Sunday’s betting tips: Foster a game-time decision

Who’s hot

NFL: The Lions were 5-0 ATS in their last five overall last season and 4-0 ATS in their last four against the NFC.

NFL: The over was 8-2 in the Jaguars’ last 10 overall last season.

NFL: The Falcons were 4-0 ATS in their last four road games last season and 7-2 ATS in their last nine overall.

MLB: The Cardinals are 8-3 in their last 11 overall and the under is 5-0 in their last five overall.

MLB: The Tigers are 4-0 in their last four home games and the over is 7-1 in their last eight overall.

WNBA: Indiana is 6-1 in its last seven home games and the over is 5-1 in its last six overall.

Who’s not

NFL: The Browns were 0-4 ATS in their last four overall, last four home games, and last four against the AFC last season.

MLB: The Padres are 3-13 in their last 16 overall.

MLB: The Red Sox are 1-5 in their last six overall and 1-4 in their last five road games.

WNBA: Phoenix is 1-4 ATS in its last five home games.

Key stat

0 – Number of times the Washington Redskins sacked Eli Manning in two games last season. Not surprisingly, the Giants won both contests. Not even Redskins’ defensive end Brian Orakpo could get to the quarterback. Orakpo has 19.5 sacks in two seasons, seventh most of anyone in the NFL in his first two years in the league since 2000.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Texans' running back Arian Foster continues to be the big injury story heading into Sunday of Week 1. Foster is officially listed as questionable and he confirmed on Friday that he is a game-time decision for Sunday's home date with Indianapolis. The former University of Tennessee star assured that he did not have pain "or any kind of hindrance" while running on Friday. According to the Houston Chronicle, though, Foster also said, "The coaches and I both know...if you rush back a hamstring it's going to bite you again, and it's going to keep biting you." Derrick Ward will get the start with Ben Tate coming off the bench if Foster cannot go.

Biggest game on the slate

Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens (-1, 36)

Notable quotable

“I'm supportive of Kerry Collins. I was never against Kerry Collins coming here. I think you guys or one guy, I'm not going to say who it is, kind of turned it around on me. Kerry's our guy, and we're going to rally behind him and play football.” – Indianapolis Colts’ wide receiver Reggie Wayne, who had previously expressed doubts when his team signed Collins in the wake of Peyton Manning’s neck problem. Collins will get the start at Houston on Sunday afternoon.

Tips and notes

The Phillies were once again without Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins in Saturday’s road game against Milwaukee. Utley recently sustained a concussion and Rollins is dealing with a sore groin. Neither one is expected to take the field on Sunday and Utley could be out until the middle of next week. The second baseman reportedly has no post-concussion symptoms, but Philadelphia is prepared to play it safe.

What's new? The Broncos do not have a running back rotation that is set in stone. Both Knowshon Moreno and Willis McGahee will be featured during Monday night's home game against Oakland. "We're going to roll them," offensive coordinator Mike McCoy told the Denver Post. "They're going to play, and if one of them is tired, the other one is going in. Then we'll just keep them going. Both of them are going to play plenty of snaps, but we're not going to worry about counting snaps with them." Sounds like Denver is once again going with whoever has the hot hand.

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

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

Streaking

Doug Fister, Detroit Tigers (7-13, 3.17 ERA)

The Tigers’ righty is 3-0 with a 0.91 ERA in his last four trips to the bump, most recently giving up only one run on four hits in eight innings of work versus the Indians. Fister recorded 13 strikeouts in a 4-2 win and has 31 Ks over his last four outings.

Jon Lester, Boston Red Sox (15-6, 2.93 ERA)

Lester is 4-0 in his last five starts, allowing one run or fewer in each of those outings. In his most recent appearance, the BoSox’s southpaw gave up only three hits over seven innings in a 14-0 blowout against Toronto. He’s 10-4 with a career 3.65 ERA versus Tampa Bay.

