Sunday's betting tips: Dempster on pitch count

WEATHER TO WATCH

It is going to be steamy in Washington, D.C. again on Sunday with temperatures rising to the high 90's. Before you jump on the over, note the wind is expected to blow inward toward home by game time at 10 mph.

WHO'S HOT

Under is 19-7 in Diamondbacks last 26 Sunday games
Angels are 8-1 in their last 9 games vs. a left-handed starter
Under is 6-0 in the last 6 meetings between the Twins and Rangers (prior to Saturday's game)
Athletics are 11-1 in their last 12 home games vs. a right-handed starter

WHO'S NOT

Astros are 4-20 in Jordan Lyles' last 24 starts
Mariners are 0-4 in their last 4 games with Jeff Nelson behind home plate
Red Sox are 2-11 in Lesters last 13 starts vs. a team with a winning record

KEY STAT

70 to 80 - That's the number of pitches Cubs starter Ryan Dempster will be limited to in his return to the mound after 16 days with a sore throwing shoulder. Dempster's 2.11 ERA would rank first in the National League if he had enough innings to qualify. The Cubs have the 26th ranked bullpen in MLB with a 4.56 ERA.

INJURY THAT SHOULD NOT BE OVERLOOKED

Kia Vaughn, center New York Liberty - Vaughn is the starting center for the Liberty and is questionable Sunday at home vs. San Antonio with a concussion. Vaughn averages 8.8 pts and 5.8 rebounds per game.

GAME OF THE DAY

Yankees vs. Red Sox (-115, 10)

NOTES AND TIPS

The final day before the All-Star game can be tricky and oftentimes strange. Manage your bankroll accordingly and remember that sometimes the best play is the one you don't make.

The home team is 6-1 (5-2 ATS) so far in the CFL. The Roughriders are 3-point underdogs in their home opener against Edmonton on Sunday.

Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

-- Major league doubleheaders are infrequent now; when they happen, a team can add a 26th player for that day only.

-- Carl Crawford has yet another injury; maybe the Red Sox should've made Theo Epstein take Crawford with him to Wrigleyville.

-- Boston only played Bronx Bombers three times in their first 82 games; they play 15 of their last 80 games against them.

-- Total of 1,066 players signed up to play on the first day of the World Series of Poker's Main Event. First round is usually divided up into four different days. Its an interesting experience seeing it in person.

-- Early line on the All-Star Game: AL, -$122, total 8.5.

-- 46-year old guy named Ronn Matt spit a cherry pit 69 feet Saturday to win the International Cherry Pit Spitting Championship in southwestern Michigan. Thats 23 yards. I really wish I was making that up.

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: AFC knowledge for a summer Sunday.........

Ravens-- Since '03, they're 27-9-2 vs spread as non-divisional home faves. Since '05, they're 3-10 vs spread as non-divisional road favorite.

Browns-- Re-incarnation of Browns are 1-12 SU in their first home game of season. Haven't ranked above #27 in rush defense since 2003 (#23).

Broncos-- Someone said they have a new QB? John Fox lost eight of his last nine home openers. Four of their five night games are in first eight weeks.

Texans-- Covered 12 of last 18 divisional home games. LY was first time in seven years they had positive TO ratio (+7). Five night games this year.

Colts-- New coach, new QB for team that in many ways will resemble an expansion team in '12 and thats not all bad. They better hope Luck is the answer under center, though, or else.

Jaguars-- Favorite is 22-10 vs spread in their games last two years: Jags are 7-1 in last eight games when favored. New owner, new coach; who is QB?

Jets-- Had 41 sacks the year before Ryan took over; have 32-40-35 sacks the last three years. 9-16 vs spread in game following last 25 losses.

Raiders-- Fourth HC in five years; that takes its toll. Over last decade, they are 15-34-2 vs spread in games with spread of 3 or less points.

Week 2

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

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

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

Streaking

Jon Niese, New York Mets (7-3, 3.35 ERA)

Niese has won three consecutive starts, allowing only four runs in 21 1/3 innings. The big lefty has pitched at least seven innings in four of his last five starts and walked more than one batter just once in his last six.

Chris Capuano, Los Angeles Dodgers (9-3, 2.62 ERA)

Capuano may not be heading to the All-Star Game, but he’s certainly pitching like he belongs. He has limited three of his last four opponents to just one run and has struck out 27 batters over that span. Capuano sits seventh in MLB starter money standings, having earned 7.65 units for his supporters.


Slumping

Roy Oswalt, Texas Rangers (2-1, 7.79 ERA)

Oswalt started OK with the Rangers, but has slipped since. He is coming off one of the worst outings of his entire career. The veteran allowed 11 runs (nine earned) in 4 2/3 innings during a loss to the White Sox. Before that he gave up five runs over six innings against Detroit. He has now yielded a whopping 26 hits over those two starts.

