Tips and Trends
Seattle Mariners at Boston Red Sox [FOX | 3:55 PM ET]
Mariners: Miguel Batista hasn't won a game in almost a month. It's not surprising when you consider that Batista has allowed 11 walks and 17 runs in his last 20.2 innings pitched. As you might expect, three of the last four games that Batista started have gone over the total. He's also struggled on the road, going 1-3 while allowing teams to hit .293 against him. Batista got a no decision against Boston on May 27 after allowing only three runs through seven innings in a 4-3 Mariners win.
Mariners are 8-22 in their last 30 road games.
Key Injuries - NONE
Red Sox (-180, O/U 10.5): After a solid start to the season, Tim Wakefield has fallen on hard times of late. The Red Sox have come away losers the last three times Wakefield has taken the mound. Over that span, Wakefield has allowed 11 runs in 20 innings of work. Five of Wakefield's previous six starts have come on the road. He returns to Fenway Park today where he is 2-1 with a 4.26 ERA in four starts this season. Four of Wakefield's last five starts have gone OVER the total.
Red Sox are 16-6 in the last 22 meetings at Boston.
Red Sox are 42-13 in their last 55 home games.
The UNDER is 10-3-1 in Boston's last 14 games as a favorite.
Key Injuries - DH/OF Manny Ramirez (.301; hamstring) is questionable. OF Jacoby Ellsbury (.287; wrist) is questionable.
Cleveland Indians at Detroit Tigers [FOX | 3:55 PM ET]
Indians: Aaron Laffey was cruising along nicely this season until he ran into the Rangers his last time out and gave up 11 hits and eight runs over five innings. It was only the second time this season that Laffey has allowed more than two runs in a game. Laffey has been spectacular at home but that success hasn't transferred over to his road starts, where he's 0-1 with an ERA of 7.50. Even worse, teams are hitting a whopping .347 against Laffey on the road. Laffey's last two starts have both gone OVER the total.
Key Injuries - NONE
Tigers (-115, O/U 10): Kenny Rogers has pitched brilliantly in his last two starts but has two no decisions to show for it. In his last 14 innings of work, Rogers has given up just two runs but he's suffered from a lack of run support. The Gambler is 2-1 at home this season but his 6.10 ERA at Comerica Park is nothing to brag about. Rogers' last two games have gone under but his eight previous outings all soared OVER the total.
Key Injuries - NONE
Chicago Cubs at Los Angeles Dodgers [FOX | 3:55 PM ET]
Cubs (-130, O/U 7.5): Carlos Zambrano is pitching like a future Cy Young winner with an 8-1 record and 2.81 ERA. Zambrano's lone lose came all the way back on April 11. Big Z just shut down the Dodgers a week ago at Wrigley Field, getting the win after allowing only one run in eight innings of work. Being on the road is no problem for Zambrano. He's 4-1 with a 2.73 ERA away from home this season. As dominating as Zambrano has been, surprisingly four of his last five starts have easily gone OVER the total.
Cubs are 10-2 in their last 11 games overall.
Cubs are 2-7 in their last 9 games as an underdog.
Key Injuries - NONE
Dodgers: Derek Lowe is just 1-1 over his last three starts but he's been pitching extremely well. In his last 22 innings pitched, Lowe has given up just three runs. One of those games was against the Cubs where Lowe settled for a no decision after not allowing a run over seven innings in a 2-1 Dodgers loss. Lowe has been much more effective at home than on the road this year. In seven starts at Dodger Stadium, Lowe possesses a formidable 2.97 ERA.
The UNDER is 9-2 in LA's last 11 games as a favorite.
The UNDER is 8-2 in LA's last 10 home games.
Key Injuries - NONE
Minnesota Twins at Chicago White Sox [WGN | 7:05 PM ET]
Twins: Livan Hernandez hasn't recorded a loss in his last three starts thanks in large part to great run support but he's pitched awful in all three outings. Over that three-game span, Hernandez has given up an unfathomable 36 hits and 19 runs in just 17.1 innings of work. Amazingly, the Twins won two of those games. As expected with his recent struggles, nine of the last 10 games Hernandez has started went over the total. Hernandez's best performance this season came against the White Sox when he pitched a complete game, allowing just a single run.
The UNDER is 7-3 in Minnesota's last 10 road games.
Key Injuries - NONE
White Sox (-160, O/U 9): The White Sox starting rotation has pitched phenomenal so far this season, although the one exception has been Mark Buehrle. Buehrle has only won once in his last 10 starts and has a lofty 5.20 ERA on the season. In his last outing versus the Twins, Buehrle was lit up for nine hits and seven runs in just 5.2 innings. Overall, Buehrle has had success against Minnesota over his career, going 20-11 with a 3.87 ERA in 32 starts. Even though he's been inconsistent, three of Buehrle's last four starts have come in UNDER the total.
White Sox are 15-6 in their last 21 games overall.
White Sox are 7-3 in the last 10 meetings at Chicago.
The OVER is 7-1 in Vazquez's last 8 starts on grass.
