Hitter's wind in Bay Area

It could be a long day for pitchers in the Golden State Sunday.

When the New York Yankees take on the Oakland Athletics at Oakland Coliseum, winds of 15 mph will be blowing directly to center field at gametime. Hitters will have the same advantage during Colorado's meeting with the San Francisco Giants at At&T Park as well.

Starting for the Yankees is Vidal Nuno, while Jesse Chavez takes the mound for the Oakland. Across the bridge, it's Juan Nicasio getting the ball for the Rox with Madison Bumgarner countering for San Fran. The A's are currently -179 faves with a total of eight, while San Francisco presently sits at -210 with a total of seven.

Winds could favor under bettors at these two parks

Pitcher-friendly conditions in Detroit and Chicago could give under totals a boost Sunday.

With the Minnesota Twins facing the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park, gusts of up to 12 mph blowing from center field towards home plate are expected. At U.S. Celluar Field, heavy winds blowing up to 24 mph in from right field should help to keep baseballs in the park in the ChiSox's meeting with the Kansas City Royals.

The Tigers are currently -153 favorites with a total of nine, while KC's line presently has at as a -155 fave with a total of eight.


Jays, Orioles trending under

After lighting up the scoreboard in May, it was only a matter of time the bats cooled off for the Toronto Blue Jays. That's been the case and then some through the first few weeks of June for Canada's only baseball team.

The under is 8-0-1 in Toronto's last nine games. When the Jays cap off their four-game series versus the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards Sunday, there's more evidence that trend could continue: The under is 6-0-0 in Baltimore's last six matchups.

Blue Jays manager John Gibbons has said he's not worried about his squad's lack of offensive production while adding he knows the bats will heat back up again. Until the Jays can start putting up more runs on the scoreboard, bettors need to take note of this trend.

The O's are currently slight -113 faves with a total of nine.

Cardinals host Mets

June 16, 2014


N.Y. Mets (31-38) at St. Louis (37-32)

First pitch: Monday, 8:10 p.m. ET

Sportsbook.ag: St. Louis -150, New York +140, Total: 7.5

After a series sweep of the Nationals, the Cardinals attempt to keep winning in the midst of a 10-game stretch against NL East teams when they host the Mets on Monday night.

New York is coming off a two-games-to-one series win over the Padres, but is only 3-9 in its past 12 contests. Over that stretch, the Mets have been swept by both the Cubs and Giants on the road. Sunday’s series-clinching win was impressive though, as starter Daisuke Matsuzaka was able to go just one inning due to illness while the bullpen picked him up with eight innings of four-hit, one-run pitching en route to a 3-1 victory. Forty-year old OF Bobby Abreu (.308 BA) has been a nice addition for this team, and had a big RBI double in that game as part of going 7-for-16 with 4 RBI in his past five contests. St. Louis has been hot of late with wins in six of its past seven games, but still sits 3.5 games behind the Brewers in the NL Central division.

The Cards dominated Nationals this weekend, getting the sweep in three games while outscoring them 10-3. St. Louis finished off the sweep with a 5-2 victory on Sunday afternoon as a solid pitching performance by starter Jaime Garcia (7 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 6 K’s), who was backed by homers from 1B Matt Adams and OF Matt Holliday. Adams (.327 BA) has been back just three games since coming off the DL, but has homered in each one while going 4-for-11 with 4 RBI. Taking the mound for the Mets in this one will be 25-year-old RHP Jacob deGrom (0-3, 3.44 ERA) who is still looking for his first MLB victory in his seventh career start. On the other side of the diamond, the Cardinals will give 22-year-old RHP Carlos Martinez (0-3, 4.67 ERA) a spot start, as ace Adam Wainwright was scratched with elbow tendinitis.

