Armadillo: Wednesday's six-pack

-- Umpire Angel Hernandez always has someone mad at him; this time it wasn't the A's but the Giants. Seems like someone is always barking at him.

-- Cardinals got a walk-off homer vs Pittsburgh for the second night in row, with Kolten Wong homering in the 9th- Monday it was Matt Adams.

-- Yasiel Puig signed up for Home Run Derby; that should be interesting.

-- Todd Frazier will also be there; does that make him the first player to be in both the Little League World Series and Home Run Derby?

-- Orioles-Nationals were rained out, won't make it up until August 4th- teams are playing today/tomorrow at Camden Yards.

-- Bud Norris came off the DL, will start today for first place Baltimore.

Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Random mid-week thoughts........

13) Interesting college basketball articles on CBSSports.com this week, as summer recruiting starts; Gary Parrish wrote an article saying how five of the top 10 rated seniors in last year’s high school class are already in the NBA, eight of ten from two years ago. The cream of the crop doesn’t stay in college long at all; I still think college ball would be better off if kids could go straight from high school to the NBA and remove the farce of the top players pretending to be college students while they wait to be eligible for the NBA Draft.

12) Lipton Iced Tea has come up with a combo iced tea/lemonade to rival Arnold Palmer Iced Tea (made by Arizona Iced Tea); I’m here to tell you they’ve fallen short. Arnold Palmer is tremendous, and it is inexpensive ($1 for a 33-ounce can). Lipton’s version is little tangier. No contest, as far as I’m concerned.

11) 20 years ago, the CFL had a team in Baltimore, the Stallions; they played for two years and won the 1995 Grey Cup. CFL tried to expand into this country, which turned out to be an ill-fated idea; once the Browns moved to Baltimore and became the Ravens, the CFL moved back north of the border, where it is a terrificly unique sport.

10) If you like to read into a team's body language, the Toronto Blue Jays are in deep trouble; they look like a beaten team, a team having no fun, even though they are a contender. It’s a long season, which is part of why Joe Maddon does so well managing the Rays—he is expert at lightening the mood when it needs to be.

9) Odd fact: Washington Nationals lost their last nine extra inning games that were at home, the longest such streak since the 1990 Braves.

8) You look at the three veterans who signed with teams after June 1: Stephen Drew, Kendrys Morales and Carlos Pena, they’re all struggling badly. Hard to get up to speed from a standing start against guys who have been into the season for two months, after a five week spring training- their agents did them wrong by holding out so long, except for Pena, who just wasn’t wanted by anyone until Texas got really desperate for a 1B.

7) Damn, the Florida Gators were 4-8 in football last year, are just 30-21 the last four years. Good thing their coach doesn’t get paid millions of dol--- oh wait, forget I said anything. Heads could roll in the Gators aren’t chomping more this fall.

6) In case you care about such things, Daisuke Matsuzaka has made eight starts for the Mets this year; the home team won all eight games.

5) Delonte West hasn’t played in the NBA the last two years, after scoring 11.5 or more ppg in three of four seasons from 2006-09; now he’s trying to make a comeback and will be on the Clippers’ summer league team in Las Vegas.

4) Adam Dunn hit his 435th home run Monday, a long bomb over the bullpen at Fenway; ironic that it put him past Red Sox icon Carl Yastrzemski on the all-time home run list, especially since it was his first-ever homer in Boston.

3) Cardinals won four of Adam Wainwright’s last five starts; a total of 11 runs were scored by both teams in the five games.

2) Last year I played fantasy football for the first time in over 20 years and, um, it didn’t go well. I used eight different QBs due to injury, and even lost the day Nick Foles threw seven TD passes for me in Oakland. Oy.

If we ever meet, never mention Matt Schaub to me…….lol I’m out for redemption this year, so we’ll keep you up-to-date how that goes.

1) Only 25 days until the NFL Hall of Fame game, Giants-Bills, which kicks off the NFL’s preseason. Summer goes by pretty fast, doesn't it?

Three streaking MLB bets to watch before the All-Star Break
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The baseball season doesn’t offer players many breathers during the 162-game gauntlet from April to October. That’s why the MLB All-Star Break is always a big deal – even if guys aren’t featured in the annual showcase of baseball’s top talents.

