Mets vs. Cubs Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 08/28/2018

Less than a week removed from an alarming offensive outage, the Chicago Cubs are playing arguably their best baseball of the season. The Cubs will aim for a season-high seventh consecutive victory when they continue a three-game series against the visiting New York Mets on Tuesday.

The Cubs improved to 5-0 against the Mets this season with a 7-4 win Monday - their 13th in their last 14 home games against New York -- to increase their National League Central lead to 4 1/2 games over St. Louis. After five straight games scoring a single run, Chicago has put up 44 runs during its six-game winning streak. One of the offensive leaders during that stretch has been former Met Daniel Murphy, who is 11-for-27 with five multi-hit games in his first six contests since joining the Cubs and has at least one hit and one run in every game since joining the club. The Mets are trying to avoid their first series loss since dropping three of four to Atlanta from Aug. 2-5.

TV: 8:05 p.m. ET, SNY (New York), WGN (Chicago)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Jacob deGrom (8-8, 1.71 ERA) vs. Cubs LH Cole Hamels (9-9, 3.82)

The lack of run support that has plagued deGrom all season cropped up again last time out, as he found himself on the wrong end of a 3-1 loss. The 30-year-old allowed two runs (one earned) over six innings in the loss to San Francisco, and he struck out 10 - his fifth straight start with at least nine strikeouts. In six career starts against the Cubs, deGrom is 2-2 with a 3.47 ERA.

Hamels has been nothing short of dominant since joining the Cubs, going 4-0 with a 0.79 ERA in five starts. The 34-year-old is coming off a complete-game win against Cincinnati in which he allowed one run and eight hits with seven strikeouts. Hamels is 9-14 with a 3.99 ERA in 32 career starts against the Mets.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Cubs have homered in 12 consecutive games for the first time since Aug. 5-18, 2006.

2. Mets SS Amed Rosario has recorded multiple hits in two of his past three games and has 10 stolen bases since the All-Star break.

3. Cubs INF Javier Baez is 15-for-36 with six multi-hit games during an eight-game hitting streak.

PREDICTION: Cubs 3, Mets 2

Athletics vs. Astros Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 08/28/2018

The Houston Astros delivered the opening salvo in a pivotal three-game series with the Oakland Athletics and look for their seventh consecutive triumph when they host the middle contest on Tuesday. Alex Bregman and Tyler White each recorded a homer and four RBIs as Houston posted an 11-4 victory on Monday to expand its lead over Oakland in the American League West to 2 1/2 games.

Bregman matched his career best of four hits in the series opener and is 15-for-33 with two homers and eight RBIs during his eight-game hitting streak. White is 9-for-22 with two blasts and eight RBIs during his five-game run and has recorded six homers and 19 RBIs in August. The Athletics are 16-7 this month despite the series-opening setback and hold a 4 1/2-game lead over Seattle for the AL's second wild-card spot. Marcus Semien and Matt Chapman hit two-run homers in the opener, and the latter has registered four shots and seven RBIs over his last four games.

TV: 8:10 p.m. ET, NBCS California (Oakland), AT&T SportsNet-Southwest (Houston)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Athletics RH Edwin Jackson (4-3, 2.97 ERA) vs. Astros RH Charlie Morton (13-3, 3.05)

Jackson lost to Texas in his last turn as he gave up four runs and seven hits over 4 1/3 innings. The 34-year-old has surrendered four homers - and six runs - over 9 1/3 frames in his last two starts after not allowing an earned run over 19 1/3 innings in his previous three outings. Jackson settled for a no-decision against the Astros on Aug. 17, when he gave up two runs and five hits in five frames, and is 2-2 with a 4.11 ERA in nine career appearances (eight starts) versus the team.

Morton picked up a win against Seattle in his last outing despite allowing a season high-tying six runs and seven hits over five innings. The 34-year-old has thrived at home, going 8-2 with a 3.00 ERA while registering 100 strikeouts in 78 frames. Morton has posted a 2.89 ERA in two no-decisions against the Athletics this season and is 1-1 with a 3.80 ERA in four career meetings.

