    Sunday Night Baseball: Phillies at Brewers
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Philadelphia Phillies at Milwaukee Brewers (+125, 10)

    The Phillies and Brewers put the wraps on their three-game series Sunday night when Cole Hamels opposes Doug Davis in a battle of southpaws at Miller Park on ESPN. Let’s see how they matchup.

    Go figure

    Phils' first baseman Ryan Howard entered the series in the midst of a nine-game home run drought before finally homering Friday night. Earlier this season, Howard went 15 straight games (65 plate appearances) without a home run.

    Although suffering from the prolonged power slump, Howard actually saw his batting average jump from .280 to .290 in that span.

    Exxon Valdez

    With All-Star shortstop Jimmy Rollins on the DL and his backup, Juan Castro, out with a strained knee, the Phillies turned to Wilson Valdez to fill the gap.

    Valdez has performed admirably in the field. But entering this series, his bat is leaking oil and has more holes than the Exxon Valdez. He was hitting .152 while managing to ground into five rally-killing double plays last week alone.

    Castro is listed day-to-day.

    Out on a Lidge

    Philadelphia closer Brad Lidge left the team Wednesday in Denver and flew back to Philadelphia to have his sore elbow checked by a team physician.

    The results brought good news to the injury-riddled Phillies. The MRI showed no structural damage or loose bodies in the elbow. The tests also showed that the surgery Lidge had on his elbow in November is healing properly.

    But then the Phillies promptly put their closer on the 15-day disabled lest, retroactive May 10.

    Until Lidge comes off the DL, the Phillies will go to a closer-by-committee approach with the back of their bullpen.

    Ryan Madson served as the team's closer in April the first time Lidge was on the DL. But Madson had surgery on his right big toe last week and isn't expected to return until July.

    The Phillies may turn to veteran Jose Contreras. The righthander is 2-1 with an 0.77 ERA and a 15-to-1 strikeouts-to-walks ratio in 11 2/3 innings of work this season.

    "We just have to play with it and see where we're at," manager Charlie Manuel said. "We'll get by."

    Arm shortage

    Like the Phillies, the Brewers’ bullpen is running on fumes.

    Milwaukee’s starting rotation is averaging less than six innings per start and, as a result, the bullpen is getting exhausted filling in the remaining innings.

    After three rough days against Atlanta, manager Ken Macha admitted the problem extends beyond just one or two relievers.

    RHP Carlos Villanueva saw his ERA soar from 0.51 to 3.26 in two relief appearances on consecutive days against the Braves. Villanueva allowed six runs in 1 2/3 innings in those outings.

    "It's been a little bit of an epidemic throughout the (Braves) series,” said Macha,

    "It's not just one or two guys. It's everybody out there."

    Where’s the beef?

    Brewers' first baseman Prince Fielder, who ranked second in the NL with a .602 slugging percentage in 2009, has not been able to find his power stroke this season.

    Entering this series, Fielder had only nine extra-base hits (five doubles, four homers) in 130 at-bats and has a .385 slugging percentage.

    The good news is Ryan Braun returned to the Milwaukee lineup Friday night. He missed the last two games of the Atlanta series after being hit on the left elbow on a pitch from Tommy Hanson.

    Armed to the max

    Philadelphia lefthander Hamels enters tonight game at 3-2 with a 4.53 ERA. In his last three starts he has mowed down 23 hitters in 19 innings of work.

    Hamels is 3-4 in his seven career team starts in this series, including 0-3 as a visitor with a 5.75 ERA.

    Milwaukee southpaw Davis has struggled since coming over from Arizona this season. He walked six and surrendered a grand slam on Monday against the Brewers. The lefty went 5 2/3 innings, allowing six runs on three hits while striking out four. Davis took the loss, dropping to 1-4 with a 7.56 ERA.

    Davis is 4-4 in his career team starts against the Phillies, including 3-1 at home with a 2.71 ERA.

    Chew on this

    After Friday’s 9-5 setback, Milwaukee fell to 4-12 at home, its worst start ever at Miller Park.

      This Day in Baseball
      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      On May 16 in Baseball History...

      1902 - Two deaf-mutes face each other for the first time when Dummy Hoy leads off for the Reds against Dummy Taylor of the Giants. The Reds win 5-3 with a five-run rally in the ninth. Hoy goes 2-for-4.

