    Preview: Cowboys at Cardinals

    Gracenote
    Sep 22, 2017

    The optics that resonated from Ezekiel Elliott's lack of effort in chasing down defenders on a pair of interceptions painted a significantly worse picture than that of his career-worst eight-yard rushing performance. The 2016 NFL rushing leader aims to brush off that unattractive look on Monday as the Dallas Cowboys pay a visit to the Arizona Cardinals.

    "I would say I was just very frustrated, but that's no excuse for the lack of effort I showed on tape," said Elliott, who was shown with hands on hips and walking in the other direction on one interception while remaining on the ground on another in Dallas' 42-17 loss to Denver last week. Elliott's lack of rushing (from scrimmage) played a significant role in Dak Prescott attempting a career-high 50 passes last week. While the Cowboys struggled on the road last week, the Cardinals are embracing the idea of playing their first home game since a preseason tilt on Aug. 19. "It seemed longer than that, too, but it's just good that we finally get a chance to play in front of our home crowd, on our grass. ... It's been a long four weeks, no doubt," Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer said.

    TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN. LINE: Cowboys -3. O/U: 47

    ABOUT THE COWBOYS (1-1): Tight end Jason Witten has been the primary beneficiary of Prescott's penchant to air it out this season, with the Dallas quarterback's 89 pass attempts trailing only Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers (92). The 35-year-old Witten leads the NFL with 17 receptions through two games and his two receiving scores are tied for second best in the league. Dez Bryant found the end zone last week and scored in each of his last two encounters with Arizona, although the wideout is expected to be shadowed throughout Monday's game by All-Pro cornerback Patrick Peterson. Orlando Scandrick is on pace to return after a one-game absence because of a broken left hand, perhaps just in time as fellow cornerback Nolan Carroll remains in the NFL's concussion protocol.
    ABOUT THE CARDINALS (1-1): Perhaps the comforts of home will alter the fortunes of Palmer, who has thrown just two touchdowns against four interceptions this season and is coming off being sacked four times in Arizona's 16-13 overtime win over Indianapolis. J.J. Nelson stepped up versus the Colts, reeling in five catches for 120 yards with a touchdown en route to being named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week. The need for production from the Cardinals' passing game is underscored by the loss of the versatile David Johnson in the season opener. Veteran Chris Johnson, who showed a burst with 11 carries for 44 yards last week, is expected to receive a bigger workload at the expense of fellow running back Kerwynn Williams.

    EXTRA POINTS

    1. With 97 receiving yards, Arizona WR Larry Fitzgerald would pass Pro Football Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison (14,580) for the eighth-most in NFL history.

    2. Dallas DE Demarcus Lawrence, who has a league best-tying four sacks, collected two and forced a fumble last week.

    3. Cardinals LB Karlos Dansby, who had a team-high 10 tackles last week, has recorded at least seven-plus tackles in each of his last four games.

    PREDICTION: Cowboys 24, Cardinals 14

    GAME: Kansas City Royals (76-79) at New York Yankees (86-69)
    DATE/TIME: Monday, September 25 - 1:05 PM EST
    WHERE: Yankee Stadium, Bronx, New York

    Preview: Royals at Yankees

    Gracenote
    Sep 24, 2017

    The New York Yankees already assured themselves of a spot in the postseason and are holding onto the outside chance that they can win the American League East with a strong finish. The Yankees will try to kick off the final week of the regular season with a win when they host the Kansas City Royals in the makeup of a rainout on Monday.

    New York fell five games behind Boston in the AL East when it lost to the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday, and the team appears to be preparing for the wild card game. "It's getting fairly large with seven games to go," Yankees manager Joe Girardi told reporters of the deficit in the East. "Obviously, we're going to keep playing, but I think you start to think ahead a little bit, too, as you move forward and try to set up what possibly could be us playing (in the wild card game)." The Royals had their own plans to crash the October party but are 5 1/2 games behind the Minnesota Twins for the second wild card with eight games to play. Kansas City will try to keep its slim postseason hopes alive behind right-hander Jakob Junis while the Yankees counter with veteran lefty CC Sabathia.

