Bettor's best friend: Saturday's wagering tips

Lines off the board

Atlanta Hawks at Washington Wizards – Joe Johnson (thumb) was probable heading into Friday’s game and played.

Detroit Pistons at Charlotte Bobcats – Richard Hamilton (ankle) missed Friday’s game and is doubtful. Rodney Stuckey (ribs) missed Friday’s game and is questionable. Stephen Jackson (rest) did not play on Friday and is questionable.

San Antonio Spurs at Denver Nuggets – George Hill (ankle) was questionable going into Friday’s matchup and did not play. Chauncey Billups (quad) and Carmelo Anthony (ankle) are both probable. Kenyon Martin could return to action (see note below).

Golden State Warriors at Los Angeles Clippers – Monta Ellis (flu) has missed the last four games and is doubtful. C.J. Watson (ribs) is questionable. Craig Smith (back) did not play Thursday and is doubtful.

Carolina Hurricanes at Boston Bruins – Joni Pitkanen (lower body) missed Thursday’s game and is questionable.

Toronto Maple Leafs at Montreal Canadiens

Dallas Stars at Minnesota Wild – Owen Nolan (leg) missed the last two games and is questionable. Marek Zidlicky (arm) was out for the team’s last three games and is questionable. Niklas Backstrom took a puck to the throat on Thursday but is probable.

Lines to keep an eye on

The total in the Sixers-Grizzlies game has dropped one point from its opener and now stands at 206. Philly has played to three straight overs and the last two in this series have gone over.

The Rockies opened as -172 favorites against San Diego for Friday’s game but that number can be found as low as -149 now. The total in that game has also moved from an opener of 10 to 9.5.

The opening moneyline for the Pirates-Diamondbacks game in Arizona had the home team favored at -230 but now that number has elevated to as high as -250 on some boards.

Who’s hot

Milwaukee is 7-0 ATS in its last seven games.

The Giants are 4-0 this season, earning 4.19 units on the moneyline.

Ottawa is 7-3 in its last 10 outings.

Who’s not

The 76ers are 2-8 SU and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games.

Houston is 0-3 this year heading into Friday.

The L.A. Kings are 4-6 in their last 10, dropping 4.41 units on the moneyline.

Key stat

1997 – The last year golfer Tom Watson had a Top 10 finish at the Masters. In that year, Watson was in 10th place after 36 holes of play and finished the tournament in fourth place. Watson is 3-under par at this year’s Masters and tied for ninth heading into Saturday. He may not win the major, but there might be some odds for a Top 5 finish that could be worthy of a look.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Kenyon Martin could return for the Nuggets on Saturday. While he may not have much of an impact in the game, Martin’s return would be huge for Denver heading toward the playoffs. K-Mart has missed the last 18 games and the Nuggets have gone 12-6 SU but only 6-10-2 ATS. Martin brings a down low defensive presence that has been lacking for Denver.

Games of the Day

Toronto Maple Leafs at Montreal Canadiens

Calgary Flames at Vancouver Canucks (-175, 5.5)

Notable quotable

"Look, if you're going to coach worried about injuries, don't play your guys at all ever. Sit ‘em for 82 games all year. Don't have them practice. Don't have them play. What's the difference? Do their injury chances go up tonight as opposed to playing last week? Every time you play, yeah you have a chance of getting hurt.”

-- Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said about resting his players now that his team has clinched the No. 2 playoff seed in the East.

Tips and notes

- Englishmen Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood are tied for the Masters lead heading into Saturday. The two are good friends and played a practice round together earlier in the week and apparently Poulter lost money to Westwood on seven of the nine holes. Pouler joked that he “would like to get some back [Saturday].” Poulter, who won the WGC match play event earlier this year, said that win gave him an “extra boost” heading into this week and said he feels “very comfortable” at Augusta and can be “aggressive” on the course.

- The Braves ran into a scheduling trap in their second series of the season. After playing a night game at home Thursday, Atlanta traveled out West to meet the Giants for a day game on Friday. Chipper Jones said “our biological clocks are going to be messed up for quite a while.” It didn’t help that the Bravos were taken to 13 innings in Friday’s game, a 5-4 loss. The team could be very tired heading into Saturday's and Sunday’s matchups.

