Sunday Night Baseball: Chicago Showdown Part II
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ESPN has scheduled the White Sox and Cubs again for their Sunday Night Game of the Week and with good reason. These two teams have a strong dislike for each other which makes this one of the best interleague series in all of baseball.

This weekend's series should be a little more intense than usual after the Cubs just stuck it to the Sox last weekend in a 3-0 sweep at Wrigley. The Cubbies came from behind to win a close game on Friday night 4-3. The home team then proceeded to pretty much pound the Sox on Saturday and Sunday 11-7 and 7-1. With those three wins the Cubs have now won 9 of the last 10 meetings with the Sox dating back to July of 2006.

Slated to start for the White Sox on Sunday night is veteran Mark Buehrle. Buehrle has produced double digit win totals for the White Sox in seven straight seasons and he looks like he is well on his way for 10 or more wins in 2008. Overall Buehrle is 5-6 on the season with a 4.04 ERA and a WHIP of 1.31. However, in his last four starts he has been nearly unhittable. During that stint he has gone eight innings in each outing. He has a 3-0 record and a paltry 1.36 ERA over that four game span. He is 8th in the A.L. in total innings pitched this season with 104.2. In Buehrle's last five starts he has allowed an average of just 1.6 runs per game. In Comiskey Park he is 2-2 with an ERA of 3.46 and his opponents are hitting just .224. The Cubs have knocked Buehrle around pretty good, however, as he is just 3-4 with an ERA above 5.00.

The White Sox offense takes a hit in this series as 1B Paul Konerko is still on the 15-day disabled list with a strained oblique muscle. He missed last weekend's series and isn't expected back until next weekend at the earliest. Konerko had been one of the White Sox's top hitters against the Cubs with 14 career homers.

The Chicago Cubs will send recently recalled left-hander Sean Marshall to the mound to face the Sox on Sunday. In his first start since being recalled, Marshall pitched last Tuesday vs. Baltimore and promptly got shelled. He allowed eight base runners in just 4.2 innings. Marshall allowed four earned runs in that stint and the Cubs lost 7-5. That loss ended the Cubs 14-game home winning streak. He began the year at Iowa before he was recalled April 9 and posted a 4.15 ERA in 13 relief appearances. He had a save and no decisions before he was sent back to Iowa in early May. Marshall shouldn't get too comfortable in the clubhouse as this will most likely be his last start as Carlos Zambrano is scheduled to come off the D.L. and resume his spot in the rotation. Marshall has had some success vs. his cross town rival going 1-1 with a 2.92 lifetime ERA vs. the Sox.

Statistically these two teams basically mirror each other as they are both in the top 10 in runs scored with the Cubs second at 430 runs while the Sox are eighth with 373 runs. The Cubbies have the advantage in batting average as they stand at .284 as a team which is the best in the Bigs. The White Sox are 11th in team average at .263. While the Cubs might have the advantage at the plate over the White Sox, it's the South-Siders who hold the ever so small advantage on the mound. The Sox are second in the majors in team ERA at 3.46 while the Cubs are fourth with a 3.68 team ERA. Ironically these two clubs are tied at fifth in team batting average against at .245.

Home field advantage could be the difference here as the Sox are 24-11 at home this year while the Cubs are just 16-20 away.

Will the Sox get some much needed revenge after last week's sweep at the hands of their rivals or will the Cubs continue their recent domination of their south side counterparts? Either way, it will provide some very good drama on Sunday night.

Streaking Pitchers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Streaking

Dan Haren, Arizona Diamondbacks (8-4, 3.04)

Haren hasn't lost a step since leaving the Oakland A's. Haren ranks 11th in MLB and seventh in the NL with a sizzling 3.04 ERA. He is also 2-0 with a solid 1.35 ERA and 18 strikeouts in his last three contests.

The right-hander is coming off a dominating performance versus the league-leading Boston Red Sox in which he tossed seven scoreless innings and surrendered just two hits.

The Diamondbacks are 5-0 in Haren's last five starts, while Florida is a miserable 1-10 in Olsens last 11 starts versus the NL West.

John Lackey, Los Angeles Angels (5-1, 1.57)

Lackey is putting together the best season of his six-year MLB career and he has the statistics to back it up. Since missing the start of the campaign with a tricep ailment, the right-hander has dominated his competition.

Lackey has 45 strikeouts in just eight starts and has not surrendered more than four earned runs in a contest this season. He is 3-0 with a 1.57 ERA in his last three starts and is 3-1 on the road with an equally impressive 1.80 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP.

The Angels are 5-1 in Lackey's last six starts against the NL West. They are also 9-3 in their last 12 meetings versus the Dodgers.



