Game of the Day: Red Sox at Angels
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boston Red Sox at Los Angeles Angels (-129, 7.5)

The Boston Red Sox figured out how to keep Mike Trout from dominating a game but forgot to bring their own offense. The Red Sox will try to score at least their first run of the series when they visit the Los Angeles Angels for the third contest of their four-game series on Sunday.

Trout, who hit a walk-off homer in Friday’s 1-0 series-opening win, went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts on Saturday, but Kole Calhoun took over with a pair of solo blasts and the Angels went on to grab a 3-0 victory behind Garrett Richards’ shutout. Boston, which averaged 5.9 runs in the nine games leading up to the All-Star break, totaled seven hits in the first two games of the series. The Angels are winners of 13 of their last 16 and sit atop the American League West. The Red Sox will turn to rookie Eduardo Rodriguez to start on Sunday while the offense attempts to figure its way against All-Star Hector Santiago.

TV: 8:05 p.m. ET, ESPN

LINE HISTORY: The Angels opened as -135 favorites and have been bet down slightly to -129.

INJURY REPORT:

Red Sox - SP C. Buchholz (15-day DL, elbow), C B. Swihart (15-day DL, foot), RP H. Hembree (15-day DL, shoulder), RF D. Nava (15-day DL, thumb).

Angels - RP H. Street (probable Sunday, groin), SP J. Weaver (15-day DL, hip).

WEATHER REPORT: There is a chance of thunderstorms and a 51 percent chance of rain. There will also be a five mile per hour wind blowing out to right field.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Red Sox LH Eduardo Rodriguez (5-2, 3.59 ERA) vs. Angels LH Hector Santiago (6-4, 2.33)

Rodriguez is 2-0 over his last three starts, allowing a total of four runs over 17 1/3 innings in that span. The Venezuelan rookie surrendered two runs – a pair of solo homers – in a win over the New York Yankees last Saturday but has not completed seven frames since June 3. Rodriguez, who is making his first appearance against Los Angeles, is 3-0 with a 0.69 ERA in four career road starts.

Santiago was a late addition to the American League All-Star roster in place of Oakland’s Sonny Gray, earning the nod after surrendering a total of three runs in 27 innings over his last four starts. The 27-year-old struck out seven and scattered one runs and eight hits over seven frames to win at Seattle on July 10. Santiago lost at Boston on May 24, when he allowed three runs and seven hits in 6 2/3 innings, to fall to 0-3 in five career games against the Red Sox.

TRENDS:

* Under is 5-1 in the last six meetings in Los Angeles.
* Under is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings.
* Red Sox are 3-8 in their last 11 meetings in Los Angeles.
* Red Sox are 7-19 in the last 26 meetings overall.

CONSENSUS: The public likes the Angels in this matchup with 66.33 percent of wagers backing the Halos.

Greinke has been impenetrable in day games

There's no debating Zack Greinke's importance to the Los Angeles Dodgers this season, but he's been particularly exceptional during daytime games.

In three matinee starts, Greinke is 3-0 with a 0.00 ERA in 22.2 innings of work. The 31-year-old has allowed 13 hits while fanning 17 batters during that span.

Greinke has also won all three of his July outings without allowing an earned run. He'll get the nod Sunday in D.C. against Max Scherzer and the Washington Nationals at 1:35 p.m. ET.

As of this writing, the line and total were off the board.


Arrieta has been lights out during July for the Cubs

Jake Arrieta will be happy to get back to the mound after the All-Star break as the Chicago Cubs pitcher is 3-0 in his three starts in July.

The righty has been pitching his best ball of the season with a 1.52 ERA and a 20/2 strikeout-to-walk ratio in his past three starts.

The Cubs, currently -143 favorites, visit the Atlanta Braves to end their three-game series Sunday.

Hitters wind at Comerica Park Sunday

Look for balls to carry at when the Detroit Tigers host the Baltimore Orioles at Comerica Park Sunday, with a 12 mile per hour wind gusting towards left field.

