Friday's betting tips: Louisville not cashing at home

Who’s hot

MLB: The Twins are 6-2 in their last eight games following an off day.

MLB: The Cubs are 9-4 in their last 13 road games against a right-handed starter.

NCAAF: Arizona State is 5-0-1 ATS in its last six games against winning teams.

CFL: Calgary is 5-0 ATS in its last five games following a loss.

WNBA: Indiana is 6-2 ATS in its last eight games with New York.

Who’s not

MLB: The Red Sox are 0-5 in their last five series openers.

MLB: The Indians are 2-6 in Jeanmar Gomez’s last eight road starts.

NCAAF: Louisville is 2-8 ATS in its last 10 home games.

CFL: Edmonton is 3-10 ATS in its last 13 September games.

WNBA: Los Angeles is 2-10 ATS in its last 12 games against losing teams.

Injury not to be overlooked

The Dodgers have shut down All-Star outfielder Andre Ethier, who’s dealt with lingering knee pain, for the season. He could have surgery soon. Ethier was hitting .292 with 11 home runs, 30 doubles and 62 RBIs.

Key stat

42 – That’s how many save chances Detroit's Jose Valverde has converted this season. Namely, all of them. Valverde tossed a perfect ninth on Wednesday to tie Todd Jones’ single-season team record of 42 saves. Dating to last season, Valverde has converted 44 straight save opportunities, the fourth-longest streak in history.

Game of the day

No. 19 Missouri Tigers at No. 23 Arizona State Sun Devils (-8, 52.5)

Notable quotable

"The hamstring is coming along. It feels really good. All signs point to me playing on Sunday." – Houston RB Arian Foster to Yahoo! Sports Radio. The Texans are laying 8.5 to 9 points against the Colts, who’ll be quarterbacked by Kerry Collins instead of Peyton Manning.

Notes and tips

The total for USC’s home game on Saturday against Utah is 51, same as it was for last week’s USC home game against Minnesota. USC won 19-17, an easy win for “under” bettors. But it’s not only the defenses that might be holding scoring down. The field at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum is uneven and will be painted green on a weekly basis to hide numerous areas of dirt and dead spots, according to ESPN.com. A music festival featuring Rage Against the Machine, Muse and Rise Against was held at the Coliseum on July 30, five weeks before the opener. The Coliseum did not have enough time to replace the field, so the Trojans are stuck with it all season.

The Cowboys’ offensive line is in bad shape heading into Sunday night's opener at the N.Y. Jets, who are favored by 5. Rookie RT Tyron Smith hurt his knee Wednesday and did not practice Thursday. The O-line already is breaking in a seventh-round pick at left guard, Bill Nagy, and a new center, Phil Costa. If Smith, a first-round pick, cannot play, Jeremy Parnell could very well be his replacement. Parnell has never played in an NFL game, having previously been on the Saints’ practice squad.

Not that they needed any help, but the Phillies activated shortstop Jimmy Rollins from the DL. He was not in the starting lineup Thursday as Philly opened a four-game series at Milwaukee in a possible NLCS preview. Rollins, who had a strained right groin, will be eased back. The 2007 NL MVP, Rollins hasn’t played since Aug. 21. He’s hitting .268 with 14 homers.

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


Friday's List of 13: College football teams that caught my eye

This is in no way a ranking, just some teams who caught my eye in the last week…….
13) Mississippi State—This is highest they’ve been ranked in 11 years; they’re expected to win at rebuilding Auburn this week, but winning on the Plains has never been easy for these Bulldogs.

12) Baylor—I don’t give a rat’s ass about the Heisman Trophy, but I’ll say this: Baylor QB Robert Griffin III is the most fun player in America to watch. Not even close.

11) Penn State—Last ten times they were an underdog, Lions are 1-9 against the spread. They get a chance to make some national news with Alabama visiting this week.

10) South Florida—Skip Holtz teams play better as the underdog, but last week’s win makes them the hunted instead of the hunter. How will they react against spunky underdog Ball State?

9) Colorado hosts Cal this week, but it isn’t their first Pac-10 game; this game was scheduled before the Buffs jumped leagues, so it’s a non-league game between new conference rivals. Go figure.

8) TCU lost 50-48 in Waco last week, now visits Air Force, where their last two visits both ended 20-17 (teams split). Tricky game for TCU.

7) Supposedly, Northern Illinois has one of the best OLs in America; they’re a TD favorite at Kansas, with a game vs mighty Wisconsin on tap next week. Cinderella-type BCS Busters don’t get caught looking ahead. We’ll see about these Huskies.

6) Washington State hammered some hapless I-AA team last week; now they’re a 14-point favorite over downtrodden UNLV. If Wazzu is going to show improvement in the Pac-12 and energize their fanbase a little, this is a game they need to win big.

5) Washington—Huskies struggled with former SMU QB Bo Levi Mitchell last week, beating I-AA Eastern Washington in close game; now they get Hawai’i’s Run-and-shoot the week after the Warriors beat Colorado. Hawai’i looked good last week; this is an interesting game.

4) Memphis—This is a horrible time in history to have an abysmal football team, as conferences scramble to find teams—Tigers would be an attractive hoop school, but when you’re a 14-point dog at Arkansas State, no football league is coming after you.

3) Georgia—Mark Richt needs to beat South Carolina this week, or the Mike Leach-to-Athens rumors are going to start up.

