MLB Betting News and Notes - Week #17
•Peacock Cashing In For Under Backers: Houston Astros pitcher Brad Peacock has been a stud for bettors backing the Under in recent games. In the 26-year-old's last seven outings, the Under is 6-1. Houston sends Peacock to the bump when they face off against the Oakland Athletics in the Bay Area (10:05 PM EST) on Wednesday evening. BetOnline.com presently lists the Athletics as heavy -235 favorites on the moneyline with a total of 7.5.
•Dodgers Dominating Lefties, Face Liriano Wednesday: The Los Angeles Dodgers have been feasting on left-handed pitching lately. In their last nine games versus southpaws, Los Angeles is a 8-1 through Tuesday. Pittsburgh Pirates lefty Francisco Liriano will be on the mound when the Pirates host the Dodgers at PNC Park (7:05 PM EST) on Wednesday night. The Pirates are currently -135 favorites on the moneyline with a total of 7.5, per BetOnline.com.
•Athletics Agree To Coliseum Lease Extension: The Oakland Athletics will continue to make their home in O.Co Coliseum. The team reached agreement on a 10-year lease extension to remain in a facility that has experienced sewage and lighting problems recently. A's owner Lew Wolff signed off on the agreement after the Oakland City Council made several modifications last week. The Alameda County Board of Supervisors must give final approval, which is considered a formality.
The Athletics have played in the Coliseum since 1968. "I'm very pleased that this is behind us and we can now get on with our various activities," Wolff said. Both sides squabbled during lease negotiations for the past few months. There were threats that the team could move from Oakland, and concessions were made for the team to pay reduced rent. As part of the deal, Wolff agrees to continue discussions about building a new ballpark in Oakland.
•This Club Has Been A Boon For Over Bettors: If you've been backing the Over in the Philadelphia Phillies games recently, you've been making some nice profits. In Philadelphia's last eight confrontations, the Over is 7-1 (87.5%) through Tuesday. The Phils host the San Francisco Giants (7:05 PM EST) Wednesday. BetOnline currently has San Francisco as -134 favorite on the moneyline with a total of 7.5.
•This Umpire Loves High Totals: Over backers will be glad to see Paul Emmel behind the plate for Wednesday afternoon’s’ meeting between the Colorado Rockies and Washington Nationals at Coors Field (3:10 PM EST). In Emmel's last 10 games calling balls and strikes, the Over is a red-hot 7-1-2. The Nationals are currently -158 with a total of 10, per BetOnline.com.
•Royals Owning ChiSox In Chicago: The Kansas City Royals have struggled mightily in the past little while, but Royals backers have some hope heading into their matchup against the Chicago White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field (2:10 PM EST) on Wednesday afternoon. Through Tuesday, the Royals are 10-2 in their last 12 meetings (83.3%) with the White Sox in the Windy City. BetOnline.com currently lists the game as a pick 'em with a total of 7.5 for the matchup.
•Lohse, Brewers Trending Under Against Reds: When Milwaukee Brewers right-hander pitcher Kyle Lohse has faced the Cincinnati Reds recently, the Under is a scorching hot 6-0. Lohse gets the nod for the Reds against the Brew Crew at Miller Park (2:10 PM EST) Wednesday. The Brewers are presently -154 favorites on the moneyline with an Over/Under of 7.5, according to BetOnline.com.
•Ump Trend You Need To Know: Umpire Will Little will be behind the plate for Wednesday afternoons's matchup between the Cleveland Indians and Minnesota Twins, which means Under backers need to take note.

