Wednesday's Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers
By Covers.com
STREAKING
Jordan Zimmerman, Washington Nationals (6-6, 2.48 ERA)
This righty is on a run of eight consecutive quality starts and has allowed one or fewer earned runs in each of his last four outings. The Nats are 3-1 in Zimmy’s last four trips to the bump.
Francisco Liriano, Minnesota Twins (3-8, 4.93 ERA)
Did Liriano really have 15 strikeouts in his last start or was that just an acid flashback from 2006? All jokes aside, Liriano is pitching much better. He owns a 3.16 ERA since the start of June and the under 6-3 in his last nine appearances. The Twins are 4-1 in his last five outings and were underdogs in three of those wins.
Mat Latos, Cincinnati Reds (7-2, 4.10 ERA)
The Reds had to have been sweating after the first month of the season. Mat Latos, the stud youngster they traded four players to San Diego for, was 1-2 with a 5.97 ERA at the end of April. There have been some up and downs but Cincy backers are beginning to see the big, hard-throwing righty they’d seen in a Padre uniform.
The Reds are 8-2 in Latos’ last 10 turns in the rotation and the 24-year-old has struck out 33 batters in his last 30 innings pitched. The under is 3-0-1 in his last four starts.
SLUMPING
Bruce Chen, Kansas City Royals (7-8, 5.50 ERA)
Wasn’t this guy a hot commodity at last year’s trade deadline? This year… not so much. Chen has allowed six runs in each of his last three starts and opposing hitters have clubbed out seven dingers off him over the same three-game period.

Angels at Tigers: What Bettors Need to Know
By Covers.com
Los Angeles Angeles at Detroit Tigers (+100, 9)
Few 20-year-old major leaguers have made the kind of impact Mike Trout is having on the Los Angeles Angels. The Detroit Tigers found out firsthand Tuesday night, and will look to limit the enigmatic rookie when the teams clash Wednesday in the third contest of their four-game set at Comerica Park. Trout has been sensational so far in the series, hitting 5-for-10 with a homer, three RBIs and four runs scored.
Detroit right-hander Doug Fister is latest pitcher entrusted with the task of silencing Trout and the rest of the vaunted Angels lineup. Fister has been stronger of late after struggling for most of the previous two months. He is opposed by left-hander C.J. Wilson, who has been every bit as good as the Angels hoped he would be when they signed him away from the rival Texas Rangers in the offseason.
PITCHING MATCHUP: Angels LH C.J. Wilson (9-5, 2.43 ERA) vs. Tigers RH Doug Fister (3-6, 4.39 ERA)
Wins have been hard to come by of late - Wilson is just 0-1 with two no-decisions in his last three starts - but the 31-year-old isn't to blame. He has allowed three earned runs or fewer in all but one of his 19 starts on the campaign and is 6-2 with a 2.07 ERA in 12 road outings. The Tigers are one of the few teams to have given Wilson fits over his career; he's just 0-1 with a 5.56 ERA in 11 appearances (one start).
Fister is coming off back-to-back victories, the latter an impressive seven-inning stint in Baltimore where he limited the Orioles to a run on three hits while striking out eight. Prior to the consecutive wins, the 28-year-old had dropped three straight outings while allowing 19 runs in 14 1/3 frames. Fister is no stranger to the Angels, going 1-3 with a 3.95 ERA in six career starts. He has allowed just two home runs in 41 innings against them.
TRENDS:
* Over is 6-2 in the last eight meetings in Detroit.
* Over is 5-2 in the last seven meetings.
* Angels are 7-2 in their last nine during Game 3 of a series.
* Tigers are 8-2 in their last 10 overall.
UMP TRENDS - Rob Drake:
* Over is 8-3-1 in Drakes last 12 games behind home plate.
* Road team is 6-0 in Drakes last six games behind home plate vs. Los Angeles.
* Angels are 3-7 in their last 10 games with Drake behind home plate.
WALK-OFFS:
1. Trout has scored a run in nine consecutive games, five off the franchise record set by Jim Edmonds in 1995.
2. The Tigers' current roster is hitting just .212 against Wilson.
3. Detroit OF Austin Jackson failed to score a run Tuesday, ending his streak of crossing the plate at 13 games. It was the longest such streak by a Tigers player since Johnny Groth achieved the feat in 1951.

Philadelphia at Los Angeles
The Philadelphia Phillies won their fourth straight game on Tuesday by handing the Dodgers a 3-2 loss. Phillies now try to extend the streak behind the arm of lefty Cliff Lee (1-6, 3.92 ERA). The southpaw opened July with his first win in fourteen attempts but returned to his losing ways last time out yielding 9 hits, 3 runs in six innings as Phillies fell 6-2 to the Rockies. Lee faced Dodgers back in June tossing 7.2 innings of 6 hit, 2 run ball striking out 12 but was at the wrong end of a 2-1 decision moving his life-time mark to 2-1 with a sparkling 0.90 ERA vs LA (4-1 TSR). Dodgers mired in a 1-7 skid counter with Clayton Kershaw (7-5, 2.84 ERA) who picked up a win against Padres to opened the second half allowing a single run over six innings of work. The left-hander tagged with a no-decision in his only start vs Philadelphia this season is 0-4 life-time vs Phillies in eight attempts (2-6 TSR). Neither pitcher has lived up to their lofty standards this campaign but were sticky with Dodgers and Kershaw. Dodgers are 3-1 at home with the hurler after losing back-2-back games and a smart 10-4 at home facing a left-handed starters. The kicker, Dodgers are on a sparkling 8-0 stretch at home in these lefty vs lefty pitching matchups.
New York at Washington
The Nationals and Metropolitans resume their three-game series in Washington Wednesday night with Nats sending Jordan Zimmerman (6-6, 2.48 ERA) to the mound while Mets counter with Chris Young (2-3, 4.28). Zimmermann turning in his league-leading 16th quality start of the season last time out in a 5-1 victory over Miami has held his own in this series, allowing two earned runs or fewer in six of his eight career starts versus New York (5-3 TSR). Mets ridding a 0-5 skid will be mighty anxious handing the ball to Young. The right hander was hit hard last time out surrendering a season-high five runs on six hits over three innings posting his second consecutive loss and third in five trips to the mound (1-4 TSR). Washington coming off it's fifth win in seven meetings with New York and 9th the past eleven encounters are worth a second look.
