    LEADING OFF: Price vs Salazar; Pence plan; Pineda's turn

    June 11, 2015


    TOP OF THEIR GAME

    Tigers left-hander David Price is coming off a complete game victory over the White Sox. He matches up against Cleveland righty Danny Salazar, who had 10 strikeouts in seven-plus innings of a 2-1 win over Baltimore in his last start.

    PENCE PLAN

    The San Francisco Giants should finally make a decision on whether to put outfielder Hunter Pence on the disabled list. A minor leaguer was ready to fly to New York on Thursday but manager Bruce Bochy said the team decided to hold off for one more day. Pence was injured making a diving catch on June 2.

    BIG BREAK

    Michael Pineda makes his first start after 11 days of rest, when the Yankees open a series in Baltimore. New York skipped the right-hander's last outing in order to manage his innings this year. The Orioles' Ubaldo Jimenez tries for his first win since May 11.

    ON THE MEND

    Oakland's Ike Davis is going to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville. He's been out with a strained left quadriceps since May 14. The first baseman is hitting .282 with two homers and 11 RBIs in 103 at_bats.

    BACK IN THE SHOW

    Signed on Monday by the Philadelphia Phillies, Kevin Correia is set to make his first major league start of the season, against Pittsburgh. Correia pitched for San Francisco's Triple-A team in Sacramento this season, going 0-1 with a 3.58 ERA. He was released on May 29 after exercising an opt-out provision in his contract.

    HALL'S OPEN

    The Baseball Hall of Fame was dedicated at Cooperstown, N.Y., in 1939, and the first induction ceremony was held that day. All 11 living electees were on hand.

      Braves designate Cahill for assignment

      June 11, 2015

      ATLANTA (AP) - The Braves have designated right-hander Trevor Cahill for assignment and selected the contract of lefty Dana Eveland from Triple-A Gwinnett.

      Cahill went 0-3 with a 7.52 ERA in 15 games. He made three starts before getting demoted to the bullpen on April 30.

      Atlanta acquired Cahill from Arizona for minor league outfielder Josh Elander on April 2. Arizona agreed to pay the Braves $6.8 million to cover the majority of the $12.3 million Cahill was owed: $12 million in 2015 salary and a $300,000 buyout of his 2016 option.

      Eveland, 31, will be the 18th reliever to work this season out of a Braves bullpen that ranks last in the majors with a 4.75 ERA. Atlanta is Eveland's ninth team. He is 20-26 with a 5.27 in 144 major league games.

      Cahill has gone 64-72 with a 4.16 ERA in 173 big league starts and 28 relief appearances.

        Reds' Cozart has torn knee ligaments

        June 11, 2015

        CHICAGO (AP) - Reds shortstop Zack Cozart has torn a torn tendon and ligaments in his right knee and will need reconstructive surgery, leaving him with a nine-month rehabilitation.

        Cozart hurt the knee when he slipped on first base while trying to beat out a grounder during a 5-2 win over Philadelphia on Wednesday. The team hadn't received results of tests on the knee when it headed to Chicago for the start of a four-game series.

        It's a stinging setback for the Reds. Cozart is among the NL's top shortstops in numerous offensive categories, with nine homers and 28 RBIs.

        He also was the Reds' second-leading candidate for the All-Star Game that will be played in Cincinnati. Only third baseman Todd Frazier has gotten more fan votes.

          Orioles RHP Gonzalez goes on DL

          June 11, 2015

          BALTIMORE (AP) - Orioles right-hander Miguel Gonzalez was placed on the 15-day disabled list Thursday with a right groin strain.

          The injury occurred during Baltimore's game against Boston on Tuesday night. Two days later, Gonzalez still experienced discomfort.

          ''I understand that it's the right thing to do,'' he said of the move. ''It's not feeling any better. It's still sore. As I walk I feel it.''

          Gonzalez is 5-4 with a 3.33 ERA in 12 starts.

          By being sidelined for no less than two weeks, he won't feel compelled to rush back.

          ''If I feel ready, I'm going to go out there and compete,'' Gonzalez said. ''We don't want to rush it. Right now there's no point in doing it.''

          Baltimore recalled right-hander Mike Wright from Triple-A Norfolk to fill out the roster, which is now at 24 players because lefty Brian Matusz is serving an eight-game suspension for using a foreign substance while on the mound.

