Saturday’s NFL Week 1 Preseason Betting Primer

The opening week of the NFL preseason continues with three games on the board Saturday.

Here’s a look at betting notes for the three matchups:

♠ San Francisco 49ers at Houston Texans (-2.5, 35.5)

*49ers coach Jim Tomsula is unsure whether or not linebacker NaVorro Bowman will see the field. “If he plays, it’s going to be a short block of plays,” Tomsula said. “It would be more for the other guys than it is for him – breaking the huddle with his voice, that kind of stuff.”

*The Texans are still yet to name which quarterback will be there starter Saturday. It is expected to be a close competition between Brian Hoyer and Ryan Mallett in traqining camp and a big game Saturday could mean a lot.

♠ Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Minnesota Vikings (-3.5, 36)

*The Buccaneers are expected to play Jameis Winston into the second quarter Saturday according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times.

*Adrian Peterson has been suffering from bruised thigh and is not going to see any playing time Saturday. Sophomore Jerick McKinnon should get a lot of work, with the converted triple-option quarterback flashing potential last season.

♠ Kansas City Chiefs at Arizona Cardinals (-2.5, 36)

*With No.1 cornerback Sean Smith suspended for the first three games of the season, expect rookies Marcus Peters and Steven Nelson to see plenty of time on the field for the Chiefs.

*The Cardinals are continuing to take the careful approach with Carson Palmer. The 13-year veteran is getting at least one day off per week and is expected to only be on the field for one drive Saturday.

Saturday’s NFL Preseason Tips
By Tony Mejia

♠ Buccaneers at Vikings (-3 ½, 36) – 8:00 PM EST

Tampa Bay

Head coach: Lovie Smith (22-22 SU, 19-23-2 ATS in preseason)

Quarterback rotation: Jameis Winston (Rookie), Mike Glennon, Seth Lobato

Minnesota

Head coach: Mike Zimmer (5-0 SU, 4-1 ATS in preseason)

Quarterback rotation: Teddy Bridgewater, Shaun Hill, Mike Kafka, Taylor Heinicke (Rookie)

The Winston era begins in Tampa Bay against a sturdy defense that held the Steelers to just three points in the Hall of Fame game last Sunday. He’ll play into the second quarter, so there will be plenty of film to dissect next week as the curtain is lifted on the 2015 No. 1 pick. As was the case with No. 2 pick Marcus Mariota, expect a side of miscues with a helping of promising brilliance. Zimmer has yet to lose a preseason game and is rightfully favored to stay perfect. Teddy Bridgewater looked sharp in his lone drive in Canton despite taking just 10 snaps and is expected to at least double that output here. Multiple defensive starters who took the night off in the opener will start and play about a quarter, but the desire to save Adrian Peterson for games that count in the standings remains. He won’t play.

♠ 49ers at Texans (-2 ½, 35 ½) – 8:00 PM EST

San Francisco

Head coach: Jim Tomsula (No preseason record)

Quarterback rotation: Colin Kaepernick, Blaine Gabbert, Dylan Thompson (Rookie)

Houston

Head coach: Bill O’Brien (2-2 SU, 2-2 ATS in preseason)

Quarterback rotation: Brian Hoyer, Ryan Mallett, Tom Savage

Jim Harbaugh treated preseason games with disdain. The 49ers were outscored 57-3 in the first two contests last year, including a 34-0 loss to Denver to open Levi’s Stadium that certainly rubbed the higher-ups the wrong way. Tomsula takes over amid little pressure to produce immediately since Frank Gore and so much of the defense has turned over, creating the need for a new identity. It starts on the road against a team looking to find a quarterback in addition to a viable replacement for Arian Foster, who is expected to miss two to three months. O’Brien lost last season’s preseason opener 32-0 in Arizona, but should have a firm grip on how to handle Year 2, especially since he’s picking a brand new QB.

