Tuesday’s betting tips: Rangers favored to extend streak

Who’s hot

MLB: Florida has won nine of its last 10.

MLB: Boston has won 24 of its last 32 road games.

WNBA: Chicago has covered in six of its last eight home games.

Who’s not

MLB: Seattle has dropped nine straight games overall.

MLB: Kansas City has won just five of its last 18 home games.

WNBA: Atlanta is 1-7-1 against the spread in its last nine contests.

Key stat

11 – The Texas Rangers have recorded 11 straight victories heading into Tuesday’s road date with the Los Angeles Angels, tying the franchise’s second longest winning streak. The Rangers are set as a -130 favorite with Alexi Ogando on the hill. Ogando has won two straight and is looking for his 10th win of the season.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Sancho Lyttle, Atlanta Dream – Lyttle has missed about a month with a back injury but may play Tuesday against Indiana. Lyttle was averaging 12.5 points and 7.8 rebounds per game before hitting the shelf and the Dream are really missing her inside presence. Atlanta is currently set as a 2-point home underdog against Indiana.

Game of the day

Texas Rangers at Los Angeles Angels (+120, 7.5)

Notable quotable

"It's definitely something we've talked about (falling behind). We know we have to fix it. We can't go into those lulls because it gives teams opportunities to get big leads on us. Even though we do come back, it's a lot of energy to do that and then sometimes it's difficult to get over the hump, tying it or taking the lead." – Seattle Storm point guard Sue Bird on losing consecutive games heading into Tuesday’s contest against Chicago as 3-point road underdogs.

Notes and tips

New York Mets superstar Jose Reyes (hamstring) successfully got through a rehab start with Class-A Brooklyn over the weekend and could suit up with the big league club as soon as Tuesday. Mets manager Terry Collins expected Reyes just to play the one game in the minors and he looked good going 1-for-3 with a run scored. "I feel very good," the shortstop told reporters. "I'm happy that I don't feel anything in my leg, so I was able to test it out with no problems, so that's a good sign."

After being bombarded with questions about possible trades over the past few days, Chicago Cubs slugger Aramis Ramirez put the rumors to rest Monday saying that he won’t waive his no-trade clause. Ramirez will be a free agent in the offseason and is hitting .300 with 16 homers and 56 RBIs so far this season.

Tuesday's six-pack

Some tidbits from Sunday night's 16-inning marathon between Boston and Tampa Bay, which the Red Sox won 1-0.

-- Dustin Pedroia was 3-7 Sunday, rest of the Red Sox were 2-45.

-- Tampa Bay's bullpen walked 10 guys in eight innings but only gave up one run, which has to be some kind of a record.

-- Couple of arguments in 11th inning, with Rays losing manager Joe Maddon and bench coach Dave Martinez; Rays also threw at Red Sox shortstop Marco Scutaro. This may continue down the road.

-- Game lasted 5:44, second-longest game in majors this season; a May game with Reds-Phillies, when Wilson Valdez was winning pitcher, is longest game so far this season.

-- In his last two starts against Tampa Bay, Josh Beckett has thrown 17 innings, allowing no runs on three hits.

-- Crowd of 21,504 was really poor for a game between contenders.


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


Tuesday's List of 13: Random thoughts as I head home.........

13) Restaurant recommendation for Las Vegas: Didn't make it to the place I loved in April, Battista's, but did go to Maggiano's in the Fashion Show **** Sunday night and was pleasantly surprised. Great food, reasonable prices and two guys walking around playing music to each table, one with a guitar, the other with a violin. Excellent place.

12) Memo to TV baseball guys: When someone hits a long fly ball, very important to being able to see the outfielder- thats what tells us whether the ball can be caught or not. Just showing the ball doesn't help.

11) As much money as ESPN sinks into their coverage of baseball, hard to fathom how Karl Ravech has such a prominent role in their coverage. He just isn't very good, either on play-by-play or in the studio.