WALK-OFFS

1. Astros OF George Springer (quadriceps) went 1-for-3 with two walks on Monday after missing six consecutive starts.

2. Oakland recalled Daniel Mengden from Triple-A Nashville and optioned fellow RHP Chris Bassitt to the Sounds.

3. Houston C Brian McCann (knee) is finishing a rehab assignment and slated to be activated by Saturday at the latest.

Detroit Tigers vs. Kansas City Royals Preview and Predictions 08-28-2018 in MLB

MLB Previews 27th August 2018 by Gracenote
Tigers vs. Royals Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 08/27/2018

Detroit's Victor Martinez may be 39 years old and on the downside of a productive major league career while playing his final season, but his bat still has some hits in it as the Tigers begin a nine-game road trip with the first of two contests against the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday. Martinez (.250, six home runs, 43 RBIs in 115 games) is batting .289 in August - his highest average for any month this season - after going 2-for-5 with an RBI double Sunday.

"I'm pretty sure this is going to be it," Martinez, who is eighth among Venezuelans in career hits with 2,137, told reporters earlier this month. "This is going to be it. I'm just enjoying these last six weeks and then finally go home." Detroit is coming off a 2-4 homestand that included a three-game sweep at the hands of the Chicago White Sox over the weekend while Kansas City began its eight-game homestand by taking two of three from Cleveland, the runaway leader of the American League Central. The Royals (40-91) have the worst home record in baseball (20-45) while the Tigers (53-78) are 19-44 on the road - only Baltimore is worse away from home (16-50). Detroit's Matthew Boyd is 4-2 with a 2.63 ERA in his last six starts - a stretch that began with a victory at Kansas City - and opposes Jakob Junis, who is 3-0 with a 1.64 ERA in three outings versus the Tigers this season.

TV: 8:15 p.m. ET, FS Detroit, FS Kansas City

PITCHING MATCHUP: Tigers LH Matthew Boyd (8-11, 4.09 ERA) vs. Royals RH Jakob Junis (6-12, 4.70)

Boyd has lowered his ERA by 0.53 during his hot streak, which included six shutout innings with six strikeouts in Detroit's 7-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Thursday. "The way things have gone, the growth that's happened, it's good to see the fruits of that in that sense (being among the league leaders)," the 27-year-old Washington native recently told the Detroit Free Press. "At the same time, I'm looking ahead, at the next few years. I realize I can be even better and I know how to do that. That's my goal and I am excited about what's to come." Whit Merrifield is 8-for-19 and Salvador Perez has two home runs in 24 at-bats versus Boyd, who is 3-6 with a 6.40 ERA in 12 starts versus Kansas City - 1-2, 3.32 in three outings this season after allowing two runs over six innings of an 8-4 victory July 25 at Kauffman Stadium.

Junis yielded four runs (two earned) and nine hits while striking out five across 5 2/3 innings of a 6-3 loss at Tampa Bay on Wednesday. It was the fourth straight outing that the 25-year-old Illinois native yielded two or fewer earned runs - a stretch in which the Royals scored only nine runs as he went 0-1 with a 2.45 ERA during that span. Nicholas Castellanos is 0-for-10 versus Junis, who is 5-1 with a 3.44 ERA in six games (five starts) versus the Tigers.

WALK-OFFS

1. Detroit CF JaCoby Jones is expected to be in the lineup Tuesday after missing 13 games with a right hamstring strain.

2. Merrifield (.307, 10 home runs, 47 RBIs) recorded his second straight two-hit game Sunday and is hitting .347 in August.

3. Kansas City has won seven of the 13 meetings this year, including four of seven at Kauffmann Stadium, as it bids for its fourth straight season series victory over the Tigers.

PREDICTION: Royals 3, Tigers 2

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. St. Louis Cardinals Preview and Predictions 08-28-2018 in MLB

MLB Previews 27th August 2018 by Gracenote
Pirates vs. Cardinals Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 08/27/2018

It's not like the St. Louis Cardinals need much help these days but they'll begin a 15-game stretch playing teams out of postseason contention when they host a three-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates beginning Tuesday. St. Louis, which is 4 1/2 games behind the Chicago Cubs in the National League Central but two games clear of third-place Colorado in the wild-card race, is 19-5 in August and has won nine straight series after taking two of three at fellow wild-card contender Colorado over the weekend.

