Friday's National League betting cheat sheet and tips

Check out our quick-hitting betting notes on Friday’s National League action:

Los Angeles Dodgers at Pittsburgh Pirates (-159, 8)

Weather: High-60’s. Clear skies expected. Winds will blow out to right field at 8 mph.

Probable starters: Dodgers RH Stephen Fife (1-1, 3.78 ERA) vs. Pirates LH Jeff Locke (5-1, 2.39).

Fife has never faced the Pirates, and no player on Pittsburgh’s roster has a major-league at-bat against him, while Locke is 0-2 with a 5.73 ERA in three games (two starts) lifetime against Los Angeles. Suspended L.A. players as a result of Tuesday's brawl: J.P. Howell, Skip Schumacher, Ronald Belisario Don Mattingly and Mark McGwire. The Pirates are 6-1 in their last seven games as a home favorite.

St. Louis Cardinals at Miami Marlins (122, 7.5)

Weather: Roof will most likely be closed due to thunderstorm risk.

Probable starters: Cardinals RH Jake Westbrook (2-1, 1.62 ERA) vs. Marlins RH Jose Fernandez (3-3, 3.17)

Westbrook will make his first start since mid-May after being sidelined with elbow inflammation. Fernandez has pitched well at home, allowing just five runs in as many starts - but has yielded three homers. The Cardinals are 6-0 in their last six Friday games.

Chicago Cubs at New York Mets (-127, 7.5)

Weather: High-60s. 40 percent chance of showers. Winds will blow from left to right at 10 mph.

Probable starters: Cubs RH Edwin Jackson (2-8, 5.76 ERA) vs. Mets RH Shaun Marcum (0-7, 4.96)

Marcum can't buy a win this season, but he does own a 4-0 career mark versus the Cubs. The under is 4-1 in the last five meetings between the clubs and 4-0 in Marcum’s last four starts.

Milwaukee Brewers at Cincinnati Reds (-140, 8.5)

Weather: Mid-70s. Clear skies expected. Winds will blow left to right at 6 mph.

Probable starters: Brewers RH Kyle Lohse (2-6, 4.03 ERA) vs. Reds RH Bronson Arroyo (6-5, 3.35)

The Reds swept a three-game set from the Brewers at home by a combined 22-11 from May 10-12, but Milwaukee has actually done quite well for itself lately with wins in five of the last six games. The under is 8-0 in Lohse’s last eight starts vs. a team with a winning record.

San Francisco Giants at Atlanta Braves (-132, 7)

Weather: Low-80s. Clear skies expected. Winds will blow in from left field at 3 mph.

Probable starters: Giants LH Madison Bumgarner (5-4, 3.58 ERA) vs. Braves RH Kris Medlen (3-6, 2.87)

The Braves return home after being swept in San Diego, and will face the last team to hand them three losses in a row. The San Francisco Giants defeated Atlanta at home May 10-12, outscoring the Braves 23-4. The over is 6-1 in the last seven meetings.

Philadelphia Phillies at Colorado Rockies (-116, 9.5)

Weather: High-70s. Partly cloudy conditions expected. Winds will blow from right to left at 8 mph.

Probable starters: Phillies RH Kyle Kendrick (6-4, 3.22 ERA) vs. Rockies RH Juan Nicasio (4-2, 4.61)

Rockies SS Troy Tulowitzki reportedly suffered a broken rib Thursday against Washington and could require up to six weeks to recover. Outfielders Carlos Gonzalez and Dexter Fowler also were hurt, although their injuries are not considered serious. Philadelphia won seven of nine meetings in 2012 and has taken a remarkable 27 of the last 33 encounters with Colorado dating back to Sept. 2007.

Arizona Diamondbacks at San Diego Padres (-121, 7)

Weather: Low-60s. Partly cloudy conditions expected. Winds will blow out to right field at 4 mph.

Probable starters: Diamondbacks RH Trevor Cahill (3-7, 4.02 ERA) vs. Padres LH Eric Stults (5-5, 3.53)

Cahill has lost three straight decisions and was rocked by the Giants in his last turn, giving up eight runs on nine hits in a season-low 3 2/3 innings. He has been tagged for 21 runs over 22 2/3 innings during his four-start winless drought, during which his ERA has risen from 2.48 to 4.02. Suspended Arizona players as a result of Tuesday's brawl: Ian Kennedy, Kirk Gibson, Eric Hinske. The over is 10-1 in Arizona’s last 11 road games.

Friday's American League betting cheat sheet and tips

Check out our quick-hitting betting notes on all of Friday’s American League games.

Boston Red Sox at Baltimore Orioles (-110, 9.5)

Weather: High-70s. A 10 percent chance of showers. Winds will blow from left to right at eight mph.