Slumping

Wade LeBlanc, San Diego Padres (2-5, 5.33 ERA)

LeBlanc is 0-3 with a 7.20 ERA in his last three starts for the Padres. The left-hander gave up four runs on eight hits in just five innings of work during a 6-4 loss to San Francisco his last time on the mound. He’s 1-3 with an ERA just under 6.00 on the road and posts similar career numbers versus Arizona, going 1-2 with a 5.76 ERA against the Diamondbacks.

Esmil Rogers, Colorado Rockies (6-5, 6.26 ERA)

Rogers has lost three straight outings and is 0-4 in his last five starts. The Rockies’ righty was beat up bad in his most recent appearance, getting knocked around for six earned runs on eight hits – including two home runs – in only 5 1-3 innings.

Sunday Night Baseball: Chicago Cubs at New York Mets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chicago Cubs at New York Mets

The Chicago Cubs visit New York to take on the Mets for ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball on the 10-year anniversary of 9/11.

MORE MONEY MORE PROBLEMS

The Cubs and Mets rank sixth and seventh, respectively, in MLB in total payroll.

The Cubs’ $125 million has bought them a 62-82 record entering Saturday and fifth place in the NL Central. The Mets’ $118 million hasn’t gotten them too much more - a 71-73 record and third place in the NL East.

The high payrolls and recent struggles of the Cubs cost former Chicago GM Jim Hendry and former New York Mets' GM Omar Minaya their jobs in the past 11 months.

SAME CHURCH DIFFERENT PEWS

The Cubs and Mets are both eliminated from playoff contention and over 20 games out of first place. But the teams aren’t exactly in the same boat.

The Cubs appear ready to pack it in and set their October tee times. They have lost 12 of their last 19. The Mets have gone 11-6 in their last 17 games, including a walk-off 5-4 win over the Cubs Friday night. Justin Turner won the game with a two-out double in the ninth inning.

“Regardless of where you’re at (in the standings), those are always exciting,” Mets' outfielder Jason Bay said after the game.

The Cubs, though, bounced back on Saturday and scored two in the ninth for a come-from-behind 5-4 victory.

ACE IN THE HOLE

Throughout the Cubs’ struggles in August and early September, former Tampa Bay Ray Matt Garza continues to be a bright spot in the rotation.

The Cubs have won four of his last five starts and Garza’s 8-10 record is no indication of how effective he’s been on the mound. He has a 3.52 ERA this season and 171 strikeouts and boast a 2.77 ERA in his last four outings.

“We’re gonna need that guy,” Cubs' manager Mike Quade said of Garza. “We want that guy to give us eight (innings) once in a while, maybe nine. I think he’s a horse, I really do. I think he’s capable of better, I think we’ll see better.”

OVER THE HILL ON THE HILL

The Mets will counter with 40-year-old Miguel Batista. He has been on seven different teams in his career, including two separate stints with the Washington Nationals 10 years apart.

He was let go by St. Louis in April after struggling early on. The Mets signed him to a minor-league deal in July and he made his first start with club September 1. Batista faced the Marlins in his first two starts as a Met, going six innings in both games and allowing a combined three earned runs. New York won both starts.

IN NEED OF RELIEF

Sunday night’s result could hinge largely on the bullpens. Cubs' closer Carlos Marmol has blown a league-worst nine saves this season. Last weekend, he allowed former teammate Derek Lee to blast a grand slam off him to turn a 5-3 Cubs ninth-inning lead into a 7-5 Pirates win.

“You don’t want a closer who’s afraid to grab the ball, and he’s not,” Garza said of Marmol. “He wants the ball every chance he gets. It’s a rough year, what are you going to do?”

Thanks to strong setup man Sean Marshall, the Cubs bullpen actually ranks 13th in baseball with a 3.60 collective ERA. The Mets' bullpen is much worse overall with a 4.16 ERA - 27th in the majors.

NOTEWORTHY NUMBERS

- Cubs are 3-7 in last nine road games.
- Cubs are 7-22 in last 29 Sunday games.
- Mets are 1-7 in their last eight Sunday games.
- Mets are 5-2 in the last six meetings versus the Cubs at Citi Field.

