Saturday's betting tips: Weather changes Bridgestone

Weather to watch

Tournament organizers at the Bridgestone Invitational are shifting Saturday’s schedule in an effort to avoid some messy weather. Meteorologists are predicting muggy conditions and thunderstoms Saturday, so players will tee off in threesomes at the first and 10th tees from 7-9 a.m., instead of at only the first tee in twosomes at 8 a.m.

Who’s hot

MLB: Texas is 11-3 in its last 14 home games.

MLB: Oakland has won seven of its last 10 meetings with Tampa Bay.

CFL: The under is 8-3 in Hamilton’s last 11 games overall.

WNBA: The under is 10-1-1 in San Antonio’s last 12 games.

Who’s not

MLB: Washington is 4-12 in its last 16 games as an underdog.

MLB: The under is 1-11 in the Angels’ last 12 games.

CFL: The over is 3-7 in the last 10 meetings between Hamilton and Calgary.

WNBA: Washington is 2-8 against the spread in its last 10 home games.

Key stat

69.1 – The Tulsa Shock are easily the worst team in the WNBA and it isn’t tough to see where the problem lies. The Shock are averaging just 69.1 points per game and are the only team in the league to sit below the 70-point per game average.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Chipper Jones, Atlanta Braves – Many thought Jones (quad) would be back in the lineup Friday night after taking fielding drills earlier in the day, but he remained on the bench, so his status for the weekend is still up in the air. The veteran third baseman is hitting .258 with nine homers and 47 RBIs this season.

Game of the day

Philadelphia Phillies at San Francisco Giants (+115, 6.5)

Notable quotable

”I know my stats don’t show it, but just the way I’m driving the golf ball, the start lines are so much tighter, and the shape of the shots are so much tighter. I’m so close to putting the ball on a string, so it’s coming.” – Tiger Woods after shooting a 1-over 71 in the second round at the Bridgestone International. Woods, who also said he’s playing completely pain free, heads into Saturday’s action well off the pace. Adam Scott, Rickie Fowler, Keegan Bradley, and Ryan Moore are tied for the lead at 8-under.

Notes and tips

Home field hasn’t been friendly to the Calgary Stampeders so far this season. The Stamps are 0-2 both straight up and against the spread at McMahon Stadium heading into Saturday’s home date with Hamilton, but have won all three of their road games (2-1 ATS). "I thought it was no place like home," Calgary quarterback Henry Burris told reporters, "For us, it's been there's no place like the road. We need to turn that around.”

The Los Angeles Angels have pulled struggling veteran Joel Pineiro from the starting rotation. He’s working on a 5.31 ERA over 18 starts and will likely serve as a long reliever in the bullpen at least for the time being. The club doesn’t expect to name a replacement in the No. 5 spot in the rotation until early next week.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Calgary Stampeders (-3.5, 50.5)

The Tiger-Cats are on a three-game winning streak after beating the Alouettes, but they struggled to win in Calgary recently, like so many teams. The Stampeders have won eight of their last 10 games at home against Hamilton.

Although the Stampeders offense hasn’t been as devastating as it was in the first five games of 2010 (117 points compared to 140), this is a team that has dominated the fourth quarter this season.

All five games played by Calgary so far were decided by five points or less. The last time the Stampeders played that many close games was in 2001, when they went on sequence of seven games decided by seven points or less.

On Hamilton’s side, Kevin Glenn has been playing better after two tough games to start the season, connecting on just over 61 percent of his pass attempts, and hasn’t been intercepted once in his last three games. But keep in mind that the Tiger-Cats have not won at McMahon Stadium since 2005.

Pick: Calgary

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

New York Liberty at Washington Mystics (4, 147)

The last time these two teams hooked up, the Liberty needed a come-from-behind effort to get the better of the bottom-feeding Mystics. They outscored Washington 22-15 in the fourth quarter and clamped down defensively to come away with the victory, but couldn’t cover as 9-point home favorites.

“I was so proud of my team,” Liberty coach John Whisenant said after the game. “All the effort, all the screw-ups you may have had before then comes down to if you can play defense in those last two minutes.”

The Liberty have played three times since that game, going 2-1 both straight up and against the spread. Washington, meanwhile, dropped another close one in its only game since their last meeting – a 61-59 defeat .

