Sunday's betting tips: McCutchen thriving in cleanup spot

Weather to watch

There’s a 60 percent chance of rain Sunday at the British Open, with winds from the southwest at 21 miles per hour. The high temperature will be 62 degrees.

Who’s hot

MLB: Pittsburgh is 9-2 in Kevin Correia’s last 11 road starts.

MLB: Arizona is 8-2 in Daniel Hudson’s last 10 starts on grass.

WNBA: The New York Liberty are 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine games.

Who’s not

MLB: Colorado is 2-15 in its last 17 Sunday games.

MLB: The Under is 2-8 in Homer Bailey’s last 10 starts for Cincinnati.

WNBA: The Indiana Fever are 2-6 ATS in their last eight trips to Connecticut.

Injury not to be overlooked

Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista, who has missed two games with an ankle injury, will be evaluated again on Sunday in hopes he can return Tuesday against Seattle. Bautista leads MLB with 31 homers.

Key stat

16 – Heading into Saturday’s game, Pittsburgh center fielder Andrew McCutchen had 16 RBIs in the 14 games he’s hit cleanup. The Pirates, in the thick of the NL Central race, have not had a winning season since 1992.

Notable quotable

"Sometimes we have inclinations that certain things might be happening in certain ballparks and we are aware of it and we try to protect our signs.” – Yankees manager Joe Girardi, who said the Blue Jays “could be” stealing signs using illegal methods.

Game of the day

USA vs. Japan in Women’s World Cup Final, 2:45 p.m. ET

Tips and notes

The USA women, 22-0-3 alltime against Japan, are favored to win the World Cup title Sunday in Germany. BetOnline.com has the USA at -185 to hoist the trophy, with Japan set at +150. On the total of 2 goals in regulation, the odds are -150 on Over and +130 on Under.

Sources told ESPN that NFL free agency is likely to begin July 25, assuming progress continues to be made toward a new collective bargaining agreement. Teams would get a 72-hour window to negotiate with their own free agents before any team could approach those players.

Umpire Chris Conroy will be behind the plate when Baltimore hosts Cleveland on Sunday. The Over is 6-1 in Conroy's last seven games calling balls and strikes.

Sunday's six-pack

Odds to win the college football national championship

3-1-- Oklahoma-- 20-8-1 vs spread in last 29 games as home favorite.

4-1-- Alabama-- +31 in turnovers the last two seasons (24-3).

6-1-- LSU-- Play Oregon at JerryWorld in interesting season opener.

7-1-- Oregon-- NCAA's guillotine is hanging over this program's head.

8-1-- Florida State-- 4-1 in last five bowls, scoring average of 36.8 ppg.

11-1-- Nebraska-- 29-12 under Pelini, despite a minus-7 turnover ratio.


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


Sunday's List of 13: Thinking out loud in the desert.........

13) I want to know how many taxi cabs there are in Las Vegas, because I think every one of them was out tonight. Wish one of the drivers would write a book about his/her experiences. Would be good stuff.

12) Friday's crowd for Boston-Tampa Bay game: 25,729. Saturday they drew 32,487, still 10% short of capacity, and that includes lof of Boston fans. The future of the baseball in the Tampa Bay area isn't very bright- these are big games in the AL East/Wild Card race.

11) Rumor has it the Rays were hot after Francisco Rodriguez before the Mets traded him to Milwaukee.

10) No night in a Las Vegas casino is official until you see a guy wearing a Hawaiian shirt and a sombrero. Happens every night.

9) Rumors are out there that the Colorado Rockies are floating their star pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez; how would they justify that to their fans?

8) Baseball's appeal rules for suspensions stinks; David Ortiz can appeal his suspension, and play in these important Tampa Bay games, then drop his appeal when Boston is playing lesser teams. Not good.

7) Tampa Bay outfielder Sam Fuld went to high school with the guy who founded Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg.

6) When Dick Stockton/Tim McCarver work together on Saturday FOX games, they spend way too much time talking about things that went on before 1970. Try to keep it in this century, fellas.

5) Former heavyweight boxing contender Earnie Shavers was signing this weekend at a sports memorabilia shop at Planet Hollywood. I'm not a big boxing guy, but I walked past his table-- he's a very large man, still looks like he could kick someone's butt, and he's in his 60's. .

4) Mark Ellis is 12-24 with 10 RBI at Coors Field this season. In every other stadium, he's hitting .211 with 16 RBI in 242 AB's.

