Tips and Trends

Chicago Cubs at Florida Marlins [ WGN | 1:10 PM ET]

Cubs (-140, O/U 8.5): Ryan Dempster's incredible season for the Cubs shows no signs of slowing down. In his last five starts, Dempster has allowed a total of six runs. Dempster is just 2-3 on the road, although his ERA is a strong 3.17 ERA in 10 starts. To show how consistent Dempster has been all year, he's given up three runs or less in 20 of his 25 starts this season. Dempster faced the Marlins on July 25 but took a no-decision after allowing two hits and one run over six innings.

The Cubs are 9-1 in their last 8 road games.
The OVER is 10-1 in Chicago's last 11 road games.

Key Injuries - 3B Aramis Ramirez (.285; hip) is questionable.

PROJECTED SCORE: 3 (UNDER - Total Play of the Day)

Marlins: Chris Volstad has won two straight starts, allowing just three runs over 11 innings in those games. However, one area of concern is the seven walks issued despite winning both times. Volstad hasn't benefited from being at home where he's just 1-2 with a 5.63 ERA. Volstad pitched well in his lone career start against the Cubs earlier this season, giving up two runs in six innings of work. In his six starts this year, the UNDER is a perfect 6-0.

Marlins are 13-3 in the last 16 meetings.
Marlins are 2-5 in their last 5 home games.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 2

Milwaukee Brewers at Los Angeles Dodgers [TBS | 4:10 PM ET]

Brewers: Jeff Suppan is on a nice three-game winning streak. In road victories over Atlanta, Cincinnati and San Diego, Suppan has given up just five runs in 22 innings pitched. He'll be going for his fourth consecutive road win tonight, where he's 6-5 with a 4.79 ERA overall this year. In nine career starts against the Dodgers, Suppan is 4-4 with an ERA of 4.02. The UNDER is 4-1-1 in Suppan's last six starts on the road.

Brewers are 9-2 in their last 11 games overall.
The UNDER is 12-2-1 in Milwaukee's last 15 road games.

Key Injuries - OF Ryan Braun (.300; back) is questionable.

PROJECTED SCORE: 5 (Side Play of the Day)

Dodgers (-145, O/U 8): Clayton Kershaw has been remarkable over his last four starts, allowing just four runs in 25 innings of work. As a matter of fact, Kershaw has given up three runs or less an impressive eight times in his last 10 starts. Kershaw hasn't had much luck at Dodger Stadium, however. In seven home starts, he's just 1-2, despite sporting an impressive 3.08 ERA. The UNDER is 4-0 in Kershaw's last four starts.

Dodgers are 13-4 in their last 17 home games.
Dodgers are 5-1 in their last 6 games overall.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 4

Philadelphia Phillies at San Diego Padres [ESPN | 8:05 PM ET]

Phillies (-185, O/U 7): It's been a long time since Cole Hamels has tasted victory. He hasn't won a decision since July 3. However, he hasn't pitched awful over his last six starts, as he's allowed three runs or less four times. Hamels has largely been a victim of poor run support from the Phillies offense. Hamels is 4-2 on the road with a solid 3.64 ERA. With Hamels pitching pretty well and not receiving much run support, it's no surprise that the UNDER is 7-2-1 in his last 10 starts.

Phillies are 13-4 in the last 17 meetings at San Diego.
The UNDER is 7-3-1 in Philadelphia's last 11 games overall.

Key Injuries - 3B Pedro Feliz (.256; back) is on the 15-day DL.

PROJECTED SCORE: 4

Padres: Cha Seung Baek has pitched poorly in three of his last four starts, although he's 2-2 over that stretch. In his last 22 innings of work, Baek has given up 30 hits and 16 runs. If there is one pitcher in MLB who dreads pitching at home, it's Baek. In eight starts at Petco Park, Baek is an unfathomable 0-7 with a lofty 6.46 ERA. The OVER has been a solid bet with Baek on the mound, going 4-2 in his last six starts

Padres are 8-19 in their last 27 home games.
Padres are 0-6 in Baek's last 6 home starts.

Key Injuries - C Josh Bard (.209, elbow) is on the 15-day DL.

PROJECTED SCORE: 3
