New York Mets vs. Washington Nationals Preview and Predictions 08-01-2018 in MLB

Mets vs. Nationals Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 07/31/2018

Washington Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo opted to stay fairly quiet at the trade deadline, insisting "we believe in the players that we have." Hours later, those players backed up those words as the Nationals annihilated the visiting New York Mets to give them a chance to complete a two-game sweep of their National League East rivals on Wednesday afternoon.

Washington set a franchise record for runs and handed New York its worst loss in history in the 25-4 destruction in the series opener, opening a 13-0 lead through three innings as Daniel Murphy continue to torment his former team with a pair of three-run homers. "Tough loss. It's embarrassing. We've got to do better than that," said Mets manager Mickey Callaway, who will send Noah Syndergaard to the mound when he comes off the disabled list due to hand, foot and mouth disease. New York could use a solid effort from Syndergaard after infielder Jose Reyes was on the mound for the final inning Tuesday, getting tagged for six runs and five hits. Third baseman Anthony Rendon had three hits and four RBIs in the romp, and is 8-for-23 against Syndergaard, who is 0-2 with a 6.61 ERA in four career starts at Nationals Park.

TV: 12:05 p.m. ET, SNY (New York), MASN 2 (Washington)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Noah Syndergaard (6-1, 2.89 ERA) vs. Nationals LH Tommy Milone (0-0, 5.40)

Syndergaard beat the Nationals in his return from a seven-week stint on the disabled list due to a ligament injury in his index finger, giving up one run on seven hits over five innings. He also earned the win with five innings of one-run ball against the Yankees in his next start on July 20 before heading back to the DL. Syndergaard has made 11 career starts against Washington, posting a 3-4 record and 3.38 ERA.

Milone made his season debut at Miami and looked like he might not make it through the first inning after giving up three runs, but he followed that up with four scoreless frames to earn his first win since April 14, 2017. The 31-year-old veteran made 11 appearances (five starts) for the Mets last year, posting an 0-3 record and bloated 8.56 ERA. Milone has made two starts against New York, going 1-0 with a 4.50 ERA.

WALK-OFFS

1. Murphy is batting .390 with 11 homers and 43 RBIs in 43 games versus the Mets since the start of the 2016 season.

2. Mets INF Wilmer Flores left Tuesday's game in the first inning due to dizziness and dehydration.

3. 1B Ryan Zimmerman surpassed Tim Wallach (1,694) as the all-time hits leader in Expos/Nationals franchise history with 1,696.

PREDICTION: Mets 4, Nationals 3

Orioles vs. Yankees Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 07/31/2018

The New York Yankees look to tune up for their pivotal four-game series against a power-packed Boston club when they vie for an abbreviated two-game sweep of the depleted Baltimore Orioles (32-75) in the Bronx on Wednesday afternoon. The Yankees (68-37) have sharpened up for their upcoming set with the Red Sox by erupting for 29 runs while winning four of their last five contests.

Rookie Miguel Andujar belted a three-run homer in Tuesday's 6-3 triumph in the series opener for New York, which resides five games behind American League East-leading Boston with their four-game set looming at Fenway Park. Andujar, who is 10-for-36 with two homers, nine RBIs and six runs scored versus Baltimore this season, aims to continue his torrid stretch after going 29-for-88 with eight RBIs and 13 runs scored in July. While the Yankees improved to 31 games over .500 for the first time since the 2011 season, the Orioles' horrific campaign added another blemish as they were limited to just one inning of offense after erupting for 37 runs in their previous three games. Jace Peterson had a two-run double and scored on Andujar's error in the eighth inning, although he is 0-for-6 with two strikeouts in his career versus Wednesday starter Sonny Gray.

TV: 1:05 p.m. ET, MLB Network, MASN (Baltimore), YES (New York)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Orioles RH Alex Cobb (2-14, 6.08 ERA) vs. Yankees RH Sonny Gray (8-7, 5.08)

Cobb's disastrous season continued on Thursday as he lost his fifth straight start and fell to 0-7 with a bloated 5.96 ERA in his last nine trips to the mound after yielding four runs in six innings of a 4-3 setback to his former team, Tampa Bay. Despite his latest loss, the 30-year-old admitted to feeling "better each time out, so just keep following that path and hopefully the tide will turn." Giancarlo Stanton (1-for-8, three strikeouts) has struggled versus Cobb, who owns a 6-4 mark with a 4.26 ERA in 14 career encounters with New York.

Gray won his third straight start after scattering three hits over five scoreless innings in a 7-2 victory versus Kansas City on Thursday, but saw his outing cut short after getting struck on the right thumb by a comebacker. X-rays were negative for the 28-year-old, who -- like most teams in the majors -- has manhandled Baltimore this season. Gray improved to 3-0 with a 2.00 ERA while limiting the Orioles to a .169 batting average in three starts after striking out eight and permitting three hits over six frames in a 9-0 romp on July 11.

WALK-OFFS

1. New York SS Didi Gregorius is 16-for-40 with 12 runs scored versus Baltimore this season.

2. The Orioles acquired Jonathan Villar from Milwaukee in exchange for fellow 2B Jonathan Schoop prior to Tuesday's deadline while sending RHPs Kevin Gausman and Darren O'Day to Atlanta for four prospects and international signing bonus allotment.

3. Yankees LHP J.A. Happ, who is slated to start Saturday's game versus the Red Sox, was sent to a local hospital Tuesday afternoon and was diagnosed with a "mild" case of hand, foot and mouth disease, according to general manager Brian Cashman.

PREDICTION: Yankees 7, Orioles 2

Reds vs. Tigers Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 07/31/2018

The Detroit Tigers have alternated losses and wins in 10 games since returning from the All-Star break, but they have a chance to post back-to-back victories for the first time since July 6-7 when they wrap up a two-game series against the visiting Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday afternoon. Detroit won the series opener 2-1 to improve to 2-9 in interleague play.

The Tigers made only one trade at Tuesday's deadline, sending outfielder Leonys Martin to Cleveland in exchange for a pair of prospects. Niko Goodrum homered and Mike Gerber made his first major-league hit a memorable one with an RBI double that stood up as the game-winner Tuesday night. Despite eight strong innings from Homer Bailey, Cincinnati had its three-game winning streak halted and lost for just the fourth time in 14 interleague matchups. Eugenio Suarez drove in the lone run for the Reds in Tuesday's loss for his 10th RBI in eight games, leaving him one shy of matching last season's career high of 82.

TV: 1:10 p.m. ET, FS Ohio (Cincinnati), FS Detroit

PITCHING MATCHUP: Reds RH Sal Romano (6-8, 5.04 ERA) vs. Tigers RH Mike Fiers (7-6, 3.54)

Romano worked six strong innings against St. Louis in his last start, earning the win by permitting two runs on seven hits while striking out five. He followed that up with a scoreless relief stint versus Philadelphia three days later, the second time in his last three appearances he pitched out of the bullpen. Romano tossed a gem against the Tigers on June 19, yielding four walks over seven scoreless innings.