The Mystics have been better protecting their own bucket lately and have played under the total in three straight games. That goes along nicely with the fact that New York has checked under its totals in four consecutive contests and seven of the last eight.

Pick: Under


Tulsa Shock at San Antonio Silver Stars (-13.5, 151.5)

Cover your eyes, kids – this one could get ugly.

The Shock head into Saturday’s tilt having lost their last 12 games and they’ve covered only three times over that span.

The talent just isn’t there and no matter what the team tries to do with its game plans, it still seems to be battling just to avoid blowouts on a nightly basis.

Same story in the Shock’s latest loss – a 89-72 loss to the Seattle Storm as 7-point underdogs.

"If we get down and keep fighting, that takes all of our energy by the time we get to the fourth quarter," point guard Ivory Latta told reporters. "That's sometimes why we don't have a good fourth quarter. We fight so hard in the third just to cut it within 10 or something and we're all pretty much laid out."

Seattle pumped them 27-17 in the final frame and we may see a replay of that Saturday considering San Antonio’s depth.

Pick: Silver Stars

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

Streaking

Justin Verlander, Detroit Tigers (15-5, 2.24 ERA)

If the Tigers can keep rolling in the American League Central, there is more than Cy Young buzz surrounding Verlander. The right hander is getting some AL MVP chatter, and his last three starts are more evidence that he deserves the consideration. Verlander is 3-0 with a 1.88 ERA during that span. In his most recent start, he went eight shutout innings, allowing only one hit and striking out nine batters.

Joe Saunders, Arizona Diamondbacks (8-8, 3.56 ERA)

The Diamondbacks won’t leave the Giants alone in the National League West, and Saunders is a big part of this late-season push. Arizona’s lefty is 2-0 with a 1.90 ERA in his last three outings and, going back to June 15, he’s 5-2 with an ERA just over 2.00. Saunders took down the Dodgers in his most recent start, giving up only two runs on eight hits over 7 2-3 innings of work.

Slumping


Cory Luebke, San Diego Padres (3-6, 3.21 ERA)

Luebke has struggled since making the move to the starting rotation. He’s winless in his last three outings, touting a 5.40 ERA during that span. A lack of run support has spoiled a few of his good efforts, but even offense wouldn’t bail Luebke out in his most recent performance. He gave up five runs on 10 hits over 7 1-3 innings versus the Dodgers.

Carl Pavano, Minnesota Twins (6-8, 4.90 ERA)

It was a coin toss on who to feature in this slumping spot between Pavano and Chicago’s Jake Peavy, who the Twins will go against Saturday. Pavano’s last two starts have been disastrous, dropping his record to 0-2 with a 12.00 ERA in his last three outings. After allowing eight runs over five inning versus the Rangers, the Twins righty served up seven earned runs on nine hits in just two innings against the Athletics Sunday.

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

Chicago White Sox at Minnesota Twins (+105, 8.5)

It was unfair of the Windy City’s South Siders to expect so much from Jake Peavy when he was just coming off injury, but now that he looks like he might be coming around a bit, the White Sox are only going to be looking for more from him.

Peavy threw seven solid innings in dropping a 3-2 pitching duel with New York’s CC Sabathia the last time he toed the rubber. The veteran fired 115 pitches and looked a lot like the Jake Peavy we’re used to seeing on the hill.

"I tried to pace myself and felt a little bit better going deeper in the ballgame," Peavy told reporters. "That's a great sign for me. I'm excited."

Now, if only Ozzie Guillen would start treating him like a guy who’s still trying to get over shoulder surgery. Guillen said the other day that he doesn’t even consider taking Peavy out before he hits 100 pitches and still considers the vet his ace.

He may not be what he was, but we like what we saw from him against the Yanks.

Pick: White Sox


Cincinnati Reds at Chicago Cubs (+125, N/A)

In typical Cubs fashion, the club has put together its longest winning streak of the year long after the season is lost – again.

Chicago won its sixth straight game Friday, downing the Reds 4-3 to improve to just 26-31 at Wrigley Field. The Cubs had dropped three at Milwaukee and two at St. Louis before sweeping the Pirates before welcoming in the Reds for this weekend series against Cincinnati.

