Tips and Trends
Arizona Diamondbacks at Chicago Cubs
Diamondbacks: Heralded rookie Max Scherzer will look to bounce back from a rough first start in the majors against the Phillies on Monday. Arizona's first-round pick in the 2006 draft gave up 5 runs and 8 hits in 4 innings of work to take the loss, striking out 5 and walking 2. Scherzer had retired all 13 batters he faced in his major-league debut against the Astros on April 29th, pitching 4 1/3 scoreless innings of relief with no walks and 7 strikeouts.
Diamondbacks are 6-3 in their last 9 games as an underdog.
Diamondbacks are 8-4 in their last 12 road games.
Key Injuries - NONE
Cubs (-130): Chicago's Ryan Dempster will look to overcome a rough history against the Diamondbacks on Saturday. Dempster is just 1-4 lifetime against them with a 6.04 ERA. He is coming off a tough outing at Cincinnati on Monday, allowing 5 unearned runs in a 5-3 loss. The veteran right-hander has earned all 4 of his wins at the friendly confines of Wrigley Field despite a 4.30 ERA.
Cubs are 11-3 in their last 14 home games.
The UNDER is 8-1 in the last 9 meetings.
Key Injuries - NONE
New York Yankees at Detroit Tigers
Yankees: Darrell Rasner gets the start for the pitching-starved Yankees. Rasner has only 1 start on the season and it was a productive one. He gave up just 5 hits and 2 runs over 6 innings in an 8-2 win against Seattle. Rasner has 1 relief appearance in his career against Detroit, giving up only a single hit in 1 2/3 innings of work
Key Injuries - NONE
Tigers (-135, O/U 9.5): Although he's 2-3, Jeremy Bonderman has been one of the Tigers more consistent pitchers this season. When Bonderman has gotten into trouble, it's been because he's put too many runners on the base paths. In 41 innings pitched, Bonderman has walked 25 batters, while striking out 22. Bonderman hasn't had much success against the Yankees, going 3-6 with a 5.21 ERA in 10 starts.
Key Injuries - NONE
St. Louis Cardinals at Milwaukee Brewers
Cardinals: Joel Pineiro has been solid in 2 of his last 3 starts. In wins over Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, Pineiro only gave up 1 run in 14 innings of work. However, Pineiro struggled in his last outing against the Rockies, giving up 8 hits and 4 runs in 3 innings. Pineiro is less effective on the road, where his ERA is a lofty 6.59 this season.
Cardinals are 10-5 in the last 15 meetings.
Key Injuries - NONE
Brewers (-175, O/U 8.5): Ben Sheets is an impressive 4-0 on the season but his worst 2 performances have been his most recent outings against the Astros and Cubs. Sheets has given up 8 runs in his last 11 1/3 innings but has been bailed out by strong run support. Another concern is 7 of Sheets' 11 walks on the year have come in his last 2 games. This will be a rare home appearance for Sheets, with 5 of his first 6 starts coming on the road.
Brewers are 1-6 in their last 7 games overall.
The UNDER is 7-2 in Milwaukee's last 9 games as a favorite.
Key Injuries - NONE
