Game of the Day: Cardinals at Giants
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

St. Louis Cardinals at San Francisco Giants (+125, 6.5)

The key to success for the San Francisco Giants is apparently to let Tim Lincecum pitch every day. The Giants will try to halt a six-game losing streak when anyone other than Lincecum starts when they host the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday in the second of a three-game set. Lincecum pitched a no-hitter against San Diego last week and dominated through eight inning in a 5-0 triumph in Tuesday’s series opener.

The Cardinals got off to a decent start on their 10-game road trip by taking two of three in Colorado but have since dropped four of five to the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco. St. Louis managed a total of one run in those setbacks and has suffered back-to-back shutouts for the second time this season. The Giants totaled six runs during a four-game slide before Tuesday’s win, which featured Pablo Sandoval’s 100th career home run.

TV: 10:15 p.m. ET, FSN Midwest (St. Louis), CSN Bay Area (San Francisco)

LINE HISTORY: The Giants opened as +125 home dogs with the Cards in town. The total opened 6.5.

POWER RANKINGS: Cardinals (-176), Giants (-185)

INJURY REPORT: Cardinals: 2B Kolten Wong (15-day DL, shoulder). Giants: CF Angel Paga (15-day DL, back), 1B Brandon Belt (15-day DL, thumb).

PITCHING MATCHUP: Cardinals RH Adam Wainwright (10-4, 2.01 ERA) vs. Giants RH Ryan Vogelsong (5-4, 3.96)

Wainwright came out on the wrong end of a 1-0 shutout at Los Angeles on Thursday, surrendering the lone run on a single in the eighth inning. The staff ace has allowed a total of four runs in 31 innings over his last four starts. That stretch began after Wainwright was lit up for a season-high seven runs on eight hits in 4 1/3 innings to suffer a loss to San Francisco on May 30.

Vogelsong is coming off a tough-luck loss as well after allowing one run and striking out seven over six innings Thursday against Cincinnati. The veteran is trying to find some consistency after posting a 1-1 record with a 7.31 ERA in his three previous turns. Vogelsong went up against St. Louis on May 29 and yielded four runs on seven hits in 6 1/3 innings without factoring in the decision.

TRENDS:

* Cardinals are 1-5 in the last six meetings.
* Over is 5-0 in Vogelsong's last five starts vs. Cardinals.
* Cardinals are 1-4 in their last five games with Kulpa behind home plate.
* Giants are 2-9 in their last 11 home games.

Wednesday afternoon's must read weather update

There are plenty of afternoon games on tap Wednesday and plenty of weather that could affect your bets to go along with them.

The Oakland A's and the Detroit Tigers meet at Comerica Park, where there will be a strong 13 mph wind blowing in from left field. There is also a 28 percent chance of rain.

At Target Field the Minnesota Twins host the Kansas City Royals, where a strong 10 mph wind will be blowing out to right field.


Tampa Bay Rays heating up and cashing for bettors

The Tampa Bay Rays are beginning to heat up and attempt to scratch and claw their way back into the AL East picture. The Rays have won four-straight games and six of their last seven.The Rays will look to improve their winning streak to five when they close out their series with the New York Yankees Wednesday. The Rays are currently -111 road faves and send Jake Odorizzi to the hill, while the Yanks counter with Vidal Nuno.


Jays having problems stringing wins together

The Toronto Blue Jays enjoyed an incredible month of May, which saw them win nine-straight ball games, vaulting them into first in the A.L. East. Recently, however, they've had trouble putting back-to-back wins on the board and are just 1-7 in their last eight games following a victory.They will have a chance at home against the Milwaukee Brewers Wednesday afternoon.The Jays posted a 4-1 victory on Canada Day behind a strong outing from Drew Hutchison.They are -115 home faves while the Brewers are +106 dogs in Toronto.

Twins pitcher spells doom versus Royals

When the Minnesota Twins send Kevin Correia to the mound Wednesday, they send him with some nerves. In Correia's starts against the Kansas City Royals the past two seasons, the Twins are 1-6.

Correia has allowed at least six hits in all seven of those games, averaging 7.6 hits per game.


Padres pitcher winless all June, takes mound

Tyson Ross will take to the mound for the San Diego Padres and hope that July is different than June. The Padres went 0-5 with Ross on the mound last month.

Ross gave up 27 hits and 16 runs while carrying a 32/2 K/BB ratio in June.


Phillies pitcher dominating Marlins

Cole Hamels has been a force against the Miami Marlins and bettors have been cashing in. In Hamels last 10 starts against the Marlins, the under has gone 8-1-1 for bettors.

In those 10 starts Hamels has not once allowed more than three runs and has held the Fins to one or less four times.


Teheran has the NL East on notice

Julio Teheran has been the top Atlanta Braves pitcher within the National League East. The Braves are carrying a 13-3 record in Teheran's last 16 starts within the division.

Teheran has held opponents to one run or less in nine of those 16 contests (56 percent), while only once allowing more than three.

Wednesday's MLB betting cheat sheet: Fenway Park an Under haven
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NL East a Push Party

The Washington Nationals continued the NL East's trend of being baseball's most frustrating division from a totals perspective, earning their eighth push of the year in a 7-1 win over Colorado. The NL East has a combined 35 pushes this year; no other division has more than 25.

Fenway Frustrations

The Boston Red Sox can't figure out how to score at home, entering Wednesday's game with the Cubs (+141, 9) having scored two runs or fewer in seven straight games at Fenway Park. The under has been a sensational play there of late, with Boston 1-12 O/U in its last 13 home games.

Marlins Back on Track

The Miami Marlins finally regained their home mojo Tuesday with a 5-4 win over Philadelphia, halting a five-game slide at Marlins Park. They'll look to repeat the feat Wednesday (+109, 7) behind righty Tom Koehler, who is 4-4 against the moneyline and 5-3 O/U in eight home starts.