    TV:
    1:05 p.m. ET, MLB Network, FSN Kansas City, YES (New York)

    PITCHING MATCHUP: Royals RH Jakob Junis (8-2, 4.05 ERA) vs. Yankees LH CC Sabathia (12-5, 3.81)

    Junis last suffered a loss on June 29 and allowed three or fewer earned runs in each of his last six outings. The 25-year-old rookie earned a win at Toronto on Wednesday by limiting the Blue Jays to four runs - two earned - and three hits in 6 1/3 frames. Junis is making his first career appearance against the Yankees and is 6-2 with a 4.50 ERA on the road.

    Sabathia allowed two or fewer runs in five of his last six starts and earned a win last time out by holding the Minnesota Twins to two runs and six hits in six innings. The California native completed over six innings just once in his last 13 outings. Sabathia went over six innings at Kansas City on May 16, scattering five hits over 6 2/3 scoreless frames to earn the win.

    WALK-OFFS

    1. Yankees RF Aaron Judge (48) is one homer away from tying the rookie record set by Mark McGwire in 1987.

    2. Kansas City OF Melky Cabrera is 8-for-17 in his last five games.

    3. New York's magic number to clinch homefield advantage in the wild card game is two.

    PREDICTION: Yankees 8, Royals 3

    GAME: Atlanta Braves (70-84) at New York Mets (66-89)

    Preview: Braves at Mets (Game 1)

    Gracenote
    Sep 24, 2017

    The Atlanta Braves open the final week of the season with a doubleheader Monday at the New York Mets, and two games in one day suits Ender Inciarte just fine. The Braves center fielder, who is three hits away from becoming the first Atlanta player in 21 years to reach 200 in a season, collected eight hits in a doubleheader Aug. 30 at Philadelphia and followed up with five in a twinbill Sept. 6 against Texas.

    Despite Inciarte’s strong season the Braves are going to finish below .500 for the fourth consecutive year, but Atlanta (70-84) won three of its past four games and has already surpassed last season’s win total of 68. The Mets have also struggled in 2017, dropping 10 of their past 13 contests, and enter the week a season-worst 23 games under .500. Rookie shortstop Amed Rosario is hitting .341 with eight runs scored in 13 games during September, after going 2-for-4 in New York’s 3-2 loss to Washington on Sunday. The Mets lead the season series 9-6 and have won five of the past six meetings.

    TV: 4:10 p.m. ET, FSN Southeast (Atlanta), SNY (New York)

    PITCHING MATCHUP: Braves RH Lucas Sims (2-5, 5.14 ERA) vs. Mets RH Chris Flexen (3-4, 7.13)

    Sims makes his second consecutive start following a four-appearance stint in the bullpen, giving up one run on three hits with six strikeouts over five innings last Wednesday against Washington. The 23-year-old, who made his major-league debut Aug. 1, has a 5.27 ERA in eight starts with a .281 opponents’ batting average and eight homers allowed in 42 2/3 innings. Sims surrendered three runs in his four relief appearances, including two in two innings Sept. 16 against the Mets.

    Flexen also made his major-league debut this summer and returns to the rotation after spending part of September in the bullpen. The 23-year-old allowed one run over five innings across four relief appearances after firing two scoreless, hitless frames Sept. 20 at Miami. Flexen has surrendered three runs or more in six of his eight starts, including a seven-run, nine-hit outing over four innings of a loss to Houston in his last start Sept. 3.

    WALK-OFFS

    1. New York OF Brandon Nimmo hit a first-inning homer Sunday, giving the Mets their franchise-record tying 218th longball this season.

    2. Braves 1B Freddie Freeman, who missed Saturday’s game with an illness, went 1-for-4 in his return to the lineup Sunday.

    3. Mets INF Asdrubal Cabrera is hitting .379 in September with 11 extra-base hits (eight doubles, three homers) and 11 RBIs in 66 at-bats.

    PREDICTION: Braves 5, Mets 3

    GAME: Washington Nationals (94-61) at Philadelphia Phillies (62-94)

    The Washington Nationals are preparing for what they hope will be a deep run to the postseason. The Nationals will continue to fine-tune in advance of the playoffs when they visit the Philadelphia Phillies for the opener of a three-game series on Monday.

