    Florida Marlins Face Roy Halladay, Phillies

    The Florida Marlins will be in the eye of a hurricane Saturday in playing a doubleheader against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. Game 1 will begin at 10:05 a.m. (PT) and the nightcap’s first pitch is expected at 4:05 p.m.

    Hurricane Irene is expected to pound the Eastern seaboard over the weekend and has caused league officials to schedule three twinbills across the majors.

    Philadelphia is likely to extend its current six-game lead in the National League East standings, winning five of six home meetings over Florida, including a four-game sweep from June 14-16. The Phillies outscored the Marlins by a 25-6 margin in that set.

    Roy Halladay (15-5, 2.56 ERA) has been a destructive force to opposing teams the entire season and will be looking to improve upon his 8-2 record and 2.32 ERA in 14 home starts. He has issued just eight free passes and registered 102 strikeouts in 104 2/3 innings.

    The right-hander will be making his 13th daytime appearance of the 2011 campaign, producing a 9-1 mark and 2.38 ERA. He will enter the contest with a dominating 71-28 record and 3.26 ERA in 131 career appearances (124 starts) under the sun.

    Halladay has garnered a winning 4-3 mark and 2.47 ERA in nine lifetime starts versus the Marlins, including a 5-4 no-decision effort on this mound on June 15 (7 IP, 4 ER). Bettors will definitely need to be aware of the Phillies 21-4 record in Halladay’s last 25 starts versus NL East opponents.

    Florida just split a home doubleheader against Cincinnati on Wednesday at Sun Life Stadium and enjoyed a day off before traveling up the coast. The Marlins will be aiming to snap a five-game losing streak on the road. Despite their recent struggles away from home, the Marlins have still compiled a 12-7-2 series mark when playing at an opponents’ venue.

    Anibal Sanchez (7-6, 4.01 ERA) will be making his third consecutive road start and brings in a winning 4-3 record and 3.89 ERA in 13 appearances away from South Florida. The right-hander has struggled since the All-Star break, posting a 1-4 record and 5.05 ERA in eight starts compared to a 6-2 mark and 3.58 ERA in 18 starts before the Midsummer Classic.

    Sanchez will be facing the Phillies for the 15th time in his career, entering with a 3-7 record and 5.67 ERA, including three no-decision efforts this year. Over those appearances, he has allowed nine runs and 16 hits over 17 innings of work. The 27-year-old will want to pitch carefully to Philadelphia second baseman Chase Utley, who is hitting .484 with seven RBIs in 31 career at-bats against him.

    Florida has yet to announce a Game 2 starter. Philadelphia is expected to throw southpaw Cliff Lee, who has won his last five starts, while also bringing in a perfect 2-0 mark and 2.77 ERA in four lifetime outings versus the Marlins.

    Weather forecasts suggest showers in the area around 11:00 a.m. (PT) and moving into periods of rain starting later in the afternoon and lasting throughout the weekend. Winds will be blowing out of the east at 10-20 mph.

    Texas Rangers Host LA Angels MLB Betting Preview

    What was once a comfortable 7-game lead in the AL West standings for the Texas Rangers has dwindled to two as the weekend begins. The Los Angeles Angels hope to cut into Texas’ advantage a little more when the clubs continue their series on Saturday.

    First pitch from Rangers Ballpark is 5:05 p.m. with Texas sending CJ Wilson (16-11, 3.08) to the mound against either Joel Piñeiro (10-9, 5.37) or Ervin Santana (15-12, 3.17).

    The series opener on Friday was still pending with the Rangers laying -115 on the MLB odds behind lefty Derek Holland. Los Angeles had Dan Haren on the mound with a 9-run total at most shops, a few 8½-run marks also available.

    It's the fifth series this year between the two squads, with one more set in Anaheim at the end of the season still to come. Texas holds a slight 7-6 edge in the previous 13 games with the clubs and the totals splitting the six previous encounters at Rangers Ballpark.

    Texas entered the series in the midst of a 3-game losing skid while the Angels’ win streak had grown to six. The Rangers dropped the last three games of their series with the Red Sox by a combined 30-7 margin, and their pitching staff had surrendered double digits in three of their most recent five games before Friday.

