Cincinnati Reds at Milwaukee Brewers [8:05 PM ET]

Reds (-115, O/U 8.5): Cincy phenom Johnny Cueto lived up to his lofty billing in his major league debut, striking out 10 and getting the win versus Arizona. Cueto dominated the Diamondbacks lineup, allowing only one hit through seven innings. The knock on Cueto was he had great stuff but could be wild at times. He showed no signs of that against Arizona, not walking a single Diamondbacks batter on the day.

Suppan is hoping to have a similar kind of performance against a team he’s traditionally struggled with. While he is 3-2 in 11 career starts versus Cincy, Suppan’s ERA is 6.05 and Reds hitters are batting a healthy .291against him.

Brewers are 7-1 in their last 8 games overall.
The OVER is 9-3-2 in Milwaukee's last 14 games overall.

Cleveland Indians at LA Angels [10:05 PM ET]

Insiders had touted a new changeup for Westbrook in Spring Training, but he ended up scattering 6 hits to Chicago in 7 1/3 innings of work last Thursday, walking 1 and striking out 3. He is 2-5 lifetime against the Angels despite an impressive 3.12 ERA.

The OVER is 6-2-1 in Cleveland's last 9 road games.

Key Injuries - NONE

Angels (-120, O/U 8.5): Ervin Santana was much more successful pitching at Anaheim a year ago, and some insiders believe he may be turning the corner after notching a win away from home in his first start of the season at Minnesota last Thursday. Santana was just 1-10 on the road last year and has already equaled that win total after allowing just 2 runs and 4 hits to the Twins in 6 innings of a 5-4 victory. However, he is winless during his career against the Indians with an 0-5 mark and 7.59 ERA in 5 starts.

Angels are 26-9 in Santana's last 35 home starts.
The OVER is 9-3-1 in Santana's 13 starts.

The Kings had won 4 straight before suffering a 114-92 home loss to the Lakers on Sunday night. They had beaten Denver on the road the night before and played that game without Ron Artest, Brad Miller and Beno Udrih due to injuries. “We ran out of gas,” Sacramento's Kevin Martin said. “They came in here with some rested legs. We played a hard-fought game last night with only seven or eight players. You can’t always say that’s an excuse, but you can just tell we ran out of gas.”

Kings are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 Tuesday games.
Kings are 5-13-1 ATS in the last 19 meetings.

Key Injuries - C Brad Miller (13.4 ppg; leg) is questionable.

Warriors are 6-14 ATS in their last 20 home games.
