MLB Series Outlook: L.A. Dodgers at San Francisco

LOS ANGELES DODGERS (42-53, -14.7 Units)

at SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS (55-41, +9.5 Units)

Sportsbook.com Series Line: San Francisco -170, Los Angeles +135

National League West rivals Los Angeles and San Francisco look to continue their rivalry when they begin a three-game series on Monday night at AT&T Park.After winning five straight games, Los Angeles has dropped two straight, losing its series to Arizona, 2-1, during the weekend. The Giants have won seven of their past nine games, including three of four at San Diego over the weekend. San Francisco is 5-4 versus the Dodgers this season, including a 2-1 mark at home.

Despite a lack of hitting in their home stadium (.236 BA, 2.9 runs per game), the Giants are 28-16 (.636) at AT&T Park. San Francisco should be favored in all three games of this series, which is a great thing for the Giants. They are 39-22 (.639) as a favorite, while L.A. is 16-28 (.364) as an underdog this year. San Francisco is also 40-22 (.645) in night games, while the Dodgers are 28-37 (.431) under the lights. All signs points to a big SAN FRANCISCO series win.

These two FoxSheets trends also like the Giants to win at least two out of three games.

SAN FRANCISCO is 29-13 (69.0%, +17.1 Units) against the money line vs. a bullpen that averages less than 2.75 innings per game over the last 2 seasons. The average score was SAN FRANCISCO 4.4, OPPONENT 3.7 - (Rating = 2*).

SAN FRANCISCO is 71-42 (62.8%, +27.5 Units) against the money line vs. teams averaging 2.75 or less extra base hits per game in the second half of the season over the last 2 seasons. The average score was SAN FRANCISCO 4.3, OPPONENT 3.4 - (Rating = 2*).

Pitching Probables for Tuesday, July 19 - 10:15 ET
Tuesday line: TBD
LAD: 3-4 (+0.02 Units) when Rubby De La Rosa starts
SF: 8-11 (-3.85 Units) when Madison Bumgarner starts
Rubby De La Rosa (3-4, 3.74, 45.2 IP) has dropped his past four decisions, but he's surrendered just four total runs in his past three trips to the mound. De La Rosa got a no-decision in a 1-0 Dodgers win over San Diego on July 9, giving up just one hit in six shutout innings with four walks and eight strikeouts. He is 2-1 with a 2.50 ERA in four road games in 2011 (three starts).
Madison Bumgarner (4-9, 3.74, 110.2 IP) has picked up three straight no-decisions, but he gave up one earned run in six innings of a 6-2 victory over the Padres on July 14. The left-hander has surrendered one run in three of his past four starts, but gave up five earned runs to San Diego on July 6. Bumgarner is 1-1 versus L.A. this season, allowing six runs in 13.2 IP. He earned the win against the Dodgers on May 19, pitching 8.2 innings and giving up one earned run. He is 2-1 in four career games (three starts) against L.A. with a 3.10 ERA, but is only 1-5 with a 5.36 ERA in nine home starts this season.

Pitching Probables for Wednesday, July 20 - 3:45 ET
Wednesday line: TBD
LAD: 12-8 (+2.25 Units) when Clayton Kershaw starts
SF: 12-8 (+0.45 Units) when Tim Lincecum starts
Clayton Kershaw (10-4, 2.88 ERA, 137.2 IP) will look to win his third straight start, and is coming off another solid effort on July 15 at Arizona. In that game, he allowed five hits and four runs (zero earned) in seven innings with eight strikeouts. Kershaw hasn't surrendered an earned run in his past two starts, spanning 15 innings. The left-hander has faced the Giants three times this season. He gave up four earned runs and seven hits in five innings in a no-decision on May 18. But in an April 11 start, he pitched 6.2 shutout innings in a 6-1 win. He also beat the Giants, 2-1, on March 31, throwing seven shutout innings and giving up just four hits. He is 3-1 with a 1.62 ERA in nine career appearances against San Francisco (eight starts).
Tim Lincecum (8-7, 2.99 ERA, 129.1 IP) has won two straight outings, and has allowed one earned run in each of those starts (12 IP). He defeated San Diego 6-1 on July 15, pitching six innings and surrendering one run and three hits with seven strikeouts. He's pitched against the Dodgers twice this season, and picked up a loss and a no-decision. Lincecum gave up three earned runs in 5.1 innings on April 12, and he lost to Kershaw on March 31 despite allowing one run (zero earned) in seven innings. He is 5-2 with a 3.22 ERA in 12 career games (11 starts) against L.A., and is 3-3 with a 3.72 ERA in nine home starts this season.

