MLB NEWS AND NOTES
Minnesota Twins Host Boston Red Sox MLB Betting Preview
By: Willie Bee


Boston Red Sox at Minnesota Twins (+110, 9)

Tim Wakefield will take another crack at career win No. 200 when he takes the mound for the Boston Red Sox in Monday's series opener at the Minnesota Twins. First pitch from Target Field in Minneapolis will be a little past 4:00 p.m. (PT) and ESPN will televise the game nationally.

The contest begins a 6-game road trip for the Red Sox who are fighting the New York Yankees at the top of the American League East Division. Boston and New York were tied for first entering their Sunday night battle that was still pending, each with identical 69-43 records.

Minnesota (51-62) was fourth in the AL Central standings when play started Sunday, the series finale with the Chicago White Sox also still in progress. It's been a trying season for Ron Gardenhire and his Twins who were supposed to contend for their seventh division flag in 10 seasons only to find themselves 10 games behind the Detroit Tigers.

Scott Baker (9-11, 3.01) will get the call for the Twins to begin this series in a rematch of his matchup with Wakefield in Boston on May 6. Baker worked eight innings and allowed just two runs – solo homers by JD Drew and Adrian Gonzalez – to lead Minnesota (+150) to the 9-2 triumph. It was Baker's first career victory against the Red Sox.

The right-hander out of Oklahoma State is coming off a rough outing in Anaheim last Wednesday, managing to last only three innings and charged with all four Angels runs. Michael Cuddyer and Delmon Young came to Baker's and the Twins' rescue in the 11-4 win.

Baker has been almost untouchable at Target Field since mid-May with six consecutive quality starts. He's allowed just one earned run in the stretch that covers 41 1/3 innings (0.21 ERA) and begins this game with a string of 26 1/3 innings at home without an earned run crossing the plate.

Extending that string against all of the left-handed bats in Boston's lineup will be difficult. Lefties are batting .267 against Baker this season compared to only .208 by right-handed hitters.

Wakefield (10-5, 4.99) has seen his ERA rise nearly half a run during his last seven starts, the veteran knuckler posting a 6.06 mark in that span. But Boston's offense has come to his aid to deliver five wins in the seven outings.

Minnesota's lineup torched him for eight runs (six earned) in less than five innings of that May 6 clash against Baker. The Twins also lit Wakefield up in his only career appearance at their new ballpark, scoring six times in 5 1/3 innings of an 8-0 whitewashing in April 2010.

Baker's May start was the only win for the Twins in that 4-game series at Fenway Park while MLB betting totals split, 2-2. The Twins have won seven of the last 11 of this series played in Minnesota, including two of three in 2010 in the only previous meeting at Target Field between the clubs.

A muggy day is in the Minneapolis forecast along with an increasing chance of scattered thunderstorms after nightfall. Expect winds out of the west (out to center) around 10-12 mph at the game's outset with the temperature in the upper 70s.

Erik Bedard will be on the mound for Boston when the series continues Tuesday. He's scheduled to be opposed by Francisco Liriano.

Monday's Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

STREAKING

Ryan Vogelsong, San Francisco Giants (9-1, 2.19 ERA)

He’s given up two runs or less in five of his last six starts, including allowing one run over six innings against Arizona last Wednesday. Vogelsong has gone 12 starts without losing, the longest streak by a Giants pitcher in 98 years.

Tim Stauffer, San Diego Padres (7-8, 2.96)

The 29-year-old right-hander has allowed two runs or less in eight of his past 10 starts. He blanked the Dodgers over 6 1/3 innings in his last outing. If Stauffer played on a more potent team, he’d have 12 to 15 wins now.


SLUMPING

Derek Lowe, Atlanta Braves (6-10, 4.86)

The 38-year-old sinkerballer has seen his ERA climb steadily over the last six weeks from 4.16 to 4.88. His most recent outing was the worst: he gave up seven earned runs, including two homers, in four innings against the Nationals. Lowe has dropped four of his last five decisions.

Chien-Ming Wang, Washington Nationals (0-2, 6.00)

In Wang’s two starts since coming off the long-term DL, batters are hitting .385 against him. He has struck out two and walked two while allowing 15 hits over nine innings. And he hurt himself with a throwing error in his last outing, a 6-4 loss to Atlanta.