♠ Chiefs at Cardinals (-3, 36) – 9:00 PM EST

Kansas City

Head coach: Andy Reid (28-36 SU in preseason)

Quarterback rotation: Alex Smith, Chase Daniel, Aaron Murray, Tyler Bray

Arizona

Head coach: Bruce Arians (4-4 SU, 5-2-1 ATS in preseason)

Quarterback rotation: Carson Palmer, Drew Stanton, Logan Thomas, Phillip Sims (Rookie)

This game will be all about surprising comebacks, from KC safety Eric Berry’s triumphant return eight months after being diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma to Palmer’s return from his latest torn ACL, suffered last November. Both are likely to play sparingly, but Cardinals fans will enthusiastically cheer both. Arizona’s promising season went into the toilet without a capable replacement for Palmer once Stanton strained his MCL in December. He’ll be back for limited duty too, but the bulk of the snaps over the final three quarters will ultimately go to Thomas and Sims, engaged in a competition to be this year’s Ryan Lindley. Arians has won each of his preseason openers as a head coach thus far, but he’ll settle for just seeing his top guys get out unscathed after a few completions. The Chiefs are entering Year 3 of his tenure in Kansas City, having gone 20-12 but missing the playoffs last year. He’s 1-1 in preseason openers with the Chiefs and 1-3 in road games. Dating way back to his lengthy Eagles tenure, it’s well known that Reid tends to put little emphasis on wins and losses in the preseason outside of the pivotal Week 3 dress rehearsal. Kansas City starters are expected to play one quarters.

3-Unit Play. Take the Kansas City +3 over Arizona

Play the Kansas City Chiefs ATS as my 3-Unit NFL Selection for Saturday night. When it comes to NFL exhibition games you must always look more at the depth charts and teams with more players who are competing for positions and the Chiefs trump the Cardinals here Sunday significantly which is why this is a 3-Unit Play.

The Cardinals are not taking any chances with their QB’s in this game as their 3rd string Logan Thomas and 4th string rookie QB Philip Simms will get the majority of playing time. The Cardinals running-backs are hurting and their 3rd and even 4th and 5th string (because large pre-season roster) will see the majority of the snaps. To put it mildly offensive production will be very minimal for the Cardinals Saturday.

The Chiefs however are very deep on both sides of the ball and that will be the major difference here as the Cardinals are already dealing with some major injuries and setbacks. I have reached out for this game because I liked it so much on paper and my contacts have assured me of a major mismatch here Saturday. The wrong team is favored here and I have the Chiefs winning by at least 1 TD in what should be a pre-season blowout.

Game of the Day: CFL Doubleheader

B.C. Lions at Hamilton Tiger-Cats (-9, 50.5)

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats look to continue their winning ways when they host the BC Lions on Saturday. The Tiger-Cats scored 31 first-half points en route to a 38-8 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to earn their third straight victory, and pull into a three-way tie for top spot in the East Division.

Hamilton is 8-0 in regular-season games at Tim Hortons Field since the stadium opened on Sept. 1, 2014, including a 19-17 victory over the Lions last October, and hopes to improve to 4-1 against West Division opponents this season. BC snapped a two-game skid with a morale-boosting 26-23 victory over the Edmonton Eskimos in Week 7. Andrew Harris seems to be fully recovered from an ankle injury, which kept him out of the last five games of 2014, as he’s rushed for more than 100 yards in his last two contests and leads the league with 519 yards on the ground. The Lions have scored at least 36 points in three of the last six meetings with the Tiger-Cats and look for their first win against an East Division foe after failing to the Ottawa Redblacks and Toronto Argonauts earlier in the year.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, TSN

INJURY REPORT: Lions – G Cody Husband (Ques-Undisclosed), DL Ese Mrabure-Ajufo (Ques-Undisclosed) Tiger-Cats – OL Landon Rice (Ques-Undisclosed), OL Brian Simmons (Ques-Undisclosed), DT Drake Nevis (Ques-Undisclosed)

LINE HISTORY: The Tiger-Cats opened as 8-point favorites before jumping a full point to -9. The total has fallen half-a-point from 51 to 50.5.

