Preview: Athletics at Diamondbacks

GAME: Oakland Athletics (55-74) at Arizona Diamondbacks (63-65)
DATE/TIME: Saturday, August 29 - 8:10 PM EST
WHERE: Chase Field, Phoenix, Arizona
LINE: 129, -140 TOTAL: 8.5

The Oakland Athletics seek a rare win on the road when they visit the Arizona Diamondbacks for the middle contest of their three-game interleague set on Saturday. Oakland fell to 1-10 away from home this month when it dropped a 6-4 decision in the series opener.

Brett Lawrie made it close with a two-run homer in the ninth inning, extending his hitting streak to eight games in the process, but the Athletics went on to lose for the 14th time in 16 road contests. Paul Goldschmidt capped a four-run seventh inning with a two-run shot as Arizona halted its four-game losing streak. The homer was the 109th career blast for Goldschmidt, who moved past Justin Upton for sole possession of fifth place on the franchise list. Friday's victory halted a five-game skid at home for the Diamondbacks, who improved to 31-33 at Chase Field.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Athletics LH Felix Doubront (1-1, 3.70 ERA) vs. Diamondbacks RH Jhoulys Chacin (0-1, 2.84)

Doubront will be making his seventh start of the season and third since being acquired from Toronto after leaving two innings into his outing at Seattle on Monday with a right foot contusion. The 27-year-old Venezuelan settled for a no-decision in his first start with Oakland on Aug. 18, when he struck out eight and limited the Los Angeles Dodgers to an unearned run and one hit in six frames despite issuing six walks. Doubront won his only career outing against Arizona, scattering five hits over seven scoreless innings on Aug. 4, 2013 while with Boston.

Chacin made his season - and Diamondbacks - debut on Monday and took the loss against St. Louis after giving up three runs (two earned) and six hits in 6 1/3 innings. After spending six years with Colorado, the 27-year-old Venezuelan has split 2015 between the Triple-A affiliates of Cleveland and Arizona, going a combined 6-6 with a 3.33 ERA in 19 turns. Chacin, who will be facing Oakland for the first time in his career, was 1-7 with a 5.40 ERA in 11 starts for the Rockies last year.

WALK-OFFS

1. Lawrie is 14-for-31 (.452) with five multi-hit performances during his hitting streak.

2. Arizona LF David Peralta extended his hitting streak to six games Friday with a double - his second extra-base hit in 11 contests.

3. Oakland 1B Ike Davis underwent surgery Thursday to repair a torn labrum in his left hip and is expected to be ready for spring training.

PREDICTION: Diamondbacks 6, Athletics 3

Preview: Cubs at Dodgers

GAME: Chicago Cubs (73-54) at Los Angeles Dodgers (71-56)
DATE/TIME: Saturday, August 29 - 9:10 PM EST
WHERE: Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, California
LINE: -106, -102 TOTAL: 7

The Los Angeles Dodgers attempt to stretch their winning streak to five games when the host the Chicago Cubs in Saturday's second contest of the three-game set. Chicago has scored just four runs during a three-game losing streak and lost 4-1 in the series opener as Los Angeles standout Clayton Kershaw matched a season best by striking out 14 in eight innings.

The Dodgers placed right fielder Yasiel Puig on the disabled list Friday due to a right hamstring injury suffered during Thursday's contest against the Cincinnati Reds. Puig missed 39 games earlier this season with a left hamstring injury but manager Don Mattingly indicated the club doesn't expect this ailment to be as serious. Los Angeles holds a 2 1/2-game lead over the San Francisco Giants in the National League West, while the Cubs possess a 4 1/2-game over the Giants in the competition for the second wild-card spot. Chicago first baseman Anthony Rizzo homered for the lone run Friday — his seventh of the month and 26th of the season.

TV: 9:10 p.m. ET, WGN (Chicago), SportsNet LA (Los Angeles)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Cubs LH Jon Lester (8-9, 3.44 ERA) vs. Dodgers RH Mat Latos (4-9, 4.81)

Lester received a no-decision in his last turn against Cleveland despite allowing just one run and six hits in 8 2/3 innings. He has given up two or fewer runs in six of his last seven starts and is 4-1 during the stretch. Lester is 1-1 with a 3.97 ERA in two career starts against the Dodgers and suffered the loss June 25 when he allowed four runs, four hits and four walks in four innings.

