Saturday's streaking and slumping starting pitchers

Streaking

R.A. Dickey, New York Mets (7-1, 3.06 ERA)

How good is Dickey’s knuckler right now? Good enough to strike out 21 batters over his last two starts, which was the first time a knuckleball pitcher has posted consecutive 10-strikeout outings since Phil Niekro did it in 1978. Dickey walked just one batter over that span and hasn’t allowed more than three runs in his last seven trips to the hill.

Cole Hamels, Philadelphia Phillies (8-1, 2.43 ERA)

If Hamels is going to be dealt before the trade deadline, the price tag is skyrocketing. The lefty did give up a couple of homers and four earned runs Monday against the Mets, but also struck out six while walking one in eight innings of work to win his eighth straight decision. He has walked more than two batters in only two of his 10 starts this season.

Slumping

Gavin Floyd, Chicago White Sox (4-5, 5.02 ERA)

Floyd picked up a win in his last start, but didn’t do much to deserve it. He was smacked for 10 hits and five earned runs while hitting three batters over five innings in a 12-6 Chicago victory against Cleveland. Manager Robin Ventura told reporters that his curveball was the main problem in that start. In his last three outings, the 6-foot-6 righty has allowed 28 hits and 21 runs, spanning over 14 2/3 innings.

Matt Garza, Chicago Cubs (2-3, 4.22 ERA)

Garza hasn’t picked up a win since puzzling the Phillies back on April 29. He gave up three homers and five earned runs in his last start after allowing two homers and seven earned runs in the start before that. Word out of the Windy City is that Garza could be available at the trade deadline for the right price.

Saturday’s betting notes: Tiger's charging at The Memorial

Weather to watch

Chicago Cubs at San Francisco Giants – 12 mph winds are expected to blow out to centerfield.

Who’s hot

NBA: Spurs are 18-8-3 ATS in their last 29 road games.

MLB: Cardinals are 9-2 in Lance Lynn’s last 11 starts.

NHL: Kings are 13-3 in their last 16 road games.

WNBA: Indiana Fever are 14-5 ATS in their last 19 home games.

Who’s not

NBA: The under is 2-8 in the Thunder's last 10 games as a favorite.

MLB: Brewers are 3-11 in Shaun Marcum’s last 14 starts.

NHL: The over is 0-5-1 in the last six meetings between the Devils and Kings.

WNBA: Atlanta Dream are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games overall.

Key stat

21 – The San Antonio Spurs’ 20-game winning streak came crashing down in Game 3’s blowout loss at Oklahoma City. A big part of the Spurs’ loss was the fact that they turned the ball over 21 times, while the Thunder have just 30 turnovers through three games in this series.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Ryan Braun, Milwaukee Brewers - Braun has been playing since the early days of the season with a tight right Achilles tendon, which flares up on occasion. One of those occasions was Thursday night, when Braun was withheld from the lineup for the series finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers, a game Milwaukee won 6-2. Keep an eye on his status for this weekend’s series with Pittsburgh. Braun is hitting .309 with 14 homers, 36 RBI, and 10 stolen bases.

Game of the day

San Antonio Spurs at Oklahoma City Thunder (-3.5, 202.5)

Notable quotable

"It's a little bit harder to play in this type of climate, but both teams are doing it, so it's a little bit of an even playing field out there. You look at some of the plays tonight, with pucks bouncing, not a lot of good opportunities." – Los Angeles Kings captain Dustin Brown on the poor ice conditions at the New Jersey Devils’ Prudential Center, which was also an issue in the Eastern Conference finals. The Devils are set around -110 for the second game of the Stanley Cup finals on Saturday evening.

Notes and tips

A two-hour rain delay didn’t bother Tiger Woods during his second round at The Memorial Friday. He played bogey-free on the front nine and finished 3-under par to sit tied for second place at 5-under heading into Saturday’s action. Rory Sabbatini is at the top of the leaderboard at 6-under, one stroke better than a three-player pack tied for second. Woods went into the tournament priced at 15-1 to win.