Tuesday's MLB Roundup
-- The New York Yankees acquired third baseman Chase Headley and cash considerations from the San Diego Padres on Tuesday in exchange for infielder Yangervis Solarte and right-hander Rafael De Paula. The 30-year-old Headley is scheduled to become a free agent after the season. The Padres agreed to pay $1 million of the remaining $3.968 million on his $10.525 million contract this year.
Headley has not reached the production level he achieved two years ago when he hit 31 home runs, led the National League with 115 RBIs in 161 games, finished fifth in the league's Most Valuable Player balloting and won Gold Glove and Silver Slugger awards for the Padres. This year, he has battled injuries and is batting .229 with seven home runs and 32 RBIs in 77 games. Solarte, 27, is hitting .254 with six home runs and 31 RBIs in 75 games for the Yankees. De Paula, 23, was 6-5 with a 4.15 ERA in 20 games, including 17 starts, for Class A Tampa this year.
-- The Colorado Rockies placed shortstop Troy Tulowitzki on the disabled list Tuesday with a left hip flexor strain. Tulowitzki left Saturday night’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates with a cramp in his quadriceps and had missed two games since then before the team made the announcement before Tuesday night's matchup with the Washington Nationals. The 29-year-old Tulowitzki, considered a National league MVP candidate this season, is leading the NL with a .340 batting average, a .432 on-base percentage and a .603 slugging percentage. He has 21 home runs and a major league-leading 71 runs scored in 91 games this season.
-- Opening Day second baseman Darwin Barney was designated for assignment on Tuesday by the Chicago Cubs to make way for outfielder Emilio Bonifacio on the roster. The 28-year-old Barney played in 72 games for the Cubs this year and batted .230 with two homers and 16 RBIs. Bonifacio returned from the disabled list for a game with San Diego. Barney played in 141 games or more each of the past three seasons. Since joining the Cubs in 2010, he batted .246 with 16 homers and 130 RBIs while providing good defense.
-- The Cleveland Indians recalled right-hander Danny Salazar from Columbus and optioned right-hander C.C. Lee to Triple-A before Tuesday night's game against the Minnesota Twins in Minneapolis. Salazar has made eight starts for the Indians this season and posted a 1-4 record with a 5.53 ERA. He was optioned May 16 to Columbus, where he posted a 3-6 record with a 4.02 ERA and two complete games in 10 starts.
-- The Oakland Athletics will continue to make their home in O.Co Coliseum. The team reached agreement on a 10-year lease extension to remain in a facility that has experienced sewage and lighting problems recently. A's owner Lew Wolff signed off on the agreement after the Oakland City Council made several modifications last week. The Alameda County Board of Supervisors must give final approval, which is considered a formality. The A's have played in the Coliseum since 1968.
-- There are no plans to limit or shut down right-hander Garrett Richards, who is 14 innings shy of his 2013 mark of 145 while leading the Los Angeles Angels with an 11-2 record and 2.47 ERA in 20 starts. General manager Jerry Dipoto said skipping Richards in the final two months of the season or putting a hard cap on his innings total are not options the team is discussing. Richards failed to pitch into the seventh inning just six times in 20 starts. He is at 131 1/3 innings this season, closing in fast on his career-high of 145 in 2013.
-- The Tampa Bay Rays placed right-hander Joel Peralta (illness) on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to July 13, and called up left-hander Jeff Beliveau from Triple-A Durham. Peralta was bitten by a mosquito in the Dominican Republic during the All-Star break.
-- The Texas Rangers placed catcher Geovany Soto on the 15-day disabled list with tightness in his right groin that will require an MRI Friday in Texas. Soto had returned just three games ago from a long stint on the disabled list after knee surgery when the latest injury occurred.
-- The Philadelphia Phillies placed outfielder John Mayberry Jr. on the 15-day disabled list with left wrist inflammation and called up outfielder-first baseman Darin Ruf from Triple A. Meanwhile, left-hander Cliff Lee reported no problems after pitching Monday for the first time since returning after spending two months on the disabled list with a strained elbow.
-- San Francisco Giants outfielder Angel Pagan (back) took swings off a tee Monday, but there is still no timetable for his return. "It's a step in the right direction," manager Bruce Bochy said. First baseman Brandon Belt (concussion) is progressing slowly. He could start taking swings in a few days, but it appears unlikely he'll return from the seven-day DL when eligible on Sunday.

•Incredible Stat of the Day
Brewers RF Ryan Braun is batting .410 with two homers and eight RBIs during a 10-game overall hitting streak, and .426 with 13 RBIs while hitting safely in 13 straight at home. Braun is having a good season, without question, with a .354 on-base percentage. He's on track to accumulate a respectable 63 extra-base hits — but with 19 homers and 37 walks, very different from his 2012 totals of 41 homers and 63 walks.

