Head-to-head dominance key factor for Monday

Monday’s Major League Baseball betting board features 10 games and for bettors, besides the usual array of systems, trends, pitching matchups, and strength ratings, the recent head-to-head history between the teams in four of the matchups has to be given top consideration. In fact, with the Phillies, Jays, Twins, and White Sox having thoroughly dominated their current opponent in recent years, series history might prove to be THE most important factor in handicapping tonight’s games. Let’s take a closer look at those four matchups.

Series history is usually down the list when it comes to handicapping baseball on a day-to-day basis, but the simple fact is that some teams just fare well against other, be it due to talent differences, matchup considerations, or even comfort levels at certain ballparks. Whatever the reason, one of the teams in the upcoming four matchups I am about to detail has dominated the other.
(951) COLORADO (HAMMEL) at (952) PHILADELPHIA (BLANTON) - 1:05 PM
As you can see, this is an early start, so be sure to get to handicapping it early. If you want the short & sweet method, consider the Phillies, who are going for the 4-game sweep of the Rockies. Of course, beating Colorado is nothing new for Philadelphia. Including the first three games of this series, the Phillies have beaten the Rockies in 16 of the last 20 head-to-head meetings. In the games in Philly, the hosts are 9-2 during that span, outscoring their visiting foes by an average margin of 7-3.

Today’s meeting has a very manageable price as well, with Joe Blanton taking on Jason Hammel as the -115 home favorite, according to Sportsbook.com. Blanton will try to extend a strong run of pitching by Phillies hurlers, who’ve allowed just five run in their current 4-game winning streak. Amazingly, this will be Blanton’s first career start versus the Rockies.

If you need more than the head-to-head edge for Philly, consider the Rockies’ awful performance as road dogs in 2010:

COLORADO is 3-14 (-10.8 Units) against the money line as a road underdog of +100 to +125 this season. The average score was COLORADO 2.9, OPPONENT 5.4 - (Rating = 2*)

(959) BALTIMORE (BERGESEN) at (960) TORONTO (MORROW) - 7:07 PM
A series with the lowly Baltimore Orioles usually brings out the best in the Toronto Blue Jays, who look to move to 10-0 on the season against the Orioles when they open a three-game series Monday night at Rogers Centre. Last weekend, the Jays swept the O’s in Baltimore, and that dominance was nothing new for Toronto.

The Blue Jays have outscored the Orioles 48-16 in winning the first nine meetings of the season, including a 16-3 scoring edge in the three in Toronto. The Blue Jays, who haven't won 10 straight over the Orioles (31-67) in a single season since 1999, have won eight in row over Baltimore at Rogers Centre and 17 of the last 19 there. They are -200 favorites to extend their reign in the head-to-head series.

Brad Bergesen (3-8, 6.51 ERA) goes for the Orioles and has lost his last four starts and is 0-6 with a 7.20 ERA in nine outings since defeating Seattle on May 12.

The Blue Jays counter with Brandon Morrow (6-6, 4.71), who hasn't pitched since giving up two runs and five hits while striking out eight in seven innings in last Saturday's 3-2 win in Baltimore. It was his first victory in 10 starts away from Toronto this season. The right-hander has fared much better at Rogers Centre, going 5-1 with a 3.27 ERA in nine outings with the Blue Jays winning seven times. This will be Morrow's first start against the Orioles in Toronto.

After winning their last four games prior to the All-star break, the Orioles have returned to their losing ways, going 2-8 since. Other than an 11-run outburst in a win over Tampa Bay, the O’s have scored just 19 runs in the other nine games. Overall, they score just 3.6 runs per game, setting Toronto up for what has been a powerful ******* betting angle:

TORONTO is 16-0 (+16.0 Units) against the money line vs. AL teams scoring 3.7 or less runs/game in the second half of the season since 1997. The average score was TORONTO 6.0, OPPONENT 2.0 - (Rating = 2*)

Dating back to ’08, Toronto is 17-4 vs. Baltimore, producing +9.7 units of profit.

(965) MINNESOTA (LIRIANO) at (966) KANSAS CITY (GREINKE) - 8:10 PM
Minnesota's production at the plate has paved the way to six consecutive series victories against Kansas City, and it'll try to beat Royals ace Zack Greinke for a third time this season in Monday night's opener at Kauffman Stadium.

Despite holding Twins star Joe Mauer down (.219 average), Greinke hasn't been able to boast similar success against the rest of the Twins. He's 2-6 with a 4.31 ERA in 13 starts in the series, including 0-2 with a 7.20 ERA in a pair of outings at Target Field this season.

