Sunday’s streaking and slumping starting pitchers

Streaking

Jon Niese, New York Mets (7-3, 3.35 ERA)

Niese has won three consecutive starts, allowing only four runs in 21 1/3 innings. The big lefty has pitched at least seven innings in four of his last five starts and walked more than one batter just once in his last six.

Chris Capuano, Los Angeles Dodgers (9-3, 2.62 ERA)

Capuano may not be heading to the All-Star Game, but he’s certainly pitching like he belongs. He has limited three of his last four opponents to just one run and has struck out 27 batters over that span. Capuano sits seventh in MLB starter money standings, having earned 7.65 units for his supporters.

Slumping

Roy Oswalt, Texas Rangers (2-1, 7.79 ERA)

Oswalt started OK with the Rangers, but has slipped since. He is coming off one of the worst outings of his entire career. The veteran allowed 11 runs (nine earned) in 4 2/3 innings during a loss to the White Sox. Before that he gave up five runs over six innings against Detroit. He has now yielded a whopping 26 hits over those two starts.

Chris Volstad, Chicago Cubs (0-7, 7.94 ERA)

It doesn’t look like almost two months in the minors did Volstad much good. In his first start since mid-May, he was smacked for six runs in just 4 1/3 innings in a loss at Atlanta. Volstad’s last win came way back on July 10, 2011.

Sunday night baseball: Yankees vs. Red Sox
By STEVE MERRIL

The final game before the All-Star break on Sunday Night as the Yankees host the Red Sox.

THE WALKING WOUNDED

The Yankees and Red Sox are arguably two of the most banged up teams in the league right now. New York's pitching staff is without three starters and two relievers including Mariano Rivera and CC Sabathia. The lineup is without Brett Gardner who has been known to provide a big hit. Meanwhile, Boston entered this series without Dustin Pedroia and John Lackey among others.

Dice-K Matsuzaka, Josh Beckett, and Clay Buchholz have all spent time on the disabled list this season.

SUPER NOVA

Ivan Nova has begun to find his form after a rough start to the season. The Yankees' starter has allowed three earned runs or less in six straight starts with the team winning four of those outings. Nova's been able to keep the walks down and the strikeouts up. He gave up two runs and seven hits in six innings his last start in Boston which came all the way back on April 20th.

Nova had made three previous starts against Boston allowing four runs in each of those games, but they came in 2010 and 2011.

SOUTHPAW SUCCESS

Jon Lester has had mixed results as of late. The southpaw has given up six hits or more in nine of his last 10 starts. The good thing for him is Boston has scored four runs or more in seven of those starts, so they've been able to get around his struggles.

Lester has also been good at reducing the damage for the most part, allowing three earned runs or less in six of those 10 starts. He will look for better success against a New York squad that shelled him last season on September 24th in New York. Lester gave up eight runs and eight hits in just over two innings of work.

CURRENT TRENDS

Under is 7-1 in NYY last 8 Sunday games
Yankees are 4-0 in Game 4 of a series
Red Sox are 26-12 in their last 38 Sunday games
Red Sox are 2-6 in Game 4 of a series

HITTERS TO WATCH

Derek Jeter is 17-for-49 vs. Lester
Alex Rodriguez is 6-for-34 vs. Lester
David Ortiz is 3-for-11 vs. Nova
Adrian Gonzalez is 0-for-8 vs. Nova

Sports Wagers

Miami +117 over ST. LOUIS Pinnacle (http://www.pinnaclesports.com)
Annibal Sanchez disappointed last month with a 7.06 ERA but a 56% strand rate says luck was also a significant factor and he's a been a far better pitcher on the road this season (2.96 ERA) than at home (5.20 ERA). Sanchez has a good strikeout rate, a heavily bias groundball profile and decent control. His skills are solid and improving and if not for an abnormally low strand % of 69% he'd have much better surface numbers, His under the hood numbers say a correction to the good is forthcoming. Joe Kelly has gotten his feet wet with five starts since being called up on June 10. He’s 1-1 and has eight walks and 16 K’s in 27 innings. His 3.29 ERA is significantly lower than his 4.55 xERA and with the Marlins playing much better of late (7-3 L10), we’ll go with the undervalued Sanchez. Play: Miami +117 (Risking 2 units).

Minnesota +178 over TEXAS Pinnacle (http://www.pinnaclesports.com)
Cole DeVries makes just his fifth start of the year and sixth appearance. In 23 innings, he’s allowed six jacks and against this host, that’s a big concern. Despite that, he has a respectable 3.91 ERA and BAA of .244. But this isn’t about Cole Devries. This is all about taking back a giant price against Roy Oswalt. We mentioned last time out that Oswalt is finished. He got extremely lucky in his first two starts but it caught up to him in his last one in Chicago where he allowed 13 hits and 11 runs in 4.2 innings. That outing was not unlike his first two. In 17.1 frames, covering just three starts, Oswalt has allowed 35 hits for a BAA of .422. He’s been batting practice out there in all three starts and Ron Washington is just the kind of manager that will keep throwing him out there until Oswalt refuses to embarrass himself further. Guys like Clayton Kershaw and C.C. Sabathia are -190 favorites. Guys like Roy Oswalt should never, ever be in that same price range. Play: Minnesota +178 (Risking 2 units).

N.Y. Yankees +111 over BOSTON Pinnacle (http://www.pinnaclesports.com)
The Yankees have won 10 of 15 on the road against lefties and they’re more familiar with Jon Lester than any collective group in the league. Current Yanks have faced Lester an incredible 285 times and they have a .267 career batting average and a .346 on base %. That’s when Lester was terrific and this year’s he’s been anything but. Lester comes in with a 5-5 record and a 4.33 ERA. At home, he’s 2-3 with a 5.60 ERA. Meanwhile, Ivan Nova’s skills are reaching elite status. As a groundball specialist last year, he relied on his defense and he had good results. This year, his strikeout rate is way up (90 in 104 IP) while maintaining that strong groundball profile. The kid is 9-3 and when he’s a dog pitching for the Yanks, there is nothing but profit potential. Play N.Y. Yankees +111 (Risking 2 units).

Hondo

The Pirates threw Hondo a rope last night, cutting the Giants down to size to trim the deficit to 1,510 pagliaronis.

Tonight, Mr. Aitch expects Ivan to be great against Jon Lester, aka Jonny Lager -- 10 units on the Yanks over the Sawx.
