Find NCAAF betting value in these injury-plagued teams on the mend

Sometimes last season’s stats and records can be skewed, especially when it comes to teams that suffered through a rash of injuries.

With oddsmakers discounting those programs based on 2013’s output,and key players getting healthy, these teams can quietly provide extra betting value in the early goings of the 2014 college football schedule.

We look at four now-healthy teams giving their backers a boost with the returning of key talents:

Florida Gators (4-8 SU, 4-8 ATS)

In 2013, the Gators were the poster child for injuries. They lost 17 players to season-ending injuries. Former five-star recruit, QB Jeff Driskel returns to redeem himself under new offensive coordinator Kurt Roper.

Also on offense, the Gators get back three potential offensive line starters (DJ Humphries, Tyler Moore and Chaz Green) and WR Andre Debose (led Gators in receiving TDs in 2011). Despite the injuries, the defense was still among the best in the SEC and will only get better with the return of LB Antonio Morrison.

Maryland Terrapins (7-6 SU, 7-6 ATS)

Since Randy Edsall took over, he hasn't been able to play with a full deck. Despite the injuries, Maryland has improved every year under Edsall. On offense, getting star wide receivers Stefon Diggs and Deon Long back will give Big Ten defenses fits.

On defense, corner Jeremiah Johnson returns from missing all but two games. The linebacker corps should also be healthier as they had to dig down into the third string at times last season. The Terps’ stop unit should tighten up after allowing 25.3 points per game last year.

California Golden Bears (1-11 SU, 2-10 ATS)

After going 9-3 at Louisiana Tech, Sonny Dykes 1-11 debut was the stuff of nightmares. In addition to losing over 50 starts to injury, the Golden Bears were also extremely young.

The defense gave up the most plays for over 20 yards in the FBS last season and one of the reasons was injuries. Defensive end Brennan Scarlett, safety Avery Sebastian and cornerback Stefan McClure all return from injury, hoping to erase the 45.9 points per game allowed by Cal in 2013.

Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles (1-11 SU, 3-9 ATS)

Southern Miss has won just one game in the last two years, going 6-18 ATS in that span. In Todd Monken's debut season in 2013, the Eagles were ravaged by injuries, mustering an average of only 17.1 points while giving up almost 42 points per game.

The defense should be the strength of this team in 2014 and it will be spurred by the returns of NT Rakeem Nunez-Roches and LB Alan Howze.

Game roundup: Melky homers twice, Jays rip Red Sox
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BOSTON -- Melky Cabrera homered from each side of the plate and drove in five runs, knuckleballer R.A. Dickey baffled Boston for seven innings and the Toronto Blue Jays posted a 14-1 win over the fading Red Sox on Monday night.

It was Toronto's sixth win in seven games and its eighth in 11 against the Red Sox this season. Boston lost for the sixth time in seven games after winning five straight.

Ryan Goins had four hits and drove in four runs for the Blue Jays, who broke it open with a nine-run sixth inning.

Dickey allowed one run and three hits, striking out a season-high 10 and walking one.

Braves 2, Padres 0

ATLANTA -- Ervin Santana struck out 11 in eight innings, and Atlanta blanked San Diego.

Santana (10-6) allowed just five hits, walked none and matched his career-high strikeout total. Craig Kimbrel struck out the side in the ninth inning to record his 32nd save.

Evan Gattis' leadoff homer in the seventh inning broke a scoreless tie, and Gattis added a run-scoring single in the eighth.

San Diego fill-in starter Jason Lane limited the Braves to six hits and one run in six-plus innings.

Rays 2, Brewers 1

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Rookie right-hander Jake Odorizzi delivered another strong outing, and Tampa Bay rallied past Milwaukee.

Odorizzi, who outdueled St. Louis Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright in his previous start, outlasted Brewers veteran Kyle Lohse on Monday, allowing one run and three hits over seven innings.

The Rays took the lead with a two-out, two-run rally in the sixth off Lohse. James Loney's two-run bloop single made the difference.

Mets 7, Phillies 1

NEW YORK -- Travis d'Arnaud collected three hits and three RBIs, and Bartolo Colon turned in another solid start as New York beat Philadelphia.

D'Arnaud went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run and two doubles. He has reached safely in 21 of his past 25 games.

Colon (10-8) allowed just one run on 10 hits in 7 2/3 innings. He walked one and struck out six, earning his second consecutive win after going 0-3 in his previous four starts.

Marlins 7, Nationals 6

MIAMI -- Scoring four runs in the bottom of the ninth inning, Miami earned a walk-off win over first-place Washington.

