STREAKING AND SLUMPING STARTERS

STREAKING

Mike Fiers, Oakland Athletics (10-3, 3.46 ERA, $562 ): Fiers is still on fire. The A's right-hander hasn't taken a loss in his last 17 starts, going 8-0 in the span while Oakland is 13-4. During that stretch Fiers has a 2.26 ERA and a WHIP of 1.02.

Fiers and the A's are -192 favorites in the afternoon matchup against the Chicago White Sox. The White Sox have lost four games in a row at home and are 0-7 in their previous seven games against a right-handed starter. The A's are 13-3 in the last 16 meetings in the head to head.

SLUMPING

Tyler Beede, San Francisco Giants (3-6, 5.38 ERA, $675): Don't let that decent profit value fool you, betting on Beede has not been a good investment recently. In his last three starts the right-hander is 0-3 with a 8.16 ERA and a WHIP of 2.30 while giving up six dingers in 14 1-3 innings pitched.

Tonight, Beede and the Giants will host Drew Smyly and the Phillies as +100 'dogs. Smyly has also had his share of struggles this season and was 1-5 with a 8.42 ERA and 1.91 WHIP with the Rangers before being signed by the Phillies mid-July. The O/U is installed at 8.5.



3 STRIKES

FRIARS FREE TO HIT HOMERS

Rockies pitcher Kyle Freeland allows 2.41 homeruns per nine innings pitched, the highest number among all starters in the majors. While a large part of that is due to his struggles at Coors Field where he has a 9.50 ERA and a BAA of .337, his ERA of 4.91 and WHIP of 1.41 on the road don't exactly inspire confidence either.

Freeland and the Rockies will be in San Diego today to face the Padres and starter Cal Quantrill. The Padres have loads of power at the plate with four sluggers having clubbed at least 22 home runs so far this season. The O/U is 9 and the Over has cashed in eight of the last nine meetings between these two sides.

LOOK TO THE OVER

The Dodgers will have Walker Buehler on the mound for tonight's matchup against the Diamondbacks. Buehler is 10-2 with a 3.22 ERA but he has given up eight runs in 10 innings against the D-backs at home this season. Arizona will give the ball to Robbie Ray who has an ERA of 5.09 while allowing seven dingers in his previous four starts.

The Dodgers are fifth in the majors in slugging percentage at home with .827 while Arizona is fourth in slugging on the road at .801. The total has been set at just 7.5, so the Over is definitely worth a look.

ROAD WORRIER

You can't blame Pirates fans if they're a bit worried for today's game in St. Louis, especially with Chris Archer on the mound. Archer is 0-4 with a 7.14 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in nine starts on the road and the Pirates are just 5-21 in their last 26 games overall.

The Cards will start Dakota Hudson (10-6, 3.99 ERA) and they are 11-3 in his previous 14 starts. St. Louis is also 20-8 in the last 28 meetings between the two sides. Betting on the Cardinals to win on the moneyline pays out at -135 on BetAmerica, while taking them on the run line pays out at a tidy +125.

Blue Jays cool off Yanks with 8-2 win
August 9, 2019
By The Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) Todd Frazier clobbered a tying three-run homer and Michael Conforto lined a game-ending single as the New York Mets stormed back in the ninth inning to stun the Washington Nationals 7-6 Friday night for their seventh straight win.

Trailing 6-3, the Mets rallied against Sean Doolittle to win for the 14th time in 15 games at pulsating Citi Field. The Nationals hold the top spot in the NL wild-card race, and the Mets are 1+ games behind them.

Mets rookie Pete Alonso homered in his fourth straight game, hitting his 38th of the season off Stephen Strasburg. J.D. Davis also connected.

Doolittle (6-4) blew his fifth save in 30 chances.

Luis Avila?n (3-0) got two outs for the win.

INDIANS 6, TWINS 2

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Shane Bieber pitched into the eighth inning, Jose Ramirez had three hits and the Indians pulled into a tie with the Twins for the AL Central lead.

Cleveland trailed Minnesota by 11+ games on June 3 before putting together a 41-16 run, the best record in the majors since June 4. The Twins are 30-28 in those games and their division lead finally slipped away with their first four-game losing streak of the season.

Bieber (12-4) allowed a pair of home runs but struck out 11 in seven-plus innings.

