Rating: Golden DollarGolden DollarGolden Dollar

#9 BELLE BREZING (ML=6/1)
#3 STARIA PEACH (ML=8/1)
#10 MOCKERY (ML=2/1)


BELLE BREZING - This filly is in first-rate condition right now. Ran third in the last race and comes back promptly. STARIA PEACH - This filly is in superb form right now. Ran second last time around the track and comes back rapidly. Filly is a few starts into a come back here. Should give a big race today. MOCKERY - Running on the turf today, you should review a horse's class. This one has the top number in the bunch. Filly had the second fastest workout of the day prepping for this. Ranked number 1 in earnings per start (EPS). Another notice that this equine has the class to win today.

Vulnerable Contenders: #8 FULL COUNT (ML=5/2), #1 DONA SPEY (ML=3/1), #2 FLASHLY (ML=7/2),

FULL COUNT - Last ran on June 17th at Arlington, finishing eighth. Not likely to improve off of that outing today. Going to have a hard go of it with all the other early speed in this contest. DONA SPEY - Would have to advance off that sixth place finish last time out to make an impact here. A runner should have more early speed at 1 1/16 miles to get me excited about her chances to win at 5 1/2 furlongs. FLASHLY - Don't think this entrant has what it takes to win today.



STRAIGHT WAGERS:
Putting our cash on #9 BELLE BREZING to win. Have to have odds of at least 4/1 or better though

# 7 BLUE TWISTED STEEL 5/2

# 3 MR. POPCORN 3/1

# 1 BEHOLD DE FLAME 5/1

BLUE TWISTED STEEL appears to be the bet in here. Displays the look of a money-making play, averaging a solid 58 speed figure which is one of the most respectable in this group of horses. Should wake up with Lasix change (with second time Lasix) today. Parsons has a solid win percent with horses running in dirt sprint races. MR. POPCORN - He has been running very well and the speed figures are among the most respectable in this group. This animal enters today's affair with second time Lasix. BEHOLD DE FLAME - Should come out very solid - I have liked the way this gelding has moved swiftly to the front end recently.

# 10 SHES SIZZLING 5/1

# 2 MISS ENERGY P 9/2

# 6 MILDRED DIDRICKSON 3/1

SHES SIZZLING could be the wager in here. Goodwin will almost certainly be able to get this filly to break out sharply for this event. She has been running quite well as of late while recording solid Equibase Speed Figures. This filly has posted some nice finishes in her last several efforts. MISS ENERGY P - Should come out strong - I have liked the way this filly has moved quickly to the front end recently. She must be given a shot given the very good speed numbers. MILDRED DIDRICKSON - Has to be used in the exotic wagers. She has posted very good figs under today's conditions and should fare well versus this group of animals.

#3 FIFTHOFBOURBON (ML=9/2)
#1 SHOTGUN BANDIT (ML=6/1)


FIFTHOFBOURBON - I just may give this one a good shot. Should improve off last race where he did run off the board, but was within five lengths at the end. SHOTGUN BANDIT - Specht adds Lasix to this one today. I'd look for a significant improvement.

Vulnerable Contenders: #6 BURNIE'S ON BOARD (ML=5/2), #2 DETANGLER (ML=3/1), #5 SOUGHT BAI (ML=5/1),

BURNIE'S ON BOARD - I normally try to beat this kind of chalk. Extended vacation and no drop in level of competition. 5/2 odds isn't enough for this participant when looking at the most recent efforts. DETANGLER - Would be taking an underlay on this horse at the probable odds of 3/1. SOUGHT BAI - A pattern of decreasing speed ratings 87/69/44 for this mount. No picnic to bet on this entrant in today's event. Make him show you something in a sprint race before you play him in a race of 5 1/2 furlongs.

New York Yankees vs. Toronto Blue Jays Preview and Predictions 07-08-2018 in MLB

MLB Previews 7th July 2018 by Gracenote
Yankees vs. Blue Jays Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 07/07/2018

Rogers Centre has been a black hole for the New York Yankees, who entered the weekend series at the Toronto Blue Jays with eight straight losing seasons north of the border. New York finally ended that streak with an 8-5 victory on Saturday and will go for a series win in Sunday afternoon's rubber match of the three-game set against the Blue Jays.

The Yankees rebounded from Friday's 6-2 loss as Brett Gardner and Aaron Judge each homered five pitches into Saturday's game, with Gardner also adding a two-run triple as New York improved to 8-4 overall versus Toronto and 5-3 at Rogers Centre. The Yankees got a scare when closer Aroldis Chapman had to leave Saturday's win after facing one batter, but manager Aaron Boone said it was a flare-up of the knee tendinitis that has been bothering the fireballing lefty. Kevin Pillar clubbed a two-run homer and Randal Grichuk and Aledmys Diaz added solo shots for the Blue Jays, who are vying for their first series win since a three-game home sweep of Washington from June 15-17. Justin Smoak had two more hits Saturday and is 14-for-41 with three homers, four doubles and 11 RBIs in 11 games versus New York this season.

TV: 1:07 p.m. ET, YES (New York), TVAS, SNET (Toronto)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Yankees RH Domingo Germán (2-4, 5.37 ERA) vs. Blue Jays LH Ryan Borucki (0-1, 2.77)

German is coming off another abbreviated start against Atlanta on Tuesday, although he escaped with a no-decision after allowing two homers and giving up three runs in 4 1/3 innings. He lasted only three innings in his previous start and was battered for six runs and nine hits in another no-decision at Tampa Bay. German gave up two runs in 1 2/3 innings versus Toronto on April 20.

Borucki faced the reigning world champions in his major-league debut and worked six solid innings, limiting Houston to two runs on six hits while overcoming four walks. The 24-year-old was even better last time out against Detroit, striking out eight while not walking a batter and also permitting two runs and six hits. Ten of Borucki's 11 strikeouts have come against right-handed batters.

WALK-OFFS

1. Yankees CF Aaron Hicks will sit out Sunday after leaving Saturday's game with due to cramping in his left hamstring.

2. Blue Jays DH Kendrys Morales is 6-for-31 against the Yankees in 2018.

3. Yankees RH Dellin Betances is riding a streak of 18 straight scoreless appearances.

PREDICTION: Yankees 6, Blue Jays 4

Rangers vs. Tigers Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 07/07/2018

The Detroit Tigers wasted little time jumping all over the Texas Rangers on Saturday to put themselves in a position to win the series and take some momentum onto the road for a tough trip to finish the first half. The Tigers will try to win their final home game before the All-Star break when they host the Rangers in the finale of the four-game series on Sunday.