July 23rd, 2014
Another straight forward winner yesterday. 8-2 in the last 10. 16-6 in July.
MLB PLAY OF THE DAY
Cleveland Indians ML (-125)
Risking 2.5 units to win 2 units
1:10pm start
Bauer, Swarzak must start
Cleveland has won 7 of 10 and limited opponents to 3 runs or less in 5 of 7 games. They’ve won 10 in a row when keeping teams at the 3 runs or under mark. The Indians have won 4 out of 6 games since the break and are hitting well as a team. They were able to attack early going up 3-0 in the 2nd and another 4 runs packed on in the 9th to defeat the Twins 8-2 last night. Carlos Santana had 4 hits and a homer yesterday giving him 7 hits and 5 RBIs since Friday. Micheal Brantley has 12 hits in his last 10 games.
The Twins have lost 4 of 5 and 8 of their last 10 home games have been losses as well. Minnesota has given up 4 or more runs in 6 of 8 games. They rank 4th last in ERA at 4.28 and continue to drop games (15 of 16) when giving up more than 3 runs.
Trevor Bauer is 2-0 with a 2.75ERA in his last 3 starts. His road numbers need improvement (1-3, 5.29) and going up against a team that hasn’t seen him yet this season will help his cause. Cleveland is 4-0 in his last 4 starts and Bauer is in good form to lead and control the game.
Anthony Swarzak is not a starter and needs to fill the void with Kyle Gibson getting scratched. He’s an awful 0-3, 10.13ERA in his last 3 starts but he’s been a relief pitcher all season. His 4 starts and 12 relief appearances over Cleveland has given him a 1-5, 7.34ERA with batters going .343 against him. The Indians are 39-19 in recent Game 3’s in a series and this is a rubber match between these two where I expect Cleveland to win.

Game of the Day: Reds at Brewers
Cincinnati Reds at Milwaukee Brewers (-144, 7.5)
The Cincinnati Reds will attempt to avoid a winless road trip upon resuming play after the All-Star break when they close a three-game series in Milwaukee against the Brewers on Wednesday. The Reds have lost five straight games – scoring 11 total runs – as they have staggered coming out of the break. Milwaukee has put a stretch in which it lost 11 of 12 in the rear-view mirror as Tuesday’s 4-3 walk-off victory was its fourth in six games.
Brewers All-Star catcher Jonathan Lucroy hit two solo homers – including the game-winning blast in the ninth – Tuesday for his first homers since July 4. Ryan Braun and Aramis Ramirez hit back-to-back solo shots in the first inning and Braun has gone 16-for-39 with two homers and eight RBIs during a 10-game hitting streak. The Reds have lost eight consecutive road games since winning at San Francisco on June 29.
TV: 2:10 p.m. ET, MLB Network, FSN Ohio (Cincinnati)
LINE HISTORY: Books opened the Brewers as -152 favorites, but that has moved to -144. The total has held at 7.5.
POWER RANKINGS: Reds (-159), Brewers (-181)
INJURY REPORT: Reds - SS Zack Cozart (Questionable, finger), 1B Joey Votto (15-day DL, oblique), 2B Brandon Phillips (15-day DL, thumb).
WHAT CAPPERS SAY: "With Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips sidelined, it's going to be an uphill battle for the Reds. The Brew Crew are right where they want to be entering the break, but how long can they keep it up?" Sean Murphy.
PITCHING MATCHUP: Reds RH Mike Leake (7-8, 3.63 ERA) vs. Brewers RH Kyle Lohse (10-4, 3.16)
Leake has allowed four runs in each of his last two outings and has given up 37 hits in 25 2/3 innings over his past four turns. He has split two 2014 decisions with the Brewers and recorded the victory June 15 despite being touched up for four runs and nine hits over five innings. He is 2-1 with a 4.43 ERA in seven career starts against Milwaukee.
Lohse snapped a three-start winless stretch by defeating Washington on July 18. He allowed just one run in seven innings while notching the victory but gave up a season-worst 10 hits. Lohse is 0-1 with a 3.97 ERA in two starts against Cincinnati this season and possesses a 5-5 mark and 3.01 ERA over 17 career outings against the Reds.
TRENDS:
* Under is 5-0 in the last five meetings.
* Reds are 0-8 in their last eight road games.
* Over is 11-5 in umpire Chris Segal's last 16 games behind home plate.
* Brewers are 4-1 in Lohses last five starts as a favorite.
CONSENSUS: 59.78 percent of wagers are backing the Brewers.

