Hammel hopes to end 8-game winless skid vs. Detroit

DETROIT TIGERS (38-31)

at COLORADO ROCKIES (33-35)

First Pitch: Friday, 8:40 p.m. EDT
Line: Colorado -120, Detroit +110, Total: 9

Detroit has lost 14 of its past 21 road games against NL opponents, but should do well against Colorado’s Jason Hammel, who is winless in his past eight starts. Look for the Tigers to continue their solid offensive play, which has seen them hit .316 with 27 runs in their past six games. Behind the recent success of young Rick Porcello, expect Detroit to win on Friday.

The FoxSheets give two more reasons to side with the Tigers.

JIM LEYLAND is 65-33 (66.3%, +26.1 Units) against the money line in an inter-league game as the manager of DETROIT. The average score was DETROIT 5.2, OPPONENT 4.2 - (Rating = 1*).

COLORADO is 8-17 (32.0%, -14.9 Units) against the money line after 9 consecutive games versus division rivals over the last 2 seasons. The average score was COLORADO 4.8, OPPONENT 5.4 - (Rating = 2*).

The Tigers will make their first visit to Coors Field since 2007 when they travel to Colorado for the opener of a three-game series on Friday. Detroit has not fared well in the Mile High city, losing seven of their past eight games there, while posting a team ERA of 7.64 with a 1.76 WHIP in the thin air.

Rick Porcello (6-4, 3.61 ERA) will get the start for the Tigers. The 22-year-old right-hander has been excellent since losing his first two starts of the season when he surrendered 18 hits and 10 ER in 10 IP. Since then, Porcello is 6-2 with a 2.74 ERA and 1.16 WHIP, leading the Tigers to a 7-3 record in these 10 starts. Porcello has been very good on the road this season, going 4-1 with a 2.27 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in his seven starts. He faced the Rockies one previous time, allowing just six hits and one run over six innings on May 22, 2009, while earning the victory in the Tigers 4-3 win at Comerica Park.

Jason Hammel (3-6, 3.65 ERA) will start for the Rockies. After beginning the season 3-1 with a 3.23 ERA and the Rockies winning four of his first five starts, Hammel is 0-5 with a 3.91 ERA in his past eight starts with the Rockies losing all eight of those games. This will be Hammel’s third career start against the Tigers. He was roughed up while allowing 10 hits and five runs in getting a no-decision while with the Rays in 2007, then allowed six hits and just one run in defeating them while with Colorado in 2009.

Rangers try to snap 5-game skid visiting Atlanta

TEXAS RANGERS (36-34)

at ATLANTA BRAVES (39-31)

First Pitch: Friday, 7:35 p.m. EDT
Line: Texas -115, Atlanta +105, Total: 8.5

The Braves will have their hands full with Josh Hamilton who has totally destroyed NL pitching in interleague play. The reigning AL MVP has hit safely in 23 straight interleague games and is batting .528 with four homers and 14 RBI in his past 12 games versus the National League. However, the Rangers are really struggling offensively of late, hitting just .198 with 1 HR and 12 runs during their five-game losing streak. Expect stud prospect Randall Delgado to continue these woes in his major-league debut as the Rangers have never seen him before and he could really give them problems.

This pair of three-star FoxSheets trends also side with Atlanta.

Play On - Home teams when the money line is +125 to -125 (ATLANTA) - with a team batting average of .250 or worse on the season (NL) against opponent with a cold starting pitcher- ERA >= 7.00 over his last 3 starts. (46-19 over the last 5 seasons.) (70.8%, +27.6 units. Rating = 3*).

COLBY LEWIS is 0-7 (-10.4 Units) against the money line as a favorite of -110 or higher this season. (Team's Record). The average score was LEWIS 3.4, OPPONENT 8.9 - (Rating = 3*).

The Rangers travel to Turner Field for just the second time in team history on Friday for the start of a three-game series against the Braves. Texas was swept in a three-game series in its only other appearance at this ballpark in 2003.