- The Grizzlies have completely checked out of the season and their coach knows it. Lionel Hollins said after the Dallas game that his team wasn’t willing to “sacrifice and play hard”. Memphis has lost six of its last seven games (1-6 ATS) and dropped its last three by double digits. <!-- / message -->

Cleveland Indians at Detroit Tigers (-175, 9.5)

Detroit pitcher Nate Robertson has only made one start in the last year and a half.

The Tribe’s starting pitcher, Mitch Talbot, has made three big league appearances in his career (all in 2008) and compiled an 11.17 ERA in those games.

Talbot pitched for the Rays in 2008 and one of his three outings came against the Tigers where he surrendered five runs in 2.1 innings with five walks.

In Bonderman’s only start of 2009, he was tagged for eight hits and six earned runs in 4.0 innings of work.

Needless to say, these starters aren’t going to go very deep into the game which should equate to some bullpen runs.

Pick: Over


Chicago Cubs at Cincinnati Reds (-125, 8.5)

What happened to the Carlos Zambrano that was a Cy Young candidate year in and year out?

Big Z started Opening Day for the Cubbies and gave up eight earned runs (six in the first inning) in only 1.1 innings on the mound.

"I left some pitches over the middle," Zambrano said. "When you do that at this level, you're going to get crushed."

Zambrano may be on the decline for good. Going back to last year, Big Z has surrendered at least four runs in six of his last 12 starts.

Zambrano has a 54.0 ERA coming into this game while Cincy starter Aaron Harang is boasting a tenth of that at 5.40. Balls should be flying around Great American Ball Park on Saturday.

Pick: Over

This Day in Baseball
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On April 10 in Baseball History...

1913 - In their first official game as Yankees, New York loses to Walter Johnson and the Senators 2-1. After giving up an unearned run in the first, Johnson begins a string of shutout innings that will reach a record 56 before the St. Louis Browns score in the fourth on May 14.

1947 - Jackie Robinson becomes the first African-American in the modern major leagues when the Dodgers purchase his contract from Montreal.

1961 - The new Washington team loses its first regular-season game 4-3 to the White Sox.

1962 - Dodger Stadium, the first major league arena privately financed since Yankee Stadium in 1922-23, opens in Chavez Ravine. With 52,564 fans on hand, the Dodgers inaugurate the $22 million facility with a 6-3 loss to the Reds.

1962 - The Houston Colt .45s, in the first major league game played in Texas, beat the Chicago Cubs 11-2 before 25,000 fans. Roman Mejias led Houston's offense with two home runs.

1964 - Demolition begins on the Polo Grounds to clear the way for a housing project.

1971 - The Phillies debut in new $49.5 million Veterans Stadium by beating Montreal 4-1. Don Money connects for the park's first home run.

1973 - Kansas City opens its new park, Royals Stadium, with a 12-1 rout of the Rangers. The game is attended by 39,464 fans braving 39-degree weather.

1976 - The Brewers trail 9-6 with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning at packed County Stadium. Because of crowd noise, Yankee reliever Dave Pagan does not hear the time-out called by first baseman Chris Chambliss. Pagan pitches to Don Money, who hits a grand slam. Because of the time out, the home run is nullified. Money bats again, and hits a sacrifice fly. The final score is 9-7 and the Brewers protest the game.

1979 - J.R. Richard sets a major-league record with six wild pitches, but he strikes out 13 Dodgers and is a 2-1 winner.

1980 - In front of a crowd of 53,313, Sixto Lezcano hits a grand slam with two outs in the ninth inning to give Milwaukee a 9-5 win over Boston and Dick Drago. Lezcano also opened the 1978 season with a grand slam, the first player to do it twice on Opening Day.

1981 - In his first game for Chicago, Carlton Fisk belts a three-run home run in the eighth inning to lead the White Sox to a 5-3 win over his former Red Sox teammates at Fenway Park.

1982 - Under icy conditions, the Cleveland Indians opened the season at Municipal Stadium with an 8-3 loss to the Texas Rangers before 62,443 fans. Five hundred tons of snow had to be removed from the field; the game-time temperature was 38 degrees with a wind chill of 17.

1989 - Ken Griffey, Jr. hits his first major league home run in Seattle's 6-5 win over the White Sox. He and his father, a reserve outfielder on the Reds, are the first father-son duo to play in the major leagues at the same time.

