Tips and Trends
Kansas City Royals at Boston Red Sox
Royals: After a strong 3-0 start to the season, Brian Bannister has been horrible of late, losing five of his last six starts. Over that span, Bannister has given up 25 runs in 35.2 innings pitched. Remarkably, even with Bannister's recent struggles, six of his nine starts this year have gone under the total. Bannister has been miserable on the road where he's 1-3 with a disappointing 7.59 ERA.
The UNDER is 11-2-1 in Kansas City's last 14 Thursday games.
Key Injuries - NONE
PROJECTED SCORE: 2 (UNDER - Total Play of the Day)
Red Sox (-230, O/U 9): Daisuke Matsuzaka is a perfect 7-0 on the season with an impressive 2.15 ERA. The Red Sox are undefeated when Dice-K takes the mound in 2008, going 9-0. Amazingly, even though he's perfect on the year, Matsuzaka has walked 32 batters in 54.1 innings pitched. Despite putting runners on base, Dice-K has given up two runs or less in seven of nine starts. Matsuzaka has one career start versus the Royals, getting the win after allowing one run in 7.0 innings of work.
Red Sox are 22-6 in their last 28 Thursday games.
Key Injuries - NONE
PROJECTED SCORE: 5
New York Mets at Atlanta Braves
Mets (-115, O/U 8): The Mets have certainly gotten their money's worth with Johan Santana this season. New York's ace is 5-2 with a 3.30 ERA on the year. Santana has given up three or fewer runs in seven of his nine starts. Santana is money on the road this year, where he's 4-1 with an ERA of 2.81. He lost his one career start against the Braves but you can't really put the blame on him. Santana gave up just one run in seven innings pitched but didn't receive any run support in a 3-1 Braves victory earlier this year.
Mets are 2-8 in their last 10 Thursday games.
Key Injuries - NONE
PROJECTED SCORE: 3
Braves: As good as Santana has been this season, Tim Hudson has been equally as impressive for Atlanta, going 6-3 with a 3.06 ERA. Hudson has given up two runs or less in five starts this year, all Braves victories. The under has been kind with Hudson on the mound, cashing in six of his 10 starts. Hudson has been close to unbeatable at home in 2008, going 4-1 with a 2.94 ERA in five starts at Turner Field.
The UNDER is 10-2 in the last 12 meetings at Atlanta.
Key Injuries - NONE
PROJECTED SCORE: 4 (Side Play of the Day)
Cleveland Indians at Chicago White Sox
Indians: Aaron Laffey has been a revelation for Cleveland this season. Laffey is 2-2 but possesses a minuscule 1.35 ERA. After giving up four runs in his first start, Laffey has only allowed two runs in his last 21 innings pitched. Even more impressive is those two runs were unearned. Three of Laffey's four starts in 2008 have easily gone under the posted total. He has one career start against the White Sox, getting the win despite giving up four runs in 5.2 innings of work.
The UNDER is 7-2 in Cleveland's last 9 road games.
Key Injuries - NONE
PROJECTED SCORE: 4
White Sox (-110, O/U 8.5): Following five straight losing decisions, Mark Buehrle finally got a win in his last start over the Giants. After giving up a combined 13 runs in his two previous outings, Buehrle only allowed seven hits and one run to the Giants over 6.2 innings. Buehrle can't be happy to see the Indians. He's 8-11 with an ERA of 4.93 in 29 career starts versus the Tribe. Pitching at home hasn't benefited Buehrle this season, where he's 0-2 with a 5.79 ERA in three starts.
The UNDER is 6-2-1 in Chicago's last 9 Thursday games.
Key Injuries - NONE