Slumping

Bronson Arroyo, Cincinnati Reds (4-7, 6.52)

Arroyo's skills have steadily diminished since a strong 2006 campaign, his first in Cincinnati. The right-hander is 0-2 with a lofty 10.80 ERA in his last three starts. He surrendered 11 hits, 10 earned runs and three homers in Tuesday's 14-1 setback to the lowly Toronto Blue Jays.

The veteran pitcher, winless in his last three road starts, has been atrocious, amassing a mediocre 3-3 record with an embarrassing 7.99 ERA and 2.02 WHIP.

The Reds are 6-23 in Arroyo's last 29 road starts and are 4-10 in their last 14 trips to Progressive Field.

Joe Blanton, Oakland Athletics (4-10, 4.58)

Home field hasn't been very kind to Joe Blanton. The veteran righty is just 2-7 with a 3.74 ERA at McAfee Coliseum. Blanton managed to pick up his second home win this season on Tuesday, but tossed a season-high 119 pitches in the process. The right-hander has thrown more than 300 pitches in his last three outings.

Blanton is just 1-2 in his last three starts with a 7.02 ERA. He has also surrendered at least one HR in each of his last seven starts.

The right-hander is 1-1 with a 3.97 career ERA against the Giants. San Fran is 5-0 in left-hander Jonathan Sanchez's last five road starts

In his last 22 innings on the hill, Looper has given just five runs, going 2-0 with one no-decision over that stretch. The no-decision was at home against the Royals.

Overall, the Angels are 6-2 in games with Lackey on the mound. Lackey's one loss came on the road but he's 3-1 with a 1.80 ERA away from home. As dominant as Lackey has been in 2008, he's been just as good when facing the Dodgers over his career. In six starts against LA, Lackey is 4-1 with an impressive 1.41 ERA. All eight of Lackey's starts this year have gone UNDER the total.

Lowe went 3-1 in those games, allowing seven runs over 27.1 innings. Lowe has started 12 games in his career against the Angels, going 6-6 with a solid 3.29 ERA. However, Lowe was hammered in his most recent appearances versus the Angels, giving up 10 hits and seven runs in just five innings of work. The UNDER is 5-2 in Lowe's last seven starts.

Philadelphia Phillies at Texas Rangers [6:05 PM ET]

Phillies (-120, O/U 11): After winning five of six starts, Jamie Moyer has dropped his last two decisions. He hasn't pitched awful in either game but the Phillies only provided him with two runs of support. Things could be evening out for Moyer, who was helped out by the Phillies scoring 56 runs in his five prior starts. Moyer has been excellent away from home this year, going 4-2 with a 2.94 ERA. He's also experienced success against Texas with a 14-7 career record versus the Rangers. The UNDER is 4-0 in Moyer's last four starts.

Phillies are 2-9 in their last 10 games overall.
The UNDER is 6-2 in Philadelphia's last 8 games overall.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 5 (UNDER - Total Play of the Day)

Rangers: Eric Hurley has started three games for the Rangers and they've come out on the wrong end every time. Hurley has one loss and two no-decisions but he has pitched pretty well in his last two starts, allowing just four runs over 11 innings. The Rangers didn't do much to help Hurley out in those games, scoring a combined five runs. The UNDER has a slight 2-1 advantage in Hurley's three starts this year.

Rangers are 9-4 in their last 13 interleague home games.
The OVER is 8-2 in Texas' last 10 games as a home underdog.

Key Injuries - C Gerald Laird (.306; hamstring) is on the 15-day DL.

PROJECTED SCORE: 4



Chicago Cubs at Chicago White Sox [ESPN | 8:05 PM ET]

Cubs: Sean Marshall makes his second start for the Cubs this season in hopes it goes much better than his first outing, where he gave up seven hits and four runs to the Orioles. The one bright spot for Marshall was he struck out seven while allowing just one walk. Marshall is 1-1 in two career starts versus the White Sox to go along with a strong 2.92 ERA. In 14 games as a starter and relief pitcher this season Marshall has an ERA of 5.40.

Cubs are 8-3 in the last 11 meetings.

Key Injuries - OF Reed Johnson (.271; back) is on the 15-day DL.
OF Alfonso Soriano (.283; broken hand) is out at least 6 weeks.

PROJECTED SCORE: 4

In his last two outings, Buehrle has allowed just three runs over 16 innings pitched. He's had a tough time against the Cubs, going 3-4 with a 5.10 ERA in nine career starts versus Chicago. While Buehrle has pitched well at home this season, the OVER is 3-1 in his last four starts at U.S. Cellular Field.

White Sox are 14-2 in their last 16 home games.