    Los Angeles started stringing together wins in the finale of a 4-game home series against the Rangers a week ago. Halos hurlers allowed 17 runs in the 6-game span while the lineup was busy crossing the plate 39 times.

    Wilson has picked up the victory in each of his last three starts and will be looking to close out a solid August during which he’s 3-0 in four outings with a 1.37 ERA. One of his recent wins came in Anaheim on Aug. 17 when he limited the Angels to just one earned run over seven frames in a 4-3 victory.

    This will be his fifth go at the Halos this season with the Rangers 3-1 in the previous four and Wilson sporting a 1.33 ERA over 27 innings. Texas went 4-1 in his five assignments against their division rivals a year ago.

    Angels manager Mike Scioscia had yet to officially name his starter for Saturday after mulling over the idea of pitching both Ervin Santana and Jered Weaver on short rest in this important series. Neither pitcher has ever started a major league game on three days of rest.

    Santana is coming off a no-decision at home this past Tuesday in the Angels’ 5-4, walk-off win over the White Sox. He was the losing pitcher in the Aug. 17 matchup against the Rangers and Wilson, and the Angels are 0-3 in his three starts vs. Texas this season. Santana’s two assignments in Texas have seen the right-hander work 11 innings and allow 10 earned runs.

    If Santana does get the call, he’ll be happy to see Adrian Beltre (hamstring) still on the disabled list. The Rangers third baseman has taken Santana deep twice this season and four times in their careers.

    Piñeiro just rejoined the LA rotation after spending the bulk of this month pitching out of the bullpen. He worked six innings and gave up nine hits along with four runs last Saturday against the Orioles in his first start back in the starting mix. He left the contest with the lead, but earned a no-decision with the Angels eventually pulling out a 13-inning, 9-8 victory as 140 favorites.

    His only appearance against Texas this year came in relief nearly two weeks ago (3 IP, 0 ER). Thirteen of his 19 starts this season have gone ‘over.’

    Hot and dry remains the forecast for Arlington and most of Texas on Saturday. Expect a game-time temperature in the upper-90s if not still in triple digits. That forecast should hold for the series finale Sunday evening on ESPN when either Santana or Weaver faces Colby Lewis.

      MLB Series Outlook: Detroit at Minnesota

      DETROIT TIGERS (71-59, +6.2 Units)

      at MINNESOTA TWINS (55-75, -11.5 Units)


      Sportsbook.com Series Line: Detroit -155, Minnesota +125

      The Tigers can move closer to sewing up an A.L. Central crown if they beat up on the Twins in Minnesota again in a three-game set that starts Friday night.

      Detroit has won five of six at Target Field, and they’ve won six of seven overall since an upset series loss at home to the Twins (August 15-17). Since that series, Minnesota is 1-7 on its current homestand, and an American League-worst 28-37 at home this year. Detroit also has the edge in pitching matchups for all three games. The FoxSheets provide another highly-rated reason DETROIT is the pick to win the series.

      MINNESOTA is 13-28 (31.7%, -18.2 Units) against the money line in home games vs. AL teams scoring 4.7 or less runs/game on the season this season. The average score was MINNESOTA 2.9, OPPONENT 5.1 - (Rating = 3*).

      Pitching Probables for Saturday, August 27 - 4:10 ET
      Saturday line: TBD
      DET: 20-8 (+8.9 Units) when Justin Verlander starts
      MIN: 11-15 (-1.1 Units) when Carl Pavano starts
      Verlander (19-5 2.28 ERA) has won seven straight starts, posting a 2.22 ERA while holding opponents to a .166 batting average. The Tigers are 10-4 in Verlander’s road starts this year, including six in a row. He’s dominated the Twins over the past two seasons (4-1, 1.51 ERA), as the Tigers won five of those six starts.
      Pavano (6-10, 4.54 ERA) continues to struggle, as the Twins have dropped four of his past five starts, though he hasn’t pitched too atrociously (4.32 ERA in those outings). Pavano has also pitched far better at home this season, where he has a 3.26 ERA. He held the Tigers to three runs over seven innings in a win at Detroit on August 17, but allowed five runs over six innings to them in a July 21 loss at home.