Jason Castro and Eddie Rosario homered for Minnesota, which broke its franchise record for home runs in a season with its majors-leading total of 226. Devin Smeltzer (1-2) surrendered six runs in 4 1/3 innings.

BLUE JAYS 8, YANKEES 2

TORONTO (AP) - Brett Gardner lost his cool, and the Yankees lost their nine-game winning streak.

Teoscar Hernandez homered twice, Danny Jansen hit a three-run drive and Randal Grichuk added a two-run shot. Toronto connected three times off homer-prone lefty J.A. Happ (9-7).

Blue Jays rookie Bo Bichette went hitless for the first time in his 12-game career, ending a major league record streak that saw him hit at least one double in nine consecutive games.

Gardner was ejected and had to be restrained from going after home plate umpire Chris Segal in the fourth.

Mike Tauchman and Mike Ford hit solo home runs for the Yankees, who have two or more homers in a season-high eight straight games.

Blue Jays right-hander Sean Reid-Foley (2-2) allowed one run in five innings.

BRAVES 8, MARLINS

MIAMI (AP) - Ronald Acuna Jr. hit a pair of two-run homers for NL East-leading Atlanta, and Julio Teheran extended his scoreless streak against Miami this season to 24 innings before allowing a run in the seventh.

Acuna homered for the fourth game in a row in the fifth inning, and homered again in the ninth to increase his season total to 32. Ozzie Albies went 4 for 5 and hit his 18th homer.

Teheran (7-7) pitched seven innings and departed with a 6-1 lead.

Starlin Castro homered for the Marlins' only run off Teheran in his four outings against them this year. The right-hander's ERA is 0.36 versus Miami and 4.02 against the rest of the majors.

Miami's Caleb Smith (7-6) allowed 10 hits and six runs, both season highs, in 4 2/3 innings.

ASTROS 3, ORIOLES 2

BALTIMORE (AP) - Wade Miley pitched impressively against his former team and Jose Altuve hit a pivotal RBI triple in the seventh inning, leading Houston to its seventh straight victory.

Alex Bregman drove in a run and scored for the Astros, who have won 17 of 20 to open a 10-game lead over Oakland in the AL West.

Miley (11-4) allowed one run and five hits over 5 2/3 innings. The left-hander, who went 10-20 with Baltimore in 2016-17, is 5-0 in nine starts since June 17.

Roberto Osuna got three outs for his 26th save.

Jace Peterson and Stevie Wilkerson homered for the Orioles. Dylan Bundy (5-12) pitched six innings of two-run ball.

BREWERS 6, RANGERS 5

MILWAUKEE (AP) - Eric Thames hit a game-ending homer to lift Milwaukee to the win after Josh Hader blew a save opportunity for the fourth time this season.

Milwaukee opened a 5-2 lead with three runs in the seventh, but Logan Forsythe hit a two-run homer off newly acquired reliever Jake Faria in the eighth and Elvis Andrus' solo shot off Hader tied it at 5 in the ninth.

Hader (2-5) threw a season-high 44 pitches in 1 2/3 innings.

Enter Thames, who hit his 16th homer against Emmanuel Clase (0-1) with two out in the ninth. Thames was mobbed by his teammates at the plate after ending a game that lasted more than 4 hours.

Milwaukee earned its fourth straight win and moved within 2+ games of NL Central-leading Chicago.

REDS 5, CUBS 2

CINCINNATI (AP) - Trevor Bauer fanned 11 batters in his Reds home debut, and Aristides Aquino homered again as Yasiel Puig's replacement.

The Reds' biggest July trade paid off both ways against the NL Central leaders. Cincinnati got Bauer from the Indians as part of a three-team deal last week, sending Puig - one of their hottest hitters at midseason - to Cleveland.

Bauer (10-8) allowed three hits in seven innings, including Nicholas Castellanos' third homer of the series.

Aquino hit a two-run homer off Yu Darvish (4-6), his fourth in eight games as Puig's fill-in. Eugenio Suarez and Joey Votto also connected for Cincinnati.

Raisel Iglesias pitched the ninth for his 23rd save in 26 chances.

RED SOX 16, ANGELS 4

BOSTON (AP) - J.D. Martinez homered twice and just missed hitting a third out of Fenway Park, powering the Red Sox to the runaway win.

