Sunday's betting tips: Maybe there is a sure thing...

Weather to watch

The forecast for the final round of the PGA Championship at Atlanta Athletic Club: 87 degrees and humid, with 9 mile-per-hour winds. Starting at 7 p.m. there’s a 10 percent chance of rain.

Who’s hot

MLB: The Angels are 8-2 in Dan Haren’s last 10 starts.

MLB: Oakland is 39-16 in Rich Harden’s last 55 starts on grass.

WNBA: The Under is 12-3-1 in San Antonio’s last 16 games.


Who’s not

MLB: The Marlins are 0-6 in Chris Volstad’s last six starts against winning teams.

MLB: The Over is 1-7 in John Danks’ last eight starts for the White Sox.

WNBA: Minnesota is 0-4 ATS in its last four games.

Key stat

20 – The Giants set a MLB record with their 20th straight solo homer in Friday’s 2-1 loss to the Marlins. Pablo Sandoval hit the record-breaking homer, then Jeff Keppinger hit the 21st straight solo shot on Saturday. The streak began July 6 when Nate Schierholtz beat the Padres with a 14th-inning solo shot. In the fourth inning of that 6-5 win, Schierholtz had belted a two-run homer.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

With Huston Street on the DL with a right triceps train, the Rockies will have turned to Rafael Betancourt as a temporary closer. It might be an upgrade. Street converted 29 of 32 chances, but was just 1-3 with a 4.06 ERA after allowing runs in three of his four August appearances. Betancourt got his first save last Tuesday at Cincinnati and has not allowed an earned run since July 7. Betancourt has a better ERA (3.61), WHIP (1.08 to Street’s 1.18) and strikeout ratio over nine innings (10.65 to 8.65).

Game of the day

Tampa Bay Rays at New York Yankees

Notable quotable

"They questioned me last year and they're still kind of questioning me now. I've just got to go show them so they can stop questioning me." – Jets running back Joe McKnight, who will get plenty of touches in Monday’s preseason opener at Houston, to the New York Post. If McKnight has a good preseason, his role will increase at the expense of aging LaDainian Tomlinson. The Texans are favored by 2.5 points.

Notes and tips

The Falcons made a point of showcasing rookie WR Julio Jones in their preseason opener. They sent a message to the rest of the league that if you want to double Roddy White, you’re going to pay. Jones, a 6-3, 220-pound stud out of Alabama, caught two balls for 43 yards and took a reverse for 12 more against Miami’s starting defense. It sure looked like Atlanta got the explosiveness it wanted when it traded a bunch of picks to grab Jones at No. 6 overall.

The slumping Pirates placed newly acquired first baseman Derrek Lee on the 15-day DL with a fractured bone in his left wrist. He was hit by a pitch on Aug. 3 and has been trying to play through the injury. It’s just the latest sad turn for Pittsburgh, which was buoyed by Lee’s two homers in his Aug. 1 debut. The Pirates recalled infielder Josh Harrison from Triple-A Indianapolis.

They say there’s no such thing as a sure thing. But how about the Brewers vs. the Pirates at Miller Park? Milwaukee has won 35 of its last 38 home games against Pittsburgh, including 11 straight. The Brewers also had a 22-game home win streak against Pittsburgh snapped last year. And it’s not like the Pirates are terrible on the road this year. They are 30-30 away from PNC Park.

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

Chicago Sky at San Antonio Silver Stars (-5.5, 146)

Chicago is not what you’d call a good road team. The Sky are 2-9 SU and 3-8 ATS away from the Windy City.

With the exception of a July 28 win over woeful Tulsa, Chicago has lost its previous four road games by an average of 10.8 points.

The Silver Stars are coming off a huge win Thursday night at Connecticut. Becky Hammon scored 18 points and Sophia Young 15 in the 72-59 win.

In the only previous meeting this season, San Antonio beat the Sky 84-74 in Chicago as five players scored in double figures.

Pick: San Antonio


Tulsa Shock at Minnesota Lynx (-16.5, 151)

The WNBA’s best and worst get together on Sunday as the Lynx (17-5) host the Shock (1-21), whose only victory came June 18 against Washington.

