STREAKING AND SLUMPING STARTERS

STREAKING

Gerrit Cole, Houston Astros (17-5, 2.62 ERA, $794): Stop me if you’ve heard this before. Gerrit Cole is on a hot streak. Yeah, didn’t think so. Jokes aside, he’s doing it again. The Cy Young candidate has a 0.82 ERA and a 0.55 WHIP and has racked up a ridiculous 40 punchouts compared to just four walks in his last three starts. Cole and the Astros are crazy, stupid, -495 home favorites against the Rangers.

SLUMPING

Jon Lester, Chicago Cubs (13-10, 4.59 ERA, $535): The Cubs are in an extremely tight race for the postseason and if they want to extend their playoff appearances to five consecutive seasons, Lester is going to have be the bulldog he is known for being at this time of year.

The veteran left-hander has allowed 15 runs (12 earned) on 18 hits in his last two starts, and one of those was against the lowly-Pirates. Lester will look to bounce back against the Reds tonight, where the Cubbies are -155 home faves.

3 STRIKES

A DUFF-Y FOR HOMER

There is an unexpected pitcher’s duel this afternoon in Oakland as Danny Duffy and the Royals take on Homer Bailey and the A’s. Duffy is in his best stretch of the season, pitching to a 2.45 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP over his last three starts. Meanwhile, Bailey hasn’t allowed more than three earned runs in each of his last six starts, resulting in a 2.25 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP. The Under 9.5 is worth a look this afternoon.

BLUE BIRDS BLEED GREEN (AGAIN)

As we said yesterday, The Blue Jays are one of those rare teams with underlying betting value in September, and they didn’t disappoint last night, notching an 8-4 victory against the Orioles. The Jays have good value once again, as slight +100 road dogs tonight in Baltimore. Clay Buchholz gets the call for the Jays and the veteran has been mostly good since returning from injury and has loved facing the Orioles throughout his career. The Orioles counter with Dylan Bundy, and while he has had success against the Jays, you never know when you’re going to get an ugly outing from him. Keep riding with the Jays.

A STEEP PRICE

As mentioned above, the Astros are huge -495 home favorites tonight against the Rangers, but bettors should think twice if they are looking for a quick return on an easy favorite. MLB moneyline favorites of -300 or greater are 42-17, but have cost bettors $462 dollars (based on $100 wagers). While moneyline favorites of -400 or great are just 4-2 costing bettors $107. And the team that owns both of those losses? The Astros.

Yankees lose to Angels 3-2, miss chance to clinch AL East
September 18, 2019
By The Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) Relief pitcher Adam Ottavino sailed a 30-foot throw home on Albert Pujols' tiebreaking chopper, and the sloppy New York Yankees lost to the Los Angeles Angels 3-2 Wednesday night with a chance to clinch the AL East.

New York could still lock up the division title if Tampa Bay loses to the Los Angeles Dodgers later Wednesday. The Yankees would have been assured a playoff spot if Cleveland had lost, but the Indians beat Detroit 3-2 in 10 innings.

Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton stung the ball in his return from injury and CC Sabathia got an emotional send-off in his final regular-season start in the Bronx, yet New York dropped to 99-54 after entering the night tied with Houston for the majors' best record.

New York hasn't won the AL East since 2012, the third-longest drought for the club since divisions were formed in 1969.

Angels right-hander Luke Bard (2-2) struck out five over three perfect innings of relief. David Fletcher had three hits and Pujols added two hits, an RBI and a stolen base. Los Angeles left 13 on base.

Defensive whiz Andrelton Simmons dived to his backhand at shortstop to rob Luke Voit of a hit in the ninth, helping Hansel Robles complete his 22nd save

Aaron Judge hit 24th homer during an injury-shortened season. Ottavino (6-5) took the loss.

CARDINALS 5, NATIONALS 1

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Adam Wainwright outpitched Max Scherzer, Dexter Fowler made a sensational catch and NL Central-leading St. Louis beat Washington.

Wainwright (13-9) limited the Nationals to an unearned run in seven innings. He gave up eight hits, struck out three and walked one.

