Weekly Total Talk

Best Western

The Angels and Mariners kick off a four-game series at T-Mobile Park (formerly Safeco Field), and the Mariners are hoping that their pitching will be a little better. In the final two games of the series against the Texas Rangers they allowed 19 runs for a pair of 'over' results. The Halos know all about over results, cashing in four consecutive games overall, as well as four straight on the road. In the most recent four-game set in Anaheim on April 18-21, the over connected in three of the four games. However, in the earlier two-game mini series in Seattle, the under was 2-0.

This game features a battle of two left-handers, as Tyler Skaggs toes the slab for the Angels, and rookie LHP Yusei Kikuchi takes the ball for the Mariners. On a side note, this will also be the first meeting in the United States between Kikuchi and Shohei Ohtani. The two attended the same high school back in Japan. Kikuchi will make a traditional start, too, as he has had an opener every fifth starter as the team looks to manage his workload.

The over is 4-0 in the past four inside the division for the Angels. However, the under is an impressive 8-1-2 in the past 11 starts for Skaggs, including 5-1 in his past six on the road against teams with a losing record. The under is 3-1-2 in his past six starts on the road overall. For the Mariners, the over is 4-1 in the past five at home, and 10-2 in the past 12 at home vs. LHP. In addition, the over is 13-4 in the past 17 overall vs. LHP. For Kikuchi, the over is 4-0-1 in the past five home outings, and 9-1-1 in his past 11 starts overall. The over is 5-0 in Skaggs' past five against the Mariners, and 4-0 in his past four in Seattle. However, the under is 4-1 in the past five meetings overall in Seattle.

Looking Ahead

Thursday, May 30

It's a lefty on lefty matchup for the Red Sox and Yankees, as LHP Chris Sale and LHP JA Happ lock horns. The under is 3-0-1 in Boston's past four on the road, and 4-1-1 in their ;ast six on the road vs. LHP. In addition, the under is an impressive 8-0 in the past eight against teams with a winning overall mark. The under has also hit in five of Sale's past six outings as he has rounded into form after a rough start. For the Yankees, the under is 7-1-1 in the past nine games at home, including 6-1-1 in the past eight at home vs. LHP. The under is 4-1-1 in the past six against winning teams, too, but the over is 7-2-2 in their past 11 overall. The over is also 9-4-1 in Happ's past 14 starts overall.

The Indians travel to meet the White Sox in the Windy City, and the over has cashed in four straight for the Tribe, and four in a row on the road, too. The under has dominated in starts by RHP Carlos Carrasco, however, going 7-1 in his past eight starts when working on four days of rest. The under is also 7-2 in his past nine outings against the White Sox, while going 8-3-1 in the past 12 meetings between these teams overall in Chicago. The under is 4-1 in Chicago's past five at home, 4-1 in the past five inside the division and 4-1 in the past five vs. RHP, too.

Wind Report
The wind won't play a factor in any of the games on Thursday, with the forecast calling for winds of 9 mph or less. The only trouble spot overall will be in the Bronx, as the Red Sox-Yankees game is threatened by a 70 percent or greater chance of rain.


Friday, May 31

The over has dominated for the Cubs recently, while it's all about the under for the Cardinals lately.

The over is 7-1 in Chicago's past eight overall, and 4-1 in their past five games inside the NL Central.

Wind Report
The wind will be blowing out to the left-center field power alley at SunTrust Park for the Tigers-Braves interleague series battle. The Indians and White Sox continue their series, and the winds will be blowing out steadily at 10 mph to left field. Those are the only weather trouble spots, as precipitation is not in the forecast at any of the venues, and the winds are 9 mph or less at all other parks.

STREAKING AND SLUMPING STARTERS

STREAKING

Hyun-Jin Ryu, Los Angeles Dodgers (7-1, 1.65 ERA, $350): There is no hotter pitcher in baseball than Ryu. He had a “rough” outing last time out and his ERA and WHIP over his last three starts are both 0.86. The South Korean southpaw is also limiting opponents to a .223 on base percentage. Heck, he has allowed just four walks all season. Ryu will look to keep it rolling when he and the Dodgers host the Mets tonight. Los Angeles is currently a big -270 favorite with a total of 8.5.

SLUMPING

Kyle Freeland, Colorado Rockies (2-6, 6.71 ERA, $-279): It’s been tough to watch Freeland on the mound this season a year after he looked like one of the best pitchers in the NL. It’s been tough all season long for the lefty, but the last three starts have been particularly bad. He’s been roughed up to the tune of a 10. 03 ERA and a 2.23 WHIP while surrendering a .426 on base percentage. Freeland will look to get back on track when the Rockies host the Diamondbacks tonight.