3) How could the Lakers not tell Brian Shaw face-to-face that they were not going to hire him as head coach? Shaw found out by watching TV.

2) Boston's BABC summer team won the Peach Jam in Augusta, Georgia, one of the best summer basketball tournaments. Jaylen Brantley scored 24 points in the finals for BABC, which beat a team from Memphis.

1) Is the NFL going to have a supplemental draft after the new CBA is signed? Where do you think Terrelle Pryor will go? He's going to be an interesting study, because he didn't want to leave college- he left because of all the NCAA problems Ohio State has. He's not NFL-ready yet.

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

Washington Mystics at Los Angeles Sparks (-8.5, 148.5)

Los Angeles basketball fans are used to having a Bryant lead their team to victory. But, in the case of the Sparks, it’s not No. 24 pushing the squad to back-to-back wins.

Joe Bryant, the former pro baller and father of Lakers star Kobe Bryant, is 2-0 as the new head coach of the L.A. Sparks, picking up win No. 2 with a 79-74 victory against the Tulsa Shock Friday night. This is Bryant’s second go-around as Los Angeles’ coach, having stepped into the head coaching role from 2005 to 2007.

Bryant has his work cut out for him in Los Angeles. His Sparks are playing without their best player, Candace Parker, who is out until at least next month with a torn meniscus. In order to make up for Parker’s 18 points per game, Bryant has leaned on bench offense in his two games on the sidelines, getting great production from his reserves.

In those two games, Los Angeles’ reserves have scored a combined 67 points, including a 49-point in an 84-74 victory over the San Antonio Silver Stars Tuesday.

That offensive outpouring has allowed L.A. to maintain its scoring prowess without Parker in the lineup. The Sparks are averaging more than 80 points (fourth in the WNBA) and have played over the total in seven of their 12 games this season. The two games under Bryant have pushed with the oddsmakers’ number.

Pick: Over


Indiana Fever at Connecticut Sun (-3, 151.5)

The Connecticut Sun are happy to be back home after a three-game road trip. The Sun, who haven’t played inside Mohegan Sun Arena since July 1, went 1-2 SU and ATS on that trip, winning their most recent outing, 68-59, over the New York Liberty Friday.

Connecticut’s two defeats on the trip were due to terrible defense, giving up 90 points each to Indiana and Minnesota and allowing those opponents to shoot nearly 50 percent from the floor (combined 68 for 137). Against the Liberty, the Sun clamped down, allowing New York to shoot just 37.5 percent and forcing 18 turnovers.

"The defensive end has got to come first because that can get you through down times," head coach Mike Thibault told reporters. "(Indiana and Seattle) are both veteran teams that have played together for a while. We, for stretches, are like that, and for some others we're not. And certainly not for long enough stretches on the road."

Connecticut is yielding 73.2 points per game at home this year – nearly five points fewer than on the road. And, in the last five contests with the Fever, the over/under is 1-4.

Pick: Under

Cleveland at Baltimore
The Indians look to bounce back from yesterday's 6-5 loss and take advantage of a Baltimore team that is 3-13 in its last 16 games after scoring 5 runs or more in the previous game.

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

Streaking

Jaime Garcia, St. Louis Cardinals (9-3, 3.22 ERA)

Garcia continues to impress in his second full season in the bigs. The Cardinals lefty has won three straight outings despite a 4.15 ERA over that span. His most recent performance was a six-inning showing, in which Garcia allowed two runs on seven hits while striking out five batters. He was stellar in his last start versus the Reds, giving up only one earned run on two hits in six innings in an 8-1 victory on July 5.

Jair Jurrjens, Atlanta Braves (12-3, 1.87 ERA)

Jurrjens is giving the Phillies staff a run for their money in the NL Cy Young race. The Braves’ budding ace has won four straight starts and carries a 1.05 ERA during this streak. His final start before the break was a solid six-inning effort, in which the right hander allowed one run on five hits in a win over Colorado. Jurrjens’ brief showing in the All-Star Game forced the club to give him an extra day of rest heading into Sunday.


Slumping

Aaron Cook, Colorado Rockies (0-4, 5.82 ERA)

The Rockies sinkerballer hasn’t been himself since returning from a broken finger suffered this spring. In six starts this season, Cook has pitched just 34 total innings – an average of 5 2-3 innings per outing. He’s yet to earn a win and is coming off a disastrous outing against the Braves last Wednesday. He allowed seven earned runs on 10 hits in five innings.

