Wednesday's Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking

R.A. Dickey, New York Mets (5-0, 2.82 ERA)

The Mets knuckleballer has yet to taste defeat since joining the rotation in May. He’s undefeated in six starts with an ERA south of 3.00. In his most recent start, Dickey gave up two runs on seven hits while striking out seven batters in 6.0 innings of work for a 6-4 victory against the Cleveland Indians. That win was one of three victories on the road this year for the righty.

Ubaldo Jimenez, Colorado Rockies (13-1, 1.15 ERA)

Jimenez puts more distance between him and any other pitcher in the bigs, picking up win No. 13 in a one-run, eight-hit effort that equated to a 5-1 victory against the Minnesota Twins. The Rockies' right-hander has allowed two or fewer runs in all but one of his 14 starts and has blanked opposing batters in six outings this season.

Slumping

Brian Bannister, Kansas City Royals (6-5, 5.70 ERA)

Bannister’s season has taken a turn for the worse after winning five straight outings. In his last two games, the Royals righty has allowed 14 runs on 17 hits including three home runs. In his most recent trip to the bump, Bannister lasted just 4.0 innings after being knocked around for five runs on seven hits. He also has the lofty job of going up against Nationals super prospect Stephen Strasburg in DC Wednesday. Bannister is 1-4 with an 8.57 ERA on the road this season.

Kevin Correia, San Diego Padres (5-5, 5.27 ERA)

Correia is far from his red-hot start to the season. He has just one win in his last eight starts and has been inconsistent over his most recent trips to the hill. The Padres' right-hander has allowed 18 total earned runs over his last four appearances, holding a 1-1 mark in that span. In his most recent start, Correia was tagged for five runs in 5.0 innings including two home runs in a 7-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays last Wednesday. He’s given up at least one dinger in three of his last four starts.

Hot Lines: Today's best MLB bets

Atlanta Braves at Chicago White Sox (+105, 8.5)

Two weeks ago we were talking about how the South Siders were looking to trade all of their players and that the manager and GM were about to step into a boxing ring.

After the dust settled, the White Sox went on to win six straight and 10 of 11 games. Chicago came into Tuesday’s game versus Atlanta with a .500 record – the first time the team’s carried the mark since it was 1-1 on April 7.

"We are playing good baseball and just happened to be playing some National League teams that aren't thought of as major powers,” pitcher John Danks said of naysayers after Chicago defeated Washington and Pittsburgh on its recent road trip.

"It would be nice if we go out and play well against Atlanta, being that they are a first-place team and we will get more credit for what we are doing,” he added. “When it's all said and done, it's just a matter of winning.”

Even if the Chi-Sox are beating up on inferior MLB teams, this is a squad the baseball world had written off earlier this month. Now, the Sox are contenders in the AL Central, sitting 5.5 games behind the division-leading Twins.

Mark Buehrle has been pretty good in his last two starts after enduring a minor slump, winning two straight decisions while yielding two runs or fewer in each. The Bravos are hitting .241 against lefties this season.

Pick: White Sox


Florida Marlins at Baltimore Orioles (+110, 9)

When you’re on a team that’s 19-50, you might start thinking in terms of “me” instead of “team.”

It appears that’s the case with Baltimore outfielder Adam Jones. It was reported that after a 9-4 loss to the Padres over the weekend, Jones approached the scorer’s table and asked for his first-inning at-bat that led to an infield error be changed to a hit.

The official scorer obliged, but this could be a sign that players in the Orioles clubhouse have given up on the season and are only concerned about personal accomplishments. An incident like this may be overlooked had Baltimore won or was playing average ball, but this just highlights the team’s season struggles.

This is a pretty fair price for a decent squad like the Fins against a pathetic team like the O’s. Grab the short favorite in this matchup.

Pick: Marlins

Re: 6-23-10

BOB BALFE

United States -140

The United States has been knocking on the door for two decades now, with this being the most important game in USA Soccer history against a team that they should beat. The second half of the last game gave this team the confidence to turn the page and become contenders in this tournament. Take the USA.


England/Slovenia Over 2.5

England has not played well in the first two games and will need a win today to advance to the second round. Look for Slovenia to put some pressure on them and make it tough for the English to control the pace that they prefer. At the end of the day, particularly in the second half, both teams will open it up to put a few goals in the net. Take the Over.


Serbia -125

Australia does not have a good defense and the better team should win here today. If Serbia wins, they will have a great shot at advancing considering Germany is going to need a (and probably will) win against Ghana today to advance. Look for Serbia to get out to an early lead and to never look back, putting all the pressure on the Germans. Take Serbia.


Germany -1

Both teams need a win to secure themselves a spot in the next round. Germany is one of the most offensively gifted teams and does a great job applying pressure early and often. Look for Germany to get a much needed win to advance to the second round. Take Germany -1.


Texas Rangers/Pittsburgh Pirates Over 10

The Pirates out-hit the Rangers last night and still could not get the win. Nippert has been horrible this year so I expect the Pirates to continue to hut and actually generate some runs. Texas will get their runs as always (5.2 rpg) and we should push this over the total today. Take the Over.

Tony George | MLB RunLine Wed, 06/23/10 - 4:35 PM

double-dime bet 956 WAS -1.5 (-119) Bodog vs 955 KAN
Analysis:

Washington -1.5 runs (-119)

Brian Bannister for KC has been lit up like a Christmas Tree in his last 2 starts against Atlanta and Cincy, and in his last 3 games has a 10.05 ERA. Rookie sensation Scott Strasburg should eat up an inconsistent offense of KC, who on this road trip have lost 2 close ones, but Bannister will allow the Nats to put runners in scoring position and light up the scoreboard. KC cannot close a game, and while both bullpens are in excellent form, the Nats should get up early and then close it out. Strasburg has a WHIP of 0.78 and an ERA of 1.86, and KC is hardly intimidating. Strasburg is not a flash in the pan, he is the real deal, and has given up only 10 hits in 3 games and 19 innings pitched, unreal. That was against better teams I might add.

Plasy 2 Units on Washington on the runline. Best of Luck.