MLB Series Outlook: Philadelphia at Chicago Cubs

PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES (59-35, +11.8 Units)

at CHICAGO CUBS (38-58, -19.5 Units)

Sportsbook.com Series Line: Philadelphia -220, Chicago +170

A year ago the Philadelphia Phillies began the post All-Star break portion of the second half with a four-game series in Chicago. The Phils trailed the Atlanta Braves by 5½ games in the NL East. They lost three out of four in Wrigley, en route to dropping six of their first seven out of the break. What a difference a year makes. This season the Phils entered the break with a 3½-game lead, a cushion that remains the same size after taking a weekend series from the Mets. At 59-35 they own the best record in all of baseball, and when they take the field at the friendly confines on Monday evening, it will be with the knowledge that they are a superb second-half team. Over the last six seasons under Charlie Manuel, the team is 270-172 (.611) after the break. That is the best among all NL teams during that span. With Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee taking the hill this week against the 20-games-below-.500 Cubs, Philly stands a pretty good chance of building on that mark.

The pick here is for PHILADELPHIA to win the series, despite the steep 5-to-11 price tag. The Phillies have taken the past seven series they have played, and will make it eight straight series by outlasting the Cubs this week.

This three-star FoxSheets team trend also sides with the Phils.

PHILADELPHIA is 49-16 (75.4%, +31.1 Units) against the money line vs. teams whose hitters strike out 7 or more times/game in the second half of the season over the last 2 seasons. The average score was PHILADELPHIA 5.6, OPPONENT 3.7 - (Rating = 3*).

Pitching Probables for Tuesday, July 19 – 8:05 EDT
Tuesday line: TBD
PHI: 11-8 (-1.15 Units) when Cliff Lee starts
CHC: 6-11 (-6.05 Units) when Matt Garza starts
When Cliff Lee takes the field in the second game of this series, it will be interesting to see if he can stay hot…with his bat! Lee is hitting .220 on the year with nine hits, six RBI, and in his last outing versus Atlanta, it was his solo HR (the first of his career) that accounted for the only scoring of the day for the Phillies. He’s not too shabby when he’s pitching either. Lee is 9-6 with a 2.82 ERA and a 4.7 K/BB ratio (137 K, 29 BB). Lee could be vulnerable on the road though, where he is 2-5 with a 4.73 ERA, a stark contrast to his gaudy home stats (7-1, 1.61 ERA). In his last road outing on July 3, Lee thought he was headed for his 10th win of the year, before being tattooed for three home runs in the eighth inning as he lost to the Blue Jays 7-4.
Matt Garza will be making his second start of the season against the Phils, and is looking for a better outcome than he had on June 11 when he and his Cubs lost to Lee and the Phils 7-1. Garza went six innings, allowing five hits, two runs (one earned) while walking three. Garza has been stingy at home, sporting a 2.88 ERA in nine home starts this year.

Pitching Probables for Wednesday, July 20 - 2:20 EDT
Wednesday line: TBD
PHI: 7-2 (+5.10 Units) when Vance Worley starts
CHC: 13-7 (+5.80 Units) when Ryan Dempster starts
While he’s not about to earn a permanent starring role in the Big Four, 23-year-old Vance Worley is doing a pretty good job as stunt double for the recuperating Roy Oswalt. After a May 29 hiccup against the Mets in which he allowed 12 hits and eight runs in three innings, Worley (5-1, 2.15 ERA) has spent the past six weeks slamming the door on opposing offenses. He has allowed just three earned runs in his past five starts, a stretch which has seen him go 3-0, and his team winning all five of those games.
Worley will be opposed by the Cubs winningest pitcher this season (small consolation when your team is 38-58) Ryan Dempster. Dempster (7-6, 4.68 ERA) will be facing the Phillies for the first time this season. His home ERA of 3.42 is nearly half his 6.70 road ERA. If Worley continues to befuddle batters the way he has since the beginning of June, Dempster will need to be a lot stingier if he is to keep his team in the game. The Cubs are 13-7 (.650) when Dempster starts, and 25-51 (.329) when anybody else takes the hill this season.

