’ red-hot righty. Weaver got the starting nod for the American League in this week’s All-Star Game and is unbeaten in his last nine appearances, going 5-0 with a 1.27 ERA. Before the break, he limited the Mariners to just one run on six hits while sitting down six batters over nine innings of work.


Slumping

Carlos Carrasco, Cleveland Indians (8-6, 4.28 ERA)

Carrasco fell on his face to end the first half of the season, giving up 11 earned runs in just seven totals innings over his past two starts. This skid comes on the heels of a solid June, in which the righthander went 4-2 with a 1.90 ERA. But to be fair to the native of Venezuela, he was up against the Blue Jays and Yankees in those losses – two of the biggest-swinging teams in the bigs.

Jeff Francis, Kansas City Royals (3-10, 4.60 ERA)

The switch to the American League continues to haunt Francis, who is tied for the third most losses in the majors heading into the weekend. The lefthander hasn’t picked up a win since June 10 but can blame his surroundings for that more than anything. Francis isn’t pitching poorly, going 0-2 with a 3.71 ERA in his last three starts. However, Kansas City’s bats have provided just 4.92 runs of support for Francis this year, which ranks 12th lowest among AL pitchers.

Baseball's easiest and toughest second-half schedules
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Major League Baseball second half is off and running and it’s time to analyze who has the easiest and toughest schedules the rest of the way:

EASIEST:

San Francisco Giants

If Bruce Bochy’s club doesn’t get a chance to defend its World Series title, it will have no one to blame but itself.

The Giants have some tough series ahead (three games in Philadelphia later this month, four more versus the Phillies at home next month) but you can’t ignore the fact that the Dodgers, Rockies and Padres are bad teams right now, and the Giants face that NL West trifecta a total of 28 times the rest of the way.

That stretch started with a Thursday night date in San Diego. And if the Diamondbacks are still truly threatening the Giants in September, know this: San Francisco has 19 games that month against teams that are currently below the .500 mark.

Cleveland Indians

There were two great stories at the beginning of the year in the AL Central: The Indians and the Royals. Well, there’s only one left now, as the Royals limped into the break 18 games below .500. The Indians are still hanging around, and though they have a season-defining stretch to open August, things are rather light everywhere else.

Cleveland has only one series left this month against a team that is over .500 (Angels). And after a 10-gamer to open next month versus the Red Sox, Rangers and Tigers, the Indians close August with 10 games against the Mariners, Royals and Athletics. And the Tribe are one of few AL teams that don’t have to play the Yankees the rest of the way.

Milwaukee Brewers

This was a toss-up between the Cardinals and the Brewers, depending on who you think is the more powerful team in the NL Central. We’ll lean on the Brewers, who have more pop and perhaps more incentive to win the division.

The Cubs and Astros are the dregs of that division, and Milwaukee will be fortunate enough to play that parlay 18 more times. In August, there’s also a four-gamer versus the dreadful Dodgers, and also have four days off that month. That will be key as the Brewers can reset their rotation and rest some of their big bats as the race with St. Louis tightens.


TOUGHEST:

New York Mets

The dominoes began to fall over the All- Star break, when the Mets shipped out closer Francisco Rodriguez. More players will be sold and more losses will mount. Give credit to Terry Collins’ crew for hanging around, and showing some fight this season.

But with his troops dwindling, Collins and Co. will simply not be able to hang in the NL East, especially when they have to play the first-place Phillies and second-place Braves a total of 18 times. Plus, New York will close July on a 10-game road trip, and they just returned from a pre-break West Coast trip, as well. The tread is going to show on those tires before too long.

Tampa Bay Rays

Like the Mets, Tampa Bay has hung around and surprised some in its first season without Carl Crawford. Then, Manny Ramirez up and retired. But the Rays have gotten off the mat nicely. That said, they are not as strong as the Red Sox or Yankees, and they have to play those two AL East rivals a total of 25 times before season’s end.

There are also six games against the red-hot Rangers, who are in first place in the AL West. They will end July with a stretch against the Royals, Athletics and Mariners, but Tampa Bay doesn’t have another day off until August 15, and only has four days off the rest of the season. That’s a lot of baseball against some pretty good teams.

Oakland Athletics

When you’re one of the worst teams in baseball, every game, every series is tough. But this second half is truly going to test this tired bunch, as Oakland only has just one series left in July against a team below the .500 mark (Minnesota). But wait, it gets worse.

The Athletics must still play six games versus the Rays, six more versus the Yankees, four versus the Indians and three against the Red Sox. Strangely enough, they have two days off next week, but then begin a stretch of 13 games in 13 days into August. If you thought they were fade material now, just wait until next month rolls around.

Hot lines: Saturday's best MLB bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Los Angeles Angels (-106, 7) at Oakland Athletics, Game 2

Angels starter Ervin Santana has dominated the A’s throughout his career, going 13-3 with a tiny 1.97 ERA. Oakland starter Rich Harden has been money at the Coliseum, as the A’s are 29-9 in his last 38 home starts. So a pitcher’s duel would seem to be in store; hence, the relatively low total.

However, a stiff 13 mph wind is forecast to be blowing out to the power alley in right-center field. The Over is 5-0 in Harden’s last five starts vs. Angels and 6-1-1 in the last eight meetings between the Angels and A’s in Oakland.

We’re going to play Over 7 here and keep an eye on Game 1 of the doubleheader. If either team has to use its bullpen extensively in the first game of the doubleheader, this could be a big play for us.

Pick: Over 7


Washington Nationals at Atlanta Braves (-169, 7)

The Braves head into the second half of the season as one of the hottest team in the majors. With Tommy Hanson on the mound, there’s no reason to believe this won’t continue.

Atlanta notched its 10,000th win Friday and are in position to pick up 10,001 when Hanson faces John Lannan today at Turner Field, where the Braves have won 11 of 12 games.

For whatever reason, the Nats really stink on Saturdays. They’ve 65 of their last 95 Saturday affairs.

Now, they’ve got to face Hanson, who is emerging as one of the top power pitchers in the entire National League.

The Braves have won all six of Hanson’s last starts and should be in good shape against up-and-down John Lannan.

Pick: Braves
