Wednesday’s betting tips: Yanks could have Rivera back this year

Who’s hot

MLS: Vancouver is 3-3-3 so far on the road this year.

WNBA: Seattle is 7-2 ATS in its last nine.

WNBA: San Antonio Silver Stars are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games as a favorite.

Who’s not

MLS: Toronto is just 2-11-4 this season.

WNBA: Washington Mystics are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games overall.

WNBA: Chicago Sky are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 home games.

Key stat

-15 – Toronto FC owns the worst goal differential in MLS at -15. Toronto has just 18 goals for and 33 against.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Mariano Rivera, New York Yankees – A report in the New York Post indicates that the Yankees could have their closer back on the hill sometime this season. The report indicates that Rivera only suffered a partial tear in the ACL of his left knee earlier this year.

Game of the day

Atlanta Dream at Seattle Storm (-6, 144.5)

Notable quotable

"You always try to heat up a rivalry. We've definitely created one over the past couple seasons against Toronto, and that's a good thing. Any time we can get up for the games and perform well in a rivalry setting, the better it is for everyone, including the fans. We just have to make sure we're on the right side of the result this time." – Vancouver Whitecaps captain Jay DeMerit about Wednesday’s MLS matchup against Toronto FC. Toronto downed Vancouver in the Amway Canadian championship back in May. Toronto is set at +125 with the draw at +210 and a Vancouver win at +195.

Notes and tips

New York Mets' pitcher Dillon Gee will be placed on the 15-day disabled list after a blood clot was found in the artery in his right shoulder. Gee was taken to the hospital in New York after experiencing numbness in his fingers and was scheduled to undergo several tests including an angiogram and MRI on Monday when the clot was discovered. Gee, 26, is 6-7 with a 4.10 ERA this season and 21-15 in his career. He was scheduled to pitch in one of the opening games this weekend Atlanta. The best-case scenario for the Mets would be Gee missing only one start. Because he pitched July 7, the move made retroactively makes him eligible to return July 23.

The Atlanta Braves plan to start veteran right-hander Ben Sheets in Sunday's series finale against the New York Mets. It will be the first big-league start for Sheets since July 19, 2010. Sheets, 33, has undergone two elbow surgeries and last pitched in 2010 with the Oakland Athletics. He had his best years with the Milwaukee Brewers where he was a four-time All-Star. He has a 90-92 record with a 3.79 earned run average.

The New York Knicks have agreed to a contract to re-sign guard J.R. Smith to a two-year deal worth $5.6 million. The first year of the deal is guaranteed and he holds a player option for 2013-14. Smith averaged 12.5 points per game last season.

The Calgary Stampeders are set as 6-point underdogs at Montreal on Thursday. The Stamps will be forced to start backup quarterback Kevin Glenn after starter Drew Tate suffered a shoulder in jury last week.

***********

Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Random thoughts at All-Star break.........

13) Every All-Star Game should have a DH, no matter where they play the game. No one wants to ee a pitcher hit in an All-Star Game. Ever.

12) If I ran ESPN, one of my priorities this summer would be to get Bruce Pearl under contract as a college basketball analyst. The former Tennessee coach will be excellent on TV; smart, very good talker. A natural.

11) Alabama opened as a 13-point favorite over Michigan in the opener at Jerry World on Labor Day weekend; game has been bet down to 10.5.

10) Joe Buck thinks the Royals are getting better; here's when you'll know they're really getting better- when Bruce Chen isn't an Opening Day starter.

9) Speaking of Kansas City, under is 16-2-1 in the Chiefs' home openers the last nineteen years.

8) Mark McGwire hit a walk-off homer for the A's in the '88 World Series, off of Jay Howell, I think, but I've never seen a replay of it. Seen the damn Kirk Gibson walk-off homer 500, 600 times. Outstanding.

7) Steve Jobs wasn't a college graduate, and he did pretty well........

6) Neither is JR Smith, and he'll make $34,146 for every game the Knicks play next season. Is this a great country or what?