MLB Series Outlook: N.Y. Yankees at Tampa Bay

NEW YORK YANKEES (55-37, +5.9 Units)

at TAMPA BAY RAYS (50-43, +1.1 Units)

Sportsbook.com Series Line: Tampa Bay -120, New York -110

Two teams trying to stay close in the tough AL East meet in Tampa Bay for a key four-game series when the Rays host the Yankees. Tampa Bay hasn’t won a series versus an AL opponent in over a month, dropping 2-of-3 games in four straight AL series. One of those series losses was leading up to the All-Star break when they dropped the final two contests of a three-game set against the Yankees.

This is a tight series to call with each team holding the pitching advantage in two of the four games, and these teams splitting the past 20 meetings at Tropicana Field 10-10. The Rays are just 22-23 at home this year, while New York has the third-best road record in the majors at 25-18. The winner of this series will come down to who hits better, and the Yankees are the superior offensive team. Tampa Bay also enters this series with a brutal 1-0 loss in 16 innings in Boston Sunday night, as the Rays mustered three hits (all singles), one walk and struck out 13 times in 50 at-bats before the game ended at 1:54 a.m. ET. Tampa also used eight relief pitchers in the loss to the Red Sox. The pick here is for NEW YORK to win the series.

The FoxSheets provide two more reasons to side with the Pinstripes.

JOE GIRARDI is 85-54 (61.2%, +22.0 Units) against the money line vs. AL teams allowing 4.2 or less runs/game on the season as the manager of NY YANKEES. The average score was NY YANKEES 4.9, OPPONENT 4.2 - (Rating = 1*).

TAMPA BAY is 19-27 (41.3%, -12.0 Units) against the money line when playing against a team with a winning record this season. The average score was TAMPA BAY 3.9, OPPONENT 4.3 - (Rating = 1*).

Pitching Probables for Wednesday, July 20 - 7:10 EDT
Wednesday line: TBD
NYY: 8-8 (-2.10 Units) when Freddy Garcia starts
TB: 12-8 (+1.65 Units) when David Price starts
Garcia (7-7, 3.43 ERA) had thrown five straight quality starts (1.87 ERA, 1.04 WHIP) before Toronto torched him for six runs (5 ER), seven hits and four walks in five innings his last time out. Although he has only faced Tampa Bay once since 2006 (7 IP, 2 ER in a win last year), he is 8-2 with a 3.56 ERA against the Rays in 15 career starts.
Price (9-7, 3.73 ERA) is the lone lefty for Tampa Bay this series, which isn’t necessarily a good thing based on New York’s 19-9 record (.679) against left-handed starters this year. Price’s ERA is more than a run higher than last year’s 2.72, but his strikeout rate has increased from 8.1 K/9 in 2010 to 8.8 this year. He pitched pretty well his last time out versus Boston (6 IP, 3 ER, 7 K), but in his last outing before the All-Star break, the Yankees touched him up for four runs and 10 base-runners (7 H, 3 BB) in just five innings. Price is 3-1 in nine career starts versus New York, but has allowed 12 runs on 21 hits in the past 16 innings against the Yankees.

Pitching Probables for Thursday, July 21 - 7:10 EDT
Thursday line: TBD
NYY: 16-5 (+8.20 Units) when CC Sabathia starts
TB: 12-8 (+1.35 Units) when James Shields starts
Sabathia (14-4, 2.64 ERA) has been unbelievable during a seven-start winning streak. In these seven victories, Sabathia has a 1.68 ERA and 0.95 WHIP with 59 K and 10 BB in 53.2 innings. Two outings ago, on July 10, he tossed a four-hit shutout against the Rays, striking out nine and walking only one. He is 9-5 with a 3.04 ERA in 21 career starts versus Tampa Bay, allowing a mere .233 batting average to the Rays.
Shields (8-8, 2.60 ERA) has also been excellent this season, especially with seven complete games. But largely due to a lack of run support, he is currently suffering through a four-game losing streak. He was hit hard against Boston his last time out (6 IP, 6 ER), but he only allowed a total of six earned runs (2.57 ERA) in his previous three outings. The losing streak is likely to continue against the Yankees and Sabathia, as Shields is just 3-10 (team is 4-13) with a 4.47 ERA in 17 career starts versus New York.