WHAT CAPPERS SAY: “The Hamilton Tigercats will host the B.C. Lions on Saturday, and Hamilton will be asked to cover a significant spread. The Ticats have never lost at Tim Horton’s Field, and they’ve covered the spread in 10 of their last 11 overall. The Lions are a formidable opponent though, coming off an upset win at home over Edmonton. B.C. has won four of the last six meetings in this series, and both games Hamilton won were decided by single digits.” –  Will Rogers

ABOUT THE LIONS (3-3 SU, 2-3-1 ATS, 3-3 O/U): Harris was named one of the CFL Top Performers of the Week after he accounted for 175 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns to lead the Lions past the Eskimos. “Andrew Harris is a tremendous running back and he’s one of the biggest threats in the CFL,” BC fullback Rolly Lumbala told reporters. “Just when you think he’s hit his peak he surprises you with another crazy run.” Travis Lulay overcame two interceptions to finish with 195 yards and two touchdowns, but has thrown six picks in his last three outings.

ABOUT THE TIGER-CATS (4-2 SU, 5-1 ATS, 1-5 O/U): Emanuel Davis became the first Hamilton player to return two interceptions for touchdowns in the same game and earned one of the CFL Top Performers of the Week honours for his feat against the Blue Bombers. “I’m just happy to be part of something great this year,” Davis told reporters. “I just had to wait for my time and luckily it’s paying off right now.” Zach Collaros threw for 280 yards and three touchdowns and has racked up 793 passing yards and seven scores during Hamilton’s three-game winning streak.

TRENDS:

*Lions are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 road games.

*Tiger-Cats are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall.

*Under is 8-2 in Lions last 10 road games.

*Under is 4-0 in Tiger-Cats last 4 games following a S.U. win.

Ottawa Redblacks at Calgary Stampeders (-8.5, 48)

The Calgary Stampeders look to stay undefeated at home when they take on the Ottawa Redblacks on Saturday. The Stampeders erased a 17-point deficit en route to a 25-22 victory over the Montreal Alouettes in Week 6 to improve to 4-0 at McMahon Stadium, and have won 10 of their last 11 home games dating back to last season.

Calgary is tied with the Edmonton Eskimos for first place in the West Division with eight points and hopes to pull ahead of its provincial rival by avenging a 29-26 overtime loss to the Redblacks on July 24. Ottawa has already doubled its win total from a year ago following a 26-23 victory over the Alouettes in Week 7. Henry Burris is back on track after two disappointing displays against the Eskimos as he’s thrown for 712 yards and five touchdowns in his last two games, including 389 yards and three scores against the Stampeders three weeks ago. Ottawa hopes to win three consecutive games for the first time in franchise history and break out of the three-team logjam at the top of the East Division.

TV: 10 p.m. ET, TSN, ESPN2

LINE HISTORY: The Stamps opened at 7.5-point favorites before jumping a full point to -8.5. The total has remained at 48 since open.

INJURY REPORT: Redblacks – WR Chris WIlliams (Ques-Undisclosed) Stampeders – WR Joe West (Ques-Leg)

WHAT CAPPERS SAY: “The Ottawa Redblacks come into Calgary as a big underdog this weekend, despite the fact that both teams have an identical 4-2 record. The Redblacks already upset the Stamps in Ottawa earlier this year, and they rank second overall in the CFL in total defense. It might be worth noting that all four of the Stampeders wins this season have come in games decided by less than a TD.” –  Will Rogers

ABOUT THE REDBLACKS (4-2 SU, 4-2 ATS, 3-3 O/U): Ottawa made some roster moves as it signed running back Travon Van and released Jock Sanders. “We brought Jock in hoping to implement him a bit more offensively but it hadn’t gotten to that point,” Redblacks general manager Marcel Desjardins told reporters. “He’s been good, but he hasn’t been what we’d hoped he’d be.” Chris Williams had seven catches for 162 yards and a touchdown in the first meeting with Calgary and leads the team with 432 receiving yards.

ABOUT THE STAMPEDERS (4-2 SU, 0-6 ATS, 1-5 O/U): Calgary signed running back Keith Toston, who was cut at the end of preseason, to the practice squad to provide depth with Jon Cornish out for the foreseeable future with a broken thumb. “Keith had a really good training camp for us and he knows our system,” Stampeders coach John Hufnagel told reporters. “If his numbers gets called he’ll be ready to go.” Defensive back Adam Thibault sustained an ankle injury in the first meeting with the Redblacks but is likely to return in time for Saturday’s contest.