Although he did not factor in the decision, Fiers recorded his sixth consecutive quality start last time out by giving up three runs on five hits -- including two homers -- over six innings. He is only 2-2 in that span despite allowing a combined nine runs while yielding one or less on four occasions. Billy Hamilton is hitless in 10 at-bats against Fiers, who is 5-2 with a 2.85 ERA in 11 home starts this season.

WALK-OFFS

1. Reds 1B Joey Votto is 6-for-12 in his last three games and ended an 10-game extra-base hit drought on Tuesday.

2. Tigers RF Nick Castellanos is 1-for-19 over the last five games.

3. Detroit acquired RH Kyle Dowdy and INF Willi Castro from the Indians in the trade for Martin.

PREDICTION: Tigers 3, Reds 2

Indians vs. Twins Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 08/01/2018

Jose Ramirez is starting to warm up again after a brief slump and the All-Star third baseman looks to finish off a torrid series when his Cleveland Indians visit the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday afternoon. Ramirez was 0-for-16 during a six-game stretch before going 5-for-8 with two homers and four RBIs in the first two contests in the series as the Indians evened the set with a 6-2 triumph Tuesday.

Greg Allen went 3-for-4 with three runs scored in Tuesday's win, but was sent to Triple-A Columbus following the game to make room on the roster after Cleveland acquired center fielder Leonys Martin from Detroit at the trade deadline. Surging Carlos Carrasco looks for his fifth straight win when he takes the mound in the rubber match for the Indians and Minnesota counters with left-hander Adalberto Mejia. The Twins, who sit nine games behind first-place Cleveland in the American League Central, made two trades for prospects on Monday and dealt 2015 All-Star second baseman Brian Dozier to the Los Angeles Dodgers for infielder Logan Forsythe and a pair of minor leaguers Tuesday. Minnesota's top hitter, Eddie Rosario, needs to get on track again after going 1-for-16 in his last four games - 0-for-8 in the series after belting six homers in the first nine contests against the Indians this year.

TV: 1:10 p.m. ET, Facebook Watch

PITCHING MATCHUP: Indians RH Carlos Carrasco (12-5, 3.89 ERA) vs. Twins LH Adalberto Mejia (1-0, 3.65)

Carrasco has won four straight decisions, including a one-inning relief stint July 15 against the New York Yankees in a 5-2 triumph. The 31-year-old Venezuelan has allowed seven earned runs with 32 strikeouts over 24 1/3 innings across his last five appearances. Joe Mauer is 13-for-32 with four doubles and a homer versus Carrasco, who is 5-8 with a 4.29 ERA in 20 career outings (17 starts) against the Twins.

Mejia makes his third start in the majors this season after limiting Boston to one hit on three innings of relief Sunday afternoon. The 25-year-old Dominican Republic native permitted one run on eight hits and two walks over 5 1/3 innings to get the win in his last start July 23 against Toronto. Rajai Davis is 3-for-3 with a double versus Mejia, who is 1-2 with a 2.70 ERA in three career games against Cleveland.

WALK-OFFS

1. Minnesota CF Byron Buxton, out since May 29, suffered a setback in his rehab from a wrist injury Monday and will be re-evaluated.

2. Cleveland LHP Brad Hand allowed two hits over 4 1/3 innings in the last four outings after giving up a run in his Indians debut.

3. Twins RHP Addison Reed gave up one hit in a scoreless frame Tuesday after missing three weeks with an elbow injury.

PREDICTION: Indians 6, Twins 2

Toronto Blue Jays vs. Oakland Athletics Preview and Predictions 08-01-2018 in MLB

MLB Previews 1st August 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 08/01/2018

The Oakland Athletics have been taking out their frustrations on the Toronto Blue Jays this week and look to complete a three-game sweep when they host the finale on Wednesday afternoon. Oakland carried a six-game winning streak into Colorado last weekend but scored a total of four runs while being swept of the three-game set.

The Athletics have bounced back, outscoring Toronto 16-3 while winning the first two contests of the series to start their eight-game string at home, where they've won four in a row. Khris Davis belted his major league-leading eighth home run since the All-Star break as he went 3-for-5 with two RBIs in Tuesday's 6-2 victory. Justin Smoak homered and Kendrys Morales recorded two singles and an RBI as the Blue Jays fell to 2-3 on their 10-game road excursion. Smoak is riding a five-game hitting streak during which he has gone 8-for-27 after ending his 11-game home run drought.

TV: 3:35 p.m. ET, MLB Network, Sportsnet (Toronto)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Blue Jays RH Marcus Stroman (4-7, 5.20 ERA) vs. Athletics LH Sean Manaea (9-7, 3.46)

Stroman has won three of his last four starts, including a triumph over the White Sox in Chicago on Friday in which he gave up two runs and seven hits over 6 2/3 innings. The 27-year-old New Yorker has allowed fewer than three runs in each of his four victories this season, all of which have come over his last six outings. Stroman has made three career starts against Oakland without recording a decision as he yielded 10 runs - nine earned - in 16 1/3 frames.

Manaea had his nine-start unbeaten streak come to an end Friday at Colorado, where he surrendered three runs and a season-high nine hits in five innings en route to his first loss since May 30. The outing was the 10th straight in which the 26-year-old native of Indiana gave up fewer than four runs and second in a row in which he did not issue a walk. Manaea is 1-0 with a 4.30 ERA in four career appearances (three starts) against the Blue Jays - including a no-decision at Toronto on May 19, when he yielded four runs on five hits and three walks over five innings.

WALK-OFFS

1. Blue Jays INF Lourdes Gurriel Jr. was diagnosed with sprains of his left knee and ankle on Tuesday and is expected to miss 2-6 weeks.

2. Oakland manager Bob Melvin recorded his 600th victory with the club on Saturday.

3. Toronto recalled OF Darnell Sweeney and RHP Brandon Cumpton from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday after trading RHP John Axford to the Los Angeles Dodgers and LHP Aaron Loup to Philadelphia - each for a minor leaguer.

Astros vs. Mariners Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 08/01/2018

Less than 24 hours after halting their season-worst five-game skid, the Houston Astros look to win the series when they visit the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday afternoon for the rubber match of their three-game set. Houston posted a 5-2 victory on Tuesday to end its slide and increase its lead over Seattle in the American League West to four games.

The Astros collected 15 hits on Tuesday, with Josh Reddick (homer, three RBIs) and Alex Bregman each going 3-for-5 to highlight the attack. Evan Gattis slugged a two-run homer to finish July with six blasts - the third straight month in which he has belted six or more shots. Seattle has dropped nine of its last 14 games and scored only four runs in the series despite winning Monday's opener. All-Star Jean Segura recorded his first multi-hit performance since July 7 on Friday as he went 2-for-4 with a home run.