Trailing by four, and with two on with one out in the eighth. The Nats' Asdrubal Cabrera hit a drive off Andrew Miller that had the distance to leave the park, but Fowler jumped and reached far over the wall to make the grab.

Tommy Edman and Matt Wieters homered for St. Louis, which began the day with a two-game division lead over Chicago and Milwaukee.

The Nationals started the day with a 1 +-game lead over the Cubs and Brewers in the NL wild-card race. Washington has lost nine of its last 14.

Scherzer (10-7) gave up five runs in 6 2/3 innings and struck out 11.

Carlos Martinez got four outs for his 21st save in 24 chances.

ASTROS 3, RANGERS 2

HOUSTON (AP) - Gerrit Cole struck out 10 batters, including his 300th of the season, in eight strong innings, Yuli Gurriel and Jose Altuve homered and Houston beat Texas to lock up a postseason berth.

Houston won its fifth straight and 100th game of the season, becoming one of six teams in major league history to win at least 100 games in three straight seasons.

The Astros (100-53) have the best record in the majors and can clinch the AL West as early as Friday with a win and loss by Oakland.

Cole (18-5) allowed two runs on six hits in earning his 14th straight win. He became the third Astros pitcher to reach 300 strikeouts in a season, joining J.R. Richard, who had 313 in 1979 and 303 in 1978, and Mike Scott, who struck out 306 in 1986.

Roberto Osuna pitched the ninth for his 35th save.

Willie Calhoun scored on a throwing error and Ronald Guzman hit a solo homer for Texas.

Kolby Allard (4-1) allowed two runs on four hits with four walks and two strikeouts in five innings. The Rangers have lost five straight.

PADRES 2, BREWERS 1

MILWAUKEE (AP) - Dinelson Lamet struck out a career-high 14 and Kirby Yates fanned pinch-hitter Ryan Braun with a runner on second base to close out San Diego'S over playoff-contending Milwaukee.

The Brewers, who had won four in a row, began the day tied with the Cubs for the second NL wild-card spot.

Rookie Seth Mejias-Brean hit his first career home run as the Padres ended a six-game losing streak.

Lamet (3-5) pitched six innings, giving up three hits.

Keston Hiura connected off Lamet in the sixth for his 17th home run of the season.

METS 7, ROCKIES 4

DENVER (AP) - Pete Alonso hit his major league-leading 49th homer and drew a bases-loaded walk during a four-run rally in the ninth inning that sent New York over Colorado.

New York closed to three games behind the Cubs and Brewers for the second NL wild card when both teams lost later in the day. After winning two of three at Coors Field, the Mets have 10 games left this season starting with a three-game series in Cincinnati that opens Friday.

Jeff McNeil also went deep for the Mets, who set a franchise record with 225 home runs this season.

Jairo Diaz (5-4) took the loss. Seth Lugo (7-4) earned the win.

Rookie Sam Hilliard hit two home runs for the Rockies, connecting both times off Noah Syndergaard.

Syndergaard went 5 2/3 innings, giving up four runs on 10 hits and striking out six.

INDIANS 2, TIGERS 1, 10TH INNING

CLEVELAND (AP) - Yasiel Puig hit an RBI single off the top of the right field wall with two outs in the 10th inning and Cleveland kept up its playoff push, beating Detroit.

The Indians entered the day one-half game behind Tampa Bay for the second AL wild-card spot. Cleveland stayed 2 + games behind wild-card leader Oakland.

Cleveland beat the Tigers for the 16th straight time this season. The Tigers, with the worst record in the majors at 45-106, matched their longest losing streak against an opponent. They also dropped 16 in a row to Minnesota in 2002-03.

Puig's bases-loaded drive off Jose Cisnero (0-4) came after an intentional walk to Carlos Santana. It was the fourth hit of the game and the fifth career walkoff plate appearance by Puig.

Adam Cimber (6-3) earned the win for Cleveland, which did not allow a hit after the fourth inning.

PHILLIES 4, BRAVES 1

ATLANTA (AP) - Bryce Harper hit a two-run homer, Zach Eflin pitched seven solid innings and Philadelphia won its second straight game over Atlanta.