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

Los Angeles Dodgers at San Francisco Giants (-123, 6.5)

The Giants got edged by Los Angeles on Friday, but they have still won six of eight in the head-to-head series this season as of Saturday evening. When anyone other Clayton Kershaw takes the mound for the Dodgers, San Francisco is 6-0.

San Fran should have a good chance of improving on that mark with Madison Bumgarner on tap for a Sunday start. The southpaw owns a modest 10-12 record but he boasts a solid 3.37 ERA.

"He's so mature beyond his years," manager Bruce Bochy told the San Francisco Chronicle after Bumgarner's latest outing. "Going back to last year, pitching in the World Series, he's really grown up as a pitcher. He's not getting rattled anymore, or unraveled, when things go bad."

To say things have not gone bad of late would be an understatement. Bumgarner has turned in quality starts in six of his last seven appearances, including three in a row. In his last three has compiled 24 2-3 innings of work while allowing only 14 hits and three runs to go along with 26 strikeouts.

Pick: Giants

Cleveland Indians at Chicago White Sox (-123, 8.5)

Zach Stewart had underwhelmed since going over to Chicago from Toronto at the trade deadline, but that all changed on Monday. Stewart was perfect through seven innings at Minnesota and finished with a one-hitter, striking out nine in a 4-0 shutout.

"He didn't really have stuff that was overpowering," said Danny Valencia, the only Minnesota hitter to find any luck against Stewart. "He was just locating really well. He had all his pitches going, and he was throwing everything for a strike."

Speaking of throwing strikes, Cleveland starter Ubaldo Jiminez is finally starting to find the zone. Jiminez was inconsistent at best over his first four outings as an Indian this summer but he has delivered three straight quality starts. However, in a start at Chicago on August 16, he lasted just 4 2-3 innings and allowed five runs on eight hits.

The White Sox, meanwhile, have showed signs of emerging from a slumping by winning four of their last six games as of Saturday evening. Cleveland, on the other hand, has dropped four of five.

Pick: White Sox

Sunday's six-pack

-- Tampa Bay Rays are now only 4.5 games behind Boston in race for AL Wild Card; Angels are only 1.5 games behind Texas in AL West.

-- In his last seven starts, Cliff Lee has allowed four runs in 56.2 IP. It says here he's more than earned his money.

-- Mariners have score total of two runs in Michael Pineda's last three starts; they had two hits Saturday, both solo home runs.

-- Doesn't happen often, but Colorado rookie Alex White was winning pitcher Saturday, despite giving up five homers against the Reds.

-- Red-hot Dodgers are only 2.5 games behind the Giants; race isn't for a playoff spot, but teams are rivals. Rough September for the Giants.

-- Arizona held a 10-year reunion of its 2001 World Champs Saturday; they capped it off by tying game with two runs in 9th, then winning it in the 10th. Magical 2011 season for the Diamondbacks.

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

Sunday's List of 13: Wrapping up a college football Saturday

13) The last 1:12 of the Michigan-Notre Dame game was great theater, as long as you're not a Notre Dame fan. 114,804 fans paid to see an exciting but not great game- there were eight turnovers and Michigan averaged just under 31 yards a completion. Not the best defense, but for tension and excitement and bad throwback jerseys, this game was fun to watch.

12) As far as Wolverine QB Denard Robinson goes, we need a bowl game with him and Robert Griffin III of Baylor, just for the hell of it.

11) Then there was the bizarre end of the Utah-USC game, which is going to take a little time to explain. Utah tried a 41-yard FG to tie the game with 0:11 left to play, but it was blocked, and USC ran the ball back for a TD that put them ahead 23-14 with no time left on the clock.

One small problem, there was a flag on the USC bench for celebrating too much, so the referee and the Versus TV people went off their air with the final score 17-14, USC. The betting line? Trojans, minus-8.5 points. You get the idea that there might have been some chaos in Las Vegas, eh?