Jake Peavy, Chicago White Sox (4-3, 5.27 ERA)

The All-Star break wasn’t enough down time for Peavy, who had this Tuesday's start pushed to the weekend due to a sore right arm. He told reporters he’s only been about 70 percent for his last three starts, which explains his dreadful 0-2 record and 7.71 ERA in that span. In his last start before the break, Peavy lasted only 4 1-3 innings, giving up five runs on 10 hits in a 6-3 loss to the Twins.

Sunday Night Baseball: Red Sox at Rays
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boston Red Sox at Tampa Bay Rays (125, 8)

This week’s Sunday night game is an American League East showcase with the division-leading Boston Red Sox paying a visit to Tropicana Field, home of the third-place Tampa Bay Rays.

Tampa won Friday and Boston won Saturday, setting up Sunday's rubber game.

TROUBLE REACHING HOME, AT HOME

Home has not been where the runs are for the Rays. Overall, they are averaging 4.27 runs a game (14th best in MLB) but most of their scoring has been on the road. At Tropicana Field, Tampa Bay averages only 3.4 runs per game, which that ranks among the worst in baseball.

But the Rays’ bats have been coming alive in the second half of the season. Before the break, they scored a season-high eight runs against the Cardinals at home in a win. And, in their first game after the break against the Red Sox, the Rays set another season-high when they scored nine in a 9-6 win in the series opener.

WE’RE GOING STREAKING

Count the Boston Red Sox among the teams not happy to see the All-Star break arrive. Boston had been on a tear, winning six consecutive games including a four-game sweep of the Baltimore Orioles in which they scored 32 runs. Then the All-Star Break arrived and a four-day layoff was followed by a 9-6 loss to Tampa Bay on Friday. The Red Sox bounced back with a 9-5 win Saturday.

Boston has traditionally been a slow-starting team after the break. The Red Sox haven’t won the series immediately following the All-Star break in 11 years.

DELAYED HOMECOMING

Former Tampa Bay Ray Carl Crawford will not be joining his former and current teammates in Tropicana Field for this series. Crawford is still nursing a hamstring strain and will not rejoin the Red Sox until Monday. He is currently rehabbing at Triple-A Pawtucket. Without Crawford, the Red Sox are 13-9 overall this season.

ONE-HIT WONDER

Sunday night marks Josh Beckett’s return to the scene of his one-hitter on June 15. Beckett was sensational in a 3-0 Boston win at Tropicana Field, as only a third-inning single separated him from a perfect game. Beckett breezed through the contest, throwing only 97 pitches and striking out six. It was his only meeting against the Rays this season.

Since that game, he has been less than spectacular, yielding nine earned runs in 19 innings of work. Beckett is also coming off a knee injury, hyperextending his left knee against the Orioles last week. The injury forced him out of the American League’s rotation for the All-Star Game in Arizona this past week.

"I played long toss (on) some flat ground," Beckett told MLB.com this week. "Everything is good, just like I said it was. If that would have been a regular game, I would have pitched in it. It's just tough. You go out there, there's a lot of things going on before the (All-Star Game), maybe time is not always on your side."

Beckett is 8-4 with a career 3.15 ERA and 125 strikeouts versus the Rays.

RAY OF LIGHT

If Tampa Bay wants to contend in the AL East, it will need No. 4 starter Jeff Niemann (4-4, 4.53 ERA) to turn in more performances like his last two.

The Rays are 4-0 in Niemann’s last four starts, including a pair of 5-1 wins over the Cardinals and Yankees in which Niemann allowed a combined two earned runs in over 13 innings of work. He has been a different pitcher since rejoining the Rays rotation on June 20. He had been sidelined with a lower back strain for nearly two months. Before the injury he was 1-4 with a 5.72 ERA. Since returning, he is 3-0 with a 2.74 ERA.

NOTEWORTHY NUMBERS

- Boston is 13-25 in games during the first series following the All-Star break since 2001.

- Boston is 21-6 in its last 26 road games versus a team with a winning record.

- Tampa Bay is 11-6 in the last 17 meetings between the two teams, including 7-4 at home.

- Tampa Bay is 5-2 in its last seven games against Beckett.

- Tampa Bay outfielder Matt Joyce is the only Ray batting over .280. The Red Sox have five players batting over .280, including Adrian Gonzalez (.350), Jacoby Ellsbury (.315) and David Ortiz (.300).

- The Red Sox are 2-0 in Sunday Night Baseball this year, winning two games against the Yankees. This is Tampa Bay’s first Sunday night game.

