Tuesday's Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers
By Covers.com
Streaking
A.J. Burnett, Pittsburgh Pirates (4-2, 3.60 ERA)
Two of MLB’s hottest starters share the mound Tuesday in Cincinnati. Burnett hasn’t allowed a run in his last 12 1/3 innings spanning two starts and has won three in a row overall. After the Cardinals pounded him for 12 earned runs in 2 2/3 innings in early May, he hasn’t allowed more than two runs in an outing in five starts.
Homer Bailey, Cincinnati Reds (4-3, 3.73 ERA)
Bailey is coming off a complete-game 8-1 victory over Pittsburgh that saw him allow one run on four hits. The Reds have won each of his last four trips to the bump, while Bailey has walked only five batters during that stretch. Bailey threw 77 strikes on 103 pitches against the Pirates and didn’t allow a hit over the last four innings.
Slumping
Ryan Dempster, Chicago Cubs (0-3, 2.90 ERA)
Dempster has pitched well this season for the most part but still hasn’t won a start since Aug. 16, 2011. He wasn’t at his best last week against the Chicago White Sox, giving up three two-run homers and walking four before hitting the showers after only 4 1/3 innings. Dempster supporters are down 4.89 units this season.
Tim Lincecum, San Francisco Giants (2.6, 5.82 ERA)
The Giants are riding a six-game losing streak with Lincecum on the mound. He limited Arizona to one earned run on four hits in his last turn, but still walked five batters and allowed a home run. The good news is that he pitched seven innings for just the second time in six starts.

Los Angeles Dodgers at Philadelphia Phillies
When Philadelphia sends Cliff Lee (0-2, 3.00 ERA) to the mound against Dodgers Chad Billingsley (2-4, 4.09 ERA) in the second of this three game set the Phillies left-hander will be looking for his first 'W' of the season. On the other bump, Billingsley will be gunning for his first win in 9 attempts. With Lee pitching a lot better than his 0-2 record would suggest surrendering 3 or less runs in six of his eight starts and Billingsley hammered for 4 or more runs in five of his last nine Phillies are the play. Keep in mind, Lee is 2-0 with a sparkling 0.40 ERA vs Dodgers in three starts with Philadelphia (3-0 TSR) and the hurler is ridding a perfect 8-0 TSR in the month of June.
Toronto Blue Jays at Chicago White Sox
The Chicago White Sox predicted by many to be basement dwellers in the A.L. Central are the hottest team in baseball. Pale Hose have won 9-of-10 and have won 14-of-16 plating a whopping 7.0 runs/game to sit 2.5 games up in the division. Next up for red-hot South Siders, struggling Toronto Blue Jays who've slipped into the A.L. East basement thanks to a 4-7 skid crossing just 4.9 runs/game while giving up 6.5 per contest. White Sox ridding a 7-1 stretch at U.S Cellular Field kick things off with Phil Humber (2-2, 5.37 ERA). The righty 0-1 at home with a 6.26 ERA heads to the hill winless vs Toronto in two career starts (1-1 TSR). Jays currently on an 0-5 road slide look to Ricky Romero (6-1, 4.04 ERA). The lefty a lot better in Toronto (5-0) than on the road (1-1) brings to the mound a 2-0 life-time mark vs Chicago over three starts (3-0 TSR). Still, Chicago has an edge in starters as Humber has allowed two runs or fewer in three of his last four starts with White Sox posting a 3-1 mark. Romero shaky at best has allowed four runs in each of his last two starts and three of the past four on the mound (2-2 TSR). Consider White Sox as your MLB Sports Pick.
