Philadelphia Phillies at Cincinnati Reds (7:10 PM ET)
In search of their first consecutive wins of the season, the Phillies are expected to play their second straight games without MVP Ryan Howard, who injured his leg running out a grounder on Wednesday night. EDGE: REDS
Philadelphia starter Jon Lieber is making his first start of the season, after going 9-11 with a 4.93 ERA in 27 starts last year. EDGE: OVER
Cincinnati's Kyle Lohse is coming off one of his best performances of his career, allowing just four hits and striking out a career-high 12 batters in Sunday's 1-0 road win at the Chicago Cubs. EDGE: REDS
The UNDER is 4-1 in the last five meetings in Cincinnati.
San Diego Padres at Colorado Rockies (9:05 PM ET)
San Diego starter Chris Young looks to bounce back after allowing four earned runs, seven hits and issuing five walks in a 9-3 loss to Los Angeles. The loss snapped a streak of 25 straight road starts without a loss. Young has dominated Colorado, going 3-0 with a 2.97 ERA in five starts versus the Rockies. EDGE: PADRES
The Padres had averaged only 3.6 runs in their first 15 games before setting a season high against Arizona - with an 11-6 victory on Thursday. SLIGHT EDGE: UNDER
The UNDER is 4-1-1 in the last six meetings in Colorado.
Seattle Mariners at Los Angeles Angels (10:05 PM ET)
Seattle outfielder Jose Guillen is still angry with the Los Angeles Angels organization after their fall out in 2004 when manager Mike Scioscia replaced him with a pinch runner. He's gone 5-for-13 with a homer and three RBIs since the incident against the Angels. EDGE: MARINERS
The Mariners were outscored 22-11 while getting swept in their three-game series with Minnesota, including a 6-5 defeat Thursday night. EDGE: ANGELS
Los Angeles has dropped six straight after Wednesday's 3-0 loss at Oakland. The Angels haven't scored more than two runs in any game during its losing streak. EDGE: MARINERS & UNDER
The Mariners are 2-8 in the last 10 meetings.