3 STRIKES

HOME RUN HAPP

One of our favorite whipping boys takes the mound as one of sports’ greatest rivalries resumes tonight as J.A. Happ and the Yankees host the Red Sox. Happ’s first full season in pinstripes hasn’t gone as exactly to plan thanks to a 5.09 ERA, but his problem has been mostly keeping the ball in the park. The lefty has already surrendered 14 home runs in his 11 starts this season, including five in his past three starts. A guy like J.D. Martinez is +340 to hit a home run tonight.

ONE-SIDED RIVALRY

Carlos Carrasco has dominated the White Sox over the past three seasons. The Indians’ right-hander is 7-1 with a 1.08 ERA and a 0.69 WHIP in 10 games against the division rival Pale Hose over that stretch. That includes 12 innings of right-hit shutout ball this season. It’s no surprise Cleveland is a healthy -198 road favorite for tonight’s matchup, so maybe consider the Tribe on the runline at a much more reasonable -120.

Giants snap 7-game losing streak with 3-1 win over Marlins
May 30, 2019
By The Associated Press

MIAMI (AP) Brandon Crawford hit a tiebreaking two-run double in the eighth inning, and the San Francisco Giants broke a seven-game losing streak by rallying past the Miami Marlins 3-1 Thursday.

San Francisco's Tyler Beede, recalled before the game from Triple-A Sacramento, allowed one run in six innings to lower his ERA in four appearances to 7.82. Three relievers completed a seven-hitter.

The Giants averted a series sweep against the team with the National League's worst record, and won with six hits. They trailed 1-0 in the seventh when Crawford doubled and scored on a single by Mike Yastrzemski, who earned his first career RBI.

With the score 1-all, Adam Conley (1-5) walked pinch hitter Buster Posey in the eighth. Brandon Belt followed with a broken-bat single, and Evan Longoria walked to load the bases. Crawford greeted Wei-Yin Chen with a ground-rule double for a 3-1 lead.

Reyes Moronta (2-4) worked a scoreless seventh. Will Smith pitched a perfect ninth for his 13th save.

Sandy Alcantara pitched six innings, singled home the Marlins' lone run and worked around two hits, five walks and a hit batsman.

CARDINALS 5, PHILLIES 3

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Dakota Hudson tossed six effective innings, Jedd Gyorko hit a two-run homer and St. Louis beat Philadelphia.

Marcell Ozuna, Matt Wieters and Matt Carpenter also went deep for the Cardinals, who avoided their first sweep against Philadelphia since 2006.

Hudson (4-3) allowed four hits and one run in his fourth straight quality start. Jordan Hicks got the last three outs for his 11th save in 12 tries after three relievers worked two innings.

Phillies starter Jerad Eickhoff (2-3) gave up four runs and eight hits in 6 1/3 innings. Bryce Harper and Rhys Hoskins had RBI hits and Cesar Hernandez added an RBI fielder's choice grounder for Philadelphia.

ROCKIES 11, DIAMONDBACKS 10, 10 INNINGS

DENVER (AP) - Daniel Murphy hit an RBI single in the 10th inning to lead Colorado to a victory over Arizona.

The Rockies swept the four-game series and extended their winning streak to five games. Colorado's last four wins at home have come on walk-offs by different players.

Trevor Story reached on a one-out double off Yoshihisa Hirano (0-2) and moved to third on a groundout by David Dahl. Arizona intentionally walked Nolan Arenado, and Murphy lined a single to left that scored Story.

Murphy finished with three hits and three RBIs, and Story had a career-high four hits. Ian Desmond also homered. Seunghwan Oh (3-1) pitched the top of the 10th and got the win.

Eduardo Escobar, Christian Walker and pitcher Taylor Clarke hit home runs for Arizona, which failed to hold the late lead and dropped its fourth straight.

RAYS 14, TWINS 3

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Austin Meadows drove in four runs to back the pitching of Charlie Morton, who remained unbeaten, as Tampa Bay beat major league-leading Minnesota.

Meadows delivered a three-run double in a six-run third inning against starter Martin Perez (7-2). He also singled home a run in the fourth, when the Rays scored five more times to make it 11-0.

Tampa Bay's winning streak is its longest since the team won eight straight in August last year.

Morton (6-0) limited the Twins to two hits before Luis Arraez doubled and scored on Ehire Adrianza's two-out single in the fifth.

Brandon Lowe had three RBIs, Ji-Man Choi hit a two-run homer and Christian Arroyo, Willy Adames, Travis d'Arnaud and Avisail Garcia also drove in runs for the Rays.

Perez allowed a season-high six runs and six hits over 2 2/3 innings for the Twins.

