Tips and Trends
Cleveland Indians at New York Yankees
Indians: After getting shelled in his first 2 outings of the year, Paul Byrd has rebounded with 4 solid performances. In his last four starts, Byrd has only allowed 4 runs in 25 2/3 innings pitched. One of those games came against the Yankees, and even though he allowed 3 home runs, Byrd and the Indians got the win. In his career, Byrd is 2-4 with 4.64 ERA against New York.
The UNDER is 9-2 in Cleveland's last 11 games overall.
Key Injuries - NONE
PROJECTED SCORE: TBD
Yankees (-145, O/U 9.5): Mike Mussina has really turned it on of late, going a perfect 3-0 in his last 3 starts. Moose has only given up 5 runs and 2 walks in his last 18 innings pitched. Mussina pitched against Cleveland on April 28th, getting the victory after allowing just 2 runs over 5 innings of work. For his career, Mussina is 12-9 versus the Tribe with a 4.75 ERA.
Yankees are 21-7 in the last 28 meetings at New York.
The UNDER is 8-1-1 in New York's last 10 games overall.
Key Injuries - NONE
PROJECTED SCORE: TBD
St. Louis Cardinals at Colorado Rockies
Cardinals: Kyle Lohse has been a valuable addition to the Cardinals rotation this season. After coming over from Philadelphia, Lohse is 3-1 with 3.79 ERA for the Redbirds in 2008. Lohse faced Colorado in the season opener, giving up 3 hits and no runs in a no-decision. One thing to be concerned about is that Lohse was tagged by the Cubs in his most recent outing, allowing 8 runs in 6 innings of work.
Key Injuries - NONE
PROJECTED SCORE: TBD
Rockies (-110, O/U 11): Jorge De La Rosa has only 1 start on the season and it wasn't pretty. In just 4 innings against the Dodgers, De La Rosa gave up 9 runs on 9 hits. Obviously, the Rockies are hoping for a much better performance out him today but that may not happen. In 3 career starts versus the Cardinals, De La Rosa is 1-2 with a 7.11 ERA and 2.05 WHIP, while St. Louis hitters are batting a whopping .329 against him.
Key Injuries - NONE
PROJECTED SCORE: TBD
Boston Red Sox at Detroit Tigers
Red Sox (-135, O/U 8.5): As usual, Josh Beckett has been a horse on the mound for Boston, going at least 6 innings in 4 of his 5 starts. After walking 4 batters in his first outing of the season, Beckett has only walked 1 in each of his last 4 appearances. Beckett has started 1 game in his career against the Tigers, and he was lit up for 6 hits and 5 runs over 6 innings of work.
PROJECTED SCORE: TBD
Key Injuries - NONE
Tigers: It hasn't just been a disappointing start for the Tigers in general this season, but also for their ace Justin Verlander. Verlander is 1-5 with a lofty 6.28 ERA in 2008. In his last 2 outings against the Twins and Angels, Verlander gave up 10 runs and 6 walks in 12 2/3 innings pitched. He's started 2 games in his career against the Red Sox, going 1-1 with an ERA of 4.61.
