Wednesday's Afternoon Action

I think it’s safe to say that we’re getting ready for the dog days of summer when it comes to betting. The NBA and NHL seasons are both about to go into hibernation. The World Cup will garner a lot of viewership, but not much in terms of action at the betting shops. That means baseball will be the only game in town for many of us at the window. Wednesday sets up a lot like that, with three games setting up during the afternoon. Let’s look at those tilts.

White Sox (18-23, -777) at Indians (14-27, -1,083) – 12:05 p.m. EDT

Cleveland hasn’t had too much to cheer about in a season that is starting to look more and more like “Major League” without the charm of Corbin Bernsen.

One thing that the Tribe has been able to take heart in is their ownership of Chicago this season, taking five of the seven head-to-head meetings. It’s just too bad they can’t figure out the rest of Major League Baseball as the Indians are 3-9 in their last 12 games this season. That includes a 1-5 mark in their past five tilts in Progressive Field.

Jake Westbrook (2-2, 4.56) hasn’t been much of an ace for the Indians this season, having dropped six of his nine starts in 2010. We should give Westbrook some credit though in that he has looked pretty good in his last three appearances, posting a 2-1 record and an earned run average of 2.70.

The White Sox did a novel thing the last time Mark Buehrle (3-5, 4.55) was on the mound…they won. Chicago’s 8-0 home win on May 21 over the Marlins was the first for both Buehrle and for the club with him on the mound since April 11. The Pale Hose lost the six games in between those triumphs.

Chicago has been installed as a $1.14 road favorite (risk $114 to win $100) with a total of 8 ½.

The ‘over’ has been hitting a great clip for the Indians right now with a 5-1 run. Chicago has seen the ‘over’ go 3-1-1 in its last five games.

Chicago has gone 4-6 in 10 road tests against teams in the American League Central. However, they have won three of its last four in this spot.

The Tribe are 5-6 against divisional foes on friendly turf, losing five of their last six. The ‘over’ is 8-3 in those decisions.

Cleveland is just 2-4 at home when taking on left-handed pitchers.

Rangers (25-20, +118) at Royals (17-27, -581) – 2:10 p.m. EDT

Most betting outlets have the Rangers as $1.10 road faves with a total of 9 ½.

The Rangers come into this contest looking to keep a decent cushion in their lead of the AL West. And there are not many teams that they’d want to face to complete that mission right now more than Kansas City. That’s because Texas pulled off a four-game sweep at home against the Royals earlier in the month.

Texas certainly needs something to right the ship at the moment since they’ve lost two straight games entering this series. But Ron Washington’s club has gone just 7-11 away from the Ballpark in Arlington this season, losing five straight. The ‘under’ has been the play for them on the road, evidenced by a 12-6 tally.

Rich Feldman (2-4, 5.90) would do well to gain some momentum in this start. He gave up four earned runs on 12 hits in a six-inning performance in a 13-7 home win on May 20. But the Rangers lost five of Feldman’s last six starts this season. The only problem is that Feldman has been garbage on the road in 2010, going 0-3 with an 8.64 ERA in three road starts.

Kansas City appears to be on its way to another slump as they’ve lost two straight games at home to the Rockies. And playing at home isn’t guaranteeing anything for the Royals since they’ve posted a 4-7 record in their last 11 matches at Kauffman Stadium. The ‘over’ has gone 12-9 for KC at home this season.

Luke Hochevar (4-2, 5.37) has been one of the brighter spots for the Royals this season on the mound. But he has lost four of his past six starts this season. Hochevar at home this year has left a little to be desired as the team is 1-2 in his three starts and he is 0-1 with a 3.92 ERA on his own ledger.

Tigers (25-19, +734) at Mariners (16-28, -1,393) – 3:40 p.m. EDT

Detroit is nipping on the Twins’ heels right now in the AL Central, sitting just one game behind in the standings. Jim Leyland can thank his lucky pack of Pall Malls (unfiltered, of course) and a 5-3 mark in the Tigers’ past eight games. Jeremy Bonderman (2-2, 4.43) has given about as much as you can want out of your No. 5 starter. He has had five straight good starts this, gaining a winning decision in just one of them. And Bonderman picked up a hold on May 16 after throwing an inning of no-hit ball against Boston in a 5-1.

The Mariners continue to prove that they are one of the most inept offenses in the big leagues. Seattle has scored just one run in its last two games and hasn’t crossed the plate more than four times in eight of its past 10 fixtures. It shouldn’t come as a shock that they are 2-6 in those eight matches.