In two previous meetings this year, Minnesota won 101-71 in Tulsa on June 30 and 75-65 at home on June 7.

While the Shock have almost no shot to win this one, they are playing better defense lately. They’ve allowed 77, 71 and 72 points the last three times out. The under is 8-0 in Tulsa’s last eight road games. Tulsa is also on a 9-2-1 under streak overall.

The Lynx aren’t quite pouring it on like they were earlier this season. Four of their last six games have gone under.

Pick: Under

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

Streaking

Dan Haren, Los Angeles Angels (12-6, 2.91 ERA)

Despite giving up four runs to the Yankees his last time out, Haren won for the sixth time in seven decisions. He allowed one run in each of his previous three starts. Opponents are batting .225 against him.

Charlie Morton, Pittsburgh Pirates (9-6, 3.56 ERA)

The 27-year-old right-hander has not been scored upon in his last two starts covering 15 innings. He struck out 11 and allowed 11 hits in those outings. Right-handed hitters are batting .194 against him.


Slumping

Jordan Lyles, Houston Astros (1-6, 4.88 ERA)

Batters are hitting a healthy .280 against Lyles after he was shellacked for seven earned runs and 12 hits in five innings vs. Arizona last week. Houston has lost 11 of his last 12 starts.

Jason Marquis, Arizona Diamondbacks (8-6, 4.48 ERA)

In two starts since being acquired from the Nationals, Marquis has given up 11 earned runs and 19 hits, including two homers, over eight innings. Batters are hitting .295 against Marquis, whose ERA is up nearly a run since June 23.

Sunday Night Baseball: Rockies at Cardinals
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Colorado Rockies at St. Louis Cardinals (-152, 8.5)

The St. Louis Cardinals return to ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball for the second time in three weeks when they host the Colorado Rockies in the finale of their three-game series.

CARDINAL RULE

The Cardinals have won three of their first four games against the Rockies this season, including taking two of three from the Rockies in Coors Field back in May. In game one of this series, St. Louis used a five-run sixth inning to defeat the Rockies 6-1. Dating back to last season, St. Louis has won seven of its last eight against Colorado, including five in a row in St. Louis.

ON HOLLIDAY

The Cardinals returned a big bat to the lineup Friday, getting outfielder Matt Holliday back from a lower back injury that kept him out for two games. Holliday went 1 for 4 with an RBI double in Friday’s win over the Rockies carried a six-game hitting streak into Saturday’s Game 2.

"He said when he came in he's good to go," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa told reporters. "I said, 'I'll write you in and then we'll take the workout and finish hitting.' He said, 'Thumbs up.'"

Holliday, who played five seasons in Colorado, has a career .367 BA with three home runs in 15 games against his former club, heading into Saturday. He’s hitting .318 with 18 home runs on the season, and has been red hot in August, batting .382 with four home runs and 11 RBI.

MR. ROGERS NEIGHBORHOOD

Colorado’s starter Sunday night, Esmil Rogers, has been superb when he leaves Coors Field. The Rockies are 4-0 in his four road starts this season. In his last start, Rogers went six innings and allowed two earned run in a 3-2 win in Cincinnati Tuesday. He also owns wins at Wrigley Field, Citi Field and PNC Park.

ED “WIN” JACKSON

You can’t spell Edwin without “W-I-N”, but it has been tough to get wins out of Jackson when he’s pitching in the National League. Jackson has spent at least parts of five seasons in the National League during his nine-year career. His worst ERA’s have come from his days with the Dodgers (7.30 in 2004, 6.28 in 2005) and Arizona (5.16 in 2010). He has been a far more effective pitcher in the American League. Before being traded to the Cardinals, Jackson was 7-7 with a 3.92 ERA for the White Sox. In his first three starts with the Red Birds, Jackson is 1-1 with a 4.95 ERA and he has already yielded five home runs.

BETTORS BEWARE

The Rockies have been the second-worst bet in all of baseball. If you wagered $100 on Colorado every game this season you would be down $2,251. Through Friday, Colorado is 55-65 and 11.5 games out of first place in the NL West.

