MLB Betting News and Notes - Week #23
•The Dodgers Call Up Joc Pederson: Lots of minor leaguers will make their way to the bigs starting today as minor league seasons end and major league rosters expand. One of the better ones coming up is Joc Pederson, who was just called up by the Dodgers from Triple-A Albuquerque. Pederson won the Pacific Coast League MVP Award after batting .303/.435/.582 with 33 home runs and 30 stolen bases over 121 games this season. It’s an open question how much playing time he’ll get, but Don Mattingly now has good young player at his disposal who can handle all three outfield positions.
•Hamels, Phillies Bullpen Combine To No-Hit Braves: Wildness cost Cole Hamels a chance at his first no-hitter, but the Philadelphia Phillies left-hander got to share in a combined one. Hamels didn't allow a hit through six innings and the bullpen did the rest as the Phillies recorded their first shared no-hitter and 12th overall in a 7-0 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Monday afternoon before 34,178 at Turner Field. Hamels, who came in 3-0 with a 1.16 ERA in his past four starts against the Braves, walked five and hit a batter, but also struck out seven. He threw 108 pitches in the heat and humidity, with 66 of them strikes.
"It wasn't a hard decision," said Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg of removing Hamels. "He was pretty much spent ... and he wasn't going to go nine (innings)." Left-hander Jake Diekman struck out two in the seventh inning, right-hander Ken Giles fanned the side in the eighth and closer Jonathan Papelbon closed the no-hitter out in the ninth, getting second baseman Phil Gosselin to line out softly to first baseman Darin Ruf for the final out of the combined no-hitter. "I understood coming around the sixth inning that it was going to be a short game," Hamels said. "It was nice to see what we could do together. It was fun to watch them and create something very special."
•Mariners Suspend Montero For Rest Of Season: The Seattle Mariners' suspended catcher Jesus Montero for the remainder of the season on Monday following an altercation with a team scout last week. Montero was on a rehab assignment with short-season Everett when he went after a cross-checker scout with a bat during Thursday's game when the scout heckled him. Montero went into the stands with a bat after the scout ordered him to hustle off the field in Spanish and had an ice cream sandwich sent to him in the dugout. Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik called the behavior of Montero and cross-checker Butch Baccala "unacceptable" and "embarrassing."
"We are extremely disappointed in both of their actions. It is unacceptable," Zduriencik said. "This organization doesn't condone that type of behavior. It is being addressed as we speak. There are no excuses for either party. We have none. We don't intend to make any. It's something that is extremely disappointing and embarrassing for the organization and for those two individuals." Baccala, who was overseeing other Mariners scouts, was apparently teasing Montero about his weight. Montero had reported to spring training 40 pounds overweight. At the time of the incident, Montero was acting as first base coach.
After exchanging words, Montero had to be physically restrained when he tried to enter the stands where the scout was sitting while carrying a bat in his hands. Montero swore at the scout, threw the ice cream sandwich at him and then was pulled back by Everett pitching coach Nasusel Cabrera, according to the Boise official scorer. Montero was not ejected from the game. He remained in the Everett dugout until the end of the contest. Everett won 13-8. Montero, 24, is batting .286 with 16 home runs and 74 RBIs in 97 games with Triple-A Tacoma this season.
•Top prospect Norris Gets September Call-Up: Daniel Norris is the latest Toronto Blue Jays pitching prospect to graduate to the big-leagues this season after becoming one of the club’s September call-ups, multiple industry sources told Sportsnet. The promotion caps a season of rapid progress for the 21-year-old, who began the campaign at single-A Dunedin, dominated there, before moving up to double-A New Hampshire and, later, triple-A Buffalo. In 26 games, 25 starts, at the three levels, the 2011 second-round pick is 12-2 with a 2.53 ERA in 124.2 innings, with 163 strikeouts against 43 walks. Norris joins Marcus Stroman and Aaron Sanchez in breaking through with the Blue Jays this year. Kendall Graveman, another rapidly progressing prospect, is also being considered for a September callup, as is Sean Nolin, who made his big-league debut in an emergency start last year.
