Wednesday's Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers
By Covers.com
STREAKING
Roy Halladay, Philadelphia Phillies (6-6, 3.80 ERA)
Halladay turned in an impressive outing Friday night, allowing just one run while striking out eight over eight innings of a 3-1 win over the Cardinals. The Doctor has picked up back-to-back wins for the first time since April and looks poised to finish strong. He toes the rubber in Miami next.
Miguel Gonzalez, Baltimore Orioles (4-2, 3.42 ERA)
Gonzalez has come a long way since going winless in the minors last year. The righty has been a pleasant surprise for the Orioles since making his first start on July 6, posting a 4-2 record. Gonzalez surrendered just one run and struck out five over eight quality innings to pick up the win over Kansas City in his last outing. The converted reliever has allowed just one earned run over his last 15 innings pitched.
SLUMPING
Mark Buehrle, Miami Marlins (9-11, 3.80 ERA)
Buehrle allowed four runs on seven hits over six innings of a 5-2 loss to the Dodgers on Friday. The southpaw has gone winless in his last five outings after previously winning four consecutive starts. He takes the mound at home against the Phillies next time out.
Edinson Volquez, San Diego Padres (7-8, 4.03 ERA)
Volquez was touched up for six runs over 3 1/3 innings against Pittsburgh last time out. The righty has a 13.50 ERA over his last three starts, giving up 15 runs in 10 innings after going 3-0 with a 1.55 ERA in his previous six appearances. He makes a tough road start in Atlanta on Wednesday.

Chicago White Sox at Toronto Blue jays
Ricky Romero gets another shot at snapping his nine game winless streak dating back to June 27th a run that has seen the hurler go 0-8 with Jays 1-8 over the span. Certainly have plenty of reason to fade Jays here. But, the stars may have lined up for the left-hander and the Blue Birds. Romero off back-2-back quality starts giving up 4 runs over 14.0 innings of work heads to the mound with a smart 4-1 team start record against Pale Hose. Helping the cause, Romero will be opposed by Gavin Floyd (8-9, 4.43 ERA). The right-hander winless in three starts does not performed well on the road posting a 1-6 mark on the campaign with White Sox 2-6 over the eight tries. The kicker, White Sox are on a 1-5 skid vs Toronto with Floyd touching toe to rubber. Look for White Sox to fall to 4-16 last twenty trips north of the border.

Rangers at Yankees: What Bettors Need to Know
By Covers.com
Texas Rangers at New York Yankees (-119, 10)
Beating the Yankees in New York continues to be an arduous task for the Texas Rangers. The Rangers attempt to avoid their eighth straight loss at Yankee Stadium when the teams meet in Wednesday’s third contest of a four-game set. Nick Swisher has two homers and seven RBIs as New York posted victories in the first two games. The Yankees have a 1.5-game lead over Texas for the top record in the American League.
New York has won seven of eight games and its .595 winning percentage in third best in the majors behind the Washington Nationals and Cincinnati Reds. The potent Texas offense leads the majors with 580 runs scored but has struck just twice in the series and was blanked on two hits by Hiroki Kuroda on Tuesday. Swisher hit a tiebreaking two-run homer and Mark Teixeira also went deep. Teixeira has homered in three of the last six games and is 6-for-15 against Rangers starter Scott Feldman. Texas maintained a six-game lead in the American League West as the Oakland Athletics also lost. New York is six games ahead of the Tampa Bay Rays in the AL East.