          Earlier this season, Wright became the second pitcher in Orioles history to begin his career with two consecutive scoreless starts. He has made four starts, going 2-1 with a 2.96 ERA.

          Wright will be in the bullpen for the next few days. If he is not used, Wright probably will fill in for Gonzalez as Baltimore's starter Sunday against the New York Yankees.

            Nats get RHP Carpenter from Yankees

            June 11, 2015

            MILWAUKEE (AP) - The Washington Nationals have acquired right-handed reliever David Carpenter from the New York Yankees for minor league second baseman Tony Renda.

            The Nationals announced the deal Thursday before their game at the Milwaukee Brewers.

            Washington also transferred outfielder Nate McClouth from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day DL and the team said it would make another move later Thursday to make room on the 25-man roster for Carpenter.

            Carpenter was designated for assignment by the Yankees on June 3, after going 0-1 with a 4.82 ERA in 22 games this season.

            He is 11-11 with a 2.73 ERA in 210 career appearances for four major league clubs.

            Renda was a second-round draft pick in 2012

              Blue Jays putting up ridiculous numbers during streak

              The Toronto Blue Jays have won eight consecutive games and the offensive numbers have been otherworldly. The Jays have outscored their opponents 57-21 during their tear, which equals an average scoring margin of +4.5 runs per game.

              Though the 7.1 runs per game is impressive, the Jays ability to stop opposing offenses has been great. Toronto has allowed 1.6 less runs per game during their winning streak compared to their season average.

              The Blue Jays start a weekend series with the Boston Red Sox Friday.

                Though rare, Locke has dominated the Phillies

                Jeff Locke has owned the Philadelphia Phillies in his infrequent starts against the team, with the Pittsburgh Pirates winning each of the lefties' past four starts against the Phils.

                Locke has pitched 26.2 innings while only allowing four runs through those four games, spread across the past two seasons. The left-hander has struggled this season though, as he has posted a 5.37 ERA with a 1.53 WHIP.

                  Weekend Primer

                  June 12, 2015


                  Cincinnati Reds at Chicago Cubs | 4:05 p.m. ET

                  Game two of this four-game series at Wrigley Field between two NL Central rivals consists of arguably the best pitching matchup of the day. On one side, you have perennial NL Cy Young candidate Johnny Cueto (4-4, 2.64 ERA), who, despite hearing increased noise about being available for trade, is having another one of his stellar seasons for the Reds in 2015. He’s been an under’s best friend, owning a 6-2-3 record towards under bets, this only one year after being 21-12-1 for unders a season ago. He’s as reliable as they get, and is carrying a streak of four straight quality starts into this assignment, while punching out nine batters in two of them. The reigning NL strikeouts champion has 73 punch-outs, compared to just 14 walks, in 78.1 innings this season.

                  He’ll be taking on a pitcher that, very surprisingly, has actually been just as effective this year, Jason Hammel (5-2, 2.76 ERA). Believe it or not, the veteran right-hander is well on his way en route to a berth in the All Star Game, and dare I say it, may even be in contention to start the Midsummer Classic for the National League. If you take a look at his impressive season, you’ll see why this is so. Hammel has been remarkably consistent, going at least six innings in all but one of his 11 starts, while allowing three runs or less in nine of them. In the other two instances, Hammel allowed four runs so he hasn’t really had a bad outing yet in ’15. Most impressive of all, he has an outstanding 76/9 K/BB ratio in his 75 innings of work. The over/under is unsurprisingly 6.5 with winds expected to considerably be blowing in. At the moment, Hammel is a -115 favorite opposing Cueto at home.

                  Cleveland Indians at Detroit Tigers | 7:08 p.m. ET

                  If you were able to bet on the game that would feature the most total strikeouts on tonight's slate, this would probably be the wisest pick. That's because Danny Salazar (6-1, 3.50 ERA) and David Price (5-2, 2.70 ERA) are set to do battle this evening at Comerica Park in the opener of this three-game set.