The Mets have had similar records both home and away while going 15-18 in away games this year while St. Louis is a solid 19-14 in front of the hometown faithful this season. This matchup has been as even as can be over the past three seasons with the clubs splitting 18 games (9-9), but the Cardinals hold a 5-2 advantage at Busch Stadium in that time. These teams have already played four times this year, with the Mets taking 3-of-4 at home. While New York has not been the best team since the start of last year, it is actually nearly .500 (56-58) in road games over that time. Meanwhile, St. Louis is a tremendous 20-3 (.870) against NL East opponents at home over the past two seasons. In injury news, the Mets will continue to be without OFs Juan Lagares (ribs) and Eric Young (hamstring), while the Cardinals’ offense is now healthy.

Jacob deGrom has been a great surprise for the Mets this season, as he was coming off a season in Triple-A last year where he went 4-2 with a 4.52 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in 14 starts. He pitched his way onto the big league club with a 2.58 ERA over seven minor league starts this year and has had a quality start in 4-of-6 MLB outings so far. His control has not been there (3.9 BB/9), but he has been able to counter this by leaving 82.1% of batters on base. He took on the Brewers his last outing, pitching only 5.2 frames while allowing three runs and 10 base-runners (9 hits, 1 walk) with four strikeouts. It was his third loss of the season and dropped New York to 1-5 in his half-dozen starts.

deGrom has yet to face the Cardinals in his young career, but he will need to be careful when facing OF Jon Jay (.300 BA) who is 11-for-29 (.379) with six runs over his last 10 games played. On the other hand, 3B Matt Carpenter is just 2-for-18 over his past five games while C Yadier Molina is a mere 6-for-39 (.154) with six strikeouts over his past 10 contests, and has seen his average drop from .305 to .283 in that time. New York’s bullpen has gone 12-17 with a strong 3.41 ERA and 1.39 WHIP this season, but has earned a save in only 16-of-27 (59%) opportunities. Jenrry Mejia (4.36 ERA, 7 saves) is 7-for-8 in his save chances since being converted to the closer role, and he has a 16:6 K/BB ratio in 14.1 relief innings.

Carlos Martinez was a top prospect in the Cardinals system as a starter for three years before making his way to the major league team as a reliever. In 13 starts at Triple-A last season, Martinez went 5-3 with an impressive 2.51 ERA and 1.19 WHIP, while striking out 8.3 batters per nine innings; but struggled with his control (3.6 BB/9). This will be his second major league start as he gave up four runs on seven hits over 4.2 innings last year in his first career start. As a reliever this season, he has continued to have control issues (3.6 BB/9), but has given up just two home runs in 34.2 innings on the mound. He has not gone against the Mets as a starter before and has faced only five batters in a relief role, striking out three of them without allowing a run or a hit.

Infielder Daniel Murphy (.299 BA) has been hot and could give Martinez some trouble, going 11-for-34 (.324) with two doubles, two homers, 5 RBI and eight runs over his past nine games. On the other side of things, superstar 3B David Wright (.262 BA) is a horrendous 5-for-44 (.114) with eight strikeouts in the month of July (14 games). The Cardinals’ relievers have combined to go 6-11 with a 3.62 ERA and 1.22 WHIP while converting 21-of-31 (68%) saves this year. Closer Trevor Rosenthal (3.55 ERA, 20 saves) has gone 20-for-23 in save chances while striking out 43 batters in 33 IP, but has also walked 19 batters in that time.

-- Curtis Granderson was 8th different Met to bat leadoff this season; they've had 16 different leadoff hitters since Jose Reyes left town.


**********

Armadillo: Monday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports weekend......

13) A belated Happy Birthday to Big Dawg, who turned 29 again this weekend; hope he left some money in Las Vegas for me.

Big Dawg and this website share the same birthday; this site turned 13 years old this week. Thanks to you for reading-- glad you enjoy it.

12) Congrats to the San Antonio Spurs for winning the NBA title and striking a great blow for team basketball and organization development. They fell behind 22-6 Sunday night, then went on a 50-20 run-- that doesn't happen a lot at that level.

11) Lebron James made $30M when Apple bought Beats from Dr Dre.

10) Still looks weird when you see still photos of NHL action and there are two cameras in each net. Provides the league with a great replay system and some great pictures, but its funny that cameras are so close to the action.

9) In case you wonder about such things, there have been 31 games this season that were decided by 10+ runs; Oakland A's won seven of those 31 games.

