Sunday Night Baseball: Tigers at Rangers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Detroit Tigers and Texas Rangers take the spotlight this week on Sunday Night Baseball.

Detroit Tigers at Texas Rangers (-115, 9)

FISTING FOR VICTORIES

Doug Fister has been stellar for the Tigers, going 5-1 with a 3.06 ERA on the year. He'll face a Texas team that hit him up for nine runs over 4 1/3 innings in their only meeting last year. The righty has made four road starts this season and he's 1-1 in those games. He got shelled in Washington in the shortest start of his career giving up five runs and eight hits in three innings. Fister has benefited from seeing Houston in two of his last three starts, snagging a victory at home and a no-decision on the road.

HOLLAND TUNNEL IN TEXAS

Derek Holland is 3-2 with a 2.93 ERA this season. He has pitched well in May going 2-0 with a 2.18 ERA. The southpaw hasn't had many problems pitching at home this year, going 1-1 with a 1.57 ERA in three starts there. Holland has shown incredible control walking just three batters in his last four starts. Last year he picked up a no-decision against the Tigers after giving up one run and three hits while striking out nine in a 2-1 Rangers victory.

INJURY REPORT

The Tigers are almost completely healthy as a team. They are without Austin Jackson, who is on the disabled list with a strained right hamstring and Octavio Dotel, who is dealing with right elbow inflammation. The list is a bit longer for the Rangers. Their lineup is relatively intact as AJ Pierzynski is dealing with a strained right oblique muscle. He will return hopefully on Tuesday for their game against the Athletics. The Texas pitching staff is a different story. Matt Harrison, Alexi Ogando, Colby Lewis and Neftali Feliz are all out of the rotation while Joakim Soria has not pitched yet out of the team's bullpen. Those pitchers are expected to be back at varying times between May and August.

TRENDS

Tigers are 50-22 in their last 72 Sunday games
Tigers are 6-2 in Fister's last eight starts
Rangers are 37-18 in their last 55 Sunday games
Rangers are 35-16 in Holland’s last 51 home starts

HITTERS TO WATCH

Torii Hunter 10-for-34 vs. Holland
Miguel Cabrera 0-for-5 vs. Holland
Elvis Andrus 4-for-22 vs. Fister
Nelson Cruz 7-for-16 vs. Fister

MLB Top 6: Best and worst interleague bets

The new interleague structure in the major leagues, a season-long format as opposed to sporadic pockets throughout the season, has seen all but six big league clubs face a team from the opposite league.

Only the Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, Oakland A's, Houston Astros, St, Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants have yet to partake in interleague games, though the Giants and Jays open a series Tuesday. Still, we have a large enough sample size to delve into the numbers and see which teams have gotten off to a strong start and which clubs have struggled in the early stages of interleague matchups.

Best interleague bets

Washington Nationals (5-0 IL)

The Nationals have taken a three-game series versus the Chicago White Sox and a mini two-game series over the Detroit Tigers this season to have a clean 5-0 record in interleague play. The Nationals seem to do their best scoring against American League teams. In the five interleague games, they have outscored opponents 28-18. The Nats are 13th in the National League with 137 runs on the year. That total gives them an average of 3.6 per game. In interleague play, they average a vastly improved 5.6 runs per game.

Washington's next interleague matchup will be a four-game series against the Baltimore Orioles May 27.

Tampa Bay Rays (5-1 IL)

A three-game sweep of the San Diego Padres has the Rays riding a wave of momentum and has improved their interleague record to 5-1. They took two of three from the Colorado Rockies earlier in the month to get the ball rolling in their interleague schedule. Tampa Bay is crushing the ball, having played over the total in 14 of its last 15 games overall. Five of those have been versus NL opponents. The Rays have battered NL pitching, outscoring teams from the senior circuit by a score of 36-28 in their six matchups.

The Rays will face the Miami Marlins in a battle for Florida bragging rights on May 27.

New York Mets (3-1 IL)

The Mets have gotten off to a great start posting three wins in four games in interleague matchups. It helps to have one of the best pitchers in the game pitching in two of those victories. Matt Harvey started and won both of his interleague starts. He tossed a 1-0 shutout versus the White Sox on May 7 and went eight innings in a 4-2 victory against the Minnesota Twins on April 13. It's just unfortunate the Mets can't play the AL all the time. They have gone just 11-20 versus the National League.

