Tips and Trends

Los Angeles Dodgers at Chicago Cubs [ESPN | 7:05 PM ET]

Dodgers: After four straight no-decisions, Hiroki Kuroda is 1-1 in his last two starts. Kuroda has actually pitched pretty well in his last three outings, allowing seven runs in 21 innings. This is Kuroda's sixth start on the road where he hasn't had much success going 1-3, although he does possess a 3.09 ERA away from Dodger Stadium. The UNDER has been a money making proposition with Kuroda on the mound, cashing in seven of his 10 starts this season.

Dodgers are 13-7 in the last 20 meetings at Chicago.
The UNDER is 7-3 in LA's last 10 games following a loss.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 4

Cubs (-110): Sean Gallagher will be making his fourth start of the season on Tuesday after giving up 10 runs in 14.2 innings pitched during his first three. Gallagher won his only start at Wrigley Field this year, giving up just one run in a 7-4 victory over the Pirates. Gallagher has only experienced two innings of work against the Dodgers in his career but they didn't go well, leaving him with a 13.50 ERA and 2.50 WHIP.

Cubs are 20-6 in their last 26 home games.
The UNDER is 20-8-2 in Chicago's last 30 Tuesday games.

Key Injuries - NONE

Atlanta Braves at Milwaukee Brewers [8:10 PM ET]

Braves (-145, O/U 8.5): Tim Hudson has been a monster for the Braves this year, going 7-3 with a 2.97 ERA and winning four of his last five starts. Hudson has given up two runs or less in six starts this season. The veteran is 2-2 in five starts on the road, although he's pitched well sporting a 3.21 ERA and 0.93 WHIP away from Turner Field. The UNDER has been a smart investment in games with Hudson on the mound, cashing in his last six starts.

Braves are 7-2 in their last 9 games overall.
The UNDER is 8-0 in Atlanta's last 8 Tuesday games.

Brewers are 3-8 in their last 11 games following a win.

Tigers: The Tigers ended a three-game losing streak with Jeremy Bonderman on the mound when they recorded a 9-2 victory over Seattle last week.

As bad the Tigers starting rotation has been in 2008, Bonderman has actually performed pretty well, allowing three runs or less in six starts. Bonderman has been tough on the road, going 2-1 with 3.04 ERA. Four of the last five games Bonderman has started came in UNDER the total.