    Washington clinched homefield advantage in its National League Division Series with a win over the New York Mets on Sunday and could get star right fielder Bryce Harper (knee) back as soon as Monday. "That's why these games are so important," Nationals right-hander Max Scherzer told reporters after tossing six solid innings on Sunday. "Everybody's trying to make those fine-tune adjustments to get on top of their game, so when you do get in the playoffs, you're already accustomed to knowing how you need to play offensively and defensively." The rebuilding Phillies showed they weren't afraid of a playoff team by taking three of four from the Los Angeles Dodgers last week and are coming off a 2-0 win at Atlanta on Sunday that marked their final road game. Philadelphia will kick off its last homestand by sending Aaron Nola to the mound on Monday while Washington counters with A.J. Cole.

    TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, MASN (Washington), CSN Philadelphia

    PITCHING MATCHUP: Nationals RH A.J. Cole (2-5, 4.43 ERA) vs. Phillies RH Aaron Nola (12-10, 3.56)

    Cole is finishing out the regular season in the rotation and trying to bounce back after allowing three runs and seven hits over five innings in a loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sep. 16. The 25-year-old came out of the bullpen in his previous two appearances and tossed two scoreless innings of relief against Philadelphia on Sep. 9. Cole made his first start of 2017 at Philadelphia on May 6 and allowed one run on six hits and four walks to earn a win.

    Nola went seven innings in each of his last two outings and surrendered a total of three runs while striking out 19. The LSU product owns 175 strikeouts in 162 innings and punched out eight or more 10 times in his last 17 turns. Nola is making his fourth start this season against the Nationals this season and is 1-0 with a 3.31 ERA in the first three.

    WALK-OFFS

    1. Harper is expected to be activated from the 10-day DL on Monday and play for the first time since Aug. 12.

    2. Philadelphia 2B Cesar Hernandez is 7-for-10 with four runs scored and four walks in the last three games.

    3. Washington 1B Ryan Zimmerman (soreness) sat out all weekend and is day-to-day.

    PREDICTION: Phillies 8, Nationals 6

    GAME: Toronto Blue Jays (73-83) at Boston Red Sox (91-64)

    The Boston Red Sox are on the verge of clinching the American League East for the second straight season and would prefer to take care of that early this week. The Red Sox will try to cut their magic number and earn their seventh consecutive win when they begin the final homestand of the regular season by hosting the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday.

    Boston reduced its magic number to three with a win over the Cincinnati Reds and a loss by the rival New York Yankees on Sunday, and can wrap up the AL East title with a strong series against Toronto this week before potential playoff foes the Houston Astros arrive for the final weekend set. The Red Sox are winners of 14 of their last 17 contests and continue to ride the bullpen, which is working on a streak of 21 2/3 innings without allowing an earned run and owns a 1.09 ERA in the last 17 contests. The Blue Jays helped Boston out by taking two of three from the Yankees over the weekend and are 9-6 in their last 15 games. Toronto will send left-hander Brett Anderson to the mound on Monday while the Red Sox counter with lefty Drew Pomeranz.

    TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, Sportsnet (Toronto), NESN (Boston)

    PITCHING MATCHUP: Blue Jays LH Brett Anderson (3-4, 7.15 ERA) vs. Red Sox LH Drew Pomeranz (16-5, 3.15)

    Anderson is hoping to move past his last start, when he was hammered for eight runs on seven hits and two walks in 1 1/3 innings by the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday. The 29-year-old surrendered three or fewer runs in each of his previous four outings. Anderson was strong at Boston on Aug. 29 but could get no help from his offense and absorbed a loss despite allowing one run in 5 2/3 innings.

    Pomeranz continues to prove he is a frontline starter in the American League and scattered five hits over 6 1/3 scoreless innings on Tuesday at Baltimore. The 28-year-old is 7-1 with a 2.62 ERA in 13 starts since the All-Star break and yielded a total of three runs in 18 1/3 innings over his last three turns. Pomeranz is 3-0 with a 1.93 ERA in three starts against Toronto this season.