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

Florida Marlins at Chicago Cubs (-105)

The Marlins have won seven out of eight following Saturday's 13-3 shellacking of the Cubs. In that stretch Florida has scored 49 runs, an average of 6.1 per game.

Mike Stanton belted two homers Saturday, giving him 20, and leadoff hitter Emilio Bonifacio extended his hitting streak to 15 games. Shortstop Hanley Ramirez is 5-for-14 with three doubles and three RBIs since the All-Star break.

Florida seems to play better away from home, where it is 24-23, while Chicago is a horrid 21-28 at the formerly Friendly Confines.

The Marlins are 12-4 in pitcher Chris Volstad's last 16 starts on grass. The Cubs have lost pitcher Randy Wells' last four starts.

Pick: Marlins


St. Louis Cardinals at Cincinnati Reds (-110, 8.5)

When Homer Bailey toes the rubber against the Cardinals, it's usually bad news for Reds fans. Bailey is 1-4 with a 6.03 ERA in seven career starts against St. Louis.

Matt Holliday is 4-for-11 (.364) against Bailey with three RBIs, Albert Pujols is 4-for-13 (.308) with five RBIs, and Colby Rasmus is 4-for-10 (.400).

Cincinnati also has lost Bailey's last five starts.

Cards starter Jaime Garcia, on the other hand, is 5-0 lifetime against Cincinnati with a 3.82 ERA. He allowed one earned run over six innings in an 8-1 victory over the Reds on July 5.

Joey Votto is 1-for-11 (.182) against Garcia, Scott Rolen is 2-for-13 (.154), and Brandon Phillips is 4-for-17 (.235).

Pick: Cardinals

Sunday's six-pack

Odds to win the college football national championship

3-1-- Oklahoma-- 20-8-1 vs spread in last 29 games as home favorite.

4-1-- Alabama-- +31 in turnovers the last two seasons (24-3).

6-1-- LSU-- Play Oregon at JerryWorld in interesting season opener.

7-1-- Oregon-- NCAA's guillotine is hanging over this program's head.

8-1-- Florida State-- 4-1 in last five bowls, scoring average of 36.8 ppg.

11-1-- Nebraska-- 29-12 under Pelini, despite a minus-7 turnover ratio.


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


Sunday's List of 13: Thinking out loud in the desert.........

13) I want to know how many taxi cabs there are in Las Vegas, because I think every one of them was out tonight. Wish one of the drivers would write a book about his/her experiences. Would be good stuff.

12) Friday's crowd for Boston-Tampa Bay game: 25,729. Saturday they drew 32,487, still 10% short of capacity, and that includes lof of Boston fans. The future of the baseball in the Tampa Bay area isn't very bright- these are big games in the AL East/Wild Card race.

11) Rumor has it the Rays were hot after Francisco Rodriguez before the Mets traded him to Milwaukee.

10) No night in a Las Vegas casino is official until you see a guy wearing a Hawaiian shirt and a sombrero. Happens every night.

9) Rumors are out there that the Colorado Rockies are floating their star pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez; how would they justify that to their fans?

8) Baseball's appeal rules for suspensions stinks; David Ortiz can appeal his suspension, and play in these important Tampa Bay games, then drop his appeal when Boston is playing lesser teams. Not good.

7) Tampa Bay outfielder Sam Fuld went to high school with the guy who founded Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg.

6) When Dick Stockton/Tim McCarver work together on Saturday FOX games, they spend way too much time talking about things that went on before 1970. Try to keep it in this century, fellas.

5) Former heavyweight boxing contender Earnie Shavers was signing this weekend at a sports memorabilia shop at Planet Hollywood. I'm not a big boxing guy, but I walked past his table-- he's a very large man, still looks like he could kick someone's butt, and he's in his 60's. .

4) Mark Ellis is 12-24 with 10 RBI at Coors Field this season. In every other stadium, he's hitting .211 with 16 RBI in 242 AB's.

3) How could the Lakers not tell Brian Shaw face-to-face that they were not going to hire him as head coach? Shaw found out by watching TV.

2) Boston's BABC summer team won the Peach Jam in Augusta, Georgia, one of the best summer basketball tournaments. Jaylen Brantley scored 24 points in the finals for BABC, which beat a team from Memphis.

1) Is the NFL going to have a supplemental draft after the new CBA is signed? Where do you think Terrelle Pryor will go? He's going to be an interesting study, because he didn't want to leave college- he left because of all the NCAA problems Ohio State has. He's not NFL-ready yet.
