Tuesday's Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking

Cole Hamels, Philadelphia Phillies (10-10, 3.06 ERA)

The South Paw has been as dominant as any pitcher in baseball over his past three starts.

Hollywood, who ranks 188th in the National League with 188 strikeouts this season, has finally cut down on allowing hurtful home runs and it shows.

Over his past three starts, Hamels has lasted at least seven innings each time he has toed the rubber and allowed no runner to score over that span. That’s a span of 22 innings in which he has given up no runs and allowed a meager 11 hits. He also has a solid 18-4 strikeout-to-walk ratio.

Hamels said the key to his strong play has been his even-keel approach.

"I want to go out there and get one guy out my next game," he told the Associated Press.

Chris Capuano, Milwaukee Brewers (3-3, 4.09 ERA)

The 32-year-old has had Tommy Johns surgery twice and seems to again be regaining his form with the Brew Crew.

Cappy had a rough start to the season but has been better than solid in his two most recent outings, ending up with a hard-luck, 1-0 loss to the Phillies and besting the Cardinals, 8-1. In those two starts, he combined to allow only two runs over 12 innings while striking out six.

Next up for the South Paw is Houston, which is hitting a meager .133 against him in 4.1 innings this season.

"Knock on wood, I've been real happy with the way the arm feels," Capuano told the Associated Press.

Slumping


Livan Hernandez, Washington Nationals (9-11, 3.82 ERA)

The veteran right-hander had a phenomenal first half, but has tailed off following the All-Star Break.

Hernandez allowed only three runs in his most recent outing, but that is in stark contrast to the train wreck he has become the past few weeks. Over his past 11 starts, the Cuban has an ERA north of 4.60.

More specifically in his past four outings, Hernandez has yielded 23 earned runs over just 21.1 innings, including giving up 30 hits and issuing nine walks over that span.

Zach Duke, Pittsburgh Pirates (7-13, 5.47 ERA)

The left-hander will be owed around $5 million this offseason if he is tendered an offer from the Pirates. He sure hasn’t earned that payday this season. Over his past three starts, Duke has allowed 12 earned runs over 11.1 innings, including lasting only an inning in his most recent outing against the Braves.

"Obviously I wasn't doing much good while I was out there, so I can't fault the manager [for being lifted after one inning]," Duke told the Associated Press. "I was more frustrated with myself at that point."

The last three times he has toed the rubber, he has combined to give up an abysmal 20 hits and issued six walks.

Tuesday's Wagering Tips

Lines to keep an eye on

Cubs at Cardinals: The hosts opened at -210, but have since seen that line shift to -230.

Weather to watch

Blue Jays at Orioles: There is an expected 10 mph wind blowing from third toward first across the diamond.

Phillies at Marlins: There is an expected 15 mph wind blowing in from center field and a 30 percent chance of isolated thunderstorms.

Pirates at Mets: There is an expected 14 mph wind blowing from first toward third across the diamond.

Who's hot

Over is 21-10 in the Dreams past 31 road games.

Phillies are 14-3 in their past 17 road games.

Rangers are 8-3 in their past 11 home games.

Who's not

Under is 35-17-2 in Cleveland’s past 54 games.

Under is 9-2 in Houston’s past 11 home games.

Nationals are 16-40 in their past 56 road games.

Key stat

55 – Pass attempts for Rams rookie quarterback Sam Bradford, breaking the previous NFL record for a player making his debut by 11 tries. Bradford also set the new mark for completions (28) in an NFL debut as he moved the Rams offense effectively against the Cardinals. If there was any doubt that the Rams would put the ball in his hands from Day 1, those issues have been put to rest. This will result in both some unexpected wins and some ugly blowouts this season. He has the green light, and that’s good to know upfront.

Injury that shouldn't be overlooked

Colts safety Bob Sanders has the injury bug seemingly every season, and this year is no different. Sanders, who is an All-Pro caliber player when healthy, suffered a biceps injury on Sunday that could be so brutal that he may miss the duration of the regular season. The former Iowa standout is a noted run-stuffer and after the defending AFC champions were gashed for 257 yards and three touchdowns on the ground last week against Houston, a season-ending injury to a defensive star is something they simply can’t afford. The team’s next four games are against the Giants, Broncos, Jaguars, Chiefs and Redskins, all teams that tout solid running attacks.

Game of the day

Atlanta Dream at Seattle Storm (-7.5, 163)

Notable quotable

"We're very astonished, to say the least, that not one team has contacted us with any interest. I just don't understand it. What has Allen Iverson done to not warrant interest in him?" – Gary Moore, Allen Iverson’s personal manager, on his player not being contacted by any teams prior to the start of training camp.

Tips and notes

The Phillies lineup again is under fire. With substantial injuries to Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Placido Polanco and Jimmy Rollins this season, the unit again could be broken up. Rollins had an MRI on Monday that revealed a strained hamstring and kept him out of the lineup against the Marlins. The short stop is hitting .245 with seven home runs and 37 RBI this year, but is terrific defensively and the team’s table-setter on offense. He already has been on the DL twice this year and a third trip could mean an end to the World Series aspirations of the two-time defending National League champions.

Maybe everything isn’t perfect with the Packers offense. Green Bay hung on for a 27-20 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, but the team’s aerial attack sputtered down the stretch, especially without a strong running game to give the team balance. Running back Ryan Grant is expected to miss the game with a severe ankle injury. That means Brandon Jackson, a third-year player out of Nebraska, and John Kuhn, the team’s fullback, are the only ball carriers left on the roster. Look for the ball to be in the air a lot against Buffalo on Sunday.

Why can’t the Rockies win the National League West? The team is 17-4 in its past 21 games and a staggering 7-1 in its past eight as an underdog. The Rox also started the week with a 10-game winning streak, one tie of its franchise record. Colorado hosts the Padres on Tuesday and is a phenomenal 11-4 against San Diego this season. "Streaks likes this, you win in all kinds of different ways," Rockies manager Jim Tracy told the Associated Press.