1989 - Dave Stieb pitches a one-hitter against the Yankees, giving him three one hitters in his last four starts dating back to the previous September.

1997 - The Cubs fall to 0-8, the worst start in the club's 122-year history, following a 1-0 loss to the Marlins at frigid Wrigley Field. Florida pitcher Alex Fernandez, making his first appearance in Chicago since he left the White Sox over the winter as a free agent, is two outs away from a no-hitter when pinch-hitter Dave Hansen legs out an infield hit off the pitcher's glove. Fernandez settles for the one-hitter.

1998 - The Yankees draw the largest regular-season crowd ever at the new Yankee Stadium as 56,717 attend the home opener against the Oakland Athletics. Then the Yanks crush the club scoring mark by winning the 17-13 slugfest.

Fox Saturday Baseball

The first Saturday of the Major League Baseball season gets the Fox treatment with three games being shown regionally at 3:00 p.m. EDT. American League East powers do battle in Tropicana Field as the Yankees take on the Rays, while National League Central foes face off in the land of beer and brats. Also, the Mariners make the trip to Arlington to play against the Rangers.

Yankees at Rays

Las Vegas Sports Consultants opened the line for this contest up with the Yankees as $1.55 road favorites (risk $155 to win $100) with a total of 8 ½. The Rays can be had for a healthy plus-145 return (risk $100 to win $145).

Tampa Bay (3-1, +140) showed the ability to come from behind twice against the Orioles to start the season. Yet the Rays couldn’t find a way to get around some shoddy calls from the umpires on Thursday night to fall 5-4 as $1.60 home faves to Baltimore.

Last night's series opener showed that the Rays have the firepower to contend with the Yanks as they won 9-3 as $1.05 home pups. David Price was locked in with seven strikeouts in 7.2 innings.

The Rays will give the ball over to Wade Davis, who showed great promise as a September call-up last season. He went 2-2 with a 3.72 earned run average in six starts in 2009. Davis was much more dominant on the mound in Tropicana Field, going 1-1 in four starts and 23 strikeouts to just seven walks.

Davis has one career start against the Yankees, allowing three earned runs in five innings of work en route to a 10-2 home loss back on Oct. 4 of last season.

C.C. Sabathia will take to the mound for New York (2-2, +45) on Saturday afternoon with redemption on his mind. The Yankees’ ace looked shaky on opening night in Boston, lasting just 5.1 innings and giving up five earned runs on six hits in a 9-7 loss. The only positive for Sabathia is that he didn’t get hitched with the “loss,” saving that honor for Chan Ho Park.

The redemption factor for Sabathia also coincides with facing those bullies in Tampa Bay as he went 0-2 with a 5.84 ERA in four starts against the last year. New York didn’t do well in those games on the whole with a 1-3 mark. The totals went 2-2 in those games.

Tampa Bay has not feared many southpaws at the Trop, going 34-24 over the last two seasons. And a 9-5 mark in the Rays’ last 14 games against lefties. The ‘under’ also posting a 9-5 mark in those tilts as well.

Cardinals at Brewers

St. Louis (3-1, +195) was one of the many teams that failed to get the sweep in its season opening series. After dropping 11 runs on Monday and crossed the plate six times on Wednesday night. Yet the Cards could only muster one run against Bronson Arroyo as they lost 2-1as $1.05 road faves to Cincinnati.

The Cards were able to steal Game 1 of this series thanks to two runs in the top of the ninth inning against Trevor Hoffman to win 5-4 as $1.05 road favorites.

The Cardinals will entrust the starting duties of Game 2 of this series to Jaime Garcia. Chris Carpenter was supposed to get the start in this contest, but Tony LaRussa opted to give him an extra day of rest. Garcia is making his first start since July 20, 2008 against San Diego. He tossed five innings of five-hit ball, giving up three earned runs in a 9-5 win over the Padres.

Milwaukee (2-2 -3) opened its season with a series win over the Rockies in Miller Park. The only loss the Brew Crew suffered was a 5-3 decision on Monday as $1.05 home faves. Yovani Gallardo took the loss in that game by giving up three earned runs in seven innings of work. Gallardo will get the ball on Saturday afternoon, but don’t look for any miracles to happen since he is 0-2 with an ERA of 5.70 in four career starts against the Cards.

