Saturday's Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers
By Covers.com
Streaking
Gio Gonzalez , Washington Nationals (12-3, 2.92 ERA)
Gonzalez has won his last four starts and the Nats have won 14 of his 17 trips to the mound this season overall. He’s 7-1 on the road, where he’ll be on Saturday against Miami. The lefty is the third biggest money winner for bettors this season behind only R.A. Dickey and A.J. Burnett.
Mike Leake, Cincinnati Reds (3-6, 4.01 ERA)
After starting the year 0-5 in his first six starts, Leake has only taken a loss in one of his past 10 outings. Unfortunately, his record is only 3-1 during that span. His ERA is 1.88 over his past three starts with a WHIP of 0.88.
Slumping
Aaron Laffey, Toronto Blue Jays (0-1, 2.67 ERA)
The lefty Laffey hasn’t had much luck lately with the Jays. Due to multiple injuries in the starting rotation, Laffey has been moved to an opening role and has allowed just five earned runs in 18 innings in three starts. Unfortunately, he’s not getting much run support and the Jays lost all three games. The 27 year old only tosses in the mid-80s but he can pick his spots and might provide some value if Toronto can get him some scoring help.
Tim Lincecum, San Francisco Giants (3-10, 6.42 ERA)
Lincecum has pretty much been in a slump all season. But Saturday’s start is different. The Giants are putting a leash on him and have said if he doesn’t have a decent game Saturday, they’ll likely bench him for his next scheduled start. Tough times for Timmy Tim Super Freak.
Saturday FOX Tips

The Saturday FOX baseball card showcases three crucial games for potential playoff clubs. None of the six teams are leading their division currently, but all six are threats to qualify for the postseason. We'll begin in the Queen City with a division showdown with two rivals looking to make up ground on the surprising Pirates.
Cardinals at Reds
We're not going to fall for this trick again with St. Louis by counting them out at this point of the season. Last season, the Redbirds overcame a double-digit game deficit to capture the Wild Card berth en route to a World Series title. This season, the Cards sit 2½ games behind Pittsburgh in the NL Central, while trying to get its injury problems in order with Lance Berkman likely returning to the lineup on Saturday.
The Reds finished off a 6-5 road swing through the state of California prior to the All-Star break, including three consecutive victories at previously-hot San Diego. Cincinnati sends out Mike Leake (3-6, 4.01 ERA), who has quietly turned in four straight quality starts, even though the Reds are 1-3 in this stretch. The offense hasn't helped out the former Arizona State standout over the last tree weeks, compiling six runs in the three defeats, while two of the defeats came as a favorite of -140 or higher.
The Cardinals counter with Kyle Lohse (9-2, 2.79), as the right-hander owns the second most victories on the staff. Lohse has compiled six straight quality starts, while tossing at least seven innings in each of those outings (5-2). St. Louis is 5-2 in Lohse's seven starts during the day, as the Redbirds are 5-1 to the 'under' in his previous six starts overall. Cincinnati is riding an impressive an 'under' stretch by cashing in 17 of the previous 22 games overall.
Mets at Braves
Atlanta concluded the first half with victories in five of its final six contests, including a three-game sweep at Philadelphia. The Mets alternated wins and losses in each of his last eight games prior to the break, while going 3-3 against a pair of last-place teams in the Phillies and Cubs. Both teams are chasing the Nationals in the NL East, but the Braves have more at stake following last season's meltdown.
Atlanta stayed on the heels of Philadelphia for the final two months of 2011, but was ready to settle on the NL Wild Card berth. After the monumental meltdown that saw the Cardinals pass the Braves, obviously this is a redemption season for Fredi Gonzalez's club. The Braves send out their most consistent pitcher to the mound in Tommy Hanson (10-5, 3.71 ERA), who is 5-1 in his previous seven starts. Hanson has taken care of his business at Turner Field with a 3-1 record the last four home outings, although the right-hander dropped a 4-1 decision as a -200 favorite against the Cubs his most recent home trip to the mound.
The Braves are 0-2 in Hanson's two starts against the Mets this season, including a home defeat in mid-April as a -170 'chalk.' New York counters with the most impressive pitching story of 2012, as All-Star R.A. Dickey (12-1, 2.40 ERA) returns to the scene of his only loss this season. The knuckleballer allowed a season-high eight runs on April 18 at Turner Field, a 14-6 drubbing at the hands of the Braves. Since that defeat, Dickey has compiled a 10-0 record in 14 trips to the hill, including five outings in which he didn't allow a run. After turning into an 'under' machine for the first two-plus months, the Mets are 4-1 to the 'over' in his last five starts.
Tigers at Orioles
There were certain expectations for both these American League clubs, but both didn't go according to plan in the first half. Detroit tinkered around the .500 mark for a majority of the opening three months before running off five straight wins, while Baltimore started off the campaign on fire. The Orioles are expectedly going backwards in the loaded AL East, capped off by losing three of four at Los Angeles to close the first half.
Buck Showalter's team is in the midst of a 6-13 slump after taking two of three at Atlanta in mid-June. The Orioles look to get on track with southpaw Wei-Yin Chen (7-5, 3.93 ERA) taking the ball, as the 26-year old has lost each of his previous two home starts against the Nationals and Indians. A majority of Chen's success has come in the underdog role, as Baltimore is 8-4 when the left-hander starts at plus-money.
The Tigers search for consistency with Max Scherzer (8-5, 4.72 ERA) toeing the rubber. Scherzer has turned in four straight quality outings, while each of Detroit's last five wins with the righty starting have been decided by three or more runs. The Tigers are 5-0 to the 'under' in Scherzer's previous five starts away overall, including three consecutive away from Comerica Park.

Philadelphia @ Colorado
Another starter that disappointed in the first half is Vance Worley, who after finishing his breakout 2011 season at 11-3 with a 3.01 ERA, is already 4-5 with a 3.54 ERA in 2012. Worley has all of the tools to become one of the elite NL pitchers, but he is going to need to do a better job with his command and keeping focused on throwing one pitch at a time. Fortunately for Worley there should be some room for error in his first sports betting start of the second half opposite Jeremy Guthrie, who is 3-8 with a 6.05 ERA with Colorado this season. Guthrie put together a couple of solid starts before the break, allowing just two runs over six innings in his final two games, but the Rockies have lost eight of the last nine games he has appeared in and he could be due for a letdown.
New York @ Atlanta
The Atlanta Braves opened the second half defeating visiting Mets 7-5 marking a fifth straight victory and now look to make it six in-a-row when they play the second of this three game set at Turner Field. Braves have Tommy Hanson (10-5, 3.71 ERA) toeing the rubber. The right-hander closed the first half earning a victory at Philadelphia tossing seven solid innings of 6 hit 3 run ball and reached double-digit wins for the fourth straight season. Hanson who has had better success on the road (7-2) than at home (3-3) has lost both his starts vs Mets this season and heads to the hill on a 0-4 skid vs Metropolitans. On the other side, Dickey (12-1, 2.40 ERA) takes the mound for Mets. Dickey in line for his second loss of the campaign last outing allowing 5 earned runs on a season high 11 hits was bailed out as Mets staged a ninth-inning 6-5 comeback against Philadelphia. Dickey not his dominant self, Mets up/down so far in July (3-5) including smacked a combined 15-8 in their two road losses Braves are worth a second look. Keep in mind, Braves are a smart 5-1 vs Mets at Turner Field after winning game one of a series. Dickey is just 2-5 vs Braves over nine starts (3-6 TSR) and Dickey's teams are on a 3-9 skid in his last 12 July starts.
