Blue Jays and Indians Look for 2nd Half Push

Cleveland Indians Baseball

Indians Have Lost Six of Seven



Friday night the Toronto Blue Jays open a three-game series against the Cleveland Indians at Progressive Field. Both teams are in dissapointing seasons, and tonights starters are a big reason for that classification.

Tonights' two pitchers have struggled a lot in their recent starts. It may be hard to find anyone in MLB struggling more than Estrada and Bauer. Estrada is 4-6 with a 5.33 ERA, and Bauer is 7-8 with a 5.59 ERA.

Estrada's last win came on May 27. In his eight starts since he has gone 2-6 with a 9.50 ERA. Opponents are batting .344 off of him.

Bauer is 0-2 with an 11.13 ERA in his last two tilts. He was hammered in a 7-3 loss at Oakland on Sunday. Bauer matched the shortest outing of his career -- 2/3 inning. Bauer threw 43 pitches. He gave up four runs on three hits and three walks. He was removed after eight batters.




Oddsmakers have Bauer and the Indians listed as -140-moneyline favorites. The total is Holding Steady at 9.5.


West Coast Trip Not Kind to Indians



Cleveland went 1-5 on the trip out west. What has many fans worried is that they played all six-games against last place teams, Oakland and San Francisco. The horrible trip has let the Indians lead in the AL-Central shrink to 1/2-game over the Twins.

The Indians hitting has been spotty and their defense awful. Their vaunted bullpen has struggled as well. Four of their last six losses have been charged to the bullpen. A bounce-back start by Bauer could do a world of good for the Indians tonight.

In his last start against Toronto, on May 8, Bauer was the losing pitcher. He lost 4-2 but Cleveland would love a game that well pitched tonight. Bauer pitched six innings. He gave up four runs on six hits. The hurler had six strikeouts and three walks. In five career appearances against the Blue Jays he is 1-2 with a 6.20 ERA.

Estrada's last start came on Sunday. It was a 6-5 loss to Detroit. Estrada received a no-decision. He threw 94 pitches and made it through just 3 2/3 innings. He gave up four runs on five hits, with five strikeouts and four walks.  Estrada is 0-0 with a 3.75 ERA in two career starts vs. Cleveland.

2017 British Open

Spieth and Fowler Favorites at 2017 British Open



The 2017 Open Championship, also called the 2017 British Open, begins Thursday at Royal Birkdale Golf Club in Southport, England. This major has produced nine different winners over the past nine years. Odds for this year’s tournament promises another highly competitive contest. Jordan Spieth and Rickie Fowler are +1400 co-favorites at press time; Dustin Johnson and Jon Rahm are close behind at +1600, followed by Sergio Garcia at +1800.

Bet on golf at Bovada and get a free 50% bonus.

Because the Open is regularly held on links-style courses, golfers with European Tour experience tend to outperform their PGA Tour brethren. Spieth tied for fourth at this event during his magical 2015 season, but has struggled to recapture that glory. Fowler has likewise failed to live up to his breakthrough 2014 campaign, although he is coming off a fifth-place tie at the US Open.

Johnson remains No. 1 on the World Golf Ranking, but his game has been off since he hurt his back just before the Masters in April. With all this chaos, a proven winner like 2010 Open champ Louis Oosthuizen (+5000) may be worth a look further down the odds list; Oosthuizen also finished tied for second in 2015 after losing the playoff to Zach Johnson (+8000).

Michael Phelps vs. Great White Shark

Michael Phelps

Shark Huge Fave Over Michael Phelps



This Friday, 23-time Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps will come out of retirement – to race a great white shark. It’s all part of the latest Shark Week on the Discovery Channel. The exact details of Phelps vs. Shark: Great Gold vs. Great White (8 PM ET) have yet to be released, but the shark is a –900 favorite at press time, while Phelps is trailing at +500. The Shark opened as a -1200-moneyline favorite with Phelps at +600.

Bet on entertainment at Bovada and get a free 50% bonus.

If this turns out to be a “fair” race with no handicap applied to the shark, then the shark should prevail, fins down. Phelps, arguably the greatest swimmer of all-time, was measured at a peak velocity of six miles per hour back in 2010. A typical great white has a cruising speed of 20-25 mph. However, the shark won’t know it’s in a race. How will it respond to the starting gun?

That might not be an issue. Great white sharks “breathe” through their gills, so they always have to be in motion to get oxygen in their system. Getting the shark to move toward the finish line is another matter. And will this race be live or on tape? We’ll find out what the Discovery Channel programmers have up their sleeve this Friday.