10) The kicker is that a little while after the game, the Pac-10 comes out and says that the celebration rule that nullifies a TD only applies to the guys who are IN THE GAME, so the celebration penalty on substitutes didn't nullify the TD, and USC was officially declared a 23-14 winner.

As far as I know, and please correct me if I'm wrong, Vegas paid out on a 17-14 USC final., which made Utah backers the winners. Must have been quite a scene in the sportsbooks.

9) Oh lost in all of this, South Carolina beat Georgia 45-42 and Auburn upset Mississppi State 41-34, stopping the Bulldogs at the 1-foot line on the last play of the game. The SEC doesn't lack for drama, either. I mean, South Carolina scored two defensive TDs and had a 68-yard TD run by a defensive end on a fake punt, and they only won by three points. Damn.

8) Yes, Melvin Ingram is a defensive end for the Gamecocks; not only did he score on the fake punt, he scored a clinching TD on defense with 3:12 left to play, and he recovered Georgia's onside kick with 2:15 left. Yes, he is a defensive end on the hands team. Go figure.

7) Army ran the ball for 403 yards against San Diego State; Rutgers had a +5 turnover ratio against North Carolina. They both lost. Weird day.

6) Colorado's Paul Richardson caught 11 passes for 284 yards and couple of TDs as he did his best Jerry Rice imitation in the Buffs' 36-33 OT loss to the Cal Bears, who whacked Colorado 52-7 last year. You get the idea that the Colorado coaches will be good recruiters, and in a couple years, they're going to be a very tough out in the Pac-10.

5) Penn State completed just 12 of 39 passes in an ugly loss to Alabama; they're now 1-10 vs spread in their last 11 games as an underdog. It begs the question, it just has to, at what point does recruiting get hurt because the head coach is going to be 85 in December? Joe Paterno is an icon, one of the best coaches ever. Who decides when it is time for him to retire?

4) UCLA pulled away from San Jose State late, winning 27-17, but they allowed 202 rushing yards, the 8th time in their last nine games they've given up 150+ yards in the ground. Thats a very glaring weakness.

3) ESPN.com had this headline on a story from Friday's night's game out in the desert: "Arizona State stuns #21 Missouri." Maybe its me, but I'm expecting freakin' ESPN to know that Arizona State was favored to win that game by 10 points. Only stunning outcome was if ASU lost.

2) Biggest upset of the day was New Mexico State (+20) upsetting the Golden Gophers 28-21 in Minnesota. Gophers' coach Kill had a seizure on the field in the last minute of the game, brought on by dehydration. He was in stable condition Saturday night. We wish him well.

1) Ten years ago today our country was stunned by the hideous acts that took thousands of innocent lives. You can't forget that day, you just hope it never happens again, and that the world will become a more sane place. We pray for those who lost loved ones, and hope they stay strong.

Armadillo's Write-Up

Sunday, September 11

Hamilton (6-3) @ Montreal (5-4)-- Alouettes are 5-0 when they allow 26 or less points, 0-4 when they allow more. TigerCats upset Montreal 44-21 a week ago for second time this season; Hamilton outrushed the Als 144-75 and had three sacks- they're 5-2 as an underdog this year, 3-2 on road. Als lost four of last six games after 0-3 start; they're 2-2 as home fave, with home wins by 4-23-23 points. Last six Hamilton games went over the total, as have seven of nine Montreal games.

Saskatchewan (2-7) @ Winnipeg (7-2)-- Roughriders held Winnipeg to 57 rushing yards in 27-7 upset (+3) win last week, as they took lot of frustration out from 1-7 start that resulted in coaching change. Dogs are 7-2 vs spread in Bomber games this season, with Winnipeg 2-2 when the favorite- they're 4-1 at home, with wins by 6-5-12-3 points. Six of last seven Roughrider games, seven of nine Winnipeg games stayed under. It is odd that Riders' two wins are against teams with winning records.