Atlanta has lost three in a row for the first time since July 16-18, but still leads the division by nine games. With nine games left in the regular season, the Braves can clinch their second consecutive NL East title with either two wins, two Washington losses or a combination of one each.

The Phillies, eliminated from the division race, are three games behind the Cubs and Brewers in the race for the second wild card.

Eflin (9-12) gave up just an unearned run and five hits.

Julio Teheran (10-10) allowed three hits and four runs - three earned - in five-plus innings.

Hector Neris earned his second save of the series and 28th in 34 chances with a perfect ninth.

WHITE SOX 3, TWINS 1

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Held without a hit until the sixth inning, Minnesota managed only three in the loss to Chicago.

In the AL Central, Minnesota is four games ahead of Cleveland after the Indians beat Detroit 2-1 in 10 innings. The surprising Twins still have a magic number of seven to clinch their first division title since 2010.

Zack Collins homered and Yoan Moncada doubled twice for the White Sox. A trio of Chicago pitchers combined to take a no-hitter into the sixth.

Eddie Rosario had an RBI single for Minnesota. Jake Odorizzi (14-7) struck out nine in 5 2/3 innings but lost for the second time in nine starts. He allowed two earned runs and seven hits.

Jace Fry (3-4) pitched 1 2/3 innings to get the win for Chicago. Alex Colome earned his 28th save in 30 chances with a perfect ninth.

MARINERS 4, PIRATES 1

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Kyle Lewis hit his fifth home run since debuting Sept. 10, Tom Murphy homered and Seattle beat Pittsburgh for its fourth straight win.

Dario Agrazal (4-5) allowed the four runs and six hits while striking out six in five innings.

Tommy Milone (4-9) relieved Justin Dunn to start the third inning for Seattle before allowing two hits and using just 51 pitches to get through five shutout innings. Matt Magill earned his fifth save.

The Pirates lost a fifth straight game since winning three of four from Sept. 9-12. They have been outscored 57-16 during the losing streak, including 10-1 in the first two games of this series.

ATHLETICS 1, ROYALS 0, 11 INNINGS

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Mark Canha hit an RBI double with two outs in the 11th inning and Oakland edged Kansas City to hold its lead atop the AL wild-card race.

The Athletics, who have won seven of eight, began the day two games ahead of Tampa Bay for the top wild-card spot. Cleveland was a half-game behind the Rays.

Starters Homer Bailey of the A's and Danny Duffy of the Royals each pitched seven sharp innings. Bailey allowed three hits and struck out 11, while Duffy gave up two hits and fanned six.

Jurickson Profar drew a leadoff walk from Jesse Hahn (0-1) in the 11th and stole second. After striking out Marcus Semien and Matt Chapman, Hahn intentionally walked Matt Olson to face Canha.

J.B. Wendelken (3-1) pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings for the win.

DIAMONDBACKS 5, MARLINS 4

PHOENIX (AP) - Mike Leake worked effectively into the seventh inning, Domingo Leyba had two RBIs and Arizona beat Miami.

Arizona is 4 + games behind the Cubs abd Brewers in the race for the NL's second wild card.

The Diamondbacks bounced back by jumping on Sandy Alcantara (5-14) early to keep their slim playoff chances alive with nine games to go.

Abraham Almonte hit his first career leadoff home run and Christian Walker added a solo shot for Arizona.

Leake (12-11) gave up solo homers to Austin Dean and Starlin Castro, but limited the rest of the damage in 6 2/3 innings. Archie Bradley retired the final four batters for his 15th save.

Leake gave up three runs on eight hits and struck out four.

GIANTS 11, RED SOX 3

BOSTON (AP) - Stephen Vogt hit a two-run homer and San Francisco gave Bruce Bochy his 2,000th career victory as a manager in the majors.

Bochy became just the 11th manager to achieve 2,000 wins, reaching the milestone with just 10 games remaining for the Giants before their skipper retires at the end of the season.