TRENDS:

*RedBlacks are 4-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.

*Stampeders are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games overall.

*Over is 4-1-1 in RedBlacks last 6 games following a S.U. win.

*Under is 5-0 in Stampeders last 5 home games.

5-Unit Play. Take Hamilton Tiger-Cats -7.5

Five To Follow MLB Betting: Saturday, August 15, 2015 Opening Line Report
by Alan Matthews

How about those Toronto Blue Jays? I stayed on their bandwagon to win the AL East even when they were seven games back of the Yankees. Now they are an unstoppable force and have jumped to the +300 second-favorites behind Kansas City (+160) to win the American League pennant and -175 favorites to win the AL East. On Thursday, the Blue Jays beat Oakland — catching a break in that A’s ace Sonny Gray was a game-day scratch with back spasms — for their 11th straight win, tying a franchise record. It’s their second 11-game winning streak of the season, the first from June 2-14. Toronto is the first team since the 1954 Indians with two streaks that long in a season. That Cleveland team went an incredible 111-43 but was upset in the World Series by the Giants, a team that finished 14 games behind the Tribe.

♦ Yankees at Blue Jays (-118, 8)

With David Price going Friday in the Jays’ series opener against the Yankees, I fully expect the team to be going for a 13th straight win Saturday afternoon. Entering Price’s outing, Blue Jays starters had permitted three earned runs or fewer in 17 straight games, one shy of the club record. Saturday’s game will be nationally televised on the MLB Network and have live betting at sportsbooks. It’s surprising Marco Estrada (10-6, 3.21) for Toronto. He pitched in New York last weekend, when Toronto swept, and shut out the Bombers on three hits over 6.1 innings. Carlos Beltran is 4-for-17 with two homers off him. Brian McCann is 6-for-15. Mark Teixeira 2-for-7 with two homers. New York’s Masahiro Tanaka (8-5, 3.79) took the loss opposite Estrada, allowing two runs over six innings. Edwin Encarnacion is 5-for-10 with a homer off him.

Key trends: The Yankees are 7-1 in Tanaka’s past eight vs. teams with a winning record. The Jays are 5-1 in Estrada’s past six vs. the AL East. The “over/under” is 5-1 in Tanaka’s past six vs. the AL East. The under is 4-0 in Estrada’s past four at home.

Early lean: I say Tanaka ends the winning streak. Go under.

♦ Cubs at White Sox (+121, 8)

When you think NL Cy Young, you probably think Zack Greinke, Clayton Kershaw or Gerrit Cole. Well, start thinking the Cubs’ Jake Arrieta (13-6, 2.38). He has had 10 straight quality starts and hasn’t allowed a run over his past two, with just six hits in 14.2 innings. He dominated the White Sox on July 12, throwing a complete game and allowing one run and two hits, striking out 10. Alexei Ramirez is 5-for-13 off him. Adam LaRoche just 1-for-13. It’s lefty Jose Quintana (6-9, 3.59) for the White Sox. He was opposite Arrieta on July 12 and took the loss, allowing three runs over 7.1 innings. The Sox have lost five of his past seven. Dexter Fowler is 3-for-6 off him. Kris Bryant 1-for-3 with a triple.

Key trends: The Cubs are 4-0 in Arrieta’s past four road starts. The Sox are 1-6 in Quintana’s past seven on Saturday. The under is 5-2 in the Cubs’ past seven against a lefty. The over is 4-1 in Quintana’s past five.

Early lean: Cubs and under.

♦ A’s at Orioles (-153, 8.5)

It’s unlikely you see Orioles catcher Matt Wieters here. He left Tuesday’s game with a right hamstring strain and was to be re-evaluated Friday. He is hitting .278 with five homers and 17 RBIs but wouldn’t rule out playing at some point this weekend. Miguel Gonzalez (9-8, 4.45) starts this one for the Orioles. They have lost his past three, and he hasn’t lasted more than 5.1 innings in any of them. Gonzalez pitched in Oakland on Aug. 4 and allowed three runs in 5.1 innings. Coco Crisp is 3-for-5 with two doubles off him. Brett Lawrie is just 3-for-20. Chris Bassitt (1-4, 2.48) goes for Oakland. He was opposite Gonzalez on Aug. 4 and shut out the Orioles on five hits over seven innings. Bassitt has allowed no more than three runs in any of his seven starts. Chris Davis is 1-for-2 with a double off him.