Latos is 0-2 with a 6.75 ERA in three starts since the Dodgers acquired him from Miami. He gave up five runs (four earned) and seven hits in 4 2/3 innings while losing to Cincinnati in his last outing. Latos is 7-3 with a 2.76 ERA in 12 career starts against the Cubs and took the loss July 5 despite giving up one run on one hit in seven innings as a member of the Marlins.

WALK-OFFS

1. Dodgers C Yasmani Grandal is 1-for-25 over his last nine games.

2. Chicago 3B Kris Bryant struck out in all four at-bats Friday after going 14-for-34 with four homers and 11 RBIs over the previous nine contests.

3. Los Angeles 1B Adrian Gonzalez went 1-for-4 one day after leaving a game early with knee soreness.

PREDICTION: Cubs, 6 Dodgers 4

BRANDON LEE

10* FREE MLB PICK ON RAYS -110

The Rays are worth a look here as a small home favorite against the Royals. Tampa Bay will give the rock to Jake Odorizzi, who has been lights out at home with a 2.20 ERA and 0.976 WHIP in 9 starts. KC will give the ball to Kris Medlen, who will be making just his second start since October of 2013. Royals are just 4-13 in their last 17 road games after winning 4 of their last 5, while Tampa Bay is 5-1 in Odorizzi's last 6 home starts against a team with a winning record. Roll the Rays -110!

JOHN RYAN

10* graded plays on the Atlanta Braves and the Toronto Blue Jays. The Braves host the Yankees and Toronto hosts Detroit. These plays are a continuation of my 'arbitrage' wager where I am selling the Yankees and buying the Blue Jays. The strategy started 21 days days ago when the Yankees held a 6 1/2 game lead over the Blue Jays and is based on the premise that Toronto will catch and pass the NY Yankees in the next 2 to 4 weeks if not sooner. Remember though, the timing is not important, but the trend that has Toronto taking over the lead and an building a lead over the Yankees.
For those reviewing this strategy for the first time, an arbitrage in Wall Street terms is the simultaneous buying and selling of homogenous securities. So, in the software space, Apple Computer and Microsoft would be considered homogenous securities as woulds the 10-year Treasury Note and the 2-year Treasury Note. If an investor believes that Apple will out perform Microsoft then they would engage in buying Apple and shorting (selling) Microsoft. There is a weighting calculation that needs to be applied as well to equate the securities equally since Apple trades at $115 per share and Microsoft at $47 per share.
Atlanta is lined as another significant home dog at +175 at majority of books. Yet, one simple wagering strategy is to play against teams who score 15 or more runs in the previous game. This strategy has been profitable every season.
Here is a nice supporting system that has gone 48-48, BUT has made 47.1 units/unit wagered averaging a +198 Dog play since 1997. Play on all NL underdogs with a money line of +175 to +250 (ATLANTA) with a starting pitcher whose ERA is 5.20 to 5.70 on the season and is a minimal power team averaging 0.9 or less HR's/game on the season.
Toronto has been on an incredible run that this arbitrage has taken advantage of too. Today, they have Drew Hutchinson on the hill and he is a perfect 9-0 (+9.1 Units) against the money line in home games vs. teams whose hitters draw 3 walks or less/game in the second half of the season over the last 2 seasons. Toronto will win again.
The weighting for these two plays will be an 7.5* play on the Blue Jays and a 10* play on the Braves. So, for the $10/* unit player, it equates to a $75 wager on the Blue Jays and a $100 wager on the Braves.

Jeff Saad of Las Vegas Sports Services

8/29/2015: Saturday Bonus Play:

Free Pick: Miami heads out on the road with the second worst offense in baseball in runs scored. They head to Washington, a big park, and the team is on a 5-1 run under the total. Tom Koehler (3.98 ERA) has good stuff and took his 12th loss despite a quality start Monday against the Pirates, as he allowed two runs on seven hits and four walks over six innings. He struck out six. The under is 5-2-2 in Koehler's last 9 road starts. Washington has a fine arm going in Jordan Zimmermann (3.54 ERA), with a 2.68 ERA at home. The under is 4-1 in Zimmermann's last 5 starts vs. the Marlins and this total is too high. Play the Marlins/Nationals Under the total.