8) Dodgers would be in the playoffs if they started today, but a 15-20 home record is not what they expected to happen.

7) Washington's Jordan Zimmerman lost 1-0 in St Louis this weekend, but he threw a 76-pitch complete game, which almost never happens- it was an eight-inning complete game because St Louis won, but 76 pitches in eight innings is tremendous.

6) LSU basketball player Anthony Hickey transfers to Oklahoma State, a good get for Travis Ford, who needs some good news after a rough end to last season.

5) Fifty years ago this week, the Cardinals-Cubs made a six-player trade, with the Cubs getting Ernie Broglio, a solid starting pitcher whose best days were behind him, while the Cardinals got Lou Brock, who led them to the World Series in three of the next five years. One of the most famous, one-sided trades in baseball history.

4) Cardinals' .330 batting average with runners in scoring position LY was the best in the last 40 years by any team; last I heard this year, their average with RISP was only .238, which is a big reason why they're 3-5 games behind Milwaukee.

3) Don't look now, but Kansas City Royals have won seven games in a row, are only 1.5 games of first place in the AL Central.

2) Rough weekend for American sports, as Spurs won NBA title with only six of its 15 players born in this country, while Martin Kaymer became eighth foreign golfer in the last eleven years to win the US Open.

1) If the baseball playoffs started Monday morning, they'd look like this:
NL: Atlanta-Milwaukee-San Francisco; Wild Cards: Cards-Dodgers
AL: Toronto-Detroit-Oakland; Wild Cards: Angels-Kansas City

Teheran crushing NL East rivals

The Atlanta Braves are only 0.5 game up for the National League East crown and will be facing division rival Philadelphia Phillies this week. The Braves are more than happy to send Julio Teheran to the mound against NL East opponents.

The Braves have won Teheran's past 11 games against NL East opponents. Teheran has only allowed 18 runs in those 11 starts and has only twice allowed three or more runs.

The Braves are +126 road dogs against the Phillies (-137) Monday.


Weaver's career-long dominance against Indians

There may be no more dominant pitcher over the past decade against the Cleveland Indians than Jered Weaver. In Weaver's career, the Los Angeles Angels have been 12-5 with him on the mound against 'The Tribe.'

During those 17 career starts has only given up an average of 3.6 runs per game, and has kept the Indians to three runs or less 12 times (70.6 percent).

Under bettors have long been cashing in on this matchup. Weaver's over/under record against the Indians is 3-12-2, with a near-perfect 0-7-1 at Progressive field.

The Angels are -115 road favorites against the Indians (+106) Monday.


Martinez to start in place of Wainwright

With Adam Wainwright skipping his start, Carlos Martinez will take to the mound Monday.

Martinez competed for a rotation spot for the St. Louis Cardinals, but ultimately lost out. In Martinez's 30 relief appearances this season he has a 4.67 ERA in only 34.2 innings pitched.

Wainwright is expected to only miss this one start against the New York Mets.

Signs point to under in Cardinals-Mets meeting

The St. Louis Cardinals have been keeping scores low recently, resulting in huge profits for bettors who have capitalized on the trend.

The under is 8-1-1 in the Cardinals' last ten games. Through Monday, St. Louis pitchers have given up the fewest home runs in the MLB (42) to go along with owning the third-best ERA (3.23). The Cards host the light-hitting New York Mets at Busch Stadium Monday. The Mets have the second-worst batting average in the league (.231) and rank fourth-last in home runs (48). Furthering the possibility of the game going under, Cardinals hitters have the fewest home runs in baseball (40 home runs on the season).

St. Louis is currently a -152 fave with a total of 7.5.


Rays poor record vs. LHP could continue vs. O's

It's been a year to forget for the Tampa Bay Rays. Sitting in the basement of the AL East with a 27-43 record, the Rays have struggled in just about every facet of the game.

One particular trend to pay attention to for Monday's meeting with the Baltimore Orioles: The Rays are 0-8 in their last eight versus left-handed pitchers. With lefty Wei-Yin Chen (7-2, 3.76 ERA) on the mound for the Birds, it could be another long day for Tampa's offense.