The Twins counter with a pitcher capable of matching zeroes with Greinke, butFrancisco Liriano (8-7, 3.54) is just 1-2 with a 7.50 ERA in three starts at Kauffman Stadium, as the Royals are hitting .313 against him. Of course, Kansas City hitters own the best batting average in the major’s this season, at .281.

Being division rivals, these teams meet often, and Minnesota has beaten the Royals in 30 of the last 45 meetings dating back to ’08. Strangely, the Twins have been more effective at Kaufmann Stadium than at home during that stretch, going 16-5 for +11 units during that stretch.

The latest line shows a pick em’ for this contest, after Kansas City spent the last four days in New York, capturing one of the four contests as a +200 underdog or more.

(967) SEATTLE (HERNANDEZ) at (968) CHI WHITE SOX (DANKS) - 8:10 PM
In their last four games against the White Sox in 2010, the Mariners have mustered a total of five runs. Just last weekend in Seattle, Chicago took two of three games by holding the M’s to three runs in three days in front of their home fans.

As +115 underdogs on Monday night, the visiting Mariners will have to overcome a hot pitcher, and a team that has played nearly impeccable baseball at home over the last month to break the spell.

John Danks, who looks to win a fourth straight start overall, is 3-0 with a 1.14 ERA in his last four starts versus Seattle as well. He'll try to push Chicago's home winning streak to eight, which would be the club's longest since a nine-game stretch June 17-July 2, 2008.

Chicago, which has won 14 of 15 at U.S. Cellular Field since June 9, has won four straight and eight of nine at home against Seattle.

Looking to win three in a row for the first time since a six-game streak June 16-23, the Mariners give the ball to Felix Hernandez (7-6, 2.75), who hasn't allowed a run to the White Sox in his last three starts against them - a stretch covering 23 innings.

Monday Tips

The trading deadline is less than a week away as teams not only are scrambling for missing pieces to help complete their squad, but also to make a move in the pennant race. The American League has a loaded Monday card, starting with two clubs trying to make a push inside their division.

Tigers at Rays - 7:05 PM EST

These two teams meet up for the first time this season as Tampa Bay returns home following consecutive wins at Cleveland. Detroit begins a seven-game road trip through the AL East that wraps up in Boston.

Matt Garza (10-5, 4.36 ERA) looks to rebound off one of his worst losses of the season, allowing four homers in 6.1 innings of an 11-10 defeat at Baltimore. Garza has lost only once in his last eight decisions, while the Rays own an 8-2 mark in his 10 home starts this season. The right-hander has struggled against the Tigers in his career, losing five straight dating back to his days with the Twins.

The Tigers send out Max Scherzer (7-7, 4.43 ERA) to the hill, who has been the epitome of the home-road dichotomy this season. Scherzer has won just one start in nine road outings, compared to Detroit's 7-2 mark in his nine starts at Comerica Park. The former Diamondback is coming off one of his best outings, a scoreless seven-inning effort in a 4-1 victory over the Rangers. Scherzer has never faced the Rays in his career, as he looks for better run support on the road with Detroit plating less than three runs/game in his away outings.

Detroit took five of seven meetings from Tampa Bay last season, including a three-game sweep at Comerica Park in September. The Tigers have dropped six games on the road, with four of those games finishing 'under' the total.

Yankees at Indians - 7:05 PM EST

The Bombers head to Cleveland for the first time since last May, as New York tries to maintain its lead in the AL East. The Indians lost the final two games to the Rays, but Cleveland is a very profitable 7-3 since the All-Star Break.

A pair of veteran pitchers take the mound as Javier Vazquez (8-7, 4.68 ERA) has turned into a strong road play for the Yanks recently. New York is 4-2 in Vazquez's previous six away starts, despite a 4-1 loss at Seattle in his last highway outing on July 10. Vazquez was knocked around in his last start against the Angels, allowing five earned runs and nine hits in five innings, but the Yanks outslugged Los Angeles, 10-6.

Jake Westbrook (6-6, 4.74 ERA) has been reliable at Progressive Field, winning each of his last three home starts. Cleveland is 4-1 in his previous five home outings, including underdog wins against Detroit and Toronto. Westbrook hasn't faced the Yankees since 2007, when the righty lost three times to New York, allowing 18 earned runs in 13 innings.

The Yankees took three of four from the Indians in late May, averaging 9.25 runs/game in that series. New York is 5-1 the previous six meetings in Cleveland, with the 'under' cashing five times.