                  Price enjoying his usual success should come as no surprise, being one of the most consistent starting pitchers in all of Major League Baseball over the past handful of seasons. He's been especially stingy after his worst start of the year on April 22 against the Yankees, pitching into the seventh inning or beyond in all eight of his outings since, while registering a quality start in seven of them. His 78 strikeouts on the year don't rank higher than his counterpart, however, as Salazar possesses an outstanding 81/17 K/BB ratio in his 61.2 innings this season. The 25-year-old is in the midst of a breakout campaign (as I detailed and predicted early last season), after exhibiting significant shades of dominance following his call-up in 2013. This could be quite the duel and carries an over/under line of 7.5, with the talented Salazar being an intriguing +125 road 'dog.

                  New York Yankees at Baltimore Orioles | 7:05 p.m. ET

                  Despite being one of the most wildly inconsistent teams in baseball, the Yankees still find themselves atop the erratic AL East, including being above the reigning division champion Orioles by four games. The key for New York is that when they get hot, they keep it going for extensive stretches that easily outlast their cold spells. They'll turn to continually-emerging ace Michael Pineda (7-2, 3.33 ERA ) in the first game of this three-game series, as the overpowering right-hander has seemingly picked up where he left off from a season ago when he finished with a 1.89 ERA in 13 starts. He has an unbelievable 76/7 K/BB ratio in 70.1 innings this year and always commands a look from a betting perspective whenever he toes the rubber.

                  At one point in his career, Ubaldo Jimenez (3-3, 3.02 ERA) displayed the same type of notable dominance, specifically circa 2010 when he was with the Rockies, and although he's declined since then, Jimenez has been enjoying a renaissance year in 2015. The main reason for Jimenez' return to success largely has to do with being able to cut down on his number of walks, issuing 22 free passes in 62.2 innings this season compared to a whopping 77 in 125.1 innings a year ago. The linesmakers have attached an over/under line of 8 to this pitching matchup, which may drop leading up to first pitch.

                  Other Friday Notes

                  -- It's always a noteworthy event when Clayton Kershaw (5-3, 3.36 ERA) is scheduled for an assignment, especially when he's in his usual form like he is now. In fact, after a dominant eight-shutout-inning performance versus his arch-nemesis, the Cardinals, last Saturday, the reigning NL Cy Young and MVP has recorded three straight starts of lasting seven innings or more while yielding two runs or less. Historically, he’s always been good against the division rival Padres, and as a result, is a -230 favorite. He draws San Diego right-hander Odrisamer Despaigne (3-4, 4.72 ERA) in tonight’s matchup, and as usual for a Kershaw game at home, the over/under line is an unforgiving 6. Also of note, the Padres are 4-7 in games started by their second-year righty.

                  -- You can say the same thing as above whenever Felix Hernandez (9-2, 2.51 ERA) takes the hill for the Mariners. The former AL Cy Young winner bounced back nicely from a horrific effort against the Yankees on June 1, tossing seven innings of one-run ball against the Rays, while allowing just two hits. This evening, he makes his first start of the year against the division-leading Astros, who counter with left-hander Brett Oberholtzer (0-1, 3.75 ERA). The southpaw has logged just 12 innings in his three starts, and will be facing a club that ranks fifth in team OPS (.751) against lefties.

                  -- On MLB Network tonight, the Royals and Cardinals will begin their second and final Interleague series opposite one another. Jaime Garcia (1-3, 2.67 ERA) gets the nod for St. Louis in the opener, seemingly having come fresh out of a time machine from 2012, the last time he was able to hit the 20-start plateau. Injuries have derailed his once-promising career, but four starts into ’15, the lefty looks as healthy and as great as he’s ever been. He’s impressively gone six innings or more in all four of his outings, producing a quality start in each effort. In the process, the under has gone 3-1 in his starts. He’ll face Royals ace Yordano Ventura (3-5, 4.62 ERA), who snapped his streak of four consecutive seven-inning performances his last time out, but has improved dramatically since a rough stretch he endured at the end of April and beginning of May. The over/under is wisely set at 7 for this affair, with Ventura being a +105 road ‘dog.

                            Game of the Day: Royals at Cardinals
                            ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                            Kansas City Royals at St. Louis Cardinals (-114, 7)

                            After raising significant questions by dropping nine of 11, the Kansas City Royals provided a swift answer with four straight wins to reclaim first place in the American League Central. The Royals look to continue their good fortune when they play the first of three games this weekend in the I-70 Series against the host St. Louis Cardinals on Friday.