Seattle will turn to southpaw Jason Vargas (3-2, 3.08) on Wednesday afternoon. The M’s have won two of Vargas’ past three starts this season. Even more importantly for the Mariners is that Vargas has gone 3-1 in his five starting nods at Safeco Field with a 2.41 ERA.

The M’s are $1.08 home favorites with a total of 7 ½ for this contest.

The Tigers have won three straight games on the road against left-handed pitching.

Seattle won two of its three tilts at home against AL Central foes with the ‘under’ going 2-1. Incidentally, those victories came against the Tigers back in Mid-April.

New York Yankees at Minnesota Twins (-115, 9)

The confines of Target Field have been friendly to the Twins (14-7 at home), but the team isn’t exploding offensively in its new park.

Specifically, there has been a shortage of home runs at the ballpark compared to the Metrodome. The dome averaged 2.30 homers per game in 2009 while Target Field is only giving up 1.38 longballs this season. Only Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum (0.89) and Seattle's Safeco Field (1.00) have lower averages.

"I don't know if it's the wind, or if it's farther [to the fence] than the signs say, but they're not going out," Michael Cuddyer said.

The Twinkies have slugged 38 home runs this season but only 10 of those have come inside their home park. Games played in Minnesota this year have yielded a 7-12-2 over/under record.

Target Field is gaining an early reputation as a pitchers park and until the baseball gods deem otherwise it should continue to produce unders.

Pick: Under


St. Louis Cardinals at San Diego Padres (+100, 6.5)

These two teams are leading their respective divisions but their success stems from quality pitching, not hitting.

The Cardinals rank 19th in runs scored while San Diego has plated the ninth-fewest runners in baseball this season. Both offenses are hitting under .260.

The Padres have used five different leadoff hitters this year to try and get a spark from the top of the order. That collection of players produced 17 runs and a .196 average so manager Bud Black has recently optioned for a sixth leadoff man, Luis Durango.

If you remove last weekend’s interleague series, these two teams have combined to play to the under in 11 of their last 14 games. The Friars are on a 9-15-1 over/under run in their last 25 outings.

With sluggers like Adrian Gonzalez and Albert Pujols struggling recently, don’t expect these lineups to manufacture a lot of runs.

Pick: Under

Streaking and Slumping Pitchers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Streaking

Tim Hudson (5-1, 2.09), Atlanta Braves

It must be the early 2000s all over again because Tim Hudson is pitching like Cy Young.

The veteran right-hander has yielded a total of three hits in each of his last two outings – both wins. In his last five starts, Hudson is 4-0 while giving up only five earned runs and no more than two in a single game.

“My sinker feels really good, and for me that’s the key,” Hudson said. “Stay down in the zone with it, (get) good action, stay on top of it, (with) good downward tilt.”

“He’s got that extra, late movement and that makes it frustrating,” Pittsburgh’s Ryan Church said of the sinker. “He’s a ground-ball pitcher and it looks like he’s got his arm strength back from surgery.”

Hudson is 8-2 with a 2.92 ERA in 15 career starts versus Florida.

Chad Billingsley (5-2, 3.36), Los Angeles Dodgers

After a rough first month of the 2010 season, Chad Billingsley is starting to collect himself.

In his last three outings, the righty is 3-0 with a 1.56 ERA. Billingsley didn’t yield more than four hits in each of those three starts and he struck out 18 hitters.

Billingsley likes to work fast on the mound but some analysts attributed his early struggles to being too quick between pitches and hitters.

“He was great,” manager Joe Torre said after Billingsley shutout the Padres in a 1-0 victory last week. “He was so comfortable to watch for me. He had a good tempo all game. He didn’t try to rush himself.”


Slumping

Joe Blanton (1-2, 5.06), Philadelphia Phillies

Philadelphia’s third option in the rotation hasn’t found his form since returning from injury in early May.

Joe Blanton has historically been a second-half pitcher, dropping his ERA almost a full run in 2009 post-All-Star break, so maybe he’s still working out the kinks.

This season, Blanton has surrendered no less than three runs in each of his four starts and opposing offenses are averaging a hit per inning of the right-hander.

There aren’t too many times you’re going to find the Phillies around a pick ‘em against a pitcher making his second big league start (Takahashi, Mets) but Blanton’s struggles are likely the reason.

Kevin Correia (4-4, 4.57 ERA), San Diego Padres

Kevin Correia has made two starts since his 21-year-old brother fell to his death in a hiking accident. He lost both of those games and has dropped three straight outings overall.

Correia said that when he's been on the mound he's "just concentrating on the game" but you have to wonder if his mind drifts to more personal matters, which would be completely understandable.

The righty has been tagged for four earned runs in his last two starts and registered a 2:1 strikeout to walk ratio in those games while not getting past the sixth inning.

