Sunday's betting tips: Minor in, Jurrjens out

Weather to watch

The forecast for Sunday’s final round of the Bridgestone Invitational in Akron, Ohio, calls for temperatures in the low 80s, with a 20 percent chance of rain and 11-mph westerly winds.

Who’s hot

MLB: The Royals are 8-2 in Bruce Chen’s last 10 home starts.

MLB: The Under is 10-1-2 in the White Sox’s last 13 games vs. a lefty starter.

WNBA: Connecticut is 7-1 ATS in its last eight games.

Who’s not

MLB: The Over is 5-12 in umpire D.J. Reyburn’s last 17 games behind the plate. He’s calling Cleveland-Texas on Sunday.

MLB: The Orioles are 3-12 in their last 15 games with a total set between 7.0 and 8.5.

WNBA: Chicago is 0-5 ATS in its last five games against the Eastern Conference.

Key stat

8 – That’s how many 1,000-yard receiving seasons Derrick Mason has posted. The 15-year vet joined the Jets on Saturday, joining a wideout corps that already includes Santonio Holmes and Plaxico Burress.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Marlins shortstop Hanley Ramirez (.243, 10 HR, 45 RBIs) missed his third straight game Saturday with a sprained shoulder he suffered while diving for a pop fly on Tuesday. He has a chance to play Sunday, so check the lineups.

Game of the day

New York Yankees at Boston Red Sox (-165, 9)

Notable quotable

“Actually, I’m a little surprised [about] how I performed out there.” – Nineteen-year-old Ryo Ishikawa, after shooting a 6-under-64 to pull within one shot of leader Adam Scott at the Bridgestone Invitational.

Notes and tips

Adam Scott (+250) is a slight favorite over Jason Day (+300) to capture the Bridgestone Invitational on Sunday, according to BetOnline.com. Scott (-12) leads Day (-11) and Ryo Ishikawa (-11) by one stroke. Ishikawa, just 19 years old, is set at +700, along with Martin Laird (-12) and Luke Donald (-9). Ten golfers are within five shots of Scott.

Braves ace Jair Jurrjens went on the DL Saturday with a right knee strain after struggling in four starts since the All-Star break. The team called up Mike Minor to start Sunday against the Mets, and said Jurrjens likely will miss only two starts. Jurrjens, who had the same knee surgically repaired last October. went into the All-Star break leading the NL with a 1.87 ERA. Since then he’s posted a 6.26 ERA.

Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips is day to day after spraining his ankle in an outfield collision Saturday. Phillips is hitting .287 with 10 homers, 62 RBIs, 26 doubles and 62 runs scored, and slumping Cincy desperately needs him to get back in the NL Central race.

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

Seattle Storm at Atlanta Dream (-3, 155)

A bit of payback is in store in Sunday’s WNBA action, as the Atlanta Dream face the Seattle Storm for the first time since losing to their Western Conference foes in last summer’s WNBA Finals.

Seattle edged Atlanta, sweeping the Dream in three straight games by an average margin of less than three points. However, both teams look different than their 2010 incarnations, with injuries plaguing their rosters.

The Storm are without MVP center Lauren Jackson, who averaged over 22 points and eight rebounds against Atlanta in the postseason. The Dream are battling to get back to .500, with point guard Shalee Lehning out for the year and standout Angel McCoughtry still playing on a tender knee that bothered her to start the year.

"They're still always going to be a good team, with their veteran leadership," McCoughtry told ESPN about Seattle. "Right now, we're just trying to string together enough wins to make the playoffs. We're not worrying about what happens then; we just have to secure that playoff spot and go from there."

The Storm have been on a role lately, winning three straight games and five of their last six – posting a 4-2 mark ATS. Atlanta has dropped back-to-back contests after stringing together five wins in a row in July.

"Right now, I think we're still good, even in the position we're in. We still have the potential to improve,” said McCoughtry. “Anybody can get hurt any time; that's sports. You have to enjoy every opportunity and don't take it for granted. I know Shalee wants to be playing right now, but she can't. So let me go out and give it my all."

Pick: Atlanta


Minnesota Lynx at Los Angeles Sparks (+6, 158)

The Minnesota Lynx continue to put space between them and the rest of the Western Conference. They’ve won eight games in a row, boasting a 6-2 ATS record in that stretch.

Next on the list for the Lynx are the Los Angeles Sparks, who were dropped by Minnesota 85-72 back on July 26. The Lynx managed to cover as 9-point home favorites in that contest, holding L.A. to just 30 points in the first half.