      Pitching Probables for Sunday, August 28 - 2:10 ET
      Sunday line: TBD
      DET: 12-13 (-0.4 Units) when Brad Penny starts
      MIN: 10-15 (-2.8 Units) when Brian Duensing starts
      Penny (9-9, 4.82 ERA) has had a rough go of it since the All-Star break, posting a 5.66 ERA while striking out just 13 batters over 41.1 innings. He did have a more encouraging start in Tampa on Tuesday, when he held the Rays to one run over 6.1 innings (though he still only struck out two). Penny has a 5.91 ERA on the road this year, and has not fared well in his three outings against the Twins (5.68 ERA, 1.53 WHIP), two of which were Detroit losses.
      Duensing (8-13, 5.12 ERA) has essentially been throwing batting practice in August: 0-5 with an 8.65 ERA and a .388 opponent’s BA. He’s allowed a whopping nine home runs in those five starts. Shockingly, he’s performed better on the road than in pitcher-friendly Target Field, where he has a 6.43 ERA this year. The Tigers got to him for seven runs (all earned) on nine hits and two homers over 4.2 innings on July 22, and the Twins are 5-10 against Detroit with Duensing on the mound during his career.

        MLB Series Outlook: L.A. Angels at Texas

        LOS ANGELES ANGELS (71-59, +6.4 Units)

        at TEXAS RANGERS (74-58, +0.1 Units)


        Sportsbook.com Series Line: Texas -150, L.A. Angels +120

        Just when it looked like the Rangers had sealed up the A.L. West, the Angels have surged back into contention with six straight wins. The teams meet up for a huge three-game set in Texas starting Friday night.

        Since losing three straight to the Rangers at home (August 15-17), the Angels have outscored opponents 39-17 during their six-game run, while Texas has lost six of eight, to trim its division lead to two games. The Rangers bats are going quiet (13 runs in six games), and they’re still without 3B Adrian Beltre. They’ve been shut out twice in the past five games, by the likes of Chicago’s Gavin Floyd and Boston’s Andrew Miller. The Angels have their three best pitchers set to go this weekend, and they’re a solid 33-31 on the road this year. The FoxSheets provide another trend siding with LOS ANGELES to win the series.

        TEXAS is 16-19 (-20.3 Units) against the money line in home games vs. poor power teams - averaging 0.9 or less HR's/game in the second half of the season over the last 3 seasons. The average score was TEXAS 5.1, OPPONENT 4.9 - (Rating = 1*).

        Pitching Probables for Saturday, August 27 - 8:05 ET
        Saturday line: TBD
        LAA: 15-12 (+2.2 Units) when Ervin Santana starts
        TEX: 16-11 (+0.9 Units) when C.J. Wilson starts
        Santana (9-9, 3.17 ERA) has been outstanding overall since the All-Star break, going 5-1 with a 1.80 ERA. But his past two starts have been a little less encouraging. He allowed four runs (three earned) and 14 base runners over 7.2 innings in a loss to Texas on August 17, and followed it up by allowing four runs over eight innings to the White Sox on Tuesday. However, Arlington has been a house of horrors for him over his career. He’s posted a 7.37 ERA there while allowing 22 home runs in just 75.2 innings. He’s lost his past three starts at Texas, including two early this season.
        Wilson (13-5, 3.08 ERA) has strung together three straight wins in impressive fashion, allowing three runs (two earned) over 19.2 innings during that stretch. The Rangers have won nine of his 13 home starts this year, two of them against the Angels (in which Wilson has allowed five runs—three earned—over 12 innings). Since moving to the rotation prior to last year, Wilson has posted a 2.57 ERA in nine starts against the Angels, and the Rangers went 7-2 in those outings.

