Thursday's Streaking And Slumping Starting Pitchers


Streaking

Mat Latos, San Diego Padres (11-4, 2.48 ERA)

A huge part of the Padres’ surprise success in 2010 has been the impressive play of Latos. The right hander has pitched his way into Cy Young talks, especially his recent performances. Latos is 6-0 in his last seven starts, including winning three straight heading into Thursday’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He returned from 16 days on the DL in his last trip to the bump, giving up two runs on seven hits in six innings of work for a 9-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday.

Vin Mazzaro, Oakland Athletics (6-2, 3.45 ERA)

The A’s young righty hasn’t tasted defeat in five games, going 4-0 with a slim 2.12 ERA in that span. He has allowed more than three earned runs in just two of his 10 starts this season and is coming off a solid appearance against the Chicago White Sox last weekend. He went six innings, giving up only two runs on three hits for a 10-2 win Saturday.

Slumping

Rick Porcello, Detroit Tigers (4-8, 5.55 ERA)

The Tigers righty didn’t pitch terrible in his last trip to the mound, putting in a quality start against the Toronto Blue Jays. But, Porcello did walk four batters and missed out on getting his first MLB win since May 23. He was called up from the minors to pitch in a doubleheader versus the Cleveland Indians two weeks ago, giving up only one run on six hits in eight innings of work. However, he was dealt another no-decision in a 2-1 loss. His control has been off and on since returning to the bigs.

Ubaldo Jimenez (15-2, 2.75 ERA)

Jimenez was once a shoe-in to win the NL Cy Young. But after his last four starts, the Rockies righthander has fallen off his record pace. Jimenez is just 1-1 in that span after allowing 18 total runs. In his last appearance, he was knocked around for six runs on only three hits while walking six batters in just two innings against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Debuting

Dustin Moseley, New York Yankees (0-0, 4.22 ERA)

The injury to Andy Pettitte has forced the Yankees to hand the ball to 28-year-old Moseley for Thursday’s game against the Cleveland Indians. Moseley has worked exclusively out of the bullpen since joining the big-league club in early July. He got in just under five innings of work against the Kansas City Royals this weekend, giving up only one hit while striking out and walking one batter. He is 8-7 with a 5.41 ERA during his MLB career, the past four years spent with the Los Angeles Angels.

Joe Saunders, Arizona Diamondbacks (6-10, 4.62 ERA)

Saunders gets thrown to the wolves in his first start for the D-backs. The lefthander was dealt from Los Angeles earlier this week and will now face one of the toughest lineups in baseball. Saunders did leave L.A. on a high note, going seven innings and allowing only one run on seven hits in a 1-0 loss to the Texas Rangers. He’s faced the Phillies only once before, allowing two runs on five hits over seven innings during interleague action while with the Angels back in June 2008.

HOT LINES

Thursday's Best MLB Bets

Seattle Mariners at Chicago White Sox (-165, 8.5)

The Mariners must leave their bats back in Seattle whenever they got on the road. The M's have scored just 14 runs in their six away games since the All-Star break.

They've been particularly poor at the plate when facing righthanders, batting just .193 over their last 10. That plays right into the right hand of White Sox's starter Freddy Garcia, who has just one win over his last five starts but has pitched well in all except his last.

"There's nothing you can do," the 11-year veteran said following his last outing. "Continue to do your thing, the little things, make the pitches when you need them and go from there."

The M's, who are 1-7 in their last eight stops in Chicago, counter with the inexperience of spot starter David Pauley, who is 0-5 in his brief career.

The righthander is 0-2 this season and has yet to go deeper than six innings - bad news for a struggling bullpen.

Pick: Chicago White Sox


Florida Marlins at San Francisco Giants (-150, 8)

It's been one month since Madison Bumgarner made his season debut and he has already developed into a quality starter in that short period of time.

Bumgarner's last five starts have all come on the road and he is 4-1 with a 1.87 ERA over that span. He allowed just five hits and two runs over seven innings in his last outing against the Diamondbacks.

"I just try to relax, and when stuff starts to happen, I just slow it down a little bit," the rookie lefthander said. "I feel like I've done a pretty good job of that."

Conversely, the Marlins are 1-4 in Anibel Sanchez's 1-4 last five starts and he hasn't earned a win since June 22. The righthander has allowed 12 runs over his last 16 innings of work.

The Marlins are batting just .226 against lefties in their last 10 while the Giants are pounding righties to the tune of .279 over that span. The Giants are 4-1 against the Marlins this season.

Pick: SF Giants
