Tips and Trends
Texas Rangers at Boston Red Sox
Rangers: Kevin Millwood has pitched much better than his 1-2 record suggests. Millwood has only given up 7 runs in 26 innings pitched so far this season. The problem is, the Rangers have only scored 10 runs themselves in Millwood?s 4 starts. Other than run support, the only thing Millwood has had trouble with this year is walks. He?s put 12 batters on base, while striking out just 10.
Rangers are 6-2 in their last 8 Sunday games.
Rangers are 2-6 in their last 8 games overall.
Rangers are 6-15 in their last 21 road games.
Key Injuries - NONE
PROJECTED SCORE: 4
Red Sox (-170, O/U 10.5): Tim Wakefield has pitched well this year, but he can?t be happy about seeing the Rangers come to town. In 24 career starts against Texas, the knuckleballer is just 9-14 with an ERA of 5.66. When Wakefield is off, he walks a lot of batters and so far this season, he?s already put 12 guys on base in just 17 innings of work. Wakefield hasn?t gone past 6 innings in any of his starts this year, so it?s likely the Red Sox bullpen will be busy early.
Red Sox are 7-2 in the last 9 meetings.
Key Injuries - NONE
PROJECTED SCORE: 7
San Diego Padres at Arizona Diamondbacks
Padres: Randy Wolf is off to another solid start. The veteran left-hander is 1-0 with a 1.42 ERA to start this season after starting his ?07 campaign 3-1 with a 3.38 ERA. Wolf one-hit the Rockies last time out through 7 innings, while throwing 112 pitches. Colorado's Brad Hawpe said Wolf?s fastball was ?rising all game and was tough to hit.? The Pepperdine graduate is 5-2 with a 4.11 ERA during his career against the Diamondbacks and won a 9-5 decision the last time visiting Chase Field.
Padres are 2-6 in their last 8 Sunday games.
Key Injuries - NONE
PROJECTED SCORE: 3
Diamondbacks (-155, O/U 8.5): Randy Johnson got the big monkey off his achy back by making his 2008 season debut last time out against the Giants. Johnson had a hard time finding the strike zone in that appearance, but he did not allow an earned run over 5 innings of work. However, the Big Unit said after the game: ?There?s room for improvement as I felt like I was battling out there falling behind in the count.? This will be Johnson?s first home start since June of 2007, but he holds a strong 14-4 career mark against the Padres with a 2.34 ERA.
Diamondbacks are 12-2 in their last 14 games overall.
Diamondbacks are 21-8 in their last 29 home games.
Key Injuries - NONE
PROJECTED SCORE: 6
New York Mets at Philadelphia Phillies
Mets: Mike Pelfrey wants nothing more than to put his 3-8 and 5+ ERA record in 2007 behind him, and he is doing so in fine fashion so far in 2008. The right-hander is 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA and is coming off his first scoreless outing in the majors over 7 innings pitched. New York manager Willie Randolph said: ?The kid is pitching great.? However, this will be Pelfrey?s first road start of the season, and that?s where 3 of those 8 losses occurred last season.
Mets are 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.
Key Injuries - NONE
PROJECTED SCORE: 3
Phillies (-116, O/U 10.5): After coming around late last season in the starting rotation, Adam Eaton has shown he can once again be a reliable starter. Eaton doesn?t have a decision yet on the season, but he does hold a respectable 4.12 ERA. The right-hander has owned the Mets during his career, posting a perfect 5-0 mark with a 2.90 ERA after allowing just 3 runs on 5 hits at Shea on April 10th in an eventual 4-3 loss in 12 innings.
Phillies are 2-6 in Eaton's last 8 starts as a favorite.
The OVER is 7-2 in Philadelphia's last 9 Sunday games.
Key Injuries - SS Jimmy Rollins (.316; death in the family) is expected to start.
PROJECTED SCORE: 8 (Side Play of the Day)