And even though the Cardinals are 64-55 as of Friday and only four games back in the NL Central, St. Louis has not been a moneymaker at the pay window. The Cards are slightly below break-even, as $100 bettors would have lost $61 dollars on them this entire season.

NOTEWORTHY NUMBERS

- Colorado pitchers have a 5.91 ERA against the Cardinals this season.
- St. Louis pitchers have a 5.40 ERA against the Rockies this season.
- Colorado is 2-9 in its last 11 road games vs. a team with a winning record.
- St. Louis is 7-1 in its last eight games vs. a right-handed starter.
- Colorado is 6-13 in its last 19 road games vs. a right-handed starter.

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

Los Angeles Angels at Toronto Blue Jays (+120, 7.5)

The Angels will send out right-hander Dan Haren, who has a sick WHIP of 0.85 over his last three starts, to win Sunday’s rubber game in Toronto.

Los Angeles has won Haren’s last six Sunday starts, and eight of his last 10 overall.

The Blue Jays’ Brett Cecil also has pitched well lately, but the Angels are 6-1 in their last seven games against lefty starters. In three career starts against Los Angeles, Cecil has yielded four homers and 12 earned runs in 18 innings.

The Angels had won four straight in Toronto until Saturday’s 11-2 setback.

Pick: Angels


New York Mets at Arizona Diamondbacks (-138, 10)

Right about now Arizona might be wishing it had stuck with Micah Owings instead of trading for Jason Marquis. In two starts as a Diamondback, Marquis has allowed 11 earned runs and 19 hits in eight innings.

The Mets will counter with lefty Chris Capuano, who has a 6.23 ERA in his last three starts.

The two starters have posted a combined 26-18 O/U mark this season.

These teams had played over the total in five of seven meetings heading into Saturday night’s game.

Pick: Over

College football opening line report: Week 1

Every week during the college football season, we analyze how the pros set the lines, and what the experts think of them. With the release of Week 1’s action a few days ago, there’s no better time than the present to kick it off.

While there are clearly some as-expected Opening Week duds out there, there are also plenty of marquee matchups that we can spend three weeks debating. So, without further ado:

Wake Forest Demon Deacons at Syracuse Orange (-6)

The Orange enter new territory here. After a bowl win over Kansas State, a lot more is expected of them, especially at home versus a rebuilding ACC team.

“Our range was from Syracuse -5 to -10,” Las Vegas lines consultant Pete Korner told ***********. “We went with the lower number, -6, not confident that Syracuse could manufacture a blowout.”

“This line is based on results from last year. Syracuse was a pleasant surprise while Wake Forest was a big disappointment,” Covers Expert Matt Fargo said. “Syracuse lost 13 seniors while Wake Forest brings back the second most starters in the ACC. This could be too much for the Orange to cover.”

TCU Horned Frogs (-7.5) at Baylor Bears

There’s no doubting the Horned Frogs anymore, as they fear no one and will clearly go anywhere and do anything to further their reputation. An in-state road trip here is proof.

“Our range was from -7 to -12 and we settled on -7.5,” Korner said. “I was the high man at -12, but conceded that the big number may be a major grab by bettors at this early stage.”

“TCU has lost once in the last two years, so naturally it will be a decent-sized road favorite,” Fargo said. “The Horned Frogs will be going through some major rebuilding, losing 14 starters. Baylor will be good again, but is 4-15 ATS in the last 19 as home dogs, including 2-6 under (coach Art) Briles.”

Akron Zips at Ohio State Buckeyes (-37)

The new-look Buckeyes try to forget the offseason by drilling an in-state foe. But is this line asking a bit much?

“Our range was from -33 to -40 and we sent out -37. We'll have to see where this closes,” Korner said. “It's hard to imagine not being heavy with Ohio State money at that low level when it’s time for kickoff. If I were a book, I'd start a lot higher and get some Akron money in the bank before the real betting starts.”

“Stay away,” Fargo said. “Who knows what the Buckeyes will bring to the table. But even so, talent-wise they are way above Akron which is looking at another last place finish in the MAC East.”

