Saturday betting tips: Rift in Ticats locker room?

WHO's HOT

MLB: Diamondbacks are 7-1 in their last 8 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. Ryan Dempster's WHIP is 0.80.

MLB: Over is 21-6 in Phillies' last 27 road games.

WHO'S NOT

MLS: FC Dallas has yet to win on the road this season. They are 0-7-1 and play at Colorado on Saturday.

MLB: Nationals are 14-3 in Gio Gonzalez's last 17 starts

KEY STAT

20 - The number of losses the Boston Red Sox suffered in starts by Jon Lester and Josh Beckett, the two hurlers expected to be the staff aces this season.

GAME OF THE DAY

Toronto Argos vs. Hamilton Ti-Cats (-3.5, 56)

NOTABLE QUOTABLE

On trouble in the Hamilton Tiger-Cats' dressing room after an 0-2 start to the season:

“I’m not going to tell you that there’s major problems in that locker room but they are certainly starting,” Darren Gill, who represents several Ticats told Team 990 Radio this week. “George Cortez is not known as a players’ coach and that’s been known from day one. He’s not brought the veterans on his side and it’s made it very difficult for him to try and get that team on the right page.”

Quarterback Henry Burris said there was "no stock" in Gill's comments. Hamilton is a 3.5-point home favorite vs. Toronto Saturday night.

TIPS AND NOTES

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch is reporting the Cardinals "should have all their prospective position players active for only the third game all season" this weekend, possibly Saturday. First baseman Lance Berkman has been out since late May after having surgery on his right knee and the team expects he'll return over the weekend.

According to the Courier-Post, the Phillies are on pace to become the first team in major league history to lose 90 games just one season after winning 100. The Phillies are 13 games below .500 heading into the weekend after winning a franchise record 102 games last year.

The Edmonton Eskimos' struggling offense will be without one of its most reliable receivers against B.C. on Saturday. Slotback Adarius Bowman tore his ACL and MCL in last week's game. He had over 1,0000 yards and four TDs last year and 145 yards and nine catches through two games this year.

Public opinion: Saturday's biggest consensus bets

MLB

San Diego Padres at Los Angeles Dodgers (-133, 7)

The Dogers limped into the All-Star break after getting swept by the Diamondbacks. Now, Los Angeles – with Matt Kemp expected back in action – looks to find its winning ways versus the Padres, who followed six straight wins with a three-game skid before the break.

Consensus: Los Angeles – 66 percent

CFL

B.C. Lions at Saskatchewan Roughriders (+3, 52.5)

The defending Grey Cup champs come to the always-insane Mosaic Stadium, where they’ve gone 7-2 ATS in their last nine trips to Saskatchewan. The Riders are coming off a nice win over rival Edmonton while the Lions edged Hamilton by three points in Week 2.

Consensus: British Columbia – 59 percent

NASCAR betting: Lenox Tools 301 preview and odds

It’s the summer time and no one is hotter heading into Sunday’s Lenox Tools 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway than Tony Stewart. Stewart is fresh of his third win of the season at Daytona last week and is looking to add to that win total this week.

History is on Stewart’s side in the coming weeks. Twenty-four of his 47 career Sprint Cup wins have come between June 1 and the September race in Richmond, just eight events from Sunday. He was second in this race last year and won in the fall, the last time the series visited here.

“Loudon was awfully good for us last year,” Stewart told reporters. “To start 1-2 and finish 1-2 in this race last year, and then to come back in the fall and have Ryan (Newman) win the pole again and for us to win the race, it really doesn’t get much better than that. When you run that well someplace, you love coming back. We had a dream weekend last July at New Hampshire and, really, a dream year. Now, we’ll just try and duplicate it.”

Stewart’s teammate Ryan Newman was the winner of the race here last summer. He is fighting for the Wild Card berth in the Chase. Newman has a win this season making him eligible for the Wild Card and coming off a fifth place finish last week at Daytona is looking to add to his win total. Five winners have started from the pole here, the most recent of those was Newman who started out front and finished there last year.