BREWERS 11, PIRATES 5

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Mike Moustakas had two homers among his four hits and Milwaukee beat Pittsburgh.

Yasmani Grandal also homered and had four hits to help the Brewers win for the third time in four games.

Moustakas hit a two-run shot in the first inning, and his solo shot in the third extended Milwaukee's lead to 4-1.

Grandal followed Moustokas' second homer with a solo shot to back Chase Anderson (3-0), who gave up two runs and six hits with five strikeouts in five innings.

Colin Moran homered in the fourth for Pittsburgh. Josh Bell pushed his hitting streak to 10 games.

Joe Musgrove (3-6) allowed five runs and 11 hits in six innings.

ROYALS 4, RANGERS 2

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Jorge Soler and Adalberto Mondesi homered and Jakob Junis allowed two runs in six innings as Kansas City snapped a three-game losing streak with a win over Texas.

Junis (4-5) allowed four hits, including homers by Shin-Soo Choo and Nomar Mazara, and two walks for his first win since May 1. The victory follows three losses and a no-decision.

Ian Kennedy worked a perfect ninth inning for his third save, and the first for Kansas City since May 1.

The Royals improved to 8-20 away from Kauffman Stadium, but still have the worst road record in the majors.

Mike Minor (5-4) allowed three runs on seven hits in five-plus innings.

WHITE SOX 10, INDIANS 4

CHICAGO (AP) - Yonder Alonso and Jose Abreu each hit a two-run homer, and Chicago beat Cleveland for its season-high fourth straight victory.

Alonso also doubled and scored against his former team, helping Chicago move within one game of Cleveland for second place in the AL Central. Eloy Jimenez had three hits and two RBIs, and Manny Banuelos (3-4) pitched 5 1/3 innings of three-run ball for his first win in a month.

Carlos Carrasco (4-6) matched a season high by allowing six runs and 10 hits in 6 1/3 innings of his third consecutive loss.

Jordan Luplow went deep for Cleveland, and Carlos Santana drove in two runs in the opener of a four-game series.

Friday’s List of 13: Random stuff with weekend here…….

13) Oh Canada is one of my favorite songs; when I got married many, many years ago, we had to pay the organist $75, whether she played at the wedding or not. This was 1992, $75 was a decent payday. The $75 annoyed me a great deal; it really irritated me. I don’t even think the priest got $75. Organists must have a good union.

Anyway, we’re sitting there on the altar after Communion and the organist is earning her $75 and all of a sudden, I’m hearing her play Oh Canada, and there are murmurs in the church. I had no idea this was going to happen. Murmurs turned to laughter. She played it well.

The marriage didn’t go very well, but that was definitely the highlight of the wedding. Got a text reminding me of that during that national anthem in Toronto last night. Still makes me laugh.

12) Raptors 118, Warriors 109— Siakam shot 14-17 from floor, scored 32 points with five assists for Raptors. Green/Bell/Iguodala shot combined 6-18 from floor as Toronto takes 1-0 series lead on its home floor.

Dell Curry played the last three years of his 16-year career for Toronto, so of course Drake shows up for this game wearing a Dell Curry Raptors’ jersey.

12) Weird stat of the day from The Sporting News: This is the 36th consecutive NBA Finals series with at least one former teammate of Shaquille O’Neal. Danny Green and Shaq were teammates on the Cavaliers nine years ago.

10) Back in January, when the St Louis Blues were floundering near the bottom of the NHL, a courageous bettor wagered $400 on the Blues (250-1) to win the Stanley Cup. He is three wins away from a big payday. Notable that he didn’t hedge his bet before the finals to guarantee a profit. Finals series is tied, 1-1.

9) You can’t make this stuff up: A Jacksonville couple was arrested this week on charges of animal cruelty after a police officer rescued a pig from the couple’s steaming hot Lexus that was parked in a **** parking lot. Temperatures were in the high 90’s at the time.

I mean, not only do you have a pig in a car, but you have a damn Lexus. Why?

8) All-time record for home runs in a month:
— 1,119 in August 2017
— 1,101 in June 2017

So far this May, entering Thursday’s games, there have been 1,069 homers hit.

7) Baseball stuff:
— Detroit optioned OF Victor Reyes back to AAA.
— Red Sox put P Hector Velasquez (back) on the IL.
— Cincinnati optioned P Lucas Sims back to AAA.
— Marlins optioned P Elieser Hernandez back to AAA.

Jake Odorizzi’s last six starts for Minnesota:
— 35.2 IP, allowed 3 runs, 39 baserunners, Twins won all six games.

6) Cleveland Indians didn’t hit a triple in their first 54 games; they hit three of them Wednesday, in their 55th game.