Chris Volstad, Chicago Cubs (0-7, 7.94 ERA)

It doesn’t look like almost two months in the minors did Volstad much good. In his first start since mid-May, he was smacked for six runs in just 4 1/3 innings in a loss at Atlanta. Volstad’s last win came way back on July 10, 2011.

MLB betting: Scouting the toughest second-half schedules
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You could be sitting around a crystal ball with Aladdin and still have no idea what lies ahead in the second half of the MLB season.

Nobody predicted that the Baltimore Orioles would be hanging around in the AL East this deep in the season and everybody left the St. Louis Cardinals for dead before they put together an incredible run to win the title last season.

There’s a lot to factor in when you’re trying to determine which teams have the toughest schedules. For example, if you go strictly by the numbers and look at remaining opponents’ current winning percentage, we could just list the entire AL East.

It’s easily the most competitive division in baseball, but what’s the fun in that? These are the three teams that face the toughest road in the second half.

All stats compiled before Thursday’s action.

Baltimore Orioles: 44-37, +13.70 units

The winning percentage of Baltimore’s remaining opponents (.515) is actually a touch lower than that of the Tampa Bay Rays (.522), but we need to take a look at the O’s considering they rank second in MLB money standings. Plus, their strength of schedule in games played to date (.524) tops the bigs.

The Orioles sit in second place in the division at five games back of the Yanks and don’t catch any breaks for the rest of the season. They have 42 road games compared to 39 home dates and finish the year with 12 of their last 18 games on the highway. It’s going to be vtough, but it’s worth noting the O’s have earned almost 12 of their units to date on the road.

Oakland Athletics: 41-42, +7.48

The A’s are in third place in the AL West, 9.5 games back of the Texas Rangers. They’re going to have a tough time cutting into that deficit. Oakland’s remaining opponents’ winning percentage checks in at .520 and the club will face a major grind at the end of the season.

The A’s have a 10-game road trip on the schedule at the end of September with stops in Detroit, New York and Texas. They then go home for a three-game set against the Mariners before getting another kick in the face with the Rangers coming to town for another trio of contests to end the season. Not looking good for A’s supporters.

New York Mets: 42-38, 11.29 units

The Mets’ remaining opponents check in with a .498 winning percentage, which is the highest among any playoff contenders in the National League. They are in a dogfight in the NL East, trailing the division-leading Nationals by 4.5 games.

New York will need to keep it together on a 11-game western road swing that spans from July 26 to Aug. 5. The Mets then finish the season with three games in Atlanta followed by three more in Miami.

MLB betting: Scouting the easiest second-half schedules
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the dog days of summer set in, it’s hard for MLB teams to put out their best effort every time they climb out of the dugout. That’s when a soft second-half schedule can really give teams a break.

Evaluating the schedules for the remainder of the season is hardly an exact science. Teams go through streaks and slumps, suffer major injures, and see big name players come and go around the trade deadline.

Still, some teams clearly face an easier road down the stretch than others. By the numbers, American League clubs generally face tougher schedules than that of the teams in the Senior Circuit because the AL is just better than the NL. It’s that simple.

With that in mind, here’s a look at three teams that face some of the easiest schedules in baseball as they try to secure their playoff spots.

Pittsburgh Pirates: 45-36, +17.32 units

The Pirates are running away with the MLB money standings, almost four units ahead of the second-place Baltimore Orioles, and it looks the Bucs could build on their booty. The Pirates’ remaining opponents own just a .459 winning percentage. They have 42 of their 81 remaining games at home, where they have pocketed better than 13 units with a 26-13 record.

The longest stretch they’re away from home is a 10-game set later this month, but they should be able to build some momentum early in that trip, visiting Houston for four games before playing three at Wrigley Field. They finish that swing with three more at Cincinnati and close out the season with six games at home.

San Francisco Giants: 45-37, +6.63 units

The Giants trail the Dodgers by just a half a game and will be looking to make some hay in the second half. Their remaining opponents own a .471 winning percentage.

San Francisco doesn’t spend more than seven straight games on the road for the rest of the year and the club has 10 straight home games before visiting the Padres and Dodgers to finish the season. The Giants will likely hold their own destiny in the pennant race with four series left against the Dodgers – two home, two away.

Chicago White Sox: 44-37, +5.73 units

The AL Central-leading White Sox have the easiest remaining schedule of any team in the American League. Chicago’s remaining opponents own a .497 winning percentage. The White Sox have been dominant on the road so far, going 23-16 as visitors to net more than 11 units.

They’ll need to keep that going and come out of the All-Star break hot with a stretch that sees them play 13 of 16 games on the road beginning July 13. If they ever get their game together at home, they’ll be really dangerous.