The New York Liberty are back on the court Saturday following a full week off. Before that, they played four games in a span of seven days, failing to win or cover in any of those contests. Liberty coach John Whisenant used the week as a sort of training camp, since the club didn’t have much time to prepare for the season with many of its players still fulfilling commitments overseas. The Liberty visit the Indiana Fever as 11-point underdogs Saturday.

The Oakland A's have activated center fielder Yoenis Cespedes from the disabled list, the team announced Friday. Cespedes will take the roster spot left open when pitcher Tyson Ross was optioned to Class AAA Sacramento on Thursday. The Cuban slugger, who signed a four-year, $36 million free-agent contract with the A's during the offseason, suffered a strained muscle on the back of his left hand last month. He was placed on the disabled list May 12. Cespedes was hitting .245 with five home runs and 21 RBI before the injury. He has not played in the majors since May 6.

Take: (901) ATLANTA BRAVES Reason: Atlanta has been impressive away from home with a winning road record. The Braves are 5-2 in their last 7 games as a road underdog. Brandon Beachy has been exceptional with a 5-3 record and a 1.77 ERA allowing just 43 hits in 66 innings. The team is 6-3 in his last nine starts and he faces a Washington offense that is one of the worst in baseball, 26th in runs scored and 22nd in on-base percentage. An excellent spot for the road dog, Play the Braves.

LA Dodgers at Colorado
Saturday, June 2nd, 4:10 PM ET

When the Dodgers send Aaron Harang to the mound against Juan Nicasio and the Rockies at Coors Field in Colorado Saturday afternoon Los Angeles will do so knowing Harang is in commanding KW form with 16 strikeouts and 3 walks in his last three starts. On the flip side Nicasio owns a 7.04 ERA at home and a 2.80 ERA away this season. With that we'll back the first place Dodgers as a dog here today. We recommend a 1-unit play on the Dodgers. Thank you and good luck as always.

Los Angeles +105 over NEW JERSEY

For the second straight game money is coming in on the Devils and that gives us another opportunity to take back a tag on the Kings. All L.A. has done this postseason is win 13 of 15 games and they’ve yet to lose on the road. They’ll play this game with no pressure whatsoever, as all the pressure is on the Devils to avoid traveling to California down 0-2. Remember, the Kings weren’t as sharp in game 1 as they had been in their previous playoff games and much of that can be attributed to their long eight-day layoff after knocking off the Coyotes on May 22. Despite the layoff, the Kings were certainly not outplayed in game 1 and you can expect them to be much sharper here. Marty Brodeur didn’t have to be sharp in game 1 but the first goal was a softie and he’s going to have to be very sharp tonight. Without trying to sound redundant and contrary to what the media reports, Brodeur is a big liability in net and he will be exposed in this series as such. The Devils are obviously a good team but for them, there will be no game with more pressure than this one because a loss here and it’s all over. The better team, the looser team, the superior goaltending and a price to boot easily gets our money. Play: Los Angeles +105 (Risking 2 units).

CHICAGO -1½ +127 over Seattle

The White Sox offense is running on all cylinders lately. Only Texas (167 runs) has scored more than Chicago’s 156 runs in the month of May. At home, the South Side owns a fine .779 OPS and have scored 8.6 runs per game since May 14 over eight games. The now-first-place White Sox swept Seattle in April, they took the opener last night by scoring seven more runs against King Felix and they’ve nine in a row. This is a team that can’t get to the park soon enough. One can only imagine what’s in store for Hector Noesi. In 59 innings, Noesi has a poor BB/K ratio of 20/34. He also has an unfavorable groundball/fly-ball split of 37%/46% to go along with an ERA over 5.00. He won’t be helped by Safeco here and is 0-3 on the road with an ERA of 6.67. Gavin Floyd goes for the Chisox but does it really matter who toes the rubber? We think not. Play: Chicago -1½ +127 (Risking 2 units).