Atlanta at Toronto (-145, 8 1/2)

After years of rotation stability, the Braves are seeing how the other half lives this season. Injuries have forced three rookies - Jair Jurrjens, Jorge Campillo and Charlie Morton - into the rotation along with today's starter Jo-Jo Reyes, who had just over 50 innings of big-league experience before this season. His last outing wasn't pretty, either, when he gave up four runs to the Brewers early and was chased after just 2 1/3 innings.

Meanwhile, it's been an up-and-down year for Toronto's A.J. Burnett. He was lights out in his last start, allowing just one run over eight innings in a win over Cincinnati, but he has also been rocked for eight earned runs in two of his last four starts as his name continues to come up in trade rumors.

Pick: Over


Arizona at Florida (+110, 8)

The Diamondbacks have slipped since beginning the season on a crazy tear, but Danny Haren is one guy who hasn't cooled off yet. He has allowed just one run over his last 14 innings of work and has a 84 to 17 strikeout-to-walk ratio heading into today's game.

Through a tough month of June, Haren kept the D-Backs above water by going 3-0 with a 1.59 ERA to help Arizona to wins in all five of his starts.

"I tend to be streaky," he said. "That's not necessarily a good thing. Even though I tend to be streaky over my career, even when I have bad games I usually can keep the team in the game. I can at least try to throw up a quality start if I'm not out there feeling my best."

Pick: Arizona

SCOREBOARD
Monday, June 30

Boston at Tampa Bay (7:10 p.m.). The top two teams in the AL East face off.

STARS
Saturday

- Jason Bay, Pirates, homered with two outs in the 13th inning to give Pittsburgh a 4-3 victory over Tampa Bay.

- Miguel Cabrera, Tigers, hit a two-run double in the bottom of the ninth to give Detroit a 7-6 win over the Rockies.

- Carlos Quentin, White Sox, led off the bottom of the seventh with a tiebreaking homer to help the White Sox beat the Cubs 6-5.

- Tim Lincecum, Giants, struck out 11 and allowed five hits in seven innings, helping San Francisco snap a seven-game losing streak to Oakland with a 1-0 victory.

NO NO-NO

Jered Weaver and Jose Arredondo combined to no-hit the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday night, but the Angels became the fifth team in modern major league history to win a game in which they didn't get a hit. It was only the fifth such game since 1900, and first since Boston's Matt Young in 1992, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

SHOWING UP

The game between Baltimore and Washington drew a Nationals Park-record 39,479 fans, but less than half remained after a 63-minute rain delay in the sixth inning. The Orioles went on for a 9-1 victory.

EVEN

Miguel Cabrera hit a two-run double in the bottom of the ninth and Detroit overcame Todd Jones' blown save to beat the Colorado Rockies 7-6 and bring its record to .500 for the first time this season. The Tigers have won four straight and 14 of 17.

ON A ROLL

The Yankees' Andy Pettitte allowed only two solo homers in six neat innings, winning his fourth start in a row, 3-2 over the Mets. The left-hander improved to 6-0 with a 3.54 ERA in eight outings since a May 17 loss to Santana at Yankee Stadium.

BACK ON TRACK

Brandon Webb returned to his All-Star form, striking out eight and giving up two runs in six innings as the Diamondbacks beat the Florida Marlins 6-2. Webb (12-4) gave up 11 earned runs in his previous two starts, both losses.

LONG TIME COMING

Pittsburgh's John Van Benschoten, recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis before the Pirates' 4-3 win over Tampa Bay in 13 innings Saturday, earned his second career victory and first since September 10, 2004, against Houston. The right-hander improved his career record to 2-12.

SNAPPED

Arizona beat Florida for the first time in five tries this season, 6-2 Saturday night.
- Manny Parra allowed two hits in seven innings to win his sixth straight start and help the Milwaukee Brewers beat Minnesota 5-1 and end the Twins' 10-game winning streak. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Kansas City is the first team since the Oakland A's in 1994 to have a 12-game losing streak and a span of 11 wins in 12 games in the same season.
- Rick Ankiel hit a two-run home run and St. Louis halted Kansas City's six-game winning streak with a 5-1 victory.

SUDDEN IMPACT

St. Louis improved to 4-0 in the four starts Mitchell Boggs (3-0) has made since being called up on June 6 from Triple-A Memphis, including a 5-1 win over Kansas City on Saturday.

POWERPHILS

Chase Utley and Ryan Howard hit 400-foot home runs only pitches apart in the third inning, both ending homerless droughts, and the Phillies went on to an 8-6 victory over the Texas Rangers on a rainy Saturday night. It was Utley's first homer in 12 games, and Howard's first in nine.

