Tuesday, May 27

Early Tuesday forecasts are calling for scattered thunderstorms heading to the East Coast, stretching to the Midwest and putting the status of some ball games in jeopardy.

Five Major League Baseball matchups could be affected by the inclement weather. Those games (with current odds) are Miami at Washington (Nationals -114), Colorado at Philadelphia (Phillies -119), Pittsburgh at New York Mets (Mets -114), Cleveland at Chicago White Sox (White Sox -161) and Texas at Minnesota (Rangers -148).

New York versus Pittsburgh looks to be the most vulnerable since it's projected Citi Field will see thundershowers all day with a 60 percent chance of precipitation at gametime.

Top money pitcher Buehrle takes the mound vs. Rays

It's been a magical start to the season for Mark Buehrle as the 35-year-old Blue Jays starter has posted an 8-1 record with a miniscule 2.16 ERA. The Jays are 9-1 in games Buehrle has started in 2014.

Buehrle has given bettors incredible success as well. The veteran is the top money pitcher in baseball with an impressive $871 per $100 bet.

Buehrle and the streaking Blue Jays, winners of seven in a row and 12 of their last 14 games, will face Alex Cobb (1-1, 1.40 ERA) and the Tampa Bay Rays Tuesday.

Josh Hamilton day to day with bone bruise in thumb

Josh Hamilton is currently nursing a bone bruise in his left thumb, Angels doctors confirmed when they re-evaluated the slugger in Seattle on Monday.

The good news is that it isn't expected to be a major setback, and it's deemed unrelated to the surgical procedure that forced him to miss about six weeks on the disabled list. But Hamilton will have to take at least one day off from swinging the bat, then have to start his rehab assignment all over again.

Hamilton went 2-for-4 with a double in his debut with Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday, but was jammed badly while grounding out in a ninth-inning at-bat, then was a late scratch from the starting lineup on Friday and Saturday and stayed away from baseball activities altogether on Sunday.

Armadillo: Wednesday's six-pack

-- Rangers lost 7-4 in Montreal,. but Derek Stepan scored two goals for New York while playing with a broken jaw.

-- There is a country called Azerbajian? Wow, never heard of it. Apparently it is in between Russia, Armenia and Iran. Alrighty then.

-- Ben Revere hit his first career homer in 1,565 plate appearances Tuesday nite. Hope he took his time going around the bases.

-- Pitcher Yovani Gallardo hit a pinch-hit walk-off HR as Milwaukee won 7-6 in ten innings against the Orioles. It was the first extra innings walk-off homer by a pitcher since Glendon Rusch in 2003.

-- Coaching staff of Ohio State's football team makes a combined $28.4M a year; think about that for a minute- they play thirteen games a year, at most.

*****

Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Mid-week musings.........

13) I was surprised that no team has ever thrown no-hitters in consecutive games; Angels had Frank Tanana, Astros had Mike Scott when both teams had Nolan Ryan. Dodgers had Koufax/Drysdale.

Almost happened with the Dodgers this week. Would’ve been weirder with LA doing it against two different teams on consecutive days, on two different coasts.

12) When you rake in $550M, you can afford to be generous; departing Milwaukee Bucks’ owner Herb Kohl gave all employees at the Bucks’ arena $500 checks, a pretty cool thing to do. Kohl was a US Senator who seems like a good guy- he just sold the team, made a fortune, but he didn’t have to do that. Good for him.

11) Next big controversy will be the punishment Colts’ owner Jim Irsay gets from the NFL for misdemeanor drug possession. Players want him to get hit hard. Going to be interesting to see what Roger Goodell does- what can he really do? Irsay is still going to make a tons of profits; what does Irsay really do anyway?

10) I'm tired of listening to media types whining about how long baseball games take; if it is so horrible, quit your job and go do something else. Seriously, if games takes 10-12 minutes longer than they used to, so what? Its 10-12 minutes!!!!

9) Extra 10-12 minutes, by the way, is TV commercial time between innings; you keep adding to that, the game can't but help to take longer.

