Streaking
Brett Myers, Philadelphia Phillies (8-10, 4.40)
Myers, who had a short stint in the minors last month, has been pitching like an ace recently. He is 3-0 and has a 0.78 ERA in his last three starts and is 5-1 since rejoining the Phillies’ rotation.
Myers, who is just 2-7 on the road, is 2-1 in his last four road starts and has not relinquished more than three runs in a start in his last eight overall. He is 5-1 all-time on the road against the New York Mets.
The Phillies are 6-1 in Myers’ last seven overall and are 4-1 in his last five road starts against the Mets.
Kevin Millwood, Texas Rangers (8-7, 4.95)
Millwood has just one loss in his last five starts and is 3-0 and has a solid 1.46 ERA in his last three overall.
In his last home start, a victory over the Detroit Tigers, Millwood conceded one earned run in nine innings. He has relinquished just four earned runs and has struck out 13 in his last 24.2 IP and is 1-0 in his last three starts against the Boston Red Sox.
The Rangers are 16-5 in Millwood’s last 21 home starts and are 8-3 in his last 11 starts against the AL East.
Slumping
Jair Jurrjens, Atlanta Braves (11-9, 3.59)
Jurrjens has just two wins in his last 10 and is 0-1 in his last three with an 8.36 ERA. He has relinquished 13 earned runs in his past 14 IP.
Jurrjens is 0-3 in his last four at home and is 0-1 against the Washington Nationals. In his last home start, he surrendered six earned runs and one homer in three IP.
The Braves are 0-4 in Jurrjens’ last four against a club with a losing record and are 0-5 in their last five against the Nationals.