“We haven’t done anything yet. We’ve won some games but we haven’t accomplished anything. Nobody is going to give us a trophy for being first in the middle of the season,” forward Rebekkah Brunson told reporters. “We have to keep going and continue to win and get better and put us into the best position going into the playoffs. We haven’t done anything yet. We still have a lot to do and a lot of areas where we can get better.”

Minnesota used to get dominated by the Sparks, going 0-8 until winning both meetings this season. That one-sided record will keep the top team in the league focused against a Sparks squad that's on a 1-6 skid.

Pick: Minnesota

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

Streaking

Clayton Kershaw, Los Angeles Dodgers (13-4, 2.68 ERA)

Kershaw has won five straight starts and has only one loss in his past 17 trips to the mound, dating way back to the beginning of May. He’s given up only two earned runs during this recent winning streak, with 39 strikeouts and nine walks.

Ervin Santana, Los Angeles Angels (7-8, 3.32 ERA)

Something about the L.A. sunshine makes for great pitching. Santana has won three straight games, including his no-hitter against the Indians at the end of July. During this span, the lefthander has posted a 0.70 ERA, 18 strikeouts and just four base-on-balls.


Slumping

Kevin Correia, Pittsburgh Pirates (12-9, 4.71 ERA)

He has been shellacked in two of his last three starts. In that span he's given up 16 earned runs in 13 innings, including six homers. Correia has been terrible since he started the season 5-2.

David Price, Tampa Bay Rays (9-10, 3.77 ERA)

The price isn’t right for the Rays' southpaw starter. Price is 0-3 with a 4.05 ERA over his last three outings. He hasn’t pitched too poorly in that span, and has received only one run of support over those appearances. He’s been a tough bet at home too, going 4-6 with a 3.35 ERA inside Tropicana Field.

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

New York Yankees at Boston Red Sox (-165, 9)

A made-for-TV showdown is on tap for Sunday Night Baseball. The two best teams in the American League, the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox, close out their three-game series at Fenway Park.

BEASTS OF THE EAST

The Yankees and Red Sox own the two best records in the American League, and are just behind the Philadelphia Phillies in the overall standings. Both are 69-43 and atop the AL East after the Bronx Bombers won Friday and the Sox answered Saturday. The Red Sox are actually far superior in divisional play, with a 29-13 mark to New York's 23-19.

BRONX AND BOSTON BOMBERS

No team has hit more home runs this season than the New York Yankees, who lead everyone with 147 round trippers. Right behind the Yankees, in terms of home run tally, is Boston with 137 dingers. Both teams' power is pretty balanced as each squad has six players with double-digit home runs, led by Boston’s David Ortiz (21) and New York’s Curtis Granderson (28) and Mark Teixeira (32).

BOSTON TEE-OFF PARTY

While the Yankees lead baseball in home runs, the Red Sox lead the majors in the three other big categories: Runs per game (5.44), batting average (.279) and OPS (.808).

YANKEE DADDY

New York’s 3-2 win in Fenway Park Friday night snapped a seven-game losing streak to Boston. Between these rivals, one series sweep is considered a big deal, so you can imagine how a seven-game losing skid felt to the Yankees. Boston owns a 9-2 advantage in the season series after winning 10-4 on Saturday.

I LOVE NEW YORK

Speaking of owning the Yankees, there’s no truth to the rumors that Josh Beckett wears an “I Love New York” shirt under his jersey when he faces the pinstripes. But, he does love pitching against the Big Apple's team.

Beckett has dominated New York this season, winning all three of his starts while yielding two earned runs in 21 innings. Beckett has struck out 25 Yankees in 21 innings while walking five.

WRONG SAID FRED

New York starter Freddy Garcia has won his last three starts and five of his last six decisions, but can’t be excited about facing Boston again. In three meetings against the BoSox this season, Garcia has an ERA over 9.00. In his last start versus Boston, Garcia didn’t even get out of the second inning.

NOTEWORTHY NUMBERS

- Josh Beckett has a 0.52 ERA against the Yankees this season.

- Including last season, Beckett is 4-0 in his last four starts against New York.

- Red Sox are 36-15 in their last 51 series finales of three-game sets.

- Yankees are 4-0 in Garcia’s last four starts vs. a team with a winning record.

- Over is 36-15-1 in last 51 meetings between these two teams in Boston.

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

Cincinnati Reds at Chicago Cubs (-101, NA)

The Cubs, yes the Cubs, have won seven straight after Saturday’s 11-4 victory. They haven’t done that since August 2008.

Starlin Castro drove in four runs Saturday and has an NL-best 148 hits. Alfonso Soriano was on base four times, and Reed Johnson singled, doubled and scored three runs. It only took the Cubs falling 23 games under .500 for them to wake up.

