Wednesday's betting tips: Phillies, Brewers and Padres all hot at home

Weather watch

Thunderstorms are threatening Coors Field for the second straight day. There is a 77 percent chance of rain with temperatures dipping into the mid 50s.

Betting news and notes

-- Arizona Cardinals QB John Skelton will miss as many as four weeks after suffering a low ankle sprain in Sunday’s season opener. Kevin Kolb came into the game in relief and helped led the Cardinals to a win and cover over Seattle. Arizona travels to New England and 13.5-point underdogs in Week 2.

-- Philadelphia has won 20 of its last 28 games at Citizens Bank Park to even its home record at 37-37. The Phillies are -159 home faves versus Miami Wednesday.

-- San Diego has won 20 of its last 26 games at Petco Park. The Padres are +123 home underdogs hosting St. Louis Wednesday.

-- New York manager Terry Collins indicated Tuesday the Mets will start at least eight different pitchers in the team’s final 18 games, in order to give a look to top prospects Jenrry Mejia and Jeurys Familia.

-- Only two Indians players - Shin-Soo Choo and Carlos Santana - have recorded a hit against Texas SP Ryan Dempster. The rest of the team is 0-for-17 against him. The Tribe are +226 road underdogs Wednesday.

-- Milwaukee has won eight straight and is 16-2 over its last 18 games at Miller Park. The Brewers are -139 home faves hosting the Braves Wednesday.

-- South Florida is 0-8 against the spread in its last eight Thursday games and 0-6 in the last six home contests. The Bulls take on Rutgers as 9.5-point favorites Thursday.

Armadillo: Wednesday's six-pack

-- Jerry Blevins escaped a 1st-and-3rd, none out jam in ninth inning to preserve the A's 6-5 win in Anaheim, their 11th straight road win. Game ended when Howie Kendrick bounced into a 5-4-3 double play.

-- Patrick Ewing wants to be an NBA head coach, but turned down a shot to coach the D-League team in Erie, PA, whose GM is Allan Houston. He thinks being a great player should get him an NBA head coaching job.

-- Michael Peck, coach of Findlay Prep in Las Vegas, left to become the head coach of Portland's D-League team in Idaho. He wants to prove his ability to coach professional players.

-- USC-Syracuse drew 39,000+ to Swamp Stadium Saturday; someone has to tell the Syracuse AD that their alums are mostly front runners who are basketball fans because the basketball team wins.

-- Mets ended streak of 110 consecutive innings at home without scoring multiple runs in any inning; its the second-longest streak in MLB history, behind the 1909 Washington Senators.

-- Greedy bastard update/incumbent politician alert: Gas is now $4.06 a gallon in beautiful downtown Colonie. I'm voting against all incumbents until this problem is taken care of. Not that anyone cares.


***********


Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Our first NFL List of 13........

32) Dolphins—Never a good thing when your best WR is your starting quarterback.

31) Browns—D’Qwell Jackson scored a defensive TD with 13:59 left to give Browns a 15-10 lead over Philly, but they kicked PAT instead of going for two points, which wound up as a fatal mistake when Eagles scored TD in last 90 seconds for 17-16 win. Basic strategy escapes some of these coaches. Its not good.

30) Colts—125+ Harvard students were implicated in a cheating scandalthat apparently includes two Harvard basketball players, including team’s star, who will withdraw from school then come back next year.

29) Bills—Speaking of Harvard, it probably wasn’t a great idea to throw a boatload of money at a QB (Ryan Fitzpatrick) who didn’t get a football scholarship to college. Big early season game for the perception of their program this week against a Chief team they beat 41-7 LY.

28) Rams—Played much better defense in Detroit, but a loss is a loss, and the meter is now running at 15-66 since ’07.

Very tough to do a ranking after one week; only 0-1 team listed here are the defending champs, who aren't one of the best eight teams.
8) Giants—Defending champs always get a mention in our first list of season, but they also usually win that first game. Giants were only team not to gain 20+ yards on any 1st/2nd down plays; all three of their explosive plays came on 3rd down.

7) Broncos—All those folks who speculated on Denver when spreads for whole season came out back in May are looking awful smart right now; if Manning keeps playing well, Broncos will become a public team.

6) Cowboys—Final tally on explosive plays in Week 1: 130, or 4.1 per team. 50 of 130 came on first down plays. Five teams had four explosive plays on 1st down; only one of the five who lost (Browns) played another team that had five big plays on first down.

5) Falcons—Most teams who score first eight times they have the ball win that day. Looks like new OC Dirk Koetter (former HC at Boise State/ Arizona St) will let Matt Ryan be more aggressive.

4) Ravens—Fast-paced, no-huddle offense is fun to watch. Remember that OC Cam Cameron played basketball in college at Indiana.

3) Texans—ESPN.com reports that since 1990, 38 of 64 teams (59%) that won by 20+ points in Week 1 made the playoffs.

2) 49ers—Can you believe Steeler DC Dick LeBeau turned 75 Sunday? If you put his pic next to mine, it might be hard to tell who is older, and I’m 52. LBeau was a very good defensive back for the Lions.

1) Patriots—I’m typing this up on September 11, 11 years after one of our country’s darkest days. Thanks to all the soldiers, police and firemen who help keep us safe.

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

Streaking

Alex Cobb, Tampa Bay Rays (9-8, 4.28 ERA)

Cobb collected his fifth straight victory after yielding two runs in seven solid innings in a 5-2 win over the Yankees on Sept. 4. The 24-year-old has permitted just five earned runs and struck out 31 in those victories. Cobb has yet to face the Orioles in his brief career.

Cliff Lee, Philadelphia Phillies (4-7, 3.50 ERA)

Lee is headed toward his lowest win total since he won five games in 2007, but he has turned things around lately. He has posted five straight quality starts and won his last two decisions. His only outing against Miami this season was a disaster, as he allowed six runs in 4 2/3 innings in a loss June 29, but he is 2-1 with a 3.40 ERA in six starts against the Marlins.


Slumping

Ricky Romero, Toronto Blue Jays (8-13, 5.85 ERA)

Romero has fallen on tough times after beginning the season with an 8-1 mark. He was torched by the Tampa Bay Rays in his last outing, failing to retire any of the seven hitters he faced in the second inning before being removed. He was charged with seven runs and eight hits. Romero is 0-1 with a 3.55 ERA in two starts against Seattle this season and has a 1-2 mark and 3.64 ERA in seven career starts against the Mariners.

Luke Hochevar, Kansas City Royals (7-13, 5.36 ERA)

Hochevar will attempt to snap a personal four-game losing streak as he faces Minnesota for the fourth time this season and second time in three starts. Three days shy of his 29th birthday, he was battered by the Twins on Sept. 1, surrendering eight runs and six hits in just 1 2/3 innings. Hochevar, who last won on July 31 against Cleveland, is coming off a no-decision versus Texas in which he yielded four runs over 6 1/3 frames.