LVSC has tabbed the Brewers as $1.55 home faves with the total coming in at eight. Bettors looking to take St. Louis to win outright can expect a return of plus-145 on their investment. This series has been fairly even with both teams winning nine games last season. The ‘under’ went 10-7-1 those fixtures. Road teams have been the way to go at the betting window as of late since they’ve won seven straight in this head-to-head series.

Milwaukee has been profitable as a home “chalk” against left-handed pitchers over the last two years, evidenced by a 29-20 mark. In day games, however, the Brewers have lost six of their last seven tilts as home faves against southpaws.

Mariners at Rangers

The good folks at LVSC have installed the Mariners as $1.30 road faves with a total of nine. Gamblers can take Texas (2-2, -121) to pick up the outright win at plus-120.

Seattle (1-4, -300) comes into this game after being brought back down to reality after losing three of four on the road to the Athletics to open the 2010 campaign. The M’s were confused on several occasions by Oakland’s lefty Brian Anderson in the 6-2 loss to close out the series. Compounding matters for the Mariners is a series opening 6-2 loss in Arlington in a game they were never appeared to want to win.

If there is any positive for the Mariners going into this test, it’s that Felix Hernandez is taking to the mound on Saturday afternoon. He lasted 6.2 innings and gave up three earned runs on three hits to guide Seattle to a 5-3 win as a $1.52 road “chalk.”

When you look at Hernandez’s numbers from last year, you can understand why the M’s are favored. “King Felix” was 4-0 with a 2.38 ERA last April and is 4-1 with a matching 2.38 ERA in six starts against the Rangers in 2009.

Texas started the year with a great come-from-behind win to start the season. But a pair of losses to the Blue Jays just might have made team president Nolan Ryan to eat his prediction of a 92-win season.

Matt Harrison will try to help the Rangers get back on track. Not a bad choice considering that he’s gone 7-4 in 15 career home starts. You’d probably want to shade back on the ‘over’ for this one since his ERA in those 15 starts is 5.82.

Despite the decent numbers for Harrison, Seattle just might make him its personal whipping boy. The Mariners have been road favorites against left-handers six times in 2009. They went 4-2 in those contests. The ‘under’ was 5-1 in that stretch.

Texas has seen the ‘under’ go 5-2 in its last seven home games that they were listed as a pup.

New York Yankees at Tampa Bay Rays [FOX | 3:10 PM ET]

Yankees (-150, O/U 9.5): New York will be looking for a bit more today from ace SP C.C. Sabathia. Sabathia was merely average in his opening day start, as he allowed 5 runs in less than 6 innings in Boston. Sabathia has really struggled of late against the Rays, as he went 0-2 with a 5.79 ERA over 4 starts last year. Sabathia allowed 10 earned runs and 7 walks in 2 starts last season at Tropicana Field. Today marks the 1st time this season the Yankees have opened up as the listed favorite. The Yankees enjoy playing on Fieldturf, as they are 9-3 over their past 12 contests on the surface. New York has fared well against the Rays of late, winning 9 of the past 12 contests. After opening with back to back overs, the Yankees have played to the under in each of their past 2 games. The defending champions are looking up at both the Blue Jays and their opponent today in the division standings.

Yankees are 4-0 last 4 games as a road favorite.
Over is 10-2 last 12 games as a road favorite.

Key Injuries - C Francisco Cervelli (hamstring) is probable.

PROJECTED SCORE: 6 (OVER - Total of the Day)

Rays: Tampa Bay will be gunning for franchise history today, as they are looking to start 4-1 for the 1st time in history. Tampa Bay will be looking for a win today, as that would mean consecutive series wins to start the season. The Rays have started the season at home, so they would like nothing more than some momentum as they head out on the road in the competitive AL East. The Rays have really struggled as the listed underdog, going 1-10 in their last 11 opportunities. P Wade Davis was the losing pitcher on record the last time he faced the Yankees. Davis allowed 5 earned runs in 5 innings last year when facing the Yankees. Davis has been inconsistent in his short career, so he will be anxious to get this season off on a stable start.
.

Rays are 14-5 last 19 games as a home underdog.
Under is 14-5 last 19 games as a home underdog.

Key Injuries - RF Matthew Joyce (elbow) is out.

PROJECTED SCORE: 5
