Texas Rangers best 'under' play in baseball

The Texas Rangers continue to lead the MLB 'under' standings as they are now owners of a 36-60-6 o/u record.

Texas and the New York Yankees played under the 7.5 closing total Thursday afternoon after the Yanks clipped the Rangers by a score of 2-0.

The Rangers have gone over the total just once in their previous 12 games and are 1-9-2 o/u in that span.

Any $100 bettor would be up $733.65 if they had wagered the 'under' in each of the Rangers' last 12 games.

The Cleveland Indians host the Rangers for a three-game weekend series which opens Friday. Texas' Martin Perez is scheduled to get the start against Cleveland's Corey Kluber.

Pittsburgh Pirates still top of the money standings

The Pittsburgh Pirates continue to exert their dominance in our money rankings. The Bucs currently sit atop the league up +25.12 units so far in 2013.

The Pirates have not finished on the plus side of the money standings since the 2003 season when they finished a pedestrian +0.85 units. They flirted with finishing on the plus side of things the past couple of seasons but have been cellar dwellers most seasons in between.

The Washington Nationals defeated the Pirates by a score of 9-7 Thursday. Pittsburgh currently sports a 60-40 record following the loss and are 2 games behind the N.L. Central leading St. Louis Cardinals.

The Miami Marlins host the Pirates for a three-game weekend series which opens Friday. Jeff Locke (9-2, 2.11 ERA) is slated to take the mound for the Pirates against Miami's Henderson Alvarez (0-1, 3.28).

Stampeders at Blue Bombers: What bettors need to know

Calgary Stampeders at Winnipeg Blue Bombers (+5, 48.5)

The Calgary Stampeders emerged from their record-setting comeback against the Montreal Alouettes with their third-string quarterback at the helm. Bo Levi Mitchell may see his first career CFL start when the Stampeders visit the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Friday. Starting quarterback Drew Tate suffered an injury to his throwing arm in Week 2 and backup Kevin Glenn left last week’s game in the third quarter with an injury - also to his throwing arm - leaving Mitchell to toss two touchdown passes and seal the 38-27 victory.

Winnipeg also has issues with the health of its quarterback as Buck Pierce is questionable to start this week after being hit hard in the abdomen during a 35-19 loss to the Toronto Argonauts. Pierce, who has thrown five interceptions and two touchdowns, will likely be replaced by backup Justin Goltz, who completed 13-of-15 passes for 170 yards in the second half against Toronto. The Blue Bombers would not elaborate on the severity of Pierce’s injury, which adds more uncertainty to an offense that has not scored more than 20 points in a game since Week 1.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, TSN

ABOUT THE STAMPEDERS (3-1, 3-1 ATS): Running back Jon Cornish had 109 yards and one touchdown on 11 carries against the Alouettes and is second in the league with 413 rushing yards, behind Saskatchewan Roughriders running back Kory Sheets. No other player has more than 300. Cornish, who led the league with 1,457 rushing yards last year, was limited to 42 yards against the Roughriders in Week 2 - the only time he has been held to fewer than 100 combined yards this season. Defensive lineman Charleston Hughes leads Calgary with four sacks but missed last week’s game because of a wrist injury.

ABOUT THE BLUE BOMBERS (1-3, 2-2 ATS): Pierce is one of many players questionable to play Friday. Wide receiver Chris Matthews and defensive tackles Bryant Turner and JT Gilmore are all suffering from various ailments. Defensive end Alex Hall has six of Winnipeg’s 19 sacks, including the only one against Toronto. Linebacker Henoc Muamba leads the team with 22 tackles and added a sack, but the potential loss of Turner could leave a big hole that the third-year tackle - who is second on the team with three sacks - would need to fill. Running back Chad Simpson was limited to 50 rushing yards last week and is fourth in the league with 256 through four games.

TRENDS:

* Over is 4-1 in the last five meetings in Winnipeg.
* Stampeders are 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven meetings in Winnipeg.
* Stampeders are 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine games overall.
* Blue Bombers are 1-4 ATS in their last five home games.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. The Stampeders are second in the CFL Power Rankings (behind Saskatchewan) following their home-and-home sweep of the Alouettes. The Blue Bombers are seventh.

2. Winnipeg is the only East Division team not to face a West Division opponent yet.

3. Calgary K Rene Paredes still has a shot at reaching the CFL record for 30 straight made field goals after officials decided that last week’s blocked kick happened behind the line of scrimmage, ruling it a fumble instead of a missed kick. Paredes, named Special Teams Player of the Week, has made 29 consecutive field goals.

CFL betting: Fade material in home dogs

The Canadian Football league enters Week 5 Thursday night with the Edmonton Eskimos at Montreal Alouettes.

One trend that has jumped out is that of the home underdog.

Of the 16 games played thus far heading into the Week 5, the home dog is 0-4 ATS. Both the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Eskimos are 0-2 ATS as home dogs.

The fifth week of the CFL calendar has a couple of opportunities to visit this trend. The Calgary Stampeders are in Winnipeg to face the Blue Bombers Friday. Winnipeg is currently a 5-point home dog.

Also, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats are 4-point home underdogs with the unbeaten Saskatchewan Roughriders in town Saturday evening.

The final matchup of the week, the BC Lions at Toronto Argonauts, is currently off the board.

Mighty Quinn

Mighty missed with the Rangers on Thursday and likes the Blue Jays on Friday.

The deficit is 1420 sirignanos.