Mookie Betts, Rafael Devers and Mitch Moreland also homered for Boston, which is desperately trying to climb back into contention for a wild-card berth after an eight-game losing streak. The Red Sox tagged the Angels for 14 hits and won for the third time in four games.

Albert Pujols hit a three-run homer in the first for the Angels, who have lost eight straight. Jaime Barria (4-6) lost his third straight start.

Marcus Walden (7-1) got the win with 2 1/3 innings of scoreless relief after replacing Brian Johnson in the third inning.

CARDINALS 6, PIRATES 2

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Paul Goldschmidt hit a tiebreaking single in the eighth inning and Marcell Ozuna followed with a two-run homer, lifting St. Louis to the victory.

Goldschmidt's single went under the glove of Pirates shortstop Kevin Newman, scoring Dexter Fowler to break a 2-all tie. Five pitches later, Ozuna drove a 99 mph fastball from Richard Rodriguez (3-5) into the left field bullpen for his second homer in two games.

The rally made a winner out of Carlos Martinez (3-2), who pitched the final 1 1/3 innings as the Cardinals snapped a five-game losing streak.

The Pirates lost their sixth straight to drop to 4-22 since the All-Star break.

ATHLETICS 7, WHITE SOX 0

CHICAGO (AP) - Oakland right-hander Mike Fiers tossed seven sparkling innings to extend his career-best win streak to nine consecutive decisions.

Fiers (11-3) allowed three hits, struck out a season-high eight and walked none. The 34-year-old right-hander also hit two batters, but improved to 9-0 with a 2.12 ERA in 17 starts dating to his no-hitter on May 7 against Cincinnati.

Chad Pinder lined a two-run homer in the A's eighth win in their last 11 games. Matt Chapman and Stephen Piscotty also went deep.

Tim Anderson had two of Chicago's four hits. Ross Detwiler (1-3) permitted two runs in 5 1/3 innings.

TIGERS 5, ROYALS 2

DETROIT (AP) - Edwin Jackson pitched neatly into the seventh inning in his return to Detroit.

The Tigers, who topped Kansas City a day earlier, posted back-to-back wins at home for the first time since they swept the Royals in their first home series of the season. Detroit, which has the worst record in the majors, hadn't won two straight anywhere since a three-game winning streak in Baltimore and Atlanta from May 28-31.

Jackson (2-5) spent the 2009 season with the Tigers, going 13-9 with a 3.62 ERA. Ten years later, he was just as good, allowing one run and four hits in 6 1/3 innings.

Joe Jimenez got one out for his first save.

Kansas City's Whit Merrifield led off the game with his second career inside-the-park homer. Brad Keller (7-12) allowed five runs in six innings.

Saturday’s 6-pack

College football spreads for Labor Day weekend:

— Northwestern vs Stanford (-6.5)

— Virginia Tech (-2.5) vs Boston College

— Boise State vs Florida State (-4.5)

— SMU vs Arkansas State (-3)

— Virginia (-2.5) vs Pittsburgh

— Oregon vs Auburn (-3)

Quote of the Day
“At some point as a quarterback, you have to take a sack. That’s the play. But the guy has a little bit of a gunslinger mentality and likes to let it rip. Obviously, that was a nice one to Preston, but I think we want to play smarter than that in that situation. Not, just let the ball go like we did.”
Dolphins coach Brian Flores, talking about QB Josh Rosen

Saturday’s quiz
Where did Antonio Brown play his college football?

Friday’s quiz
Arizona Cardinals’ coach Kliff Kingsbury played in one NFL game, back in 2005; he played that game for the Jets.

Thursday’s quiz
The Liberty Bowl is played in Memphis every year.

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

Saturday’s List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind……..

13) This week, Toronto rookie Bo Bichette became the first player since 1900 to hit a double in nine straight games, and he did it in his 11th career game. Not a bad start to his career.

12) Patriots 31, Lions 3— Total yardage in this game was 459-93, in a freakin’ preseason game. Neither starting QB played. I’m guessing the home fans weren’t too pleased with this showing.

This is where I remind you that Detroit fired coach Jim Caldwell after consecutive 9-7 seasons, so they could hire New England’s defensive coordinator, who then went 6-10 LY.

Last time the Lions won a playoff game was 1991. No bueno.