10) Jose Reyes played six innings in a NY-Penn League game Monday, and will be activated for Tuesday's game against Florida. David Wright is on a rehab assignment in the low minors and should be back soon, but it could be that Carlos Beltran has played his last game for the Mets.

9) Robinson Chirinos got called up to Tampa Bay Monday, got to the ballpark at 6pm and was the starting catcher at 7:10; at 7:45, he got his first major league hit. Had to be a whirlwind day for him.

8) Power lines near Tropicana Field got hit by lightning around 8:45, and there was a 15-20 minute delay in the Bronx-Tampa Bay game. Tired of hearing network announcers bash the Trop; its not perfect, but having been there, its OK. Every stadium can't be a billion dollar palace. Would be nice if they could get a retractable dome built, but the economy says at this point that it ain't going to happen anytime soon.

7) After the power outage, Bronx had runners on 2nd/3rd and two out in top of 5th inning; rookie pitcher Cobb apparently forgot there were guys on base, and started to pitch from the windup, but was stopped before he screwed up. Cobb escaped the jam; he looks like a good prospect.

6) Giants entered Monday night's game with 59 stolen bases; last year, when they won the World Series, San Francisco stole only 55 bags.

5) Roy Halladay left Monday night's game after only 69 pitches- Phillies are saying it was heat-related. Guess its been toasty in the Midwest.

4) Casey Kotchman's dad Tom managed his 3,000th minor league game last week; he is considered an excellent teacher of the game.

3) Brutal 24 hours for the Rays, who lost 1-0 in 16 innings Sunday, then blew a lead late Monday against the Bronx Bombers; they're overmatched against the bigger-money teams. Their 2011 season is pretty much done.

2) Tuesday is July 19th, the first day this baseball season when all 25 guys on my fantasy baseball team are off the DL. About damn time.

1) This was my 7th trip to Las Vegas in the last two years; had lot of fun, this is a great place to visit, but now its time to head home and enjoy the rest of summer and get ready for football season. I have met great people here over the last couple years; looking forward to my next visit.

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

Seattle Storm at Chicago Sky (-3, 143.5)

If the Chicago Sky could get anything done on the road, they’d be in the mix for one of the top spots in the Eastern Conference. The reality is, they’re 1-6 away from home and still head into Tuesday’s game just a game under .500 outright and at 8-7 against the spread.

At home, they’re a completely different team at 6-1 straight up and 5-2 against the number. Turnovers are at the root of the problem as the club gives the ball away 18.5 times per game – worst in the league. The Sky was in its last game until the end, but couldn’t get over the hump in the fourth quarter thanks to some more untimely turnovers.

"We're leading the league in turnovers and those are points you end up missing," forward Michelle Snow told reporters. "With those additional points, it could've been a different game."

The problem is, they’re up against the league’s best scoring defense in this one and the Storm haven’t lost four games in a row since 2009. They’ll be hungry.

Pick: Storm


New York Liberty at Connecticut Sun (-5, 153.5)

New York Liberty bettors may have Cappie Pondexter’s grandmother to thank for their latest payday.

Following New York’s recent loss to Connecticut, her grandmother told her to start being more aggressive. Pondexter promptly led the team with 18 points on 6-of-11 shooting before taking a seat in the fourth quarter of an 88-57 blowout of Tulsa.

“It was kind of funny hearing her say that,” Pondexter told reporters. “You’re going, and all of a sudden you hear this little old lady tell you something about the game of basketball. It’s like, ‘Okay, let me listen to her.’?”

The Liberty will be in good shape if she can keep rolling with that mentality. New York is riding a nice 8-1-1 run against the spread here and this is a winnable game for this team on the road.

Pick: Liberty

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

Streaking

Ubaldo Jimenez (5-8, 4.08 ERA), Colorado Rockies

If the Colorado Rockies really intend to move Jimenez before the trade deadline, they have to love how good he’s looked lately. Jimenez was a little shaky early in his last start and gave up a couple of runs before settling down to keep the Brewers off the board the rest of the way.