Detroit, which goes into the break on a six-game trip through Tampa Bay and Houston beginning on Monday, dropped the opener to Texas on Thursday but scratched out a 3-1 victory on Friday and pounded out seven runs in the first inning on Saturday en route to a 7-2 triumph. Nicholas Castellanos continues to be a bright spot in an otherwise down season for the Tigers and homered to spark that first-inning rally, his fifth blast in the last 10 games. The Rangers are languishing in the American League West basement and are losers of five of their last six with trips to Boston and Baltimore still left on the road trip. Texas will try to avoid another loss behind right-hander Austin Bibens-Dirkx while Detroit counters with righty Michael Fulmer on Sunday .

TV: 1:10 p.m. ET, FS Southwest (Texas), FS Detroit

PITCHING MATCHUP: Rangers RH Austin Bibens-Dirkx (1-2, 4.40 ERA) vs. Tigers RH Michael Fulmer (3-7, 4.22)

Bibens-Dirkx had a string of two straight solid starts come to an end when he went up against the Houston Astros on Tuesday and was knocked around for five runs on nine hits and a pair of walks in six innings. The Oregon native served up a pair of home runs in that outing, doubling his total from the previous four turns. Bibens-Dirkx made one relief appearance against Detroit during his 2017 rookie campaign and yielded one hit in 4 2/3 scoreless frames.

Fulmer is winless in his last three starts and did not factor in the decision at the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday, when he was reached for three runs on seven hits and three walks in six innings. The 25-year-old has seen his name pop up in trade rumors and showed off his potential value to a contender with solid starts against the likes of Cleveland and Oakland in the last month. Fulmer struck out seven in 5 2/3 innings at Texas on May 7 but was reached for five runs and did not factor in the decision.

WALK-OFFS

1. Tigers RHP Shane Greene (shoulder) began throwing on Saturday and could return next week.

2. Rangers RH Shin-Soo Choo has reached base safely in each of the last 46 games, tying a franchise record set by Julio Franco.

3. Detroit CF Leonys Martin (hamstring) is not expected back before the All-Star break.

PREDICTION: Tigers 5, Rangers 3

Rays vs. Mets Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 07/07/2018

Aside from one swing from Jose Bautista, the New York Mets are not having much luck against the Tampa Bay Rays' pitching staff. The Mets will try to scrape together a few runs and pull off a rare series win when they host the Rays in the finale of a three-game interleague series on Sunday.

Bautista connected on a walk-off grand slam in Friday's 5-1 victory, but New York could not carry that momentum into Saturday and suffered a 3-0 loss while going 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position and watching Bautista strike out three times. The Mets have not won a series since sweeping a three-game set from the Arizona Diamondbacks at home from May 18-20 and dropped to 15-27 in their own park with Saturday's setback. The Rays aren't exactly lighting up the scoreboard with a total of four runs in their last three games but remain at .500 thanks to a pitching staff limiting opponents to a .224 batting average. Tampa Bay will try to keep the run of strong pitching performances going behind right-hander Nathan Eovaldi while New York gives righty Chris Flexen his first start of the season.

TV: 1:10 p.m. ET, FS Sun (Tampa Bay), SNY (New York)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Rays RH Nathan Eovaldi (2-3, 3.92 ERA) vs. Mets RH Chris Flexen (0-1, 10.80)

Eovaldi scattered eight hits across six innings at Miami on Monday and limited the damage to two runs without factoring in the decision. The Texas native received a total of four runs of support in his last four starts and owns one win in that span, when he struck out nine in six scoreless innings against Washington on June 26. Eovaldi made three of his seven starts against NL East opponents this season and is 1-1 with a 3.18 ERA in those outings.

Flexen made his first three appearances this season in relief and absorbed a loss in his last game, surrendering a run in one inning against the Los Angeles Dodgers on June 24. The 24-year-old went 4-6 with a 4.84 ERA in 14 games - 13 starts - for Triple-A Las Vegas between major-league stints this season. Flexen went 3-5 with a 7.78 ERA in nine starts for the Mets during his 2017 rookie campaign.

WALK-OFFS

1. Rays INF Willy Adames (illness) sat out Saturday and is day-to-day.

2. New York 3B Wilmer Flores hit safely in 12 of the last 13 games.

3. Tampa Bay RHP Chris Archer (abdominal) will return to the rotation on Monday for the first time since June 2.

PREDICTION: Rays 6, Mets 3

MLB Previews 7th July 2018 by Gracenote
Athletics vs. Indians Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 07/07/2018

The Oakland Athletics are making a bid to join the top teams in the American League prior to the All-Star break and turn their team into buyers instead of sellers at the end of the month. The Athletics are winners of nine of their last 11 and will try to earn their second series win over the Cleveland Indians in the last week when they visit for the rubber match of a three-game series on Sunday.

Oakland, which took two of three from the Indians last weekend at home, scored three runs in the eighth inning to tie the game on Saturday before earning a 6-3 victory in 11 innings. "You can't sleep on our offense," outfielder Stephen Piscotty, who hit a two-run homer in the 11th inning, told reporters. "We can vaporize a lead really quick. We know that, and that's why we keep grinding and keep playing." Cleveland had a five-game winning streak come to an end with Saturday's loss but still owns a 10 1/2-game lead over the Minnesota Twins in the American League Central. The Indians will send rookie Shane Bieber to the mound in the finale while the Athletics counter with lefty Brett Anderson.

TV: 1:10 p.m. ET, NBCS California (Oakland), STO (Cleveland)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Athletics LH Brett Anderson (0-2, 7.63 ERA) vs. Indians RH Shane Bieber (4-0, 2.97)

Anderson is returning to the rotation for the first time since May 18 after dealing with a shoulder strain. The veteran has not thrown more than 55 1/3 innings since 2015 while dealing with injuries and was knocked around for 25 hits in 15 1/3 frames before going down in May. Anderson made three of his four starts on the road before he was hurt and went 0-1 with a 4.38 ERA in those outings.