Northwestern Wildcats at Boston College Eagles (-3.5)

Two blah teams from major conferences, but a nice debatable line to throw around.

“Our range was from -3 to -7.5, but I yielded again to the lower numbers as we released -3.5,” Korner said. “Not much opinion here, but hopefully either team will establish themselves which will give us a better gauge going into Week 2."

“Both of these teams are pretty equal on paper and the unit matchups will be strength against strength and weakness against weakness,” Fargo said. “Three points is given for home field and this line is right on. Looks like a tossup.”

South Florida Bulls at Notre Dame Fighting Irish (-11)

Year 2 of Brian Kelly doesn’t open with a cupcake. Too many points to give a speedy team?

“Our range was from -11 to -13.5 and we released -11,” Korner said. “I thought that was more than enough. We think this will be a take for dog bettors, but the money may not match the favorite money come gameday.”

“You can argue this is a typical Notre Dame line as it is higher than it should be simply because it is Notre Dame. I think a double-digit number is justified though as the Irish are loaded with talent,” Fargo said. “USF is a favorite in the Big East, but that isn't saying much.”

UCLA Bruins at Houston Cougars (-3)

Houston quarterback Case Keenum will always give the Cougars some value. Is this a chance to make a statement?

“Our range was from -1 to -3, and we sent out -3. We're all close here so there weren’t too many opinions otherwise,” Korner said. “We don't care who wins, but if this line is good, we're just rooting for the final score not to land on three.”

“This is definitely a statement game for Houston after last year's disappointment. Win this and they could be 10-0 going into its huge game against SMU,” Fargo said. “The Bruins will have a tough time in the Pac-10, but match up well talent-wise here. This is a revenge game for the Cougars.”

Western Michigan Broncos at Michigan Wolverines (-17)

A new era at Michigan begins with a team that has bitten some big boys before.

“Our range was from -13 to -20.5, and we sent out -17. I don't care where Michigan is at, they should handle two touchdowns,” Korner said. “Anyone booking this low number will be rooting for the dog to come Saturday. Really, you want to be rooting for Western Michigan?”

“Michigan should be improved under a new staff and new schemes. Changing the offense to a pro set is risky, but will pay off in the long run simply because the defense will play against it in practice every day, thus preparing for the entire Big Ten,” Fargo said. “Western Michigan is talented and can hang around here, since Michigan may still be showing signs of the new learning curve.”

BYU Cougars at Mississippi Rebels (-1.5)

This seems like back to the old days, when BYU would go anywhere against anyone to get some national TV coverage.

“Our range was from Mississippi -1 to -2.5. BYU is the current favorite, not Mississippi. Offshore opinion came out with this number and everyone is copying it. We didn't care,” Korner said. “We sent out Mississippi -1.5 and believe they'll handle BYU here.”

“On paper, the Cougars are clearly the better team, but can they compete against a BCS team,” Fargo asked. “The Rebels will be one of the worst teams in the SEC, but even the bad teams from that conference can beat the best from other conferences. Tossup again.”

Oregon Ducks (-3) vs. LSU Tigers (Arlington, Texas)

For the second time in as many games, spread out over nine months, the speedy Ducks run into the power of the SEC.

“Our range was from pick to Oregon -4.5 and we settled for a sendout of Oregon -3. They may not be Oregon of last year, but they should be close,” Korner said. “Good thing for sportsbooks is that if they need either team big, they should get a good effort from whoever they need.”

“If LSU was at home, this would be a joke of a line. We will have to look deeper into the matchups to find some edges,” Fargo said. “But right now, it is a huge pass.”

Boise State Broncos (-4) vs. Georgia Bulldogs (Atlanta, Georgia)

Another SEC underdog against a team from the West Coast.

“Our range was from Boise State -3 to -6. Minus-4 seemed like the perfect fit and that's what we sent out. There's a reason Boise State is favored,” Korner said. “Because they can beat anyone at any time. We like the higher side and hope we're rooting for them to grab the cash for the sportsbooks.”

