Pirates vs. Padres Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 07/01/2018

The San Diego Padres hope for another strong performance at the plate from Wil Myers when they host the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday for the rubber match of their three-game set. Myers has been swinging a hot bat in the series, going 4-for-9 with a home run and three RBIs, and has recorded three two-hit performances in his last four overall contests.

Myers was an integral part of Saturday's 4-3 victory, belting a solo homer in the third inning before delivering a two-run double in the fifth as the Padres posted their third win in 13 contests. Gregory Polanco was the hitting star for Pittsburgh in the loss, going 2-for-2 with a double, a triple, two walks and an RBI. It was the fourth consecutive two-hit effort by the 26-year-old Dominican, who has gone 9-for-16 with two homers and seven RBIs over his last five contests. David Freese also notched a pair of hits Saturday as the Pirates fell to 3-2 on their nine-game road trip.

TV: 4:10 p.m. ET, AT&T SportsNet-Pittsburgh, FS San Diego

PITCHING MATCHUP: Pirates RH Jameson Taillon (5-6, 3.96 ERA) vs. Padres RH Tyson Ross (5-5, 3.32)

Taillon is coming off a victory over the Mets in New York on Monday, when he allowed two runs and four hits over six innings. The 26-year-old Floridian has alternated wins and losses during his five turns this month, posting a 3-2 record after going nine starts without a triumph. Taillon has given up two runs and eight hits with four walks and 12 strikeouts over 14 1/3 frames while going 1-0 in two career starts against San Diego.

Ross' winless streak reached four starts on Tuesday as he settled for a no-decision at Texas after giving up two runs and five hits in six innings. All four turns by the 31-year-old Californian during his drought came on the road, as he hasn't pitched at home since June 3, when he allowed two runs over five frames in a victory over Cincinnati. Ross evened his career record against the Pirates at 2-2 in six starts after yielding two runs and five hits in six innings of a win at Pittsburgh on May 18.

WALK-OFFS

1. Padres 3B Christian Villanueva has hit safely in six of his last seven games.

2. San Diego may recall RHP Luis Perdomo from Triple-A El Paso to start Wednesday's contest versus Oakland.

3. Pittsburgh is likely to recall RHP Nick Kingham from Triple-A Indianapolis in time to start against the Dodgers in Los Angeles on Monday.

PREDICTION: Pirates 6, Padres 1

Kansas City Royals vs. Seattle Mariners Preview and Predictions 07-01-2018

MLB Previews 1st July 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 07/01/2018

The Seattle Mariners aim for a series sweep and a seventh straight win overall when they host the Kansas City Royals on Sunday for the finale of their three-game set. Seattle scored all of its runs on Saturday over the first three innings and went on to defeat Kansas City 6-4 for its fourth win in five home games.

Mitch Haniger went 3-for-4 with an RBI for the Mariners but was upstaged by Ryon Healy, who recorded a career high-tying four hits and drove in three runs. Haniger has registered multi-hit performances in five of his last nine contests, with each of the last two being three-hit efforts. Mike Moustakas was the hitting star for the Royals, going 2-for-4 with a three-run homer as the club suffered its third loss in four games. Moustakas has notched three straight two-hit performances, going 6-for-12 with two blasts and five RBIs during the streak.

TV: 4:10 p.m. ET, FS Kansas City, ROOT Northwest (Seattle)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Royals RH Brad Keller (2-2, 2.25 ERA) vs. Mariners LH James Paxton (7-2, 3.65)

Keller is coming off his first major-league win as a starter, a triumph over the Los Angeles Angels on Monday in which he allowed two hits and two walks over seven scoreless innings. The 22-year-old rookie from Georgia has increased his innings pitched in each outing since working only three frames against Minnesota on May 30 in his first turn in the rotation. Keller made his first career appearance versus Seattle on April 11, when he gave up one hit in 1 2/3 scoreless innings of relief.

Paxton bounced back from a pair of rough outings on Tuesday as he registered 10 strikeouts while allowing two runs and six hits over seven innings of a victory at Baltimore. The 29-year-old Canadian worked only 7 1/3 frames over his previous two turns, surrendering 10 runs and 14 hits in a no-decision against Boston and a road loss to the New York Yankees. Paxton is 2-0 with a 2.54 ERA in five career starts against the Royals, including a no-decision at Kansas City on April 11 in which he gave up two runs and six hits with 10 strikeouts in six innings.

WALK-OFFS

1. Mariners RHP Edwin Diaz notched his 31st save of the year on Saturday, which is the franchise record for most prior to the All-Star break.