Bieber has yet to lose since making his major-league debut on May 31 and earned a win at Kansas City on Tuesday despite allowing four runs and nine hits in six innings at Kansas City. The 23-year-old surrendered a total of two runs over 18 2/3 innings in his previous three outings, earning the win in all three turns. Bieber is seeing the Athletics for the first time in his career and is 2-0 with a 0.71 ERA in two starts at home.

WALK-OFFS

1. Athletics 3B Matt Chapman went 4-for-4 on Saturday and recorded his first career stolen base.

2. Cleveland 1B/DH Edwin Encarnacion is 5-for-34 over his last 10 games.

3. Oakland placed OF Matt Joyce (back) on the 10-day DL on Saturday.

Marlins vs. Nationals Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 07/07/2018

Mark Reynolds was passed over by every other major league team this spring but is rewarding the Washington Nationals in record-setting ways. One day after going 5-for-5 with two home runs and 10 RBIs, the veteran first baseman concludes his memorable weekend Sunday when the Nationals aim for a sweep of their four-game series against the visiting Miami Marlins.

Reynolds crushed a walk-off home run in Friday's 3-2 victory before delivering the ultimate encore in Saturday's 18-4 victory, helping Washington post its 14th consecutive victory over Miami and its third in a row overall following a 5-17 slide. Reynolds' 10 RBIs tied Anthony Rendon's club record set last season and came two days after Trea Turner had eight RBIs in Thursday's series-opening 14-12 victory. Miami fell 19 games under .500 with Saturday's loss but hit back-to-back homers for the first time this season when Starlin Castro and J.T. Realmuto went deep in the fourth inning. The Marlins have had a dismal trip to the nation's capital, but utilityman Yadiel Rivera belted his first career homer in Saturday's contest and Castro is 13-for-24 during a six-game hitting streak.

TV: 1:35 p.m. ET, FS Florida (Miami), MASN (Washington)








PITCHING MATCHUP: Marlins RH Trevor Richards (2-5, 5.26 ERA) vs. Nationals RH Tanner Roark (3-10, 4.60)

Richards received a no-decision Tuesday against Tampa Bay after giving up four runs on nine hits over five innings. The 25-year-old rookie was recalled from Triple-A New Orleans on June 7 and has gone 2-3 with a 5.52 ERA and 24 strikeouts against eight walks over his last six starts. Richards, who is making his first career appearance against Washington, has posted a 4.44 ERA in five home starts compared to a 6.08 mark in six starts away from Marlins Park.

Roark lost his third straight start Tuesday, allowing nine runs on 10 hits across seven innings against Boston. The 31-year-old native of Illinois is 0-4 with an 8.44 ERA over his last four starts covering 21 1/3 innings. Martin Prado is 10-for-23 with a home run against Roark, who owns a 5-8 record and 3.99 ERA in 22 career games (16 starts) against Miami and has allowed two earned runs or fewer in six of his last seven starts against the Marlins.

1. Nationals closer Sean Doolittle was unavailable Saturday following a precautionary MRI on his foot but is not expected to miss any time.

2. Miami OF Brian Anderson was given a scheduled day off Saturday after starting the team's first 90 games.

3. Washington C Matt Wieters (hamstring) is set to conclude his minor-league rehab assignment with Double-A Harrisburg on Sunday and could be activated from the disabled list Monday.

Phillies vs. Pirates Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 07/08/2018

The Philadelphia Phillies are kings of the Keystone State, and they hope to add to their dominance over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. The Phillies aim to complete a season sweep of their intrastate rivalry and earn a seventh straight victory overall when they face the host Pirates in the finale of a three-game series.

The Phillies improved to a major league-best 19-7 in one-run games with a 3-2 victory Saturday, collecting their third such win over Pittsburgh this season to go along with three triumphs of four or more runs. Philadelphia has outscored the Pirates 38-12 in the previous five meetings in 2018. The Phillies have won eight of their last nine and remain tied with Atlanta atop the National League East. The Pirates have dropped five straight, allowing 51 runs during the skid.

TV: 1:35 p.m. ET, NBCS Philadelphia, AT&T SportsNet - Pittsburgh

PITCHING MATCHUP: Phillies RH Drew Anderson (2017: 0-0, 23.14 ERA) vs. Pirates RH Nick Kingham (2-4, 4.70)

Anderson will make his first big-league start and his first appearance of the season with the Phillies. The 24-year-old was tagged for seven runs (six earned) in 2 1/3 innings across two relief appearances last August. Anderson is 5-3 with a 4.15 ERA in 10 starts at Triple-A Lehigh Valley this season.

After winning his first two starts of the season, Kingham has lost four consecutive decisions, including three straight starts in which the offense has scored a total of one run. The 26-year-old was lit up for seven runs (five earned) in three-plus innings Monday at the Los Angeles Dodgers, and he allowed three home runs. Kingham is 1-1 with a 2.89 ERA in three home starts.

WALK-OFFS

1. Pirates C Francisco Cervelli, sidelined since June 21 due to a concussion, worked out Saturday and is expected to be activated before the series finale.

2. Phillies 2B Cesar Hernandez was held out of the lineup Saturday after fouling a ball off his foot Friday, but he was used as a pinch hitter and is day-to-day.

3. Pittsburgh on Saturday activated RHP Michael Feliz from the 10-day disabled list and called up RHP Alex McRae from Triple-A Indianapolis. RHP Dovydas Neverauskas and LHP Josh Smoker were optioned to Indianapolis.

Atlanta Braves vs. Milwaukee Brewers Preview and Predictions 07-08-2018 in MLB

Braves vs. Brewers Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 07/07/2018

The Atlanta Braves got exactly what they needed on Saturday and enter Sunday's series finale at the Milwaukee Brewers with a chance to finish a 10-game road trip with a winning record. The Braves opened their three-city tour with a sweep of St. Louis and a victory over the Yankees, only to lose their next four games before Anibal Sanchez authored a gem and Freddie Freeman busted out of a slump in a 5-1 victory that gives Atlanta a chance to go 6-4 on the trip.

Freeman fell a homer short of the cycle in finishing 3-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored, his first multi-hit game since June 22, ending a stretch during which the Atlanta first baseman had collected only seven hits in his previous 13 games. Sanchez stymied the Brewers through 6 2/3 innings, allowing only one run on two hits, and the Braves bullpen gave up just one hit over 2 1/3 scoreless innings as Milwaukee's streak of consecutive games with a homer ended at 12. Second baseman Brad Miller finished 1-for-3 with an RBI, giving him a .317 average with eight RBIs in 13 games since being traded from Tampa Bay. Infielder Jonathan Villar came off the bench Saturday and recorded a hit in his only at-bat, giving him four hits in nine at-bats in his past five games, but the Brewers' powerful offense finished with just four singles.