Key trends: The A’s are 5-1 in their past six on Saturday. The Orioles are 0-4 in their past four against the AL West. The over is 7-2 in Gonzalez’s past nine overall.

Early lean: A’s and over.

♦ Angels at Royals (-179, 7.5)

Los Angeles got bad, but not really unexpected, news, on Thursday when lefty C.J. Wilson was ruled out for the rest of the season. He will have surgery to remove bone spurs from his elbow. He had been pitching through discomfort earlier this season and was placed on the DL two weeks ago. He went around the country getting opinions on whether a non-surgical option was available so he could return in 2015, but the answer was no. Wilson finishes the year 8-8 with a 3.89 ERA. Might the Angels now try and make an August trade for an arm? Matt Shoemaker (5-8, 4.36) goes here for L.A. The Halos have lost his past three and he was rocked last time out, allowing seven runs in 5.2 innings at the White Sox. The Royals’ Lorenzo Cain is 4-for-6 with a homer off him. Ben Zobrist is 6-for-9 with three doubles and a homer. It’s Johnny Cueto (8-7, 2.53) for the Royals. I wrote earlier this week how great Cueto’s K.C. home debut was as he threw a complete-game four-hitter against the Tigers on Monday and got standing ovations every inning. Albert Pujols is 7-for-29 career off him. Shane Victorino is 5-for-10 with two homers.

Key trends: The Angels are 12-3 in Shoemaker’s past 15 on the road. The Royals have won four straight on Saturday. The under is 5-1 in Shoemaker’s past seven.

Early lean: Zobrist hitting prop, Royals and under.

♦ Rays at Rangers (+128, 8.5)

Shocker: the Rangers’ Josh Hamilton is breaking down again. He missed a second straight game Thursday with soreness in his left knee and was to have an MRI on Friday. Following a quick start with Texas after being acquired from the Angels, he hasn’t done much. Might as well shut him down for 2015. The Rangers go with Colby Lewis (12-5, 4.61) here. He is 5-1 at home this season despite a 5.27 ERA. The Rays’ Evan Longoria is 2-for-9 off him. John Jaso is 1-for-8. It’s Rays ace Chris Archer (10-8, 2.62). One of his worst outings of the year was May 7 vs. Texas where Archer lasted only 3.1 innings and allowed five runs. Adrian Beltre is 1-for-9 off him. Elvis Andrus is 4-for-9 with two RBIs.

Key trends: The Rays are 6-2 in Archer’s past eight road starts vs. teams with a losing record. The Rangers are 6-1 in Lewis’ past seven vs. teams with a winning record. The under is 4-1 in Archer’s past five on the road. The under is 4-0 in Lewis’ past four vs. Tampa.

Early lean: Rays and under.

NEWSLETTER MLB Baseball Prediction From Doc’s Sports

Take ‘Over’ 7.0 Washington at San Francisco (10 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 15)

It’s hard to trust either of the starting pitchers in Saturday’s game between the Nationals and Giants. Gio Gonzalez and Jake Peavy have both seen better days as neither has found a groove in 2015. Gio has respectable numbers across the board, but he hasn’t dominated hitters like he has for long stretches in each of the last five seasons. Peavy is well past his prime at the age of 34, and every start seems like a struggle for him. His numbers are solid, but his problem has been getting deep into games. We will see the bullpens at work for both teams in this game, and that should bode well for the opposing offenses. The Nats are finally healthy, and their lineup has a lot more firepower than earlier in the season. The Giants have also been swinging the bats better with Hunter Pence in the middle of the order. This one should be able to get OVER the total.