There will also be a 34 percent chance of rain and a chance of thunderstorms in the area.

Balitmore's Miguel Gonzalez (4.24 ERA, 8-8 O/U) takes on the Tigers Justin Verlander (5.34 ERA, 5-0 O/U). The Tigers are slight -114 favorites seeing a total of 9.0.

Not a pretty forecast at Great American Ball Park


There is plenty of weather on tap for today's matchup between the Cincinnati Reds and the Cleveland Indians at the Great American Ball Park.


There is a chance of thunderstorms, a 59 percent chance of rain and a six mile per hour wind blowing out to left field.


The Reds are slight -110 favorites and send ace Johnny Cueto (2.73 ERA, 6-9 O/U) to the hill to take on the Indians Carlos Carrasco( 4.07 ERA, 12-6 O/U). The total is currently 7.0 runs.

 

[CNOTES]

MLB betting cheat sheet: Sluggin' Tigers could easily continue Over trend


Jul 18, 2015


Here's a comprehensive look at betting notes for the weekend major-league schedule:


Trout Flashes Power


Mike Trout tied Giancarlo Stanton for the major league lead with his 27th home run on Friday, and it was a walkoff winner in a 1-0 game versus Boston. Trout has gone deep six times in his last seven games, and he's hitting .366 so far in July. He's hitting .325 versus southpaws this season, and he'll face a young left-hander on Sunday. He'll get a look at the struggling Rick Porcello on Saturday, and he's hit .333 with a home run and 17 RBIs in 16 career at bats versus the right-hander.


Ferocious Tigers


The Detroit Tigers may not be getting the W's lately, but it certainly hasn't been because of a lack of production at the plate. The Tigers lead the majors in scoring with 74 runs in 13 game in July, and a team batting average of .309 during that span. Those numbers are particularly impressive when you consider that Miguel Cabrera has been on the DL since July 3. Victor Martinez has helped fill the void, he's hitting .339 with four home runs and seven RBIs so far this month.


PETCO Now Hitter Friendly?


Over the last few years, we've come to think of San Diego's PETCO Park as one of the most pitcher friendly in the majors. That's quickly becoming a myth here in 2015. Friday's game failed to go over the total, but we did see four home runs in that game (all solo shots). According to ESPN Park Factors, PETCO ranks 5th behind Coors Field, Great American Ballpark, Camden Yards and Yankee Stadium. You don't often see totals of 6.5 in any of those parks, but low totals are still the norm in San Diego.


Pitching Notes


*If you haven't heard of Taylor Jungmann, it's probably only a matter of time. The 25 year old right-hander has been raising plenty of eyebrows in his rookie season in Milwaukee. He's 4-1 with a 2.15 ERA in seven starts, and his two most recent outings have been his most impressive. He went the distance, allowing one run on three hits in a win over the Dodgers in LA, and prior to that he tossed eight strong innings, allowing one run on four hits in a win at Cincinnati. His next start will come at home on Sunday opposite Jeff Locke in Game 3 versus the Pirates.


*Bartolo Colon certainly looks out of place every time he steps on the field, at the age of 42, with a physical appearance that is far from what you would describe as athletic. He's still somehow managed to remain effective in the twilight of his career, and he's once again among the major league leaders in wins. He hasn't been a great bet on the road though, with a record of 3-5 with a 4.78 ERA. He's also 3-7 with a 4.70 ERA in 11 starts under the lights. When you consider that the Mets have one of the league's worst road records, your probably better off backing Colon at home.


Totals Streak


The Tigers played 19 straight overs before they landed in Minnesota for their final series before the All Star break. They saw 2-of-4 games fall short of the number in that series, but after last night's 7-3 home win over the Orioles, they've now seen the total go over in 22-of-24. They give us little reason to suspect this trend won't continue, as they have led the majors in scoring in July, and their pitching staff has struggled. We could see a few more slugfests in the Motor City over the weekend.