With two outs in the ninth, Jeff Baker singled to deep left off Jerry Blevins to win the game.

Nationals closer Rafael Soriano, who entered with a 6-3 lead to start the ninth, could not hold the Marlins back. It was the fourth blown save of the season for Soriano (2-1). Adeiny Hechavarria, who battled through an 11-pitch at-bat against Soriano, hit an RBI triple to tie the score with one out.

Cubs 4, Rockies 1

CHICAGO -- Tsuyoshi Wada pitched seven strong innings to earn his first major league win in his third career start, and Chicago snapped a two-game losing streak.

Wada (1-1) allowed one run on five hits. He gave up the run in the sixth but then came back to work a scoreless seventh. The left-hander left with a 2-1 lead before the Cubs added two insurance runs in the eighth inning.

Chicago's Emilio Bonifacio had two hits and scored two runs, and Anthony Rizzo drove in two runs.

Astros 7, A's 3

HOUSTON -- Brett Oberholtzer continued his stretch of solid outings, and Houston backed him with four home runs in a win over Oakland.

Oberholtzer (3-7) allowed more than two earned runs just once over his previous six starts before surrendering three runs on eight hits and one walk with two strikeouts over 6 2/3 innings Monday.

Chris Carter, Jason Castro, Marc Krauss and Matt Dominguez homered for the Astros. Stephen Vogt went deep for the A's.

Rangers 4, Yankees 2

ARLINGTON, Texas -- J.P. Arencibia's two-run single keyed Texas' decisive four-run fifth that made a winner out of right Yu Darvish.

Elvis Andrus and Adrian Beltre each had run-scoring hits for the Rangers in the fifth.

Darvish (10-6) struck out eight while giving up two runs on nine hits and one walk over seven innings for the Rangers, who won for only the fifth time in July.

New York's Brett Gardner hit two homers among his three hits. Derek Jeter added three hits, giving him 3,420 in his career, one ahead Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski for seventh on the all-time list and third in American League history.

Diamondbacks 2, Reds 1 (15 innings)

CINCINNATI -- Nick Ahmed's single drove home Martin Prado with the go-ahead run in the 15th inning, lifting Arizona over Cincinnati.

In the 15th, Prado walked with one out. The Arizona third baseman advanced to second on a groundout, then scored when Ahmed, the Diamondbacks' shortstop, laced a single to left-center off J.J. Hoover (1-8).

The Diamondbacks improved to 13-0 in their history in games lasting at least 15 innings.

Pirates 5, Giants 0

SAN FRANCISCO -- Pittsburgh right-hander Vance Worley took an early cushion and ran with it, pitching his first career shutout in a wire-to-wire victory over San Francisco.

Josh Harrison walked and scored in a four-run first inning, then homered in the second, highlighting a seven-hit Pirates attack that produced a second consecutive win and a seventh in 10 games since the All-Star break.

Worley (4-1) was perfect for four innings and faced the minimum for seven innings. The 26-year-old allowed only four hits, the first three of which were singles, and one walk. He struck out three.

Game of the Day: Angels at Orioles
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Los Angeles Angels at Baltimore Orioles (+104, 8.5)

The Los Angeles Angels will have revenge on their minds when they begin a three-game series against the American League East-leading Orioles in Baltimore on Tuesday. Los Angeles dropped a three-game set to Baltimore at home last week, salvaging the finale after a pair of 4-2 defeats. The Angels enter the matchup with a three-game winning streak as they held Detroit to a total of two runs in the three victories following a 6-4 loss in the series opener.

Los Angeles continues its pursuit of first-place Oakland in the AL West as it begins an eight-game road trip at Baltimore, which returns home after a 6-4 West Coast trek. The Orioles are only three games over .500 at home compared to a 32-23 mark on the road. The Angels, who are second in the major leagues in victories with 63, are only 25-22 away from home.

TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, FSN West (Los Angeles), MASN (Baltimore)

LINE HISTORY: The line opened with the Orioles as +104 home favorites.

INJURY REPORT: Angels - LF Grant Green (DL/Back) Orioles - None

PITCHING MATCHUP: Angels RH Jered Weaver (11-6, 3.36 ERA) vs. Orioles RH Chris Tillman (7-5, 3.92 ERA)

Weaver extended his winning streak to four games Wednesday against Baltimore, allowing two runs and six hits over eight strong innings. The 31-year-old has not lost since June 16 at Cleveland, going 4-0 over seven starts while yielding fewer than three runs six times in that span. Weaver is 7-4 with a 2.97 ERA in 11 career outings versus the Orioles.