        Pitching Probables for Sunday, August 28 - 8:10 ET
        Sunday line: TBD
        LAA: 18-9 (+6.4 Units) when Jered Weaver starts
        TEX: 13-13 (-4.8 Units) when Colby Lewis starts
        There was some worry about Weaver (15-6, 2.03 ERA) after he was lit up in Toronto on August 13 (eight runs in 4.2 innings), but he’s laid those to rest with two impressive outings since. He held the Rangers to one run over seven innings on August 18, then shut out the White Sox for seven innings on Wednesday. He’s been a little more beatable on the road this year—a 2.60 ERA, while the Angels are only 8-7 in his road starts—and L.A. has lost eight of his 12 career starts in Texas, where Weaver has a 4.09 ERA. He has held the Rangers in check this year, with a 1.86 ERA over four starts (three Angel wins).
        He’s been schizophrenic all season, and Lewis (11-9, 4.07 ERA) is coming off another terrible start. The Red Sox got him for seven runs over six innings on Tuesday, one start after he shut out the Angels for seven innings in Anaheim. He has not pitched well in Arlington this year (4-5, 5.56 ERA), and the Rangers are just 6-7 in his home starts. And since returning to the U.S. from Japan before the 2010 season, Lewis is 0-2 against the Angels, and Texas has lost all four of his starts against Los Angeles.

          CFL Betting Notes - Week 9

          Saturday, August 27

          Montreal Alouettes at Calgary Stampeders (-1) Over/Under (55)

          In a matchup of two of the best teams in the league, they each come into this game with identical 5-2 records SU and 4-3 records ATS. Montreal is 2-1 both SU and ATS on the road this season and Calgary is 1-2 SU and ATS in three home games.

          These two split their two-game series last season with each winning at home. The Stampeders rolled over Montreal 46-21 in early October as three-point favorites and just 10 days later, the Alouettes flipped the script with a 46-19 romp as 3 ½-point favorites. The total went ‘over’ in both of these games.

          This series has remained tight over the past few seasons with each team winning five of 10 SU. The Alouettes have won three of the last four meetings SU and ATS overall, but the series is tied at two games apiece both SU and ATS in the last four meetings in Calgary. The total has gone ‘over’ in four of the last six games overall and in the last four at McMahon Stadium. Montreal running back Brandon Whitaker leads the CFL with 566 yards rushing on 85 carries. Quarterback Anthony Calvillo is second in passing yards with 2,095, but has just 55 more yards than Calgary quarterback Henry Burris.

            At the Gate - Saturday

            August 27, 2011

            It’s Travers Day at Saratoga which means it is time to turn The Weather Channel off and fire up the wagering account.



            The 13-race card kicks off with an early 11:35 post time, and it appears that Hurricane Irene will keep a safe distance until after the finale, which goes off at 6:18 ET.



            In between we have five graded stakes including the marquee event of the summer, the $1 million Travers (G1).


            While Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom is on the sidelines, most of the other top three-year-olds will line up, including Preakness winner Shackleford, Belmont winner Ruler On Ice, Haskell Invitational winner Coil, and Jim Dandy winner Stay Thirsty.



            Last year’s champion two-year-old will also be in action, but not in the Travers.



            Uncle Mo is the 9/5 morning line favorite in the $250,000 King’s Bishop.



            The Todd Pletcher trainee came down with a liver ailment after his third in the Wood Memorial in April, scratching out of the Kentucky Derby just days before the Run for the Roses.



            The card also includes the $200,000 Ballston Spa (G2), $100,000 Victory Ride (G3), and the $250,000 Ballerina (G1).



            The King’s Bishop and Travers will both be televised on the VERSUS Network starting at 5:00 ET.



            To purchase my full card report for Saratoga and my Best Plays Report, which includes analysis, selections, fair odds, and wagering recommendations for today click here.



            Here is the opening from Saratoga to get our day off to a good start:



            SAR Race 1 Alw $62,000N1X (11:35 ET)

            #4 Wanstead 12/1

            #3 Global Power 7/2

            #1 Mineswept / #1a Shrewd One 3/1

            #12 Truelee Scrappin 8/1



            Analysis: #4 Wanstead was not much of a threat last out in a fourth place finish in his first start against winners where he raced wide much of the trip over a racing strip that was more favorable to inside speed. He was a good looking maiden winner two back going a mile in his second career start. The Benzel barn is having a quiet meeting, the former Pletcher assistant hitting with just one of his first 18 starters at the meet. He takes the hood off while picking up Dominguez. This guy still appears to have some room for improvement and has several talented sibs including Late Carson ($502K), Miner's Prize ($452K) and Carem Crescent ($352K). The barn is 3 for 9 (with a +ROI) taking the blinkers off and we should catch a decent price on this guy in a wide open start to the day.