                            "You're going to have slumps throughout the season. It's how you respond to it," Alex Gordon said after belting a three-run homer in Wednesday's 7-2 triumph over Minnesota. The win allowed Kansas City to cap a series sweep and move two full games ahead of the second-place Twins. The 31-year-old Gordon has struggled mightily in June (4-for-25), but helped the Royals take two of three from their Show Me State rival last month by launching a two-run shot in a 3-2 victory over St. Louis on May 23. The major league-best Cardinals rebounded from that rain-shortened, six-inning setback to win 10 of 12 before losing three of their last five contests - including two of three versus Colorado to end a seven-game road trip.

                            TV: 8:15 p.m. ET, FSN Kansas City, FSN Midwest (St. Louis)

                            LINE HISTORY: Books opened the Cardinals at -114 and -125. The total opened at 7.

                            INJURY REPORT: Royals - N/A Cardinals - LF Matt Holliday (DL-Quad), 1B Matt Adams (DL-Quad)

                            PITCHING MATCHUP: Royals RH Yordano Ventura (3-5, 4.62 ERA) vs. Cardinals LH Jaime Garcia (1-3, 2.67)

                            Ventura was blitzed for four runs on six hits in three innings to suffer the loss in a 4-2 setback to Texas on Saturday. The 24-year-old Dominican also yielded four runs on five hits in seven frames against St. Louis en route to a 6-1 loss on May 24. Ventura pitched significantly better in his first meeting with the Cardinals, picking up the win after permitting just two runs in six innings.

                            Garcia has deserved a better fate in all three of his losses this season, yielding a total of five runs on 14 hits in 21 innings. The 28-year-old's latest heartbreak came against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday, as he allowed just two runs on six hits in seven frames. Garcia is 0-1 with an 8.31 ERA in his career versus Kansas City, with Gordon a blistering 4-for-9 against him with a homer and five RBIs.

                            TRENDS:

                            *Royals are 4-0 in their last 4 overall.
                            *Cardinals are 41-12 in their last 53 home games.
                            *Under is 4-0-1 in Venturas last 5 starts overall.
                            *Under is 12-3-1 in Cardinals last 16 vs. a team with a winning record.

                            CONSENSUS: 60.5 percent of the public are backing the Cardinals

                              MLB betting cheat sheet: Gray dominant during the day
                              ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                              Here's a comprehensive look at betting notes for this weekend’s major-league schedule:

                              Into the Gray

                              After 13 starts only one team has scored more than three runs off Oakland Athletics’ right-hander Sonny Gray (7-3, 1.74 ERA). Just two have crossed the plate more than twice. Gray has been especially dominant in day games, with a 0.69 ERA in four outings. His next start will come on Sunday afternoon at the Los Angeles Angels, against whom Gray is already 2-0 with a 1.80 ERA this season.

                              Cameron going crazy

                              Atlanta Braves’ center fielder Cameron Maybin is on a seven-game hitting streak and he is hitting .483 in June. The first-year Brave has a ridiculous nine multi-hit performances in his last 12 contests. Atlanta is 8-2-1 O/U in its last 11 overall.

                              Houston, we have a problem

                              The Houston Astros get a much-needed day off on Thursday in advance of a three-game home series against the Seattle Mariners. Houston’s 4-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday completed a stretch of seven losses in seven days. In this current seven-game skid, the Astros have scored two runs or fewer on six occasions.

                              Pitching Notes

                              * Justin Verlander of the Detroit Tigers is coming off the disabled list and will make his first start of the season on Saturday against the visiting Cleveland Indians. Since being sidelined by a triceps injury, Verlander has made two rehab starts for Triple-A Toledo. He surrendered just one run on four hits and no walks in 5.2 innings in a 93-pitch appearance last weekend.

                              * Pittsburgh Pirates’ ace Gerrit Cole is positively on fire, to the tune of three scoreless efforts in his last four starts (all featuring at least seven innings of work). Cole’s steadily-improving season statistics currently stand at 9-2, a 1.37 ERA, and 86 strikeouts in 78 innings. The 24-year-old righty will take the mound at home against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday.

                              Hitting Notes

                              * The Toronto Blue Jays are on an eight-game winning streak (4-2-2 O/U) thanks in part to some outstanding work at the plate. They have scored at least four runs in all eight contests and at least six runs in six of the eight. Designated hitter Jose Bautista (.254, 11 HR, 37 RBI) has hit safely in 12 of his last 14 games and he has four homers in his last seven outings.

