Sunday's Hot and Cold Pitchers
By: The Linemakers
Sportingnews.com
Hot
Yovani Gallardo (-140), Brewers vs. Nationals: Every single game matters for the Brewers at this juncture. They made up ground in the wild-card race with a six game winning streak entering Saturday, but a loss dropped them to 2 ½ games out with 11 to play. They’re in good hands today as Gallardo last lost a game on July 26, to the Nationals. Since then, the Brewers have won 10 straight games behind him with Gallardo picking up the win in eight of them.
Ian Kennedy (-145), Diamondbacks vs. Rockies: Arizona has won his past four starts. In three of the starts, Kennedy got the win and allowed only one run in 21 2/3 innings. The D-backs have defeated the Rockies in five straight behind Kennedy. He’s 2-0 against them in 2012.
Cliff Lee (-160), Phillies vs. Braves: He is in his best form of the season and looks to be the dominant pitcher we remember from his best days. The Phillies have won his past five starts with Lee getting the win in four of them. He has allowed only four runs (three earned) over the five-game stretch.
Chris Tillman (-130), Orioles at Red Sox: The Orioles have won his past four starts and five in a row on the road. In seven road starts this season, Tillmam is 5-1 with a 2.97 ERA.
Cold
Aaron Harang (+120), Dodgers at Reds: He has allowed three runs or fewer in his past eight starts, but the Dodgers have lost six of them. In his past five starts, the UNDER has gone 4-0-1. In his only start against the Reds this season, Harang got the 4-1 win. (The Dodgers might start Clayton Kershaw instead today, who has missed his last two starts in the rotation because of a sore hip.)
A.J. Burnett (-135), Pirates at Astros: It’s hard not to hear Taps in the background whenever discussing the Pirates or Burnett as both slides on the season have coincided with each other. The Bucs have lost his past six starts. In his last five, he has given up three earned runs or fewer, but the bats haven’t helped him.
Justin Germano (+170), Cubs vs. Cardinals: He has pitched much better over his past two outings, but the Cubs have still lost his last six starts.