2017 Super Millions: Two Cards or Four?



he 2017 Super Millions Poker Open is off to a running start at Ignition Casino Poker. The first events on the 105-tournament schedule have already been completed; there are three more tourneys on Thursday’s schedule, with a total of $34,000 in guaranteed prize money waiting to be won.

Play the 2017 Super Millions Poker Open at Ignition Casino Poker.

Thursday’s action kicks off at 8:03 PM ET with Event #18, the $20,000 Gtd Super Stack, where players start with 5,000 chips in their stacks. Event #19, the $10,000 Gtd at 9:03 PM, starts even deeper at 10,000 chips. No-limit Texas Hold’em is the name of the game for both tournaments. As a general rule, if you’re going to go all-in with a big stack, make sure you’re drawing to the nuts if you don’t already have the best hand.

The night wraps up with a very special tournament: the only fixed-limit Omaha Hi/Lo event on the SMPO schedule. Event #20 at 10:03 PM ET is a $4,000 Gtd Turbo with starting stacks once again set at 10,000 chips. Fixed-limit is the classic betting structure for Omaha Hi/Lo; the Turbo format will keep the action rolling as the blinds go up and more of those giant stacks get pushed into the middle.

Redblacks and Alouettes Battle Wednesday

Redblacks CFL Football

Redblacks Looking for 1st Win



The Montreal Alouettes and the Ottawa RedBlacks will both be gunning for a victory on Wednesday. The two teams will meet in the nation’s capital with plenty on the line in a rare Wednesday night duel. The Kickoff for the game is set for 7:30 PM at TD Place Stadium.

The 2017 CFL season saw the Ottawa Redblacks as favorites to win the East Division. The Montreal Alouettes’ myriad personnel changes had people thinking fof low expectations in their first year under new GM Kavis Reed.

Heading into Week 5 and the Als are tied for the division lead at a respectable 2-2. The Redblacks search for their first win of the 2017 season.

Oddsmakers have listed the Redblacks as 4-point favorites. The total is sitting at 50.

Last time out for Ottawa, they were a 23-21 loser as they battled the Edmonton Eskimos on the road. The RedBlacks covered in the match as a +3-point underdog, while 44 combined points moved the game UNDER for totals bettors. Four close games for Rick Campbell’s football team has produced one tie and three losses. The Redblacks have been close to victory at various points in all four games. The team hasn’t been able to to get over the hump for their first win of 2017.

In the middle of an 11-day, three-game stretch, the Redblacks are struggling on defense.  Ottawa’s two leading tacklers, Nick Taylor (28) and Khalil Bass (21), are on the injured list. Taylor on the six-game list, and inexperienced Serderius Bryant and Adam Berger will slide into the lineup.  Antoine Pruneau will drop down into a linebacker spot along with Bryant. Berger will take over duties at safety.

Alouettes Look to Keep Offense Rolling Despite Injuries



Montreal won its last outing, a 30-23 result against the Calgary Stampeders on July 14. The Alouettes covered in that game as a +4-point underdog, while the 53 combined points took the game OVER the total. The Alouettes made a statement with Saturday’s win over the heavily-favored Stampeders.

Jacques Chapdelaine’s squad may have to find a way to keep the offense rolling without star running back Tyrell Sutton. He has a CFL-best 295 rush yards. Didier Orméjuste of RDS reports that Sutton will not play in Week 5.  Brandon Rutley will get his first start since 2016 in the Montreal backfield. He could be poised for a breakout game. The San Jose State alum rushed for nearly 500 yards last season. He has averaged just shy of five yards per carry in his four-year CFL career.

2017 MLB All-Star Game Preview

MLB All-Star Game

Can the National League Stop the AL Winning Streak in MLB All-Star Game?



The 88th MLB All-Star Game takes place on Tuesday in Miami. The rules have changed and now the winning league won’t get home-field advantage in the World Series. Even so, the National League will still be trying to stop a four-year losing streak to the American League.

Oddsmakers have the National League as a-117-moneyline favorite. The total is now at 8.5.

Bet on baseball at Bovada and get a 50% bonus.

The American League will have 18 first-time All-Stars, led by Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees. Robinson Cano of the Seattle Mariners leads the AL with eight All-Star appearances. For the nod of starting pitcher, Cleveland manager Brad Mills will go with Chris Sale of the Boston Red Sox. Sale is 11-4 with a 2.75 ERA, leading the AL in innings and strikeouts.

Sale will have friends and family members at Marlins Park to watch since he is from Florida. He is the first American League pitcher to start two consecutive All-Star Games in 34 years.

If Boston's Craig Kimbrel is on the mound in the last inning there is a good chance the American League will continue its recent dominance. The Former Braves All-Star Closer has 1.19 ERA and is 23-for-25 on save chances.