Twins at Royals - 8:10 PM EST

The Royals return home following a long weekend in the Bronx, suffering through numerous rain delays while losing three of four to the Yankees. Minnesota rebounded from a home series loss to Cleveland by grabbing three of four at Baltimore.

Reigning Cy Young Award winner Zack Greinke (6-9, 3.59 ERA) has had one hiccup over the last month, going 4-1 his last five starts. Greinke is coming off a strong eight-inning performance over the Blue Jays, beating Toronto, 5-2. The lone bump in the road in this span was a 5-1 setback to Oakland, as the A's scored three unearned runs on Greinke. The Kansas City ace hasn't had much luck against Minnesota, losing nine of the last 10 starts in this series, including a pair of defeats at Target Field this season.

Francisco Liriano (8-7, 3.54 ERA) is returning to his early-season form after a subpar stretch from late June through early July. The Twins' southpaw has allowed two earned runs in his last two outings, both home victories over the White Sox and Indians. Minnesota is 2-4 in Liriano's six career starts against Kansas City, including a 1-2 mark at Kauffman Stadium.

The Twins are 6-3 in the season series, while taking two of three in Kansas City. The 'over' has been the play between these teams, hitting seven times.

Mariners at White Sox - 8:10 PM EST

The Mariners will exchange one pair of sox for another as Seattle heads to the South Side to take on the struggling White Sox. The M's captured the final two games of their four-game home series against Boston, while limiting the Red Sox to five runs the last three contests. The White Sox finished up a tough 10-game road trip at 4-6, as Chicago lost two of three at Oakland to wrap up the swing.

Each team sends out its ace as John Danks and Felix Hernandez square off. Danks (10-7, 3.37 ERA) limited the anemic Mariners' offense to two hits in 7.2 innings of a 4-0 shutout at Safeco Field last Tuesday. The Chicago southpaw is just 5-4 at home this season, but tossed a complete-game gem in a 1-0 blanking of the Angels on July 8 in his last start at U.S. Cellular Field.

Hernandez (7-6, 2.75 ERA) had his way with the White Sox bats last Thursday, scattering two hits and striking out eight in eight scoreless frames of a 2-1 extra-innings triumph. King Felix is definitely a relief for the Seattle bullpen, going at least eight innings in eight of his previous 10 outings. The 'under' has hit in six of Hernandez's last seven starts, as the M's are averaging just 3.5 runs/game for the ace this season.

The White Sox are 5-1 against the Mariners this season, including a 2-1 mark at Safeco Field on this recent West Coast swing. Following a pair of 'overs' the first two meetings, the 'under' has now cashed in four straight matchups, while four games have been decided by one run.

Tuesday's Tip Sheet

The majority of teams have played just under 100 games and while there is still a lot of season left, the race for the playoff chase is starting to separate the contenders from pretenders, especially in the National League. Three clubs that face uphill battles are the Mets, Dodgers and Rockies and all of them start new series tonight. Let’s take a closer look at their matchups, plus break down a revenge contest for the Nationals’ Stephen Strasburg.

Atlanta at Washington

The Stephen Strasburg (5-2, 2.32 ERA) show will be on tap Tuesday when the young stud tries to help Washington stop its bleeding against Atlanta. The Nationals started the second-half of the season with 10 straight on the road and the club has gone 3-7. The good news for tonight is that two of the three victories during this span came when Strasburg started, which is why he’s a favorite (-140) against the Braves. However, Atlanta did earn a 5-0 victory over the ace on June 28, but make a note that the win happened in Georgia. On the season, Washington has gone 6-3 in his nine starts and the ‘under’ has prevailed to a 5-4 mark.

On the road, the Braves have only gone 23-28 and that includes two losses to the Marlins over the weekend. Atlanta’s pitching has been great this year, but the rotation gave up 17 runs in three games to Florida. And if you look at the first 10 games since the All-Star break, the team has surrendered five or more runs seven times, which has helped the ‘over’ go 8-2. Tommy Hanson (8-6, 4.12 ERA) will look to get the staff back on track tonight but that could be tough considering the team has come up short in both of his second-half starts. Hanson earned a no decision against the Padres (4-6) last Wednesday but he only gave up two hits over six innings. The right-hander has faced the Nationals five times in his young career and the Braves have gone 3-2, which includes one win this season.

The Nationals have taken four of the first six meetings against the Braves this season, including two of three at home during an early series in May and the one loss (6-7) in D.C. came in extra innings.

