Wednesday’s betting tips: Utley set to return for Phillies?

Weather to watch

Cincinnati Reds at San Francisco Giants – 14 mph winds expected to blow out to centerfield.

Who’s hot

MLB: Over is 25-12-1 in Homer Bailey's last 38 starts for Cincinnati.

MLB: Home team is 36-16 in Tony Randazzo’s last 52 games behind home plate. He's set to work Wednesday's Rays-Royals matchup in K.C.

MLB: Athletics are 10-3 in their last 13 overall.

WNBA: Minnesota Lynx are 17-6 ATS in their last 23 home games.

Who’s not

MLB: Mets are 3-7 in Jon Niese’s last 10 road starts.

MLB: Dodgers are 5-11 in the last 16 meetings in San Francisco.

MLB: Pirates are 6-20 in the last 26 meetings in Philadelphia.

WNBA: Chicago Sky are 1-5 ATS in their last six home games.

Key stat

2,623 - Spain have completed 2623 passes so far at Euro 2012, more than double as many as Portugal (1159). With the club’s patient ball-possession tactics, Spain has won its last six knockout games at major tournaments, outscoring the opposition 7-0.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Candice Dupree, Phoenix Mercury – Dupree is questionable for Wednesday’s game with a left knee contusion and she may not be the only member of the Mercury on the sideline. Phoenix has had to play its last two games with just eight dressed players thanks to other injuries to backup center Nakia Sanford, All-Star Diana Taurasi and forward Penny Taylor.

Game of the day

Portugal +320 vs. Spain -125, Draw +225

Notable quotable

"You've got to be able to walk and talk winning. Our guys are walking better. They're talking better. They believe in things they can't see, but there has been some increments of tangible evidence. We can play this game." Manager Clint Hurdle on the play of his Pittsburgh Pirates this season. The Pirates went into Tuesday’s action two games off the pace in the NL Central while earning 10.78 units for their supporters.

Notes and tips

Portugal will be without striker Helder Postiga Wednesday after he suffered a hamstring injury in the club’s 1-0 win over Czech Republic. Hugo Almeida came on for him and is expected to be in the starting 11 Wednesday.

The Texas Rangers placed starting pitcher Colby Lewis on the 15-day disabled list on Tuesday because of tendinitis in his right forearm. Lewis is one of four Rangers pitchers on the DL. The others are Derek Holland (elbow fatigue), Neftali Feliz (elbow inflammation), and Alexi Ogando (groin). Lewis is 6-6 with a 3.51 ERA this season. In his most recent start on Saturday, he gave up eight runs on 12 hits, both season-highs, in four innings.

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Chase Utley could return to the lineup as early as Wednesday. He has been out of the lineup since the beginning of the season with cartilage degeneration in his left knee and is expected to make his final rehab start for Lehigh Valley Tuesday before possibly joining the Phillies Wednesday. "There are some people who have given up on this team," he told reporters. "I'll be the first one to tell you that I definitely have not given up on myself and our guys have not given up on this year.”

A four-team playoff to determine a national champion in college football will become a reality in the 2014 season after an oversight committee of university presidents on Tuesday approved the conference commissioners proposal in Washington. The plan involves a 12-year deal, so this format will be in place though the 2025 season.

The Houston Rockets made another move designed to ultimately acquire a franchise building block, sending small forward Chase Budinger to the Minnesota Timberwolves for the 18th overall pick in Thursday's draft. The Rockets are loading up on assets with a goal of acquiring Dwight Howard from the Orlando Magic.

Armadillo: Wednesday's six-pack

-- Instead of firing managers, why don't two struggling teams just trade managers? Say, Jim Tracy to Miami for Ozzie Guillen. Would save $$$.

-- Marlins lost 17 of their last 20 games and look like a dead team.

-- Albert Pujols has 34 RBI in his last 38 games. Good hitters just hit.

-- 12,411 loyalists saw the A's-Mariners game at Safeco. Total of six runs were scored in the first two series games. Bad hitters don't hit.

-- Its an understatement to say Dodgers miss Matt Kemp; they're 1-7 in last eight games- their NL West lead is down to a single game.

-- Hard to believe baseball won't go to some kind of a replay challenge system next season. Everything but balls and strikes. Its time.

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

Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud.........

13) On May 2, AJ Burnett gave up 12 runs/12 hits in 2.2 forgettable innings in St Louis; in nine starts since then, he is 7-0, 1.94 and is a shoo-in for the All-Star Game. Pittsburgh is 38-35 and in the playoff hunt. They’ll need to hit better to make the playoffs.

12) Not sure why, but the Giants-Nationals game on July 4 is an 11am first pitch, which makes it 8am first pitch for everyone watching out west. Washington could be imitating the Red Sox, who play an 11am home game every Patriots’ Day, a state holiday in Massachusetts.

11) Offense is down, which means defense needs to be up, since runs are at a premium now; haven’t been real impressed from what I’ve seen of Dodger SS Dee Gordon, who too often tries for the spectacular play instead of the simple one. He’s very young, but the Dodgers are in first place. To win a championship, you definitely need solid defense up the middle.

