Tips and Trends
Baltimore Orioles at Chicago Cubs [WGN | 2:20 PM ET]
Orioles: Radhames Liz makes his fifth start of the season and somehow Baltimore is 4-1 in his four previous outings, despite Liz allowing 13 runs in 18.2 innings of work. In his last appearance versus the Brewers, Liz lasted only two innings after giving up five runs on four hits. This will most likely be a high-scoring affair, seeing that the OVER is 3-1 in games started by Liz this season.
The OVER is 9-2 in Baltimore's last 11 road games.
The OVER is 17-5-1 in Baltimore's last 23 interleague games.
Key Injuries - NONE
Cubs (-165): Jason Marquis just keeps winning every time he takes the hill. Marquis has won four straight and the Cubs have come out on top the last five times he's started overall. Marquis allowed five runs to the White Sox in his most recent start but was bailed out by the Cubs scoring 11 runs themselves. In six consecutive starts before that outing, Marquis had allowed three runs or less each time. The OVER is 4-2 in Marquis' last six starts.
Cubs are 15-1 in their last 16 home games.
Key Injuries - NONE
New York Yankees at Pittsburgh Pirates [YES | 7:05 PM ET]
Pitching Tips Top Trends Key Injuries
Yankees (-150, O/U 9): Mike Mussina lost for the first time in a month his last out against the Reds but overall he's been by far the Yankees most consistent pitcher this season. The Moose has done a lot of his damage on the road, where he's 5-1 with a strong 3.50 ERA. Mussina isn't going to allow many cheap runs. He's given out just 13 walks in 89.1 innings pitched this year. The UNDER is 3-1 in Mussina's last four starts.
Yankees are 9-3 in their last 12 games overall.
Key Injuries - OF Johnny Damon (.323; foot) is doubtful.
OF Hideki Matsui (.323; knee) is doubtful.
Pirates: After a rough first month, Paul Maholm has turned his season around, not recording a loss since May 20. The Pirates are 5-1 over that span. Maholm has really been tough at home where he's 4-1 with a 3.47 ERA in nine starts. Throw in the fact that the Yankees struggle against lefties and the stage is set for Maholm to have another strong outing tonight. But even though he's been pitching well, the OVER is still 7-3 the last 10 times Maholm has taken the mound.
Pirates are 7-3 in their last 10 home games.
The OVER is 8-2 in Pittsburgh's last 10 games vs. AL East.
Key Injuries - OF Xavier Nady (.314; shoulder) is questionable.
San Francisco Giants at Cleveland Indians [7:05 PM ET]
Giants: Matt Cain is currently in the midst of a win-one, lose-one pattern and unfortunately for the Giants, he's due for a loss tonight. In his last two wins, Cain has allowed four runs in 14.1 innings of work. In his last two losses, Cain has given up eight runs over 13 innings. It's the kind of inconsistency that's plagued the Giants right-hander all season. Cain has been average on the road, going 2-2 with a 4.14 ERA in eight starts. The UNDER has cashed in three of Cain's last four outings.
Giants are 11-4 in their last 15 road games.
Key Injuries - NONE
Indians (-160, O/U 8): Cliff Lee continues to roll along, not losing a decision since May 18. In his last six starts, Lee is 4-0 with two no-decisions. He's been exceptionally tough in his last three starts, allowing just five runs over 18.2 innings. Lee is perfect at home this season, going 3-0 with a spectacular 2.00 ERA. One weird anomaly with Lee is despite all the impressive numbers, the OVER is 4-0-1 in his last five starts.
Indians are 4-11 in their last 15 interleague games.
The OVER is 14-3-1 in Lee's last 18 Thursday starts.