TV: 2:10 p.m. ET, TBS, FS South (Atlanta), FS Wisconsin (Milwaukee)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Braves LH Sean Newcomb (8-3, 3.10 ERA) vs. Brewers RH Junior Guerra (5-5, 2.87)

Newcomb seeks to return to form after the shortest start of his season Tuesday in New York, a 2 2/3-inning stint in which he gave up five runs with five walks in a loss to the Yankees. It marked just the fourth time in 17 starts the 25-year-old had surrendered more than three earned runs and set a season high in walks. Newcomb, who posted a 2.33 ERA while going 8-1 in his previous 15 starts, makes his first career appearance against Milwaukee.

Guerra looks to win his third consecutive start after holding Minnesota to two hits with eight strikeouts in five scoreless innings Tuesday. The 33-year-old has allowed three earned runs or fewer 11 times in 16 starts, but Milwaukee is averaging just 2.85 runs per game in his outings. Guerra, who is holding opponents to a .217 batting average, earned a no-decision in his only career appearance against the Braves in 2016.

WALK-OFFS

1. Milwaukee OF Ryan Braun was scratched from Saturday's starting lineup with right side tightness; he struck out as a pinch hitter to end the game.

2. Atlanta OF Ronald Acuna (left groin tightness) did not play Saturday, but is expected to be available Sunday.

3. Brewers OF Lorenzo Cain, out since June 26 with a left groin strain, could be activated from the disabled list for the series finale, according to published reports.

White Sox vs. Astros Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 07/07/2018

As great as the disparity is between the Houston Astros and Chicago White Sox in the win column, the gap between them when they have played each other this season has been even larger. The Astros attempt to complete a dominant season sweep of the White Sox on Sunday when they host the finale of a four-game set.

Houston (60-31) has made a mockery of Chicago (30-59) in six meetings this season, winning five by at least six runs and scoring 10 runs in four of those contests. Alex Bregman and Yuli Gurriel combined to go 5-for-9 with two homers, seven RBIs and five runs scored in Saturday's 12-6 victory, increasing the Astros' scoring margin over the White Sox in the season series to 54-15. Houston's fifth win in a row overall allowed it to expand its lead in the American League West to 3 1/2 games over Seattle and join Boston as the only 60-win teams in the majors. Chicago has dropped four in a row and eight of 10, but Avisail Garcia has been one of the team's few bright spots lately with eight home runs in his last 12 games - including a majors-best five in July.

TV: 2:10 p.m. ET, NBCS Chicago, AT&T SportsNet - Southwest (Houston)

PITCHING MATCHUP: White Sox RH Lucas Giolito (5-7, 6.93 ERA) vs. Astros LH Dallas Keuchel (5-8, 4.12)

Giolito surrendered two two-run shots before recording an out - and three homers in all - among the seven runs and eight hits he allowed over five innings in Tuesday's loss at Cincinnati. The 23-year-old, who has surrendered seven of his 16 home runs over his last four turns, has as many walks this season as strikeouts (54) over 89 2/3 frames. Giolito suffered through perhaps the worst outing of his 33-start major-league career April 21 against Houston, giving up nine runs on five hits and seven walks across only two innings.

Keuchel posted his third quality start in four tries to get the win Tuesday at Texas, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out seven over as many innings. Despite getting tagged for six runs across 5 1/3 frames in his previous outing, the 2015 AL Cy Young Award winner is 2-0 with a 2.96 ERA over his last four trips to the mound. Jose Abreu is 7-for-18 with two homers against Keuchel, who is 3-4 with a 3.81 ERA in eight starts versus Chicago.

WALK-OFFS

1. Gurriel (.432) and Bregman (.384) went a combined 3-for-4 with runners in scoring position on Saturday. The duo ranks first and second, respectively, in the AL in such situations this season.

2. Chicago has clubbed 14 homers in its last eight contests. Garcia and OF Daniel Palka have combined to hit nine of the last 12.

3. Houston owns a team batting average of .339 against the White Sox this season.

Orioles vs. Twins Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 07/07/2018

A pair of former teammates with the Tampa Bay Rays who are struggling mightily this season will square off on the mound when the Minnesota Twins go for a sweep of a four-game series against the visiting Baltimore Orioles on Sunday afternoon. Minnesota's Jake Odorizzi seeks his first win in two months when he opposes Baltimore's Alex Cobb.

After a 1-8 road trip that ended with six straight losses, all the Twins needed was a return home -- and a visit from the worst team in the majors -- to snap out of their rut and post their first three-game win streak in over a month. Bobby Wilson had two hits and three RBIs, including a tiebreaking two-run double, and Max Kepler homered for the second straight day as Minnesota erased an early 3-0 deficit in Saturday's 5-4 victory. Baltimore, which dropped to 40 games below .500 with its fifth consecutive loss and 12th defeat in 13 games, will be hoping to avert a four-game sweep in the Twin Cities for the first time in franchise history. Jonathan Schoop has hit safely in five straight games overall for the Orioles and is 11-for-32 with a homer and four doubles against Odorizzi.

TV: 2:10 p.m. ET, MASN2 (Baltimore), FS North (Minnesota)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Orioles RH Alex Cobb (2-10, 6.53 ERA) vs. Twins RH Jake Odorizzi (3-6, 4.57)

Cobb's winless drought reached five starts despite a quality start at Philadelphia on Tuesday, when he took the loss after giving up three runs on four hits over 6 2/3 innings. He had another strong effort in his previous road start when he tossed seven innings of one-run ball in a no-decision at Atlanta. Joe Mauer is 3-for-5 against Cobb, who is 2-0 with a 2.20 ERA in three starts versus the Twins.

Odorizzi is mired in an even longer drought than Cobb, giving up two runs over five innings in a loss at Milwaukee on Wednesday to remain winless since May 8. The 28-year-old is 0-4 during that 10-start stretch and has failed to get through six innings eight times in that span. Odorizzi is 5-4 against the Orioles, including a no-decision on Opening Day when he yielded two hits in six scoreless innings.