5) Further evidence of America's greatness: Iowa gave Fran McCaffery, its basketball coach, a 7-year contract worth $1.6M a year. Imagine what he will get if he ever brings Iowa to the NCAA tournament?

Iowa better make sure assistant coach/recruiter Andrew Francis doesn't go anywhere; he's been a huge help to McCaffery, both at Siena and Iowa.

4) Coolest thing I've seen on TV this week; ESPN had the four Presidents, who "race" at Washington National games, running around the compound at Bristol this week. Who started the race?

Former Jet coach Herm Edwards, an excellent addition for ESPN.

3) Robinson Cano is the first guy to get blanked in the HR Derby since '09, when Brandon Inge didn't hit any. Now I'm glad Inge is on the A's, he's been a big help, but how in the name of Freddie Patek was he in a HR Derby?

2) Best part of any All-Star Game is the pre-game introductions, to see the faces of the guys getting introduced for the first time. Good stuff.

1) NBA salary cap for this season is $58M, with luxury tax threshold set at $70.3M. Knicks already have $82M committed........for 2015. Yikes.

Public opinion: Bettors still on board San Antonio's surge

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

WNBA:

San Antonio Silver Stars at Chicago Sky (+3, 149.5)

While the Minnesota Lynx have stumbled over the past couple of weeks, the Silver Stars are making a major charge for the top of the Western Conference. Heading into Tuesday’s action, San Antonio was one game behind the second-place Los Angeles Sparks and two games behind the Lynx.

The Silver Stars have also covered in 13 of their 16 games this season and face a Chicago club that has covered just twice in its last 10 home games. With San Antonio playing over the total in 16 of its last 21, about 58 percent of early bettors were betting over the 149.5-point total.

This one is a matinee affair, scheduled to tip at 12:30 ET.

Consensus: Silver Stars, 68 percent

Six teams books don't want to win the World Series

The St. Louis Cardinals' improbable run to a World Series burned books for some lofty paydays last fall.

The Cardinals, who snuck into the National League Wild Card spot thanks to an amazing run down the stretch, knocked off the favored Philadelphia Phillies, NL Central-winning Milwaukee Brewers, and downed the Texas Rangers in seven games en route to cashing World Series futures tickets as large as 500-1.

And, at the midway point of 2012 season, St. Louis has books on edge again. The Cardinals, sitting third in the NL Central, are among a handful of clubs that could reach deep into the bookmakers’ pockets if they win the World Series.

Here’s a look at St. Louis and five other teams books don’t want to see win the World Series this October:

St. Louis Cardinals

The Cardinals don’t have the tantalizing price they did late into last season, but books had them as high as 35-1 to win the World Series earlier this year. Action on St. Louis has driven that down to 12-1, which is where the club opened the World Series futures back in the winter.

“They’re a quality team and have kind of underachieved as well,” Jay Kornegay, executive director of the race and sports book for the LVH, told Covers. “They have a loyal following no matter where you go and have a history of support in the futures book.”

Los Angeles Dodgers

The Dodgers exploded out of the gate this April, forcing books to rapidly adjust their World Series odds as bet after bet came in on Los Angeles. The Dodgers opened the season as big as 75-1 to win the Fall Classic and are currently priced at 20-1 after injuries took their toll on the team’s superstars. However, those missing pieces haven’t slowed action on L.A.

“That was the one team they started betting and kept taking them as the Dodgers kept winning,” Jimmy Vaccaro, oddsmaker for Lucky’s Race and Sports Book, told Covers. “Everything else is looking pretty good. But the Dodgers would be a big hit.”

Toronto Blue Jays

Heading into the 2012 campaign, the Blue Jays had a quiet buzz about them among MLB sharps. An improved bullpen and a power-packed lineup, Toronto took its share of World Series bets and is still available as large as 75-1 in Las Vegas. It seems Canadian baseball bettors had faith in the nation’s team as well, flooding one online book with Jays money.