Injury Notes


*Dee Gordon has been having a breakout season in Miami, sitting near the top of the National League in batting average for most of the season. With Giancarlo Stanton already sidelined with a broken bone in his hand, the Marlins can ill afford to lose Gordon. The Marlins have placed Gordon on the 15 day DL with a dislocated thumb.


*Matt Holiday returned to action for the Cardinals in Friday's series opener versus the Mets. He was 0-for-3 in the game, and could be a little rusty after sitting out the last five weeks. He could face Bartolo Colon on Saturday, and he's 6-for-13 (.462) lifetime versus the right-hander.

MLB Power Rankings: Week 15


We head into the All-Star Break with very little change at the top. But, on the heels of two dramatic wins over the MLB-best Cardinals, the Pirates jump back into our No. 2 spot. Unfortunately for Pittsburgh, finishing No.2 to St. Louis will force the Buccos to win a Wild Card game just to advance to the quarterfinal round. Our biggest mover this week is the Mets, up five spots to No. 15, while the Cubbies have fallen four spots to No. 14.



MLB POWER RANKINGS


RANK LAST WEEK CHANGE TEAM W-L (ATS) POWER RATING TEAM COMMENTS


1 1 same 56-33 (49-40-0) -129 St. Louis


It's hard to imagine this team needing much, but look for the Cards to go shopping for a 1B before the deadline. They've been using primarily Mark Reynolds since the injury to Matt Adams and the results have not been good. Adam Lind, are you ready to join the best team in MLB?




2 3 up 1 53-35 (38-50-0) -120 Pittsburgh


The week started out badly for the Bucs with news that versatile IF (2014 All Star) Josh Harrison would be lost for up to six weeks with a torn thumb ligament. It didn't matter that much as the Pirates ended the week taking three of four at home from the Cardinals and closing the gap to 2 1/2 games.




3 6 up 3 52-34 (49-37-0) -118 Kansas City


Just when the Royals were looking like they could defend their AL Title came bad news in the form of a serious groin injury to All-Star OF Alex Gordon. Gordon is as valuable for his exceptional play in the field as he is for his bat. The depth of this team will be tested now.




4 4 same 45-46 (45-45-0) -118 Toronto


Josh Donaldson set a new record for All-Star votes, but he'd gladly trade that for an AL East Pennant and a deep run in the playoffs. It would be almost to the point of shocking if this team didn't acquire a major arm or two - likely a starter and reliever - by the deadline.




5 2 down 3 51-39 (38-52-0) -117 LA Dodgers


When you look at All-Star Zack Greinke's numbers, it's not a misprint. With his eight shutout innings last week, Greinke now has an other-worldly 1.38 ERA in 18 starts. He also leads the league with a 6.1 hit rate. Bruce Bochy, I think we found your starter for Tuesday's game.




6 5 down 1 49-42 (51-40-0) -113 Houston


These days, the tonic for a losing skid is a series against the Rays, but Houston lost three straight in Tampa this weekend and found itself in a virtual tie with the Angels heading into the break. The Stros aren't used to being in this position so the most important thing is to stay focused and not panic.




7 7 same 44-44 (47-41-0) -111 Baltimore


O's pitching is really starting to falter. Bud Norris was demoted to the bullpen, giving Gausman yet another chance, but he failed miserably and was sent back to the minors while Miguel Gonzalez struggled again as well. Are the O's suddenly buyers at the deadline? Seems like they should be.




8 8 same 48-39 (40-47-0) -110 Washington


Early last week, Span and Escobar went down with injuries again, joining Zimmerman, Werth, and Rendon to bring the total offensive regulars on the shelf to five. You can't win games with a lineup that's 60% depleted no matter how good your pitching is. The good news is everyone could be back soon.




9 11 up 2 48-40 (45-43-0) -107 LA Angels


The Astros probably knew in their hearts that the Angels' slow start was too good to be true. Jerry Dipoto resigned and this team caught fire, going 8-2 in its last 10 games. Angels are second in the AL in hitting (.303 BA) and seventh in pitching (3.38) for the month of July.




