Monday's Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers
By Covers.com
STREAKING
Jason Vargas, Seattle Mariners (12-7, 3.71 ERA)
Vargas allowed two runs on five hits and struck out four over seven innings as he notched his 12th win in Seattle's 7-2 victory over Toronto on Tuesday. His name was prominent in trade deadline rumors, but that hasn’t stopped the lefty from enjoying a career-best season thus far. Vargas has won five consecutive starts and hasn’t allowed three or more runs in each of his last seven outings. He takes the hill in Baltimore next time out.
Jered Weaver, Los Angeles Angels (14-1, 2.29 ERA)
Weaver gave up two runs over 6 1/3 innings to earn the win Tuesday at Texas. The righty has now won eight straight starts, including six victories in July. Weaver has to be considered the frontrunner for the AL Cy Young Award as this point. The Angels’ ace is on pace for career lows in ERA (2.26) and WHIP (0.95). Weaver hurls against the A’s in his next outing.
SLUMPING
Chris Capuano, Los Angeles Dodgers (10-7, 3.33 ERA)
Capuano struggled Tuesday, yielding five runs on six hits in six innings, as the Dodgers were crushed by the Diamondbacks. Capuano served up two long balls, which accounted for all five of his earned runs. He’s 1-4 in his past five starts with a 5.90 ERA in 29 frames. He takes the mound against the lowly Rockies in his next start.
Yu Darvish, Texas Rangers (11-7, 4.38 ERA)
Darvish surrendered seven earned runs on four hits over five innings during Wednesday's 11-10 win over the Angels. The Japanese import has been touched up for 14 earned runs over his last three starts. He takes the mound against Boston for the first time this season on Monday.
MLB: Streaks, Tips, Notes

Washington at Houston
Washington Nationals carrying a three-game division lead in the N.L. East will begin a road series in Houston Monday night as they take on the Astros. The Nationals, showing no sign of faltering as they look to secure the franchise's first playoff berth since relocating from Montreal open the four-game set with right-hander Edwin Jackson (6-7, 3.57 ERA). Although, Jackson was tagged with a hard-luck loss in his most recent trip to the mound against the Braves, allowing just one run on five hits over seven innings the Nationals will still be a little anxious when he heads to the mound. Jackson was at the wrong end of an 11-4 decision last time Washington faced Astros getting smacked for 5 runs over 5 innings of work. Anxious or not Nationals should prevail as Astros projected starter is left-hander Dallas Keuchel (1-4, 5.77 ERA). The hurler struggling in July (0-4) has surrendered a whopping 6 yard-ball, 23 runs over 19 innings of work.
Los Angeles at Oakland
The Los Angeles Angels and Oakland Athletics in a heated battle for the the A.L. Wild-Card open a three game set at O.co Coliseum with each handing the ball to solid hurlers. Halos go with Jered Weaver (14-1, 2.29 ERA) who's won eight straight and nine of his last eleven starts allowing 2 runs or less in nine of those trips to the mound. Surprising A's counter with Jarrod Parker (7-5, 3.44) who's been tagged for 4 runs or more in three of his last five starts. These two division rivals last collided on May 23rd with the same matchup in a contest Halos won 3-1 in eleven innings as Weaver allowed one run on three hits in eight innings while Parker allowed one run on five hits in seven innings. Halos on a 6-1 streak vs A's with Weaver touching toe to rubber including 3-0 in A's back yard, on a 10-1 stretch handing the ball to the hurler off a loss the previous day opened -$1.50 favorites.