After winning eight of nine games from May 28 to June 5, the Rangers have struggled mightily, losing five straight and eight of their past 10. Colby Lewis (5-7, 4.97 ERA) will get the start for the Rangers, looking snap his recent streak of two straight bad starts. Lewis has been roughed up for 17 hits and 15 runs in these two outings, pitching a total of 4.2 innings. He lasted just 1.1 innings in his last start Saturday against the Twins, allowing seven hits and six runs. This will be his first career start against the Braves.

The Braves were scheduled to send red-hot Tommy Hanson (8-4, 2.48 ERA) to the mound to try for his fourth straight win. However, shoulder tendinitis has forced Hanson to be scratched from Friday’s start. His replacement will be Randall Delgado, who will make his ML debut. The 21-year-old from Panama was schedule to pitch on Thursday in Double-A Mississippi, but was told about 10 minutes before he was to take the mound that he would be replacing Hanson. Delgado who is a 6-foot-3, 200-pound right-hander, is considered one of the top three prospects in the Braves system, and ranks among the top 35 prospects in all of baseball. He was 4-4 with a 3.54 ERA, 64 K and 26 BB in 73.2 IP spanning 13 Southern League starts.

The Braves are coming off losing two of three to the Mets at home, winning in extra-innings on Thursday after blowing a 6-2 lead. Brooks Conrad’s two-run HR in the ninth inning tied the game, and the Braves won it in the 10th on a balk that allowed the winning run to score.

Florida tries to snap out of 1-15 June funk in Tampa

FLORIDA MARLINS (32-37)

at TAMPA BAY RAYS (36-33)

First Pitch: Friday, 7:10 p.m. EDT
Line: Tampa Bay -135, Florida +125, Total: 8.5

A big reason for the Marlins struggles of late (2-17 record in past 19 games) has been their pitching, which has posted a 5.79 ERA and 1.57 WHIP over this stretch. Tampa Bay should capitalize on this against a rookie on the mound for Florida, and defeat the Marlins on Friday.

The FoxSheets provide this rare five-star reason to pick the Rays.

Play On - Any team (TAMPA BAY) - poor AL hitting team (AVG <=.260) against a team with a very good bullpen (ERA <=3.33), with a starting pitcher whose ERA is 4.70 to 5.20 on the season (AL). (34-12 over the last 5 seasons.) (73.9%, +32.9 units. Rating = 5*).

The Marlins travel to Tampa Bay on Friday for the start of a three-game series with the Rays. Florida will look to get back on track as it has really struggled of late, losing seven straight and 17 of its past 19 games entering Friday, and now finds itself in last place in the NL East.

The Marlins, who are 1-15 in the month of June, will send Brad Hand (0-2, 3.27 ERA) to the mound to make his third ML start. The second-round draft choice of the Marlins in the 2008 amateur draft, was 7-1 with a 3.53 ERA at Double-A Jacksonville before being called up this season. He pitched brilliantly in his first start, allowing just one hit and one run in six innings, but got the loss as Tommy Hanson and three relievers defeated the Marlins 1-0 on June 7. In his last start on Sunday, he allowed four runs (3 ER) in five innings, getting the loss again as the Marlins fell 5-1 to Arizona.

The Rays will counter with Wade Davis (5-5, 4.81 ERA). After going 4-0 with a 2.56 ERA in his five starts from April 15-May 8, Davis has really struggled. He is 1-3 with a 7.01 ERA and 1.70 WHIP in his past seven starts, with Tampa Bay losing six of those seven games. This will be his first career start against the Marlins. The Rays have lost 12 of their past 18 games against NL opponents, which includes losing two of three to Florida earlier this season.

Sizzling Red Sox host Brewers on Friday

MILWAUKEE BREWERS (39-31)

at BOSTON RED SOX (41-27)

First Pitch: Friday, 7:10 p.m. EDT
Line: Boston -120, Milwaukee +110, Total: 9.5

Boston first baseman Adrian Gonzalez has been red-hot, batting .414 with five homers, seven doubles and 16 RBI in his past 15 games, and could be poised for another big series. In 34 career games against the Brewers, Gonzalez has 11 doubles, eight homers, 25 RBI and is batting .357 -- his highest average against any NL club. Expect the Red Sox to come out and pound Shaun Marcum, like they have done previously, and Boston to continue its winning ways with its 12th victory in its past 13 games.