10 12 up 2 41-50 (44-47-0) -107 Oakland


As soon as Sonny Gray made it back from his bout with food poisoning, the A's other ace, Scott Kazmir, had to leave his start with triceps tightness. Although the injury is deemed minor, Oakland will take no chances with Kazmir, who they most likely will be shopping in the coming weeks.




11 13 up 2 46-43 (48-41-0) -106 San Francisco


Perhaps no team needed an offensive player back from injury more than the Giants and OF Hunter Pence. Pence is one of the most consistent hitters in the league and one of the most intense as well. He returned on Tuesday and made an almost immediate impact for his team.




12 9 down 3 48-40 (47-41-0) -105 NY Yankees


To no one's surprise, A-Rod was snubbed for the All-Star game by the Players' vote despite posting what almost everyone would agree are All-Star numbers. Yankees were the only one of the top four AL East teams that has posted a winning record in their last 10 games (7-3).




13 10 down 3 47-40 (39-48-0) -104 Chi. Cubs


The heartaches at Wrigley continue. The Cubs were one out away from taking a huge series from the Redbirds, when Jhonny Peralta hit a 2-run HR to win the game and allow the Cards to leave Chicago with a split. As if that wasn't enough, Jason Hammel injured his hamstring and had to leave the game early.




14 15 up 1 49-40 (57-32-0) -104 Minnesota


Twins refuse to go away in the AL Central and are playing some great ball, especially at home. Their starters are posting a 3.42 ERA so far in July and LHP Tommy Milone is one of the biggest surprises since rejoining the rotation in early June. Paul Molitor looking like a Manager of the Year candidate.




15 20 up 5 47-42 (43-45-0) -101 NY Mets


Jacob deGrom can add an All-Star plaque to keep his Rookie Of The Year award company now. There will be no sophomore slump for the second-year ace, whose future is about as bright as any pitcher in the game. On the flip side, the Mets lost promising young LHP Steven Matz for at least one month.




16 14 down 2 42-45 (46-41-0) -100 Arizona


Being a .500 team with one legitimate superstar (Paul Goldschmidt) makes it hard to predict what the D-Backs will do at the trade deadline. Aaron Hill may garner some interest at a thin position (2B), but that's probably about it. The smart money says they sit tight.




17 19 up 2 42-46 (39-49-0) 102 Cleveland


Jason Kipnis gets a well-deserved trip to the All-Star game as he is enjoying a career year and is clearly the best hitting 2B in the AL right now. He's already matched last season's HR total, and leads the league in doubles as well. Now if only Kipnis could teach his methods to the rest of his lineup.




18 17 down 1 44-44 (42-46-0) 102 Detroit


Another rough week for the Tigers in a season that's been full of them. Detroit starters are sporting the second-worst ERA in the American League so far in the month of July (6.24). The bullpen suffered an epic 9th-inning meltdown on Friday vs. the Twins, so Detroit acquired Neftali Feliz from Texas.




19 16 down 3 46-45 (51-40-0) 102 Tampa Bay


Perhaps the biggest surprise of the week was the Rays' three-game sweep over the Astros. Don't look for this team to turn around its season however. The Rays are still almost certainly an also-ran in the AL East. Tampa has a dreadful team ERA in July of 4.98 (12th in the AL).




20 18 down 2 42-46 (51-37-0) 106 Texas


The break can't come soon enough for the Rangers who head into the All-Star week having won just one of their last eight games. Reliever Feliz is gone but Matt Harrison returned to pitch for the first time in more than a year. But the southpaw struggled and needs more work to shake off the rust.




21 21 same 42-47 (50-39-0) 108 Atlanta


Think the Braves are sending flowers to the Padres Front Office? Atlanta's salary dumps of the Upton brothers and Craig Kimbrel netted them IF Jace Peterson, OF Cameron Maybin, and SP Mat Wisler (plus others we haven't seen yet). All three look like budding stars for Atlanta. Watch out in 2016.