Pitching Notes

* JA Happ looks to continue his strong Under trend at home Wednesday as he leads the Toronto Blue Jays (-153, 9) into action against Milwaukee. The left-hander is 1-6 O/U in seven starts at the Rogers Centre, and threw 7 2/3 shutout innings to beat the White Sox last time out.

* Brandon McCarthy will try to master a team other than the San Diego Padres as he take the hill for Arizona in a Thursday night showdown with host Pittsburgh. McCarthy is 3-0 against the moneyline versus the Padres this season - and 0-14 against everyone else.

Hitting Notes

* Los Angeles Angels slugger Mike Trout remains hot, belting his 19th home run in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the White Sox. Trout began July on a solid note after hitting .361 with seven homers and 21 RBIs in June; the Angels (-129, 9) hope that trend continues in Wednesday's series finale.

* Colorado shortstop Troy Tulowitzki remains one of the lone bright spots for a struggling Rockies team, racking up a pair of homers and six RBIs over his last seven games. The Rockies are just 2-5 against the moneyline but are 6-1 O/U over that stretch; they host the Dodgers on Thursday.

Totals Streak

Arizona Diamondbacks (0-5 O/U): The Padres' dramatic Under trend is rubbing off on other teams. Arizona and San Diego combined for just 10 runs in their recent three-game series, and the Diamondbacks extended their Under run with a 3-2 loss to Pittsburgh on Tuesday.

Prop of the Day

Bettors expecting a fast start for Washington on Wednesday may be inclined to bet the Nationals -1.5 on a three-inning prop at +185. Starter Doug Fister has a 1.80 ERA in the first three innings this season, though the Rockies are batting over .300 in both the first and third innings in 2014.

Injury Notes

* The Minnesota Twins have placed first baseman Joe Mauer on the 15-day disabled list with a strained oblique. The Twins are 2-3 against the moneyline, 1-4 O/U and +43 units for the season with Mauer on the sidelines.

* New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira will wit out Wednesday against Tampa Bay (-117, 9) after having his troublesome knee drained. New York is 10-10 SU, 11-9 O/U and a modest +34 units with Teixeira out of the lineup this season.

Weather Watch

* Wind at Nationals Park for Wednesday's game between Washington and Colorado will blow out to center field at 7 mph. Teams combined for nine runs and 2.22 home runs in nine games under similar conditions in 2013, well above stadium averages.

* Pittsburgh's PNC Park will see wind blowing out to center field at 6 mph for Thursday's tilt between Pittsburgh and visiting Arizona. Teams went just 4-8 O/U with the wind blowing in that direction last season; average runs per game (6.67) was actually below the stadium average (7.08).

Umpire of the Day

Over is 20-5-1 in umpire Jerry Layne's last 26 games behind home plate involving Oakland. Layne will call the balls and strikes for Wednesday's tilt between the Athletics (-104, 8.5) and host Detroit Tigers.

Must read weather update for Wednesday evening

There is plenty of weather in the forecast for tonight's Major League action. So take a look before you place your final bets.

In Washington, the Nationals host the Colorado Rockies, where there are thunderstorms expected in the forecast with a 61 percent chance of rain. There will also be a seven mph wind blowing out to right field.

The White Sox host the Los Angeles Angels in Chicago, where there is a 38 percent chance of rain and a seven mph wind vblwoing out to right field.


Hanley Ramirez, LA Dodgers - Out Wed

Ramirez is not expected to play Wednesday against the Indians as he is dealing with a calf injury.


Dodgers' LF Yasiel Puig, doubtful Wednesday

Puig is not expected to be in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Indians as he will likely be given the day to rest.

Thursday, July 3


Under bettors profiting with Tampa on the road

The Tampa Bay Rays have been partaking in a lot of low-scoring affairs when facing right-handed pitching away from Tropicana Field recently. Through Wednesday, ten of their last 12 games on the road versus righties have gone under the total. The Rays open their four-game series against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park Thursday.

Tigers are presently -180 faves with an O/U of eight.


The umpiring trend you need to know for Thursday

Ron Kulpa will be calling balls and strikes for Thursday's meeting between the San Francisco Giants and St. Louis Cardinals which is good news for Giants backers. In San Fran's last eight games with Kulpa behind the plate, the Giants are 7-1.

Giants are -142 home faves with a total of seven.


Mets' Wright close to return

The New York Mets return to Citi Field for a 10-game homestand beginning Friday and that is certainly good news.

Even better news is that David Wright should be ready to rejoin them.

The third baseman missed the final six games of a 1-7 road trip and left the Mets (37-48) a season-worst 10 games out of first place in the National League East after being swept in a three-game series against the Atlanta Braves.


Dodgers' Ramirez could be headed for DL

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Hanley Ramirez could be headed to a stint on the 15-day disabled list.

Ramirez missed his fourth start in a row Wednesday in the Dodgers' series finale loss to the Cleveland Indians. Ramirez has been hurting with a strained left calf, but has managed to pinch hitter in the last three games, including Wednesday, when he drew a walk in the ninth inning. Ramirez also has been ailing with a sore right shoulder.

Initially, Dodgers manager Don Mattingly didn't believe Ramirez needed to be put on the DL. However, he admitted Wednesday that he might have misjudged Ramirez's health, and now there is a chance he could sit.

The Dodgers open a four-game set in Denver against the Colorado Rockies on Thursday, which Mattingly said is a "drop-dead date" in determining Ramirez's fate.


Pirates Andrew McCutchen, questionable Thursday

McCutchen left Wednesday's game in the ninth innning with discomfort in his foot. He is questionable for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks.
