      Major League Baseball – Streaking Pitchers

      Streaking Starting Pitchers
      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Thursday’s streaking and slumping pitchers

      Streaking

      Ben Sheets, Milwaukee (13-7, 2.82)

      The Brewers haven't been able to take advantage of the Chicago Cubs' slide over the last couple of weeks, but don't blame Ben Sheets. He hasn't allowed an earned run in three starts (20 innings) and is coming off a complete-game shutout of the Padres in his last trip to the hill.

      Facing heavy chalk all year, Sheets has his supporters up less than two units on the year, though he has helped the under cash in six of his last seven outings.

      Rich Harden, Chicago Cubs (9-2, 1.99)

      Things may finally be turning around for the slumping Cubs. They're scheduled to start Rich Harden, who allowed just two earned runs over four starts before missing his last turn in the rotation due to arm discomfort.

      He left his last outing after allowing just one run through five innings, but he did walk four batters while striking out five.


      Slumping

      Matt Cain, San Francisco (8-11, 3.75)

      Pitching for the Giants means you're fighting an uphill battle every time you take the hill. Lately Cain hasn't done much to help his own cause, giving up 18 hits and nine earned runs over his last two starts.

      He has also walked 14 batters over his last four outings.

          Hot Lines: Thursday's best MLB bets
          ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          Milwaukee Brewers at Philadelphia Phillies (+100, 8 1/2)

          Last season, Ben Sheets and the Milwaukee Brewers blew a large lead in the NL Central. A similar collapse helped the Philadelphia Phillies make the playoffs, and they're going to need more help to qualify again.

          Sheets, whose late-season struggles hurt the Brewers last season, looks to extend a 20-inning scoreless streak when he faces the struggling Phillies in the opener of a four-game series Thursday night.This is a key series for both teams, with Milwaukee (83-63) four games ahead of Philadelphia (79-67) for the NL wild card while trailing the Chicago Cubs by 4 1/2 games in the Central. The Phillies, meanwhile, are 3 1/2 games behind the first-place New York Mets in the East.

          Milwaukee is trying to avoid another letdown after coughing up an 8 1/2-game lead in the Central last summer. The Brewers had a 7 1/2-game lead over Chicago on June 29, 2007, but Sheets (13-7, 2.82 ERA) went 3-2 with a 5.72 ERA in his last eight starts and they ended up missing the playoffs.

          It helps that Sheets is showing no signs of breaking down this year, going 2-0 without allowing a run in his last three outings.The veteran right-hander earned his career-high 13th win Saturday night, throwing a five-hitter in Milwaukee's 1-0 victory over San Diego. He struck out seven and walked one en route to his fifth complete game of the season.

          After a terrible 10-game homestand, the Brewers are starting a 10-game, 11-day road trip.

          "A change of scenery does people good, too," Yost said. "Now we'll go elsewhere and see if we can't get on a big roll."

          Pick: Phillies



          Chicago Cubs at St. Louis Cardinals (+115, 7 1/2)

          The way the Chicago Cubs have played of late, they can certainly use a healthy and effective Rich Harden down the stretch.Coming off some extra rest, Harden looks for his fifth consecutive winning decision while trying to help the Cubs to a second straight victory in the deciding game of their road series with the injury-riddled St. Louis Cardinals.

          While Harden (4-1, 1.50 ERA) is not suffering from any particular injury, the club had planned since the time they traded for him in July to rest the right-hander late in the season based on his history of arm troubles.

          "I'm fine with having a few extra days," Harden told the Cubs' official Web site. "I knew I was going to skip one start. I feel good."

          St. Louis (78-67), meanwhile, had its three-game winning streak snapped while dropping 4 1/2 games behind the Brewers for the wild card and falling into fourth place in the Central for the first time this season.

          Troy Glaus will miss at least a handful of games because of a strained right shoulder, Rick Ankiel could play sparingly due to a lingering abdominal injury and catcher Yadier Molina left Wednesday's game with thigh injury following a collision at the plate with Lilly.

          With the Cardinals' lineup in flux, they'll hope for a quality outing from Todd Wellemeyer (12-6, 3.74), who avoided a third straight loss by allowing three runs and five hits in eight innings of a 5-3 victory over Florida on Saturday.

          Pick: Cubs