TV: 4:10 p.m. ET, AT&T SportsNet-Southwest (Houston), ROOT Northwest (Seattle)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Astros LH Dallas Keuchel (8-9, 3.60 ERA) vs. Mariners LH Wade LeBlanc (6-1, 3.51)

Keuchel lost to Texas in his last turn after winning four consecutive starts and five straight decisions. The 30-year-old gave up three runs and six hits over five innings versus the Rangers after allowing just three runs over 27 2/3 frames during the four-start winning streak. Keuchel was roughed up by Seattle for seven runs and seven hits in 6 2/3 innings on June 5 to fall to 0-2 with a 5.52 ERA in two starts versus the Mariners this year and 8-7 with a 3.07 ERA in 17 career appearances (16 starts).

Seattle is 11-5 in LeBlanc's starts this season as the veteran routinely keeps the club in games before departing. The 33-year-old did not factor in the decision in his last turn, when he allowed three runs and five hits over six innings against the Los Angeles Angels. LeBlanc yielded three runs and seven hits in four frames of a no-decision against the Astros on June 6 and has posted a 5.32 ERA in seven career appearances (three starts).

WALK-OFFS

1. Mariners DH Nelson Cruz, who is 12-for-36 with four homers versus Keuchel, went deep just four times last month after hitting 11 homers in June.

2. Houston OF George Springer (shoulder) departed Tuesday's game in the second inning and told reporters afterward that the plan is to see how it feels Wednesday before making a decision on his availability.

3. Seattle acquired CF Cameron Maybin from Miami for INF Bryson Brigman and international bonus pool money while placing LHP Roenis Elias (triceps) on the 10-day disabled list.

Cubs vs. Pirates Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 07/31/2018

The Pittsburgh Pirates made a big splash at the trading deadline in hopes of making more waves in the National League Central race. The Pirates will try to trim another game off their deficit when they wrap up a brief two-game set against the visiting Chicago Cubs on Wednesday.


Pittsburgh held on for a 5-4 win in the series opener Tuesday, as Francisco Cervelli and Gregory Polanco homered and Chicago's Addison Russell was thrown out trying to stretch a double into a triple with no outs in the ninth. The Pirates, who have won 16 of their last 20 to get within six games of the first-place Cubs, were active in the trade market, landing a potential ace in Chris Archer from Tampa Bay and adding reliever Keone Kela from Texas. Veteran left-hander Cole Hamels will make his Cubs debut and look to build on a solid record at PNC Park, where he is 1-1 with a 1.22 ERA in five career starts. Hamels is one of three additions to the pitching staff ahead of the non-waiver trade deadline for the Cubs, who also picked up reliever Brandon Kintzler from Washington on Tuesday.

TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, MLB Network, WGN (Chicago), AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh


PITCHING MATCHUP: Cubs LH Cole Hamels (5-9, 4.72 ERA) vs. Pirates RH Nick Kingham (5-5, 4.80)

Hamels gets a chance to hit the reset button on his 2018 campaign with his trade to the Cubs. The 34-year-old has not recorded a quality start in his last five outings, posting a whopping 10.23 ERA over that span, but that followed a stretch in which he had six quality starts in eight outings. Hamels is 3-3 with a 2.93 ERA in 10 starts against the Pirates, but he hasn't faced them since 2016.

Kingham had his three-start winning streak snapped Thursday against the New York Mets, who tagged him for six runs over three-plus innings. The 26-year-old rookie struggled with his command last time out, issuing a season-high four walks and working behind in the count throughout the brief outing. Kingham is 0-1 against the Cubs despite limiting them to five runs over 12 innings across two starts.


WALK-OFFS

1. Cubs 2B Javier Baez has recorded at least three hits in a game 10 times this season.

2. Pirates SS Jordy Mercer is 10-for-28 during a nine-game hitting streak.

3. Pittsburgh 3B David Freese is 16-for-41 with 12 RBIs over his past 15 games (11 starts).

Angels vs. Rays Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 07/31/2018

The Tampa Bay Rays fell victim to three straight offensive explosions before unleashing one of their own in the series opener against the Los Angeles Angels. Fueled by a seven-run fourth inning, the Rays (54-53) vie for a series victory over the visiting Angels (54-54) on Wednesday in the second contest of a three-game set.

Carlos Gomez capped the fourth-inning uprising with a two-run single for his second hit of the frame for Tampa Bay, which had been outscored 37-12 by lowly Baltimore heading into the series. Tommy Pham, who was somewhat of a surprise trade deadline acquisition given the Rays' standing, is expected to be in the lineup for Wednesday's tilt, manager Kevin Cash announced. Mike Trout joined exclusive company by going deep on Tuesday to become just the second major league player (Willie Mays) to hit 30 homers and steal 20 bases in a season three times before the age of 26. Trout is 9-for-22 with four homers, six RBIs and nine runs scored during his six-game hitting streak.

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, FS West (Los Angeles), FS Sun (Tampa Bay)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Angels RH Nick Tropeano (4-5, 4.82 ERA) vs. Rays RH Tyler Glasnow (1-2, 4.34)

Tropeano overcame five solo homers to strike out seven in 6 1/3 innings on Thursday in a 12-8 victory over the Chicago White Sox. The 27-year-old was taken deep twice against Tampa Bay on May 18 as he fell to 0-2 with a 6.23 ERA in three career starts versus the club after permitting four runs in 2 2/3 innings of an 8-3 setback. Daniel Robertson went deep in that contest and is 2-for-2 versus Tropeano, who has limited the rest of the current crop of Rays to going just 2-for-9 with three strikeouts.

Glasnow was acquired along with outfielder Austin Meadows from Pittsburgh in exchange for right-hander Chris Archer prior to Tuesday's deadline. The Rays are bidding to have the 24-year-old Glasnow work two to four innings before the returning Jake Faria will come on in relief, per the Tampa Bay Times. Glasnow, who has made all 34 of his appearances in relief this season, walked four in three innings of a no-decision versus the New York Mets on Thursday in his last outing.

WALK-OFFS

1. Tampa Bay C Michael Perez is 7-for-14 with two doubles and two runs scored in four games.

2. Los Angeles OF Kole Calhoun has 18 hits -- including seven homers -- in his last 13 games.

3. Rays 3B Matt Duffy had three hits in the opener to give him five singles in the last three contests after going 1-for-20 in his previous five.

Marlins vs. Braves Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 08/01/2018

The Atlanta Braves scored only seven runs in losing four games in a row last week, but enter Wednesday's series finale at home against the Miami Marlins riding a three-game winning streak that has been sparked by their offense. The Braves pounded out 19 hits Tuesday in battering the Marlins 11-6 and, after hitting .175 with just seven extra-base hits during their four-game skid, are batting .333 during the winning streak with 20 runs scored and 33 hits.