22 24 up 2 42-47 (38-51-0) 109 Boston


A rash of last-minute injuries that swept through the league like a plague didn't spare the Red Sox as their one and only ace, Clay Buchholz, is headed to the DL with a forearm muscle strain. It couldn't come at a worse time, as Buchholz had started pitching his team back into contention.




23 23 same 38-51 (43-46-0) 109 Miami


A little-known, second-year rookie 1B named Justin Bour is trying his hardest to fill the immense hole left by the injury to Giancarlo Stanton. Bour has emerged as the team's new main source of power, blasting 10 home runs in just 164 ABs.




24 22 down 2 39-47 (42-43-0) 112 Cincinnati


Add Mike Leake's name to that of Johnny Cueto as a starter who the Reds are shopping at the deadline. Leake will garner interest as a solid mid-to-back end rotation filler at a reasonable cost for the remainder of the season. Look for a lot of new faces on the mound for the Reds in the second half.




25 27 up 2 38-52 (42-48-0) 113 Milwaukee


Brewers got Khris Davis back after he missed more than a month with a torn meniscus. Davis should be a fixture in the Brewer outfield for some time, but this is a team which could look a lot different in the second half with everyone from Carlos Gomez to K-Rod being mentioned in trade talks.




26 26 same 41-48 (34-55-0) 113 Seattle


Iwakuma came back last week, but didn't pitch well at all in yet another setback for this club which had such high hopes just three months ago. But I wouldn't expect them to do much, if anything at the deadline. The person most likely to be leaving just might be manager Lloyd McLendon.




27 25 down 2 41-49 (46-44-0) 114 San Diego


Justin Upton's short time in San Diego may be coming to a close, as San Diego is apparently interested in moving the All-Star OF. Upton will be a free-agent next season, and there is little chance that the Pads will be able to sign him, so getting as much as they can now makes sense.




28 28 same 39-49 (46-42-0) 117 Colorado


Rockies keep falling in the rankings, and it could get a lot worse in the second half, especially if they can find the right deal for SS Tulowitzki who is on the trading block. Rockies pitching is also available, and these guys are known to pitch much better for contenders once they get out of Colorado.




29 29 same 41-45 (37-48-0) 126 Chi. White Sox


Sox pitching is coming alive. Chicago's team ERA of 2.24 in the month of July is the best in the A.L. Perhaps the most important result of that is the fact that pitchers like John Danks all of a sudden have some value on the trade market.




30 30 same 29-62 (41-50-0) 167 Philadelphia


The worst run differential in all of the Majors last season was the Texas Rangers at -136. We're a little more than halfway through the 2015 campaign, and the Phillies are sporting a -160 number. They could challenge the modern day record of -337 (2003 Tigers).

Preview: Lynx (11-3) at Shock (10-6)


Date: July 19, 2015 4:30 PM EDT

The Minnesota Lynx certainly will miss Seimone Augustus and Monica Wright, but the emergence of Anna Cruz has complemented the steady play of Maya Moore to soften the blow.


Losing star players is something the Tulsa Shock have had to overcome all season.


Visiting Minnesota seeks a fourth consecutive win while the Shock look to avoid a third straight defeat Sunday.


The Lynx (11-3) announced prior to Friday's game against Chicago that Augustus underwent arthroscopic surgery on her right knee and will be out indefinitely.


This is the first known problem in the veteran's right knee after she tore her left ACL in 2009 and missed 10 games last season with left knee soreness. Augustus was named an All-Star after averaging 15.4 points, second on the team to Moore's 19.6.


Just one day earlier, the Lynx announced Wright underwent the same procedure and also will be out an undetermined amount of time. Minnesota didn't have much trouble without them against the Sky behind Moore's season-high 29 points in an 84-66 win.


Moore has scored at least 20 in six straight, one shy of her own franchise record, but she was more pleased with the play of Cruz, who finished with 16 points, eight rebounds and five assists.


It marked the first start of the season for Cruz, who started all 34 games as a rookie for New York last season before the Lynx acquired her on draft night for the Nos. 11, 23 and 28 picks. She was playing in her fifth game since joining Minnesota earlier this month after being with the Spanish national team.