11) I still struggle with analyzing NFL exhibition games and figuring out how much they mean; the Ravens never lose them, the Falcons never win one. Outcomes of a lot of the games will be decided by guys who will be bartenders or driving UPS trucks in a few weeks.

Most coaches don’t game plan for exhibition games, but some do; Arizona Cardinals huddled in their game Thursday, but aren’t expected to huddle at all on September 8.

Avoiding injuries and determining who will win the final roster spots are really the most important part of these games.

10) Two years ago, Cleveland Browns went 4-0 in preseason, allowing a total of 29 points. There was a lot of optimism on Lake Erie. Then they went 0-16 in the regular season.

For most part, I would disregard scores of exhibition games; injuries to key people matter, like the Eagles losing their backup QB for six weeks Thursday.

9) Titans 27, Eagles 10— Eagles’ backup QB Nate Sudfeld broke his left (non-throwing) wrist Thursday night; the other two backup QB’s on Philly’s roster are suspects more than prospects, so they better keep oft-injured starter Carson Wentz healthy while Sudfeld’s wrist heals.

8) If any of you play fantasy soccer or are interested in starting to do it, here is an article I recommend, because my godson wrote it and he knows a lot about soccer:

https://www.fanduel.com/theduel/post...n-01dhpnjtft7a

7) Baseball stuff:
— Mets signed 2B Joe Panik, who was cut by the Giants the other day.
— Twins put DH Nelson Cruz (wrist) on IL.

6) Someone bet $10,000 on the Vikings at CG Technology Friday, at 20-1 odds, which is a lot of faith in a team whose $28M a year QB has never won a playoff game.

5) Bill Walton is going to broadcast a White Sox game with Jason Benetti when the Pale Hose go to Anaheim next Friday. They’ve done college basketball games together, but there is lot more dead time in a baseball broadcast. This should be interesting.

4) In case you wondering, Bryce Harper has hit his 204 career home runs off of 159 different pitchers.

3) BYU basketball star Yoeli Childs will miss the first nine games this coming season because of a paperwork screw-up when he declared for the NBA draft last May, then decided to return to BYU after testing the draft waters.

2) This Antonio Brown thing isn’t going well…….according to Mike Silver:

“……..Brown, according to witnesses, typically glances at the screens of several tablets and his smart phone during meetings, distracting himself by engaging in activities which include perusing his bank accounts and “liking” photos on Instagram.”

“the meeting thing isn’t that bad… but the feet, helmet and going dark is an issue.”

1) Chargers’ backup QB Easton Stick has a great name; how many guys you know who are named after an aluminum bat? Stick was 49-3 playing QB at North Dakota State, where he took over for Carson Wentz. He looked good playing ball in Arizona Thursday night.

Weekend Watch
Joe Williams

Saturday, Aug. 10

The Atlanta Braves and Miami Marlins square off in Miami on Saturday evening at 6:10 p.m. ET, and RHP Mike Soroka looks to stay hot against RHP Sandy Alcantara in a battle of All-Star righties. The Braves look to stay hot with Soroka on the hill. Atlanta is 13-0 across the past 13 starts by Soroka when facing a team with a losing record, they're 9-0 in his past nine outings on the road against a losing club and 11-1 in his past 12 inside the National League East Division. They're also 6-1 in his past seven starts on the road, 18-5 in his past 23 starts overall and 4-1 in his past five outings working on four days of rest. Atlanta has posted 16 victories over the past 21 road games against teams with a home winning percentage under .400, too.

For the Marlins, they have won just once in the past seven games overall, while going 1-4 in the past five against teams with a winning overall mark. They're also 20-48 in the past 68 games inside the NL East, too. Miami has also dropped five straight starts against a right-handed starting pitcher, while going 2-11 in the past 13 against a starting pitcher with a WHIP under 1.15. The Marlins have won just seven of the past 26 starts by Alcantara, while going 1-6 in his past seven home outings. They're also 0-4 in his past four inside the division, and 1-7 in the past eight when working on eight days of rest.

Overall, Atlanta has won 35 of the past 51 meetings in this series, while going 54-26 in the past 80 meetings in Miami. While the under is 12-5-1 in the past 18 meetings, the over has connected in five of the past seven in South Florida.

The Cleveland Indians have won the first two games on their key AL Central Division battle with the Minnesota Twins, pulling into a tie for first place. The Twins had a double-digit lead inside the division shortly before the All-Star break. RHP Adam Plutko and RHP Jake Odorizzi will battle on Saturday for first place.

