Tips and Trends
Los Angeles Angels at Tampa Bay Rays [7:10 PM ET]
Angels: Jered Weaver had his best performance in his last four starts in his most recent outing against Cleveland but came up on the short end of the stick, despite only allowing two runs. In his three starts prior to that one, Weaver had allowed 14 runs in 16.2 innings of work. Weaver has been a beast in his career against the Rays. He?s a perfect 2-0 versus Tampa with a stellar 1.93 ERA. Weaver?s last start went UNDER, ending a streak of three straight OVERS with him on the mound.
Angels are 2-6 in Weaver's last 8 Wednesday starts.
The OVER is 7-3 in LA's last 10 games vs. AL East.
Key Injuries - 3B Maicer Izturis (.269; thumb) is OUT for the season.
PROJECTED SCORE: 3
Rays (-125, O/U 8.5): Matt Garza is coming off pitching a gem versus the Rangers. In the win over Texas, Garza pitched a complete game, two-hit shutout, striking out nine. It?s the second time in four starts that Garza has pitched a complete game. He?s been tough at home this season, going 6-2 with an ERA of 2.47. Garza has one career start versus the Angels but it didn?t go well. He took the loss after allowing four runs in 5.1 innings. The UNDER is 4-1 in Garza?s last five starts.
Rays are 43-10 in their last 52 home games.
The UNDER is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings.
Key Injuries - 3B Evan Longoria (.278; wrist) is on the 15-day DL.
OF Carl Crawford (.273; hand) is OUT for the season.
PROJECTED SCORE: 5 (Side Play of the Day)
San Diego Padres at Arizona Diamondbacks [9:40 PM ET]
Padres: Jake Peavy is only 9-8 on the season, but he does possess an impressive 2.61 ERA. Peavy has suffered from a lack of run support. As a matter of fact, in his last 10 starts Peavy has allowed three runs or less nine times. However, he?s just 4-4 with two no-decisions over that span. Peavy has struggled against Arizona over his career, going just 11-10 with a 4.73 ERA. The UNDER is money with Peavy on the mound, going 8-1-1 in his last 10 outings.
Padres are 8-21 in their last 29 Wednesday games.
The OVER is 4-1 in San Diego's last 5 road games.
Key Injuries - C Nick Hundley (.198; ankle) has returned.
PROJECTED SCORE: 3
Diamondbacks (-160, O/U 7): Dan Haren has been red hot, going 4-1 in his last five starts. In his last outing versus Colorado, Haren allowed only two runs in eight innings of work. Haren has been tough to beat at Bank One Ballpark, going 9-3 with a minuscule 2.96 ERA. Haren faced the Padres three weeks ago, getting the win after allowing just three runs over seven innings. Despite Haren?s stellar pitching, the OVER is 4-1 in his last five starts.
Diamondbacks are 9-4 in Haren's last 13 home starts.
Diamondbacks are 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.
Key Injuries - 1B Conor Jackson (.302; rest) has returned.
PROJECTED SCORE: 4
Colorado Rockies at Los Angeles Dodgers [10:10 PM ET]
Rockies: Rockies fans must close their eyes every time Jeff Francis takes the mound this season. Francis hasn?t won a start since June 18 and has allowed 32 hits and 20 runs in his last 22 innings of work. Francis has been awful on the road, where he?s 1-3 with a 6.06 ERA on the year. There is a silver lining, however. He?s 5-2 lifetime against the Dodgers with a strong 2.69 ERA. You can expect a lot of runs with Francis on the mound. In his last five starts, the OVER is 4-1.
Rockies are 3-7 in their last 10 games following a win.
The OVER is 8-3 in Colorado's last 10 games following a win.
Key Injuries - NONE
PROJECTED SCORE: 3 (OVER - Total Play of the Day)
Dodgers (-185, O/U 7.5): One of the reasons the Dodgers are competing for the NL West crown is the consistency of Chad Billingsley. Over his last 10 starts, Billingsley has given up more than three runs just once. He?s particularly tough at Dodger Stadium, where he?s 8-4 with an ERA of 3.28 this season. However, Billingsley hasn?t had much luck in four career starts versus the Rockies, going 0-2 with a lofty 6.46 ERA. Billingsley?s last three home starts have gone UNDER the total.
Dodgers are 8-2 in their last 10 home games.
The UNDER is 7-3 in LA's last 10 games vs. NL West.
Key Injuries - 2B Jeff Kent (.279; foot) has returned.
PROJECTED SCORE: 6
