San Francisco Giants vs. Colorado Rockies Preview and Predictions 07-04-2018

The Colorado Rockies seek their first home sweep of the season when they take on the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday in the finale of their three-game set. The Rockies, whose only series sweep of the year came against the Mets in New York from May 4-6, trounced the Giants 8-1 on Tuesday for their fifth win in six games.

Tampa Bay Rays vs. Miami Marlins Preview and Predictions 07-04-2018 in MLB

Nolan Arenado belted a three-run shot for his National League-leading 22nd homer of the season and Charlie Blackmon also went deep during a 3-for-5 performance for Colorado, which has outscored San Francisco 13-3 over the first two games of the series. Arenado has homered in nine of his last 14 contests, collecting 21 RBIs in that span. The Giants recorded only six hits - all singles - on Tuesday as they fell to 3-2 on their six-game road trip. Alen Hanson and Brandon Belt each notched two hits in the setback, with the latter registering his third two-hit effort in six contests.


TV: 8:10 p.m. ET, NBCS Bay Area (San Francisco), AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain (Colorado)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Giants LH Andrew Suarez (3-4, 4.18 ERA) vs. Rockies LH Tyler Anderson (5-3, 4.23)

Suarez improved to 2-0 during his seven-start unbeaten streak on Friday, when he allowed just one run and seven hits over six innings at Arizona. The 25-year-old Floridian rookie has given up more than two runs only twice during the stretch while serving up just three home runs over 39 1/3 frames. Suarez's streak began on May 28 at Colorado, where he escaped with a no-decision after yielding four runs and five hits over five innings in his first career outing versus the Rockies.

Anderson avoided a third consecutive loss in a big way on Friday, scattering four hits over a career-high eight scoreless innings en route to a victory over the Dodgers in Los Angeles. The 28-year-old native of Las Vegas is 4-0 on the road this season but has struggled at home, going 1-3 with a 5.26 ERA in seven turns. Anderson has yet to defeat the Giants in his career, going 0-2 with a 5.56 ERA in four starts - including a no-decision at San Francisco on May 20 in which he surrendered five runs and six hits over 5 1/3 innings


WALK-OFFS

1. Hanson has gone 5-for-10 in his last three games against the Rockies.

2. Colorado placed Chad Bettis (finger) on the 10-day disabled list on Tuesday and recalled fellow RHP Antonio Senzatela, who worked seven scoreless innings in the win over the Giants, from Triple-A Albuquerque.

3. San Francisco's starting rotation will receive a boost during its four-game weekend series against St. Louis as Johnny Cueto (elbow) is expected to start the opener on Thursday while fellow RHP Jeff Samardzija (shoulder) will take the mound two days later.

PREDICTION: Giants 6, Rockies 2

Cleveland Indians vs. Kansas City Royals Preview and Predictions 07-04-2018
The Cleveland Indians are a season-high 10 1/2 games up in the American League Central and appear as if they may run away with the division title. They'll try to continue taking advantage of another weak division rival when they look to finish off a three-game sweep against the host Kansas City Royals on Wednesday.


Yan Gomes slugged a go-ahead grand slam to lift Cleveland to a 6-4 victory on Tuesday, giving the Indians - who have scored 30 runs during their three-game winning streak - a 27-13 record against the AL Central. Francisco Lindor added two hits and scored a run in improving to 10-for-20 with four homers, 11 RBIs and nine runs scored during his five-game hitting streak. He likely will be getting his first look at rookie Trevor Oaks, who is expected to step in for the injured Ian Kennedy to make the start for the Royals - losers of five straight. Trevor Bauer carries a 2.40 road ERA into the start for Cleveland.

TV: 8:15 p.m. ET, SportsTime Ohio (Cleveland), FS Kansas City

PITCHING MATCHUP: Indians RH Trevor Bauer (7-6, 2.45 ERA) vs. Royals RH Trevor Oaks (0-1, 7.45)

Bauer went 3-3 in June despite posting a 2.18 ERA and striking out 62 batters in 41 1/3 innings. He dominated the Royals through eight frames early in the season before giving up five runs and a season-high 11 hits over a season-low 4 2/3 frames in a rematch on May 11. That left the 27-year-old with a 2-4 career record versus Kansas City.