2. Kansas City is happy to begin a new month as it finished with a 5-21 record in June.

3. Seattle is 22 games over .500 for the first time since the last game of the 2003 season.

PREDICTION: Mariners 7, Royals 3

San Francisco Giants vs. Arizona Diamondbacks Preview and Predictions 07-01-2018

MLB Previews 1st July 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 07/01/2018

Shortstop Brandon Crawford always has been known for his glove, but he'll likely be an All-Star starter in a few weeks due in part to his impressive numbers at the plate. Crawford is putting together his best offensive season for the San Francisco Giants, who aim for a sweep of their three-game series against the host Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Crawford recorded a solo home run, two walks and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-0 victory and begins the month of July with a .313 average, 10 blasts and 38 RBIs. Andrew McCutchen and Joe Panik also homered for San Francisco, which has won nine of its last 11 games to pull into a tie with the Los Angeles Dodgers for second in the National League West, 3 1/2 games behind first-place Arizona. Ketel Marte gave the Diamondbacks a scare Saturday, when he exited in the seventh inning with a right hamstring injury, but manager Torey Lovullo was optimistic about his prognosis after the game. The Diamondbacks have been outscored 9-1 in the first two games of the series but hope to have outfielders A.J. Pollock (thumb) and Steven Souza Jr. (strained pectoral) back as soon as next week.

TV: 4:10 p.m. ET, NBC Bay Area (San Francisco), FS Arizona

PITCHING MATCHUP: Giants LH Derek Holland (5-7, 4.24 ERA) vs. Diamondbacks RH Zack Godley (9-5, 4.58)

Holland turned in another strong outing on Tuesday, matching his season high with eight strikeouts while pitching a season-long 6 2/3 innings in a no-decision against Colorado. The 31-year-old native of Ohio has gone 3-1 with a 3.41 ERA over his last six starts covering 31 2/3 innings. Jeff Mathis is 3-for-15 with five strikeouts against Holland, who is 0-1 with a 3.60 ERA in two career starts versus Arizona.

Godley set a new career high with his ninth victory on Tuesday, when he allowed two runs over five innings against Miami. The 28-year-old began June with a 10-3 loss to San Francisco but has gone 4-0 with a 3.09 ERA over his last four starts covering 23 1/3 frames. Panik is 1-for-11 against Godley, who is 2-2 with a 6.97 ERA in six career games (four starts) against the Giants - including 1-1 with a 6.10 ERA in two outings this season.

WALK-OFFS

1. Arizona 1B Paul Goldschmidt is batting .425 with two homers and seven RBIs in 11 games against the Giants this season.

2. San Francisco LHP Tony Watson has tossed 14 1/3 straight scoreless innings over his last 15 appearances.

3. The Diamondbacks placed INF Deven Marrero on the 10-day disabled list with a strained left oblique and recalled RHP Jimmy Sherfy from Triple-A Reno.

PREDICTION: Diamondbacks 6, Giants 5

Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees Preview and Predictions 07-01-2018

MLB Previews 1st July 2018 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 07/01/2018

The Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees took turns bludgeoning each other over the first two games of their American League East showdown, leaving the division race as tight as ever. One team will leave with the upper hand in the season series when the Yankees host the Red Sox on Sunday for the rubber match of their three-game series.

New York belted four home runs in an 8-1 victory in the series opener on Friday but watched Rafael Devers become the youngest player to hit a grand slam in the history of the rivalry when he went deep in the first inning on Saturday to spark the Red Sox to an 11-0 win. Boston heads into Sunday's finale with a one-game lead in the AL East after ace Chris Sale registered 11 strikeouts, but the season series is knotted at four wins apiece. The Yankees, who fell to 30-12 at home, will continue their homestand with a three-game interleague series against Atlanta beginning on Monday before heading into the All-Star break on an 11-game road trip. New York sends ace Luis Severino to the mound in Sunday's rubber match while the Red Sox counter with David Price.

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

PITCHING MATCHUP: Red Sox LH David Price (9-5, 3.66 ERA) vs. Yankees RH Luis Severino (12-2, 2.10)

Price has been showing off his Cy Young form of late and is 7-1 with a 2.72 ERA over his last nine starts, striking out 57 batters in 56 1/3 innings over that span. The Vanderbilt product punched out seven over six frames against the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday, yielding one run and five hits to pick up the win. Price was reached for four runs in just one inning against New York before leaving with numbness in his throwing hand on April 11.

