Tips and Trends

Cleveland Indians at Chicago White Sox

Indians: The White Sox have lost four in a row, including being shut out in three of their last four games, but the Indians haven’t had much recent success against Chicago at U.S. Cellular Field. Cleveland is 3-8 there in its last 11 games. The Indians are going to try to take advantage of the White Sox’s scoring slump by trying to get away with pitching Jeremy Sowers, who has a 6.16 ERA. Sowers has allowed just one run on six hits in nine innings since being recalled from Triple-A Columbus on May 23. Sowers has walked six and struck out four during this span. Sowers was sent down to the minors last month following two disastrous starts against the White Sox and Red Sox when he allowed 12 runs in nine innings versus those two teams. The Indians are 3-14 the past 17 times Sowers has been a road underdog.

The Over has cashed in 19 of the past 26 times the Indians have been on the road.

Key Injuries - Asdrubal Cabrera (shoulder) is on the DL.
Grady Sizemore (elbow) is on the DL.

PROJECTED SCORE: 4

White Sox (-$1.35, O/U 9.5): The White Sox are battling a serious scoring slump. They’ve gone 23 1/3 consecutive innings without scoring. No team has been shut out more this season than the White Sox. They’ve already been blanked nine times. The White Sox could be forced to play small ball in this matchup because they are missing injured slugger Carlos Quentin and once again are without suspended outfielder Jermaine Dye. He’s sitting out the second of a two-game league suspension. Gavin Floyd has come on to make three straight quality starts after a slow beginning. He’s lowered his ERA the past three weeks from 7.71 on May 17 down to 5.75. Floyd yielded two runs on four hits in seven innings on Monday in a 6-2 victory over the A’s. Floyd is 2-2 lifetime versus Cleveland with a 6.56 ERA. The White Sox have won 18 of Floyd’s last 24 starts at U.S. Cellular Field.

The Over is 13-5-1 in Floyd’s last 19 home starts.

Key Injuries - Carlos Quentin is on the DL with a foot injury.
Jermaine Dye is suspended for this game.

PROJECTED SCORE: 6 (Side Play of the Day)

New York Mets at Washington Nationals

Mets (-$1.35, O/U 8.5 over -$1.15): Mets pitchers have dominated the Nationals this season winning six of seven with a team ERA of 2.81. While the Nationals continue to have serious bullpen problems, New York closer Francisco Rodriguez is 15-for-15 in save opportunities while allowing just two runs and striking out 28 in 25 2/3 innings. The Mets have defeated the Nationals in 25 of the last 32 games in Washington. Mets starter John Maine has defeated the Nationals four straight times, holding their hitters to a .143 average during this span and compiling a 1.52 ERA. Maine, though, has never pitched at Nationals Park. Maine has been in good form yielding three earned runs or fewer in five of his last six starts. He has given up only one run on seven hits in his last 12 innings. The Mets do have several key injuries, missing injured shortstop Jose Reyes and first baseman Carlos Delgado.

New York is 27-7 in Maine’s past 34 starts versus National League East Division teams.
The Over is 11-2-1 in the last 14 meetings between the two teams in Washington.

Key Injuries - Jose Reyes (calf) is on the DL.
Carlos Delgado (hip) is on the DL.
J.J. Putz (elbow) is on the DL.

PROJECTED SCORE: 5

Nationals: The Nationals continue to flounder having lost 18 of their last 21, including nine of their past 10. Their pitching, particularly their bullpen, and fielding always has been horrendous. However, lately the Nationals’ hitting has gone bad, too. Washington has managed just one run in each of its last three games. Outfielder Austin Kearns is in a real slump batting .167 in his last 54 at bats and not driving in a run in his last 19 games. Southpaw John Lannan tries to end Washington’s slump. The Nationals are 7-26 in Lannan’s last 33 starts. Lannan has a 7.20 ERA in losing his last two starts. He has walked eight batters in the last 10 innings. During his past nine outings, though, Lannan has turned in five quality starts with a 3.23 ERA. He can expect little help from a bullpen that has a 5.74 ERA and lacks a true closer.

The Nationals are 12-39 in their last 51 games against National League East Division competition and 3-16 in Lannan’s past 19 starts versus NL East clubs.

Key Injuries - Outfielder Josh Willingham is questionable with a viral infection.
Catcher Jesus Flores (shoulder) is on the DL.

PROJECTED SCORE: 4 (OVER - Total Play of the Day)

Well It is Saturday
I will Give you an Extra Day
To look at the Lakers Vs Magic Game 2

NBA Game 2
Lakers Vs Magic

When a team loses by 25 points in Game 1 of the NBA Finals,
the spotlight shines on the losing coach.
What will be Stan Van Gundy strategy for Game 2.
________________________________________
Stan Van Gundy will not bench point guard Rafer Alston
in favor of Jameer Nelson,
Stan Van Gundy made a mistake by playing Nelson
for the entire second quarter Thursday night.
Staying to Long with Nelson Effected Alston Play.

Van Gundy said after Game 1
Nelson needs shorter stints on the floor and Alston needs longer ones.

What Else will Van Gundy Change ???
______________________________
Big Time Change here !
Stan Van Gundy will start Marcin Gortat & Dwight Howard at the Same time
Reason ?
Marcin Gortat was his most effective player Thursday night.
In 20 minutes,
Gortat scored only four points,
but had four blocks and eight rebounds on a night
when the Magic were out rebounded 55-41.
Two Tall Men on the Court !!!
looking at some subtle adjustments
to try to get Dwight Howard more spacing
Making it better for him.