"I don't know why it shouldn't last the rest of the year," Cardinals second baseman Matt Carpenter told reporters about the successful run. "I don't see why it couldn't." Carpenter knows a thing - or two - about getting hot after tying a major league record with four doubles in Sunday's 12-3 victory, giving him a share of the NL lead in two-baggers with Atlanta's Nick Markakis (38) to go along with a league-high 34 home runs. Pittsburgh (64-67) has won only three of its last 13 games after a 7-4 loss at Milwaukee on Sunday. St. Louis rookie Jack Flaherty hasn't lost in four August starts and opposes Ivan Nova, who has a 2.41 ERA in his last three outings since beginning the month with a loss to St. Louis on Aug. 4.

TV: 8:15 p.m. ET, AT&T SportsNet Pittsburgh, FS Midwest (St. Louis)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Pirates RH Ivan Nova (7-8, 4.20 ERA) vs. Cardinals RH Jack Flaherty (7-6, 2.97)

Nova has suffered from a lack of run support (one run) in his last two starts, allowing a combined three runs and 11 hits over 12 2/3 innings in losses to Atlanta on Aug. 21 and the Chicago Cubs on Aug. 16. The 31-year-old Dominican has yielded three or fewer earned runs in seven of his last eight starts, going 3-2 with a 3.63 ERA during that span. Yadier Molina is 6-for-10 with a home run against Nova, who is 1-2 with a 4.88 ERA in five starts versus St. Louis after permitting four runs in four innings of an 8-4 loss to the Cardinals Aug. 4.

Flaherty is 3-0 with a 1.08 ERA in August after receiving a no-decision at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday, when he allowed only one hit - a solo home run to Joc Pederson - and two walks while striking out 10 across six innings of St. Louis' 3-1 victory. The 22-year-old Californian, who leads rookies with 11.2 strikeouts per nine innings, has struck out a minimum of seven in his last seven starts and is tougher on left-handed batters (.183 batting average) rather than righties (.205). Francisco Cervelli is 1-for-9 with five strikeouts versus Flaherty, who is 2-1 with a 2.86 ERA in four starts versus Pittsburgh - all this season - after recording six shutout innings in a 2-1 road victory Aug. 5.

WALK-OFFS

1. Cardinals 2B Kolten Wong did not play Sunday after leaving Saturday's game after straining his left hamstring.

2. Pirates 2B-OF Adam Frazier (.282) went 6-for-13 with two home runs, seven RBIs and four runs scored in the three-game Milwaukee series over the weekend and is batting .354 with four home runs and 17 RBIs since being recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on July 25.

3. St. Louis is trying to win its fifth straight season series versus Pittsburgh, winning seven of the first 13 games in 2018 - including 3-1 at Busch Stadium where the clubs will reconvene Sept. 10-12.

PREDICTION: Cardinals 3, Pirates 2

Colorado Rockies vs. Los Angeles Angels Preview and Predictions 08-28-2018 in MLB

MLB Previews 28th August 2018 by Gracenote
Rockies vs. Angels Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 08/28/2018

The Colorado Rockies wasted an opportunity to grab a share of first place in the National League West but hope to receive another chance when they visit the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday for the finale of their two-game interleague set. Colorado remained one game behind division-leading Arizona after dropping a 10-7 decision in Monday's series opener.

The Rockies also trail Milwaukee by 1 1/2 games for the second wild-card spot in the NL as they battled back from a 5-2 deficit with five consecutive runs before allowing five in the bottom of the eighth inning en route to their third loss in four contests. DJ LeMahieu concluded a 3-for-5 performance with his first career grand slam in the top of the eighth that gave Colorado a 7-5 lead and Carlos Gonzalez recorded his second three-hit performance in three contests to extend his hitting streak to five games. Eric Young Jr. put Los Angeles ahead for good with a two-run single during the team's late rally, which helped end its six-game losing streak. Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani both homered in the setback, with the former adding a single for his third two-hit effort in four games since returning from the disabled list.

TV: 10:07 p.m. ET, AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain (Colorado), FS West (Los Angeles)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Rockies LH Kyle Freeland (11-7, 2.96 ERA) vs. Angels RH Noe Ramirez (4-4, 4.69)

Freeland makes his second attempt at a career-high 12th victory after settling for a no-decision against San Diego on Thursday despite allowing only two runs in 6 1/3 innings. The 25-year-old native of Denver also looks to even his record and lower his 3.58 ERA on the road, which is more than a full run higher than his mark at home (2.27). Freeland never has faced the Angels but is 5-0 with a 1.81 ERA in seven career interleague starts.