MLB betting cheat sheet: Jays, Red Sox Continue Over Trend
Here's a comprehensive look at betting notes for the mid-week major league games:
Jays, Red Sox Continue Over Trend
A late two-run homer from Stephen Drew didn't mean much to the Red Sox in a 7-3 loss to Toronto, but it did send the total Over for the fifth straight time in the head-to-head series. The teams are 6-1-1 O/U for the season.
Jesse a Giant Favorite
Oakland right-hander Jesse Chavez will look to continue his hot streak as a favorite Wednesday, entering at -255 when the Athletics host the Houston Astros. Chavez is 5-0 against the moneyline in his last five starts as a favorite, with three of those results coming at home.
Gee No Whiz vs. Brewers
New York Mets right-hander Dillon Gee may have his hands full Thursday night as he faces the host Milwaukee Brewers. Gee has yet to beat the Brewers in his career, going 0-3 with a 6.75 ERA in three starts.
Pitching Notes
* San Francisco ace Madison Bumgarner hopes to maintain his dominance away from AT&T Park on Wednesday as he leads the Giants (-140, 7.5) into Philadelphia. Bumgarner is 7-2 with a scintillating 1.94 ERA in 11 road starts so far this season.
* New York Yankees righty Brandon McCarthy has adjusted well to his move to the Bronx as he prepares to face the visiting Texas Rangers on Thursday. McCarthy was the worst value pitcher in baseball while with Arizona, but is 2-0 against the moneyline in two starts since being traded.
Hitting Notes
* Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Melky Cabrera is heating up, recording three three-hit games in his last four outings to raise his average to .309. The Blue Jays are 22-15 against the moneyline and 21-16 O/U when Cabrera records a multi-hit game entering Wednesday's game against Boston.
* San Francisco catcher Buster Posey has owned his career matchup with Philadephia lefty Cole Hamels, who gets the call Thursday against the visiting Giants. Posey is 7-for-11 versus Hamels, with four doubles and a home run.
Totals Streak
New York Yankees (7-1 O/U): The pitching has thrived even without injured ace CC Sabathia, limiting opponents to three runs or fewer in seven of the last eight games. The recent Under streak has dropped the Yankees to 43-55-1 O/U for the season.
Prop of the Day
It's one of the longest shots of the day, but it may be worth taking a flyer on the Nationals and Rockies to play to a push (+1,000). The Rockies rank second in the majors with nine pushes, while the Nationals and Pirates are tied with eight apiece.
Injury Notes
* Houston Astros oufielder George Springer missed his second straight game with knee and quad injuries. The Astros have struggled without their hard-hitting rookie, going 1-4 against the moneyline and 1-3-1 O/U in his absence entering Tuesday's game against host Oakland.
* The Colorado Rockies have placed shortstop Troy Tulowitzki on the 15-day disabled list with a left hip flexor strain. Tulowitzki has fought through a variety of ailments this season, missing time earlier in the year with quad and groin injuries.
Weather Watch
* Wind at U.S. Cellular Field will blow out to right field at 14 mph for Wednesday's game between the host Chicago White Sox (-102, 7.5) and the Kansas City Royals. The White Sox were just 2-6 O/U under similar conditions in 2013, with teams averaging a paltry 1.62 homers per game.
Umpire Note of the Day
Over is 7-1-2 in umpire Paul Emmel's last 10 games behind home plate. Emmel will call the balls and strikes for Wednesday's showdown between the host Colorado Rockies and the Washington Nationals.

Wednesday's Tip Sheet
By Kevin Rogers
Dodgers at Pirates – 7:05 PM EST
Probable Pitchers:
LAD: Haren (8-7, 4.30 ERA)
PIT: Liriano (1-7, 4.43 ERA)
Series recap: These two teams split the first two games, as the Pirates held off the Dodgers last night, 12-7 to cash as -115 favorites. Los Angeles captured Monday’s opener, 5-2 as a short underdog, but the Pirates own a 4-2 record against the Dodgers this season.
What to watch for: The Dodgers have performed well in series finales of late, winning seven of the past nine in this situation. Los Angeles is winless in Haren’s last three starts, while the Dodgers are 6-2 to the ‘over’ in his past eight trips to the mound. One of Liriano’s best outings of the season came at Chavez Ravine in late May, as the southpaw tossed 5.2 innings of scoreless baseball in a 2-1 road victory.
Giants at Phillies – 7:05 PM EST
Probable Pitchers:
SF: Bumgarner (11-7, 3.38 ERA)
PHI: Burnett (6-9, 4.08 ERA)
Series recap: The Giants have remained hot in the second half by capturing the opening two contests at Citizens Bank Park to improve to 4-1 the last five games. On Tuesday, San Francisco held off Philadelphia in 14 innings, 9-6 to pick up its fourth straight road victory in this series dating back to last July.
What to watch for: San Francisco is nearly automatic with Bumgarner on the mound away from AT&T Park, as the team has put together an 8-3 mark in his 11 road starts, including a blowout of Miami in his last outing. Also, the Giants have hit the ‘over’ in five consecutive starts made by Bumgarner, as the first two games of this series has seen the ‘over’ connect. The Phillies have dropped eight of their last nine home contests, while the ‘over’ is 4-0 in Burnett’s past four trips to the mound.
Red Sox at Blue Jays – 7:05 PM EST
Probable Pitchers:

The ‘over’ has cashed in five straight meetings between these division rivals, while the victorious squad in all eight matchups this season has scored at least six runs.
What to watch for: Toronto has dropped six of the last seven starts made by Dickey, while the ‘under’ is 7-1 in the knuckleballer’s past eight trips to the mound. The Sox have won each of Buchholz’s previous three away starts, while Boston owns an 8-0 record in Buchholz’s last eight starts against Toronto at Rogers Center since 2009.