On the other hand, have been very impressed by the Simmons kid who is the new shortstop in Atlanta. Very solid defensively.

10) Toronto Blue Jays’ pitchers have been decimated by injury, and when I say decimated I mean they just signed 49-year old Jamie Moyer to a minor league contract. Apparently Dave Stieb and Jerry Garvin weren’t available. Signing Moyer is the personification of desperation.

9) Seth Smith’s homer was only run in Oakland’s 1-0 win Monday night; last time the A’s won 1-0 with a homer the only run was 9/12/04, when Erubiel Durazo homered for the Green and Gold.

8) LSU football coach Les Miles was in Omaha with his daughter for the Olympic swimming trials; he wound up behind the plate for the last game of the College World Series, tweeting his support for SEC rival South Carolina. Arizona wound up unseating the two-time champ Gamecocks. Miles is one of my heroes; a quirky, enthusiastic guy.

7) Weird situation in Chapel Hill, where a QB named Drew Davis will walk-on and try to make the Tar Heels’ squad. Drew is Butch Davis’ son. UNC fired Butch Davis last year after all kinds of NCAA-type violations hit the fan. Carolina's new coach is Larry Fedora, the old Southern Miss coach.

6) Houston Rockets traded Chase Budinger to Minnesota for the 18th pick in Thursday’s draft, as they try and stockpile 1st-round picks in hopes of landing Dwight Howard in a blockbuster trade. Not sure what good Houston’s first-round picks are if they get Howard and have a good team.

5) Time flies; hard to believe this will be Houston WR Andre Johnson’s 10th year in the NFL already. Texans are expected to be very good this season. First NFL exhibition game is only 40 days away.

4) People at Make-a-Wish Foundation say pro wrestler Jon Cena is most generous with his time, having granted over 300 wishes so far. Apparently a week doesn’t go by without Cena brightening the day of some sick child. Good for him.

3) If you know someone who's a Portland Trailblazer fan and they seem a little crabby this week, keep in mind the NBA Draft is Thursday and bad things have happened to Portland at draft time. They once took Sam Bowie ahead of Michsel Jordan, and Greg Oden over Kevin Durant. Whoops.

2) Now that college football is finally going to have a playoff, voices will get loud for football players to get paid. Problem with that is this: if you pay male athletes, the females will wrap themselves in Title IX and demand to get paid too, even though no one gives a rat's ass about watching any of their sports. Hell, no one watches most of the men's sports.

A free college education should be enough, but this playoff is going to free up a boatload of money, and money tend$ to make people greedy.

1) If the baseball playoffs started Wednesday morning, these would be the 10 teams involved:
NL: Nationals-Reds-Dodgers; (Atlanta-San Francisco)
AL: Bronx-White Sox-Rangers; (Baltimore-Angels)

Public opinion: Bettors back Oswalt in his second start

Public consensus percentages and odds current as of 8 p.m. ET, Tuesday.

MLB:

Detroit Tigers at Texas Rangers (-150, N/A)

Early bettors are lining up to support Roy Oswalt in his second start with the Rangers. He threw 6 2/3 solid innings in his debut with Texas, allowing one run on nine hits while striking out six and walking one in a 4-1 win over Colorado. The Rangers had also won four of their last five home games against the Tigers heading into Tuesday’s action.

Consensus: Rangers, 68 percent

WNBA:

Indiana Fever at Chicago Sky (-2.5, 144.5)

After stringing together six straight wins, the Chicago Sky have lost two in a row as they get set to host Indiana. The Sky are just 1-3 against the spread at home this season and the Fever have covered in five of the last six meetings between the two teams. Still, bettors are coming in on the home team with this short line.

Consensus: Sky, 60 percent

McDonald is coming off the first complete game of his career, allowing six hits and one earned run while striking out five Minnesota Twins in a 9-1 blowout win. He has helped Pittsburgh to victories in four of his last five starts, yielding fewer than three runs in each of those efforts. The Pirates average just 3.6 runs in his starts this year.

Jason Hammel, Baltimore Orioles (8-2, 2.61 ERA)

Hammel tied a career-high 10 strikeouts in a 2-1 win over Washington last week. He heads into Wednesday’s date with the Angels without allowing an earned run in 19 innings and has helped the Orioles win six of his last seven trips to the hill. He faces off against an equally hot Jered Weaver.

Slumping

Jeff Samardzija, Chicago Cubs (5-6, 4.34 ERA)

Apart from a couple of pitches, Samardzija was pretty pleased with his last outing, a 6-1 loss to the Diamondbacks. He lasted five innings and gave up five runs, but four of those came on a two-run homer and a two-run double. The big righty now has just one win in his last seven starts.

Josh Outman, Colorado Rockies (0-3, 8.64 ERA)

Outman has allowed at least four runs in four of his five starts and gave up five runs in 4 2/3 innings in a no-decision against Texas. He fired 92 pitches in that one, the most he has thrown in a start all year. Outman owns a 9.00 ERA and has allowed four homers in his last three.