It is pretty clear rookie left fielder Ronald Acuna has found his home in the leadoff spot, finishing Tuesday 3-for-5 with a homer to raise his average to .302 with four homers and nine runs scored since moving to the top of the order July 15. Atlanta remained one-half game out of first place in the National League East entering Wednesday before embarking on an eight-game road trip. The Marlins have dropped six of their past nine games and their pitching is struggling, giving up six runs or more five times and posting a 6.39 ERA in that span with 12 homers allowed. Center fielder Magneuris Sierra, who went 1-for-10 in his first three games after being promoted, has hits in three of his past four games and finished with a career high-tying three hits Tuesday.

TV: 7:35 p.m. ET, FS Florida (Miami), FS Southeast (Atlanta)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Marlins RH Pablo Lopez (2-2, 5.34 ERA) vs. Braves RH Anibal Sanchez (5-3, 3.00)

Lopez won his major-league debut June 30 with six impressive innings (two runs allowed on six hits) against the New York Mets, but has allowed four runs or more in three of his next four outings. The 22-year-old lost Friday to Washington, giving up four runs on nine hits over 5 2/3 innings - six days after holding Tampa Bay to one run on two hits in a victory. Lopez, who is holding right-handed hitters to a .226 average, posted a 1.44 ERA in 12 starts between Double-A and Triple-A before being promoted to the majors.

Sanchez has split his first two starts since the All-Star break, losing his most recent outing Thursday to the Los Angeles Dodgers in which he surrendered five runs (four earned) on seven hits over 6 1/3 innings. The 34-year-old posted a 3.07 ERA in his five previous outings, including a victory over Washington on July 20 during which he struck out a season high-tying eight. Sanchez is 1-0 with a 1.64 ERA in three career outings against the Marlins, with the victory coming in 2016.

WALK-OFFS

1. Atlanta's top two hitters - 1B Freddie Freeman and RF Nick Markakis - combined to finish 5-for-9 with three runs scored and three RBIs Tuesday.

2. Miami C J.T. Realmuto has at least one hit in his past six games at Atlanta, with three doubles, two triples and a homer in that span.

3. The Marlins are 3-8 against Atlanta and have allowed 75 runs to the Braves this season.

Royals vs. White Sox Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 08/01/2018

Matt Davidson has routinely inflicted damage against Kansas City pitching this season and will look to continue the power display when the Chicago White Sox host the Royals on Wednesday for the middle contest of their three-game series. Davidson hit a two-run homer in Tuesday's 4-2 loss, giving him eight blasts against the Royals this season.

Davidson is a scorching-hot 16-for-37 with 14 RBIs against Kansas City this year, while his eight homers versus one opponent in a single season is tied for fourth-best in that category in franchise history. The 24-year-old has hit a total of eight shots against the rest of the league. Ryan O'Hearn and Brett Phillips each belted a two-run homer as Kansas City won for just the second time in six games, with the former's blast being the first of his career. Alex Gordon registered his second two-hit performance in three starts in the opener as the Royals sent the White Sox to their fifth loss in six contests.

TV: 8:10 p.m. ET, FS Kansas City, NBCS Chicago

PITCHING MATCHUP: Royals RH Jakob Junis (5-11, 5.06 ERA) vs. White Sox RH Dylan Covey (4-6, 5.40)

Junis has dropped eight straight starts and is winless in 10 outings since defeating the New York Yankees on May 18. The 25-year-old lost to the Yankees in his most recent turn as he gave up seven runs - three earned - and nine hits over 4 2/3 innings. Junis was roughed up in his lone career start against the White Sox as he surrendered six runs and six hits while serving up five homers - two to Davidson - over 5 2/3 frames in a loss on April 26.

Covey has been torched regularly of late while going 1-5 with an 8.73 ERA and eight homers allowed over his last seven turns. The 26-year-old lost to the Los Angeles Angels in his last outing as he yielded six runs and nine hits in 4 2/3 innings. Covey is 0-4 with a 6.04 ERA in five career starts against the Royals, including a loss on April 28 in which he allowed four runs and seven hits over six innings.

WALK-OFFS

1. The White Sox are 7-4 against the Royals this season despite Tuesday's setback.

2. Kansas City recalled O'Hearn from Triple-A Omaha prior to the series opener, placed OF Brian Goodwin (groin) on the 10-day disabled list and transferred INF Cheslor Cuthbert (back) to the 60-day DL.

3. Chicago acquired LHP Hunter Schryver from Tampa Bay on Tuesday for international bonus money and released RHP Chris Volstad.

by Gracenote on 08/01/2018

The Colorado Rockies finished a torrid July on a winning note and look to carry their success into a new month when they visit the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday for the third contest of their four-game series. The Rockies posted a 6-3 victory on Tuesday to finish the month with a 17-6 record, and their .739 winning percentage fell just shy of the franchise mark for any month (.750 in June 2009).

All-Star Charlie Blackmon belted a two-run homer in Tuesday's triumph and is 19-for-55 with three blasts during his 13-game hitting streak. Carlos Gonzalez also launched a two-run shot and has registered three multi-hit performances in his last five games - a stretch during which he has gone 9-for-19 with a homer and four doubles. Matt Carpenter continued his power surge for the Cardinals with his 11th homer of July, which was his seventh leadoff shot of the season and the 22nd of his career. Paul DeJong was hitless in four at-bats on Tuesday and is 0-for-13 with six strikeouts over his last three games.

TV: 8:15 p.m. ET, AT&T SportsNet-Rocky Mountain (Colorado), FS Midwest (St. Louis)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Rockies LH Kyle Freeland (9-6, 3.13 ERA) vs. Cardinals RH Luke Weaver (6-9, 4.70)

Freeland limited Oakland to five hits over six scoreless innings in his last turn as he won his third straight decision. The 25-year-old has settled for no-decisions in each of his last four road outings and is 3-4 with a 3.64 ERA in 12 turns away from home this season. Freeland allowed three runs and eight hits over six innings on May 27, 2017 to lose his lone career start against St. Louis.

Weaver defeated the Chicago Cubs in his last turn as he allowed two runs and eight hits in six innings. The 24-year-old has given up eight runs over his last four starts after being battered by Atlanta for eight - and 10 hits - in 4 2/3 frames. Weaver was roughed up for six runs and seven hits over two innings while losing his lone career start against the Rockies on Sept. 21, 2016.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Cardinals traded OF Tommy Pham and $500,000 in international bonus pool money to Tampa Bay for OF Justin Williams, LHP Genesis Cabrera and RHP Roel Ramirez.

2. Colorado All-Star SS Trevor Story recorded two hits on Tuesday and batted .358 with 11 two-hit efforts in July.

3. St. Louis placed RHP Carlos Martinez (shoulder) on the 10-day disabled list and recalled LHP Tyler Webb and OF Tyler O'Neill from Triple-A Memphis.

