Friday's Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers
By Covers.com
STREAKING
Ryan Dempster, Chicago Cubs (5-3, 1.86 ERA)
You know Theo Epstein is just thinking “cha-ching” every time this veteran righty takes the bump. Dempster, who is being shopped by the Cubs, is on a 33-inning scoreless streak entering Friday’s start.
The British Columbia native sports a tidy 0.85 WHIP (walks + hits per inning) over his last five starts, and the Cubs are 5-0 over that period.
Tommy Milone, Oakland Athletics (9-6, 3.54 ERA)
We were all wondering what Billy Beane was thinking when he traded starting pitchers Gio Gonzalez and Trevor Cahill last offseason. Obviously, he liked the players he was getting back in the deals, but he almost knew he had some arms in his rotation that could fill the void, like Milone.
The 25-year-old lefty has allowed no more than two earned runs in each of his last five starts. The A’s are 5-1 in his last six appearances and Milone has delivered quality four quality starts in his last five turns in the rotation.
SLUMPING
Johan Santana, New York Mets (6-6, 3.59 ERA)
This former Cy Young winner has pitched back-to-back duds for the Mets. He got knocked around for six earned runs all in the sixth inning in his last start and he gave up seven runs in just 4 2-3 innings the start before that.
James Shields, Tampa Bay Rays (8-6, 4.44 ERA)
Makes sense that a hurler with a moniker “Big Game” would have some of his worst performances in July. Shields has allowed four or more runs in five straight appearances and he’s be tagged for double-digit hits in four consecutive outings.
Braves at Nationals: What Bettors Need to Know

Atlanta Braves at Washington Nationals (-147, 7)
The Atlanta Braves are making a spirited surge in the National League East. Unfortunately for Atlanta, it has dropped six of eight meetings with current division penthouse tenant Washington. The Braves will look to better their standing on Friday when they open a four-game set on the road against the Nationals.
Atlanta posted its eighth win in 10 outings with a 3-2 triumph over San Francisco on Thursday to move within 3 1/2 games of Washington. Freddie Freeman and David Ross belted solo homers to account for two of the Braves' three hits on the day. The offense will certainly be tested by Stephen Strasburg, who will celebrate his 24th birthday on Friday.
PITCHING MATCHUP: Braves RH Tommy Hanson (10-5, 4.02 ERA) vs. Nationals RH Stephen Strasburg (10-4, 2.66)
Hanson is heating up with the weather after winning five of his last six decisions. The 25-year-old defeated Washington to start that stretch, tossing seven solid innings and striking out six in a 3-2 win on June 3. Hanson is 3-3 with a slim 1.14 WHIP versus Washington.
Strasburg snapped a career-worst three-game losing skid after scattering six hits over as many scoreless innings in Sunday's 4-0 win over Miami. The phenom lost his lone start versus Atlanta this season, yielding three runs and walking four in three innings on a sweltering 106-degree day on June 30. General manager Mike Rizzo declared earlier in the week that it is his decision when the club shuts down Strasburg. Washington previously had set a 160-inning limit.
TRENDS:
* Under is 4-0 in the last four meetings in Washington.
* Over is 17-6-2 in the last 25 meetings.
* Braves are 2-8 in the last 10 meetings.
* Braves are 1-4 in Hansons last five starts vs. Nationals.
WALK-OFFS
1. Washington's Ian Desmond is expected to return to the starting lineup on Friday. Desmond has been nursing a strained oblique, which has limited him to pinch-hitting duty over the last five games.
2. Freeman is batting .337 since returning from a right index finger injury. He is just 1-for-6 in his career versus Strasburg.
3. Slugger Ryan Zimmerman homered during Washington's 9-5 loss to the New York Mets on Thursday. Zimmerman has struggled mightily against Hanson, going 3-for-21 in his career.
MLB: Streaks, Tips, Notes

Chicago at St. Louis
The St Louis Cardinals off a dismal 1-5 road swing losing all three in Cincinnati and 2-of-3 in Milwaukee return to Busch Stadium for a seven home stand starting with Chicago Cubs on Friday night. Cardinals looking to right the ship will pin their hopes on Kyle Lohse (9-2,2.80 ERA) in the opener. Lohse in great form has not allowed more than two earned runs in five straight starts posting a 3-0 mark. Plenty of reason to back Cardinals as they're on a 4-0 streak vs Cubbies handing the ball to Lohse and on a 10-4 stretch at home vs Cubs. However, could be a good spot for Chicago. The north-siders have turned it around lately winning six of their last seven since the break plating 4.8 runs/game and are on a 14-5 run last 19 on the diamond. Cubs also have Ryan Dempster (5-2, 1.86 ERA) toeing the rubber (If he doesn't get sent to Dodgers). The right-hander has not missed a beat since returning off DL blanking both Mets, D-Backs and has now recorded a career-high 33 scoreless innings with a smart 3.5 SWR, 0.78 WHIP spanning five starts (5-0). Keep in mind, slumping Cardinals crossing just 2.5 runs/game the past six are on a 1-8 skid vs a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15 and that Cubs are on a 4-1 streak in St Louis with Dempster.