Probable starters: Red Sox RH Ryan Dempster (4-6, 4.40 ERA) vs. Orioles RH Chris Tillman (6-2, 3.89)

Dempster has put together three straight quality starts and has gotten plenty of support in the last two, with the Boston offense busting out for a total of 27 runs in those games. Tillman has had his own problems keeping the ball in the yard with 16 home runs allowed in 76 1/3 total innings. The BoSox are 0-4 in the last four meetings in Baltimore.

Kansas City Royals at Tampa Bay Rays (-170, 8)

Weather: Dome

Probable starters: Royals RH Luis Mendoza (1-3, 4.19 ERA) vs. LH Matt Moore (8-2, 3.78 ERA)

Mendoza has allowed three or fewer earned runs in each of his last seven starts but is just 1-2 in that span. Moore has been knocked around in his last two outings, surrendering 15 runs (14 earned) over seven innings to suffer his first two defeats. The under is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings at Tropicana Field.

Toronto Blue Jays at Texas Rangers (-131, 10)

Weather: Mid-90s. Mostly cloudy skies winds blowing in from center field at six mph.

Probable starters: Blue Jays LH Mark Buehrle (2-4, 5.06 ERA) vs. RH Justin Grimm (5-4, 5.25 ERA)

Buehrle has registered five quality outings over his last six starts - including a seven-inning stint last time out that saw him limit Texas to a run on four hits. Control will be a key for Grimm, who has issued six walks over his last two starts after surrendering only one free pass in his three previous outings combined. Eric Cooper will be the umpire behind the plate and the under is 4-1 in his last five behind the dish.

Chicago White Sox at Houston Astros (+165, 7.5)

Weather: Retractable roof

Probable starters: Chris Sale (5-4, 2.68 ERA) vs. Erik Bedard (1-3, 5.34 ERA)

Sale is looking to rebound after suffering back-to-back losses to the Oakland Athletics. Bedard was handed his first loss since April 26 on Saturday as he surrendered six runs and eight hits over 4 2/3 innings at Kansas City. The over is 9-4 in the last 13 meetings.

Detroit Tigers at Minnesota Twins (+126, 9)

Weather: A 30 percent chance of showers by game time and temperatures in the mid-70s. Winds will blow in from center field at 11 mph.

Probable starters: Tigers RH Rick Porcello (3-3, 4.86 ERA) vs. Twins LH Scott Diamond (4-5, 5.19)

Porcello was roughed up for five runs and 10 hits over five innings in a no-decision against Minnesota on May 23. Diamond is 1-0 with a 3.86 ERA in two starts against Detroit this season and 2-2 with a 2.98 ERA in seven career outings against the Tigers. The Tigers are 16-6 in the last 22 meetings in Minnesota.

New York Yankees at Los Angeles Angels (-148, 8)

Weather: Sunny skies and temperatures in the mid-60s. Winds blowing out to right field at 6 mph.

Probable starters: Yankees LH Andy Pettitte (5-3, 3.82 ERA) vs. Angels LH C.J. Wilson (4-5, 4.02)

Pettitte picked up his 250th career victory in style, allowing just one run on three hits in 7 1/3 innings in a 3-1 triumph over Seattle Saturday. Wilson suffered his second straight loss and fifth in his last six decisions after allowing four runs in five innings against Boston Saturday. The Yankees are 1-6 in Pettitte's last seven road starts vs. Angels and they could be fatigued from an 18-inning affair last night in Oakland.

Seattle Mariners at Oakland Athletics (-185, 7.5)

Weather: Sunny skies and temperatures in the low-60s. Winds will blow out to right field at 10 mph.

Probable starters: Mariners LH Joe Saunders (4-6, 5.12 ERA) vs. Athletics LH Tommy Milone (6-5, 3.69)

Saunders has a 3.47 ERA in 22 career starts against the Athletics and is 1-1 with a 4.35 ERA in two outings this year. Milone is 3-0 in his last five starts after giving up five runs and six hits over five innings in a loss to Seattle on May 12. The under is 6-1 in Milone's last seven starts vs. the Mariners.

Note: The A's used seven pitchers in an 18-inning victory over the Yankees Thursday.

Interleague

Washington Nationals at Cleveland Indians (-135, 7.5)

Weather: Temperatures in the mid-60s and winds blowing in from center field at 9 mph.

Probable pitchers: Nationals LH Gio Gonzalez (3-3, 3.59 ERA) vs. Indians RH Justin Masterson (8-5, 3.68)

Gonzalez saw his winless streak stretch to six starts with a no-decision Saturday in a 4-3 setback against the Minnesota Twins. At Progressive Field, Masterson is 5-1 with a 2.36 ERA this season. The under is 5-0 in Masterson's last fave interleague starts.