8) Apparently A’s 3B Josh Donaldson told Dick Vitale off last week for calling the A’s “no-names”. Vitale has season tickets right by the visitors’ dugout at the Trop. Hopefully Donaldson won’t meet Larry King anytime soon; King’s comment on the A’s last weekend? “Quick, name three of their players.”

7) Kansas City Royals have a $92M payroll and a mediocre manager; when asked about why he played a certain player last week, manager Ned Yost replied, “I have no plan.” Oy. I’m sure he didn’t mean it that way, but it sounded thay way.

I’m thinking the Royals better win soon or the owner will be asking George Brett to manage again.

6) Speaking of payrolls, the Padres have a bigger payroll than the Mets, who live eight miles from the Bronx Bombers. Their owners were in bed with Bernie Madoff, my tax dollars helped build their very nice stadium, yet they run the team like they are the Toledo Mud Hens. Wilpons are the worst owners in baseball; at least Jeffrey Loria won a championship before he dismantled the team.

5) Tuesday night was just the Pirates' fifth game all year against a lefty starter; next fewest in big leagues are Braves/Padres, who have had eight such games.

4) Kerwin Danley, Lance Barksdale on the same umpiring crew? Yikes. Ned Yost got tossed last night for arguing balls/strikes with Danley. Not a big surprise.

3) Tennessee lost one of its backup quarterbacks; Riley Ferguson transferred in a move that apparently surprised Vols' coaches. Some people thought Ferguson had a chance to unseat incumbent QB Justin Worley.

2) St John’s-Fordham, Manhattan-Rutgers is the MSG Holiday Festival in New York City December 13; what holiday exactly is December 13? Event used to be in between Christmas and New Year's.

1) College football magazines are coming out a few weeks later than usual this year; there was a kerfuffle last year between rival magazines about whose information was better/more accurate, so now Phil Steele is holding back his great magazine so that everyone thinks (he hopes) that he’s working so much harder on it. I’d rather have it my hands during June so I can start my research, but no one asked me.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wednesday's MLB betting cheat sheet: C.J., Felix do battle
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boston O Party

The Boston Red Sox are one of the hottest Over bets going, improving to 7-1 O/U in their last eight games following a 6-3 triumph over the host Atlanta Braves. The Red Sox, who were 3-10-1 O/U prior to the streak, are +126 underdogs with the total set at 8 for Wednesday's rematch.

Making His Mark

Toronto Blue Jays lefty Mark Buehrle continued his red-hot start to the season, improving to 9-1 with 6 2/3 solid innings in a 9-6 victory over Tampa Bay. Buehrle leads all pitchers in money earned with $971, already surpassing his total of $731 from last season.

C.J.'s New Low

C.J. Wilson and the Los Angeles Angels face a total of 6.5 as they face Felix Hernandez and the Seattle Mariners (-123) on Wednesday. The Angels are 4-0 in Wilson's four career starts as an Angel with the total below 7, though that hasn't happened since Oct. 1, 2012 - coincidentally against Hernandez.

Pitching Notes

* Los Angeles Dodgers lefty Clayton Kershaw hasn't been getting much help from his teammates against the Central Division. The Dodgers - listed at -194 Wednesday against visiting Cincinnati - have lost Kershaw's last five starts against the Central while scoring just five runs over that span.

* Being an underdog hasn't exactly agreed with New York Yankees right-hander Hiroki Kuroda, who is 0-5 against the moneyline in his last five starts as a 'dog. Kuroda and the Yankees (+124, 7.5) continue their series in St. Louis on Wednesday.

Hitting Notes

* The Kansas City Royals won't miss May, having batted .244 with a paltry nine home runs in 25 games so far this month. The Royals, who are 10-15 S/U and 12-11-2 O/U in May, renew acquaintances with the visiting Houston Astros (+145, 8).

* St. Louis outfielder Matt Holliday had three hits, including a homer, to lead the Cardinals (-149) past the New York Yankees 6-0 Tuesday night. Holliday has scored at least one run in seven of his last eight games, during which the Cardinals have gone 6-2 S/U and 3-5 O/U.