WALK-OFFS

1. Twins RH Fernando Rodney notched his 319th save to move into a tie with Todd Jones for 19th on the all-time saves.

2. Orioles DH Chris Davis hit a two-run homer Saturday but also set a franchise record with his 1,306th strikeout.

3. Kepler has five homers and 16 RBIs in 13 games against Baltimore.

Red Sox vs. Royals Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 07/08/2018

The Boston Red Sox took a bit longer than usual to get going in their last time out, but once the majors' best offense got rolling, the Kansas City Royals' league-worst pitching staff was powerless to do anything about it. The Red Sox, coming off their best offensive performance of the season, seek their second straight road series sweep Sunday when they meet the Royals.

Boston (major league-best 61-29) found itself in a tie game in the seventh inning with the worst home team in the majors Saturday when Mookie Betts and Andrew Benintendi sparked an 11-run outburst over the final three innings en route to a 15-4 triumph. All 11 Red Sox batters who played had at least one RBI, and only struggling Jackie Bradley Jr. failed to contribute to the 16-hit onslaught. Boston has piled up 25 runs and 31 hits through two games this weekend against Kansas City (25-63), which owns the worst staff ERA in baseball (5.34) and has lost 14 of its last 15 at home to fall to 11-34 at Kauffman Stadium. The Royals are one loss away from their third nine-game skid of the season and 38 games below .500 for the first time since ending the 2006 season 62-100.

TV: 2:15 p.m. ET, NESN (Boston), FS Kansas City

PITCHING MATCHUP: Red Sox RH Rick Porcello (10-3, 3.57 ERA) vs. Royals RH Jakob Junis (5-10, 5.13)

Porcello did a bit of everything in Monday's win at Washington, delivering a three-run double in the second inning in addition to pitching six frames of two-run ball to get the victory. The 2016 American League Cy Young Award winner was also sharp in his previous road outing, allowing one hit and one walk across seven innings to beat Minnesota. Salvador Perez (8-for-30) and Alex Gordon (11-for-46) have each homered twice against Porcello, who is 8-8 with a 4.71 ERA in 22 starts versus Kansas City.

Junis lost his seventh straight start Monday against Cleveland, surrendering career highs in runs (nine) and earned runs (eight) across 5 1/3 innings. The 25-year-old, who has given up at least five runs in four of his last five turns, has yielded 13 home runs and posted a 7.59 ERA during his losing streak. Junis permitted a home run to Mitch Moreland but settled for a no-decision in Boston on May 1, allowing two runs across six frames in his first career start versus the Red Sox.

WALK-OFFS

1. Benintendi went 2-for-2 with a home run and four walks Saturday, becoming the first Red Sox player since David Ortiz in 2007 to draw four free passes and hit a homer in the same game.

2. The Royals issued 13 free passes Saturday, one shy of the franchise record.

3. Betts is 9-for-15 with four solo homers, five RBIs and six runs scored in his last three games against Kansas City.

Reds vs. Cubs Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 07/08/2018

Early deficits haven't meant much to the Chicago Cubs, whose last eight victories have been comeback wins. The cardiac Cubs will take any type of win they can get when they host the Cincinnati Reds for the finale of a three-game series Sunday.

The Cubs erased a five-run deficit in an 8-7 win Saturday, snapping a five-game losing streak against the Reds to even the series. Chicago (50-36) has matched its high-water mark for the season at 14 games above .500 and pulled within 1 1/2 games of National League Central leader Milwaukee. The loss was just the fifth in 19 games for the Reds, who are 7-4 against Chicago this season. The Reds haven't won a series at Wrigley Field since July 4-6, 2016.

TV: 2:20 p.m. ET, FS Ohio (Cincinnati), WGN (Chicago)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Reds RH Luis Castillo (5-8, 5.53 ERA) vs. Cubs LH Jon Lester (11-2, 2.25)

Castillo's season has been disappointing this season, but he took a shutout in the seventh inning of a no-decision Monday against the Chicago White Sox. It was the 25-year-old's first quality start since May 24 and just his fifth in 18 outings this season. Castillo is 1-0 with a 2.16 ERA in three starts against the Cubs.

Lester won his seventh straight start when he allowed four runs (two earned) over five innings to beat Minnesota last Sunday. The 34-year-old has allowed two or fewer earned runs in six consecutive outings, posting a 1.46 ERA over that stretch. Lester is 6-1 with a 4.07 ERA in 14 starts against the Reds.

WALK-OFFS

1. Cubs 2B Javier Baez is 20-for-43 with 12 RBIs and 13 runs scored over his past 10 games and leads the team with 26 multi-hit games.

2. Reds 3B Eugenio Suarez is 14-for-38 during a 10-game hitting streak and leads the NL with 66 RBIs.

3. Cincinnati CF Billy Hamilton has 18 stolen bases at Wrigley Field, the most all-time by a Reds player.

The St. Louis Cardinals look to continue their successful road trip and recent strong performance against the San Francisco Giants when the teams wrap up a four-game series Sunday. The Cardinals have won six of their last eight against the Giants, outscoring San Francisco 48-23 over that span.

St. Louis won 3-2 on Saturday to improve to 4-2 on its nine-game trip, which will conclude with two games against the Chicago White Sox. The Giants have totaled only 10 runs while losing five of their last six games, hitting .167 over that stretch. Brandon Belt had three of the team's eight hits Saturday, including the only one that went for extra bases, and drove in both of San Francisco's runs. "I think we're seeing a lot of really good pitchers," Belt told reporters. "Sometimes it's hard to diagnose, but we faced some guys that threw to us really well. ... It's something we're having to grind through right now. But we know what this team is capable of, and we will get through it."

TV: 4:05 p.m. ET, FS Midwest (St. Louis), NBCS Bay Area (San Francisco)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Cardinals RH Jack Flaherty (3-4, 3.19 ERA) vs. Giants LH Madison Bumgarner (1-3, 2.58)

Flaherty has lost his last two starts, allowing eight runs over 10 innings after a dominant stretch in which he gave up just two runs in 18 1/3 frames across his previous three outings. The 22-year-old permitted four runs across six innings in a loss at Arizona on Tuesday. The Cardinals have totaled only four runs in Flaherty's last three starts.