Ramirez, who recorded his first career save by working a perfect inning on 11 pitches in the series opener, will make his first major-league start in the finale as the Angels go with the ever-popular "bullpen game" approach. The 28-year-old Californian has made 60 relief appearances this season and 103 overall since making his debut with Boston in 2015. Ramirez met the Rockies for the first time on May 8, when he yielded two runs on two hits and a walk in one inning at Colorado.

WALK-OFFS

1. LeMahieu has gone 7-for-13 over his last three contests.

2. Ohtani (elbow) threw 50 pitches in a simulated game prior to the series opener and feels he is ready to rejoin Los Angeles' rotation.

3. Trout has gone 6-for-14 with a homer, two RBIs and five runs scored since returning from his wrist injury and a personal leave for the death of his brother-in-law.

PREDICTION: Rockies 7, Angels 3

Seattle Mariners vs. San Diego Padres Preview and Predictions 08-28-2018 in MLB

Mariners vs. Padres Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 08/27/2018

The San Diego Padres aren't putting up much fight of late against teams angling for postseason position, and the Seattle Mariners are hoping that trend continues. The Mariners will try to take advantage of the slumping Padres and draw closer in the American League wild card race when they visit for the opener of a two-game interleague series Tuesday.

The Mariners are 4 1/2 games behind the Athletics in the race for the second AL wild card and need to avoid overlooking San Diego with a four-game showdown in Oakland scheduled to begin Thursday. The Padres were swept in a three-game series by NL playoff hopefuls the Los Angeles Dodgers over the weekend and are 2-8 in their last 10 games - all against potential playoff teams. "There is obviously a ton to improve on," San Diego first baseman Eric Hosmer told reporters. "We have to figure out our identity as a club, our identity as an offense and we just have to find a way to play better baseball." The Padres will try to begin improving as an offense Tuesday against the Mariners' Felix Hernandez while attempting to support their starter, Jacob Nix.

TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, ROOT Northwest (Seattle), FS San Diego

PITCHING MACHUP: Mariners RH Felix Hernandez (8-11, 5.64 ERA) vs. Padres RH Jacob Nix (1-2, 6.17)

Hernandez returned to the rotation Aug. 20 after a brief stint in the bullpen and was reached for four runs on five hits and a pair of walks in six innings without factoring in the decision. The former Cy Young Award winner struck out six in those six frames to match his total from his previous three outings, encompassing 16 2/3 innings. Hernandez is 6-3 with a 2.90 ERA in 12 career starts against San Diego.

Nix is making his fourth career start and trying to recapture the magic he showed in his MLB debut against Philadelphia on Aug. 10. The 22-year-old breezed through six scoreless innings to earn a win in that turn but was reached for a total of eight runs and 10 hits in 5 2/3 innings over his next two outings. Nix is making his first career start against an AL opponent.

WALK-OFFS

1. Mariners RHP Juan Nicasio is expected to undergo season-ending knee surgery.

2. San Diego OF Wil Myers doubled and tripled Sunday - his first extra-base hits since July 29.

3. Seattle RF Mitch Haniger is enjoying an eight-game hitting streak (12-for-33) and scored nine runs in that span.

Diamondbacks vs. Giants Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 08/28/2018

The Arizona Diamondbacks attempt to keep a minor funk from turning into a troublesome stretch when they visit the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday for the middle contest of their three-game set. The Diamondbacks have dropped three of four contests after falling 2-0 in the series opener but maintained their one-game lead over Colorado in the National League West.

A four-game series in Los Angeles looms, with the Dodgers sitting two games back, but Arizona first will face San Francisco ace Madison Bumgarner on Tuesday after being blanked on five hits in the opener. Leadoff hitter Jon Jay recorded three of them, but the foursome behind him in the order - Eduardo Escobar, David Peralta, Paul Goldschmidt and Daniel Descalso - went 1-for-15. The Giants have won three consecutive games, allowing four runs and 16 hits during the streak. Steven Duggar hit a two-run homer to account for Monday's offense and is 6-for-15 with a blast, a triple and four RBIs over his last four contests.