He won 951 games while managing the San Diego Padres over 12 seasons and is 1,049-1,047 in 13 years with San Francisco, which won three World Series titles with Bochy at the helm.

Jeff Samardzija didn't allow a hit until the sixth inning and the Giants gave him plenty of offense, tagging eight Boston pitchers for 15 hits while winning for the second straight night at Fenway Park.

Rafael Devers hit his 30th home run and Jackie Bradley Jr. homered for the second straight night for the Red Sox.

Vogt finished with four RBIs for the Giants. Samardzija (11-12) pitched six innings, holding Boston to one run on two hits and four walks. He struck out two.

BLUE JAYS 11, ORIOLES 10

BALTIMORE (AP) - Randal Grichuk hit a grand slam with two outs in the ninth inning, and Toronto rebounded from an ineffective start by Clay Buchholz to rally past Baltimore.

Grichuk's 30th home run highlighted a six-run ninth that began with Toronto trailing 9-5. The shot came off Miguel Castro (1-3), who was charged with all six runs.

Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. left in the ninth after being shaken up making a hard slide into second base.

Brock Stewart (4-0) worked the eighth and Derek Law finished for his fifth save.

Jonathan Villar and Anthony Santander homered to give Baltimore an early lead.

It was another disappointing outing by Buchholz. He allowed 10 hits, seven for extra bases, in 3 2/3 innings and left with a 6.48 ERA.

REDS 3, CUBS 2, 10 INNINGS

CHICAGO (AP) - Jose Iglesias had an RBI double in the 10th inning and five Cincinnati pitchers combined for a four-hitter as the Reds recorded their second straight win over the playoff-contending Chicago.

The Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers trail the NL Central-leading St. Louis Cardinals by three games. Chicago and Milwaukee are tied for the second NL wild-card spot, 1+ games behind the Washington Nationals, who hold the first wild card.

Chicago opens a four-game series against St. Louis on Thursday night at Wrigley Field.

With two outs and none on in the top of the 10th, Cincinnati's Aristides Aquino started the winning rally against James Norwood (0-1) with a single to left. After Aquino advanced on a wild pitch, Josh VanMeter walked, putting runners on first and second. Iglesias then doubled to right to score Aquino with the go-ahead run.

Amir Garrett (5-3) struck out Kyle Schwarber to end the ninth and Raisel Iglesias worked around a one-out double in the 10th for his 33rd save. Nico Horner lined out to right to end it.

Cincinnati slugger Eugenio Suarez hit his 48th homer, one behind Pete Alonso of the New York Mets for the major league lead.

Thursday’s quiz
Where did Dan Marino play his college football?

Wednesday’s quiz

Tuesday’s quiz

*************************

Thursday’s List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud……

13) From Liam Stack (this story made me laugh):
A New Zealand man brought an emotional support clown to a meeting where he knew he’d be fired. The clown blew up balloons and folded them into a series of animals throughout the meeting, then mimed crying when the man was handed a pink slip.

Didn’t help; the guy still lost his job.

12) From Russell Baxter: 72 of the 106 Super Bowl teams started that season 2-0; only four of them started 0-2.

11) Atlanta Falcons play their first nine games this year in domes; their first of only three outdoor games is Week 11 (Nov 17) at Carolina.

10) From Ralph Michaels: Since 2016, under is 18-9 in college football games that had a total of 40 or less points.

9) Colts, Eagles and Packers are pretty banged up; they all scrapped their traditional Wednesday practices this week, and had walk-throughs instead.

8) David Fales would appear to be the Jets’ new backup QB; he’s thrown 48 passes in three NFL games, two for Miami in 2017 (with Adam Gase as coach) and one for Chicago in 2016. Fales played college ball at San Jose State.

7) Football stuff:
— Chiefs’ LT Eric Fisher is having core muscle surgery, is out this week.

6) Last time there was a week of NFL games where no team scored 30+ points was Week 9 in 1995, so long ago that the Houston Oilers won a game that week.

5) Pirates’ closer Felipe Vazquez was arrested in Pittsburgh Tuesday on charges of soliciting a child, computer pornography and providing obscene material to minors.

