    Tuesday’s betting tips: Tigers can't win in Cleveland

    Who’s hot

    MLB: Colorado is 21-5 in its last 26 games against Cincinnati.

    MLB: The under is 8-3 in Chris Capuano’s last 11 starts.

    WNBA: Minnesota is 21-10 against the spread in its last 31.

    Who’s not

    MLB: The Los Angeles Angels are 3-11 in their last 14 games at Yankee Stadium.

    MLB: Detroit is winless in its last 11 games in Cleveland.

    WNBA: Washington is just 3-8 against the spread in its last 11 home games.

    Key stat

    93.5 – The Phoenix Mercury are allowing 93.5 points per game over their last six games. They’ve lost five of those contests outright, covering just once during the slump.

    Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

    Jose Reyes, New York Mets – The Mets placed shortstop Jose Reyes on the 15-day DL with a strained left hamstring, the same injury that put him on the shelf earlier this season. Reyes is hitting .336 with 80 runs scored and 34 stolen bases.

    Game of the day

    Milwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals (-125, 8.5)

    Notable quotable

    “I had a lot of emotions going on all week. You hear people say, ’How good are you now that you're not caddying for Tiger,’ things like that, and it makes you want to prove yourself. And when we were coming down the stretch and all those people were calling out my name, I mean I’ve never experienced anything like that, and when Adam won, all of a sudden, all that emotion, it all poured out. But, look, it’s time to move on.” – Caddy Steve Williams reflecting on his rant following Adam Scott’s win at the Bridgestone Invitational. Woods is set at +1600 for this week’s PGA Championship while Scott is pegged around +2000.

    Notes and tips

    Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Shane Victorino was suspended three games for his part in a dust-up with the San Francisco Giants last Friday. Victorino plans to appeal the ban, so he should be available for Tuesday’s game against the Dodgers. Meanwhile, the news isn’t so good for Placido Polanco, who has been diagnosed with a sports hernia. He intends to try to play through the injury, but will be taking it day-by-day.

    The women’s draw at Toronto’s Rogers Cup has seen a number of significant upsets already. Former No. 1 Jelena Jankovic as well as Marion Bartoli and Svetlana Kuznetsova were all ousted in the opening round. Meanwhile, defending champion Caroline Wozniacki is waiting for her first opponent of the tournament after enjoying a first-round bye.

      Tuesday's six-pack

      -- 84-year old Joe Paterno auffered a hairline fracture of his hip when he was run into from behind by a player during practice. He's expected to be released from the hospital Tuesday, but seems to be OK.

      -- Pirates ended their 10-game losing streak, blanking the Giants 5-0, as the world champs lost for the ninth time in their last 11 games.

      -- Worse news for the Giants is that Carlos Beltran has a sharp pain in the back of his hand and no one is quite sure what the problem is.

      -- Casey Kotchman is hitting .341 after his walk-off HR gave the Rays a 2-1 win at home against Kansas City.

      -- Mets rallied from down 8-4 to nip San Diego 9-8; scoring nine runs on a night when Willie Harris bats 6th, thats pretty good.

      -- Shane Victorino got a 3-game suspension for Friday night's fracas in San Francisco, but how did Eli Whiteside not get suspended? Look at the film of the incident; he clearly wanted a scuffle.


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


      Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but........

      13) Phils-Giants played Saturday in a crisp 2:14, with Hamels-Cain pitching, a game that might draw people to the sport. Instead, we get bludgeoned over the head with two more Bronx-Boston softball games. For two teams with combined $370M in payroll, they have a lot of marginal major leaguers, no?

      12) For a mere $71,000, you and your spouse can have dinner this week with the Obamas and dignitaries from the worlds of fashion, finance and movies. Most of the money goes to the Democratic National Committee. I’d rather have an In ‘n Out burger.

      11) Founder of La Pizza Loca in California is the new buyer of the Atlanta Hawks; he’s going to be awful disappointed when he realizes he just spent hundreds of millions of dollars for a business that might not operate for another 15 months. Well, draft will go off in June, whether there is a season or not, so maybe ten months.

      10) Deadline for baseball teams to sign their June draft picks is August 15; unsigned players go back to college.

      9) Apparently Texas Tech basketball coach Billy Gillispie lost $5M+ in a pair of Ponzi schemes; am I the only person left on this planet who puts his money in a bank?

      8) Omar Infante got three hits for the Marlins Thursday, the last of which happening after he had broken a finger diving for a ball at second base. Tough guy.

      7) NL has been giving out Player of the Month awards since 1958; not sure why the AL didn’t start giving that award out until 1974, but they didn’t. Barry Bonds has won Player of the Month 13 times, more than anyone else.

      6) Wonder why the Royals always suck? In his last three starts, Bruce Chen has pitched 13.2 innings, allowing 22 hits, seven walks, 16 runs, all while throwing 313 pitches. He’s still in the rotation, probably because vendors at Kauffman Stadium love the guy. Every time he pitches the first five innings last forever.

      5) If I had to vote for Managers of the Year right now, I’m voting for Kirk Gibson and Joe Maddon, but I could be swayed to Manny Acta in the AL. I’m an A’s fan, so it takes a lot for me to vote for Gibson, but he’s done a fine job with the Snakes.

      4) Greedy bastard update: Despite the price of oil dropping to a 6-month low last week, gas at the Mobil station near my house remains at $3.95 a gallon. Did I mention it was $3.42 in Las Vegas last month?

      3) If Jorge Posada is so upset about not playing more, the Bombers should release him and see how many other teams clamor for his services. Guy is washed up- they’re trying to give him his dignity by not canning him during the season. Everyone has to retire sometime.

      2) SI.com has an interesting piece on how the Jets lost out on versatile offensive weapon Brad Smith to Buffalo while they tried to sign Nnamdi Asomugha. Smith gives Chan Gailey an intriguing weapon to run the Wildcat formation.

