Tips and Trends

Philadelphia Phillies at Chicago Cubs [FOX | 3:55 PM ET]

Phillies: Brett Myers has been outstanding since returning from a stint in the minors, going 4-1 in seven starts with three no-decisions. The biggest difference for Myers has been keeping the ball in the park, as he has served up just two homers during that stretch after giving up 24 in his first 17 starts. Myers has been especially strong in winning his last two outings, pitching 16 scoreless innings with four walks and 17 strikeouts. However, both of those starts were at home, and he remains 1-7 on the road this season with a 6.35 ERA.

Phillies are 2-7 in their last 9 road games.
The OVER is 7-2 in Philadelphia's last 9 Saturday games.

Key Injuries - OF Geoff Jenkins (.246; hip) is on the 15-day DL.

PROJECTED SCORE: 4

Cubs (-160, O/U 9) (NA): Chicago has gone 6-1 in Ted Lilly's last seven starts. Like Myers, Lilly has gone 4-1 during that stretch, although he has struggled a bit both at home and against the Phillies. Lilly is 6-4 in 13 starts at Wrigley Field with an inflated 4.48 ERA, and he is 1-2 in three career starts vs. Philadelphia with an even higher 5.19 ERA. He has also clearly benefit from strong run support in his last four wins, as the Cubbies have averaged 9.5 runs in those games.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 5

Baltimore Orioles at Tampa Bay Rays [FOX | 3:55 PM ET]

Orioles: Daniel Cabrera faces a team he has never lost to in the Rays. Cabrera is a perfect 6-0 in 14 career starts vs. Tampa Bay to go along with a 3.63 ERA. He has faced the Rays three times this season though and did not get a decision in any of those games despite the Orioles going 2-1. Cabrera has struggled away from home this season with a 4-6 mark and 4.47 ERA in 16 starts.

Orioles are 8-21 in their last 29 games on field turf.

He is just 2-2 in four career starts against the Orioles with a 5.70 ERA.

Buehrle has made his last four starts at home, with his team emerging victorious each time. However, in his last two road starts, he has surrendered a combined 13 runs and 22 hits in 9.1 innings.