    WALK-OFFS

    1. Red Sox UTL Eduardo Nunez (knee) ran the bases before the game on Sunday and could return during the series.

    2. Toronto C Russell Martin recorded seven RBIs in his last four games.

    3. Boston 2B Dustin Pedroia is 1-for-26 in his last seven games.

    PREDICTION: Red Sox 6, Blue Jays 2

    GAME: Atlanta Braves (70-84) at New York Mets (66-89)

    Preview: Braves at Mets (Game 2)

    Gracenote
    Sep 24, 2017

    The Atlanta Braves open the final week of the season with a doubleheader Monday at the New York Mets, and two games in one day suits Ender Inciarte just fine. The Braves center fielder, who is three hits away from becoming the first Atlanta player in 21 years to reach 200 in a season, collected eight hits in a doubleheader Aug. 30 at Philadelphia and followed up with five in a twinbill Sept. 6 against Texas.

    Despite Inciarte’s strong season the Braves are going to finish below .500 for the fourth consecutive year, but Atlanta (70-84) won three of its past four games and has already surpassed last season’s win total of 68. The Mets have also struggled in 2017, dropping 10 of their past 13 contests, and enter the week a season-worst 23 games under .500. Rookie shortstop Amed Rosario is hitting .341 with eight runs scored in 13 games during September, after going 2-for-4 in New York’s 3-2 loss to Washington on Sunday. The Mets lead the season series 9-6 and have won five of the past six meetings.

    TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, FSN Southeast (Atlanta), SNY (New York)

    PITCHING MATCHUP: Braves LH Max Fried (1-0, 4.41 ERA) vs. Mets RH Seth Lugo (6-5, 5.03)

    Fried made four relief appearances in August after being summoned to the majors for the first time, and will make his third start in four appearances this month. The 23-year-old beat the Chicago Cubs for his first major-league victory Sept. 3, and in two starts has allowed four earned runs on 10 hits in 8 2/3 innings. Fried pitched one inning of relief against the Mets on Sept. 16, striking out two of the three hitters he faced.

    Lugo won three of his first four starts this season but has struggled since, and in his past eight starts is 1-3 with a 6.28 ERA in 38 2/3 innings. The 27-year-old got a no-decision while allowing one run on four hits over five innings Tuesday against Miami - five days after surrendering seven earned runs across three innings in a loss to the Cubs. Lugo started his season with a 2-1 victory over the Braves on June 11, giving up only one run on six hits with six strikeouts in seven innings.

    WALK-OFFS

    1. New York OF Brandon Nimmo hit a first-inning homer Sunday, giving the Mets their franchise-record tying 218th longball this season.

    2. Braves 1B Freddie Freeman, who missed Saturday’s game with an illness, went 1-for-4 in his return to the lineup Sunday.

    3. Mets INF Asdrubal Cabrera is hitting .379 in September with 11 extra-base hits (eight doubles, three homers) and 11 RBIs in 66 at-bats.

    PREDICTION: Mets 4, Braves 2

    GAME: Chicago Cubs (87-68) at St. Louis Cardinals (81-74)

    Preview: Cubs at Cardinals

    Sep 24, 2017

    The Chicago Cubs effectively knocked one rival out of the National League Central race over the weekend, and they can officially eliminate another as early as Monday. The Cubs’ magic number to clinch the division crown is two heading into a four-game road series against the St. Louis Cardinals.


    The Cubs lead second-place Milwaukee by 5 1/2 games and can go six up with six to play with a win Monday, as the Brewers are idle. The Cardinals are six back in the division and fighting to remain in the NL wild-card race, trailing Colorado by 2 1/2 games for the final playoff spot. St. Louis lost the final two contests of its three-game series at Pittsburgh over the weekend, while the Cubs took three of four from Milwaukee and have won 10 of their last 12. Chicago leads the season series 11-4.
    TV: 8:15 p.m. ET, MLB Network, CSN Chicago, FSN Midwest (St. Louis)