Chicago goes for the sweep behind Randy Wells, who’s 2-1 with a 3.50 ERA over his last three starts.

The reeling Reds send out Bronson Arroyo. Opponents are hitting .294 against Arroyo, and only once in his last seven starts has he allowed less than four earned runs. He has two quality starts since June 8.

Pick: Cubs


Philadelphia Phillies at San Francisco Giants (-137, 6.5)

The red-hot Phillies have won a season-high nine in a row following Saturday’s 2-1 win at AT&T Park.

But everything has to end sometime, and Sunday’s matchup favors the Giants in a big way.

Philly’s Roy Oswalt (lower back inflammation) is coming off the DL and making his first major-league appearance since June 24.

Meanwhile, San Fran ace Tim Lincecum has given up a total of five runs in his last five starts. Batters are hitting .216 against him, and he’s struck out 160 in 149 1/3 innings.

In eight career starts against the Phils, Lincecum is 3-1 with a 2.82 ERA. Look for the Giants to salvage one game in this heated series.

Pick: Giants

Sunday's six-pack

-- If you've never been to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, OH, you should go sometime. Its really an underrated place.

-- My next visit will be in 2014, when Kurt Warner gets inducted, and he will get elected on his first try.

-- Pirates are 0-6 vs Cubs/Padres this week, giving up a ridiculous 28 runs to woeful San Diego the last two nights.

-- Pirates are back to losing on the field but they're still winning at the box office; Friday night was their 13th sellout this season.

-- Our prayers go out to Colorado pitcher Juan Nicasio, who broke the C-1 vertebrae in his neck when he was hit by a line drive Friday night.

-- CC Sabathia is 0-4, 7.20 vs Boston this season, 16-2, 2.11 against all the other teams.


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


Sunday's List of 13: Things I've (re-)learned so far this summer

13) I read a great article written by Joe Posnanski of Sports Illustrated that included a quote from Hall of Fame catcher Buck O’Neil, about how being happy is a constant effort, something you have to strive for every day, not something we’re simply entitled to. I had never thought of it that way before and now I try to think of that article every day.

12) Try to read a lot about basketball recruiting in July; wind up finding several articles with coaches complaining about what a drain it is on their family life, being away for a week or two every summer. Hey fellas, anytime you want to trade jobs, give me a shout. For five years I sat in the gyms at Disney watching those same games 12-14 hours a day, not because it was my job, but because I like it. If you’re getting paid six figures to do it, so much the better.

11) Don’t think the American public is going to miss the NBA too much when they’re out of work in late October. All this talk about guys going over to play in Turkey? Hey guys, Turkey borders Iraq- Americans ain’t too popular over there these days.

10) I know its his job and all, but Roger Goodell did well getting football back without missing any real activity. Maybe the NFL will find out they should just shut down from the Super Bowl until the Draft, then pick up again. Whatever happens this season is going to influence how people look at the offseason programs in the future.

9) Good things come to people who wait; I’m glad Bert Blyleven got inducted into the Hall of Fame.

8) At McCarron Airport in Las Vegas, they check you in outside for departing flights, right on the curb. The guy who checked my luggage said he liked working outside (he is out of the sun). Still, it was very weird checking a bag at 4:30am.

7) People love fireworks. Seriously. Thousands of people will go to a fireworks show. People will pull off to the side of the road to watch fireworks, even if it screws up traffic. Amazing.

6) People were stressing out about the possibility of there being no NFL this fall. Not just fans, but people who depend of the NFL for extra money in the fall; bartenders, waitresses. Glad they won’t get hurt by a senseless work stoppage.

5) If you sit in an airport or an airplane and record really small numbers into a notebook, inevitably someone will ask you what the hell you’re doing. If you’re having a good day, it’ll be an attractive female. If you’re having an unnaturally good day, she won’t be freaked out by it. Not many unnaturally good days, though......lol

4) The most positive attribute a person can possess is self-assurance. Not cockiness, not being a mouthy, smooth-talking jerk, just a presence that says you’re comfortable in your own skin. The real trick is exuding that attitude even if you don’t feel that way. Easier said than done.

3) There is a maximum salary in WNBA-- $95,000. I always wondered, and now I know. I’ve slept better since learning this.

2) I learn this more and more every month; time management is the most important skill on earth. Like the wise man once said, “We won’t all run out of money, but we’ll all run out of time.”

1) Its important to learn from everyone who comes into your life, even people who are a drain on your energy, resources. Believe me, sometimes you learn a lot more from those people, it just takes longer to realize what it is you learned.
