Saturday’s betting tips: Griffin chirps retiring Tito Ortiz

Weather to watch

Kansas City Royals at Detroit Tigers – 12 mph winds expected to blow out to right-centerfield.

Who’s hot

MLB: Brewers are 25-8 in Zack Greinke’s last 33 starts.

MLB: Rockies were 10-3 in their last 13 meetings in Washington heading into Friday's action.

CFL: Over is 14-3-1 in the Stampeders' last 18 road games.

WNBA: Mercury are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 vs. Eastern Conference.

Who’s not

MLB: The under is 5-14-1 in Brian O'Nora's last 20 games behind home plate.He's scheduled to work the Dodgers-Diamondbacks game.

MLB: Marlins are 3-14 in their last 17 vs. a team with a winning record.

CFL: Argonauts are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 home games.

WNBA: Dream are 2-6 ATS in their last eight road games.

Key stat

22 – Seattle Mariners starter Jason Vargas has allowed a career-high 22 home runs already this season. He takes the hill Saturday against the Oakland Athletics in his 19th start of the year.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Dustin Pedroia, Boston Red Sox - The club will reportedly place second baseman Dustin Pedroia on the disabled list Friday night. Pedroia suffered a jammed right thumb during Wednesday's game in Oakland. Tests showed that the injury was different than the torn adductor muscle he suffered in late May. Overall this season, he has a .266 batting average with six home runs with 33 RBIs.

Game of the day

San Francisco Giants at Pittsburgh Pirates (-115, N/A)

Notable quotable

“A lot of people ask me, they say ‘Forrest, it’s Tito’s retirement fight. If you lose to Tito, are you going to retire?’ If I lose to Tito, I’m going to retire from life. Seriously.” – Forrest Griffin on his fight with Tito Ortiz at Saturday’s UFC 148. Oddsmakers have Griffin as a -335 favorite against Ortiz (+240).

Notes and tips

The Calgary Stampeders will see a familiar face on the opposite sideline when they visit Toronto Saturday. Chris Jones was Calgary’s defensive coordinator for four seasons before signing on with the Argos as their defensive boss shortly after the Grey Cup. The move ruffled some feathers and the Stamps ended up taking a $5,000 fine for failing to ask for permission to talk to Jones. The Argos are set as a 3.5-point underdog.

As a +350 underdog to Serena Williams in Saturday’s final, Agnieszka Radwanska may have to be close to perfect to upset Williams, the -650 favorite. However, in Radwanska’s last four matches, she has just four unforced errors.

After losing seven of their first eight games of the season, the Seattle Storm are ripping through the WNBA. The Storm have won and covered in six of their last seven, thanks in large part to veteran Sue Bird. She was averaging only about 10 points a game earlier this year but is putting up 17.2 points and 4.5 assists per game in the club’s last six wins. The Storm are set as 6.5-point underdogs at Los Angeles Saturday.

Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack

-- Ray Allen signs with the Miami Heat, as veterans try to jump on teams they think can win a title. He'll look weird in that uniform.

-- Eldrick Woods/Phil Mickelson played in West Virginia this week for an unknown reason, but they didn't stay long. They both missed the cut.

-- There are only 15 guys trying out for the 12 spots on our Olympic basketball team. Chris Paul left practice with an injured thumb Friday.

-- Hey its July 7 and the Pirates are in first place. Interesting.......

-- Bronx-Boston game Friday was first game since August '05 where both teams had 5+ runs after the first inning.

-- Chris Carter's walk-off HR in the 11th inning gave the gritty A's a 4-2 win over Seattle, getting Oakland back to .500, at 42-42. Excellent.

Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: Random stuff with the weekend here.........

Saturday's List of 13: Random stuff with the weekend here.........
13) OK, so I’m watching the old Bill Murray movie Meatballs the other night, and it reminded me of the stupid Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating contest they have (for real) on Coney Island in Brooklyn every July 4.

I looked up the two actors who played Fink and the Stomach in the hot dog eating contest in the movie, and it seems that the guy who played Fink died when he was 51, the fellow who played The Stomach died when he was 54.

Instead of investigating concussions, Roger Goodell should be looking into competitive eating as a potential problem for society.

12) As an aside, Peter Hume, the guy who played The Stomach, passed away in Mechanicville, about 15 miles northeast of Albany. Someone told me he had been an assistant high school football coach around here before his passing, maybe at Stillwater HS?

11) The right field wall at PNC Park in Pittsburgh is 21 feet high, because the great Roberto Clemente played RF for the Pirates, and he wore #21.

10) I don’t know a whole lot about tennis, but it seems strange that before Friday, Roger Federer had played Novak Djokovic 26 times, but never at Wimbledon; you figure as good as they both are, their paths would’ve crossed on a grass surface before this.