St. Louis at N.Y. Mets

After going 2-8 on a West Coast trip to start the second-half, the Mets are more than happy to return home. The offense averaged 2.3 runs per game during the stint and the only victories were notched when pitcher Johan Santana was on the hill. New York has dominated clubs at Citi Field (30-16) this season but a win on Tuesday won’t come easy against St. Louis.

The Cardinals avoided a three-game sweep to the Cubs on Sunday with an extra-inning win (4-3) and now they’ll send Adam Wainwright (14-5, 1.94 ERA) to the hill. Wainwright is arguably the best pitcher in baseball this season and his recent numbers are sick. Even though the Cards lost in Wainwright’s last appearance (0-2), he went six innings and gave up no runs. Before that setback, he’s allowed 21 hits and one earned run in 29 1/3 innings. The six-foot-seven righty has been installed as a healthy road favorite (-150) over the Mets and he’s already recorded a complete game victory (5-3) against this squad on Apr. 18.

Jonathon Niese (6-4, 3.54 ERA) will have the opportunity to notch the upset in this spot and the lefthander is hoping for some run support. New York has produced a 10-6 mark in his appearances but it’s dropped three in a row when the lefthander pitches. During this skid, Niese has only given up a combined 7 earned runs but the offense has been held to four. The lack of punch in the Mets’ offense combined with Niese’s efforts has helped the ‘under’ go 7-3 in his last 10, including five in a row. The Cardinals are averaging 4.8 runs against lefties this season, which has translated into an 18-15 record against southpaws.

The two teams met in mid-April from Busch Stadium and the Cardinals took two of the three. The ‘under’ went 2-1 and the oddsmakers are expecting another low-scoring affair on Tuesday, opening the number at seven runs.

Pittsburgh at Colorado

When betting on daily sports, it’s often been said that you never bet against a club that’s won three or more games in a row and you never bet on a team that has a losing streak of three or more. If you follow that logic, then you’ll pass on tonight’s matchup from Coors Field between the Pirates and Rockies. Pittsburgh has dropped four in a row and is 4-6 after the All-Star break, while the Rockies have gone 2-9 in the second-half, plus they’ve dropped a season-high six games.

To no surprise, Jorge De La Rosa (3-2, 5.65 ERA) and the Rockies have been made healthy favorites (-200), probably a little too high considering the team’s current form. Despite the skid, the Rockies have performed well at home (31-16) and the Pirates have been an automatic fade (11-38) on the road. De La Rosa has helped the team win three of their games at home in his four starts and all of the victories have been by two runs or more. Run-line players looking to back the Rockies can cut the price in half to an even (+100) bet at sportsbooks tonight.

Zach Duke (4-9, 5.22 ERA) won his second start off the DL against the Brewers (15-3) last Wednesday, as the lefthander gave up six hits and two earned runs over six innings. In his career, Duke has gone 3-2 with a 6.90 ERA against Colorado and he was lit up for nine earned runs in an 11-3 loss at Coors Field. The ‘over’ has cashed in all five of his starts against the Rockies.

The two clubs haven’t met this season, but the Rockies did take six of nine against the Pirates last year, which included a 5-1 record at home.

L.A. Dodgers at San Diego

The Dodgers opened the second-half with six straight losses but they quickly rebounded by winning four of their last five. Unfortunately, the team still trails San Diego by six games in the NL West, which means this three-game series is big for L.A. Including these three contests, the two teams will meet seven times over the next 11 days so the division lead could be shortened or extended.

Chad Billingsley (8-5, 4.22 ERA) takes the hill for the Dodgers and he’s got solid career stats (9-4, 2.51 ERA) against the Padres, plus he racked up a 1-0 shutout win on May 16 at Petco Park. This particular victory occurred during the Dodgers’ road sweep over the Padres and it should also be noted that it was the only time this season that Bud Black’s team lost three in a row.

San Diego just wrapped up a quick six-game set on the East Coast against the Braves (1-2) and Pirates (3-0) and have now gone 7-2 in its nine games after the All-Star break. Jon Garland (9-6, 3.61 ERA) will look to keep the win streak rolling and he’s been a tough out (5-1, 2.51 ERA) at home. He’s faced the Dodgers twice this season, with the team going 1-1.

Even though the Padres don’t have the most potent lineup in the bigs, total players have watched the ‘over’ go 7-1-1 in the second-half. Keep in mind that all of the totals have been at 8 ½ runs or less, which doesn’t give the pitchers much room for error. For this battle, the number stands at 6 ½, with money shaded toward the ‘over’ (-120). Even though it’s low, the ‘under’ has cashed in four of the five encounters this season between the pair.