The FoxSheets provide a four-star trend advising to roll with the sizzling Red Sox bats.

Play On - Home favorites with a money line of -110 or higher (BOSTON) - hot hitting team - batting .290 or better over their last 20 games against opponent with a hot starting pitcher- ERA less than 2.50 over his last 3 starts. (53-12 over the last 5 seasons.) (81.5%, +37.3 units. Rating = 4*).

Two division leaders will meet up in Boston on Friday in a battle of old American League East foes when the Milwaukee Brewers travel to Fenway Park.

Shaun Marcum (7-2, 2.68 ERA) makes his return to Fenway Park on Friday as a member of the Brewers after making his previous six starts there with the Blue Jays. Marcum is 3-2 with a 3.82 in those six starts, but has allowed nine runs in 12.1 IP in losing his past two Fenway outings. Overall, he has lost three straight starts against Boston, and is 1-4 with a 6.09 ERA in his past six starts against them. Marcum has allowed 3 ER or fewer in 11 of his 14 starts this season. After going 6-0 with a 2.10 ERA and 0.95 WHIP from April 7 to May 21, Marcum has just one win in his past four starts despite just allowing 10 runs and 18 hits in 26 innings.

The Red Sox will send John Lackey (4-5, 7.41 ERA) to the mound. Lackey has been awful this season, as his 7.41 ERA is the second-highest in the majors this season amongst pitchers that have at least eight starts. He has won his past two starts, despite allowing seven runs in 11.2 innings, but that was much better than his prior two starts in which he allowed 17 ER in just 10.2 IP before landing on the DL. This will be his first ever start against the Brewers.

MLB Betting Notes

June 15, 2011

What in the world has happened to Oakland's Trevor Cahill? The 18-game winner from 2010 who had an ERA under 3.00 was thought of to be a Cy Young candidate when the season started. Once the season got under way, Cahill showed everyone that faith in him weekly would pay off. But after starting the season 6-0, Cahill has become part of the problem in Oakland during their horrific demise.
Since May 15 the Athletics have lost Cahill's last seven starts and he took the loss in five of them. Since May 30 he's allowed four runs or more in each of them. Needless to say, a weak hitting team like Oakland can't beat anyone consistently if their starter is giving up that many runs. Heck, not many good hitting teams in baseball can.

It hasn't helped that Cahill gets almost no support when taking the mound. In four of his starts over the recent seven-game stretch, the A's have scored three runs or less. Perhaps it's a product of Cahill just feeling like a beaten man before he even takes the mound, but he's gotten even worse in his last three starts.

He no longer is competitive and is getting slapped around by everyone lately. Against the White Sox on June 9 he last only 2.2 innings. Tuesday night against the Royals, he lasted only 4.1 innings giving up four runs.

Yet, by some hard headed respect, his ratings still hold a strong figure that continues to keep him as the favorite in most cases. Even with Oakland losing 12 of their last 13 games, the A's were still a minus-165 favorite against the Royals for Cahill's start.

Cahill's next start will be against Matt Cain and the Giants on Sunday. Because of his recent failures, his rating should drop several notches for that matchup giving him a low figure. The best news for Cahill will be that he'll get to face a light hitting Giants squad. It's a tough sell in taking him in any start, but the value will be there if brave enough to swallow all his recent starts.

The main component in getting the nerve to take a chance on the A's will be how they fare from Wednesday through Saturday. Should they continue to be pathetic like we've seen the last two weeks, then staying away from the game is the best bet. But if they can steal a few games and build some confidence, Cahill will be a good play as he'll feed off the team playing better.

The Indians haven't been as bad as the A's, but they're pretty close as they've lost 10 of their last 12 games. In almost an identical story as Cahill's, Justin Masterson has fizzled along with his team. The Indians won his first six starts with Masterson getting the win in five of them. Since then, Masterson has slumped with the Indians going 1-7 in his last eight starts.