NEWSLETTER NFL Futures Prediction From Alan Harris

Take San Francisco 49ers ‘Under’ 7.0 Wins (-155) (January 2016)

This is a lot of juice to lay on a win total here, so if you can find 6.5 at -110 or -115, feel free to play it because there’s a chance that the 49ers could be the worst team in the NFC this season. They have lost too many players on defense to list, and they really have left Colin Kaepernick with no weapons on the offensive side of the ball. Justin Smith, Patrick Willis and Chris Borland are all gone from a defensive unit that wasn’t all that great last season, and while he was probably going to be suspended to start the year, Aldon Smith was someone that the Niners thought they could count on once he was back. That plan went up in smoke late last week when the team decided to cut him after Smith had another run in with the law. Bringing in Torrey Smith will help a bit on the offensive side of the ball, but he’s not really a No. 1 at this point in his career, and with nobody else behind him, teams are going to be able to shut him down on the deep ball. Throw in the fact that the three other teams in the division all improved in the offseason, and we’re laying the big price on the under here on the 49ers because if they struggle early, they are going to mail it in and possibly be a 3-4 win team when it’s all said and done.

In fact in there last (5) away matches they allowed 2 goals per game and scoring atleast one goal on the road per matchup. Viking has 13 goals in there last (5) hoime games which inculdes a game where they got shutout. Take out that game they scored at home 3,3,3,and 4 goals. Last two times they matched up at Viking, 5 goals where score in each contest. I expect the same Saturday.

NFL PRESEASON 60 DIMES GAME

TODAY’S WINNER: HOUSTON TEXANS

The Texans Passing should get the best of the 49ers defense. The 49ers have young conerbacks, and their secondary are light. The Texans will rely on second year QB Tom Savage, who has been looking like a stud on the field. The 49ers have many changes to the offense, as well as the coaching position. I expect the 49ers to fall short, when their second string comes in. Lay the money on the Texans at home.

Jerome Williams – Is he Finally Getting Hot After 10 Seasons?

4:10 pm Philadelphia Phillies at Milwaukee Brewers

Here’s a game you won’t want to miss as the Phillies try to climb over the Brewers to escape the worst record in the major leagues. The Phils send Jerome Williams to the mound. Gosh, Williams must be one hell of a nice guy. Williams is 52-62 in his MLB career with a 4.53 era. He’s only had a winning record 3 times since his career started in 2003. He’s had a losing record each of the past 4 years. And somehow he finds himself on a roster year after year. Maybe the wait has paid off. In his last 3 starts Williams has a 1-1 record with a 3.24 era. But his last 2 starts have been gems – short gems but gems nevertheless. On August 4th Jerome went 5 against the 1st place Dodgers and gave up 1 run on 7 hits. He came back on August 9th and took down the Padres with 7 innings of 5 hit ball allowing only 1 run. Maybe Williams has found his groove! Nevertheless, the Brewers opened at -173 favorites.

4:15 pm Miami Marlins at St. Louis Cardinals

Lackey and the Cards are Beasts at Home

Two things you can count on – the Cards are awesome at home is the first. John Lackey and his fondness for home cookin’ is the second. The Cards are a remarkable 42-17 at home. In the last 3 years St. Louis has gone 156-78 at home. Lackey is pretty much the same. This year he is 9-7 with a 2.91 era which is nothing to sneeze at. But at home Lackey is 7-3 with a 1.89 era. He’s only allowed 18 runs at home in 85 innings. And no need to look at pitcher’s past performances in this one. The Fish send Brad Hand to the Hill who has never pitched against the Cards. Lackey has a 1.35 era against the Marlins but that came on a start he made in 2005.

5:05 pm Tampa Bay Rays at Texas Rangers

Wild Card Spot Still a Possibility for Rays and Rangers

The Rays and the Rangers both have plenty of time left to grab a wild card spot. The Rays are sending their #1 guy, Chris Archer, against the Rangers today. Archer has pitched well throughout the year, much better than his 10-8 record would indicate. His 2.62 era is one of the league’s best. He’s dropped off slightly with a 3.35 average and a 1-3 record in his last 7 starts. He’s 7-2 on the road with a 2.30 era. Archer is holding LH to a .207 average and RH to a .205 mark. Lewis is just the opposite of Archer. He’s got the flashy record but the era is nothing to write home about. Lewis is 12-5 on the year with a 4.61 era. Incredibly he is 8-2 with a 4.55 era in his last 13 starts. He’s 5-1 at home with an era of 5.27. Clearly the Rangers score runs when Lewis is on the mound. Lewis is 4-2 with a 5.67 era in his last 7. In August Lewis is 1-1 with a 6.43 era. Lewis has obviously fooled a few batters, but he hasn’t fooled the linemakers here. Tampa opened at -138 as visitors.