DETROIT +107 over N.Y. Yankees

Baseball is a funny game and we look no further than Rick Porcello’s 2012 campaign for just how whacky it can get. Porcello comes in with a 3-4 record and a 5.21 ERA. Porcello has one win over the Royals but here’s the funny part. Porcello has two wins against the Chicago White Sox in which he’s thrown 14 innings and allowed two earned runs. That’s how good this guy can be and he has the skills to support it. His high ERA is a direct result of bad luck and his numbers are sure to improve. A 51% groundball rate and 15 walks in 57 innings does not line up to a 5.21 ERA. Porcello’s 68% strand rate has done him in but he’s had good success against the Yanks in the past with a .244 BAA and just one jack allowed in 86 AB’s against current Yankee hitters. Hiroki Kuroda is not benefitting from pitching at Chavez Ravine anymore, nor is he thriving against AL opposition. His strikeout rate has dipped dramatically, he’s 1-4 on the road with a 4.55 ERA with his only road win coming at pitcher-friendly Oakland where the A’s are hitting .210. Play: Detroit +107 (Risking 2 units).

3 UNIT PLAY

Oklahoma City/ San Antonio Under 202: Had the Under in game 3 and will come right back with it here. We know that both teams can score in the millions, but these teams also know how to play some good defense. The Spurs lost for the first time since April 11 in game 3 and they have played very well off a loss this year, especially defensively as they have allowed just 94.8 ppg off a loss.The Spurs have allowed 98.2 ppg on the road this year, but just 91.6 ppg on the road in the playoffs. The Thunder held the high flying Spurs to just 82 in game, and that isn't anything new in these playoffs. The Thunder have allowed 95.3 ppg at home this year, but in the playoffs they have allowed just 89 ppg, while just 1 of their 6 home playoff game have put up more than 201 points. Both teams did show a commitment to defense in game 3 and I expect more of the same in this one, as I see this one in the lower 190's.

Game: Boston at Toronto (1:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: Toronto +105 (moneyline)

The Boston Red Sox, after taking the opener in this series, have now duplicated the team's records at 27-25 on the season. That is good enough to have these teams tied for the basement in the rugged AL East. Kyle Drabek gets the ball for Toronto. He beat this Boston team back in April, allowing just a single run over 5.1 innings of work. The Red Sox used to dominate games in the AL East but that has changed dramatically recently as this team has fallen off. The Sox are just 16-33 in their last 49 played within the division. Drabek has been great pitching after a team loss, where the Jays are 12-4 in his last 16 in this spot. Play on Toronto.

NY Mets

3 Unit Play Take #906 New York Mets -105 over St. Louis (4:10pm est):

The least respected pitcher in all of baseball takes the hill here for the Mets today. R.A Dickey continues to shine as the Mets have won eight of his ten starts so far this season including his last five overall. He also has six straight quality starts to his credit and sports an ERA of just 2.09 during that time. He not only is frustrating opponents with his nasty knuckler, he is making them look downright bad along the way. Dickey has 29 strikeouts in his last three games while just allowing 2 walks to go with it. Keep in mind also his only start that wasn't of the quality variety this entire season was back on April 18th in a game that seen rain and drizzle throughout, causing Dickey not to be able to get a grip on the ball in that game and losing the effectiveness of his knuckleball. You take that lone start out of the equation and Dickey would be in the talk for a Cy Young these first two months of this 2012 season.

St. Louis comes in trying to shake off last night's ugly no-hit game as the Cards offense looks to be out of sync right now. Injuries continue to mount for this team as they come in losers of six of their last eight games overall. They go with Lance Lynn here in this one. Lynn got off to a nice start this season but seems to have come back down to earth a bit of late as now that more folks are seeing him pitch, the book on Lynn is out on how to best approach the big right-hander. His ERA in his last four starts is 4.32 and this came against an Atlanta offense that has been struggling, the Dodgers without Matt Kemp and the light hitting Padres.

Nice value here with the red hot Dickey against the ice cold Cardinals offense at this price. Take the New York Mets here in this one.

2 Unit Play. #909 Take Over 7 ½ +105 Pittsburgh at Milwaukee (7:10 p.m., Saturday June 2)

Last night the Pirates scored 8-runs against the Brewers and tonight again we should see one of the teams hit the 8 mark again. Both starters have had problems this year so tonight look for both NL Central teams try to move runs over quickly and maybe get to the bullpens early as well. Milwaukee is a perfect 5-0 O/U in their last 5 games as a favorite and the last 4 meetings between these two teams all 4 games went over the total.