5) MLB Network couldn’t wait to show Boston-New York games Thursday/Friday, but horrible weather postponed Thursday’s game in the Bronx- it’ll be made up August 3rd as part of a doubleheader. I’m guessing that twinbill will be on national TV.

National TV outlets should try showing more Astros’ games; they have a dome. No rainouts.

4) This didn’t sound right when I heard it, but apparently, Los Angeles County has more voters than 42 of the other 49 states; they have voters who speak 13 different languages.

3) Lakers-Nets are playing two preseason games in China in October.

2) College basketball transfer portal:
— South Carolina poached 6-9 Micaiah Henry from Tennessee Tech.
— Brad Calipari (John’s son) entered the transfer portal; guess he wants playing time.
— KJ Lawson bolts from Kansas to Tulane; another guy who wants to play.

1) In case you were wondering, people in Finland prefer silence to casual conversation.

Schools and tutors in Finland are now offering courses in casual conversation; ‘It does not come naturally to Finns.’ Some Finns have begun to take lessons, in classrooms or even from private tutors, so they can make conversation in their international business dealings.

Says one Finnish small talk tutor: “Lower your standards; not every conversation you have has to be clever. You can comment on food, any music that is playing, even the weather.”

Who knew that could be a job? Go figure.

LEADING OFF: Rays on a roll, Cubs vs Cards, Red Sox at Yanks
May 30, 2019
By The Associated Press

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

ON A ROLL

Austin Meadows and the Rays have won six games in a row heading into another matchup with major league-leading Minnesota. Meadows drove in four runs Thursday night in a 14-3 rout of the Twins. The young outfielder has multiple hits in five consecutive games, not to mention three doubles, three homers and 11 RBIs during Tampa Bay's longest winning streak since taking eight straight in August last year. Minnesota right-hander Jose Berrios (7-2, 3.20 ERA) attempts to slow the Rays after allowing 13 runs (11 earned) and 29 hits over his last three outings.

The Cubs and Cardinals renew their rivalry in St. Louis, with Yu Darvish (2-3, 5.40 ERA) set to pitch the series opener for first-place Chicago against 2018 All-Star Miles Mikolas (4-5, 4.76). Darvish gave up 12 hits and six runs in a season-high seven innings of an 8-6 win against Cincinnati last time out. Mikolas is 3-0 with a 1.32 ERA in six career appearances, four starts, versus the Cubs. The NL Central foes are set to play at London next season in a two-game series at West Ham's Olympic Stadium on June 13 and 14.

TWO AT THE TOP

It's a matchup of National League division leaders at Dodger Stadium when Jake Arrieta (5-4, 3.60 ERA) pitches the opener of a three-game series for Philadelphia. The 2015 NL Cy Young Award winner is 3-3 with a 3.07 ERA in seven career starts against Los Angeles. Kenta Maeda (6-2, 3.67) is up for the Dodgers.

TRY AGAIN

Beautiful weather is finally forecast for New York, where the first-place Yankees host longtime rival Boston after their scheduled series opener was rained out Thursday night. J.A. Happ (4-3, 5.09 ERA) and Red Sox lefty Chris Sale (1-6, 4.19) were both pushed back a day, and the game will be made up as part of a day-night doubleheader on Aug. 3. New York (36-19) has a half-game lead in the AL East over Tampa Bay. The defending champion Red Sox are 7+ games behind the Yankees at 29-27.

WALK IT OFF

Say one thing for the streaking Rockies, they're certainly giving their fans some fantastic finishes lately. Colorado has won five straight overall, and its past four wins at home have come on walk-offs by different players. Daniel Murphy did the honors Thursday with an RBI single in the 10th inning that gave the Rockies an 11-10 victory and a four-game sweep of NL West rival Arizona. ''It's been really remarkable. It's been a testament to this team,'' Murphy said. ''It's as resilient a group I've ever been a part of.'' Colorado slugger Nolan Arenado is 12 for 27 with four home runs in the last week and is riding a 10-game hitting streak. Up next, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. takes his first swings at Coors Field when the Toronto Blue Jays make an interleague visit.

MAY DAY

Cleveland right-hander Trevor Bauer looks to close out a difficult May on a high note when he pitches against the White Sox. Bauer, who went 12-6 with a career-low 2.21 ERA last year, is 0-3 with a 6.52 ERA in his last five starts. He struck out eight in six innings against Tampa Bay on Sunday, but also threw a wild pitch and hit two batters while allowing three earned runs in the Indians' 6-3 loss. Dylan Covey pitches for Chicago. The 27-year-old right-hander is 0-3 with a 5.75 ERA in his past four starts.
