Tips and Trends

Chicago White Sox at Boston Red Sox [7:05 PM ET]

White Sox: After winning two consecutive starts, Javier Vazquez dropped his most recent decision to the Rays after allowing four runs over seven innings. Prior to that loss, Vazquez had only allowed one run in his previous 16 innings of work. Vazquez has been a losing proposition on the road, going 4-6 with a 4.55 ERA. He is just 2-5 in his career versus the Red Sox with an ERA of 4.61. The OVER is 3-1 in Vazquez?s last four starts.

White Sox are 11-4 in their last 15 games overall.
The OVER is 12-4-2 in Chicago's last 18 road games.

Key Injuries - OF Dewayne Wise (.288; groin) is on the 15-day DL.

PROJECTED SCORE: 4

Red Sox (-165, O/U 9.5): Boston will be seeking its sixth straight win with Daisuke Matsuzaka on the mound when he fills in for the injured Josh Beckett. Dice-K has gone 4-0 in his last five starts, giving up two runs or less in four of those outings. However, he is coming off a rough start at Toronto on Sunday, surrendering five runs and eight hits - including two homers - in six innings of an eventual 6-5 win. Matsuzaka is 8-2 at home with a 3.28 ERA.

Red Sox are 7-1 in their last 8 games following a loss.
The OVER is 7-1-2 in Boston's last 10 games overall.

Key Injuries - OF J.D. Drew (.280; back) is on the 15-day DL.
3B Mike Lowell (.270; oblique) is on the 15-day DL.

PROJECTED SCORE: 6

Los Angeles Dodgers at Arizona Diamondbacks [9:40 PM ET]

Dodgers (-125, O/U 8.5): Hiroki Kuroda has only allowed one run in four of his last five starts but he?s just 2-1 with two no-decisions over that span. In his most recent start against the Phillies, Kuroda only allowed one run in six innings of work but took a no-decision in a 5-2 Dodgers loss. Kuroda has struggled on the road this season, going just 2-7 with a 4.48 ERA. Four of Kuroda?s last five starts have come in UNDER the total.

Dodgers are 0-9 in their last 9 road games.
The UNDER is 6-2 in LA's last 8 games overall.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 5 (Side Play of the Day)

Diamondbacks: After a tough stretch in early August, Doug Davis has pitched pretty well in his last two starts, allowing five runs in 13 innings of work. When Davis gets into trouble, it?s usually because of control issues. He has walked 52 batters in 112.2 innings this season. Davis has had success against the Dodgers in his career, going 4-3 with an impressive 2.98 ERA. However, he didn?t last long in his most recent outing versus the Dodgers on August 3, hitting the showers after giving up five runs in only 1.2 innings.

Diamondbacks are 2-8 in Davis' last 10 starts overall.
Diamondbacks are 3-7 in their last 10 Friday games.

Key Injuries - OF Justin Upton (.242; oblique) is on the 15-day DL.

PROJECTED SCORE: 3