2 Unit Play. #929 Take Under 7 ½ -115 Texas at Los Angeles Angels (10:05 p.m., Saturday June 2)

Two stud pitchers on the mound tonight and runs should be hard to get tonight in California. Last night's game went under the total and tonight's game will be the same. The Halos are 2-8 O/U against AL West teams and tonight this trend continues to cash.


ALLEN EASTMAN

3-Unit Play. Take #919 Oakland (+120) over Kansas City (2 p.m., Saturday, June 2)

The A's are on a terrible losing streak. But they should snap out of it today. Luke Hochevar is still struggling for the Royals. The Royals have lost his last four home starts and he is just 5-11 against the A.L. West. Brandon McCarthy has won four straight starts and has won four straight as an underdog. The A's get back on track today.

2-Unit Play. Take #930 L.A. Angels (+100) over Texas (10 p.m., Saturday, June 2)

The Angels are playing their best of the season. They had a nice comeback win last night and I think that will carry over to tonight's game. C.J. Wilson is facing his old team and right now the Rangers do not look sharp. They were blown out at home by Seattle and then they blew a lead last night to the Angels. The Angels are 5-2 in their last seven home games and they are 9-1 in their last 10 games overall.

Both starters have had problems this year so tonight look for both NL Central teams try to move runs over quickly and maybe get to the bullpens early as well. Milwaukee is a perfect 5-0 O/U in their last 5 games as a favorite and the last 4 meetings between these two teams all 4 games went over the total.

2 Unit Play. #929 Take Under 7 ½ -115 Texas at Los Angeles Angels (10:05 p.m., Saturday June 2)

Two stud pitchers on the mound tonight and runs should be hard to get tonight in California. Last night's game went under the total and tonight's game will be the same. The Halos are 2-8 O/U against AL West teams and tonight this trend continues to cash.

3-Unit Play. Take #919 Oakland (+120) over Kansas City (2 p.m., Saturday, June 2)

The A's are on a terrible losing streak. But they should snap out of it today. Luke Hochevar is still struggling for the Royals. The Royals have lost his last four home starts and he is just 5-11 against the A.L. West. Brandon McCarthy has won four straight starts and has won four straight as an underdog. The A's get back on track today.

2-Unit Play. Take #930 L.A. Angels (+100) over Texas (10 p.m., Saturday, June 2)

The Angels are playing their best of the season. They had a nice comeback win last night and I think that will carry over to tonight's game. C.J. Wilson is facing his old team and right now the Rangers do not look sharp. They were blown out at home by Seattle and then they blew a lead last night to the Angels. The Angels are 5-2 in their last seven home games and they are 9-1 in their last 10 games overall.

San Antonio Spurs vs. Oklahoma City Thunder

Well, we may have an epic series yet, as the Oklahoma City Thunder (56-22,
42-35-1 ATS) ended the 20-game winning streak of the San Antonio Spurs
(60-17, 49-24-4 ATS) in emphatic fashion with a 102-82 blowout victory in Game 3.
It should be noted however that the Thunder played like the team that had
all the incentive while trying to save their season, while the more content
Spurs played with absolutely no sense of urgency, even sitting the Big Three
from the middle of the third quarter onward. You can expect the San Antonio
team of the previous 20 games to show up on the road for Game 4 though,
which takes place on Saturday night from Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma
City, OK at 8:30 ET on TNT.

The 82 points that the Spurs scored was they fewest they have scored all
year, be it regular season or the playoffs, and they also committed a whopping
21 turnovers, which was the most in any playoff game by any team this
post-season. It was virtually apparent from the start that the Thunder would be
one step ahead of the Spurs on this night while playing in desperation mode,
as Oklahoma City's Thabo Sefolosha by himself recorded four steals in the
game's first three minutes! The Spurs ended up shooting 39.5 percent for the
game and they finished with just 24 points in the paint, which was half of
the 48.0 points per game in the paint that San Antonio averaged in the first
two games of this series. It was nearly impossible to find one thing positive
thing about the Spurs' performance on Thursday, other than the fact that
Tim Duncan's five blocked shots leave him with an NBA all-time record of 477
playoff blocks, breaking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's playoff record of 476.
Regardless, you can bet that the Spurs will come to play in Game 4, as the best
coach in the NBA in Gregg Popovich will make certain of it.