Premier League betting preview: Manchester United out for revenge against Swansea
By SOCCER AUTHORITY

The next round of Premier League fixtures is almost upon us. Soccer Authority breaks down what you need to know.

Newcastle (+500) Draw (+333) Arsenal (-150)

There’s no reason to believe Arsenal won’t take maximum points on Saturday. The Gunners have a fantastic record against “Bottom 6″ teams away from home.

Arsenal also lead the league (last 20 games) in the ‘Team to score first’ category. Arsenal have found the back of the net first in 14 of their last 20 games.

Newcastle, meanwhile, are yet to win a game in the Premier League this season (Drawn 2, Lost 1).

Key Stat: Arsenal have scored an average of 2.3 goals against Newcastle (last 15 games)
Injuries & Suspensions: Arsenal – Wilshere, Welbeck, Rosicky, Mertesacker (questionable). Newcastle – Sissoko (questionable)

Chelsea (-250) Draw (+420) Crystal Palace (+1000)

There’s no question that Chelsea’s defense is not what it was last season. The Londoners rank among the worst defenses in the Premier League with seven goals conceded in three games.

Crystal Palace pose a real threat to Chelsea this Saturday. The Eagles have already notched up two wins from their first three games with wins over Norwich and Aston Villa.

Key Stat: Crystal Palace have beaten Chelsea only once in the last 24 years (16 games)
Injuries & Suspensions: Chelsea – John Terry, Oscar. Crystal Palace – Mile Jedinak, Wickham (questionable)

Manchester City (-400) Draw (+650) Watford (+1400)

As the odds suggest, this game should be very one-sided. Man City have a fantastic record of 13 wins from 14 games against newly promoted teams and have won seven of their last eight home games ‘To Nil’ (Without conceding a goal).

Key stat: Watford have failed to score a goal in their last 247 minutes of soccer (All competitions)

Those of you who can bet on Manchester City ‘To win to Nil’ should take advantage (+110) on most books.

Injuries & Suspensions: Manchester City – Fernando, Pablo Zabaleta. Watford – Miguel Britos, Lloyd Doyley

Swansea (+270) Draw (+250) Manchester United (+125)

Manchester United are fresh off a 7-1 aggregate win over Club Brugge in the Champions League and their talisman Wayne Rooney got off the mark for the season with a hat-trick so confidence is sky high.

However, Swansea have caused Man United a lot of problems recently. Last season the Swans took six points with a 2-1 win in Old Trafford and another 2-1 victory in Liberty Stadium.

Key Stat: Manchester United have kept a clean sheet (shut-out) in their last four Premier League games.
Injuries & Suspension: Swansea – None. Manchester United – Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo (Doubtful)

STEVE MERRIL

MLB Screen Shot – Saturday

Cardinals @ Giants — Pitching rematch of the August 18th matchup in St. Louis as Lance Lynn will take on Ryan Vogelsong once again. Lynn gave up 2 runs and four hits in 6.2 innings of work. That resulted in a 2-0 loss to San Francisco. Lynn is winless against the Giants in seven career starts, sporting a 5.50 ERA in those games. Ryan Vogelsong got the win in that game after giving up just two hits and one walk in six innings of work. But he has ugly career numbers against the Cardinals; 4.97 ERA in 13 career starts. I lean Over 7 (-110) in this game.

Marlins @ Nationals — Miami’s Tom Koehler has allowed 10 runs and 13 hits in his last 12 innings pitched against Washington. Bryce Harper is 7-for-21 against Koehler with five of those hits being home runs. Washington’s Jordan Zimmermann is 7-4 with a 3.28 ERA in 20 career starts against the Marlins. Miami’s offense is significantly worse without Giancarlo Stanton, so Zimmermann should control the Marlins lineup in this game. Under 7.5 (-120) looks like the best way to play this game.