Correia called his brother’s death the toughest think he’s ever had to deal with and until more time passes San Diego’s No. 2 guy may continue to struggle.

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

On May 26 in Baseball History...

1925 - In Detroit's 8-1 win over the White Sox, Ty Cobb becomes the first to collect 1,000 career extra-base hits. He will finish with 1,139.

1930 - Joe Sewell strikes out twice facing lefthander Pat Caraway of the White Sox. It is the last time the Indians third baseman will fan this season, striking out only three times in 353 at-bats.

1946 - At 2-for-42 and hitting .048 for the season, Mel Ott stops playing and only manages the Giants.

1950 - The Athletics make some changes. Connie Mack's son, Earle, who had been assistant manager, assumes the duties of chief scout. Earle, who had hoped to succeed his father as manager, is replaced by Jimmy Dykes. Mickey Cochrane is named general manager.

1959 - In a singular performance, Harvey Haddix of the Pirates pitches a perfect game against Milwaukee for 12 innings, only to lose in the 13th. Felix Mantilla opens the last inning by reaching base on an error. A sacrifice and an intentional walk to Hank Aaron brings up Joe Adcock, who hits one out of the park in right-center field for an apparent 3-0 victory. Aaron leaves the field, and Adcock passes him on the basepaths. Both are called out as Mantilla scores. Lew Burdette goes all the way for his eighth win, scattering 12 hits.

1976 - In a scoreless game in Anaheim, Chicago's Ken Brett has a no-hitter with two out in the ninth when California's Jerry Remy tops a slow roller down the third base line. Third baseman Jorge Orta lets the ball roll and, in a controversial ruling, it is scored a hit, though many thought it ought to be ruled an error. Brett gives up a hit in the tenth to ex-Sox Bill Melton but wins the game 1-0 in 11 innings.

1993 - Jose Canseco can't be accused of not using his head by anyone in Cleveland. The Texas right fielder drifts back to line up a long drive by Carlos Martinez and, when he turns his head to take a look at the wall, the ball skims off his glove, hits his head and bounces over the fence for a home run.

1997 - Two inside-the-park home runs are hit in a span of five minutes on Memorial Day in Pittsburgh. First, Cubs slugger Sammy Sosa touches them all in the top of the sixth inning, then Tony Womack flies around the bases in 13 seconds in the bottom of the inning. The Cubs hold off the Bucs, 2-1, but it is the first time in 21 years that two N.L. players hit inside-the-parkers in the same game.

New York Yankees at Minnesota Twins [7:10 PM ET]

Yankees: New York is struggling for perhaps the very first time this entire season. The Yankees have lost 5 of their past 6 games, so it's going to be quite interesting to see how they handle the adversity. Their last series win was against their opponent today, the Minnesota Twins. New York struggled offensively against the Mets, as they scored 4 runs or fewer in all 3 contests. Through it all, the Yankees are still 26-18 on the season. New York would be the Wild Card representative in the American League if the playoffs started today. New York will send lefty Andy Pettitte to the mound today to oppose the Twins. Pettitte is 5-1 this year, with an ERA of 2.68 and a WHIP of 1.25. The Yankees are 2-5 in their last 7 road games against a left-handed starter. New York is 4-1 in Pettittes' last 5 road starts. The Yankees are 37-18 in Pettittes' last 55 starts against the American League Central.

Yankees are 2-5 last 7 road games against a team with a home winning percentage greater than .600%.
Under is 4-0 last 4 road games against a team with a winning record.

Key Injuries - CF Curtis Granderson (groin) is out.

PROJECTED SCORE: 5

Twins (-113, O/U 9): After losing 3 straight games, Minnesota bounced back with a series win over the Brewers. The Twins are 26-18 overall this year, tied for the 2nd best record in the American League. Minnesota enjoys a nice home-field advantage, considering they are 14-7 at home this season. Minnesota is up 2.97 Units overall this year. Lefty Francisco Liriano will be the starting pitcher for Minnesota tonight. Liriano is 4-3 this year, with an ERA of 3.25 and a WHIP of 1.27. Minnesota has already faced the Yankees this season, losing 2 of the 3 games played in New York. The Twins are 42-15 in their last 57 home games against a left-handed starter. The Twins are 6-1 in Lirianos' last 7 starts with 5 days of rest. Minnesota is 1-5 in Lirianos' last 6 home starts against a team with a winning record. The Twins are 1-7 in Lirianos' last 8 starts against the American League East.

Twins are 24-9 last 33 home games.
Under is 8-3 last 11 home games.

Key Injuries - 2B Nick Punto (finger) is doubtful.

PROJECTED SCORE: 7(OVER - Total of the Day)