“The Bulldogs will have the crowd advantage,” Fargo said. “Georgia had its first losing season in 14 years in 2010, but that could mean a big bounce-back year. Boise State is loaded again, but the points look very tempting.”

Sunday's six-pack

-- Indianapolis Colts are now 4-23 in preseason games since 2005.

-- Detroit Lions are 2-31 in their last 33 NFC North road games.

-- Willie Bloomquist is the first Arizona State alum to play for Arizona Diamondbacks, which is a little hard to believe, but it is true.

-- Diamondback pitchers have 28 RBI this year, most in the majors.

-- 11 golfers made the cut at all four majors this year.

-- Who is the only US President whose presidential library is located in Iowa? Answer is down below in today's List of 13.


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


Sunday's List of 13: Random stuff on a summer day

13) Strong rumors are out there that Texas A&M is jumping to the SEC; if true, then another round of musical chairs is about to begin, as far as what schools go to what leagues.

Do the math, and the Big Dozen hasn't got long to live- Texas will jump to the Pac-16, which would probably be looking at Oklahoma-Oklahoma State and Baylor or Texas Tech.

12) Missouri would probably go to the SEC with A&M, Kansas would go to the Big East (big loser in all this will be geography teachers), which leaves Iowa State, Kansas State and Baylor/Texas Tech in limbo. This is all driven by football. As someone whose main activity is handicapping basketball, it creates a weird scenario with such big leagues now.

11) Now if the SEC takes Florida State instead of Missouri, that would leave the remnants of the Big 12 to annex Conference USA and still be a pretty good football league, albeit one with a lot less money. Its useless for me to even form opinions on this, just have to try and understand the ramifications of what happens if/when it all happens. Weird stuff.

10) Dan Uggla has 32 RBI during his 33-game hitting streak.

9) Ryan Howard has 13 RBI in 14 games since Hunter Pence has been on the Phillies; is Howard getting better pitches to hit?

8) Oakland Raiders have had seven head coaches in the last ten seasons. Pittsburgh Steelers have had three head coaches in the last 42 seasons.

7) Steelers' backup QB Dennis Dixon asked for a trade earlier this month, then he went out and was 1-10 for 29 yards in the preseason opener. If he wants to get traded to an NFL team, he better start playing better. There are teams in the CFL that I'm sure would love to have him.

6) I'm against wagering on NFL preseason games; what you're doing is guessing which team will try harder. Rex Grossman was 19-26/207 Friday for the Redskins; Ben Roethlisberger was 2-3/22 for Pittsburgh. One team tried much harder to win. Not sure how you figure that out beforehand.

5) There will be widespread panic in the New York media this week after the New Jersey Giants' offense had only 13 first downs and three points in a loss at Carolina. Cam Newton was 8-19/134 in his pro debut, and it struck me as newsworthy that Newton didn't run the ball once. Thought Newton looked OK, considering he was working with the #2 WR group.

4) Tennessee rookie Jake Locker, who I was very high on in his college days until his dismal senior season, was 7-10/89 yards in Titans' 14-3 win over Minnesota. Too bad Locker wasn't 7-10 more often in his days with U-Dub; he would've gotten drafted a lot higher than he did.

3) Cubs suspended Carlos Zambrano for 30 days without pay for being a jackass Friday night after he was pounded by the Braves. He threatened to quit, he took his stuff back to the hotel, all stuff little kids do when they don't get their way. He was repentant Saturday, but it was too late.

2) CBS had at least two highlight packages of 2-3 minutes each Saturday on the struggles of Eldrick Woods, who missed the cut Friday by a mere six shots. Woods is pretty much done for the year now, since he isn't in the tournament next week, so he won't qualify for the Tour playoffs. He is yesterday's news, but CBS hasn't figured that out yet.

1) All this conference shuffling could conceivably get SMU and all of its deep-pocketed alumni back into a BCS conference; if that happens, then June Jones III is either the smartest guy around or the successor to Lou Gehrig as the luckiest man on the face of the earth.

Answer to quiz: Herbert Hoover's library is located in Iowa.