Anthony Gose, Ryan Goins and Dan Johnson, who’s been rehabbing a leg injury at Buffalo, are also expected to be among the Blue Jays’ additions as rosters expand to up to 40 men. Another new arrival will be John Mayberry Jr., acquired from the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday night for minor-league infielder Gustavo Pierre. Mayberry, 30, gives the Blue Jays another right-handed option in the outfield, at first base and designated hitter with his career .856 OPS against left-handed pitchers. Essentially, the next month will be a free look at him for the Blue Jays, who will have two spots available in the outfield next year with Melky Cabrera and Colby Rasmus headed for free agency. Mayberry has two years of arbitration remaining and is earning $1.59 million this year.
Around The League
--The Houston Astros fired manager Bo Porter on Monday after a 59-79 record in his second season. General manager Jeff Luhnow named Tom Lawless as the interim manager for the remainder of the 2014 season. Luhnow also fired bench coach Dave Trembley. "This was not an easy decision to make. We wish Bo nothing but the best in the future," Astros owner Jim Crane said in a statement. "Jeff has my full support moving forward. Our goal to bring a championship to Houston remains."
Porter, 42, had been the Astros manager since the start of the 2013 season after being named to the position on Sept. 27, 2012, while serving as third base coach for the Washington Nationals. He compiled a 110-190 record (.367 winning percentage) in parts of two seasons as Astros manager. Adam Everett will join the coaching staff, replacing Trembley as bench coach. The remaining coaches will continue in their current roles.
--The Brewers activate Matt Garza. For the first time since July 20, the Brewers wake up this morning with some company in first place. But now they’re getting a bit of a reinforcement: they’ve activated Matt Garza from the disabled list. Garza will return to the Brewers’ starting rotation on Wednesday against the Cubs. He missed about a month with a left oblique strain. Garza is 7-7 with a 3.58 ERA and a 104/43 K/BB ratio in 145 and two-thirds this season
--The Philadelphia Phillies traded outfielder John Mayberry Jr. to the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for minor league third baseman Gustavo Pierre. The trade was made before Sunday's midnight waiver trade deadline Mayberry, 30, batted .213 with six home runs and 21 RBI in 63 games (29 starts) for the Phillies this season and had recently been on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Lehigh Valley for left wrist inflammation.
--St. Louis Cardinals right hander Michael Wacha threw 34 pitches in a rehab game Sunday night for Double-A Springfield at Tulsa. He allowed a hit and a walk with a strikeout. Cardinals right hander Jason Motte pitched the eighth inning of that game and threw 12 pitches in a 1-2-3 inning. The organization hasn't decided the next step for either pitcher yet.
--The Cleveland Indians activated designated hitter Jason Giambi off the disabled list. The 43-year-old Giambi had been on the DL since June 12 with an inflamed knee. He also has missed time this season because of a broken rib and strained calf. In 47 at-bats this year, Giambi is hitting .128 with two home runs and five RBIs.
--With rosters eligible to be expanded up to 40 players as of Sept. 1, Miami activated LHP Dan Jennings and RHP Carter Capps off the disabled list. Capps, who has hit 100 mph with his fastball, has a 4.78 ERA in 96 career innings in the majors, including 3.00 in nine innings this season. Capps, 24, hasn't pitched in the majors since May 25.
--LA teams lead World Series odds as majors head into final month. We are now in the final month of the Major League Baseball season and as teams make a final push towards the post season, it looks like the two teams from Los Angeles have the inside edge when it comes to winning the World Series this October. According to LV Superbook, the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Los Angeles Angels are the favorites to win the Fall Classic, currently they are both listed at 4/1. The Washington Nationals have the next best odds in the National League at 5/1, while over in the American League it's the Baltimore Orioles at 6/1. Check out the complete list below.