PREDICTION: Rockies 8, Cardinals 3

Milwaukee Brewers vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Preview and Predictions 08-01-2018 in MLB

Brewers vs. Dodgers Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 08/01/2018

The Los Angeles Dodgers have scored a total of three runs during their three-game losing streak but hope the newest addition to their infield provides an instant spark. Brian Dozier was acquired from Minnesota prior to Tuesday's non-waiver trade deadline and likely will be in the starting lineup Wednesday as the Dodgers continue their four-game series against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers.

Wade Miley tossed seven superb innings and Christian Yelich extended his hitting streak to 15 games in Tuesday's 1-0 victory as Milwaukee improved to 5-1 on its eight-game road trip. The Brewers also bolstered their infield Tuesday by making a deal with Baltimore for Jonathan Schoop, who has hit safely in 22 of his last 23 games and brings a 12-game hitting streak to his new team. Milwaukee is tied with the Chicago Cubs atop the National League Central while the Dodgers have dropped five of their last eight to fall one-half game behind first-place Arizona in the NL West. Matt Kemp is hitless in his last 21 at-bats for the Dodgers, who hope to have injured third baseman Justin Turner (groin strain) back in the lineup as soon as Thursday.

TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, MLB Network, FS Wisconsin (Milwaukee), SportsNet LA (Los Angeles)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Brewers RH Chase Anderson (7-7, 3.69 ERA) vs. Dodgers LH Rich Hill (4-4, 3.82)

Anderson recorded his first win in five July starts on Friday after giving up one run over six innings in a 3-1 victory over San Francisco. The 30-year-old Texan has allowed fewer than three runs in seven straight outings. Kemp is 8-for-22 with two home runs against Anderson, who is 1-4 with a 5.36 ERA in 10 career starts versus Los Angeles - including an 0-3 record and 4.15 mark in six outings at Dodger Stadium.

Hill turned in one of his best outings of the season on Thursday, when he scattered three hits over seven scoreless innings in an 8-2 win over Atlanta. "He has a good curveball. His fastball kind of jumps on you a little bit," Atlanta's Charlie Culberson told reporters. "You've got to tip your cap. He threw the ball well and missed our bats." The 38-year-old owns a 3-1 record and 3.60 ERA in eight career games (seven starts) against the Brewers - including a win in Milwaukee on July 20 in which he gave up one run over six innings.

WALK-OFFS

1. Milwaukee is 17-5 against the NL West this season, including a 3-2 mark versus the Dodgers.

2. The Dodgers acquired John Axford from Toronto for fellow RHP Corey Copping.

3. The Brewers sent RHP Luis Ortiz and INFs Jean Carmona and Jonathan Villar to Baltimore for Schoop.

PREDICTION: Dodgers 6, Brewers 3

Best and worst MLB starting pitchers to bet on in August
Marc Lawrence

Since being traded away from Baltimore, this is the time of year Jake Arrieta is at his best. He might not throw as hard as he used to, but he still knows how to get hitter's out.

With the MLB trading deadline closed, and the NFL preseason whetting our pigskin palates, the month of August sets the table for the stretch run of the baseball season. The question is which pitchers can we count on to satisfy our tastes, and which ones figure to sour our stomachs? Take a look below.

Listed below are hurlers that have enjoyed a two-to-one or better success ratio in team-starts over the course of the last three seasons during the month of August. On the flip side, we've also listed pitchers that struggle in August, winning 33% percent or less of their team-start efforts. To qualify, pitchers must have made a minimum of 10 starts, with at least one start each August over the last three years. And for your convenience alongside each record we break down each pitcher’s greatest success or greatest failure rate either home (H) or away (A) within his good or bad month.

Note: * designates a categorical repeat appearance by this pitcher, maintaining status quo from last season’s August list.

I’ll be back next month with September’s Good Month Pitchers. Until then, make like legendary singer and songwriter Neil Diamond and enjoy the hot August nights.

GOOD MONTH PITCHERS

* Jake Arrieta, Philadelphia Phillies • 15-2 (8-1 A)

Since being traded away from Baltimore, this is the time of year Jake Arrieta is at his best. He might not throw as hard as he used to, but he still knows how to get hitter's out. He, along with Aaron Nola, will keep Philadelphia in the hunt for an NL East title. After giving up 23 homers last year, Arrieta has done a much better job keeping the ball in the yard with just 11 HRs allowed this season.

Bartolo Colon, Texas Rangers • 13-5 (7-2 A)

Though Colon has enjoyed success in August, he was not 45 years old, playing in a small ballpark like Texas and on a bad team. It would be great to see him finish with a flourish, but the fact remains the Rangers are so pitching deficient, they have to depend on the veteran. Amazingly, Colon has played in the majors the same number of years the Braves Ronald Acuna Jr, has been alive (20).

Danny Duffy, Kansas City Royals • 11-5 (7-1 H)

After a slow start, the K.C. lefthander had 2.89 ERA in May and June, But July rolled around and Duffy regressed and his ERA is approaching 5.00 again. His command has been awful, already with a career-high in walks for the season and on pace to match or surpass the 27 home runs he conceded two years ago. With this Royals team I do expect this month to be like those of the past for Duffy.

* Corey Kluber, Cleveland Indians • 14-4 (8-1 H)

The Cleveland right-hander has been very good, but not quite as good as 2014 and 2017 when he won Cy Young's. The biggest reason why is a balky right knee, which has caused him to leave more pitches up than usual and is why he's already very close to a career-high in home runs allowed with two months remaining. Nevertheless, he is still one the best hurlers in baseball and with his experience and the Indians having a mostly favorable slate this month, the winning should continue.

Rick Porcello, Boston Red Sox • 10-3 (6-1 H)

To this point, Rick Porcello's season has been a great deal like previous two. In 2016, Porcello won the Cy Young and was 22-4. Last year, the right-hander was completely the opposite and lost 17 games. This season he's 13-4 and often pitched like he did two seasons ago. But he's also left reminders of how bad he can be with a few incredibly bad performances this year. Expect Porcello to have a fine August, just keep in mind a stinker might also be included.


BAD MONTH PITCHERS

James Shields, Chicago White Sox • 5-12 (2-6 H)

It is really a shame to watch Shields end his career this way. The 36-year is on a team in the midst of rebuilding and at this point of his career he no longer has the needed separation in speed between his pitches to make his once feared change-up effective. Add in he's gone from 3-to-1 K/W ratio to 2-to-1 and it's not hard to imagine he and White Sox will keep losing games.

