Sunday's Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers
By Covers.com
Streaking
Chris Capuano, Los Angeles Dodgers (6-1, 2.25 ERA)
Batters are hitting .201 against the 33-year-old lefty, who has lasted at least six innings in seven straight starts. This is the most wins and lowest ERA Capuano has ever had through his first nine starts in any season. In 14 career appearances against Houston, he’s 6-4 with a 3.34 ERA.
P.J. Walters, Minnesota Twins (2-1, 2.95 ERA)
The 27-year-old right-hander, who had only made four career starts before this season, has shined in three starts for the Twins. Last time out he tossed a complete game against the White Sox, allowing two runs on five hits and fanning eight. He has a WHIP of 0.94 and is holding batters to a .200 average. However, Walters has served up five homers.
Slumping
Jamie Moyer, Colorado Rockies (2-4, 4.99 ERA)
With an obscene WHIP of 1.75, Moyer might not make it until age 50. The 49-year-old, soft-tossing lefty has given up at least five earned runs in three of his last four starts. The league is hitting .325 against him. In nine career appearances vs. the Reds, Moyer is 2-4 with a 6.00 ERA.
Clay Buchholz, Boston Red Sox (4-2, 7.84 ERA)
Batters are hitting .330 against the 27-year-old right-hander, who was tagged for five earned runs in 5 1/3 innings last time out against the Orioles. He has given up 11 gopher balls this season, and has just as many strikeouts, 27, as walks.
Sunday Night Baseball: Nationals at Braves

Washington Nationals at Atlanta Braves (-140, 6.5)
Sunday Night Baseball features the Nationals and the Braves, with host Atlanta trying to stay close to Washington atop the National League East. The Nats won 8-4 Saturday after taking the series opener 7-4, marking the first time Washington has scored seven or more runs in consecutive games this year.
ESPN LOVE
In the past, the Nationals were never a team considered for ESPN's programming, but this up-and-coming team is now making their second Sunday night appearance on the network this month.
They lost the earlier showing against the Phillies, 9-3 as +100 home underdogs, on May 6. The big news from that game was when Cole Hamels beaned Bryce Harper in the first inning. Harper would later steal home, becoming only the second player in Nationals' franchise history to do so.
LIFE'S A BEACHY
Atlanta's starter Brandon Beachy has been surprisingly tough for the Braves. He's 5-2 with a 1.77 ERA, giving up just 40 hits in 61 innings. The righty has won two of his last three starts, sporting a 2.05 ERA in that span.
Beachy faced the Nationals twice last season in Washington, posting nearly identical stat lines. He went 11 total innings giving up eight runs and 12 hits, striking out 13 while walking only five. This will be only his fourth home start of the season.
GIO'S GOOD
Nationals starter Gio Gonzalez is no slouch either. He's 6-1 with a 1.98 ERA, allowing just 32 hits in 54.2 innings. Outside of a disastrous first start against the Cubs at Wrigley Field, the former Oakland starter has been great on the road. He allowed just four earned runs in four starts against San Diego, L.A., Cincinnati, and Philadelphia. It appears Gonzalez has begun to conquer his control issues, walking four or more batters in a game just twice this season.
HITTERS TO WATCH
Danny Espinosa 3-for-7 vs. Beachy
Ryan Zimmerman 4-for-6 vs. Beachy
Jack Wilson 2-for-12 vs. Gonzalez (Only Atlanta hitter who has faced him)
TRENDS
*Washington is 1-5 in their last six Sunday games
*Washington is 4-0 in Gonzalez's last four starts
*Atlanta is 4-0 in their last four Sunday games
*The over is 3-0-1 in Beachy's last four Sunday starts

Toronto Blue Jays vs Texas Rangers
Rangers will be gunning for the sweep when they complete a three-game set against Blue Jays at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. Rangers chasing Toronto's ace Brandon Morrow after two-thirds of an inning in Friday's 14-3 win followed that stomping of Jays with an 8-7 thirteen inning victory Saturday. Yu Darvish (6-2, 3.05 ERA) gets the call for Rangers in the finale. Off a loss to the Mariners allowing five runs in four innings the hurler has now surrendered three or more runs in three of his last four trips to the mound. Blue Jays counter with Kyle Drabek (4-4, 3.77 ERA). He struggled with control during his last start but managed to pitch out of trouble picking up second consecutive victory. Drabek has allowed two runs or less in seven of nine starts. Darvish 4-0 at home along with beating Jays on April 30 allowing one run over 7 innings and Drabek pitching a lot better at home (3-1, 1.75 ERA) than on the road (1-3, 4.72 ERA) easy to see why Rangers are favorite. But, before betting the mortgage money on Texas keep in mind these Jays have a way of coming up big as underdogs vs Texas. Jays have cashed 9-of-15 tickets as dogs in the series. Jays are also a sparkling 8-3 in end-of-series games vs Rangers. One final tid-bit, Jays are on a 9-2 stretch off back-2-back losses handing the ball to Drabek including 4-0 this season.