Oaks figures to be called up from Triple-A Omaha to start in place of Kennedy, who was placed on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday due to an oblique strain. The 25-year-old Oaks has gone 5-3 with a 2.00 ERA in 13 starts for Omaha, allowing two runs in 22 1/3 innings since being sent down in June. Oaks never has faced the Indians.

WALK-OFFS

1. Royals 3B Mike Moustakas (back spasms) was a late scratch on Tuesday.

2. The Indians placed Lonnie Chisenhall (calf) on the 10-day disabled list and recalled fellow OF Greg Allen from Triple-A Columbus.

3. Cleveland leads the AL with eight grand slams.

PREDICTION: Indians 7, Royals 2

St. Louis Cardinals vs. Arizona Diamondbacks Preview and Predictions 07-04-2018

Flipping the calendar has done nothing to slow down Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, who was named the National League Player of the Month for June after hitting .364 with eight multihit games. The five-time All-Star looks to maintain his torrid pace Wednesday when the Diamondbacks face the visiting St. Louis Cardinals in the rubber match of their three-game series.


Goldschmidt is hitting .413 with 11 homers and 28 RBIs over his past 26 games, including a three-run blast in Tuesday's 4-2 victory. Closer Brad Boxberger pitched a scoreless ninth inning for his 20th save in 24 chances for the Diamondbacks, who snapped a four-game losing streak and improved to 22-12 since May 28. St. Louis lost for the fifth time in their last six games and had a new right fielder in Jose Martinez, who went 1-for-4 while batting third. The 29-year-old has started 72 games at first base this season but made his first start in right field Tuesday as part of the team's effort to improve its infield defense while keeping Martinez's potent bat in the lineup.


TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, ESPN, FS Midwest (St. Louis), FS Arizona

PITCHING MATCHUP: Cardinals RH Miles Mikolas (8-3, 2.61 ERA) vs. Diamondbacks LH Patrick Corbin (6-3, 3.14)

Mikolas suffered from poor run support again last Tuesday and took the loss against Atlanta after giving up one run in 6 1/3 innings. The 29-year-old native of Florida posted a 2.68 ERA and 21-to-6 strikeout-to-walk ratio in six starts in June but received one run or fewer of support in four of those outings. Mikolas is facing Arizona for the first time since 2012, when he made two relief appearances as a member of the San Diego Padres.

Corbin received a no-decision against San Francisco last Friday after allowing one run on four hits over six strong innings. The 28-year-old native New Yorker is winless in his last four starts but has given up just one earned run and posted a 17-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio over his last 13 innings. Matt Carpenter is 1-for-10 with five strikeouts against Corbin, who is 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA in four career starts versus St. Louis


WALK-OFFS

1. St. Louis C Yadier Molina has hit 11 of his 12 home runs this season on the road.

2. Arizona RHP Yoshihisa Hirano has a franchise-record 26-game scoreless streak.

3. The Cardinals are 15-7 at Chase Field under manager Mike Matheny.

PREDICTION: Diamondbacks 5, Cardinals 3

MLB

Wednesday, July 4


STREAKING AND SLUMPING STARTING PITCHERS

Streaking: Aaron Nola, Philadelphia Phillies (10-2, 2.48 ERA, $705)

They don't come much hotter than Nola, who has seen his Phillies go a sizzling 11-2 in his previous 13 starts. And with three of those previous five victories coming with Philadelphia as an underdog, it's easy to see why Nola is one of the top value plays in baseball at the moment, and that certainly won't change Wednesday.

Nola should dominate a weak Baltimore lineup, making Philadelphia a nice option either straight up or on the runline.

Slumping: Eduardo Rodriguez, Boston Red Sox (9-3, 4.11 ERA, $860)

E-Rod has been one of the best bets of any starter in 2018, but the shine is coming off his star. Rodriguez has dropped two starts in a row – one as a -173 fave – while allowing 10 runs, nine earned, over 10 innings in that stretch. Those struggles have lifted his ERA to an unsightly 4.13 for the season, suggesting that he has been a bit fortunate to reach the nine-win plateau.

The Washington offense hasn't exactly been the second coming of the 1927 Yankees, but there's little value in snagging E-Rod at -130 on the road. Stay away from the Red Sox left-hander Wednesday.