ALMOST THERE

Texas' 8-6 loss to Philadelphia prevented the Rangers from moving two games over .500 for the first time under second-year manager Ron Washington. Texas (41-41) has gotten one game over .500 six times this season, and has lost the next game each time-three times in the last week.

STINGY

Oakland's Justin Duchscherer lowered his ERA from 1.99 to 1.91 and became the majors' ERA leader in a 1-0 loss to San Francisco. He has allowed two or fewer earned runs in 12 of his 13 starts, but picked up his first loss this year at home in the Coliseum (6-1).

IT'S BEEN A WHILE

Seattle's Carlos Silva won for the first time in 13 starts, beating the San Diego Padres 4-2 on Saturday night. Silva (4-9) snapped his career-high nine-game losing streak, the longest in the majors this season.

INTERLEAGUE BLUES

San Diego's 4-2 loss to Seattle was the Padres' season-high seventh straight, and 12th in 14 games, all against the American League. The Padres dropped to 3-14 in interleague play, worst in the majors. At 32-50, they're tied with the Washington Nationals for the second-worst mark in the bigs.

NO-HIT LOSERS

The Angels' Jered Weaver and Jose Arredondo joined an exclusive list of pitchers who have allowed no hits and lost after the Dodgers won 1-0 on Saturday night. Other no-hit losers were: Boston's Matt Young in 1992, Andy Hawkins of the Yankees in 1990, Steve Barber and Stu Miller of Baltimore in 1967, and Ken Johnson of Houston in 1964.

STRONG IN DEFEAT

The Cubs' Derrek Lee was 5-for-5 with three RBIs in a 6-5 loss to the White Sox.

THE HARD WAY

The Reds' Johnny Cueto (6-8) went 6 1/3 innings in a 5-0 win over Cleveland on Saturday, but had to earn it. He struck out Sal Fasano with the bases loaded to end the second inning, left two runners stranded in both the fourth and sixth, and got key double plays in the first and fifth.

OUCH!

Washington outfielder Lastings Milledge hurt his right groin while chasing a ball hit by Alex Cintron in the third inning and was placed on the 15-day disabled list during Baltimore's 9-1 victory.

STATS

The Braves' Tim Hudson surrendered homers to Vernon Wells and Rod Barajas and the Blue Jays beat the Braves 9-5 on Saturday, dropping Hudson to 1-5 this season when he gives up a home run. Hudson has allowed just 20 homers in his past 331 innings.
- Yankees closer Mariano Rivera has saved 54 of Andy Pettitte's 210 career wins, the second-highest total by a pair of major league pitchers since saves became an official stat in 1969, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Hall of Famer Dennis Eckersley saved 55 victories for Bob Welch.
- Houston rallied from 4-0 and 9-6 deficits to beat Boston 10-9.

SPEAKING

"Any loss, no matter what, is tough. I'm sure you guys are going to eat this up a lot more than I am. I don't call it a no-hitter for me. I only went six innings."-Jered Weaver after the Los Angeles Angels held the Dodgers hitless, but lost 1-0 on Sunday.

"I strike out 100 or more times a year, so three is not any insurmountable challenge."-Houston's Lance Berkman who struck out three times before hitting a two-run double in the eighth inning to lift the Astros over Boston 10-9.

SEASONS
June 30

1908-At 41 years, 3 months, Cy Young of the Boston Red Sox pitched the third no-hitter of his career, an 8-0 win over the New York Highlanders.

1978-Willie McCovey became the 12th player in major league history to hit 500 home runs. His milestone shot off Atlanta's Jamie Easterly wasn't enough, as the Braves beat the San Francisco Giants 10-5 in the second game of a doubleheader at Fulton County Stadium.

1995-Eddie Murray of the Cleveland Indians became the second switch-hitter and the 20th player in baseball history to reach 3,000 hits when he singled against the Minnesota Twins. Murray joined Pete Rose, the career hits leader with 4,256, as the only switch-hitters to get 3,000.

2005-Kevin Mench hit a career-high three homers and Mark Teixeira homered twice as the Texas Rangers matched a club record with eight home runs in an 18-5 rout of the Los Angeles Angels.

Sunday's Six-Pack:
Six toughest college football schedules for '08

-- Washington-- Huskies have new AD, and Willingham has to make a bowl to keep his job. Good luck.

-- Arkansas-- Welcome to the SEC, Bobby Petrino.

-- Georgia-- Stafford needs to become an elite QB this year.

-- Vanderbilt-- Their schedule would be easier if they played themselves; that made more sense before I typed it.

-- Oregon State-- Non-league games at Penn State and Utah.

-- UCLA-- Looks like Pac-10 and SEC must be best leagues.
