Tips and Trends
Chicago Cubs at Florida Marlins [7:10 PM ET]
Cubs (-140, O/U 8): Carlos Zambrano lost his last time out against the Cardinals thanks in large part to four home runs allowed but that could actually be a good thing for the Cubs heading into tonight's game. In his four previous losses, Big Z has rebounded with a win and a strong performance three times. Zambrano is 6-4 on the road this season with a solid 3.38 ERA. Zambrano faced the Marlins on July 24, getting the win after allowing just two runs in seven innings.
The Cubs are 8-0 in their last 8 road games.
The OVER is 9-0 in Chicago's last 9 road games.
Key Injuries - 3B Aramis Ramirez (.285; hip) is doubtful.
PROJECTED SCORE: 4
Marlins: When Josh Johnson is on the mound, the Marlins win. It's that simple. Florida is a perfect 6-0 when Johnson takes the rubber this season. Johnson received a no-decision in each of his first three outings but has won his last three starts, allowing just six runs in 19.2 innings of work. Despite his strong performances, the OVER is 3-0 in Johnson's last three starts.
Marlins are 12-2 in the last 14 meetings.
Marlins are 1-4 in their last 5 home games.
Key Injuries - NONE
PROJECTED SCORE: 6 (Side Play of the Day)
Tampa Bay Rays at Texas Rangers [8:05 PM ET]
Rays (-110, O/U 10.5): Matt Garza was hammered in his last two starts against hitting lightweights Cleveland and Seattle, allowing 17 hits and nine runs in just 10.2 innings. Garza has been up and down all year but he's mostly been down on the road, going 3-5 with a lofty 5.37 ERA. Following a complete game, one-hitter at Florida, Garza has allowed 16 runs in his last four starts away from home.
Rays are 12-3 in their last 15 games overall.

OF Carl Crawford (.273; hand) is OUT for the season.
PROJECTED SCORE: 5 (UNDER - Total Play of the Day)
Rangers: Kevin Millwood is making his first start since coming off the DL with a strained groin. The Rangers are hoping Millwood will be much more effective than he was before being sidelined with the injury. In his last 18.1 innings pitched, Millwood has allowed 32 hits and 16 runs. He has been much better at home than on the road, however. In eight home starts this season, Millwood is 4-1 with a 5.31 ERA. The OVER is 3-1 in Millwood's last four starts.
Rangers are 1-7 in their last 8 games overall.
The OVER is 11-4-2 in Millwood's last 17 starts overall.

Chicago White Sox at Oakland Athletics [WGN | 10:05 PM ET]
White Sox (-115, O/U 8.5): Gavin Floyd hasn't lost a game since July 19, although his last four starts are nothing to brag about. Over that span, Floyd has allowed 15 runs in 23 innings of work. Luckily for the White Sox, their offense has provided Floyd with plenty of run support, helping the Pale Hose to emerge victorious in all four of those contests. Not surprisingly, each of those games went OVER the total as well. Overall, the OVER is 8-2 in Floyd's last 10 starts.
White Sox are 6-27 in the last 33 meetings at Oakland.

The UNDER has been money with Braden on the mound, going 3-0-1 in his four starts.
A's are 4-23 in their last 27 games overall.
The UNDER is 26-10-2 in the last 38 meetings.