HOT LINES

Monday's Best MLB Bets

Atlanta Braves at Florida Marlins (104, 8.5)

The Braves are leading the wild card race, no thanks to Derek Lowe recently.

The 38-year-old has given up at least four earned runs in four of his last five starts.

Lowe has a 4.79 career ERA against the Marlins. He has to be hoping that Hanley Ramirez doesn’t return from his sprained shoulder Monday, as Ramirez is 14-for-26 (.538) with a homer, six doubles and five walks against him.

Marlins rookie lefty Brad Hand has been almost unhittable at home, holding batters to a .138 average. When he faced the Braves on June 7, the only hit he allowed over six innings was an Alex Gonzalez solo homer.

Florida has won Hand’s last four starts.

PICK: Marlins


Chicago White Sox at Baltimore Orioles (109, NA)

Until giving up four runs to the Yankees his last time out, Chicago lefty John Danks had been on a roll.

He had allowed four earned runs total over his previous six starts.

Baltimore, meanwhile, trots out Jeremy Guthrie, who is trying to avoid his 16th loss. He’s given up five homers in his last five starts. And lifetime he’s 3-5 with a 4.45 ERA against the White Sox.

Guthrie leads MLB in losses, but hasn’t deserved such a cruel fate. He’s gotten 3.3 runs per game to work with, the sixth-lowest support in the AL.

It’s unlikely that trend will change against Danks.

PICK: White Sox

Monday's Betting Tips: PHI-SF Brawl Punishment Coming

Weather To Watch

Seattle Mariners at Texas Rangers, 7:05 p.m. ET – It will be dangerously hot at first pitch. The forecast calls for 105-degree temperatures, dropping only to 99 degrees by 9 p.m. Winds will be blowing in from right at 11 miles per hour.

Who’s Hot

MLB: The Phillies have won nine of Roy Halladay's last 10 starts.

MLB: The Marlins have won rookie Brad Hand's last four starts.

Who’s Not

MLB: The Orioles have lost nine of their last 12 games.

MLB: The Astros have lost six of Wandy Rodriguez's last eight starts.

Key Stat

6 – That’s how many games defensive lineman Sedrick Ellis has missed since becoming a starter in 2001. Ellis just left the Jets for the Patriots and should immediately bolster New England’s pass rush. The Jets planned to start rookie Muhammad Wilkerson over Ellis, but wanted the 34-year-old veteran back as part of the rotation. It’s another twist in one of the NFL’s best rivalries.

Injury Not To Be Overlooked

New York Giants cornerback Prince Amukamara broke his left foot and will need surgery. The 19th overall pick in the draft and likely will miss at least two months, making the Giants’ secondary extremely thin. Amukamara was expected to challenge for a starting job or at least provide valuable depth behind starters Terrell Thomas and Corey Webster.

Notable Quotable

“He has every reasonable chance to come back and be like he was.” – Rockies team physician Dr. Allen Schreiber on pitcher Juan Nicasio, who underwent neck surgery to stabilize a fractured verterbra after being hit in the head by a line drive.

Tips And Notes

Punishment likely will be handed out Monday for Friday night’s Phillies-Giants bench-clearing brawl. San Francisco reliever Ramon Ramirez and catcher Eli Whiteside and Philadelphia center fielder Shane Victorino all were ejected. The fight erupted in the sixth when Philly’s Jimmy Rollins stole second with a six-run lead, and Ramirez hit Victorino in the lower back with a pitch.

The Philadelphia Inquirer is reporting WR DeSean Jackson will end his holdout Monday, eliminating a big obstacle for the NFC East favorites. Jackson, 24, averaged 22.5 yards per catch last season in addition to his electrifying punt returns. Philly is listed at +600 to win the Super Bowl, along with New England and Green Bay.

Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre aggravated his strained left hamstring and will miss three more weeks. Beltre was supposed to come off the DL Sunday, but reinjured the hamstring running the bases in a workout. At the time of the original injury, Beltre led Texas with 76 RBIs.