A 25-Run Outburst

The Washington Nationals released a lot of pent-up frustration in Tuesday's victory against the New York Mets, rolling up a franchise-record 25 runs in a victory. It was also the most lopsided loss in Mets' franchise history, surpassing a 26-7 beatdown from the Philadelphia Phillies back in 1985. Things got so bad for the Mets that SS Jose Reyes came on to pitch for the first time in his career, and he served up two home runs and six runs in his inning of work. These teams will not have a quick turnaround, playing at 12:05 p.m. ET on Wednesday. RHP Noah Syndergaard will be opposed by LHP Tommy Milone. The under is 8-3-1 in Thor's past 12 outings overall, and 4-1 in his past five against the National League East. The over has cashed in five straight at home for the Nats, while going 4-1 in their past five at home vs. RHP. The under is 23-11 in Washington's past 34 following a win, and 35-17 in their past 52 against a righty.

Syndergaard (illness) will be coming back from the 10-day disabled list. He has had his way over the Nats, as the current collection of Washington batters are just 29-for-115 (.252) with one homer, 13 RBI and 31 strikeouts, good for just a .677 OPS. Only INF Anthony Rendon has taken him out of the park, going 8-for-23 (.348) overall with a double, a homer and five RBI. Thor has punched out All-Star Bryce Harper on seven occasions over 21 at-bats, while Harper is good for a double, five singles and two RBI.

Looking Ahead

Wednesday, Aug. 1

The over has been the play for the Blue Jays lately, going 5-1 over their past six games and 4-1 in their past five on the road. RHP Marcus Stroman will take the ball for this day game, but the 'under' is 8-1 in their past nine with Stroman on the hill, including 4-1 over his past five road assignments. The under is also 4-1-1 in his past six on the road against a winning side, and 4-0 in his past four overall against teams with a winning overall record. However, the over is 9-4 in the team's past 13 against a lefty. LHP Sean Manaea is on the hill to the home team, and the under is 8-3 in the lefty's past 11 home assignments. The under is also 4-0 in his past four at home against a team with a losing record, and 4-1 in their past five overall. The over is 6-2-2 in Manaea's past 10 at home against an AL East club, however.

LHP Cole Hamels will make his Cubs debut on the road against the Pirates. The under is 6-2 in Chicago's past eight games overall, while going 5-2 in their past seven against a team with a winning overall record. However, the over is 11-4 in Chicago's past 15 against NL Central foes. The over is also 6-2-1 in Pittsburgh's past seven against a southpaw, while going 4-1 in their past five inside the division. The over is also 4-1 in Nick Kingham's past five starts at PNC Park. In this series, the under has cashed in four of the past five. As far as Hamels is concerned, he was turned up in his most recent start against the A's, as a member of the Texas Rangers, and the over is 3-1-1 in his past five. He has been much more effective on the road, and the under is 5-0-1 in his past six starts away from home.

The Brewers and Dodgers will battle again on Wednesday, and the 'under' has hit in the first two games of the series. The under is also a perfect 5-0 over the past five for L.A., while going 4-1 in their past five at Chavez Ravine. The under is 28-9 in Milwaukee's past 37 games overall, while going 6-0 in Chase Anderson's past six against the NL West and 13-3-1 in his past 17 road outings. The under is 22-8-2 in the past 32 starts overall for C.A., too. However, the over is 9-4 in Milwaukee's past 13 against left-handed starting pitching. As far as L.A. is concerned, the over has hit in five of Rich Hill's past six overall at home, while going 6-1 in his past seven against teams with a winning overall record. The over is also 9-0 in Hill's past nine after recording a quality start in his most recent appearance. The over is 10-3 in Hill's past 13 starts overall, too, but the under is 6-0 in the past six in this series in L.A., and 7-2 in the past nine overall.

Betting On The Wind

The wind is not expected to be a factor in any of the MLB ballparks on Hump Day, blowing at 10 mph or less in each venue.

Thursday, Aug. 2

Angels LHP Andrew Heaney takes the ball against the new-look Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday afternoon. The over has cashed in three of his past four appearances on the road.

Cardinals RHP Miles Mikolas has seen the under connect in seven of his past eight starts at Busch Stadium II, while the over has hit in four of his past five starts overall. In addition, the over is 11-5 in the past 16 overall fort he Cards, and 8-3 in their past 11 vs. RHP. The over is also 8-3 in their past 11 against a winning side, and 5-1 in their past six at home vs. RHP.

It's lefty vs. lefty when Robbie Erlin and Mike Montgomery lock horns at the Friendly Confines. The over is 4-1-1 in San Diego's past six against LHP, and 4-1 in Erlin's past five against a team with a winning overall record. For Chicago, the under is 4-1 in their past five at home against a lefty, while going 5-2 in their past seven overall against southpaws. In addition, the under is 5-1 in Montgomery's past six at home against a team with a losing record, and 4-0 in his past four when working on five days of rest.

The Brewers and Dodgers complete their four-game set with a solid pitching matchup. RHP Jhoulys Chacin and LHP Clayton Kershaw will hook up. The over is a perfect 4-0 in Chacin's past four road outings, and 6-1 in his past seven overall. The over is also 9-4 in Milwaukee's past 13 against left-handed starting pitchers, and 41-18 in their past 59 on the road against southpaws. For the Dodgers, the under is 5-1 in Kershaw's past six working on five days of rest, while the over is 5-2 in his past seven at home. However, the under is 18-8-1 in the past 27 at home against a team with a winning overall mark.

Betting On The Wind

The winds will be kicking at 11-13 mph blowing from home plate to left field at Guaranteed Rate Field for the Royals-White Sox matinee. The wind will also be blowing out from 10-13 mph from home plate to straightaway center field at Citizens Bank Park for the battle between the Marlins and Phillies, so watch the over there.

In D.C., the Reds and Nationals will be battling some raindrops. If they do squeeze the game in, the winds will be howling from 11-14 mph from home plate to the left-center field power alley. The same holds true for the Braves-Mets game, which has a jetstream at 11-14 mph to the left-center field power alley. At Fenway, the winds will blow to straightaway center field from 12-15 mph in the rivalry game between the Yankees and Red Sox.

Friday, Aug. 3

Cubs LHP Jose Quintana takes the ball for the matinee game against the Padres. The under has cashed in three of his past four starts overall. He has been knocked around at home this season, however, posting a 5.02 ERA over 43 innings across eight home starts, serving up seven homers with 21 walks issued.

Marlins RHP Jose Urena will toe the slab against the Phillies at 'The Vault' to kick off a new series. He has a 3-10 record, but a respectable 4.40 ERA this season. The last time he faced the Phillies on July 15 he allowed five earned runs, four hits and four walks in just four innings in a no-decision as the 'over' connected at Marlins Park.

Athletics LHP Bret Anderson will face the Tigers in Friday's battle. He has made eight starts overall this season, but seven of those appearances have come on the road. His only appearance at Oakland Coliseum was a disaster, as he allowed nine runs - seven earned - and 10 hits across just three innings with three walks and no strikeouts against the Astros. He has allowed six or more hits in five os his past seven appearances. Despite the fact he has been so hittable, and his ERA is 5.55 overall on the season, the 'under' is actually 5-1 across his past six appearances, and 7-2 over the past nine.

