Tips and Trends
St. Louis Cardinals at Philadelphia Phillies [7:05 PM ET]
Cardinals: Joel Pineiro finally got some good run support in his last start against the Mets, and it translated to an 8-7 victory. Piniero had seen the Cardinals score three runs or less in his previous five starts, all resulting in losses. Four of those five games came on the road, where he is just 1-3 with a 5.16 ERA in eight starts this season.
The OVER is 7-2 in the last 9 meetings.
Key Injuries - SS Cesar Izturis (.241; hamstring) is on the 15-day DL.
PROJECTED SCORE: 3
Phillies (-200, O/U 9): Ace Cole Hamels will start his first home game against a National League team since June 5th against the Reds. Hamels notched a complete-game shutout in that game, walking three and striking out four. He is a somewhat disappointing 5-4 at home this season with an impressive 2.84 ERA and could be extra motivated after getting snubbed for the NL All-Star team on Sunday in player voting.
Phillies are 1-8 in their last 9 home games.
Phillies are 2-11 in their last 13 games as a favorite.
Key Injuries - RP Tom Gordon (5-4; elbow) is on the 15-day DL.
PROJECTED SCORE: 6
Tampa Bay Rays at New York Yankees [YES | 7:05 PM ET]
Rays: Scott Kazmir has not been particularly sharp in his last two outings, yet his team has still found a way to win. Kazmir has given up four runs in each of his last two starts despite lasting only five innings each time out, but the Rays have won both times by outscoring the opposition 17-11. He is 3-2 on the road this season with a 3.52 ERA and owns a career mark of 3-3 against the Yankees with a 2.68 ERA.
Rays are 11-2 in their last 13 games overall.
The OVER is 4-1 in Tampa Bay's last 5 games overall. SS

PROJECTED SCORE: 4
Yankees (-175, O/U 9): Andy Pettitte brings a very impressive 14-4 career mark vs. Tampa Bay into this meeting, although his results at home have certainly left a lot to be desired. Pettitte is only 3-4 at Yankee Stadium in nine starts this season with a 5.03 ERA, and he was hit hard last time out against the Red Sox there on Friday. He gave up six runs and nine hits in 4.2 innings of a 7-0 loss, walking three and striking out two.
Yankees are 2-8 in their last 10 Tuesday games.
The UNDER is 7-2-1 in New York's last 10 games overall.

Los Angeles Angels at Texas Rangers [8:05 PM ET] | Full Matchup
Angels (-135, O/U 10.5): Joe Saunders is tied for the major-league lead in wins with 12 and was named to the AL All-Star squad on Sunday. If things couldn't get any better for Saunders, his wife is expecting their first child. He is 6-2 on the road this season with a 2.05 ERA but is just 2-2 lifetime vs. Texas with a lofty 6.08 ERA.
Angels are 12-4 in their last 16 road games.
The UNDER is 21-8-2 in LA's last 31 road games.
Key Injuries - C Mike Napoli (.204; shoulder) is on the 15-day DL.
PROJECTED SCORE: 7 (OVER - Total Play of the Day)
Rangers: Rookie Eric Hurley is coming off his first career win against the Phillies at home back on June 29th and is expected to start after being scratched on Saturday with tightness in his hamstring. Hurley has allowed two runs or less in his last three outings - including two at home - but he has not gone more than six innings in any of them.
The OVER is 9-3 in the last 12 meetings.
The OVER is 10-2-2 in the last 14 meetings.
Key Injuries - C Gerald Laird (.306; hamstring) is on the 15-day DL.
OF Milton Bradley (.320; knee) is questionable.
PROJECTED SCORE: 6
Atlanta Braves at Los Angeles Dodgers [10:10 PM ET]
Braves: Atlanta's Jair Jurrjens will try to rebound from his first loss in nine starts when he takes the mound against the Dodgers. Jurrjens surrendered four runs and eight hits in seven innings of a 4-1 home loss to the Phillies last Thursday after failing to allow an earned run in his previous three starts. He is 3-3 on the road this season in eight starts with a 3.35 ERA.
Braves are 5-1 in the last 6 meetings.
Braves are 2-7 in their last 9 games overall.
