Re: In The Dugout for Tuesday. 8/12
MLB Betting News and Notes

Edwin Encarnacion, Toronto - Mid Aug
Encarnacion is on the 15-day disabled list with a Grade 2 strain in his right quad. He is on a rehab assignment and could rejoin the team for the series opener against the White Sox on Friday.
Under tends to follow this pitcher around
In Baltimore Orioles pitcher Wei-Yin Chen's last six outings, the Under is 5-1. Bettors banking on low totals will hope that trend continues when the 29-year-old gets the ball against the New York Yankees in Maryland Tuesday.
The Yanks counter with Shane Green. The O's are currently -134 faves with a total of eight.
Trend shows Minor mowing down NL West clubs
The Atlanta Braves have had a tough time manufacturing W's lately, but one particular trend is working in their favor for their matchup against the Los Angeles Dodgers Tuesday.
Mike Minor will be on the bump for Atlanta at home. In Minor's last 15 starts against NL West clubs, the Braves are 12-3. Dan Haren gets the nod for L.A.
The Braves are presently -121 faves with an O/U of eight.
Check out this ump trend before placing your bets
Joe West will be behind home plate for Tuesday's meeting between the Texas Rangers and the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field, which is bad news for Rangers backers.
In Texas' last seven games with West calling balls and strikes, the Rangers are a pitiful 0-7. Tampa is currently -132 home faves with the total set at nine.
Tigers happy to see this ump behind home plate
The Detroit Tigers have struggeld to the point where they are no longer in first place in the American League Central and are hoping that having umpire Alfonso Marquez behind home plate will change their fortunes.
The Tigers are 14-3 in their last 17 games when Marquez is calling balls and strikes and he will be doing just that when Detroit visits the Pittsburgh Pirates Tuesday. The Pirates are currently -120 home favorites.
Top Under umpire working the plate Tuesday
With an Over/Under record of 4-17 when he's been tasked with calling balls and strikes, you'd be hard pressed to find an umpire that has catered to Under bettors more efficiently than Kerwin Danley.
Danley is scheduled to work home plate at Turner Field as the Atlanta Braves host the Los Angeles Dodgers Tuesday evening. Oddsmakers have tabbed the matchup with a total of eight.
Only Hal Gibson III (9-17 O/U) and Brian O'Nora (5-17 O/U) have as many games resulting in Unders and only Tony Randazzo (1-11 O/U) has a higher winning percentage for Under bettors among umpires with at least 10 games behind the plate.
According to our umpire stats database, there is an average of 5.77 runs scored per game when Danley is working the plate. That's the lowest per game total of any umpire with at least 10 games calling pitches.
Orioles' SS J.J. Hardy, questionable Tuesday
Hardy has a sprained left thumb and has missed the last two games. X-rays were negative and he is questionable to return on Tuesday against the Yankees.