Some teams are closing in on their division leaders and look at the final stretch before the break as a perfect time to put their heads down and go all out before some time off. Others clubs, the ones sliding back in the standings, are counting the days until time away from the diamond, clubhouse and probing media and may not be 100 percent focused on the schedule ahead.

Here are three teams to watch in the final week of MLB betting action before the All-Star Break.

Seattle Mariners (49-40, +956 units)

The Mariners are playing great ball with seven wins in their last 10 outings, heading into Tuesday’s home game against Minnesota. The pitching has been superb with Seattle giving up two or fewer runs in six of its last eight games, including two shutouts. The bullpen is the best in the majors - 2.45 ERA - with 28 saves and nine blown saves.

The M’s are third in the American League West – 7.5 games behind Oakland – and have a great opportunity to close that gap during an upcoming three-game showdown with the A’s at Safeco Field before the break.

Washington Nationals (48-40, -80 units)

The Nationals were a little slow going in the spring, especially in May, but have been picking up steam in the National League East. Washington is just half a game behind Atlanta heading into Tuesday’s interleague contest with Baltimore, having won seven of their previous 10 games.

The Nats stumbled Monday, giving up eight runs to the Orioles, but have been very stingy with the runs in recent outings. Before that loss, Washington allowed more than three runs just once in the eight games previous. The Nationals can push themselves ahead of the Braves during a road set in Philadelphia before the break – already winning four of six games versus the Phillies this season.

San Diego Padres (40-49, -1062 units)

Could one of the worst bets in baseball suddenly be on the rise? The Padres have been plagued by poor hitting all season – ranked 30th in the bigs – but their bats have come to life in recent outings. San Diego scored eight runs on July 1 and put six on the board in Colorado Monday, giving backers their sixth win in the past 10 games – a haul of +348 units.

Of course, Coors Field could have something to do with that Monday result. But so could getting out of power-sucking Petco Park, which is among the most pitcher-friendly parks in America. The Padres could enjoy life on the road before the break. They head into the All-Star hiatus off a four-game road series against the Dodgers, who have four players looking past San Diego and to the ASG in Minnesota.

What trend was hot on the diamond Tuesday night?

It was another good night to be backing underdogs against the runline in Major League Baseball action Tuesday night.

Underdogs put up an impressive 12-3 mark against the runline, good for a success rate of 80 percent. Dogs against the runline have been one of baseball's best bets, still hitting over 60 percent of the time for the season.


Yankees' Carlos Beltran, questionable Wednesday

Beltran is dealing with swelling in his right knee which caused him to miss the last two games. He is questionable to return on Wednesday against the Indians.


Rainout means Nationals will skip Roark's turn

The first player to pop into the office of Washington Nationals manager Matt Williams after Tuesday's game was rained out was Doug Fister, the scheduled pitcher for that night's game against the Baltimore Orioles.

"What is the plan?" said Fister, according to Williams.

The plan is for Fister to start Wednesday against the Orioles when the series moves to Baltimore.

Fellow right-hander Bud Norris, who was set to start for the Orioles at Nationals Park on Tuesday, will make the start Wednesday at Camden Yards. Baltimore lefty Wei-Yin Chen was originally slated to start Wednesday.

Tuesday's game was called after a delay of more than 2 1/2 hours. It will be made up at Nationals Park on Aug. 4, a mutual off day for both teams. The game time was not set.

Tanaka Tumbles to Earth

New York Yankees hurler Masahiro Tanaka suffered his third loss in the past four games Tuesday, allowing five runs over 6 2/3 frames in a 5-3 defeat in Cleveland (+143, 7.5 O). Tanaka's value has taken a hit as a result; he was once ranked in the top-10 but now finds himself 27th ($465).

Great Scott

Lefty Scott Kazmir takes the hill Thursday as the Oakland Athletics wrap up a four-game interleague series in San Francisco. Kazmir has been lights-out at home (6-1, 1.57 ERA, 1-7 O/U) but less so away from Oakland, going 4-2 with a 3.57 ERA and a 6-3 O/U mark in nine road starts.