Severino has allowed three runs or fewer in each of his last 14 starts and is coming off a dominating effort at Philadelphia on Tuesday in which he struck out nine in seven scoreless innings. The Dominican leads the AL in wins and ERA and is up to 132 strikeouts in 111 2/3 frames. Severino registered 11 strikeouts while yielding two runs over six innings at home against Boston on May 8 but did not factor in the decision.

WALK-OFFS

1. Yankees RF Aaron Judge went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts on Saturday and has fanned at least once in each of his last 12 games.

2. Red Sox OF-DH J.D. Martinez has recorded multiple hits in six of his last nine games.

3. New York RHP Adam Warren worked 2 2/3 innings of scoreless relief on Saturday for his ninth straight scoreless appearance.

PREDICTION: Red Sox 3, Yankees 2

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

At 45 years old, just the fact that Bartolo Colon is wearing a major league uniform is amazing. However, his past July efforts don't stack up well for the right hander.

Independence Day Fireworks and the MLB All-Star game always go hand-in-hand during the month of July. It’s also signals the start of the second-half of the MLB campaign. And as we’ve come to learn the key to each and every team’s fortunes lies with the pitching staff.

Can these pitchers sew up critical wins or will they unravel like a hand-me-down suit? Stay tuned. What we do know is that certain pitchers love hurling this time of the season while others tend to get lit up like a roman candle.

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 July. On the flip side, we've also listed pitchers that struggle in July, 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 July 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 July list.

GOOD MONTH PITCHERS:

Cole, Gerrit • 9-3 (6-1 H)

As if Cole was not effective enough this month in his career, the right-hander is having a fantastic year with the World Series champs. Cole's evolution began last season when he discovered a changeup that worked, to go along with two fastball's, a curve and a slider. Expect him to continue to stay hot in July.

deGrom, Jacob • 10-4 (5-2 A)

In truth, the only thing that holds deGrom back from continuing to win in July is his teammates. The New York right-hander has a 1.69 ERA this season, but in 10 of last 12 starts, the Mets have scored three or fewer runs. Let's see if deGrom can overcome this adversity.

*Duffy, Danny • 12-4 (7-1 H)

The Kansas City lefty is now on a bad baseball team and is showing the effects of it. Duffy has either been rather good or pathetically awful with little in between. He's not helped himself with 46 walks in just over 94.2 innings and been taken yard 18 times. Keeping up prior numbers could be an issue for Duffy.

*Hamels, Cole • 11-4 (5-1 H)

At some point of this month, Hamels will likely be traded with the July 31 deadline coming. The lefty is no longer the same pitcher he was when with Philadelphia, at 34 years old now. His command is shakier and he's prone to more home runs allowed, but if he's traded to a contender, that might resharpen the focus and make his a consistent winner again.

*Lynn, Lance • 8-3 (6-1 H)

Never a hard thrower, Lynn has always found a way to work out of trouble. He walks more batters than he did before the injury, which is caused by nibbling more. But he knows how to avoid trouble and can be a reliable five/six inning hurler.

Quintana, Jose 11-5 (7-3 H)

Plain and simple, it's time for Quintana to stand up. The Cubs lefty was an excellent pitcher on the other side of Chicago but has been indifferent in his time on the North Side. His inability to spot the fastball inside at the knees or chest high has curtailed his production. With a largely underachieving starting staff, the Cubs need the pitcher they traded for.

*Tanaka, Masahiro • 10-5 (8-1 H)

The new Yankees coaching staff has Tanaka on a shorter leash, but he keeps on winning. As the month starts he will be coming off the DL with a hamstring problem, but he's 7-2 this season and 59-30 lifetime in the Pinstripes and everyone will expect that to continue when he starts dealing again.

BAD MONTH PITCHERS:

Colon, Bartolo • 4-10 (1-5 A)

At 45 years old, just the fact that Colon is wearing a major league uniform is amazing. Nonetheless, his stops in recent years have been on pitching poor teams who don't have anyone in the minors they trust to be even a .500 pitcher. Colon knows how to pitch and where to place the ball, but to expect many W's is a pipedream. This month could lead to his undoing.

Matz, Stephen • 3-8 (1-4 H)

After being a solid pitcher in 2015-16, Matz was injured last season and has not found the previous groove. His walks are up and strikeouts are down this season, which is usually a tell of diminished results. Playing for a Mets club with a host of injuries is the new norm for the Blue and Orange. Matz has not won often in July and that probably continues this season.