"She's a pro," Moore said. "This isn't new for her, but I'm just so impressed how she can come in mentally and get everything we're trying to do. It's taken us all of training camp and building up to this point of the season, and she's only been here a little while, but she can just hop in and get it and go."


Both teams will look much different from their previous two meetings. Minnesota won the season opener 83-75 behind 26 points from Lindsay Whalen and 23 from Moore on June 5 before Skylar Diggins had a season-high 26 in the Shock's 86-78 victory June 21.


Diggins, though, tore her right ACL exactly one week later and will miss the remainder of the season. Tulsa (10-6) also has played each game without All-Star Glory Johnson, who is sitting out due to her pregnancy.


Odyssey Sims missed over a month with a knee issue, but she's averaged 16.4 points while the Shock try to remain among the contenders in the Western Conference. She's shot just 8 for 29 over the last two, though, with Tulsa dropping both.


Sims had a season-low eight points in Wednesday's 83-80 loss to Indiana and finished with 14 in Friday's 65-58 defeat at San Antonio.


Riquna Williams has averaged 17.6 points in the last seven while starting in place of Diggins, but she scored just 10 and shot 3 of 13 from the field Friday after scoring a season-high 31 against the Fever.


The Shock, who shot a season-worst 30.9 percent against the Stars, have lost 20 of the last 22 meetings with Minnesota.

Preview: Sun (7-6) at Mystics (7-6)


Date: July 19, 2015 7:00 PM EDT

The Washington Mystics can build off their first victory in July by keeping the Connecticut Sun winless for the month Sunday night in the nation's capital.


Connecticut was supposed to be playing for a second straight night, but its home game Saturday against Indiana was postponed due to the Fever's airport delays. The Sun were to fly to this game Sunday morning but instead took a train to Washington on Saturday.


Maybe the earlier arrival and extra day off can help the Sun (7-6) halt a five-game losing streak which includes an 0-4 record in July.


Washington (7-6) was 0-3 this month before routing Indiana 68-50 on Friday. It was the fewest points allowed this season by the Mystics, who hadn't held the opposition below 70 in nine straight games.


A lineup change may have played a role, with 6-foot rookie guard Natasha Cloud starting in place of 5-6 veteran Ivory Latta. Cloud had two of Washington's 11 steals as the team forced 17 turnovers.


"Part of it was getting a bigger defender on the court to start the game. 'Tash has length a lot of teams don't have, can bother their guards," coach Mike Thibault told the Mystics' official website. "We just thought getting a bigger defender on the court at the start of the game would cause them some problems and it did."


Latta had another rough game with three points on 1-of-11 shooting. After a four-game stretch in which she averaged 17.8 points, she's scored 5.5 per contest in her past four.


Emma Messeman and LaToya Sanders both posted double-doubles, each scoring a team-high 14 points while combining for 23 rebounds. Sanders had five of the 21 assists recorded by the Mystics, who lead the WNBA with 18.2 per game.


"We're leading the league in assists because we are unselfish," Thibault said. "That's a great trait in a team that has good feelings about each other."


While Washington has had an up-and-down season, Connecticut (7-6) has taken a different route to the same record. The Sun opened with a 73-68 home loss to the Mystics in the teams' only meeting, then won seven straight before the current five-game skid.


Poor defense had been the problem with an average of 87.5 points allowed in the first four games before Connecticut shot 30.0 percent and was held to its lowest point total in a 64-57 loss at New York on Thursday.


The struggles of starters Alyssa Thomas and Jasmine Thomas have seemingly hurt the Sun. Alyssa is averaging 9.0 points, her total over the past three games, while Jasmine has averaged 3.3 on 6-of-28 shooting in the last four after going scoreless Thursday.


Alex Bentley tops the club with 17.1 points per game and scored a team-high 17 against the Mystics last month. Stefanie Dolson led Washington with 18 points and 12 rebounds.


The Mystics are 4-3 at home, but each loss was by four points or fewer. The Sun have lost their last four visits to Washington.