Masterson has fallen to a 5-5 record, but unlike Cahill, Masterson's rating for each ensuing game has dropped significantly lower with each loss. Masterson hasn't even imploded in a game like Cahill has done, but the difference between the two is that Cahill has an entire season of great work under his belt while Masterson doesn't. Masterson is unproven over the long haul while Cahill was close to taking hardware home last season for being the best in the league.

While I could be persuaded to roll with Cahill one more time during his slide just because of his past body of work, Masterson is going solo without my support until he figures things out.

Dead-Birds Pen

When Jaime Garcia left the mound during Tuesday's game at Washington he had pitched six strong innings and was leading 6-2. When the bullpen took over in the seventh, the combination of Miguel Batista and Trever Miller proceeded to give up a six-spot which ultimately decided the game in the Nationals 8-6 win. The blown save opportunity now gives the Cardinals 11 on the season which is one less than the Nationals and two less than league leader Houston in the dubious category.

The loss was the Cards fourth straight and showed their most glaring weakness as a team. Their bullpen hasn't been as bad as they were collectively in April, but losses like happened Tuesday should be alarming for the organization and be a major occurrence in getting the ball rolling to make a deal for San Diego's Heath Bell.

Drabek Going to Vegas

The party is over for bettors who have been riding Kyle Drabek's inability to throw strikes consistently as he was sent to Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday. His four-inning stint against the Red Sox on Sunday, where he gave up eight runs fueled by his four walks, was the straw that broke the camels back. Zach Stewart from Double-A New Hampshire will take his place on the roster and is expected to make his major league debut Thursday. Stewart was 4-3 with a 4.39 ERA at New Hampshire, numbers that look pretty similar to Drabek's time in Toronto.

The Bucs Stop at Two

The Pirates have been on a roll lately, but it's not the kind of roll we see with really good teams winning a bunch of games in a row. The Pirates roll has been able to rely on them not to lose more than two games in a row. Since May 25, they have lost only two games in a row twice, but haven't won more than two in a row. They've become a reliable team this year because they bring the same product out nightly. They get good starting pitching, a few timely hits and have competed with everyone with that formula all season.

After finishing their series at Houston on Thursday, they'll take on the Indians in Cleveland and will start it off with their best pitcher this season, Kevin Correia, who will be going for his ninth win of the year and a sure invitation to July's All-Star game in Arizona. The bulk of his damage this season has been done on the road where he is 7-1 with a 2.42 ERA. Batters are hitting only .218 against him on the road.

Friday's game is on the road, but at home, Correia is 1-4 with a 5.54 ERA where opponents hit a robust .318 against him. His only home win of the season came in interleague play against the Tigers in a 6-2 win. Altogether, the Bucs are 2-5 behind Correia at home.

This isn't to say that he'll continue his road streak against Josh Tomlin Friday, but what happens in the final two games at Houston will play a major role in what I'll bet for the game. Should the Pirates either win or lose two in a row coming into Friday, I will shade the Bucs in Correia's start to either end the slump or the win streak. They are a really good .500 team and live up to it better than most with not too many ups or downs.

Celebrated Rookie

Anthony Rizzo made his Padres debut last Thursday and San Diego has caught the fever. It's not quite Fernando-mania, but as far as Padres nation is concerned, there hasn't been a rookie so celebrated for some time in the gas lamp district. Rizzo was acquired in the deal with Boston for Adrian Gonzalez and has both teams very happy at the moment.

I spent the weekend there and although the season is already a wash, the Rizzo hoopla has given fans reason to feel good about what the future may hold -- at least until he's eligible to leave town via free-agency.

But this has become what modern day baseball is about now. It's an acceptant that certain teams in small markets will serve as developmental leagues for the major market, big money teams. We could very well see Rizzo back in Boston for big money in a few years.

Until then, the Padres can call Rizzo their own. Fans of the small market teams play to a different beat in baseball where just competing and showing promise is now considered a great season. Look at the Pirates who have gotten more publicity and applaud for just being able to hover close to .500. Mediocrity hasn't been so celebrated since Gaylord Focker's display of 8th-place ribbons, but we'll take it.