Ray, Robbie • 4-10 (1-5 H)

After missing almost two months, the Diamondbacks talented and mystifying portsider retuned on June 27. Nobody has ever questioned Ray's ability and it looked like after having a career-year in 2017, he had grown into the focused pitcher everyone was hoping for. In spite of 51 strikeouts in only 33.2 innings, Ray has an ERA of 4.01 and a WHIP of 1.37. Simply put, it’s hard to trust this pitcher.

Shields, James • 5-11 (1-5 A)

If not for the White Sox willing to live with Shields’ mediocre repertoire at 36 and desire to have a veteran pitcher on a youngish squad, he would probably be out of baseball. Bet against Shields and Chi-Sox again this month.

# 4 FLIRT WITH THE BOYZ 8/1

# 7 I THINK ICON 6/1

# 9 GEORGIES MAY KITTY 10/1

FLIRT WITH THE BOYZ looks very good to best this group of horses in this race and the potential return justifies the very dangerous nature of the long odds. She has a good opportunity for this race as conditioner, Wood, has strong win rate with horses going this distance. Ran a very strong last race. The average class figure of 57 makes this one tough to beat. I THINK ICON - Will likely be one of the early speedsters of the bunch going into the halfway point of the contest. GEORGIES MAY KITTY - Will most likely be one of the front-runners of the pack going into the halfway point of the contest. Solid average Equibase Speed Figures in short races make this equine a contender.

#2 LAUGHING LEVI (ML=8/1)
#3 TAICHUNG BOBBY (ML=3/1)


LAUGHING LEVI - The way this event sets up this colt will be in perfect stalking position when they head for the finish. Ran last time around the track against much better company at Churchill Downs. The move down the ladder based on class should suit him well. Past performance lines show this thoroughbred with three improving speed figures. Gazader should be on a live horse in this race. Just check out his latest speed fig, 59. That one fits well in this field. TAICHUNG BOBBY - When McMahon and Asmussen combine forces on animals the ROI has been fabulous at +67. This thoroughbred picks up a lot of dough per start. I believe he can add to the lifetime earnings right here.

Vulnerable Contenders: #6 JUST OLD SCHOOL (ML=6/5), #8 LIFE'S WAY (ML=7/2), #1 RYMAN (ML=6/1),

JUST OLD SCHOOL - Most of the time I need a sprinter to have some recent good showings in short distance events in order to bet on him. The seventh place result in the last affair was not that great. LIFE'S WAY - 7/2 is not worth it for any horse in a sprint of 6 furlongs that hasn't finished in the money in a sprint affair of late. Showed very little in the last event. Really don't see any hint of any betterment today. RYMAN - 6/1 odds isn't enough for this thoroughbred when examining the most recent efforts.

# 2 CRAZY IVAN 4/5

# 4 COMANCHE HOPPER 15/1

# 9 FIFTY TWO THOUSAND 30/1

I think CRAZY IVAN is a quite good choice. Win percentage one of the best in this group. Win percentage with this jockey and trainer combo - 31 percent - solid. Opposing a much easier field of horses than last time out. COMANCHE HOPPER - Has formidable early pace and will probably fare soundly versus this field. Could best this group here, showing formidable numbers of late. FIFTY TWO THOUSAND - Look for a much stronger outing with the drop. Must be in good form if the handler is bringing him back so soon.

#4 EMERSON'S QUEEN (ML=7/2)


EMERSON'S QUEEN - A big drop down in class figure points from her April 27th race at Tampa Bay Downs. Based on that valuable data, I will give this thoroughbred the advantage. I always like to see a filly getting Lasix for the second time. This one fits the bill.

Vulnerable Contenders: #7 INCA PRINCESS (ML=5/2), #3 WINNIE (ML=3/1), #2 LUNA QUEEN (ML=4/1),

INCA PRINCESS - This stretch-runner should have a rough go of it to be along in time with an absence of pace in this race. WINNIE - Extended time off, then came back and finished seventh. Hard to expect much better in today's event. LUNA QUEEN - She showed not much at all in the last contest. Won't be easy for this horse to beat this field off of that last speed fig. Unlikely to improve enough to run a figure anywhere near today's class rating, so put her on the vulnerable competitors list.

Top HatGUEST COMMENTARY: The Brain - EMERSON'S QUEEN - Pouring over thousands of data points has given me insight into this type of animal. With her front running speed, this one may be awesome.





STRAIGHT WAGERS:
Go with #4 EMERSON'S QUEEN on top if we're getting at least 1/1 odds