What to watch for: Baltimore has won four of its past six road series finales, while the O’s go for just their second road sweep of the season (first came at Tampa Bay in May). The Angels have compiled a 6-0 record in Weaver’s last six starts, while the Halos are 8-2 in his past 10 outings at Angel Stadium.

Rounding The Bases - Wednesday
#909 MIAMI @ #910 ATLANTA
TV: 7:10 PM EST, SportSouth Atlanta
Line: Braves -165, Total: 7.5, -120
Buy or sell is the question facing the Miami Marlins as the July 31 trade deadline approaches, and at 6 1/2 games out of the final National League wild-card spot the next few days could determine their strategy. The Marlins visit the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday, riding a three-game winning streak, and published reports Tuesday indicated Miami may have renewed interest in Oakland reliever Jim Johnson to bolster its fatigued bullpen. The Braves may stand pat at the deadline, although their feast-or-famine offensive showing of late may change that approach.
Atlanta has averaged 8.8 runs in its past four victories and 2.3 in its past three defeats, and the upcoming schedule is not kind to the Braves’ hopes of outlasting Washington in the NL East. The Braves play the Los Angeles Dodgers seven times while taking on Washington and Oakland three games each by Aug. 17. Miami’s relief corps has pitched a major-league high 119 innings since June 15, and gave up three runs in four innings Tuesday as the Marlins held on for a 6-5 victory.
PITCHING MATCHUP
•Marlins RH Nathan Eovaldi (5-5, 4.08 ERA, WHIP: 1.262) - Eovaldi started the second half with a thud, giving up a season-high eight runs on nine hits in four innings Friday against the Giants. He is 1-3 in his past seven starts with a 6.15 ERA, giving up five or more runs four times. Eovaldi is 1-0 with a 1.29 ERA in three starts against the Braves this season, allowing one run on three hits in seven innings to win at home April 30.
•Braves RH Ervin Santana (8-6, 4.03 ERA, WHIP: 1.284) - Santana has pitched well since a three-game losing streak, winning three of his past four starts while allowing only one homer in 27 innings. He beat the Phillies on Friday, allowing three earned runs on six hits in six innings despite striking out only one. Santana is 1-0 in two starts against Miami in 2014, giving up three runs on seven hits in six innings to win at Miami on May 31.
•PREGAME NOTES: Miami 2B Donovan Solano is hitting .405 in his past 13 games following his career-best, four-hit performance Tuesday.... Atlanta LF Justin Upton homered Tuesday and is 11-for-27 during his current seven-game hitting streak.... Miami LF Christian Yelich has a 16-game road hitting streak, recording two or more hits in 10 of those contests.
•KEY STATS

WNBA Picks - Roxxyfish
Sorry guys unlucky yesterday with Lynx -5 , they blow a 14 point lead in the last quarter,and on top Maya Moore who scored 48 points was not able to made the last free throw in double OT to bring home the PUSH at least, these are those plays that makes you mad I know,but there is nothing you can do
We have one of those SUPER early tip offs this morning in Washington, and I have a strong opinion in this, the Washington Mystics struggled at home all season,i like them more on the road, but the Mystics have won 5 of the last 6 meetings against the Connecticut Sun include 2 games this season
but, this is a new game and I really like the chances from The Sun today, there is a big injury concern for the Mystics today, 3 players have to deal with, especially missing Tiarra Ruffin Prat would be a huge blow for the Mystics, she comes from a career high game 18 points against the Sparks and also missing veteran Kara Lawson would have much impact against this young, high caliber Connecticut Sun team
07/23/14 G Tierra Ruffin-Pratt Ankle "?" Wednesday vs. Connecticut Sun
07/22/14 G Kara Lawson Back "?" Wednesday vs. Connecticut Sun
07/22/14 F Jelena Milovanovic Knee "?" Wednesday vs. Connecticut Sun
Connecticut Sun have the problem sometimes to finish out games and protect their leads,thats why the Sun made another late transfer and signed former LA Sparks forward Ebony Hoffmann, she is a experienced WNBA player and can surely support Katie Douglas in leading this young and talented Connecticut players
We will see which players will be available this morning, but have an eye on the line, I cant imagine it stays at 4.5 when all 3 questionable Mystics players will be ruled out.
Connecticut Sun +4.5
is what i recommend to jump on this morning, good luck all