Stars-Sky Preview


The San Antonio Stars have held their own without Kayla McBride and Jia Perkins, largely because of Sophia Young-Malcolm's solid play.


They haven't been able to win on the road no matter who's been in uniform, though.


San Antonio could be without that duo again as it looks to prevent the Chicago Sky from winning a fourth straight home game Sunday night.


McBride leads the Stars (4-11) in scoring at 14.0 points per game and Perkins is third at 12.1, but McBride's foot injury and Perkins' calf issue have kept them out for the last five contests.


Young-Malcolm has averaged 14.2 points while San Antonio has gone 2-3 in that stretch after she finished with 18 in Friday's 65-58 home win over Tulsa. Danielle Robinson scored 10 of her 16 points in the fourth quarter to help the Stars pull away.


"I thought we just made a lot of second-effort plays on top of playing in the fourth quarter with some energy," coach Dan Hughes said. "We rebounded the ball well. We just did a good job of defensively creating a climate. We didn't foul a lot, and we didn't unnecessarily give them uncontested shots. It gave us an opportunity."


Center Jayne Appel, who returned from a three-week absence just as McBride and Perkins went down, added nine rebounds and four blocks. It's unclear when McBride or Perkins will be able to return.


"It is just about getting a rhythm," Young-Malcolm said. "I feel like our team is building a lot of chemistry at this moment. We are communicating a lot and having a little bit more fun than we did at the start of the season."


San Antonio hasn't been able to overcome its problems on the road, though. The Stars are 0-8 away from home and join Los Angeles as the only clubs yet to win a road game.


They dropped to 0-6 overall - the worst start in franchise history - after falling 95-87 in overtime at home against Chicago on June 20 despite 16 points from McBride and 16 and 11 boards from Young-Malcolm.


Elena Delle Donne had 28 points and Cappie Pondexter had 24 for Chicago (9-6), which had lost three of the previous four meetings.


Delle Donne leads the league in scoring at 24.0 points per game, but she's shot just 36.8 percent while averaging 12.3 over her last three. Delle Donne, who will start in the WNBA All-Star Game after receiving the most fan votes, finished 5 of 15 from the field and scored 14 points in Friday's 84-66 loss to Minnesota that snapped a four-game win streak.


Pondexter, who is averaging 16.7 points and could be named an Eastern Conference reserve when the roster is announced Tuesday, shot 2 of 9 and scored a season-low four.


She had averaged 22.3 over her previous three, which coincided with a home winning streak on which the Sky won by an average of 18.3 points.

Consensus FAQ


What is the Covers "All Players" Consensus?


The Covers "All Players" consensus shows the number of picks in the league cash contests made by all players. If the percentage of picks exceeds 59%, the game is highlighted.


What is the Covers "Top 10%" Consensus?


The "Top 10%" consensus works the same way, but only picks from the top 10% of the players on the Leaderboard are included with the results.


What is the Covers "Team Experts" Consensus?


Each night Covers ranks the top contest players for all teams (season to date). The top 10 players for each team are considered "Team Experts". The consensus shows the opinion of these "experts" when their team is playing.


What line is used when counting consensus picks?


Consensus picks are against all moving lines. For instance, if the line moves from 3 to 4, the consensus page for all matchups will show the total number of picks for the visitor and home team at both line values. The consensus page always displays the most recent line.


How often do the consensus numbers update?


The data on the various consensus pages are continuously updating throughout the day as picks are submitted by contest players. Updates typically are made at about 5 minute intervals, but can be slower during peak traffic times on the site.


How do you calculate the "Top Cappers" for each sport?


The Top Cappers Leaderboard for each sport is the combined total units gained for the contest player throughout the full season (all contest results combined).


What is the value of your Public Money statistics?


Covers Public Money data is a unique way to evaluate the money spent on individual teams throughout the season by the betting public. Although our numbers come from Covers free League Contests, with over 50,000 contest players participating this past year, these numbers provide an accurate comparison of where the ‘real’ betting public is laying their cash.