            #3 Global Power stalked the early pace and finished up well to grab the runner up spot last out behind a gate to wire winner. Two runners have come out of the race to run back and they ran one-two in a Alw-1 race here on Aug. 13, sixth place finisher Quality Council getting the win. The extra half furlong should suit and this colt has come back with a trio of works since his last start for the Brown barn that is having another strong Spa meeting, hitting at a 31% clip.



            Wagering

            WIN: #4 to win at 6/1 or better.

            EX: 3,4 / 1,3,4,12

            TRI: 3,4 / 1,3,4,12 / 1,3,4,8,10,12



            Today's Featured Race of the Day from Saratoga:



            SAR Race 8 The Ballston Spa G2 (3:29 ET)

            #7 Aviate 4/1

            #3 Daveron 3/1

            #2 Romacaca 7/2

            #5 Mekong Melody 8/1



            Analysis: #7 Aviate won the Churchill Turf Distaff (G2) on Derby Day as our top pick in a good looking effort and her effort was flattered when three she beat came out of the race to win stakes in their next starts. She let us down as the beaten favorite in the Just a Game (G1) and then did not get much pace to run at in the Diana (G1) in a fifth place finish. There appears to be some pace in here which should set things up nicely for her late run and I am looking for the Mott filly to bounce back with a better effort here facing a bit easier.



            #3 Daveron comes in here having won three of her last four starts. last out when won the Penny Memorial at Philly in a sharp effort. The runner up in the race was Gitchee Goomie, who came back to finish second in the state bred Irish Linnet, and then won the Yaddo in her last outing. She won the Beaugay (G3) two back coming back off a 5 1/2 month layoff. The Motion barn has handled this gal well, landing in the exacta in all five starts since taking over from Clement. She looks very capable of winning right back here in her third start of the year.



            Wagering

            WIN: #7 to win at 3/1 or better.

            EX: 3,7 / 2,3,5,7

            TRI: 3,7 / 2,3,5,7 / 2,3,5,7,9



            Live Longshots:

            These are price plays for exotic players looking to find a couple of extra contenders to use in their trifecta and superfecta wagers. Or for those with smaller bankrolls, you might want to get in a small win-place wager.



            Saratoga

            R1: #4 Wanstead 12/1

            R1: #12 Truelee 8/1

              2011 Travers Stakes Betting Preview

              Haskell Invitational winner Coil is 3/1 to win the Travers Stakes.
              Horse racing fans know that the 142nd running of the Grade I, $1 million Travers Stakes is going to go a long way in determining the country’s best three-year-old at Saratoga Race Course Saturday. Post time for the event is expected to be at 2:45 p.m. (PT) and will be nationally-televised on NBC.

              A field of 10 runners is expected to make the 1 1/4-mile trip around the dirt oval, and includes two of three horses that won Triple Crown events earlier this year.

              Ruler on Ice (6/1) is currently the fourth choice according to the morning-line odds and will be racing out of the No. 4 post. He beat a field of 12 horses in the Belmont Stakes two starts back, only to finish third in the Grade I Haskell Invitational last time out on July 31.

              Jockey Jose Valdivia Jr. will be in the irons for the seventh consecutive race and the three-year-old out of Roman Ruler drilled five furlongs in 58.80 seconds on August 13, which happened to be the fastest workout of 28 at the distance at Monmouth Park.

              Shackleford (9/2) will break from the outside gate and will be making his third start since capturing the 2011 Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course on May 21. He came away with a 104 Beyer Speed Figure that day, but has failed to reach triple digits in his last two races.

              Trainer Dale Romans doesn’t expect his horse to have a problem in gaining the early lead from the 10-hole, as the other nine entrants don’t possess much early speed.

              Stay Thirsty (5/2) is the morning-line favorite and comes in with the highest Beyer Speed Figure (104) of any horse in the race. He posted that number winning the 1 1/8-mile Grade II Jim Dandy on this track by four lengths and will now stretch past that distance for the second time in his career.