Bumgarner posted his fourth straight quality start but took the loss Monday at Colorado, allowing three runs (two earned) over six-plus innings. The 28-year-old ace threw 15 scoreless frames across his previous two outings and has allowed only two runs in three home turns since coming off the disabled list. Bumgarner is 3-5 with a 4.38 ERA in eight starts against the Cardinals.

WALK-OFFS

1. St. Louis INF Jedd Gyorko is 8-for-19 with five extra-base hits and seven RBIs in his past five games with an at-bat.

2. Cardinals C Yadier Molina (right shoulder soreness) is expected to be back in the lineup after getting a day off Saturday.

3. The Giants placed 2B Joe Panik (strained groin) on the disabled list before Saturday's game and purchased the contract of INF Chase d'Arnaud from Triple-A Sacramento.

by Gracenote on 07/08/2018

One day after setting a franchise record for most runs in a game, the Arizona Diamondbacks look to carry over some of that offense Sunday when they conclude a four-game series against the visiting San Diego Padres. David Peralta had five hits and three RBIs on Saturday as the Diamondbacks scored 15 runs in the first four innings and cruised to a 20-5 victory.

Steven Souza belted his first home run as a member of the Diamondbacks while Ketel Marte, Alex Avila, Nick Ahmed and Paul Goldschmidt also homered and combined for 10 RBIs in the rout. Center fielder Jon Jay, who contributed two hits and scored three runs from the leadoff spot, has gone 7-for-15 over his last three games after recording one hit in 34 at-bats during the previous 10 contests. Arizona has won back-to-back games since losing the series opener to the rebuilding Padres, who have dropped 15 of their last 19 games and fallen 15 games under .500. The lone bright spot Saturday was the play of left fielder Wil Myers, who homered three times and is 13-for-35 with five multi-hit efforts over his last 10 games.

TV: 4:10 p.m. ET, FS San Diego, FS Arizona

PITCHING MATCHUP: Padres LH Clayton Richard (7-8, 4.46 ERA) vs. Diamondbacks RH Zack Greinke (9-5, 3.36)

Richard allowed five runs and walked a season-high five batters over six innings against Oakland on Tuesday, losing his second straight start following a four-game winning streak. The 24-year-old has posted a 3.86 ERA in eight starts at Petco Park compared to a 5.01 mark in 10 road outings. Chris Owings is 7-for-18 with five RBIs against Richard, who is 10-6 with a 4.14 ERA in 18 career starts versus Arizona -- including 4-4 with a 6.12 ERA in nine outings at Chase Field.

Greinke won his fourth consecutive outing Tuesday, allowing two runs on seven hits over 6 2/3 innings in a 4-2 victory over St. Louis. "He's on a great roll right now," manager Torey Lovullo told reporters. "I feel like he had his best slider of the year. He went to that pitch often, got a lot of swings and poor contact on that pitch." Freddy Galvis is 1-for-14 against Greinke, who owns a 10-2 record and 2.07 ERA in 19 career starts versus San Diego.

WALK-OFFS

1. San Diego is 2-34 when scoring two or fewer runs.

2. The Diamondbacks activated Avila from the disabled list prior to Saturday's game and optioned RHP Silvino Bracho to Triple-A Reno.

3. The Padres placed LHP Jose Castillo on the disabled list with a right hamstring strain and recalled RHP Kazuhisa Makita from Triple-A El Paso.

Rockies vs. Mariners Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 07/07/2018

The Colorado Rockies have historically struggled to build a strong starting rotation, which makes their current surge even more surprising. Winners of five straight, the Rockies will look for another strong outing from starter Antonio Senzatela on Sunday when they aim for a sweep of their three-game interleague series against the host Seattle Mariners.

Noel Cuevas went 3-for-4 with a three-run homer and Kyle Freeland tossed five innings of one-run ball in Saturday's 5-1 victory as the Rockies (46-43) won for the eighth time in their last nine contests and moved three games over .500. Freeland's outing continued a string of impressive performances for the Colorado starting rotation, which has posted a 1.21 ERA over the past eight games covering 52 innings. Seattle lost for just the third time in its last 12 contests despite the return of right fielder Mitch Haniger, who had two hits and reached base four times after missing the previous two games due to a bruised knee. Second baseman Dee Gordon was held out of the starting lineup with a minor hip injury but appeared as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning and should be available to start the series finale.

TV: 4:10 p.m. ET, AT&T SportsNet-Rocky Mountain (Colorado), ROOT Northwest (Seattle)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Rockies RH Antonio Senzatela (3-1, 4.44 ERA) vs. Mariners LH Wade LeBlanc (4-0, 3.19)

Senzatela dazzled in his first start after being recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque, allowing three hits over seven scoreless innings in an 8-1 win over San Francisco on Tuesday. "He was just great, pounding the zone, throwing strikes and getting ahead of guys," third baseman Nolan Arenado told reporters. "It was awesome." The 23-year-old native of Venezuela faced Seattle once last season, allowing four runs over five innings in a 5-0 loss on May 31, 2017.

Hours after signing a contract extension with the Mariners last Tuesday, LeBlanc allowed one run over seven frames in a 4-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. Seattle improved to 14-3 over the 33-year-old's last 17 starts, including 13-0 across his past 13 starts at Safeco Field. Carlos Gonzalez is 5-for-16 with two home runs against LeBlanc, who owns a 2-3 record and 6.53 ERA in nine career games (seven starts) versus Colorado.

WALK-OFFS

1. Colorado SS Trevor Story missed Saturday's game due to a bruised right foot, ending his streak of consecutive games played at 139.

2. Seattle optioned RHP Nick Rumbelow to Triple-A Tacoma and recalled OF John Andreoli from the Rainiers.

3. The Rockies placed Mike Dunn on the 10-day disabled list and recalled fellow LHP Jerry Vasto from Triple-A Albuquerque.

Dodgers vs. Angels Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 07/08/2018

While the beginning of the Los Angeles Dodgers' rebound from a 16-26 start coincides almost perfectly with the return of Justin Turner to the lineup, he hasn't been a huge part of their resurgence. The 2017 All-Star delivered a key hit in Saturday's victory, however, and he'll try to be an important part of what the Dodgers hope is their sixth win in seven tries Sunday when they visit the Los Angeles Angels in the rubber match of their three-game series.