                              * One man cannot be the reason for a team to be so inept as the Phillies, but second baseman Chase Utley certainly is not helping right now. The 36-year-old does not have a single hit in his last six games and he is zero for his last 21 at-bats. Philadelphia, not coincidentally, is 1-6 in its last seven overall.

                              Umpire Notes

                              * The Baltimore Orioles are 6-0 in their last six ball games when Lazaro Diaz is umpiring behind home plate. He'll be working the dish Thursday evening when the Boston Red Sox visit Camden Yards.

                              Weather Notes

                              * There is a 53 percent chance of thunderstorms in Chicago as the Cubs host the Reds Thursday evening.

                              * Forecasts are calling for wind blowing in directly from centerfield at Globe Life Park in Arlington when the Texas Rangers host the Minnesota Twins Friday.

                              Totals Streak

                              Baltimore Orioles (23-32-3 O/U): Two games in a row have gone under the total for the Orioles, which means they are now 1-6 O/U in their last seven overall. They have not allowed more than three runs in any of their last seven games.

                              Injury Notes

                              * Cincinnati Reds' shortstop Zack Cozart (.258, 9 HR, 28 RBI) sustained a knee injury while trying to beat out a throw at first base during Wednesday’s contest against the Phillies. Cozart had to be helped from the field without putting any weight on his right leg. The Reds assured that a DL stint is likely, and it could be extensive.

                              * New York Yankees' closer Andrew Miller is going on the 15-day disabled list due to a forearm strain and he is expected to miss at least three weeks. Miller is tied for second in the American League with 17 saves and his ERA is 1.03. The Yankees used a less experienced bullpen on Wednesday and blew a lead in the eighth inning before giving up a winning run to the Washington Nationals in the 11th. That ended a seven-game winning steak.

                                Friday, June 12


                                Though rare, Locke has dominated the Phillies

                                Jeff Locke has owned the Philadelphia Phillies in his infrequent starts against the team, with the Pittsburgh Pirates winning each of the lefties' past four starts against the Phils.

                                Locke has pitched 26.2 innings while only allowing four runs through those four games, spread across the past two seasons. The left-hander has struggled this season though, as he has posted a 5.37 ERA with a 1.53 WHIP.


                                Nationals 1B Zimmerman heads to DL

                                MILWAUKEE -- The Washington Nationals hope some time off will help first baseman Ryan Zimmerman get back to being his old self again.

                                Zimmerman was placed on the 15-day disabled list Thursday with plantar fasciitis, a condition that has bothered him all season and is a contributing factor to his lackluster offensive play.

                                "It's pretty typical plantar fasciitis," manager Matt Williams said Thursday before the Nationals lost 6-5 to the Milwaukee Brewers. "It's not getting any better. Over the last three or four games, it's just really bothering him."

                                Zimmerman, 30, has 12 doubles, five home runs and 34 RBIs in 56 games but is batting just .209 with a .265 on-base percentage and is last among qualifiers at his position with a .611 on-base-plus-slugging percentage.


                                We hope you liked favorites and the over Thursday

                                Both favorites and the over turned out to be successful bets in Major League Baseball action Thursday night.

                                Favorites went 7-2 straight up, good for a cash rate of 77.78 percent, while the over was almost as good at 6-3, good for a 66.67 success rate.


                                Blue Jays putting up ridiculous numbers during streak

                                The Toronto Blue Jays have won eight consecutive games and the offensive numbers have been otherworldly. The Jays have outscored their opponents 57-21 during their tear, which equals an average scoring margin of +4.5 runs per game.

                                Though the 7.1 runs per game is impressive, the Jays ability to stop opposing offenses has been great. Toronto has allowed 1.6 less runs per game during their winning streak compared to their season average.

                                The Blue Jays start a weekend series with the Boston Red Sox Friday.


                                Rays continue to struggle at home

                                The Tampa Bay Rays have dropped seven of their past eight games within the friendly confines of Tropicana Field. Those eight games have seen the Rays tally a measly 2.1 runs per game while being outscored by 3.2 rpg.

                                Every major statistical hitting category drops when the Rays are at home, including their slugging percentage dropping from a season average of .379 to .360 in Tampa.

                                The Rays host the Chicago White Sox Friday.
