Tips and Trends
Los Angeles Angels at Boston Red Sox [NESN | 7:05 ET]
Angels: Joe Saunders has yet to suffer a loss against the Red Sox in his career, going 3-0 in five starts with an impressive 2.87 ERA. Saunders was solid in his last start vs. Boston back on July 19th but walked away with a no-decision, allowing two runs and six hits in 6.2 innings of an eventual 4-2 victory. He has been especially tough on the road this season, going 7-3 in 10 starts with a 2.41 ERA.
Angels are 12-3 in their last 15 games as an underdog.
Angels are 8-2 in their last 10 games following a win.
Key Injuries - NONE
PROJECTED SCORE: 4
Red Sox (-180, O/U 8.5): Boston has not lost three straight games started by Josh Beckett since the 2006 season and will try to avoid that scenario happening again here against the Angels. Beckett actually pitched very well in his last meeting with LA on July 19th - until the seventh inning. He pitched six scoreless innings before the Angels struck for four runs in the seventh to rally from a 2-0 deficit and win 4-2. That was his first career loss vs. LA, and he is 5-2 in eight home starts with a 4.36 ERA.
Red Sox are 44-16 in their last 60 home games.
Red Sox are 0-7 in the last 6 meetings.
Key Injuries - SS Julio Lugo (.268; quad) is on the 15-day DL.
PROJECTED SCORE: 5
Chicago Cubs at Milwaukee Brewers[ESPN | 8:05 PM ET]
Cubs: The toughest Chicago pitcher against Brewers might very well be Ryan Dempster, who owns a 6-2 lifetime record against them to go along with a sparkling 2.53 ERA. Dempster's last road start at Houston on July 20th was also outstanding, as he pitched eight scoreless innings in a 9-0 victory. Surprisingly, that is his only road win of the season. He is 1-3 in nine starts away from home with a solid 3.42 ERA.
Cubs are 3-9 in their last 12 games as an underdog.
The OVER is 6-2 in Chicago's last 8 games overall.
Key Injuries - Closer Kerry Wood (24 saves; finger) is on the 15-day DL.
PROJECTED SCORE: 3
Brewers (-115, O/U 8.5): Milwaukee's Manny Parra has been outstanding at home this season with a 5-1 mark and 3.15 ERA in 11 starts, but now he has the challenge of facing a strong left-handed hitting team that gave C.C. Sabathia trouble on Monday. Parra has seen the Brewers lose four of the last five games he has appeared in even though he has allowed more than three runs only once during that stretch. Three of those games were one-run losses.
Brewers are 25-12 in their last 37 games as a favorite.
The OVER is 8-3 in Milwaukee's last 11 home games.
Key Injuries - NONE
PROJECTED SCORE: 5 (Side Play of the Day)
Chicago White Sox at Minnesota Twins[8:10 PM ET]
White Sox: Gavin Floyd has struggled on the road this season with a 3-4 mark in nine starts and a 5.29 ERA, but his teammates rallied to win his last outing at Detroit on Friday.