2) Utah—First-ever Pac-10 game is at USC, where OC Norm Chow used to work. Trojans struggled to beat Minnesota last week—this could be interesting.

1) Michigan—First-ever home night game for the Wolverines. Should be quite an atmosphere, with Notre Dame in the house. Both sides hoping for no lightning storms. Brian Kelly is hoping he doesn’t have to curse his receivers out after every series.

Week 11

Canadian Bacon: CFL Week 11 odds and picks
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Calgary Stampeders at Edmonton Eskimos (+3, 51)

Embarrassed at home by the Eskimos last weekend, the Stampeders will do everything to avoid another humiliating chapter in the Battle for Alberta.

Fortunately for Calgary backers, the Stamps have proven better on the road (4-4) than at home (2-3) this season.

Henri Burris, who’s coming off his worst game of the year, will need to redeem himself. He will definitely benefit from the return of OT Edwin Harrison.

Harrison should do a better job of protecting Burris’ blind side than rookie Tony Washington, who couldn’t stop anyone and got caught five times for illegal procedure in his last two games.

Pick: Stampeders


Toronto Argonauts at B.C. Lions (-7.5, 49)

Steven Jyles takes over at QB after the predictable dismissal of Cleo Lemon, but is it already too late for the Argonauts?

Lemon’s departure, after he threw a fit in the Argos' dressing room at halftime of Friday’s game, could be a source of tension on a team not known for unity and harmony.

Jim Barker won the coach of the year award last season for the job he did in Toronto, but he’s got to be wondering if he’ll even end the season as the Argos’ head coach.

Pick: Lions


Hamilton Tiger Cats at Montreal Alouettes (-5, 57)

The Alouettes are still plagued with injuries; it’s obvious that the chemistry that made this team so tough to beat over the last three seasons has been seriously put to the test by each loss.

But if this team still has a bit of pride, it will bounce back this week in front of the fans at Percival-Molson Stadium.

It is the second time this year that the Alouettes are on a two-game losing streak. Anthony Calvillo, although shut down by Hamilton’s defense, remains one of the most efficient QBs in the CFL with a TD-INT ratio of 17-4.

You have to think that coach Marc Trestman will run the ball more often with Brandon Whitaker, who leads all rushers. The attack becomes somewhat predictable, despite all of his tricky patterns on offense.

The return of DT Eric Wilson should slow down former Alouette Avon Cobourne, who rushed for 102 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 19 carries in the Tiger Cats' win.

Pick: Alouettes


Saskatchewan Roughriders at Winnipeg Blue Bombers (-5.5, 47.5)

The Roughriders are better than their 1-7 records indicates. Although it will be tough in Winnipeg, they should prevail again against a Blue Bombers team that is starting to show some weaknesses and vulnerability.

The acquisition of Dallas Baker and the return of Adam Fantuz (released by the Chicago Bears last week) will give QB Darian Durant two prime targets.

Defensively, the Blue Bombers have become more predictable after dominating the league in sacks. They only have one in their last two games.

Pick: Roughriders

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

STREAKERS

Edwin Jackson, St. Louis Cardinals (11-9, 3.78 ERA)

The midseason acquisition has been brilliant over his last three starts, going 2-1 with a 1.80 ERA. In fact, he’s given up two earned runs or less in five of his previous six starts. Jackson fanned eight Reds in seven innings last time out.

Clayton Kershaw, Los Angeles Dodgers (17-5, 2.45)

The 23-year-old lefty is coming off a tough loss in Atlanta, but over his last five starts he’s allowed just four earned runs. Batters are hitting .214 against Kershaw, who ranks second in the NL in ERA.


SLUMPERS

John Lackey, Boston Red Sox (12-11, 6.11 ERA)

Batters are hitting .302 against Lackey, who’s given up 14 earned runs over his last three starts covering 18 2/3 innings. He’s lost three of his last four decisions. At least he won't have to face the Rangers again until possibly the playoffs.

Brett Cecil, Toronto Blue Jays (4-8, 4.60 ERA)

The 25-year-old lefty has been battered for 13 earned runs in his last three starts covering 18 1/3 innings. Toronto has lost his last four starts, and six of the last seven. Cecil has given up at least one homer in 14 of his 17 starts this year.

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

Los Angeles Dodgers at San Francisco Giants (-122, 5.5)

The Dodgers are playing terrific baseball. They’ve won 13 out of 16 after taking the opener of a scheduled doubleheader 7-4 in Washington on Thursday. (The nightcap was rained out).

L.A. will send ace Clayton Kershaw against San Francisco ace Tim Lincecum on Friday.

While the Giants are 8-3 in Lincecum’s last 11 starts against the Dodgers, he hasn’t been dominant lately. Lincecum is 1-2 with a 4.74 ERA over his last three starts.

Kershaw, on the other hand, has given up four earned runs over his last five starts.

The Dodgers are 6-1 in their last seven games as an underdog. The Giants have dropped five of their last seven home games.

Pick: Dodgers


Houston Astros at Washington Nationals (-103, 8.5)

The reeling Nationals will give a second start on Friday to Tom Milone, who was called up from the minors a week ago.

In Milone’s first start, he gave up four earned runs and six hits to the Mets over 4 1/3 innings.

Washington has lost 12 of 15 overall, and six of its last eight home games.

Houston’s Bud Norris has a more than respectable 3.83 ERA. In his only career start against the Nationals, Norris allowed two runs over 6 2/3 innings.

Pick: Astros
