Tips and Trends
Los Angeles Angels at Boston Red Sox [NESN | 7:05 ET]
Angels: It's usually good news for the Angels when John Lackey takes the mound. LA is 9-1 in his last 10 starts. While the Angels have had success when Lackey pitches, his last four outings haven't been very impressive. He's allowed 36 hits and 21 runs in his last 23.2 innings of work, although LA is 3-1 thanks to an offense that's red hot. Lackey has been strong on the road this season but that could end tonight against a Red Sox team he's only 2-6 with a 6.01 ERA against in his career. Lackey's last four starts have all easily gone OVER the total.
Angels are 11-3 in their last 14 games as an underdog.
Angels are 2-11 in Lackey's last 13 starts vs. Boston.
Key Injuries - NONE
PROJECTED SCORE: 4
Red Sox (-120, O/U 9): Clay Buchholz won his first game since May 7 in his last start against the Mariners. Buchholz only lasted 5.1 innings but got the win after allowing three runs and striking out seven. Buchholz faced the Angels on July 18 and took the loss after getting blasted for eight hits and four runs over four innings. He's pitched much better at home this season, going 2-1 with a strong 2.42 ERA. The OVER is 7-2-1 in Buchholz's last 10 starts.
Red Sox are 44-15 in their last 59 home games.
Red Sox are 0-6 in the last 6 meetings.

Chicago Cubs at Milwaukee Brewers [WGN | 8:05 PM ET]
Cubs: Carlos Zambrano gets the call tonight and the Cubs ace has pitched extremely well in three of his last four starts. Zambrano bounced back from a subpar performance against the Astros by pitching seven strong innings versus Florida, allowing just two runs. Big Z is an average 9-8 in 21 career starts against the Brewers, although he does posses a solid 3.87 ERA in those games. The UNDER is 4-2 in Zambrano's last six outings.

However, two of those games were on the road. Tonight Sheets returns home, where he's 4-2 with an impressive 2.96 ERA on the season. Sheets has been in many battles with the Cubbies over his career, going 10-7 with an ERA of 3.76 in 24 starts. The OVER has cashed three of the last four times Sheets has taken the mound.