Wednesday's Diamond Notes
Kevin Rogers

Hottest team: Pirates (14-3 last 17)

Pittsburgh continues its ascent towards a potential Wild Card berth after winning its ninth home game in its past 11 tries on Tuesday. The Pirates held off the Cubs, 5-4 to creep within six games of first place in the NL Central and three games of the second Wild Card position in the National League. In the past 14 games, the Pirates are 11-1 when they score at least one run. Yes, for as silly as it sounds, Pittsburgh has been shut out twice in this stretch and lost a 12-6 decision to the Mets last Friday, but won the other 11 contests when scoring at least once.

The Pirates will square off against recently acquired pitcher Cole Hamels tonight in the second game of their series with the Cubs. Nick Kingham looks to bounce back for Pittsburgh after getting knocked around for six runs and seven hits in three innings in that six-run loss to the Mets last Friday. Kingham has won his previous three starts, while trying to beat the Cubs for the first time in three outings this season.

Coldest team: Marlins (3-6 last nine)

Miami has struggled through the first two games of this series by getting outscored, 16-9 in a pair of losses to Atlanta. In fact, the Braves have scored at least eight runs against the Marlins in four of the past six matchups since May. Miami dropped three consecutive games only once in July, but own a 3-6 record since a four-game winning streak from July 14-21.

Pablo Lopez has seen several ups and downs in his brief Major League career as he has allowed two earned runs or less in two starts, while giving up at least four runs in his other three outings. Lopez has not faced the Braves yet this season, but yielded four runs and nine hits in 5.2 innings of a 9-1 beating by the Nationals last Friday.

Hottest pitcher: Kyle Freeland, Rockies (9-6, 3.13 ERA)

Colorado put together a perfect July record when Freeland took the mound by going 5-0 in his five starts last month. Freeland yielded one earned run or less in three of those outings, while coming off a scoreless effort in a 3-1 home victory over the Athletics last Friday. The Rockies have won each of Freeland’s last two starts away from Coors Field, although he picked up no-decisions at Arizona and Seattle. Freeland is also riding an incredible UNDER run as the Rockies are 8-1 in his last nine outings, even though five of those UNDER came on totals of 10 or higher.

Coldest pitcher: Jakob Junis, Royals (5-11, 5.06 ERA)

Kansas City sits at the bottom of the AL Central as Junis has been ice-cold since the end of May. The Royals began the season with a 7-3 mark in Junis’ first 10 starts, but own a dreadful 1-8 record in his past nine trips to the mound. In five of the previous seven starts, Junis has been tagged for five runs or more, including allowing seven runs in 4.2 innings of a 7-2 setback to the Yankees last Thursday. Junis looks for better run support from his teammates as Kansas City’s lineup has tallied three runs or fewer in seven of his last eight starts.

Biggest OVER run: Rays (4-0 last four)

Following an embarrassing weekend in a three-game sweep by the last-place Orioles, the Rays rebounded in Tuesday’s 10-6 victory over the Angels. Tampa Bay allowed double-digit runs in all three losses at Baltimore and while they gave up six runs last night, the Rays got their offense on track after scoring five runs or fewer in its previous six games. Tyler Glasnow makes his Tampa Bay debut following Tuesday’s trade with Pittsburgh for Chris Archer. Glasnow has yet to start a game this season, but knowing manager Kevin Cash’s unorthodox way of starting relievers, that isn’t a surprise that the right-hander will start.

Biggest UNDER run: Dodgers (5-0 last five)

The Dodgers’ offense is nowhere to be found right now as Los Angeles has plated a total of three runs in the last three games. Los Angeles was shut out for the first time since June 20 in Tuesday’s 1-0 defeat to Milwaukee, while suffering its first three-game losing streak since late June. Rich Hill heads to the mound for the Dodgers this evening as the southpaw has cashed the OVER in each of his last two starts, while receiving 14 runs or support in those victories over the Brewers and Braves.

Matchup to watch: Brewers vs. Dodgers

Milwaukee and Los Angeles continue their four-game series at Chavez Ravine after the Brewers have captured the first two games. Lorenzo Cain’s RBI double in the third inning held up in a 1-0 victory for Milwaukee on Tuesday as a +155 underdog, while left-hander Wade Miley tossed seven scoreless innings and allowed two hits.

Manny Machado’s six-game hitting streak came to a halt on Tuesday, while the top six batters in the Dodgers’ lineup combined to go 0-for-19. The Dodgers have lost four of Rich Hill’s six home starts this season, with all four defeats coming as a favorite of -180 or lower. Hill defeated the Brewers at Miller Park on July 20 by striking out nine batters and scattering five hits in six innings of a 6-3 victory.

Chase Anderson has allowed two earned runs or fewer in seven consecutive starts for Milwaukee, while hitting the UNDER in five straight outings. Anderson picked up a no-decision the last time he faced the Dodgers on June 21, but the Brewers topped Los Angeles, 4-2 to cash as a +150 home underdog. The Brewers have won four straight starts made by Anderson as a ‘dog of +110 or more, but his teams (Milwaukee and Arizona) own a 1-5 record in his last six outings against Los Angeles since 2015.

Betcha didn’t know: Houston ended a five-game losing streak in Tuesday’s 5-2 victory at Seattle. Dallas Keuchel looks to rebound off a loss as a hefty -260 home favorite against Texas in his last start as the Astros have won each of his past four starts away from Minute Maid Park. Keuchel is winless in two starts against Seattle this season, while Mariners’ left-hander Wade LeBlanc is undefeated in nine home starts.

Biggest public favorite: Yankees (-270) vs. Orioles

Biggest public underdog: Rockies (+120) at Cardinals

Biggest line move: Astros (-130 to -145) at Mariners

Wednesday, August 1


Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Carlos Carrasco, Cleveland Indians (12-5, 3.89 ERA, $14)

The Cleveland Indians are a very good baseball team and you can bet the Red Sox, Astros, and Yankees do not want to match up with them come playoff time in the American League. One of the main anchors of their rotation is, as usual, overshadowed by Corey Kluber and quietly putting together another brilliant season.

The Indians have won six of Carlos Carrasco's last seven starts and in his last four appearances (there was a bullpen gig mixed in before the All-Star break) he owns an ERA of 1.89, a WHIP of 1.11, and a tremendous strikeout-to-walk ratio of 23:4.

Carrasco looks to keep the momentum rolling today in Minneapolis as a -172 favorite against Adalberto Mejia and the Minnesota Twins.

Slumping: Cole Hamels, Chicago Cubs (5-9, 4.72 ERA, $-545)

Cole Hamels makes his Chicago Cubs' debut today and...change of scenery...blah, blah, blah...he's been terrible.

Over his last five starts, Hamels is 1-3 with an ERA of 10.23 and a WHIP of 1.9545. In case you were wondering, those are not good numbers.

Hamels jumps right into the divisional race in the NL Central tonight as a slight -115 favorite in Pittsburgh against the Pirates.

