Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Walker Buehler, Los Angeles Dodgers (2-0, 1.12 ERA, $300)

Buehler was the starter for the Dodgers when he and the bullpen combined to no-hit the Padres. Buehler himself threw six scoreless innings of no-hit ball with eight strikeouts and three walks.

The 23-year-old right-hander has been fantastic in his first three career starts, pitching to a 1.12 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP. He and the Dodgers are currently -180 home favorites tonight against the Reds.

Slumping: Jose Berrios, Minnesota Twins (3-3, 3.98 ERA, $-37)

This season has mostly been a struggle for the Twins you right-hander. His last three start have been particularly tough. Berrios has managed to pitch just 13 innings with an ERA of 9.00 and a WHIP of almost 2.00 in his last three appearance, where he has given up more walks and home runs combined (11) than he has strikeouts (9).

Berrios will look to get back on track when he and the Twins visit the Angels tonight. Minnesosta is currently a +128 road dog.

Weather Watch

The only afternoon game on today's schedule is in Philadelphia where the Giants will take on the Phillies at 1:05 PM ET. There is a slight chance of thunderstorms in the Philly area and there will be a stiff 12-15 mile per hour breeze blowing straight out to center field. The Phillies are -145 favorites and the total is set at 9.5.

For the evening slate of games, there is about a 40 percent chance of rain with some thunderstorms in the area for the final game of the Red Sox/Yankees series in The Bronx. The total tonight is 9.5 and the Yanks are -135 favorites.

Wind should not be a factor in any of the evening games on today's schedule.

Ump of the Day

Kerwin Danley: Danley will be calling balls and strikes this evening in Baltimore for the blockbuster battle between the Royals and Orioles. Although his Under numbers are just mediocre this season at 4-3, he is traditionally near the top of the Under standings for umpires as the Under is 34-16 (68 percent) over his last 50 games behind the dish. Going back even further, since the beginning of the 2012 season the Under is 105-59 in games called by Danley. The total for tonight's game between the Royals and O's is set at 10.5.
