Tips and Trends
Philadelphia Phillies at Chicago Cubs
Phillies (-$1.15 O/U 10): Three-time Cy Young Award winner Pedro Martinez makes his Phillies and 2009 debut. The 37-year-old right-hander last pitched in the majors on Sept. 25 of 2008 for the Mets against the Cubs. Martinez went 1-1 with a 5.11 ERA and 16 strikeouts in three minor league rehab appearances spanning 12 1/3 innings. Philadelphia has defeated Chicago in five of its last six meetings. Jimmy Rollins has hit safely in 23 of his last 26 games, smacking six homers and driving in 20 runs during this span. However, the Phillies’ four leading home run hitters – Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Raul Ibanez and Jayson Werth – have combined for one home run this month. The Phillies are 3-6 in their last nine games. Their bullpen faces fatigue issues after Tuesday’s extra-inning win with relief pitchers J.C. Romero and Clay Condrey both on the DL.
The Phillies are 36-16 in their last 52 games versus National League Central Division clubs.
The Under is 7-2-1 in the Phillies’ last 10 games against a right-handed starter.
Key Injuries - J.C. Romero (elbow) and Clay Condrey (oblique) are on the DL.
PROJECTED SCORE: 6
Cubs: The Cubs have dropped five of their last six games. Chicago has won 33 of its last 53 games at Wrigley Field, including eight of its last 11 there. Jeff Samardzija is set to make his first big-league start. The former Notre Dame football standout is 1-1 with a 6.29 ERA in 16 relief appearances for the Cubs spanning 24 1/3 innings. The right-hander pitched 1 2/3 innings against the Phillies on July 21 and took the loss after surrendering a three-run homer to Jayson Werth. Samardzija pitched four innings of relief in his last outing, Friday against the Rockies giving up two runs. Samardzija was 5-3 with a 3.72 ERA in the minors this season with 12 of his 13 outings coming as a starter. Milton Bradley is nine for his last 17 since being moved to second in the batting order.
The Under is 11-4-3 the last 18 times the Cubs have hosted the Phillies.
Key Injuries - Aramis Ramirez is not expected to play having missed the last three games with shoulder soreness.
PROJECTED SCORE: 5 (OVER - Total of the Day)
Chicago White Sox at Seattle Mariners
White Sox: Since tossing the 18th perfect game in Major League history, White Sox lefty Mark Buehrle has struggled. Buehrle (11-6, 3.89 ERA) is 0-3 with an 8.35 ERA since he made history on July 23. Buehrle wasn’t sharp in his last start on Friday, yielding six runs on 11 hits in 7 2/3 innings against the Indians. Buehrle allowed at least one runner to reach base in every inning, but was helped by six double-play grounders, the most since 1972. Buehrle has pitched better at home, where he’s 7-3 with a 3.33 ERA, than on the road where his record is 4-3 with a 4.81 ERA. Lifetime against the Mariners, Buehrle is 7-4 with a 4.02 ERA in 14 appearances. Chicago is 2-8 in its last 10 games versus a right-handed starter. The White Sox have lost eight of their last 11 at Safeco Field.
The Under has cashed 7 of the past nine times the White Sox have been on the road against a team with a winning home mark.
Key Injuries - None
PROJECTED SCORE: 3
Mariners (-$1.35, O/U 7.5 under -$1.15): Felix Hernandez hasn’t been as sharp at home as he has been on the road. The right-hander is 4-3 with a 4.05 ERA at Safeco Field compared to 8-1 with a 1.96 ERA away from home. Overall, Hernandez is 12-4 with a 2.84 ERA. Hernandez, though, wasn’t sharp in his last game Friday at home against Tampa Bay. The Mariners managed to win, but Hernandez didn’t get the decision after giving up three earned runs, five hits and six walks in six innings. Despite the abbreviated start, Hernandez still threw 113 pitches. In his last three outings, Hernandez has yielded 12 earned runs in 18 2/3 innings giving up 22 hits and 11 walks, while allowing four homers. Hernandez was dominant in his lone start against the White Sox this season, holding them scoreless for eight innings while giving up four hits and striking out nine.
Seattle is 2-7 in its last nine versus a left-handed starter.
The Over has cashed in 7 of the Mariners’ last eight games.
Key Injuries - Erik Bedard (shoulder) is on the DL.