The Rays will send Jake Odorizzi (2-7. 4.85 ERA) to the mound for the matchup. Tampa Bay is currently slight -116 faves, but bettors are heavily backing the Orioles, evidenced by a consensus of 66 percent.


Under sizzling when Weaver faces Indians

Jered Weaver has been catering to Over bettors of later, posing a 3-0-1 Over/Under count in his last four starts, but he has been a pretty good bet to keep the scoreline low when pitching versus the Cleveland Indians.

The under is 12-2-2 in Weaver's last 16 starts versus the Indians, whom he and the Halos face at Progressive Field Monday. The Angels are currently -115 road faves with a total of eight.

Monday's MLB betting cheat sheet: Padres highlight lean road fave offering
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rockies Roll as Underdogs

The Colorado offense is back in fine form, completing a three-game sweep in San Francisco on Sunday with an 8-7 win over the Giants. The Rockies have reeled off five straight victories - each as the underdog - while going 4-0-1 O/U over that stretch on the strength of 38 runs.

Royals Nearly Even

The Kansas City Royals are almost back to even money after defeating the Chicago White Sox 6-3 Sunday for their season-high seventh consecutive victory. Kansas City is now -96 units for the season entering Monday's game in Detroit (-135, 8.5).

One is the Loneliest Number

Monday's 11-game sked will see just one notable road favorite - the San Diego Padres (-121, 7), who open an interleague series in Seattle. The Padres have lost their last four games as a favorite - all on the road - but are an impressive 7-5 in interleague action so far this season.

Pitching Notes

* Los Angeles Dodgers star Hyun-jin Ryu has one of the widest home/road splits of any starter, going 2-2 with a 6.15 ERA in his own park and 5-1 with a 1.64 ERA away from L.A. Ryu and the Dodgers (-187, 7) open a series with visiting Colorado on Monday.

* Detroit Tigers hurler Justin Verlander is going through some rare struggles, going 2-4 in his last six starts with six straight Overs in that span. Verlander and the Tigers face Jason Vargas and the red-hot Royals.

HItting Notes

* Colorado outfielder Charlie Blackmon has been one of the catalysts for his team's recent hot streak, recording three three-hit efforts in his past five games to raise his average to .307. The Rockies are 16-6 SU and an incredible 19-2-1 O/U in games where Blackmon records multiple hits.

* Milwaukee outfielder Carlos Gomez is batting .309 during a season-best 13-game hitting streak. The Brewers are 7-6 SU and 8-5 O/U during that stretch entering Monday's showdown with the host Arizona Diamondbacks (-118, 8.5).

Totals Streak

Baltimore Orioles (0-7 O/U): Low-scoring games have been the norm for the Orioles, who have reeled off an impressive streak of Unders at Camden Yards - a stretch that includes four shutouts, two by the home team and two by the visitors. Baltimore is 10-22-1 O/U at home so far in 2014.

Prop of the Day

The Royals could be a strong play, offering +325 at -2.5 on the run line. Kansas City has prevailed by three or more runs six times during its seven-game winning streak, and Verlander has allowed at least five earned runs in five of his previous six starts.

Injury Notes

* The Miami Marlins will place outfielder Christian Yelich on the 15-day DL with a lower back strain. Yelich had gone 10-for-23 with five RBIs over his previous five games before suffering the injury early in Friday's 8-6 loss to Pittsburgh; the Marlins were 2-3 S/U and 3-2 O/U in those contests.

* Baltimore Orioles starter Dylan Bundy (elbow) threw five solid innings in his first minor-league rehab start. The Orioles hope that Bundy, who has just 1 2/3 major-league innings to his credit, will be available to join the team later in the summer.

Weather Watch

Wind at Progressive Field will blow out to right field at 6 mph for the game between host Cleveland (-101, 8.5) and the Angels. Teams averaged 8.87 runs and 2.07 homers while batting .250 in 15 games under similar conditions in 2013 - all slightly above the stadium averages.