The Mets will play a four-game subway series versus the Yankees on May 27.

Worst

Philadelphia Philles (1-4 IL)

In 2012, Philly posted a porous record of 5-10 against AL foes. This season, it's just as bad. The Phillies have surrendered a total of 45 runs in their five games and have managed to score just 18 themselves. The Phils have had trouble across the board this season, but their games versus the AL have amplified their shortcomings.

The Philles will get another crack at the AL with a mini two-game set versus the Cleveland Indians Tuesday. They have lost both their games versus the Tribe this season by a combined score of 20-2.

Chicago White Sox (1-4 IL)

On the year, the White Sox have posted some great pitching numbers, coupled with some poor hitting statistics. In interleague play, the ChiSox are an improved offensive club with pitching woes, save for a 1-0 loss against Harvey and the Mets on May 7. Chicago ranks 28th in the majors with a .229 batting average, but that number is improved to .260 against NL clubs. Its reliable 3.51 ERA balloons up to 4.68 against the NL.

The Pale Hose will get another crack against the NL as they host the Marlins on May 24.

Atlanta Braves (1-4 IL)

The NL East-leading Braves just can't get it done versus the AL. In 2012, they posted a subpar 8-10 record in interleague games. The Braves have the best inter-division record in MLB, having gone 11-4 against NL East rivals, but have posted an alarming 1-4 record in interleague matchups. This could be crucial considering the Nationals have had success versus the AL. The Braves were swept by Detroit in late April and were outscored 25-7 in the three games.

The Braves will try to right the ship in their next interleague matchup as they face the Minnesota Twins on May 20.

Eye on Baseball Weekly Predictions: Mattingly survives the week

May 20, 2013 10:28 am ET

One of my favorite things about baseball is that you can't predict it. You can try -- and we've tried -- but you'll be wrong. My "David Price repeating as AL Cy Young" pick isn't looking so hot right now. Sure, there might be a lot of unexpected stuff in baseball, but is any of it truly surprising? Not really.

Because we enjoy looking foolish and occasionally looking smart, we're going to attempt to predict baseball in our newest feature at EOB: Eye on Baseball Weekly Predictions. Every Monday we'll put together some predictions for the upcoming week and then keep a running tally throughout the season. Batting .300 is a success in baseball, but I'll be happy if we crack the Mendoza Line.

To kick things off, here is my first prediction: Dodgers manager Don Mattingly will not be fired this week.

That sounds a little crazy after Los Angeles got swept by the Braves this weekend to fall to 17-25 on the season, good for last place in the NL West and seven games behind the first-place Diamondbacks. The Dodgers faithful are restless after sky-high expectations coming into the season, and the manager is usually the first scapegoat.

Donnie Baseball will avoid the axe for at least another week because the scheduled works in his favor. His team will open a three-game series against the Brewers on Monday, the same Brewers team that has won just two of their last 11 and three of their last 17 games. Furthermore, Mattingly will run his top three starters -- Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke and Hyun-Jin Ryu -- out there against Milwaukee.

The Dodgers have some very serious problems -- specifically a well-stocked DL list and a complete inability to hit with runners in scoring position (66 OPS+ with RISP) -- and Mattingly is very much on the hot seat. Getting two Kershaw starts and maybe two Greinke starts (assuming they use Thursday's off-day to skip rookie Matt Magill) in a six-game span is a great way to keep a job for another week.

It seems very unlikely that Mattingly will make it through the entire season at the helm though, but my prediction here is that he survives another seven days. Here are four more sure to be wrong predictions for the next week:

1. The Diamondbacks will open at least a three-game lead in the NL West. Arizona is one game up on the Rockies and Giants at the moment, and this week they'll play three against both Colorado and the Padres. San Francisco plays three against the Nationals before meeting the Rockies. The D'Backs take care of business against San Diego while their two primary competitors beat up on each other.

2. Max Scherzer will have a 12+ strikeout game. Specifically, he'll do it against the Indians on Tuesday. Scherzer has whiffed 32.5 percent of the batters he's faced this year, the second highest rate in baseball behind Yu Darvish (36.3 percent). The Tribe have struck out in 21.3 percent of their plate appearances this year, the fourth highest rate in the AL. Scherzer has four 12+ strikeout games in his career, including one earlier this year. He'll add a fifth this week.