Twins And Indians Finish Series At Target Field

The Cleveland Indians are the surprise leader in the AL Central, while the Minnesota Twins are just fighting to stay alive. The teams meet on Wednesday afternoon to end a 4-game set.

The early start from Minnesota’s Target Field will be at 10:10 a.m. (PT). The pitching matchup is Josh Tomlin (11-4, 4.03 ERA) against Nick Blackburn (7-6, 3.99 ERA).

The Indians (51-44) opened the series Monday by sweeping (5-2, 6-3) a doubleheader. The extra game was due to an April postponement. They’re 4-2 since the All-Star break and lead Detroit by one game in the mediocre division.

Tuesday’s night game was still pending with Minnesota a 120 favorite in a good pitching duel between Justin Masterson and Francisco Liriano. The total was just 7 ½-runs.

Tomlin has three more wins than any other Indians starter despite an ERA north of 4.00 and allowing 18 homers, second most in the AL. His below average strikeout rate (5.07) is immensely helped by pinpoint control, 15 walks in 120 2/3 innings.

Tomlin’s long ball troubles showed up last Friday in Baltimore, surrendering three. He still got a win in the 6-5 victory despite being charged all the runs over five innings.

The 26-year-old right-hander has struggled more on the road all year. He’s 4-3 with a 4.76 ERA, with Cleveland going 4-5 in his starts. Batters are hitting .261 off him away, compared to .219 at home.

Tomlin got roughed up in his only career start versus Minnesota on June 6. He allowed six earned runs over six innings in a 6-4 loss. That’s his only home loss this year, going 7-1 with a 3.38 ERA.

Minnesota (44-51) is seven games out in the division, still trying to fight back from a 17-37 start. It went 24-11 before the break and 3-3 so far after despite losing the last two. The ‘under’ is 4-0-1 in its last five games.

Blackburn is a consistent pitcher who usually ends up around .500 with an ERA close to 4.00. His ERA was significantly higher last year (5.42), although he still ended up 10-12.

The 29-year-old right-hander threw seven shutout innings against Kansas City last Friday, but Minnesota still lost 2-1. Blackburn needed a good start after a 12.15 ERA in his prior three outings, never lasting more than five innings.

This is Blackburn’s first start against the Indians this year. He’s 6-3 with a 2.51 ERA lifetime against them, including a .60 ERA in two great starts last year. Minnesota won both contests.

The ‘under’ is 7-2 in Blackburn’s last nine starts against Cleveland.

This start is extra important with Scott Baker (elbow) put on the DL Monday. Cleveland placed outfielder Grady Sizemore (knee) on the DL the same day.

Minnesota is 4-3 against the Indians this year with the ‘under’ 3-0-1 in the last four. Minny had beat them six straight at home before Monday.

The Twins are 23-22 at home for the year (-0.1 unit), but much better recently at 16-6 in their last 22. The Indians are just 24-26 on the road this year (+3.0 units), compared to 27-18 at home (+9.0 units). However, they’re 7-3 in their last 10 away.

Alan Porter will call balls and strikes. The ‘under’ is 13-3 in his last 16 games behind the plate.

Weather will be hot in the 90s, with strong winds blowing out from the first base dugout to left-center.

Minnesota hosts Detroit on Thursday to start another important 4-game series. Cleveland is off Thursday, welcoming the White Sox on Friday for a weekend set.

St. Louis Cardinals, New York Mets MLB Betting Preview

The St. Louis Cardinals will look to stay in the hunt for the National League Central Division crown on Wednesday when they visit the New York Mets in the second game of a three-game series at Citi Field. First pitch is scheduled for 4:10 p.m. (PT) on ESPN.

St. Louis dropped two of three games at Cincinnati following the All-Star break and close out a nine-game road trip at Pittsburgh this weekend against the Pirates, one of the surprise contenders in the NL Central this year.