“You can’t really be overaggressive at this racetrack. It’s kind of a combination of patience and aggressiveness. You want to take what the car will give you because the track is flat,” Newman said. “It’s just a matter of feeling that razor-blade-edge of grip and getting everything you can and I’ve been successful at it there. It’s kind of clicked with me since the beginning. I really like the racetrack and obviously know how to drive it, which is a big part of it. It’s a good place to start up front because it’s a short race, and it’s not the easiest place to pass.”

Clint Bowyer is currently tenth in the standings and on the bubble to make the Chase. Coming off his surprise win on the road course at Sonoma a few weeks ago, he was seventh in the standings. Bowyer is looking to make up ground and this week the odds are with him to do just that. New Hampshire is one of Bowyer’s best tracks. He has two wins here, the most recent in 2010 and is the only repeat winner in the last nine races having led 222 laps in route to victory in 2007.

“When you go to certain race tracks as a racer, there's just certain places you take to better than others,” Bowyer said. “That's certainly been one of the places for me. We probably should have won a lot more races than just two Cup races there. I mean, we've dominated a few Truck races and some Nationwide races, but just never could get everything to fall our way. That being said, it's hard to get things to go your way 100 percent. It's one of the biggest races of the year for us.”

Party Crasher: Don’t count out Brad Keselowski. Keselowski was second here in the fall and like Stewart, has also been a summer performer with four of his seven wins – including three in 2011 when he qualified for the Chase as a Wild Card – coming during the June-August portion of the calendar.

Bottom Line: Hendrick Motorsports has won eight races at New Hampshire, more than any other organization. The deepest in the field that a New Hampshire race winner started was 38th, that being Jeff Burton in 1999. There have been five winners who started from the pole. The last race winner to win from the pole was Ryan Newman last season.

Week 3

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Makin' Canadian bacon: Week 3 CFL preview and picks
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So much for all that talk of the East being the punching bag of the CFL after Week 1. At least for bettors.

Eastern Division teams covered the spread in both meetings against the West last week while the other two games featured inter-divisional clashes. It was a complete flip-flop on the over/under also last week when the over went 3-1, compared to the week before when the under went 3-1.

On to this week’s matchups.

B.C. at Saskatchewan (+3, 54)

The Roughriders are the only team to have covered the spread in both of their games so far in 2012, which is part of the reason they’re only giving a field goal to the defending Grey Cup champs.

The other reason is that Sasky has looked just plain good in decisive wins over Hamilton and Edmonton. Saskatchewan’s defense has surrendered just 13.85 points per game over its last seven games dating back to last year – which is kind of incredible for the CFL. The under cashed six times over that span so that’s worth a look.

While that’s all well and good, B.C. has been something of a nemesis for Sasky bettors in recent seasons and the Lions have now covered in the past five meetings.

Pick: B.C. -3


Toronto at Hamilton (-3.5, 54.5)

Toronto tried its best to lose last week’s game against Calgary, blowing a 15-point, third quarter lead to allow the Stamps to come back and tie the game. And if this were last year’s Argos, they probably would have lost the game.

But this year’s Argos battled back to win on a field goal as the final seconds clicked off the clock, showing fans their investment in Ray brings hope for the future.

Hamilton, who also invested in a new QB this offseason (Henry Burris), isn’t quite seeing the same promise in the early going. The Ti-Cats are 0-2 and their defense has allowed 82 points through two games. Now they’re giving away more than a field goal to Toronto’s league-leading QB in passing yards.

Pick: Toronto

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

Streaking

Gio Gonzalez , Washington Nationals (12-3, 2.92 ERA)

Gonzalez has won his last four starts and the Nats have won 14 of his 17 trips to the mound this season overall. He’s 7-1 on the road, where he’ll be on Saturday against Miami. The lefty is the third biggest money winner for bettors this season behind only R.A. Dickey and A.J. Burnett.

Mike Leake, Cincinnati Reds (3-6, 4.01 ERA)

After starting the year 0-5 in his first six starts, Leake has only taken a loss in one of his past 10 outings. Unfortunately, his record is only 3-1 during that span. His ERA is 1.88 over his past three starts with a WHIP of 0.88.