D.C. Windbags

The first game on the betting board this afternoon will have the most impactful wind of the day. The Mets and Nationals (mostly the Nationals) combined for 29 runs Tuesday night and will get the benefit of a 13-15 mile per hour wind blowing straight out to center field today.

With Noah Syndergaard making his return from hand-foot-and-mouth disease and Tommy Milone making only his second start of the season, this could definitely turn into a bullpen game by the fifth or sixth inning and may get ugly. Hopefully not 25-4 ugly, however.

"Thor" is a bit of a wild-card in this equation so look at Highest Scoring Period to be after the fifth inning at +160.

Safe Bet at Safeco

Wade LeBlanc has busted out in a big way this season and is a big reason why the Mariners are in position to end their long playoff drought. And boy, does he love pitching at Safeco Field. LeBlanc has made 15 starts in his career at Safeco as a member of the Mariners and he has NEVER LOST.

LeBlanc is 6-0 with a 2.67 ERA and a 0.92 WHIP in nine starts in 2018 at Safeco. With Dallas Keuchel toeing the rubber for the opposing Astros look hard at the Under 4 first five innings (-110).

Dan, Dan The Under Man

Dan Bellino will be calling balls and strikes in Atlanta this evening where the Braves will host the Miami Marlins for the third game of their three-game series at SunTrust Park. Bellino continues to call strikes at a ridiculous rate (64.4 percent) and continues to cash Unders at record pace at 14-2 on the season.

Look for both Pablo Lopez and Anibal Sanchez to exploit the corners early and get into a groove. Play Under 5 in the first five innings at -135.

Play on: Marlins +163 at YouWager

1* Free Pick on Miami Marlins +163
The Marlins are worth a look here as a big road underdog in Wednesday's series finale against the Braves. Miami will be motivated to avoid getting swept by their division rivals and I like their chances of leaving town with a win. The Marlins will send out Pablo Lopez, who I think is much better than 5.34 ERA and 1.325 WHIP he's posted in his 5 starts. Lopez showed what he's capable of a couple starts back, limiting the Rays to just 1 run on 3 hits in 6 innings.
Atlanta will counter with Anibal Sanchez, who is 5-3 with a 3.00 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 14 appearances (13 starts). While those are some solid numbers for Sanchez, Miami has really stepped up their game of late when facing a quality starter. The Marlins are 7-3 in their last 10 vs a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15.
It's also worth noting that Sanchez last started on 7/26, giving him 5 days between starts, which hasn't worked out well for the Braves. Atlanta is just 1-4 in Sanchez's last 5 starts when he's throwing on 5 days of rest. Take Miami!

The Key: The price on the Colorado Rockies today is too good to pass up. They have an edge on the mound with Kyle Freeland over Luke Weaver. Freeland is 9-6 with a 3.13 ERA in 21 starts this year. It goes without saying having an ERA that low for the Rockies is a tremendous accomplishment. Luke Weaver has mostly struggled this season at 6-9 with a. 4.86 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in 21 starts. Weaver sports a 27.00 ERA in his lone lifetime start against the Rockies, yielding 6 earned runs in 2 innings of a 1-11 loss. Freeland is 8-1 vs. teams averaging 2.75 or less extra base hits this season. The Rockies are 20-6 in their last 26 games overall. Take Colorado.

Brewers (Anderson) @ Dodgers (Hill) 10:10 PM ET
Game# 909-910
Play On: Brewers +150
The Dodgers enter today on a 3- game losing streak. During that stretch, they’ve scored just a combined 3 runs while amassing only 9 hits. Rich Hill is 2-4 in his home team starts this season with an uninspiring 4.73 ERA and has allowed 7 home runs in 32 1/3 innings pitched while doing so. As a matter of fact, despite just being one half game behind Arizona for the NL West lead, Los Angeles is just 28-26 at home.
Milwaukee is 7-2 in its last 9 and that includes 5-1 during this current road trip. The Brewers are coming off last night’s 1-0 win at Dodger Stadium. Milwaukee is an extremely profitable 15-4 this season following a game in which there were a combined 4 runs or less being scored. Bet on the Brewers as a money line wager for my Wednesday 8/1 MLB free pick of the day.

MLB | Royals vs White Sox
Play on: White Sox -122 at BetPhoenix

My free play is on the Chi White Sox 8:10 ET. Kansas City won 4-2 last night in Chicago over the White Sox. Ryan O'Hearn and Brett Phillips each hit two-run HRs (the first of the season for both players), with O'Hearn's shot becoming first big league hit! The Royals won for just the second time in six games, while handing the White Sox their fifth loss in six contests. Kansas City is just 33-73 and will go for back-to-back wins for only the third time since the start of June when the Royals square off against the 37-69 White Sox on Wednesday night at Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago for the middle contest of this three-game series. The White Sox are 7-4 against the Royals this season, despite Tuesday's setback
Jakob Junis (5-11, 5.06 ERA) will take the mound for KC and he has lost eight straight decisions and is winless in 10 outings since defeating the New York Yankees back on May 18. Junis lost to the Yankees in his most recent outing, giving up seven runs (three earned) on nine hits over 4 2/3 innings of a 7-2 Yankee win. He was roughed up in his lone career start against the White Sox as he surrendered six runs on six hits while serving up five HRs over 5 2/3 innings of a 6-3 loss back on April 26.
Dylan Covey (4-6, 5.40 ERA) has had no more luck than Junis as of late, going 1-5 with an 8.73 ERA over his last seven starts (team is 1-6). He just lost 12-8 to the LA Angels in his last outing, allowing six runs on nine hits over 4 2/3 innings. Covey is 0-4 with a 6.04 ERA in five career starts against the Royals, including a 5-2 loss on April 28 in which he allowed four runs and seven hits over six innings.
These are two of MLB's worst teams and both of tonight's starting pitchers are struggling. The White Sox did not sell off key players before Tuesday's trade deadline and as for KC, the Royals will devote much of their focus to younger players in the final two months of the season. I'll make a small play tonight on the home team.
Good luck...Larry

Play on: Cardinals -125 at Bovada

1* Free Sharp Play on Cardinals -125
My money is on St. Louis to cash in a win at home against the Rockies in Wednesday's MLB action. The Cardinals fell 6-3 to Colorado on Tuesday, but have rebounded from defeat quite well of late, as they are 6-1 in their last 7 following a loss. St Louis will turn to Luke Weaver to get them back on track. Weaver has had a disappointing 2018 season, but is coming off a strong start at home against the Cubs, holding Chicago to just 2 runs in 6 innings of a 5-2 win. He seems to pitch better against the better teams as the Cardinals have won 5 of his last 7 starts vs a team with a winning record. Colorado will send out lefty Kyle Freeland and St Louis is 5-1 in their last 6 vs a left-handed starter. Bet the Cardinals -125!