“With a large Canadian clientele, we are always loaded up on Toronto teams, and the Jays are always popular,” Aron Wattleworth, of bet365.com, told Covers. “They play in the toughest division in baseball and while it’s unlikely that Toronto wins the (AL East), they are in the thick of the wild card race.”

Chicago Cubs

OK, so the sportsbooks aren’t really sweating this one. The Cubs are terrible, sunken to the bottom of the National League with 33-52 record at the break. But that record – or years of futility – don’t register with baseball fans on Chicago’s north side. The Cubbies continue to be one of the most heavily bet World Series futures, available as high as 1000-1 after opening at 40-1.

“They bet all that money, Cubs fans… can you believe it?,” laughs Kornegay. “We took most of the action when they went to 500-1. But you never know. VCU, it’s happened before.”

Los Angeles Angels

The Angels drew a ton of futures money when they signed Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson this winter. Los Angeles to win the World Series was available as large as 20-1 but Halos money has dropped those prices to as low as +650 with some shops currently dealing L.A. at +1200. The Angels are second in the AL West and have the inside track for the Wild Card.

“Action has been picking up on them again more recently,” says Wattleworth. “Obviously, it’s possible that they get in via the division winner or the wild card, but the wild card race is currently very tight, so it’s not too bad a position to be in.”

Pittsburgh Pirates

The Bucs have been making bucks for Pittsburgh faithful, earning close to 19 units en route to first place in the NL Central at the break. Pirates fans could toss a hefty futures payday on top of those profits if Pittsburgh can win the World Series. The Pirates opened as 200-1 long shots with most of the money coming in on them at 100-1. They’re currently listed at 25-1.

“A few people jumped on that gravy train,” Kornegay says of the Pirates’ opening odds. “We’ve taken some bets, but not a significant amount. The Cubs winning would dim the lights, but not so much the Pirates.”

What are the odds? Biggest MLB money makers

This week’s MLB All-Star break marks the halfway point of the 162-game regular season, offering a perfect opportunity to take a look which teams have provided the best return on investment so far.

While a few of the preseason favorites, such as the New York Yankees in the American League and the San Francisco Giants in the National League, have healthy returns on the moneyline, the top of the list is led by four upstarts that have far exceeded everyone’s expectations.

The following is a look at each of the four teams in terms of the preseason and current odds for each to win their respective pennant and World Series along with their current return on the moneyline:

New York Mets

The Mets were the consensus pick to finish last in the NL East this season. They were 40-1 long shots to win the NL Pennant and 80-1 long shots to win the World Series. They are currently third in the division at 46-40 and 4.5 games in back of Washington for the lead.

New York has had its odds cut in half and is now at 22-1 to win the NL and 40-1 to win it all. The Mets overall return on the moneyline is 10.05 units through 86 games, making them the fourth-most profitable team in the league to wager on.

Washington Nationals

The third-most profitable team are the Nationals, who have vaulted to the lead in the NL East with an overall record of 49-34. Their return on the moneyline in these 83 games is a healthy 10.66 units.

The Nationals opened the season at 15-1 to win the NL Pennant and are now one of three favorites at 5-1, along with the Giants and Cincinnati. Washington’s odds to win the World Series started at 30-1 and are now 12-1.

Baltimore Orioles

Moving to the American League, the team with the second-best return so far is the Baltimore Orioles at 12.37 units. They have given up some major ground to the Yankees over the past month or so, but they are still 45-40 overall.

The Orioles had the steepest odds at 75-1 to win the AL Pennant and were 150-1 long shots to win it all. They are now at 18-1 to win the AL and 40-1 to win the World Series.

Pittsburgh Pirates

The team with the best return on the moneyline by far through the first half is the Pittsburgh Pirates at 18.87 units. They are currently at the top of the NL Central by one game with an overall record of 48-37 and showing little signs of letting up with a 10-2 record in their last 12 games.

The Pirates opened at 100-1 to win the World Series and 40-1 to win the NL. They are still 60-1 long shots to win it all and at 22-1 to win the NL, which offers some tremendous value if you have the confidence they can continue winning over the next three months.