TV: 10:15 p.m. ET, FS Arizona, NBCS Bay Area (San Francisco)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Diamondbacks RH Clay Buchholz (7-2, 2.25 ERA) vs. Giants LH Madison Bumgarner (5-5, 2.88)

Buchholz is one of the hottest pitchers in the majors with six wins in his last seven starts and a 1.73 ERA over his last eight. The 34-year-old scattered four hits over seven scoreless innings in a triumph over the Los Angeles Angels in his last turn and gave up one run in a complete-game victory over San Diego in his previous outing. Buchholz is 1-0 with a 2.77 ERA in three career starts against the Giants - with the win occurring on Aug. 4, when he gave up two runs and seven hits over six frames.

Bumgarner defeated the New York Mets in his last turn as he gave up one run and five hits with eight strikeouts in as many innings. The 29-year-old is 3-2 with a 1.71 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and .198 batting average allowed in seven home starts this season. Bumgarner is 1-1 with a 2.45 ERA in two starts against Arizona this season and 10-11 with a 2.58 ERA in 32 career appearances (31 starts).

WALK-OFFS

1. Giants C Buster Posey (hip) underwent season-ending surgery on Monday and will require a recuperation period of six to eight months.

2. Goldschmidt was 0-for-3 with a walk in the opener but is 21-for-58 with four homers, seven doubles, 10 RBIs and 14 walks against San Francisco this season.

3. San Francisco clinched the season series with Monday's win as it is 10-7 with two games remaining.

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Max Scherzer, Nationals (16-6, 2.13 ERA, $33) & Aaron Nola, Phillies (15-3, 2.13 ERA, $1,119)

It was just impossible to say who is hotter right now between Scherzer and Nola and considering they are facing off for the second time in five days we thought it was appropriate to highlight both.

Scherzer came out on the wrong side of a 2-0 loss in that meeting, but that doesn’t make his numbers any less impressive. He owns a 1.10 ERA with a 0.76 WHIP while racking up 55 punchouts over his last six starts.

Nola, who outduelled Scherzer the last time out, has numbers just slightly better, pitching to a 1.03 ERA with a 0.89 WHIP while striking out 33 in his last five starts.

Nola and the Phillies are slight +105 home underdogs in tonight’s rematch against Scherzer and the Nats (-125).

Slumping: Felix Hernandez, Seattle Mariners (8-11, 5.64 ERA, $-288)

The Felix Hernandez bullpen experiment has short lived, but that was dues to injuries and others struggling, not on merit.

The former Cy Young Award winner is making his second start since re-joining the rotation and while his first start back was OK (four earned runs on five hits in 6.0 innings pitched), there was a reason he was demoted. Hernandez has a 7.53 ERA and a 1.62 WHIP over his last seven starts.

Hernandez and the Mariners are -130 road favorites tonight in San Diego.

PanNo-No-ne

Blue Jays southpaw Thomas Pannone made his first career start last Wednesday against the Orioles and all he did was pitch six innings of no-hit ball and finished with a line of 7.0 IP, 1 hit, no runs. He’ll make his second career start against the same Orioles in Baltimore tonight.

Baltimore took the opener of this series 7-0, but the Jays have still dominated this matchup in 2018, going 12-2 outscoring the O’s 75-42 in the process. With the distraction of Kendry’s Morales homer run streak gone, look for the Jays to be more comfortable tonight against Joshua Rogers, who is also making his first career start. We think the -135 price with the Jays in nice value.

Buehler’s Day On

It really is a pitcher heavy day today and we can’t go any further without talking about Walker Buehler. The Dodgers’ rookie may actually be the hottest of everyone we have mentioned today, pitching to a 0.45 ERA and an 0.85 WHIP over his last three starts.

Another thing Buehler does really well is keep the ball in the ball park, allowing just 10 home runs this season and that’s not good news for the Rangers, who is they’re aren’t hitting the long ball they essentially aren’t scoring. Rangers Under 4.5 team runs (-130) is a solid play today.

Weather Watch

There are a few winds to keep an eye on around the Big Leagues today, but none more so than for tonight’s American League Central matchup at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City as the Royals host the Tigers.

There will be a 14-16 mile per hour wind gusting out to left-center field around first pitch and while the speed may lower slightly as the game rolls on, it will be significant all night. The total for tonight’s game is currently 9.