“It was a good finish (against the Pirates),” manager Mike Quade told reporters. “This game will drive you nuts. You roll into Milwaukee and struggle to score runs. Then the craziness in St. Louis and then we put it together.”

It’ll be tough to keep it going Saturday though. Carlos Zambrano has been pretty solid lately, but you get the feeling he’s on the brink of another meltdown start any day now. Plus, Johnny Cueto’s on the hill for the Reds and he’s been just about unhittable lately.

Cueto is coming off a complete-game shutout of the Giants and he blanked the Mets over five innings in taking a hard-luck loss before that.

Pick: Reds

Saturday's six-pack

-- Former Clemson QB Kyle Parker is hitting .281 with 18 HRs, 81 RBI in his first full season of pro baseball- thats pretty good. He's with the Asheville Tourists, a farm club of the Rockies.

-- Phillies are 21-3 this year when Brian Schneider is starting catcher.

-- Giants would be better off defensively with Schierholz in right and Beltran in left; Beltran doesn't charge balls as aggressively or have as strong a throwing arm as Schierholz does.

-- Ubaldo Jimenez allowed five runs in five IP at Texas Friday, tossing 108 pitches while allowing seven hits, three walks. Still, Indians led by a couple runs in the 9th before blowing lead and losing 8-7 in 11th.

-- Pirates are 0-5 this week against the Cubs and Padres. Splat.

-- Typical Phil Mickelson Friday; he chips in from the fairway for an eagle on the 11th hole, then double bogeys the 12th. Very talented, but also very frustrating.


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


Saturday's List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind......

13) Justin Verlander has taken a no-hitter into the sixth inning four times this year. He makes Detroit a tough opponent in a short playoff series.

12) NFL regular season ends with 16 games on New Year’s Day, with all 16 of them divisional rivalry games. 10 of the 16 games in Week 16 are also division games.

11) Over last four college basketball seasons, Tennessee/Gonzaga have played hardest non-conference schedules. Vols get Duke in first round of Maui Classic in November, but would expect their schedules to get toned down some now that Bruce Pearl is gone.

10) Couple of good nuggets from the Elias Sports Bureau; after Dan Uggla extended his hitting streak to 25 games Wednesday, his batting average was still just .215, or 50 points lower than anyone’s average in the last 100 years who had just hit in 25 straight games.

9) Cleveland’s Jason Kipnis is the first player in 42 years to homer in four consecutive games, when those four games were within the player’s first 10 in the major league.

8) This fact reflects what baseball has become: Over the last decade, ESPN’s ratings for Sunday night Bronx-Boston games are 81.7% higher than all their other Sunday night games. All the casual fan cares about are the money teams.

7) If I’m running the Mets, I try to blow away Jose Reyes’ agent with an offer that would get the shortstop signed before Labor Day. You’d recoup some of the money with increased attendance in September, and a lot of it with season ticket sales for 2012. If you let Reyes test the free agent waters, Washington/Boston are going to provide stiff competition for the shortstop’s services.

6) Major red flag in the Bronx: Twice in the last 14 days Bronx Bombers have scored 12+ runs in the first three innings of a game their but starting pitcher didn’t get the win, because he couldn’t finish the 5th inning. Its generally a lot harder to win playoff games by outslugging the other side.

5) As I type this, Florida Marlins are 55-57; from May 29-June 28, they went 4-25. Take away that skid (I know you can’t but if you did), and Fish are on a pace to win 100 games. The switch to 80-year old Jack McKeon has worked well. Calendar may say he’s 80, but his mind is way younger than that.

4) Kids prefer summer basketball over high school ball because in the summer, all they do is play games; in school ball, there’s a lot more practice time and fewer games. Games are fun; practice can be hard work. An AAU team from Boston actually played 83 games this spring/ summer; that’s more than an NBA regular season.

3) November’s Maui Classic is loaded this year; first round matchups are: Michigan-Memphis, Duke-Tennessee, Kansas-Georgetown and UCLA-Chaminade.

2) There are six football teams in the SEC West; five of them are ranked in the preseason top 20. There are eight Big East teams; none of them are in the top 25.

1) Not sure why they did it, but thought it was refreshing of MTV to let their 30th birthday slide by without a lot of fanfare. Think ESPN would ever do something like that?