6:10 pm Cincinnati Reds at Los Angeles Dodgers

Reds Roll Out Rookie Holmberg Against Anderson

You are probably sick of hearing about it, but I can’t remember a team doing this. The Reds have decided to go with an all-rookie rotation. I believe they are on their 3rd cycle now. On Thursday it worked just fine as rookie Keyvius Sampson got the win. On Friday, John Lamb made it through the first 4 innings giving up a single run, but was roughed up for 4 runs in the 5th. On Saturday the Reds are sending out David Holmberg . Holmberg has made 3 starts and given up just a pair of runs in each game. He is 1-1 with a 3.06 era and a 1.25 whip which looks better than the Dodgers Brett Anderson who is 6-7 with a 3.50 era and a 1.32 whip. Holmberg too on the Pirates and gave up 2 runs and 5 hits in 6 innings. He gave up 2 runs on just 2 hits against the Cardinals. That’s a tough pair of teams to draw for your first 2 starts. Against the Padres, Holmberg last 6 2/3 giving up 6 hits and 2 runs. Anderson has a 3.82 era at home and a 5.00 era in his last 3. Holmberg and the Reds are not getting any respect from the linemakers as the LAD opened as -180 favorites.

7:05 pm Washington Nationals at San Francisco Giants

Two Hot Pitchers Go At It in Pivotal Contest

The Giants and the Nationals are battling for their playoff lives. They both send out pitchers who have been besting the hitters for the second half of the season. Gio Gonzalez takes the bump for the Nationals. He’s 904 with a 3.50 era. He’s had a 1.53 era in his last 3 starts, 2 of which were on the road. Gonzalez only allowed 1 runs in 12 2/3 innings in his last 2 road efforts. They came against 2 first place teams in the LAD and the NY Mets. In his last start, Gio shut out the Dodgers for 8 innings on 7 hits. This shows real progress for Gonzalez whose road era is 4.24. The Giants go with Jack Peavy who has also been hot. Peavy is just 2-5 with a 3.76 era. But in his last 3 his era has been 1.59. He’s limited opponents to 3 runs on 13 hits in 17 innings. Gonzalez has gone against the Giants 1 time each of the past 3 years allowing only 1 earned run in 15 innings. Peavy has also faced the Nats 1 time each of the past 3 years and has given up 8 runs in 17 1/3 innings. Washington opened as a slim -109 favorite but the action went quickly to the Giants at -105. After knocking around Max Scherzer on Friday, the Giants may be ready to make their move.

Niners vs Texans

The release of Aldon Smith is the most recent incident involving the 49ers. The good news for San Fran is that Colin Kaepernick returns at quarterback and the addition of Torrey Smith is going to take a lot of pressure off of Anquan Boldin. Reggie Bush as the backup running back also provides a solid 1-2 punch with Carlos Hyde getting the other half of the touches. Blaine Gabbert pretty much has the backup QB job wrapped up and will get a lot of reps this game.

Defensively, the 49ers have a lot of guys who have to prove themselves after losing so much talent.

The Houston Texans are not sitting around licking their wounds or feeling sorry for themselves in the face of adversity. Running back Arian Foster recently underwent surgery for a groin injury and will be out approximately two months. Defensive end Jadeveon Clowney.

But the team had several joint practice sessions with the Washington Redskins during the first week of August in Richmond, Va. that went extremely well according to coaches, players, and general manager Rick Smith.

Ryan Mallett and Brian Hoyer are competing for the job at QB; Mallett worked with the starters against Washington one day after Hoyer had done the same. Both should see a decent amount of playing time in the preseason opener versus the Fan Francisco 49ers.