Tillman was forced to settle for a no-decision in Wednesday's showdown with Weaver despite allowing just one run and five hits over six innings. The 26-year-old Anaheim native is 0-1 in his last five starts, although he yielded three earned runs or fewer in each contest. Tillman is only 1-5 at home this season but has pitched extremely well against Los Angeles in his career, going 2-0 with a 1.74 ERA in three outings.

TRENDS:

* Under is 5-1 in the last six meetings.
* Angels are 2-6 in the last eight meetings.
* Orioles are 0-5 in their last five games following an off day.
* Under is 7-0 in Orioles last seven overall.

CONSENSUS: 57 percent of users are taking the Angels -113.

Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

Odds to win the PGA tournament next week in Louisville........

5-1-- Rory McIlroy-- Going very well right now.

8-1-- Eldrick Woods-- Wouldn't bet him with your money.

10-1-- Adam Scott-- Will have to overcome his shaky putter.

12-1-- Phil Mickelson-- Has become the forgotten man.

20-1-- Henrik Stenson, Justin Rose, Dustin Johnson

30-1-- Charl Schwartzel, Jason Dufner

**********

Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud.........

13) Went to a minor league baseball game here in Las Vegas last night; good stuff, minor league ball-- fun, inexpensive entertainment.

12) So Chip Kelly doesn't like the NFL Draft; wonder what he thought of it when he was the coach at Oregon and he could use former Ducks getting drafted as a tool in his recruiting process? Bet he didn't mind it much then.

11) New Orleans Saints are training at the Greenbrier resort in West Virginia this summer; Sean Payton caddied at the PGA Tour event there two years ago, when he was suspended from the Saints after Bountygate.

10) Blake Griffin has a small fracture in his back; maybe he should tone down his dunks to take stress off his back when he lands-- just a suggestion.

9) Potomac Nationals. Class A farm club of Washington, have one of the better mascot names- their politically-themed mascot is called "Uncle Slam".

8) Price of gas here in Las Vegas has caught up to the greedy bastards in upstate New York; most places here now have prices in the $3.70's. Back in December, the prices here were 40-50 cents a gallon cheaper than in New York.

7) Nelson Cruz had trouble finding someone to sign him; he's now 5th in the major leagues in RBI and a huge reason why the Orioles are in first place.

6) Ben Roethlisberger is the 14th highest paid QB in the NFL? Really? How do the Steelers not re-do his contract?

5) AJ Burnett threw 131 pitches in his previous start before last night; he gave up four runs in the first inning Monday, seven runs in five innings overall, and looked awful in a 7-1 loss to the Mets. 131 pitches is a lot for an older pitcher.

4) Its sad watching Ryan Howard play; he's clearly washed up, even has trouble bending down to catch throws from infielders that are around his ankles-- he's been benched against lefty pitchers, but he is owed so much money, he's hard to dump.

3) Nationals led 6-0 in 7th inning at Miami last night, lost 7-6; Marlins score four times in bottom of ninth-- Washington bullpen allowed five of 12 batters they faced to score-- their lead over Atlanta is down to half a game.

2) Media types need to stop whining about the length of baseball games; its not that big a problem. If you don't like your job, quit. This is an issue totally cultivated by media members in an attention deficit-addled society.

1) If you're Steve Ballmer and the deal finally goes down where he gets the Clippers for $2B, on the same day it comes out that Blake Griffin has a small fracture in his back, are you a happy guy? I guess if you're a billionaire, you're always happy.

Rain could fall on these stadiums Tuesday

Tuesday has a full slate of MLB action on the board and few matchups could be impacted by some rain and/or thunderstorms.

Forecasts are calling for a 50 percent possibility of scattered thunderstorms at Progressive Field as the Indians host the Seattle Mariners.

Comerica Park in Detroit could see wet conditions as forecasts are also calling for a 50 percent chance of scattered thunderstorms as the Chicago White Sox pay a visit to the Detroit Tigers.

There is a smaller 30 percent chance of thunderstorms hitting Chicago, which could affect the matchup between the Colorado Rockies and Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.

Orioles cashing in for Under bettors

The Baltimore Orioles have scored 441 runs on the season - fifth best in the American League - but they have been a boon for bettors who have backed the Under in recent games.

The Orioles head into Tuesday's game with the Los Angeles Angels with seven consecutive ball games staying under the total.

There was an average of just over five runs per game during the seven-game under streak.There is currently a total of 8.5 for Tuesday's meeting with the Halos.

Road team cashing when this umpire works the plate

When umpire D.J. Reyburn is calling balls and strikes, the road team is on a tear, going 5-0 in his last five games behind the dish.