Turner, who batted .322 with 71 RBIs last season, has yet to hit better than .268 or drive in more than 10 runs in any of the three months since returning from the broken wrist in spring training that cost him the first 40 games of 2018. The Dodgers lost their first two games with him back in the lineup just under two months ago but improved to 32-14 since May 16 on Saturday as his two-run single in the fifth inning broke open a scoreless game and was all the offense his team needed in a 3-1 victory. Mike Trout celebrated the seventh anniversary of his big-league promotion Saturday by going 3-for-4 with a home run, snapping out of a 2-for-20 funk over his previous six games. Despite the setback, the Angels have won seven of the last 11 meetings in the Freeway Series.

TV: 8:05 p.m. ET, ESPN

PITCHING MATCHUP: Dodgers LH Alex Wood (5-5, 3.84 ERA) vs. Angels LH Andrew Heaney (4-6, 3.94)

Wood has won each of his last four turns after doing so once in his first 13 starts and is coming off a six-inning effort Monday versus Pittsburgh in which he permitted one run over six innings. The 27-year-old North Carolina native has surrendered a homer in three consecutive outings but yielded a total of six earned runs during his winning streak. Wood will face the Angels for the first time and try to improve on his 3-6 record and 3.15 ERA in 18 interleague appearances (12 starts).

Heaney notched his second 10-strikeout performance of the season for naught in Tuesday's loss at Seattle, yielding three runs across seven innings. The Oklahoma State product has been masterful at home for the most part in 2018, going 4-2 with a 2.18 ERA while holding opponents to a .201 batting average. Those marks figure to get tested against the Dodgers, who reached Heaney for seven runs over 10 1/3 innings while beating him both times they faced him in 2015.

WALK-OFFS

1. Neither team has tallied more than five hits in either of the first two games of this series.

2. After going 8-for-12 against Pittsburgh in the previous series, Dodgers SS Chris Taylor is 0-for-8 with seven strikeouts this weekend.

3. Angels OF Justin Upton has only two home runs and five RBIs over his last 26 games after hitting 15 home runs and driving in 40 in his first 61 contests.

STREAKING AND SLUMPING STARTING PITCHERS

Streaking: Jon Lester, Chicago Cubs (11-2, 2.25 ERA, $1,075)

Lester continues to turn back the clock, putting himself in the mix for the National League Cy Young Award as we head closer to the All-Star Break. The 34-year-old left-hander has won seven consecutive starts while allowing more than two runs just once in that span; that incredible run has propelled him into second overall in total earnings among starting pitchers.

With the Cubs having gone an incredible 31-6 in Lester's previous 37 starts against teams with losing records, the Cubs are a terrific play on the -1.5 run line at +140.

Slumping: Michael Fulmer, Detroit Tigers (3-7, 4.22 ERA, $-652)

It has been a season to forget for Fulmer, who rose to prominence during his rookie season but has seen the Tigers win just five of his 17 starts. Detroit has gone just 1-6 in his previous seven starts, and Fulmer will be looking to rebound after allowing 10 runs over 19 2/3 innings in his previous three starts – all Tigers defeats, and all finishing below the total.

With Fulmer an incredible 1-10 O/U in 11 day-game starts in 2018, The Texas/Under parlay at +320 is rather appealing.

Play on: OVER 9 -109

1* Free Pick on A's/Indians OVER
I like the value here with the OVER in Sunday's MLB action that has the Indians hosting the A's. The OVER has been a great play in Cleveland's home games. The OVER is 27-13 in their last 40 home games and 10-2 when they are listed as a favorite of -150 to -200.
OVER is also 9-2-1 in the A's last 12 games against a team with a winning record and 9-3-1 in their last 13 when playing a game on the road against a team that's won more than 60% of their home games. Note that these two teams have already combined for 23 runs over the first two games of the series and that was with the Indians starting Carrasco and Kluber. Take the OVER!

Play on: UNDER 9 -116

Jack’s Free Pick Sunday: Dodgers/Angels UNDER 9
This is a pretty high total tonight between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Los Angeles Angels. They have combined for just 5 and 4 runs in the first two meetings in this series, and I expect another pitcher’s duel tonight. The UNDER is 5-1 in the last six meetings.
Alex Wood is really pitching well coming in. He is 3-0 with a 2.84 ERA and 1.053 WHIP in his last three starts, and 5-5 with a 3.94 ERA and 1.153 WHIP in 17 starts overall this season.
Andrew Heaney has put up similar numbers to Wood this year. He is 4-6 with a 3.94 ERA and 1.191 WHIP in 15 starts. But Heaney has been at his best at home, going 4-2 with a 2.18 ERA and 0.971 WHIP in seven home starts this season.
The Dodgers are 7-0 UNDER in road games after batting .200 or worse in a 3-game span this season. The UNDER is 21-8-1 in Dodgers last 30 games vs. a left-handed starter. The UNDER is 7-1-1 in Angels last nine games overall. The UNDER is 8-1-2 in Heaney’s last 11 starts vs. a team with a winning record. The UNDER is 15-3-3 in Angels last 21 interleague games. Bet the UNDER in this game Sunday.

Play - St. Louis Cardinals w/Flaherty (Game 959).
Edges - Cardinals: Flaherty 2.86 ERA with 1.01 WHIP away this season; and 25 Ks and 5 BBs last three starts… Giants: Bumgarner 1-7 last eight team starts during July. With that look for Flaherty to improve to 3-0 in his career team starts in day games this afternoon. We recommend a 1* play on St. Louis. Thank you and good luck as always

MLB | Phillies vs Pirates
Play on: Pirates -127 at pinnacle

Jameson Taillon was cruising for us yesterday before Philadelphia put together three straight two-out hits in a three-run seventh inning, lifting the visiting Phillies past the Pirates 3-2 for their sixth win in a row. They remain tied with the Braves atop the National League East and we will take another shot going against them here as the Pirates are in desperate need for a victory. They have lost five straight games and are now two games under .500 at home but they finally catch a break with the offense as they will be facing Drew Anderson who is making his first Major League start. He was here for a brief stint last season as he allowed six runs in 2.1 innings of relief work back in August. Nick Kingham counters for Pittsburgh and while he is coming off a rough outing, it came on the road against the red hot Dodgers. His last three starts have come on the road and he has been spot on at home with a 2.89 ERA and 0.91 WHIP in three starts. Here, we play against National League road teams that are averaging between 4.0 to 4.5 rpg and with a slugging percentage of .440 or better over their last 20 games going up against a starter with an ERA between 4.20 and 5.20. This situation is 30-15 (66.7 percent) over the last five seasons. Play (954) Pittsburgh Pirates