      1932 - The Yankees score their fourth straight shutout to equal the record set by Cleveland (1903) and Boston (1906). Johnny Allen, George Pipgras, Red Ruffing, and Lefty Gomez are the hurlers.

      1939 - The first A.L. night game is played at Shibe Park, with Cleveland beating the host Philadelphia Athletics 8-3 in ten innings.

      1954 - Ted Williams returns to action after breaking his collarbone in spring training and goes 8-for-9 with two home runs and seven RBI in a doubleheader against the Tigers. Williams has three hits in game one, a 7-6 loss. He goes five-for-five in the nightcap, including two home runs, but Boston loses 9-8 in 14 innings.

      1957 - The Yankees celebrate Billy Martin's 29th birthday in a raucous fashion. An ensuing fight at Manhattan's Copacabana Club leads to $5,500 in fines and the eventual trade of Billy to Kansas City. Hank Bauer allegedly starts the fight by hitting a patron, although Bauer denies it.

      1967 - Philadelphia voters approve a $13 million bond issue to build a new stadium.

      1979 - N.L. owners approve the sale of the Astros from the Ford Motor Credit Company to John J. McMullen for a reported $19 million.

      1984 - The Twins sell 51,863 tickets to their 8-7 loss to the Blue Jays, but only 6,346 fans show up for the game. The skewed numbers are the result of a massive ticket buyout plan organized by Minneapolis businessman Harvey Mackay to keep the Twins in Minnesota; if the club does not sell 2.41 million tickets this season it can break its lease with the Metrodome. Taking advantage of reduced prices on the Family Day promotion, Mackay pays $218,718 for 44,166 tickets.

      1987 - After starting off with an 18-2 record, the 1987 Milwaukee Brewers drop their tenth in a row, losing 13-0 to Kansas City, and earning the nickname Team Streak. The Brew Crew's only hit off Charlie Leibrandt is a bunt single.

      1997 - Jim Leyland returns to Pittsburgh for the first time wearing a uniform other than that of the Pirates. Leyland, who spent 11 seasons as skipper in Pittsburgh, sees his new team, the Marlins, beat the Pirates, 3-1. Two days later he leaves town with Florida's first-ever sweep in Pittsburgh.

                  NBA Western Conference final series odds and pick

                  Los Angeles Lakers (-335) vs. Phoenix Suns (+293)

                  There’s no question who the sentimental favorite is in this one. There aren’t two more likeable guys in the league than Steve Nash and Grant Hill and you’ve got to figure that this is the last chance either will get at a championship ring.

                  But for Nash and Hill to get a shot to hoist the Larry O’Brien trophy, they’ll have to get by the defending champs.

                  What the Suns have going for them

                  I picked the Spurs to win last round but I think I underestimated the best thing the Suns’ biggest asset: chemistry. Nash has played on some ridiculously talented teams but he’s said repeatedly said that this is the best group of guys he’s played with.

                  The Suns are also oozing with confidence after sweeping the Spurs. It proved to all the critics that Phoenix is not the same cute, but one-dimensional squad.

                  What the Lakers have going for them

                  Kobe Bryant. The Lakers’ superstar had his way with the Jazz and has scored 30 or more points in five straight playoff games. The Suns don’t matchup well against the Lakers – particularly with Kobe.

                  Phoenix will probably put Hill and Jared Dudley on No. 24 for most of the series, but there’ll be times when Jason Richardson will have to guard Bryant and that’s a scary scenario for Los Suns backers.

                  And don’t forget the Lakers have owned the Suns in recent years, winning and covering in six of their last eight meetings.

                  X-factors

                  Suns: Channing Frye is the best weapon the Suns have against the Lakers’ starting big man duo. Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum won’t be able to eat up Amare Stoudemire’s space in the paint if Frye is locked in from beyond the arc.

                  Lakers: Phoenix will only go as far as Nash will take them and it'll be up to Derek Fisher to limit the one-eyed monster. That’s no small feat for a player who has trouble staying in front of some of the lower-tier point guards. But Fish is smart and knows how to get underneath an opponent’s skin.

                  Prediction

                  Like I said, it’d be a great story if Phoenix won. It would undo some of the past hard luck the Suns have been dealt in the postseason. Unfortunately, the best story rarely pans out in the Association. The Lakers are a far superior team and they’ll prove it early.

                  Pick: Lakers in five