Totals Streak

Tampa Bay Rays (4-0 O/U): Scoring has come fast and furious over the Rays' last four contests, as they and their opponents have combined to score an average of 13 1/2 runs per game. Tampa Bay is 29-21-3 O/U for the season, including 14-12-1 away from Tropicana Field.

Prop of the Day

The Pittsburgh Pirates enter Wednesday's game against the host New York Mets (-107, 7) as a +650 longshot to win by exactly one run. Fourteen of the Pirates' 23 victories this season have come by a run, the most in the majors.

Injury Notes

* Atlanta Braves catcher Evan Gattis was scratched from Tuesday's lineup with a wrist injury he suffered during batting practice. Gattis - who had a two-homer game Monday against Colorado - isn't expected to return for Wednesday's game against Boston.

* Seattle Mariners left-hander pitcher James Paxton has been shut down after suffering a setback in his return from a left shoulder injury. Paxton won his only two starts of the season, and the Mariners are 5-1 S/U in his six career outings.

Weather Watch

* Fans at Citi Field should expect wind to blow in from right field at 7 mph for Wednesday's game between the host Mets and the Pirates. Teams combined to average a scant 5.67 runs in six games under similar wind conditions in 2013.

Umpire Note of the Day

Under is 10-1 in umpire Jim Reynolds' last 11 Wednesday games calling balls and strikes. Reynolds will be behind home plate for the game between the host Washington Nationals (-155) and the Miami Marlins.

MLB betting Top 5: Baseball's best Under pitchers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With roughly a third of the major league season in the books, a handful of marquee pitchers have rewarded Under bettors handsomely.

Whether it's a long string of solid performances, a major lack of run support or both, these starters have consistently returned the best Under value since the start of the season. Some appear to be strong bets to continue the trend, while others will likely regress to the mean before long.

Here are five of the top Under pitchers heading into the final days of May:

Alfredo Simon, Cincinnati Reds (1-8 O/U)

Simon has amazed in his first stint as a full-time starter since 2011, posting quality starts in eight of his nine outings to post the best Under mark of any pitcher with at least five starts. It has helped that the Reds haven't exactly been lighting up the scoreboard in his appearances, scoring more than four runs just once. Simon has posted a sub-3.00 ERA in each of his previous two seasons, but as the innings pile up - and the Reds offense wakes up - he should see fewer Under results.

Wily Peralta, Milwaukee Brewers (2-8 O/U)

Like Simon, Peralta has been a revelation, allowing no more than three earned runs in any of his first 10 starts while holding teams to two earned runs or fewer in nine of them. But he has just one win in his previous six starts thanks to a Brewers offense that has managed a combined nine runs in those outings. Peralta's career home/road splits are close to even and he's a strong second-half pitcher, suggesting his Under streak could continue for a while.

Garrett Richards, Los Angeles Angels (2-7-1 O/U)

Richards has catapulted himself from fringe-average starter to pivotal piece of the Angels' run at a playoff spot, posting seven quality starts in his first 10 outings - during which the Angels have gone 7-3. He has been particularly stingy on the road, going 3-0 with a 1.38 ERA and a 1-5 O/U record in six starts away from Angel Stadium. Richards has allowed just one homer in his first 66 innings this season. That number should rise, which will lead to more Over results.

Julio Teheran, Atlanta Braves (3-8 O/U)

Teheran has been one of the top starters in baseball so far, posting a tidy 1.77 ERA with two complete-game shutouts already on his resume. The hard-throwing right-hander has been fortunate on the home-run front - five of the last six homers he has surrendered have been solo shots - and the Braves have scored just one run in three of his previous eight outings. Teheran should continue to be solid, but Atlanta's offense should improve, which will likely mean fewer Unders.

Max Scherzer, Detroit Tigers (3-7 O/U)

Scherzer opened his season with four straight Unders but has leveled off recently, registering Overs in three of his previous six appearances. The 29 year old could easily be 5-5 O/U at this point in the campaign, with back-to-back starts in mid-April falling Under the total by only half a run apiece. Scherzer has traditionally been a much stronger pitcher from June forward, but with the Tigers' offense always capable of racking up big totals, approach the Under here with caution.
