Tips and Trends
Florida Marlins at Tampa Bay Rays [7:10 PM ET]
Marlins: Ryan Tucker gets his second career start for the Marlins on Friday night. Tucker pitched well in his first outing against the Reds, allowing just two hits and one run in five innings of work. He did, however, walk five batters, which could be a problem against a Tampa squad that is very proficient when it comes to driving in baserunners. Tucker did a good job of not allowing those walks to hurt him by striking out six Reds as well.
Key Injuries - NONE
Rays (-150, O/U 9.5): The Rays return home after a long West Coast road trip, but that's not necessarily a good thing for starting pitcher Andy Sonnanstine. The 6-foot-3 right-hander is 4-1 on the road this season, compared to just 2-2 at home. He hasn't pitched well overall of late, going 0-2 with two no-decisions in his last four starts. In Sonnanstine's last 21.2 innings pitched he's given up 35 hits and 19 runs.
Key Injuries - NONE
Boston Red Sox at Cincinnati Reds [NESN | 7:10 PM ET]
Red Sox: Jason Masterson has pitched very well in his four starts for the Red Sox, going 3-0 with a 2.59 ERA. Masterson has allowed only one run in three of his four starts. The one problem Masterson has had early in his career is walks. He's given up 12 free passes in 24.1 innings of work. As good as Masterson has been, he's had the luxury of starting all of his games at the friendly confines of Fenway Park, making this the first road start of his young career.
Key Injuries - NONE
Reds (-115, O/U 9): This isn't the way the Reds and Aaron Harang envisioned the 2008 season going. Harang is just 2-9 with a 4.31 ERA and hasn't won a game since May 12. Since then, Harang is 0-4-2 and the Reds have lost all six of those starts. Harang has been particularly bad in his last three outings, giving up 30 hits and 17 runs in just 15.1 innings of work. Harang is just 1-3 in seven home starts this season but he does have a respectable 3.72 ERA. The OVER is 4-1 in Harang's last five starts.
Key Injuries - NONE
Philadelphia Phillies at St. Louis Cardinals [8:15 PM ET]
Phillies: The Phillies have had a lot of success when Kyle Kendrick takes the mound this season, going 9-1 in his last 10 starts. Over that span, the Phillies have scored at least five runs in every game. Even though he's been helped out by a lot of run support, Kendrick has pitched pretty well recently. In his last 23 innings of work Kendrick has allowed 13 runs and that includes a 5-run outing against the Astros. The OVER has been money with Kendrick on the mound. Nine of his last 10 starts have gone OVER the total.
Key Injuries - NONE
Cardinals (-110, O/U 9.5): Kyle Lohse is having a strong season for the Cards, going 7-2 with a 3.92 ERA. Lohse has been on fire of late, winning four consecutive starts. In his last 23 innings pitched, Lohse has only allowed a total of five runs. Lohse has faired well at home, going 3-1 with an ERA of 3.24 in eight starts. Three of Lohse's last four starts have gone UNDER the total.
Key Injuries - NONE
Oakland Athletics at San Francisco Giants [10:15 PM ET]
A's (-120, O/U 8.5): Greg Smith has fallen on hard times of late, winning just twice in his last 10 appearances. Smith was blasted in his last two starts against the Rangers and Angels, allowing 12 runs in 11.1 innings pitched. He's been particularly bad on the road, going 1-3 with an ERA of 4.66 in six starts. Even though he hasn't pitched well, the UNDER is the way to go with Smith on the mound. In his last 10 starts, the UNDER has cashed seven times.
Key Injuries - NONE
Giants: Barry Zito has been the butt of a lot of jokes this season, but he's actually 2-2 in his last four starts. In those games, he's allowed three runs or less three times. The big problem with Zito has been putting runners on base. He's walked 40 batters in 66.1 innings pitched this season. That has a lot to do with Zito's ridiculously high 1.87 WHIP. The Over is 3-1 in Zito's last four starts.
Key Injuries - NONE

MLB Trendspotting
by Josh Nagel
Here is a look at some Major League baseball betting trends through June 10:
American League East
Baltimore Orioles – The Orioles are in the midst of a nice little run during which they have won six of their last eight. Although they are not a serious contender in this division, their value shouldn't be overlooked. They cashed as a +140 dog or better in four of their past six wins, bringing their season profit to +742.