Meanwhile, the Mets are simply trying to stay out of the cellar in the NL East standings where Philadelphia holds a double-digit lead over three of the other four teams in the division. They have already unloaded closer Francisco Rodriguez to Milwaukee, and a fire sale may be coming if the team continues to slide.

There are a couple positives for New York, though. St. Louis could be flat with Pittsburgh on deck, playing the Mets in between a pair of divisional opponents. The Cardinals are also sending a struggling Kyle McClellan to the mound, as he looks to break a personal five-game losing streak. He has been favored in three of those games.

McClellan (6-6, 4.24 ERA) has not pitched well during his skid, but he also has not received much run support either. He is 0-5 in his past six starts with a 5.03 ERA, and St. Louis has scored more than two runs only once over that stretch.

Even worse, the Cardinals have totaled just four runs in his last five outings combined. The ‘under’ has cashed each of the last three times he has gone to the mound.

New York starting pitcher R.A. Dickey (4-8, 3.70) has seen his team win four of his last five starts – all as an underdog – although he has just a 1-1 record to show for it. Two of those wins came at home, where Dickey is only 1-6 in 10 starts this season with a 4.10 ERA.

The veteran knuckleballer is nine years older than McClellan and has had a difficult time for the most part vs. St. Louis during his career with a 7.36 ERA in four games. Dickey has seen the ‘over’ go 3-1 in his past four outings overall.

These teams had not faced each other this season before Tuesday’s series opener. They split six meetings last year, with Dickey and the Mets blanking the Cardinals 4-0 in the final matchup between them. He pitched 8 1/3 strong innings, allowing four hits with two walks and two strikeouts.

The ‘over’ had cashed in the previous three meetings between the two clubs.

Wednesday’s high temperature in Flushing is expected to reach 89 degrees with a 20 percent chance of rain under partly cloudy skies.

Phoenix Mercury Host Rematch With Minnesota Lynx

Last week’s game between these two in Minnesota produced 217 points.
A week ago these two teams combined to score 217 points in a thrilling game at Target Center. The scene shifts to US Airways Center, as the Phoenix Mercury host the Minnesota Lynx Wednesday afternoon with the opening tip set for 12:30 PT.

Phoenix (10-4) was lucky enough to come away with a 112-105 victory just seven days ago and has covered three straight games. The Mercury are currently 4½-point favorites and bettors should take note of their 5-0 ATS run at home.

Guard Diana Taurasi has led the squad to the top of the Western Conference standings despite averaging 19.3 points a game, which is off by more than three points from her scoring title mark of 22.6 last year. The former collegiate star at Connecticut scored a game-high 27 points in last week’s meeting and will likely produce a similar effort Tuesday, as the Mercury have scored over the century mark in three consecutive meetings.

She hasn’t had to carry the offensive load all by herself, as forward Penny Taylor is on pace to become the first player in league history to average at least 15.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and shoot at least 50 percent from the field.

The Mercury hold a 26-18 all-time advantage in the series, including a dominating 16-6 mark at home. Phoenix is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings overall and the ‘over’ is on a sizzling 7-0 run when playing in the desert.

Low-scoring games are never expected when these two squads matchup, especially when playing in the highest scoring game in WNBA history, a 127-124 double-overtime win by Phoenix on July 24 of last year.

Minnesota (9-4) enters its final game before the All-Star break on a two-game winning streak, including a 69-62 home win over the defending-WNBA champion Seattle Storm on Saturday. The Lynx used a 26-5 run that started late in the second quarter and carried over after halftime to take control of that particular contest.

Guard Seimone Augustus finished the game with a game-high 19 points in 31 minutes, knocking down nine of 17 shots from the floor.

Head coach Cheryl Reeve will need to rally the team for a major defensive effort, which hasn’t been a problem for most of the season away from home. Minnesota has limited opponents to 39.3 percent shooting on the road, including 27.7 percent from beyond the arc.

Easier said than done when facing the WNBA’s top offense that averages 92.3 points a game overall and 95 a night on its home floor. The average margin of victory for Phoenix when hosting Minnesota in this series has been 8.9 points, which is a few ticks higher than the home team’s 5.1-advantage overall.