Now give the Thunder a lot of credit, as they played with a ton of energy
after getting schooled by the veteran Spurs in Game 2, and they made San
Antonio look more like an "old" team than a "veteran" team. Oklahoma City had a
very balanced attack with five players in double-figures. Kevin Durant led
the way as usual with 22 points, but Sefolosha set a personal playoff high
with 19 points and James Harden provided his usual instant offense off the
bench with 16 points. Russell Westbrook (10) and Serge Ibaka (14) were the
other two double-digit scorers and the defense also did its part obviously as
the Thunder played probably the most complete game in their young playoff
history since moving from Seattle. So now the big question after playing a
seemingly perfect game becomes can they do it again and hand a team that just had
a 20-game winning streak snapped a second straight loss?

The Spurs had been 10-1 straight up in the previous 11 head-to-head
meetings with the Thunder prior to Thursday's beatdown while going 8-3 against the
spread in those games, including going 4-1 both straight up and ATS here in
Oklahoma City. Also, the 'over' is now 10-4-1 in the last 15 meetings
despite Game 3 staying 'under' the total. Then again, it did take a season low by
the Spurs to get that 'under' accomplished as Oklahoma City did its part
offensively.

4-STAR Texas over LA ANGELS - CJ Wilson got the best of Texas last meeting. Now it's time for the Rangers to get to him. Look for Yu Darish to find his control here and get the best of this matchup.
Texas lost the series opener yesterday to LA, 4-2. The Angels had six hits in the win. The Rangers are 18-1 since April 22, 2011 as a favorite after a loss in which they allowed 6 or fewer hits for a net profit of $1570.

Texas meanwhile had eight hits but left six on base as a team while LA stranded five. The Rangers are 21-1 since April 27, 2011 when playing a night game as a favorite after a loss in which they had a higher team-left-on-base than their opponent as a favorite for a net profit of $1870.

LA's damage came late, with two runs in the sixth and seventh innings after trailing 2-0. The Angels are 4-13 since April 01, 2011 when playing a night game when they are off a win in which they scored in at most two separate innings and it is not the first game of a series for a net profit of $1282 when playing against.

That loss puts Texas on a rare three-game losing streak. The Angels are 5-18 since May 21, 2011 when playing a night game vs a team that has lost at least their last two games and it is not the first game of a series for a net profit of $1687 when playing against.

Wilson's last start vs. Texas, was a 4-2 win for LA on May 12. The Rangers are 14-1 since June 29, 2011 when playing a night game as a favorite when they lost the last time they faced this starting pitcher for a net profit of $1269.

SPORTSBOOK BREAKERS PREDICTION: Texas 6, LA ANGELES 3

4-STAR HOUSTON over Cincinnati - Wandy Rodriguez has been pitching really good lately but his last outing masks that fact. Despite 5 Ks and 0 walks, Rodriguez was done in by Coors Field and allowed seven runs. That's keeping this line down here and is good for you.

Rodriguez was done in by the long ball there, allowing two to the Rockies. The Astros are 5-1 since April 30, 2011 when Wandy Rodriguez starts after giving up 2 or more home runs and they lost in his previous start for a net profit of $525.

Rodriguez has been good in games expected to be tight in the midseason. The Astros are 13-4 since June 10, 2005 when Wandy Rodriguez starts within 20 cents of pickem in June for a net profit of $1010.