      1) I’m trying to read more NFL stuff this summer, because this is a unique training camp the likes of which we’ll never see again. My gut feeling is that teams are going to be either really, really bad or really, really good in September. Its not going to be a normal season.

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

        Minnesota Lynx at Phoenix Mercury (2.5, 186)

        The Minnesota Lynx may respect what the Mercury have accomplished over the years, but they think their time is now.

        The Lynx are riding a nine-game winning streak heading into Tuesday night’s contest, which includes a 90-73 blowout of the Mercury as 6.5-point home favorite last week. The Lynx opened the fourth quarter of that matchup on an 11-0 run and didn’t look back.

        "They've proven themselves and won championships (in 2007 and '09), and we want to be where they are," Seimone Augustus told reporters of the Mercury after scoring 21 points in that win. "If we're going to pick a fight, we're going to pick a fight with the best in the West."

        Minnesota catches Phoenix at a good time too. The Mercury are coming off a tough 96-95 overtime loss to Connecticut – their fifth loss in six games.

        Oddsmakers have caught up to the Lynx, who have covered just once over the last four games, but you have to love the way they get up for games against Phoenix.

        Pick: Lynx


        San Antonio Silver Stars at Indiana Fever (-6.5, 147)


        It’s back to the drawing board for the Indiana Fever after they saw their five-game winning streak go down the tubes Sunday in Chicago.

        The Fever went into the game as a 3-point favorite, but suffered through one of their worst performances in recent memory, dropping an 88-69 decision. Katie Douglas led the way with 14 points, but the Fever just didn't have it. Not surprisingly, coach Lin Dunn wasn’t exactly thrilled about the outcome.

        ''They outworked us, outhustled us, they beat us up and down the floor and I am very disappointed in our effort, very disappointed in our energy," Dunn told reporters. ''They played like a team they wants a playoff spot and we played like a team that is resting waiting for the playoffs.

        We’ll definitely see a better Fever effort on Tuesday, but this seems like a lot of points against a Silver Stars team that has covered in four of their last six.

        Pick: Silver Stars

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

                Streaking

                Justin Masterson, Cleveland Indians (9-7, 2.63 ERA)


                Masterson is coming off a 7-3 win over Boston that saw him strike out nine Red Sox. The 6-foot-6 fireballer has allowed more than three runs just once over his last dozen starts and he hasn’t yielded more than two walks in his last 10 trips to the hill.

                “He doesn’t go through that many breaking pitches right now and everybody knows it,” Indians manager Manny Acta told reporters. “He’s tough to hit when he’s sinking that ball and elevating that four-seam fastball at 96, 97. He’s in a very good groove right now.’’

                Brett Cecil, Toronto Blue Jays (4-4, 4.35 ERA)

                Cecil wasn’t at his best last week against the Rays, but he is 2-0 with a 1.80 ERA in his last three starts. The lefty gave up just four hits over six innings and was tagged for three earned runs while striking out four and walking three.

                The Blue Jays have won four of his last five starts and he has pitched at least six innings in his last six outings.


                Slumping

                Francisco Liriano, Minnesota Twins (7-9, 5.03 ERA)


                Just when it looked like Liriano pulled himself together he was shelled again. After allowing two runs over seven innings of work against Oakland, he was drilled for 10 hits and seven earned runs in a 7-1 loss to the Angels.

                He heads into Tuesday’s start with a 5.69 ERA over his last six outings.

                A.J. Burnett, New York Yankees (8-9, 4.54 ERA)

                If nothing else, Burnett is at least trying to stay positive, but you have to wonder how long the Yanks are going to keep sending him out to the hill. He was drilled for seven runs over 4 1/3 innings in his last start and hasn’t won a start since June 29.

                "I can't beat myself up. I've got to stay positive," Burnett told reporters. "And believe me, I still believe I'm important. I believe I'm a big part of this team and I'm going to be a big part. I'm going to get on a roll and it's just a matter of time."

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

                  Milwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals (-120, 8)

                  The Brewers and Cardinals are battling for top spot in the NL Central heading into Tuesday’s series opener with St. Louis three games back of Milwaukee.

                  The Brewers have been on a major roll with 11 wins in their last 12 games, but now we’ll really see what they’re made of in St. Louis. Milwaukee has been terrible on the road all season and even though they are coming off a sweep of the Astros, let’s face it – they’re just the Astros.

                  Milwaukee took two of three from the Cardinals at home last week in a series that got a little nasty and we could be in for the same sort of set this week.

                  "From a competition standpoint, it makes it more enjoyable," Milwaukee’s Ryan Braun told reporters of the budding rivalry. "They have a good team, we have a good team. We expect them to be in it until the end. It just makes the competition that much more fun."

                  We’ll jump on the Brewers at this price with Shawn Marcum on the hill and go from there.

                  Pick: Brewers


                  Oakland Athletics at Toronto Blue Jays (-140, 8.5)


                  So far, the Toronto Blue Jays are dealing with the Brett Lawrie hype machine perfectly.

                  They brought the Canadian prospect up from the minors while the Jays were on the road to cut down on some of the pressure he’d face and the third baseman responded by going 5-for-11 with a home run and two RBIs.

                  Now Blue Jays fans are getting ready for their first look at the slugger Tuesday at the Rogers Center.

                  “Now I know I can stick, I can play with these guys,” Lawrie told reporters following his first MLB road trip. “And I knew I could before, it was just a of me getting the opportunity. But I’m playing out here for these guys, I’m not playing for myself.”

                  The Blue Jays have won 11 of their last 14 home dates with the A’s and we see that trend continuing in Game 1 of this series.

                  Pick: Blue Jays