9) Former Giants/Alabama/Bucs’ coach Ray Perkins is 70 years old now, but he is back in coaching, working as head coach at Jones County JC in Mississippi. The coaching bug can be very hard to shake.

8) Kevin Youkilis drove in 11 runs in his first 11 games for the White Sox; four of those 11 RBI put the Pale Hose ahead in that game. Meanwhile, Will Middlebrooks tweaked his hamstring and Nick Punto is manning the hot corner in Beantown.

7) Only 14 of the Red Sox’ last 79 games are against teams that currently have losing records.

6) David Wright’s walk-off hit Thursday was the 7th of his career, but his first since 2008.

5) Group of young fellas from Meadville, PA went down to Dallas last week and played in the national 14U volleyball tournament, finishing 7th out of 27 teams, which is damn good, considering that volleyball is a very serious sport out west and in the warmer climates.

I am told there is a border town called Texarkana, on the Texas/Arkansas border; it has two high schools, one in each state., The teams from the Texas school are the Longhorns, the Arkansas school the Razorbacks. Their annual game must be a lot of fun.

4) University of Denver’s basketball team has four starters back from a 22-win team LY, so they should be good this upcoming season, but their future is uncertain because they bolted from Sun Belt to the WAC, and the WAC is falling apart, mainly due to football defections. Pioneers would like to go to the WCC, but that league doesn’t appear interested. Big Sky Conference makes sense geographically, but since when does that matter?

3) What were the odds that on July 6, Cliff Lee would have one win and the Giants would be 5-12 in Tim Lincecum’s starts?

2) When Mark Trumbo bats in the HR Derby Monday night, his pitcher will be a former minor league ballplayer named Mike Ashman, who played here in Albany in 1983, then went on to a career as a college coach.

He’s thrown Angels’ BP since 2000 (he pitched to Vernon Wells in the ’10 HR Derby) and once played all nine positions in a minor league game. Best part is that he’s a good guy, so it’ll be fun to see him get some national exposure Monday night.

1) One person I’d definitely like to meet someday is Bill James, the baseball numbers guru who rose from complete obscurity 30 years ago to become a polarizing and extremely important figure in the world of baseball.

I have a ton of his books and it would just be an honor to meet him and pick his brain for a little while.

Public opinion: Bettors fading Diamondbacks

Consensus percentages and odds current as of 8 p.m. ET, Friday.

MLB:

Los Angeles Dodgers at Arizona Diamondbacks (-155, 8.5)

Heading into Friday’s action, the Diamondbacks had lost six straight and their supporters were eight units lighter than they were at the beginning of the season. Arizona was held to two or fewer runs in four of those games.

Consensus: Dodgers, 61 percent

CFL:

Calgary Stampeders at Toronto Argonauts (+3, 50.5)

Last week Calgary quarterback Drew Tate threw for 299 yards and a touchdown. But while he was also picked off twice, it’s already clear that he can make this offense move after just five starts. Meanwhile, Toronto was sloppy in last week’s loss and was penalized 18 times to the tune of 118 yards.

Consensus: Stampeders, 55 percent

WNBA:

Seattle Storm at Los Angeles Sparks (-6.5, 149)

Seattle has finally found its scoring touch and has won and covered in five of its last six. Los Angeles has been hot-and-cold this season but the one constant has been high scores in Sparks games. Each of their last eight contests have played over the total and that’s where early bettors are siding here.

NASCAR betting: Coke Zero 400 preview and odds

It’s the mid-summer wildcard race that marks the halfway point of the NASCAR Sprint Cup season. Saturday night’s Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway is the 18th of 36 scheduled points races in 2012.

Being a restrictor plate race - one of only two tracks on the circuit that use them - Daytona is known as an unpredictable event that can lead to some wild racing and uncertain finishes.

It’s Florida. It’s summer. It’s hot and no one is hotter in the series right now than Brad Keselowski. This week’s favorite is coming off his third win of the season at Kentucky last week, but most importantly one of his three wins came at the last restrictor plate race at Talladega in May. Keselowski was one of the big-name drivers who were caught up in a crash here in February when the season-opening Daytona 500 ran under the lights on a Monday night.

Keselowski returns 10th in the standings and wants to not only make up for that disappointment in the season opener but pick up another win to help cement him in the Chase, which starts in just eight races from this Saturday night.

“The three wins are nice, and it means that we are pretty safe in regards to making the Chase, but we are focused on staying in the Top 10 so that we can use the bonus point,” Keselowski told reporters. “I want to be the guy with the most wins and inside the Top 10 and I want to look forward to making sure that we stay inside the Top 10. Hopefully we can climb up a few more spots to be safe. But wins and being in the Top 10, that’s all that matters.”

