Tips and Trends

Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees [FOX | 3:55 PM ET]

Red Sox: Justin Masterson had been cruising along, but he’s hit a wall in his two most recent outings. After allowing a total of 12 runs in his first six starts, Masterson has allowed eight in his last two. Masterson has been much more effective at Fenway Park than he’s been on the road where he’s just 1-2 with a 4.58 ERA on the year.

The OVER is 2-0-1 in Masterson’s last three starts.
Red Sox are 22-7 in their last 29 Saturday games.
Red Sox are 4-10 in their last 14 games as an underdog.

Key Injuries – NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 3 (UNDER – Total Play of the Day)

Yankees (-135, O/U 9.5): After going a month between losses, Mike Mussina has now dropped back-to-back games for only the second time this season. Moose hasn’t pitched terrible in those outings, allowing six runs in 14 innings of work. However, he hasn’t received much run support from the Yankees offense, dropping decisions of 2-1 and 4-2. Mussina has been average in 11 starts at Yankee Stadium, going 5-5 with an ERA of 4.10.

The UNDER is 4-1 the last five times Mussina has taken the mound.
Yankees are 9-4 in Mussina’s last 13 starts.
The UNDER is 9-3 in New York’s last 12 home games.

Key Injuries – OF Johnny Damon (.317; shoulder) is OUT.
OF Hideki Matsui (.323; knee) is on the 15-day DL.

PROJECTED SCORE: 4

Chicago Cubs at St. Louis Cardinals [FOX | 3:55 PM ET]

Cubs: Ted Lilly has won four of his last five starts and the Cubs have been victorious the last six times Lilly has taken the hill overall. Lilly hasn’t been a dominating pitcher, allowing nine runs over his last 21.2 innings of work. However, he’s benefited from solid run support to build a 9-4 record this season. Lilly is pretty much average in every area, including pitching on the road where he is 4-3 with a 4.19 ERA on the year.

The OVER is 5-2 in Lilly’s last seven starts.
Cubs are 12-5 in the last 17 meetings.
The OVER is 8-3 in Chicago’s last 11 games overall.

Key Injuries – OF Alfonso Soriano (.283; broken hand) is on the 15-day DL.

PROJECTED SCORE: 4

Cardinals (-115, O/U 8.5): Kyle Lohse has been spectacular this season. Lohse hasn’t recorded a loss in his last 10 starts, going 7-0 with three no-decisions. Overall, the Cardinals have won eight of the last nine games Lohse has pitched. He’s been tough at home, going 5-1 with a strong 2.77 ERA in 10 starts this season. Lohse has allowed two runs or less seven times in his last 10 outings and he’s walked just 26 batters in 105.1 innings of work this season.

Cardinals are 8-1 in Lohse’s last 9 starts.
The OVER is 11-4-1 in St. Louis’ last 15 games as a favorite.

Key Injuries – SS Cesar Izturis (.241; hamstring) is on the 15-day DL.

PROJECTED SCORE: 6 (Side Play of the Day)

Toronto Blue Jays at Los Angeles Angels [9:05 PM ET]

Blue Jays: Roy Halladay is back to his old dominating self, losing just once in his last 10 starts. Over that stretch, Halladay has allowed two runs or less a remarkable seven times. Halladay is only 5-4 on the road this season but he does possess a solid 2.43 ERA away from home. He has, however, had problems with the Angels. In 13 career starts against Anaheim, Halladay is just 5-5 with an unimpressive 4.80 ERA.

The UNDER is 3-1 the last four times Halladay has taken the hill.
Blue Jays are 2-10 in their last 12 road games.
The UNDER is 8-1 in Halladay’s last 9 starts on grass.

Key Injuries – OF Shannon Stewart (.240; ankle) is on the 15-day DL.

PROJECTED SCORE: 2

Angels (-130, O/U 7): You won’t find a hotter pitcher in baseball right now than John Lackey. He’s won five straight outings, allowing just six runs over his last 38.1 innings of work. The Angels have won seven of Lackey’s starts this season, as he’s allowed more than two runs just once all year. Teams should consider themselves lucky if they score a run off Lackey at Anaheim Stadium. In 30 innings pitched at home this season, Lackey has only allowed five earned runs.

The UNDER is 8-0-1 in his starts this season.
Angels are 6-2 in the last 8 meetings.
The UNDER is 13-3-2 in LA’s last 18 Saturday games.

Key Injuries – NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 4

Los Angeles Dodgers at San Francisco Giants [9:05 PM ET]

Dodgers (-125, O/U 8.5): Chan Ho Park did a great job filling in for Hiroki Kuroda and now he gets the call with Brady Penny scratched from his scheduled start. That may not be a bad thing because while Penny has struggled this season, Park has been fantastic in spot duty. In his last two starts, Park struck out 16 and allowed just one run over 11 innings of work. Park has an impressive 2.45 ERA in 23 appearances as a starter and relief pitcher this season.

Dodgers are 22-10 in the last 32 meetings.
The UNDER is 10-2 in LA’s last 12 games overall.

Key Injuries – OF Juan Pierre (.277; knee) is on the 15-day DL.

PROJECTED SCORE: 5

Giants: When the Giants signed Barry Zito to a huge contract, they weren’t envisioning him having a record of 3-12 heading into the All-Star break two years later. Zito has lost three of his last four starts, getting lit up pretty good in those outings. In his last 19.1 innings of work, Zito has allowed 15 runs. Being at home certainly won’t help. Zito is 0-8 with a ridiculous 7.33 ERA in nine home starts this season.

Giants are 5-17 in their last 22 home games.
The UNDER is 10-4-1 in San Francisco’s last 15 games as an underdog.

Key Injuries – NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 4