The Niners roster is depleted and some might say their coaching staff is, too. Although the Houston Texans will not have Jadeveon Clowney at their disposal for this one, J.J. Watt should be able to add to San Francisco’s woes (at least in the first quarter) with his pass-rushing prowess. Houston looks ready to go after their recent battles with the Washington Redskins, whereas the 49ers don’t look ready for much of anything.

Besides that, the Texans have a QB battle going on, the Niners already have their QB…who will only play 1 quarter.

(Rotation #277-278)
49ers +3 over Texans

When it comes to betting preseason you really can be prepared and have all the stars align only to get beat by the most random of events in the final quarter. Just remember that these games are exhibitions and do not mean anything.

The Texans are geared up with their starters to make a push this year, but this team has no depth at all and can’t afford injuries this year. Foster is already a big blow for this team and without him I don’t think they are a playoff team. For tonight’s game you can’t overlook this one simple fact. There is no experience on either side of the line. No player has ever started a game in the trenches on this 2nd unit. The Offensive and Defensive Lines are not NFL ready. It is hard to think of a team that lost as much talent as the 49ers did in just one off season, but this team has quality players with a new coach and have a massive chip on their shoulder. I like the 49ers backups a lot more in this game. Take San Francisco.

Tomlin/Duffey

The Indians have been knocking the cover off the baseball and should do so again with Tyler Duffey on the mound this evening. Duffey was pitched in 2 innings this season and has given up 2 homeruns and 6 total earned runs. This Twins team had a great first half, but they are slowly fading away and could dip below .500 with a loss. Take Cleveland.

Diamondbacks TT Over 4 (-115) We think the D’backs get to Foltynewicz early and after tonight. He is 4-1 in his seven home starts, but has really had trouble with control and posted a 5.58 ERA in those starts, as well as opponents posting a .364 overall OB%

Chicago Cubs (-120) Cubs are red hot and we get Arrieta on the hill tonight at a more than reasonable price. Also like the fact that he has the majors third best ERA at 1.23 since June 21st. Expect another lower scoring game and Arrieta outduels Quintana again

Indians – TT Over 4 (-120) Minny’s bullpen has been used up and spit out, now we get the Tribe up against Duffey, who was pounded in his last start vs. the Jays. Really like this play tonight

New York Mets (-115) We know that the Bucs have owned the Mets, but gonna back Niese and the home team here tonight. More of a play against Morton, who has really struggled to get off to good starts. In addition, he is one of the few Pirate arms that has struggled vs. the Mets, posting a 0-3, 5.01 ERA over his last four starts

Washington Nationals (-108) Gio Gonzalez has been really solid for these Nationals lately, posting a 5-0, 1.48 ERA over his last eight starts. He has also handled these Giants, going 2-0, 1.42 ERA in his last five starts vs. San Francisco.

Not sure how much I want to play today – that Bills game last really sucked – we’ve got the Texans teaser left, unsure what I’ll do with that. NFL, other than the Bills game, is fine.

MLB is not and our teams are just killing THEMSELVES more than getting hammered.

As of now – I like the Pirates. Morton’s upside is better than Niese’s IMO.

I don’t think Cueto should be -170 to the Angels.

MLB Game: Seattle Mariners (967) @ Boston Red Sox (968)

Time: Saturday 08/15 1:35 PM Eastern
Pick: Seattle -127 (moneyline) at Americasbookie

The Boston Red Sox took some hard news yesterday as manager John Farrell announced he had Lymphoma, and will undergo treatment, and miss the rest of the season. Torey Levullo will take over as manager for the rest of the season. They will have a difficult path to the win column today vs. Felix Hernandez, who after a couple of subpar starts, got back on track his last time out. Hernandez is 11-6 lifetime vs. Boston, and owns a 25.5% ROI against them, which is actually higher at Fenway. Wade Miley has not gone seven consecutive starts without a win, and he has been a huge disappointment in Boston. His 10 starts at Fenway have resulted in a 5.05 ERA, and his last win here came two months ago. The Mariners are 21-7 off a loss in their last 28 and Boston has shown little resolve as a home dog at 18-39 in their last 57. Take Seattle.