He is working on a 2.79 ERA over his last three trips to the hill and has allowed just one homer in his last six outings.

Alexi Ogando (9-3, 2.92 ERA), Texas Rangers

Ogando hasn’t been as untouchable recently as he was earlier in the year, but his numbers speak for themselves. He won his last two starts before the All-Star break and was lights-out in a brief appearance in the Midsummer Classic.

Ogando has allowed more than three runs just once in his last seven outings and has already beaten the Angels once this season.


Slumping

Kyle Lohse (8-6, 3.32 ERA), St. Louis Cardinals

July hasn’t been good to Lohse. After putting together a solid start to the year, he was hammered in both of his starts this month, going 0-2 with an 8.25 ERA.

Lohse allowed seven earned runs over 6 2/3 innings in a loss to Arizona the last time he took the hill and he has only one win on his record since the end of May.

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

Jake Peavy isn’t back to 100 percent after his shoulder injury and he knows he’s going to have to change his approach to be successful for the rest of the season. He was drilled for 10 hits and five earned runs over 4 1/3 innings in his last start and gave up five runs in six innings in the outing before that.

‘‘The last few starts was a grind physically,” Peavy told reporters after the team pushed his turn in the rotation from Sunday to Tuesday. ‘‘I don’t think that was any secret if you watched. I’m looking forward to getting pushed back and getting back on my feet.’’

Rounding the bases: MLB best betting trends
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Every week, we update you on who's hot, who's not and situational betting spots in Major League Baseball.

HOT TEAM: TEXAS RANGERS

THIS SEASON: 55-41
LAST WEEK: 4-0

THIS WEEK'S SCHEDULE: At the Angels for three, home to the Blue Jays for three.

THE SKINNY: We try to spread the wealth around here, but you can’t ignore a hand when it’s as hot as the Rangers. Texas showed absolutely no post-All-Star-break blues, as they extended their winning streak to 11 games. What seemed like a good race between Anaheim and Texas now sees a four-game differential as they prepare to battle, and the Angels might just need to take two games here just to stay in it.

The numbers are great in Texas no matter where you look. Three pitchers with at least nine wins -- C.J. Wilson (10), Colby Lewis (9), and Alexi Ogando (9) -- two pitchers with a sub-3.00 ERA -- Matt Harrison (2.91) and Ogando (2.92) -- and two with at least 100 strikeouts -- Wilson (124) and Lewis (104).
Offensively, the wealth is spread around as Michael Young is hitting .321, Nelson Cruz has 21 homers, and Adrian Beltre has 72 RBIs. And just wait for Josh Hamilton to really find his second-half groove. It’s shaping up to be another scorching summer in Arlington.

COLD TEAM: SEATTLE MARINERS

THIS SEASON: 43-52
LAST WEEK: 0-4

THIS WEEK'S SCHEDULE: At the Blue Jays for three, at the Red Sox for three.

THE SKINNY: The patchwork Mariners were humming right along at sea level for a while there. Without much offense, especially playing home games in a pitcher’s park, many considered Seattle a surprise to be flirting with the .500 mark through June. But July has been a disaster, as the Mariners have won just four games, and take a nine-game losing streak into Tuesday’s series opener in Toronto.

When the Mariners hit these skids, the same theory usually applies: There’s just not enough bats, and this summer is no different. Even the great Ichiro Suzuki is hitting just .262, which happens to lead the team among regulars. Justin Smoak, the principle piece in the Mariners’ deal to Texas last summer involving Cliff Lee, is breaking out with 12 home runs and 43 RBIs.

But when Miguel Olivo (40) and Adam Kennedy (30) round out your top three in the runs-driven-in category, you’re in trouble, which is exactly what Seattle is.