Cincinnati won yesterday's series opener, 4-1. They scored two runs in the top of the first and those proved to be enough. The Reds are 1-17 since April 10, 2011 on the road when they are off a win in which they never trailed in a night game for a net profit of $1664 when playing against. Mike Leake was strong for Cincinnati and as a team they allowed just five hits. The Reds are 5-15 since April 13, 2011 on the road after a win in which they allowed 6 or fewer hits for a net profit of $1089 when playing against. They only had six hits though but left just two men on base in the game. The Reds are 0-17 in database history between game 20 and 100 of the season with a total under 10 after a game where they left no more than two men on base as a team.

That equated to just six left on base individually. The Astros are 10-2 since April 16, 2011 when playing a night game as a dog after a loss in which their opponent left fewer than 10 men on base and it is not the first game of a series for a net profit of $1122.

SPORTSBOOK BREAKERS PREDICTION: HOUSTON 5, Cincinnati 3

4-STAR Seattle over CHICAGO - Some words of advice. Never lay a big number with a pitcher who is pitching terribly lately. That is Gavin Floyd here. The combined WHIP of his last three starts is 2.18. Meanwhile on the other side, Hector Noesi has now thrown three straight quality starts. Look for him to keep Seattle in the game and that to be enough with Seattle's offense having a nice day.

You also should not want to trust Gavin Floyd as a big favorite in general. The White Sox are 2-6 since April 16, 2011 when Gavin Floyd starts as a 140+ favorite for a net profit of $650 when playing against.

His last outing, he pitched to contact, and hard contact at that. He allowed five runs over five innings to Cleveland, throwing just 91 pitches to 27 batters. The White Sox are 0-4 since April 16, 2011 when Gavin Floyd starts as a home 140+ favorite when he is off a start in which he needed fewer than 3.5 pitches per batter for a net profit of $583 when playing against.

Last night, Chicago opened this series with a 7-4 win. The White Sox are 4-15 since April 13, 2011 at home after scoring 6+ runs in a night game for a net profit of $1444 when playing against.

SPORTSBOOK BREAKERS PREDICTION: Seattle 7, CHICAGO





4.5-STAR San Antonio over OKLAHOMA CITY - Some people worry about a letdown following a huge winning streak. That's usually not the case. Teams are a solid 24-18 ATS (30-12 SU) the game following a loss which broke a 12+-game winning streak. Being in the middle of the playoffs we worry about it even less. San Antonio knows it just needed one of two games here in OKC to take full command of the series and tonight's is the one they'll get.
San Antonio also plays well following the ending of a winning streak, usually on a much smaller scale. The Spurs are 9-0 ATS (8.3 ppg) since January 02, 2009 on the road with at least one day of rest off a loss to a team with a winning percentage under .770, that broke at least a three-game winning streak.

Oklahoma City won game 3, 102-82. San Antonio scored 19 points less than expected in the loss. The League is 0-13 ATS (-8.8 ppg) during the playoffs since May 12, 2007 when not favored by more than four points, after a double digit home win in which their DPA was minus 15 points or less.

Turnovers were the big factor of the game. San Antonio committed 21 while Oklahoma City had just seven. The Spurs are 8-0-1 ATS (6.8 ppg) since November 30, 2002 if not at a rest disadvantage, after a road loss in which they committed at least twenty turnovers.

Tim Duncan had 11 points in that game while Tony Parker and Stephen Jackson shared top honors with 16 each. The Spurs are 8-0 ATS (6.6 ppg) since January 18, 2012 after a loss in which Tim Duncan was not the Spurs' high scorer. Duncan also had only one assist while committing two turnovers. The Spurs are 7-0 ATS (8.0 ppg) since January 17, 2009 on the road after a loss on the road in which Tim Duncan had more turnovers than assists.

Manu Ginobili's struggles really sunk San Antonio. He went just 1-of-5 from the field. The Spurs are 6-0 ATS (7.1 ppg) since January 17, 2009 on the road after a loss on the road in which Manu Ginobili shot worse than 33% from the field.

No one for San Antonio played more than 28 minutes as they shut things down early in the blowout to plan for game four. Ginobili played 21 minutes. The Spurs are 6-0 ATS (10.5 ppg) since January 27, 2009 on the road with at least a day of rest after a loss on the road in which Manu Ginobili played fewer than 30 minutes.