3. The Angels will climb out of fourth place. The Halos are currently three games behind the Mariners for third place in the AL West, and this week they'll play two games against Seattle and four against the free-falling Royals. The Mariners wrap-up a series with the Indians today and will meet the Rangers for three games later this week. If the Angels can't get into third place this week, they might never do it.

4. Chris Davis will hit at least three home runs. It's all about the matchups for the AL co-leader in homers with 12. The Orioles will face just one starting pitcher with a sub-1.0 HR/9 this week, and that's Hiroki Kuroda at 0.5 HR/9. The others: CC Sabathia (career-high 1.2 HR/9). Phil Hughes (career-high 1.7 HR/9), Brandon Morrow (career-high 1.6 HR/9), R.A. Dickey (1.5 HR/9), Chad Jenkins (1.8 HR/9 in only one start) and Ramon Ortiz (1.0 HR/9 between the majors and minors). Davis is going to make it rain.

Hot & Not - AL Edition

May 21, 2013

The MLB betting season is officially a quarter of the way through, and today at VegasInsider.com, we're going to be taking a look at the best and the worst of the American League of late to show which teams are streaking and which are sliding.

Money-Makers

Cleveland Indians (8-2, +$766 in L/10) – The Tribe are 2 ½-games up in the AL Central right now, and it all started when they went on the road and beat Justin Verlander and the Tigers as +230 underdogs (Bet $100 to win $230). Since then, the team has gotten its scoring average up to 5.07 runs per game, and the team has launched the most dingers in baseball (60).

On Deck: Those pesky Tigers are coming to Progressive Field for two games in the middle of the week before it's off to Fenway Park for a date with the Red Sox. It won't be an easy week by any stretch of the imagination for Cleveland.

Texas Rangers (9-3, +$569 in L/12) – The Rangers just took three out of four from Detroit in a huge series that helped open up the lead in the AL West to 5 ½ games. The team already has 16 wins against AL West foes this season, which is more than any other team has against a divisional mate thus far on the season.

On Deck: There's a good chance that the Rangers will keep the best record in the bigs against divisional rivals as well this week. The A's are coming to town before the road trip to Seattle to take on the Mariners.

Boston Red Sox (5-1, +$393 in L/6) – It was a frustrating week two weeks ago for Red Sox fans, but since that point, the team has gotten back on the bus. This winning streak hasn't made up for all of the profits that were burned through during the losing streak, especially the part that came against the Twins, but it's a good start for a team that already has 27 wins under its belt.

On Deck: Two more games are on tap against the White Sox to wrap up this nine-game road trip. One would think that coming back home to take on the Indians would be an easier task, but we have to remember that this Boston team is just 13-10 at Fenway (-$296).

Money-Burners

Baltimore Orioles (0-6, -$711 in L/6) – Losing series like the one to the Rays over the weekend in such crushing form is bad news for a team like Baltimore. The Orioles know that they have a great bullpen, but you wouldn't know it based upon the Jim Johnson implosions of the last few days.

On Deck: The Yankees are playing against Baltimore for the last two games of what has been a disastrous home stand, and perhaps the best thing that could happen for the team is that it is getting away from home to take on the Jays at Rogers Centre this weekend.

Minnesota Twins (0-6, -$633 in L/6) – The Twins haven't been anything to write home about either, as they have six straight losses and are back in the gutter of the AL Central. This is a franchise that hopes that the future is very soon, because the current edition of this team is seemingly only waiting until the kids in the minors are ready to come up to the big league level.

On Deck: It's tough to see this losing skid really ending with any gusto for the Twins. Not only do they have road trips against the Braves and the Tigers up this week, but after Memorial Day, there are four games with Milwaukee, three with Seattle, and then it's back on the road for nine more.

Detroit Tigers (1-4, -$562 in L/5) – The game that really did the Tigers in was when they were beaten as -350 favorites at home against the Astros. It's going to happen at times this season, but you hope that's the type of thing that just doesn't happen to your team, especially when you're in the thick of a pennant race in the AL Central.

On Deck: Matters will get much easier once the Tigers are done dealing with the Tribe this week. Memorial Day weekend will see the lowly Twins coming to town in what should be a "get better" series for Motown.