Toronto Blue Jays – The hitting-starved Blue Jays could provide tantalizing values if they were able to just shove a couple more runs across the plate. Anchored by Roy Halladay, Toronto has one of the league's strongest pitching staffs, as its team ERA of 3.47, third in MLB attests. Toronto also ranks second in quality starts (40) and strikeouts (497), but its 26-th ranked offense (4.07 runs per game) should give bettors cause for pause.
American League Central
Minnesota Twins – The reeling Twins just got clobbered in a four-game sweep at the hands of division rival Chicago and poor pitching was the culprit. They were out of every game basically before it started with the exception of the finale, in which they blew a 5-1 lead and lost 7-5. They were outscored 40-15 in those four games and have lost seven of eight overall, including six straight.
Cleveland Indians – Cliff Lee can only start every four days or so, and the lineup has yet to find consistent production. Thus, it continues to be an up-and-down season for the Indians, who have split their last 10 games and can't seem to get any firm traction so far this season. Injuries to Jake Westbrook and Fausto Carmon haven't helped, either.
American League West
Los Angeles Angels – The Angels are one of MLB's hottest teams, winning eight of their last 10, a span that included a six-game win streak. Although they have surprisingly scored more than five runs just once in their last 10, and their 4.24 runs per game is 24th in the majors, the Angels have an overachieving starting staff whose combined record is 29-14
Mariners – Perhaps the anti-Angels of this division, the Mariners have one of the most underachieving starting staffs in the majors, a group that was expected to lead the way to a possible playoff berth. Instead, Seattle has the worst record in baseball and the worst return for bettors at -1,921 units for the season. Despite the chaos that engulfed the team last week when management went on a public tirade after a sweep at the hands of the Angels, manager John McLaren has kept his job for now. The Mariners did take two of there at Toronto and got much-needed performances from Felix Hernandez and Jarrod Washburn.
National League East
Philadelphia Phillies – Behind career years from Chase Utley and Pat Burrell, the Phillies have shook off a slow start and are becoming one of the hottest teams in the National League. They have the third-highest run production in the majors at 5.27 runs per game, and the pitching staff, led by Cole Hamels, has held up its end of the deal as Philadelphia has won seven of 10. The streak included a sweep at Atlanta in which the Phillies brought home underdog money in all three contests, bringing their profit to 730 units on the season.
Washington Nationals – When a team has hitting-challenged as the Giants can come to town and plate 25 runs in a four-game sweep, you know your pitching staff has some serious issues. Well, so does the offense. In losing eight of 10, the Nationals have to score more than three runs and reached that mark just once. Their 3.67 runs per game are 29th in the majors. The best you can say is that they have a youth-laden roster with some long–term potential, but that does not ease the pain of an -879 hit for Washington backers this season.
National League Central
St. Louis Cardinals – The sudden injury to star slugger Albert Pujols should have St. Louis backers understandably worried and, while it is a long-term concern with him on the sidelines indefinitely, there's a good chance they can hold it together without him for a while. The team's starting pitching has been a pleasant surprise, and if it keeps up its pace with a team ERA of 3.90 (10th in the majors), the Cardinals should still have enough offense to get by.
Pittsburgh Pirates – Although the Pirates rank 28th in both team ERA (4.81) and errors (52), they have gotten surprising run production from their lineup (4.85, seventh in the majors), which has allowed them to stay close in a lot of games. Their better-than-expected offense has led to a record of 37-23-5 against the over for the season.
National League West
Los Angeles Dodgers - The Dodgers have a starting staff that is solid enough to whet any bettor's appetite, but their woeful offense will leave you hungry. Sometimes prices on guys like Brad Penny and Derek Lowe seem too good to resist, until you realize the two runs they give up is usually more than enough for the opposition to take the game and the money. It seems no matter how much they tinker with the offense – and a big-name free agent seems to come every off-season – the Dodgers just can't find enough offense to make it worth your while. Because of this, Dodgers backers are down nearly -700 for the season.
San Francisco Giants - The Giants have shown that they have enough pitching to be competitive against just about any team in any game, but the fact that journeyman Bengie Molina is penciled in at the clean-up spot should tell you something about their offense. After getting healthy with a four-game thumping of the Nationals, the Giants are still 26th in the league at 4.11 runs per game. Perhaps their recent improvement will spark a little surge in their offense, but an upcoming weekend homestand against the A’s should provide a stiff challenge.
