Tips and Trends

Baltimore Orioles at Boston Red Sox

Orioles: Baltimore continued its struggles against the Red Sox by dropping the first game of this three-game series to see its overall losing skid reach four games. Saturday’s 3-1 setback lowered the Orioles’ record against Boston this season to 1-7. Jeremy Guthrie (7-8, 5.12 ERA) pitched eight strong innings in his last start and allowed just three hits. However, two of the hits went for home runs. The right-hander has allowed more homers (22) this season than all but one other American League starter. Guthrie is also tied for second in the most earned runs allowed. The right-hander received a no-decision in his lone start against Boston this season (April 17) despite getting tagged for eight runs on eight hits in six innings. Baltimore is now an AL worst 15-33 on the road.

The Under is 9-2 in Baltimore’s last 11 road games.

Key Injuries - None.

PROJECTED SCORE: 4

Red Sox (-$2.10 O/U 9.5): Boston entered this series after dropping five games on their recently completed six-game road trip. That included suffering a three-game sweep at Yankee Stadium. However, Friday’s 3-1 win against the O’s lifted Boston’s home record to a sizzling 32-14. Jon Lester (8-7, 3.87 ERA) was a tough-luck loser in his last start after allowing five hits and three runs over seven innings. His opponent was Roy Halladay, who pitched a complete game gem at Toronto. Lester has been on a roll, yielding three earned runs or less in his last nine starts. In nine Fenway starts, Lester is 4-3 with a 3.14 ERA. He was dominant in his two previous starts against the Orioles this season, going 2-0 and not allowing an earned run over 14 innings. Boston is 12-7 in Lester’s first 19 starts this season.

The Under is 20-7-3 in Boston’s last 30 home games.

Key Injuries - None

PROJECTED SCORE: 5 (Side of the Day)

St. Louis Cardinals at Philadelphia Phillies

Cardinals: St. Louis celebrated the acquisition of outfielder Matt Holliday by blasting the Phillies, 8-1. Holliday made a heavy contribution by recording four hits and a stolen base. The win was St. Louis’ first against the Phils in three tries this season and lifted the Cards’ road record to 27-25. Kyle Lohse (4-6. 4.21 ERA) looked like himself in his second start off the disabled list, allowing Houston three runs on five hits in seven innings. However, Lohse suffered a 3-2 loss, his third in a row. The Cards are now 4-8 in Lohse’s first 12 starts. Lohse has pitched well against Philadelphia over his career, registering a 3.41 ERA in six starts.

The Under is 7-2 in the Cards’ last nine overall outings.

Key Injuries - None.

PROJECTED SCORE: 6

Phillies (-$1.30, O/U 10): Philadelphia entered this three-game series by winning nine of its last 10 games to move 6 ½ games ahead of second place Atlanta in the NL East. However, Friday’s 8-1 loss lowered the Phils’ home record to just 25-25. That’s very strange, considering the Phils are 29-15 on the road. Rodrigo Lopez (2-0, 2.60) gets the start in Saturday’s nationally televised game. His spot in the rotation is in jeopardy, but only because the Phillies signed Pedro Martinez to presumably take over when ready. Lopez scattered five hits and struck out five over six innings of one run ball in his last start. The 33-year-old right-hander, coming off a nearly two-year absence, has allowed just five runs in three starts, posting a 2.60 ERA.

The Phils are 12-3 in their last 15 home games.

Key Injuries - None.

PROJECTED SCORE: 5 (OVER - Total of the Day)