4) Giancarlo Stanton’s over/under home run total for this year was 41.5; wth 11 days left in this season, he has one homer and seven RBI.

3) A’s 1, Royals 0 (11)— Mark Canha got the walk-off hit on Mark Canha T-shirt Day and Chad Pinder made a great catch in left field to save two runs as Oakland won its 92nd game this year.

2) Four teams that got to the Super Bowl after starting season 0-2:
— 1993— Cowboys (won Super Bowl)
— 1996— Patriots (lost)
— 2001— Patriots (won)
— 2007— Giants (won)

1) From Annie Karni of the New York Times:

“Sean Spicer got a minimum of $125,000 to be on Dancing With the Stars, and the pay goes up with every week he stays on.”

We live in a very strange world.

LEADING OFF: Cards-Cubs rivalry, Tigers-Indians not so close
September 18, 2019
By The Associated Press

A look at what's happening around the majors Thursday:

SO CLOSE

The Yankees can clinch their first AL East title since 2012 with a win over the Angels in the Bronx. New York pushed back J.A. Happ's scheduled start by a day and will throw Masahiro Tanaka (10-8, 4.60 ERA) against Los Angeles.

The Yankees' magic number stayed at one Wednesday night when they lost to the Angels 3-2 and second-place Tampa Bay rallied past the Dodgers 8-7 in 11 innings.

HEAD TO HEAD

Old rivals meet at Wrigley Field when the first-place Cardinals face the Cubs in the opener of a four-game series that could go a long way toward deciding the NL Central. Jack Flaherty (10-8, 3.05 ERA) pitches against Chicago right-hander Kyle Hendricks (11-9, 3.26). The teams play seven times in their final 10 games, pivotal matchups in a three-way division race that also includes Milwaukee. St. Louis is three games ahead of both the Cubs and Brewers.

''Now we've got to beat those Cubs in Chicago,'' veteran Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright said after Wednesday's win over Washington. ''We haven't beat them all year in Chicago. We've got to beat them this time.''

CLEVELAND CLUBBING

Francisco Lindor, Carlos Santana and the contending Cleveland Indians get their last look at the Tigers - that'll be a relief for Detroit, no doubt.

The Indians have won 16 in a row against Detroit this season, including a 2-1 victory Wednesday night on Yasiel Puig's walkoff single in the 10th inning. Overall, Cleveland is 17-1 versus the Tigers this year and has outscored them 109-38.

Cleveland is one win shy of its best streak against an opponent, having won 17 straight against Baltimore in 1954. The Tigers, with the worst record in the majors at 45-106, matched their longest losing streak against an opponent - they also dropped 16 in a row to Minnesota in 2002-03.

Mike Clevinger (11-3, 2.68 ERA) starts for the Indians at Progressive Field in the series finale. He is 10-1 with a 2.02 ERA, 118 strikeouts and 23 walks over his last 14 starts.

Daniel Norris (3-12, 4.62 ERA) will start for Detroit before being relieved by Drew VerHagen. They combined for seven shutout innings in their most recent time-share outing on Sept. 14 at Baltimore.

MAGIC MEN

With the Braves closing in on their second consecutive NL East crown, a marquee pitching matchup in Atlanta features All-Star rookie Mike Soroka (12-4, 2.57 ERA) against Aaron Nola (12-5, 3.62) and the wild card-contending Phillies.

Atlanta has lost three in a row for the first time since July 16-18, but still leads the division by nine games and can reduce its magic number to one with a win. Soroka has the third-lowest ERA in the majors, but a 4.82 mark in two starts versus Philadelphia this year.

WAITING

Twins outfielder Max Kepler has missed four straight games with left shoulder soreness. The leadoff man has 36 home runs and 90 RBIs for the AL Central leaders.

''The more we can stay away from him in the near term probably the better, but that doesn't mean he's still completely out of the order,'' manager Rocco Baldelli said.

Minnesota opens its final regular-season home series when Kyle Gibson (13-7, 4.76 ERA) starts against Royals lefty Mike Montgomery (3-9, 4.70).
