Phillies vs. Diamondbacks Preview and Predictions
by Gracenote on 08/07/2018
David Peralta's dramatic game-winning homer in the series opener elevated the Arizona Diamondbacks into first place in the National League West and they look to remain there when they host the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday for the middle contest of their three-game set. Peralta's second blast of Monday's game barely cleared the left-center field wall with one out in the bottom of the 14th inning as the Diamondbacks used the 3-2 victory to take a one-half game lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Peralta went 4-for-7 on Monday - his second four-hit performance in five games - and is a scorching 12-for-24 with three homers and three doubles over his last five contests. His game-winning shot was the first walk-off homer of his career and gave Arizona its 10th win in 15 games. The Phillies squandered a 2-0 lead in the ninth inning of the series opener as they saw their five-game winning streak come to an end. Maikel Franco and Odubel Herrera each recorded two hits, but Philadelphia mustered just seven overall and went 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position.
TV: 9:40 p.m. ET, NBCS Philadelphia, FS Arizona
PITCHING MATCHUP: Phillies RH Nick Pivetta (6-9, 4.75 ERA) vs. Diamondbacks RH Zack Greinke (12-6, 2.96)
Pivetta has gone 0-2 over his last three starts despite striking out 28 batters in 17 1/3 innings during the stretch. The 25-year-old has struggled on the road, posting a 2-4 record and 5.63 ERA in 10 such outings. Pivetta lost his lone career start against Arizona on June 26, 2017, when he gave up six runs on seven hits and five walks in 2 2/3 innings.
Greinke won seven straight decisions before giving up two runs and four hits over six innings in a loss to San Francisco in his last turn. The 34-year-old has registered a stellar 1.68 ERA over his last nine starts and has allowed fewer than three runs in each of his last eight turns. Greinke is 8-2 with a 2.90 ERA in 12 career starts against the Phillies, but one of the setbacks occurred on April 25 as he gave up five runs and nine hits over six innings.
WALK-OFFS
1. The Diamondbacks have won 15 of their last 21 meetings with the Phillies.
2. Philadelphia LF Rhys Hoskins was hitless in four at-bats in the opener and is 0-for-10 over his last three games.
3. Arizona CF A.J. Pollock (tired legs) was limited to pinch-hitting duties in the opener but is expected back in the starting lineup on Tuesday.
PREDICTION: Diamondbacks 5, Phillies 2

Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Oakland Athletics Preview and Predictions 08-07-2018 in MLB
The Oakland Athletics are the hottest team in baseball as they make a surprising run at the Houston Astros atop the American League West. The Athletics will try to stay perfect on the homestand and stretch their winning streak to seven straight when they host the Los Angeles Dodgers in the opener of a two-game interleague series on Tuesday.
Oakland won the first six games of the homestand over the Toronto Blue Jays and Detroit Tigers by a combined score of 33-7 and enters the week four games behind the Astros in the AL West. "It's tough to sweep a team seven games over the season," Athletics manager Bob Melvin told reporters. "We've done that twice with Toronto and Detroit. We're on a nice roll right now. The more games you win, the more confidence you have. It seems to be playing out right now." Oakland is 11-7 in interleague play this season and split a two-game series in April against the Dodgers, who enter the week tied for first in the NL West after avoiding a three-game sweep and doing the Athletics a favor with a 3-2 victory over the Astros on Sunday. Los Angeles will send veteran lefty Rich Hill to the mound on Tuesday while Oakland turns to ace Sean Manaea.
TV: 10:05 p.m. ET, NBCS California (Oakland), SportsNet Los Angeles
PITCHING MATCHUP: Dodgers LH Rich Hill (4-4, 3.63 ERA) vs. Athletics LH Sean Manaea (10-7, 3.38)
Hill is thriving since the All-Star break with a total of two earned runs allowed in 19 innings spread over three starts. The 38-year-old added 21 strikeouts in that span and won the first two starts before settling for a no-decision against Milwaukee on Wednesday. Hill, who posted a 2.25 ERA in 14 starts for Oakland in 2016 before being traded to Los Angeles, is 2-1 with a 3.09 ERA in seven road starts this season.
Manaea allowed three or fewer earned runs in each of his last 11 starts and earned a win over Toronto on Wednesday by yielding one run and five hits across six innings. The 26-year-old is holding opponents to a .220 batting average and is fifth in the AL with a 1.01 WHIP. Manaea surrendered solo home runs to Chris Taylor and Corey Seager in five innings at Los Angeles on April 10 and was saddled with a loss.
WALK-OFFS
1. The Athletics acquired RHP Shawn Kelley from the Washington Nationals on Sunday.
2. Dodgers OF Yasiel Puig (right oblique) was held out of the lineup on Sunday and is day-to-day.
3. Oakland OF Khris Davis homered in four of the last seven games to bring his season total to 31.
PREDICTION: Athletics 3, Dodgers 1

Tigers vs. Angels Preview and Predictions
by Gracenote on 08/07/2018
After dropping six of their previous seven contests, the Los Angeles Angels began their six-game homestand with a convincing victory over the Detroit Tigers. Los Angeles attempts to post consecutive wins for the first time since a four-game run from July 25-28 when it hosts Detroit on Tuesday for the middle contest of their three-game set.
Andrelton Simmons, who has hit safely in seven of his last eight contests, and Eric Young Jr. both recorded a homer and two RBIs on Monday as the Angels posted a 6-2 triumph. Los Angeles likely will be without Mike Trout for the entire series as the superstar received a cortisone shot in his injured wrist on Monday and remains day-to-day, although manager Mike Scioscia is hopeful he will return Friday versus Oakland. The Tigers took an early lead in the series opener but finished with only three hits as they suffered their fourth consecutive loss. Nicholas Castellanos ended a 20-game drought with his 16th homer of the season while Jose Iglesias delivered an RBI single as he improved to 6-for-19 with four RBIs this month.
TV: 10:07 p.m. ET, FS Detroit, FS West (Los Angeles)
PITCHING MATCHUP: Tigers RH Jacob Turner (0-0, 15.88 ERA) vs. Angels LH Andrew Heaney (6-7, 3.75)
Turner is expected to be summoned from Triple-A Toledo to start in place of Mike Fiers, who was traded to Oakland on Monday for future considerations. The 27-year-old Turner was drafted ninth overall by Detroit in 2009 but went 1-2 with an 8.28 ERA in six turns over two seasons before being sent to Miami in a five-player trade in July 2012. Turner, who made four relief appearances during his second stint with the Marlins earlier this year, is 0-3 with a 13.50 ERA in three career starts against the Angels.
Heaney is coming off a loss at Tampa Bay on Thursday in which he yielded four runs and six hits over six innings. The 27-year-old native of Oklahoma had a solid month of July, going 2-1 with a 2.88 ERA while allowing three runs or fewer in each of his five turns and registering 10 strikeouts on two occasions. Heaney made his only career start versus the Tigers on May 31 in Detroit, where he suffered the loss after surrendering five runs and eight hits over five innings.
WALK-OFFS
1. Angels RHP Nick Tropeano, who already has made two trips to the disabled list this season with shoulder issues, exited Monday's game after five innings due to tightness.
2. Detroit has scored a total of three runs during its four-game slide.
3. Los Angeles recalled 1B Jose Fernandez from Triple-A Salt Lake and optioned RHP Deck McGuire to the Bees.
PREDICTION: Angels 9, Tigers 4