Play on: Cardinals +120 at MyBookie

St. Louis (Flaherty) @ San Francisco (Bumgarner) 4:05 PM ET
Game# 959-960
Play On: St. Louis +120
The Cardinals are coming off a 3-2 win over San Francisco on Saturday. St. Louis is an extremely profitable 12-1 this season following a game in which they allowed 3 runs or less.
San Francisco has scored a combined 10 runs while amassing just 30 hits over their last 6 games. Comparatively, St. Louis has scored 32 runs while pounding out 60 hits throughout their previous 6 games.
Madison Bumgarner has been absolutely dominating in recent starts for the Giants. However, since 2017, Bumgarner is a dismal 4-11 during his team starts when installed as a money line favorite of -110 or more like he will be on Sunday.
The Cardinals Jack Flaherty has a stellar 2.86 ERA and 1.01 WHIP during 7 road starts in 2018. Flaherty is also 2-0 this year in starts during day games while compiling an excellent 1.32 ERA and 0.66 WHIP. He will be backed by a Cardinals bullpen that has accumulated a sparkling 2.70 ERA and 0.96 WHIP over their last 7 games. Bet on St. Louis for my Sunday 7/8 MLB free pick of the day.

MLB | Dodgers vs Angels
Play on: Dodgers -117 at betonline

My free play is on the LA Dodgers at 8:05 ET. The Dodgers stumbled to a 16-26 start in 2018 but will enter tonight's finale of their three-game series with the LA Angels at 48-40. The Dodgers look for their sixth win in seven tries tonight in Anaheim, as they have closed within one game of the NL West-leading Arizona Diamondbacks (note: LA has won five straight NL West titles). The Angels jumped out of the gate 13-3 but unlike the Dodgers, who are 32-14 since May 16, the Angels are just 32-42 since their strong start and sit at .500 on the season at 45-45 (14 1/2 games back of the defending champion Astros in the AL West). The good news for the Angels going into tonight's game is that despite last night's 3-1 loss, they have won seven of the last 11 meetings in the Freeway Series.
Lefty Alex Wood (5-5, 3.84 ERA) will get the ball for the Dodgers and he's starting to show the form he delivered for most of the 2017 season, one in which he went 16-3 with a 2.72 ERA. Wood has won each of his last four starts, after being able to earn just ONE victory over his first 13 starts of 2018 (Dodgers went 6-7 in those starts). He is coming off a six-inning effort Monday vs Pittsburgh in which he permitted one run over six innings during a win. Wood has allowed only six ERs during his winning streak and will be facing the Angels for the first time in his career. He hopes to improve on his 3-6 record and 3.15 ERA in 18 interleague appearances (12 starts).
The Angels also send a lefty to the mound tonight on ESPN in Andrew Heaney (4-6, 3.94 ERA). Heaney lost 4-1 this past Tuesday in Seattle, although he allowed a modest three runs across seven innings. However, he notched his second 10-strikeout performance of the season, and for the most part, has been strong at home in 2018. He will take the mound tonight with a 4-2 record (2.18 ERA) in seven home starts, while holding opponents to a .201 batting average. Heaney was traded from the Miami Marlins to the Dodgers at the winter meetings Dec. 12, 2014, but a few hours later the Dodgers dealt him to the Angels for second baseman Howie Kendrick.
Heaney had two chances to beat the Dodgers during the 2015 season, but lost both games. He gave up two runs on four hits in 5.1 innings of a 3-1 loss at Dodger Stadium on Aug 1 of that season and five weeks later at Angel Stadium, gave up five runs on six hits in five innings of a 6-4 loss. That's seven runs allowed in just 10.1 innings, giving him a 6.10 ERA. Heaney's solid home numbers will be severely tested by a Dodgers lineup that is averaging 5.33 RPG on the road in 2018. Wood comes in with a 2.19 ERA during his four-game winning streak and I'll back the Dodgers to take the rubber match of this edition of the Freeway Series.
Good luck...Larry

Play on: UNDER 8½ -110

10* FREE MLB PICK (Under 8.5)
I'll take my chances here with the UNDER 8.5 in the series finale Sunday between the Mariners and Rockies. Colorado will send out Antonio Senzatela, who was great in his first start of 2018 on 7/3. Senzatela allowed just 3 hits and didn't walk a batter over 7 scoreless innings. He will be up against Seattle's Wade LeBlanc, who is 4-0 with a 2.89 ERA in 12 starts and has a 1.80 ERA and 0.900 WHIP in 7 home starts. Give me the UNDER 8.5!

MLB | A's vs Indians
Play on: A's +185 at YouWager

1* Free Sharp Play on A's +185
My money is on the A's to cash in as a big road dog against the Indians. Oakland is riding a wave of confidence after taking down Cleveland 6-3 on Saturday with the Indians starting their ace Kluber. The A's are now 9-2 in their las 11 and have gone 43-17 in their last 60 vs teams from the AL Central. Indians starter Shane Bieber is 4-0 with a 2.97 ERA, but is coming off a sub-par outing at KC and his 1.384 WHIP suggest he hasn't been quite as good as that ERA would lead you to believe. I just don't see that big of an edge on the mound here for the Indians to be this big of a favorite. Bet Oakland +185!

Play on: Mariners -140 at BMaker

#MLB FREE PICK FROM MIKE LUNDIN
The Colorado Rockies have won five straight and look to complete the sweep of this three-game series at Seattle Sunday afternoon.
Easier said than done though, as they'll be coming up against Wade LeBlanc (4-0, 3.19 ERA) who gave up just one run on three hits through seven innings of a 4-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels his last time out. The left-hander is 4-0 with a 2.45 ERA in nine apperances (seven starts) at home on the season and the Mariners have won each of his last 13 starts at Safeco. Rockies are 5-16 in their last 21 interleague road games vs. a left-handed starter.
Colorado turns to right-hander Antonio Senzatela (3-1, 4.44 ERA) who tossed seven scoreless innings of three-hit ball against San Francisco on July 3 in his first start since being recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque. That was home at Coors Field though, and Rockies are 1-5 in Senzatela's last 6 road starts.
Free pick on Seattle Mariners.