OVER TEAM: PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES

O/U THIS SEASON: 43-43-8
O/U LAST WEEK: 3-0

THIS WEEK'S SCHEDULE: At the Cubs for three, home to the Padres for four.

THE SKINNY: Just goes to show you that in the marathon that is a Major League Baseball season, everything comes around. The Phillies, with their short-handed offense and unbelievable starting pitching, seemed like perhaps one of the best under bets in history back in April.

But with pitcher Roy Oswalt on the disabled list, and manager Charlie Manuel mixing and matching to give some of his All-Star starters some rest, Philadelphia has gained some value as on over team.

The Phillies, in fact, took a four-game over streak into Monday’s series opener at Wrigley Field, and the way the Cubs are giving up runs these days, a few more overs may be in store before the Phillies head home this weekend. The loss of Placido Polanco and Shane Victorino to the disabled list did not stop Philadelphia from scoring 17 runs over the weekend at the Mets. And in that four-game over stretch, they plated 31.

Ryan Howard, with 18 homers and 73 RBIs through Sunday, is back to his old self, and Raul Ibanez (13 homers) is also showing some late life in his bat. Be careful this weekend, though, as the anemic Padres hit Philadelphia, and the Phillies are scheduled to throw Cole Hamels in the opener, and Roy Halladay in the third game.

UNDER TEAM: ST. LOUIS CARDINALS

O/U THIS SEASON: 52-40-3
O/U LAST WEEK: 1-2

THIS WEEK'S SCHEDULE: At the Mets for three, at the Pirates for three.

THE SKINNY: The numbers say take the over when St. Louis takes the field, but the Cardinals have been light on offense of late, and they bear watching as an under team as the dog days of summer approach.

They scored just 10 runs in a three-gamer vs. Cincinnati over the weekend, and have scored three or fewer six times in July as they prepare to open a series with New York on Tuesday.

Again, with the names they have -- Lance Berkman, Matt Holliday, and Albert Pujols -- St. Louis screams out as an over team. But they’re not getting it done, and as the games get a little more serious in the NL Central -- with Milwaukee and Pittsburgh appearing like they’re going to hang around through the summer -- you might grab some serious value going the other way with the Cardinals.

And the pitching figures to be there, so that will help, too. The Cardinals have three pitchers, in fact, with ERAs under 4.00: Jaime Garcia (3.11), Kyle Lohse (3.32), and Chris Carpenter (3.69).

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

Cleveland Indians at Minnesota Twins (-115, 8)

A simple turn around first base on Sunday may have completely changed the Cleveland Indians’ season.

Grady Sizemore felt the same sort of pain in his knee that kept him out of action for 10 months when he made the turn after a base hit and is now on the DL again. The team won’t know the extent of the injury until test results get back, but it doesn’t look good.

"There's a lot of concern," Sizemore said at Target Field on Monday morning. "I just hope I don't have to go through what I went through last year."

Meanwhile, now the Indians need to figure out what to do without Sizemore and Shin-Soo Choo (who’s likely out until September) with less than two weeks to work with before the trade deadline.

The Indians might be good fade bait for the next few days until they get a game plan together.

Pick: Twins


Seattle Mariners at Toronto Blue Jays (-108, 8)

While the Blue Jays earned a split in their series against the New York Yankees, there were a lot of insinuations that they “could” be guilty of stealing signs.

"Sometimes we have inclinations that things might be happening in certain ballparks and we're aware of it, and we try to protect ourselves," Yanks manager Joe Girardi told reporters. "The last thing you want is for a hitter to know what's coming."

There have been rumors about the Jays being great at stealing signs since the days when Paul Molitor and Joe Carter were swinging their big bats, so this shouldn’t be shocking. They're just good at what they do.

At any rate, the Jays are hitting .261 and averaging 4.96 runs per game at home. However, they should have their hands full with Michael Pineda, who bounced back with a great performance at the All-Star Game.

Pick: Under