The Indians have managed 12 victories in the past 14 road games, and they're 5-1 in the past six against teams with a winning overall mark. They have also picked up four straight wins on the road vs. RHP, while going 38-15 across the past 53 games, best mark in the majors since mid-June. They have won four straight starts by Plutko on the road, while cashing in seven of his past eight starts overall, including 4-1 in his past five games inside the division.

The Twins have faltered, winning just once in the past six against winning teams. However, they're still 17-5 in the past 22 games played on a Saturday, and 37-15 in the past 52 inside the AL Central. While they're 1-10 in the past 11 in Game 3 of a series, Odorizzi could be the stopper. The Twins have won eight of his past 10 starts at home, while going 5-1 in his past six starts inside the AL Central, and seven of his past 10 outings against teams with a winning record. They're also 15-4 in his past 19 outings overall.

The Arizona Diamondbacks and LHP Alex Young try and tame RHP Kenta Maeda and the Los Angeles Dodgers at Chavez Ravine. The Snakes have won four of the past five, and they're 11-4 in the past 15 road games against a team with a home winning percentage over .600. The Dodgers have won five of the past six vs. LHP, while going 53-22 in the past 75 inside the NL West. They're also a whopping 41-11 in the past 52 games at home. L.A. is 7-3 in the past 10 home outings by Maeda, too, while hitting in six of his past eight against teams with a winning overall record. However, L.A. has managed just one win in the past seven starts by Maeda against the Diamondbacks, and the over is 9-4 in his past 13 vs. Arizona.

Weather Report
The Angels and Red Sox will be squaring off at Fenway Park with a 10-13 mph wind blowing out toward Pesky's Pole in right field. Outside of that game, the winds will be light and variable across all other MLB venues with no chance of precipitation across the board.


Sunday, Aug. 11

The Pittsburgh Pirates use LHP Steven Brault against the St. Louis Cardinals in Sunday's series finale. Brault has no-decisions in four straight outings, and six of his past seven. The Pirates are 0-3 across his past three outings, and 2-5 in his past seven starts overall. In his only start against the Cardinals, Brault allowed six earned runs, nine hits and two walks over 3 2/3 innings in a no-decision on May 12 at Busch Stadium. RHP Miles Mikolas will face the Bucs, and it's good he is at home. He has posted a 2-7 record and 6.34 ERA across 59 2/3 innings in 12 outings on the road, but he is 5-5 with a 1.98 ERA and .230 opponent batting average in 11 home starts.

Colorado Rockies RHP German Marquez will lock horns with San Diego Padres RHP Dinelson Lamet at Petco Park. Unlike many pitchers, Marquez's split solidly favor him on the road. He is 4-2 with a 6.45 ERA in 68 1/3 innings at Coors Field, and 6-3 with a 3.53 ERA in 86 2/3 innings on the road. The opponent is hitting .320 against him at home, and just .209 on the road. While he is 2-0 across two starts against San Diego, he also has a terrible 7.15 ERA and .385 opponent batting average.

As far as Lamet is concerned, this will be just his third outing at home. He is 0-1 with a 6.30 ERA and .250 opponent batting average across 10 innings at Petco. This will be his first appearance against the Rockies this season. His only previous appearance against Colorado came on July 18, 2017 at Coors Field, allowing six runs - five earned - and four hits with four walks across four innings in a 9-7 loss.

The Philadelphia Phillies wrap up their three-game set at Oracle Park against the San Francisco Giants. RHP Jake Arrieta takes ball against rookie LHP Conner Menez in the nationally-televised battle. Arrieta enters 8-8 with a 4.30 ERA, but he hasn't won a start since June 30 in Miami. The Phillies are still a respectable 3-2 over his past five starts, and they're 2-2 in his past four outings on the road. The last time he faced San Francisco was on Aug. 1 in Philly, allowing two runs - one earned - and four hits with a walk and five strikeouts across four innings. It was another no-decision for Arrieta, as he didn't last long enough to qualify for the win.

Weather Report
On Sunday, the only MLB venue which will be affected by the weather is at Oracle Park in San Francisco. The wind will be blowing out from 10-13 mph to straightaway center field. Precipitation will once again stay away across the board.