Slumping

Aaron Laffey, Toronto Blue Jays (0-1, 2.67 ERA)

The lefty Laffey hasn’t had much luck lately with the Jays. Due to multiple injuries in the starting rotation, Laffey has been moved to an opening role and has allowed just five earned runs in 18 innings in three starts. Unfortunately, he’s not getting much run support and the Jays lost all three games. The 27 year old only tosses in the mid-80s but he can pick his spots and might provide some value if Toronto can get him some scoring help.

Tim Lincecum, San Francisco Giants (3-10, 6.42 ERA)

Lincecum has pretty much been in a slump all season. But Saturday’s start is different. The Giants are putting a leash on him and have said if he doesn’t have a decent game Saturday, they’ll likely bench him for his next scheduled start. Tough times for Timmy Tim Super Freak.

Best MLB second-half over/under bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Philadelphia Phillies’ chaotic first half of the season has left them with the best over mark in baseball at 53-31-3. Injuries to key pitchers and underperforming arms have helped MLB bettors take advantage of the Phillies’ skewed totals.

On the other side of the number, the Oakland Athletics hit the break as the top under play in the big leagues, posting a 31-52-3 over/under mark. A meek offense, which sits near the bottom of most statistical categories, and surprising efforts on the mound get the credit for those payouts.

The funny thing is, the Phillies and A’s aren’t known for their current positions. Since 2007, Philadelphia has been one of the better under bets while Oakland has leaned toward the over.

If you’re searching for consistency among the totals during the second half of the MLB schedule, these six teams are your best bets:

Best over bets in the second half of the season since 2007

New York Mets (187-158-16 over/under)

The Mets have been the most consistent over play during the dog days over the past five seasons and appear on track for another solid run for fans of the over. New York went into the break as the second-best over bet in 2012, boasting a 49-33-4 over/under record, and was an over machine following the break last summer, finishing the year with a 44-25-2 over/under mark.

San Diego Padres (184-160-13 over/under)

San Diego is near the bottom of the money list, however, has leaned towards the over with a 43-41-3 over/under count – most notably 24-17-2 over/under on the road. With an offense that ranks among the worst in baseball each year, the Padres’ totals are always on the slim side but it appears the summer heat helps juice those bats enough to finish on the other side of the number. They went 40-27-3 over/under following the break in 2011.

New York Yankees (182-167-17 over/under)

The Bronx Bombers live up to their nickname in the back half of the sked. Thanks to an ocean-deep lineup with big bats at just about every spot, New York is averaging 4.85 runs per game and ranks first in home runs with 134 this season. Oddsmakers inflate their home totals because of the home-run factory known as new Yankee Stadium but with the pitching staff in shambles, opponents should be able to touch up New York for a few more runs in July, August and September.


Best under bets in the second half of the season since 2007

Cleveland Indians (158-189-16 over/under)

The Tribe surprised in the first half of the season, hanging tough in the competitive AL Central. Cleveland’s pitching hasn’t been that sharp and a recent offensive outburst has led to a 42-39-4 over/under record, including a 7-3 over/under count in its last 10 games before the break. However, the Indians are the most consistent second-half under play in baseball over the past five years including a 28-45-2 over/under record in 2010. The All-Star hiatus may have cooled those bats and a slew of upcoming road games could keep their offensive production down.

San Francisco Giants (167-185-8 over/under)

The Giants are to unders as the Yankees are to overs. San Francisco’s lackluster offense and star-studded rotation has made it one of the top under plays on the back nine of the slate. The Giants record versus the total at home and away is nearly a negative of each other. They’re 12-27-3 over/under inside AT&T Park and 29-15 over/under away from it. A lot of that has to do with the road struggles of ace Tim Lincecum, who is 9-1 over/under with a 9.00 ERA as a guest this season.

Tampa Bay Rays (163-185-13 over/under)

Not all AL East teams live and die through offense. Tampa Bay entered the break with a 35-46-5 over/under count, thanks in part to a solid staff which ranks ninth in the bigs with a 3.73 collective ERA. The Rays were the best second-half under bet in 2011, going 30-37-5 over/under, and have benefited under bettors in the final two and a half months in all but one of the past five seasons. Injuries to some of the bigger bats in the lineup have Tampa Bay hitting just .232 BA – 28th in the majors.