Kasey Kahne looks to have overcome some early season struggles. Like Keselowski he was swept up in a crash here in February but was fourth at Talladega and finished a strong second last week at Kentucky. Unlike Keselowski, Kahne is outside the top 12 in the points in 14th and needs another win to help climb upwards in the standings.

“The restrictor-plate races are always unpredictable,” Kahne said. “We had a lot of speed in the (Daytona) 500, but got caught in a wreck at the end. We fell back at Talladega and still got a top-five. You have to make the right decisions and a lot of it is luck, but I know the Hendrick Motorsports guys will give me a fast car and a good chance to get to the front.”

Matt Kenseth won the season opening Daytona 500. He’s since announced that he will be leaving Roush-Fenway Racing after this season, making this the last time he will race at Daytona with the only team he’s ever raced with the in Sprint Cup Series since 1999. The races at Daytona have not been swept in a season for thirty years primarily due to the changing conditions between February and July. But while odds may seem against him, this year’s Daytona 500 was rescheduled for the first time ever and was run completely under the lights, something that will happen Saturday night. He was also a very strong third at Talladega in May.

“I looked forward to going to Talladega more so than any plate race I have ever looked forward to in my career with as well as we ran at Daytona and how fast our cars were in February,” Kenseth said. “I feel the same way about Daytona this weekend and I am looking forward to getting down there. At Talladega, I felt we had the fastest car in the race and dominated the race as much as you can, but I felt like I messed that up at the end when Greg (Biffle) and I somehow got separated. I have been agonizing over that since Talladega, but I am looking forward to getting some redemption this weekend and returning to Daytona coming off that win in the 500. Our Roush Fords have been fast and we have been able to pass, so I am going back this weekend hoping it will be the same as our earlier superspeedway results this year.”

Party Crasher: Don’t count out Tony Stewart. Stewart is coming off a forgettable race at Kentucky last week where he finished 32nd due to ignition issues. However, Stewart is the most successful recent winner of the Coke Zero 400. Stewart won the race in 2005, 2006 and 2009 and will no doubt be looking for a rebound Saturday night.

Makin' Canadian bacon: Week 2 CFL preview and picks
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The East Division was supposed to be better this year. The West Division made it clear in Week 1 that they’re going to have to prove it.

The West went 4-0 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) and now the East comes limping into Week 2 licking its wounds.

Calgary Stampeders vs. Toronto Argonauts (4, 48.5)

Canadian running back Jon Cornish bowled his way to 86 yards and two touchdowns in a convincing win over Montreal last week. Not sure the Stamps are going to have the same success against an Argos defense that likes to play physical and allowed just 15 points in a four-point loss last week.

Don’t count on there being too many games this season where the Argos allow fewer than 20 points and end up losing the game with Ricky Ray running the offense.

Pick: Toronto +4

Edmonton Eskimos vs. Saskatchewan Roughriders (-4.5, 48)

There might not be any team that wants to win this week as badly as the Roughriders. They went 0-10 against Western opponents last season and desperately hope to end that trend in their home opener this season.

Saskatchewan seemed to easily rack up 43 points on Hamilton last week and QB Darian Durant was named Offensive Player of the Week with four TDs and a whack of yards. Meanwhile, the Eskies struggled in the post-Ricky Ray era on offense against Toronto and they know they’re in for a battle in Regina.

Pick: Saskatchewan

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

Streaking

Jered Weaver, Los Angeles Angels (9-1, 2.13 ERA)

Weaver is working on a 0.42 ERA in his three starts since coming off the DL. He isn’t wasting any pitches either. He fired just 78 pitches in a six-inning shutout of the Giants, tossed 96 in 6 2/3 innings of one-run ball against the Giants, then needed 107 to blank the Indians over seven innings. His 2.13 ERA is the best in the bigs.

James McDonald, Pittsburgh Pirates (8-3, 2.45 ERA)

The Pirates have won six of McDonald’s last seven turns through the rotation, with him allowing more than three runs just once over that stretch. The Pirates cruised to an 11-2 win in his last outing, but he did have some control issues. He walked five and gave up a homer in seven innings.

Slumping

Doug Fister, Detroit Tigers (2-8, 4.61 ERA)

Fister hasn’t made it out of the fifth inning in consecutive starts, allowing 14 runs over 8 1/3 innings. The Rangers cranked three homers off him and he yielded eight earned runs before getting the hook on June 27 and then gave up six earned runs in four innings against the Twins. He could be still struggling with a rib muscle strain that forced him to the DL in late May.

Carlos Zambrano, Miami Marlins (4-6, 4.14 ERA)

The Marlins have lost each of Big Z’s last five trips to the mound, though he has been better in his last few outings. He most recently held the Brewers to three runs over six innings in Miami’s 6-5 loss, but walks remain an issue. He handed out four free passes to first in that one and has walked 22 batters in his last five.