    PITCHING MATCHUP: Cubs LH Jon Lester (11-8, 4.56 ERA) vs. Cardinals RH Luke Weaver (7-1, 2.05)
    Lester had won three straight starts before he was tagged for seven runs over 4 1/3 innings of a loss at Tampa Bay on Wednesday. The 33-year-old has been inconsistent since the All-Star break with seven quality starts in 11 outings but a couple of clunkers mixed in. Lester is 4-4 with a 2.36 ERA in 13 career starts against the Cardinals, including a 1-1 mark and 3.28 ERA in four meetings this season.
    Weaver has been lights-out of late, winning his last seven starts with a scoreless relief appearance sprinkled in. The 24-year-old is 7-0 with a 1.61 ERA since his only loss of the season and has 58 strikeouts to go along with eight walks in 44 2/3 innings over that span. Weaver faced the Cubs in his big-league debut last season and gave up two runs over four innings in a no-decision.


    WALK-OFFS
    1. The Cubs are 41-28 against NL Central opponents.
    2. St. Louis C Yadier Molina is 12-for-32 with three doubles and a homer against Lester, but the rest of the Cardinals’ roster is a combined 29-for-159 against the southpaw.
    3. Chicago 3B Kris Bryant has reached base in 11 straight games and is batting .329 with 22 doubles, two triples, 10 homers, and 31 RBIs in 69 road games.


    PREDICTION: Cubs 4, Cardinals 3

    GAME: Miami Marlins (73-81) at Colorado Rockies (83-72)

    The Colorado Rockies provided themselves a little breathing room over the weekend and look to finish the job of securing a National League wild-card spot as they play their final six regular-season games at home, beginning with the opener of a three-game series against the Miami Marlins on Monday. The Rockies took two of their last three at San Diego, including an 8-4 triumph on Sunday, and lead Milwaukee and St. Louis by two and 2 1/2 games, respectively, for the second wild card.

    Pat Valaika came off the bench for Colorado to deliver a home run, a double and two RBIs on Sunday in place of All-Star Nolan Arenado, who left the contest with a bruised right hand and told reporters he hopes to be able to play Monday. Tyler Chatwood takes the ball in the series opener against Miami’s Odrisamer Despaigne as Colorado looks to improve upon a 43-32 home record and avenge a three-game sweep at Marlins Park from Aug. 11-13. Miami coughed up a late lead Sunday in a 3-2 loss at Arizona but has won four of its last six contests overall and 13 of the last 17 versus the Rockies. Giancarlo Stanton has belted three of his 57 homers while recording 13 RBIs in the last six games for the Marlins, giving him the highest amount of blasts in a season since Philadelphia's Ryan Howard launched 58 in 2006.

    TV: 8:40 p.m. ET, MLB Network, FSN Florida (Miami), AT&T SportsNet-Rocky Mountain (Colorado)

    PITCHING MATCHUP: Marlins RH Odrisamer Despaigne (0-3, 4.37 ERA) vs. Rockies RH Tyler Chatwood (8-13, 4.56)

    Despaigne notched his third quality start in six tries last time out against the New York Mets, allowing three runs over six innings in a no-decision. The 30-year-old also held Washington to one run and five hits across a season-high seven frames while taking the loss on Sept. 5. Despaigne, who has posted a 7.71 ERA on the road as opposed to a 2.48 mark at home, recorded a save with one scoreless inning against Colorado on Aug. 13.

    Chatwood has given up four runs over 19 2/3 innings and notched a pair of victories since returning to the rotation, but he took the loss last time out at San Francisco. The 27-year-old Californian permitted three runs and five hits across six frames in that outing but owns a 1.77 ERA in September after posting 6.91 and 7.90 marks in the previous two months. Stanton is 2-for-3 with a homer against Chatwood.

    WALK-OFFS

    1. Miami 1B Justin Bour has gone 14-for-37 with four homers and 14 RBIs over his last nine games to raise his batting average to .297.

    2. Colorado RHP Greg Holland needs one save to pass Jose Jimenez (41 in 2002) for the single-season franchise record.

    3. Marlins OF Ichiro Suzuki is one hit away from becoming the sixth player in major-league history with at least 50 in a season at age 43 or older.

    PREDICTION: Marlins 8, Rockies 6