Cubs @ Dodgers — Jon Lester will get his second look at the Dodgers this season. Lester lost at home back in June after allowing 4 runs and four hits in four innings of work. He walked four batters in that game. The Dodgers’ offense is only hitting .245 while scoring 3.8 runs per game against left-handed starters. LA’s Mat Latos is 7-3 with a 2.76 ERA versus the Cubs in his career. However, I expect Lester to pitch much better in this game, so I lean to the Cubs (-110) on Saturday night.

Astros @ Twins — Houston’s Michael Fiers comes into this game in Minnesota off a no-hitter eight days ago. This will be the righty’s third start against the Twins this season; he has given up 3 runs and 11 hits in 11.1 innings of work. Mike Pelfrey is 4-2 with a 1.97 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in eleven home starts this season. The Twins (+130) are a live underdog in this game, especially since I’m always looking to fade pitchers coming off a rare event like a no-hitter.

MLB Betting Cheat Sheet: The Wright Stuff

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

The Wright Stuff

David Wright returned to the Mets lineup on Tuesday, and he hit a home run in his first at bat. The Mets have been tearing the cover off the ball, batting a major league best .402 over the last seven days. New York has won seven in a row heading into Friday’s game versus Boston, and there may be no end in sight as their next nine games come against teams with a losing record.

Home of the Braves

Atlanta is not a popular team with the betting public, and more often than not they are an underdog even at home. The Braves have managed to win six of their last 10 home games, and they are 33-26 overall at home this season. They host the Yankees this weekend, and they will most certainly be an underdog in all three games.

Cruz Control

Seattle’s Nelson Cruz has seized control of the home run race. His 39 homers so far are four more than Baltimore’s Chris Davis who is second in the majors. Cruz is on a tear in the second half, batting .346 since the All Star Break. The Mariners are in Chicago this weekend, and John Danks will start Game 1, and Cruz is batting .304 with a home run and 4 RBIs lifetime versus Danks.

Hitting Notes

* Michael Cuddyer got off to a slow start with the Mets, but he’s really picked up the pace since the All Star break. The 36 year old was 7-for-11 with a pair of home runs and six RBIs in a four game series at Philadelphia, and he’s batting .350 in August.

* Mike Trout has only hit one home run in August, and that was three weeks ago. He’s batting just .205 this month, and he may have fallen behind Josh Donaldson in the AL MVP race.

Pitching Notes

* Mike Fiers pitched a no-hitter against the Dodgers in his last start, and he’s scheduled to go Saturday in Minnesota. He’s faced the Twins twice already this year, pitching well in both games despite a record of 0-1 with a 2.38 ERA.

* Julio Teheran has become quite underrated this year, and his overall numbers (9-6, 4.29 ERA) don’t exactly stand out. He has been dominant at home though, going 7-1 with a 2.55 ERA in 13 starts. He will start Sunday at home against the Yankees.

Totals Streak

* The Phillies have been getting crushed lately, losing six of their last seven home games. All seven of those games went over the total, and the Phillies have trended over at a rate of 27-6-4 in their last 37 home games.

Injury Notes

* It’s a bit of good news vs. bad news for C.C. Sabathia, as the left-hander has been told he will not require surgery on his injured knee. The bad news is that he may be relegated to the bullpen after going 4-9 with a 5.27 ERA as a starter.

* Adam Jones is banged up after crashing into a wall in Kansas City on Thursday, and his status for Friday’s game remains uncertain.

Weather Notes

* Wind will be blowing in from rightfield at around 12 miles per hour in Arlington when the Texas Rangers host the Baltimore Orioles Saturday.

My Friends..
Yes another football season is upon us. I trust we all had a good summer..yes I have another subscription to GMC. ..which brings me to answer common email messages I receive ..every year once and only.
yes-GMC=Gold Medal Club
why? because I was sucked in friends into those "covers" experts that are no better than us at games. dont waste money on that crap..l feel obligated to share my good fortune every year..Karma maybe
how? invitation only..truly I was lucky had an Asian golf friend that I became aware of this.
so, thats it,
Sportsbooks- my preference is Pinnacle..SIA is good too...just stay out of there casino...just bad