Pitching Notes

* Washington starter Tanner Roark would like to reverse his ugly road trend Wednesday as he leads the Nationals (+108, 9) into Baltimore. Roark is 3-2 with a 4.44 ERA and a 6-1-1 O/U record away from Nationals Park, compared to a 4-4 record, a 2.02 ERA and a 2-6-1 record at home.

* Boston Red Sox lefty Jon Lester has caught fire of late, surrendering just five earned runs over his last five starts - a span of 37 2/3 innings. Lester and the Red Sox, who are 5-0 SU and 1-4 O/U in those outings, take on the visiting Chicago White Sox on Thursday afternoon.

Hitting Notes

* Miami Marlins outfielder Marcell Ozuna continued his surprising season Tuesday, belting his 15th home run in the ninth inning of a 2-1 win over Arizona. Miami improved to 8-7 SU and 9-4-2 O/U when Ozuna goes deep entering Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks (-125, 8.5).

* Lester may be streaking, but he'll need to be wary of veteran Paul Konerko on Thursday afternoon. The White Sox DH/first baseman is 10-for-28 lifetime versus the Red Sox ace, with three home runs and seven RBIs.

Totals Streak

Oakland Athletics (7-2-1 O/U): The only thing keeping this from being an 8-1-1 stretch for the best team in baseball is a pair of eighth-inning runs scored in Tuesday's 6-1 triumph that nudged the total just past 6.5. The Athletics are 43-43-4 O/U on the season.

Injury Notes

* Atlanta hopes to have injured catcher Evan Gattis (back) participating in bullpen sessions over the weekend. The Braves are 8-3 S/U, 5-6 O/U and a surprising +368 units in 11 games since Gattis went down with the injury.

Weather Watch

* Wind will be blowing out to left field at 9 mph Wednesday evening at Fenway Park, where the Red Sox host the White Sox. Teams combined to hit just seven home runs in six games under similar wind conditions in 2013.

Umpire Note of the Day

The home team is 10-1 in umpire Andy Fletcher's last 11 games involving Cincinnati. Fletcher will call the balls and strikes Wednesday when the Reds (-176, 7.5) host the Chicago Cubs.

Wednesday, July 9


Tigers' 1B Miguel Cabrera, doubtful Wednesday

Cabrera will not be in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers as he will likely be given the day off.


Check out this umpire trend before placing your bet

When Lazaro Diaz is calling balls and strikes it's time to take a good hard look at the over in that game.

Diaz is one of the major's best over umpires, with teams going 8-1-2 over/under in his last 11 games when he is behind home plate and 12-4 O/U for the season.

Diaz is the home plate umpire for Wednesday's contest between the Kansas City Royals and the Tampa Bay Rays, with a total currently set at 7.


Rangers streaking on the Over

Bettors backing the Over in Texas Rangers games have been collecting some nice profits lately. In Texas' last five games, the Over is a spotless 5-0. The Rangers host their interstate rival Houston Astros in Arlington Wednesday.

Texas is presently -194 faves on the moneyline with a total of eight.


Over trending with Sale on the road

The Over has been the hot bet when Chicago White Sox pitcher Chris Sale has pitched on the road recently, going 7-2 in his last nine starts away from home. Sale gets the ball when his club takes on the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park Wednesday.

Chicago is currently listed as -113 faves with a total of 7.5 for the matchup.


Top Under bet cashing with high totals

The San Diego Padres are dominating Under bets this season, posting a record of 58-28-4. That hasn't stopped oddsmaker from putting their highest total of the season, 11.5, on the board for their series finale with the Colorado Rockies.

The Under is 2-0 after the first two games of the series, which had totals of 10 and 10.5. Even in the thin air of Coors Field, the Pads and Rockies put up a measly three runs on the board Tuesday night.

The Padres have played four games this season with a double-digit total, all in Colorado, and are 1-3 Over/Under.


Angels hot with C.J. Wilson on hill as big fave

The Los Angeles Angels are a hot bet when C.J. Wilson takes the hill as a big favorite, going 10-1 in the lefty's last 11 starts when listed between -151 and -200.

The Angels host the Toronto Blue Jays in the rubber match of their three-game series and are currently listed at -152.

Wilson is 8-6 with a 4.23 ERA this season.