Reyburn has been down the middle on the season, with the road team and home squad splitting his 18 games, going 9-9 thus far.

He will be at work behind home plate Tuesday evening in Florida as the Miami Marlins host the Washington Nationals. The Nats are currently -133 road faves with a total of 7 on the board.

CFL

Lines for Week 6 are on the board

Check out the team on a smoking hot under streak

Injuries are catching up to the Cincinnati Reds, who have lost nine of their last 10, but it has put them on an impressive under streak.

The Reds have gone under the run total in eight straight games and a 1-9 over/under in their last 10.

Cincinnati is really missing Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips, scoring just 17 runs in their last 10 games. The Reds host the Arizona Diamondbacks Tuesday with a current total of 7.5.

Seattle Mariners not so hot in Cleveland

The Seattle Mariners open a three-game series in Ohio versus the Cleveland Indians and have been dreadful in recent meetings there.

The Mariners are 0-6 in the last six ball games at Progressive Field, but visit there for the first time in the 2014 season Tuesday.

The Indians are slight home faves in the matchup, currently priced at -107. Trevor Bauer gets the start for the home team, while the visiting Mariners are scheduled to counter with Hisashi Iwakuma.

Over tends to follow this pitcher around

When San Francisco Giants pitcher Tim Hudson has taken the mound in recent games, bettors backing the Over have been cashing in. In Hudson's last 10 outings, the Over is 7-2-1.

The veteran gets the Nod for San Fran when they face off against the Pittsburgh Pirates in the Bay Area Tuesday. The Giants are currently -115 faves with a total of 6.5.

Over is sizzling when these two teams meet up

The scoreboard operator is always kept busy when the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox face one another, especially at Fenway Park.

Fueled by a pair of homers from Melky Cabrera, the Jays hammered the Sox 14-1 Monday evening, improving the Over/Under record to 8-1-2 on the season. But that record has been flawless at Fenway for fans of the Over as the teams are now 4-0 O/U in Beantown.

With 45 runs scored through the four games in Boston, the teams average a little more than 11 runs per game.

Several books opened Tuesday's matchup with a total of 8.5, which has since moved up to 9.

Astros backers will be happy to see this umpire

At 43-63 on the season and down $-524 units, it has hardly been a banner season for the Houston Astros. But if the 'Stros could have umpire Doug Eddings call balls and strikes every game, maybe it would be a different story.

Houston, currently mired in second-last place in the American League West, are 6-1 in their last seven ball games with Eddings behind home plate. And that's exactly where he'll be when the Astros host the division-leading Oakland A's Tuesday evening. Furthermore, the home team is 4-0 in the last four games that Eddings has umpired behind the dish.

The 'Stros are big +173 home dogs with Scott Feldman on the mound Tuesday. The A's are slated to counter with Jeff Samardzija.

What team struggles with a high total posted?

The fact the Texas Rangers have struggled this season is no secret, but they have been truly awful when a high run total has been posted.

The Rangers are 3-23 in their last 26 games with a total set between 9.0 and 10.5.

Texas host the New York Yankees Tuesday night with a total currently set at 9.0.

Books post total for Rockies-Cubs game

Sportsbooks traditionally hold off on posting totals for ball Chicago Cubs ball games at Wrigley Field and earlier Tuesday, they posted the total for the Colorado Rockies' visit.

With a 30 percent chance of showers and wind blowing from left field to right field at seven mph, books opened the total at 7.5.

Edwin Jackson gets the start for the Cubbies while Jorge De La Rosa will get the ball for the visiting Rockies.

Total on the move in Thursday night matchup

A major narrative for CFL bettors in the early part of the 2014 campaign has been cashing in on the Under.

The Under has gone 15-5 through the first five weeks of the season and bettors have been backing the Under since lines for the Thursday nighter have hit the board.

The LV Superbook opened the Blue Bombers at Tiger-Cats matchup with a total of 51 Monday evening, but that has dipped to 50 as of Tuesday afternoon.The Bombers are the only team in the league with a favorable Over record (3-2 O/U) but the Ti-Cats own a 1-3 O/U record.

WNBA

Best bet around back in action Tuesday

If you bet the WNBA, you obviously have been profiting off the Phoenix Mercury. If you haven't, well, you've been missing out.

The Phoenix Mercury are the best bet in the league and potentially the summer sports world right now. They are 18-5-1 against the spread on the season and are 10-0 ATS in their last 10 basketball games.

Tuesday sees the Mercury face the Los Angeles Sparks (11-15 ATS) on their home floor in Phoenix - where they are 11-1 ATS. They are currently 11-point home faves.