              The son of Bernardini placed 12th in the Kentucky Derby and second in the Belmont Stakes when traveling at Saturday’s distance or longer in his career. Jockey Javier Castellano has been aboard since riding him in the third jewel of the Triple Crown.

              Coil (3/1) has won four of his last five and tallied a 96 Beyer Speed Figure in three consecutive races over that span. He overcame a slow start in beating a field of eight runners in the Haskell Invitational last time out and will break from the seventh post.

              Trainer Bob Baffert is hoping that his runner follows a similar path to his father Point Given, winning both the Haskell and Travers. Five horses have accomplished the feat since 1981.

              A potential long shot in the race is No. 1 Bowman’s Causeway, who races out of the red-hot barn of Chad Brown. He has sent off 51 runners at Saratoga this season and come away with 16 winners, which has resulted in a winning percentage of 31 percent.

              He will be ridden by Ramon Dominguez for the first time in his 10th career race, who is currently third in the jockey standings this season at Saratoga.

              Rain was falling in Saratoga Springs on Thursday, but Saturday's forecast is presently listing just a 20 percent chance of precipitation. Keep an eye on update weather reports with the entire East Coast area in the projected path of Hurricane Irene.

                Calgary Stampeders Battle Alouettes In CFL Betting

                Calgary’s McMahon Stadium will host two of the top Grey Cup contenders Saturday when the Montreal Alouettes visit the Stampeders. It’s the first of two meetings this season between squads that have won the last three CFL Championships and are a combined 84-37-1 since the beginning of the 2008 campaign.

                Kickoff is set for 1:00 p.m. (PT) with CFL betting lines showing Calgary a slight 1-point favorite on the Don Best odds screen. Saturday’s game total is 55 points.

                Calgary is presently nursing a slim half-game lead over Edmonton (5-3) in the West Division while the Alouettes trail Winnipeg (6-1) by a game in the East.

                Montreal and Calgary are each coming off a bye week, with the Stampeders the only West Division side to be idle in Week 8. The Als and Stamps also enter the contest with identical 5-2 records both straight up and against the spread.

                Having the week off was just what the doctor ordered for the Stampeders who were able to get a few of their injured starters healed up for this contest. Linebacker Juwan Simpson (knee) should return to action after missing Calgary’s previous two contests. Simpson is officially listed as questionable for Saturday’s game, but is expected to play.

                Their most recent action saw the Stamps roll to a 45-35 win at Saskatchewan in Week 7. Calgary jumped out to a 31-14 lead at the half before withstanding a second-half assault by the Roughriders. The Stampeders were 2½-point favorites and the final tally easily jumped the 54-point total.

                A perfect 4-0 on the CFL highway, Calgary has struggled at McMahon Stadium this campaign where the team has won just one of three. The Stampeders were tripped up by the Toronto Argonauts in the season opener, 23-21, and also dropped a 24-19 decision to Edmonton in Week 4.

                Calgary’s lone home win this season came in Week 6 when they dumped Hamilton, 32-20, the contest the second of what is currently a 3-game win streak.

                Montreal brings a 2-game winning streak into this match, the most recent victory a dominating performance at home in Week 7 over the Edmonton Eskimos, 27-4. The Larks stonewalled the Eskimos’ ground attack, holding Edmonton to -1 yard rushing in the triumph.

                A repeat of that defensive effort would prove huge against a Calgary team that ranks second in the CFL in rushing.

                Record-setting quarterback Anthony Calvillo had another big day for the Als, completing 19-of-33 passes for 261 yards and two scores. The two TD passes brought him to 400 for his illustrious career, most ever in CFL history and making him one of only four professional signal callers to reach the 400-TD plateau (Dan Marino, Brett Favre and Warren Moon).

                Montreal is only listing one injury of note for Saturday’s tilt. Defensive lineman JP Bekasiak is questionable with sore ribs.

                Home field was the secret recipe when the clubs met in 2010, splitting their two encounters with wins in front of the home crowds. Calgary trashed the Als in Week 14, 46-21, behind a 400-yard, 4-TD effort by quarterback Henry Burris. Montreal returned the favor a week later with a 46-19 thrashing of the Stamps.

                The Stampeders will travel to Montreal in Week 18 for the final clash between the two this regular season.