National League Has Stacked Pitching in MLB All-Star Game



The National League has 10 first-time All-Stars while the Washington Nationals’ Ryan Zimmerman, Daniel Murphy and Bryce Harper are all starters. Yadier Molina of the St. Louis Cardinals has eight All-Star appearances to lead all NL players. Joe Maddon of the Chicago Cubs would like to start Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers, but Kershaw started on Sunday, so that’s a quick turnaround. Maddon could go with Washington’s Max Scherzer, who is 10-5 with a 2.10 ERA. Scherzer leads the NL in innings pitched, strikeouts and ERA.

Clayton Kershaw (14-2, 2.18 ERA) is unavailable since he pitched Sunday for the Dodgers. Chicago Cubs and NL manager Joe Maddon said on Monday that Scherzer would have gotten the nod anyway. Scherzer has been virtually money in the bank from the mound the past two seasons.

The Dodgers' Closer, Kenley Jansen is as good as Kimbrell this season. If he is there at the end there is a strong shot that the National League finally win. Jansen has a 0.93 ERA, 21-for-21 on save chances.

The NL has won just three times and tied once with the AL since 1997.

Nunes Out of UFC 213: Whitaker vs. Romero Becomes Main Event

UFC 213 MMA

Nunes Hospitalized with Sickness has to Pull out of UFC 213



Amanda Nunes will be unable to compete at UFC 213 against Valentina Shevchenko. UFC president Dana White confirmed the news earlier this evening. Nunes, the UFC women's bantamweight champion, Was sent to the hospital for treatment early Saturday. Reports say she was sick on and off all week.  The UFC doctor cleared Nunes to fight, but she still backed out of the Main Event.

This would be only the second time in Nunes' career where she had to withdraw from a fight. She had to pull out with a foot injury back in 2011. Nues was to fight Julie Kedzie in a Strikeforce bout on that night. The main event against Shevchenko on Saturday was a rematch of the two's first meeting a year ago. Nunes won by unanimous decision.  It wasthe only decision fight in her professional MMA career.

Robert Whittaker vs. Yoel Romero will serve as the new main event. This is a battle for the interim middleweight title. Fabricio Werdum vs. Alistair Overeem the new co-main event.

UFC 213 just got a little shakeup. Whittaker-Romero is still a worthy headliner. Overall a bit of the luster has definitely been knocked off this card. UFC 213 was originally expected to feature T.J. Dillashaw against bantmaweight champ Cody Garbrandt in the main event. This is the second major change in the last couple weeks. Donald Cerrone vs. Robbie Lawler was pushed back to UFC 214 after Cerrone was hospitalized with a blood infection.

Whitaker vs. Romero Preview for UFC 213



UFC fight fans finally get to see Yoel Romero battle for UFC gold. It is only an interim belt, but he is worthy of the shot. He faces off with red-hot Robert Whittaker in the main event. The two fighters have a combined 15-fight winning streak. This is among the best active streaks in the company. If Whittaker is able to pressure Romero and keep him from taking the fight to the ground, it will be quite an interesting bout.

Many UFC experts say that whoever wins this fight is the best middleweight in the world. We will get a chance to see them in action tonight.

The Tale of the Tape



Yoel Romero
Record: 13-1
Top Wins: Chris Weidman, Ronaldo Souza), Lyoto Machida, Tim Kennedy
Top Losses: Rafael Cavalcante in Strikeforce
Road to Victory: Romero is one of the greatest athletes to ever compete inside the Octagon. The Olympic silver medalist in wrestling moves is almost 40 years old, but his quickness and his ability to time hard hitting contact and quick takedowns don't show his age.



Romero is really smart. He’s knows his limitations, and he’s willing to give up large portions of the fight so he can recoup energy before exploding again. Doing this allows him to carry his power and explosiveness late into the fight. He outlasts his younger foes as well.



 To defeat Whittaker, Romero will need to be able counter effectively. Whittaker moves a lot. He can't be chasing him around the ring. It is tiring and can drain the gas tank quickly.  Romero is savvy enough to catch Whittaker as he comes in. If he is able to do that he can take advantage of it and win this fight.


Robert Whittaker
Record: 18-4
Top Wins: Ronaldo Souza, Derek Brunson, Uriah Hall, Rafael Natal
Top Losses: Stephen Thompson, Court McGee
Road to Victory: Whittaker is a kickboxer with a background in both boxing and karate. That history translates very well into the cage. Whitaker uses his swift feet well, he has strong kicks, and sharp and quick combinations to blister opponents. At only 26 years of age, he can maintain long periods of time attacking and being on full-tilt. The Aussie throws a lot of punches and they are consistent. He doens't take much of a break between flurries. If he sizes his opponent up he is throwing deadly blows from the opening bell.
