Preview: Cubs (28-40) at Cardinals (45-25)
Game: 2
Venue: Busch Stadium
Date: June 18, 2013 8:15 PM EDT


Offense continues to come at a premium for the Chicago Cubs at Busch Stadium, and it likely won't come any easier Tuesday night.

Adam Wainwright takes the mound for the St. Louis Cardinals trying to win a sixth straight start as he faces Chicago.

The Cubs (28-40) managed only one run and 16 hits while being swept in three games at St. Louis last July 20-22 in their most recent visit before this week. They didn't fare much better in the series opener Monday night, scraping together five hits in a 5-2 loss. Chicago is 1 for 17 with runners in scoring position in its last four road games versus the Cardinals (45-25).

The Cubs have lost 10 of 15 and are batting .203 in the last 11.

"It's tough for the team," starter Travis Wood said Monday after giving up four runs over seven innings. "We're scratching and clawing trying to get everything we can right now and trying to put together quality ball games."

Wainwright (10-3, 2.18 ERA) continues to shut down opponents, compiling a 1.64 ERA while notching a victory in each of his past five outings.

He became baseball's first 10-game winner Thursday against the Mets, not showing any sign of disruption from shortened pregame preparation as an expected rain delay never came to fruition. The right-hander yielded four hits and two walks over seven shutout innings, outdueling Matt Harvey in a 2-1 victory.

"My whole pregame routine was kind of thrown out of the window," said Wainwright, who recorded his 1,000th career strikeout.

A few weeks ago, this might have looked like one of baseball's premier pitching matchups, but Cubs starter Jeff Samardzija (3-7, 3.46) has struggled more recently. He's 0-1 with a 5.79 ERA over his last three starts, walking nine batters in 18 1-3 innings, compared to a 2-1 record and 1.13 ERA in his previous three.

He didn't provide much reason for optimism in his most recent start, surrendering a season-high 10 hits and five runs across six innings Thursday against the Reds, though Chicago won 6-5 in 14 innings.

"I'm more upset with the leadoff singles and leadoff walk," Samardzija told the team's official website after issuing four walks. "Those walks come back to haunt you, and I think a couple of them scored today. You want to get that first hitter out, and that's what they did a good job of today was to get me in the stretch early and make me stay there."

Samardzija has seen mixed results versus the Cardinals, owning a 3-2 mark and 4.95 ERA in 16 games - five starts. He won his last game at Busch Stadium despite giving up five runs and 10 hits over five innings as the Cubs emerged with a 9-5 victory April 13, 2012.

Wainwright is 6-5 with a 4.47 ERA in 18 career starts versus the Cubs, but they've given him some trouble recently. He's 1-2 with a 5.25 ERA over the last six. Darwin Barney and Starlin Castro are a combined 10 for 29 against him while Anthony Rizzo is 3 for 6.

No current Cardinal has homered off Samardzija in 96 at_bats, though Yadier Molina is 7 for 15 against him.

Molina had his eighth multihit effort in 13 games Monday, including a two-run double, and leads the NL with a .355 average.

Preview: Marlins (22-47) at Diamondbacks (37-33)
Game: 2
Venue: Chase Field
Date: June 18, 2013 9:40 PM EDT


The Arizona Diamondbacks are scuffling at the plate, and it's becoming a serious issue with runners in scoring position.

Giancarlo Stanton isn't having any such trouble since his return to the Miami Marlins.

The Diamondbacks will try to stop the surging Stanton in an attempt to avoid their longest losing streak of the year Tuesday night.

Arizona (37-33) is batting .188 with eight runs during a season high-tying four-game skid after hitting .294 over the previous 18 contests.

The Diamondbacks are having major issues with runners in scoring position, going 4 for 26 (.154) over the last four games. That was vital Monday, when they went 1 for 12 and stranded nine runners while squandering a two-run lead in a 3-2 loss to Miami (22-47).

"More of the same," manager Kirk Gibson said.

That could also apply to Stanton, who is 11 for 28 (.393) with three doubles, four homers and 10 RBIs in seven games since returning from a strained right hamstring that sidelined him since April 29.

The Marlins slugger turned in his best performance yet in the opener of this three-game series Monday, tying the game with a two-run homer off Patrick Corbin before connecting for a solo shot in the ninth off Heath Bell.

Stanton is a .349 hitter with five doubles, six homers and 13 RBIs in 12 visits to Chase Field.

"The guy is swinging the bat good. We have to find a better way to get around him," Gibson said. "You can see how strong he is. He just barreled it."

That will be Randall Delgado's job, as he tries to make a case for a spot in the back end of the Diamondbacks' rotation.

The right-hander failed to do that out of spring training, compiling a 7.45 ERA in six games, and didn't do himself any favors in his only appearance for Arizona this season. In a 7-1 loss at St. Louis on June 3, he was tagged for two runs and four hits - one homer - in two innings of relief.

Since then, Delgado has allowed three runs with 12 strikeouts in 12 2-3 innings in two starts for Triple-A Reno.

"Delgado was up here and got his feet wet this year, went back down worked on some things, threw a good game, (had) better command and he's the guy," Gibson told the team's official website.

Gibson may have been swayed by Delgado's 2-0 record and 1.10 ERA in three starts versus Miami, which has won six of nine.

The Marlins are giving Nathan Eovaldi his season debut after his recovery from shoulder inflammation, which landed him on the disabled list in March.

The right-hander went 1-1 with a 4.35 ERA in five starts during a minor-league rehabilitation assignment.

"We were really taking it slow, making sure everything felt good," Eovaldi told the team's official website. "After each bullpen and each game, I haven't had any soreness or any type of fatigue. I've been feeling great."

Eovaldi went 3-7 with a 4.30 ERA in 12 starts with the Marlins after being acquired in a trade that sent Hanley Ramirez to the Los Angeles Dodgers in July.

He's 2-0 with a 4.05 ERA in five games versus the Diamondbacks, but he's won both of his starts against them - both on the road - while yielding three runs in 11 innings.

Preview: Mariners (31-40) at Angels (31-39)
Game: 2
Venue: Angel Stadium of Anaheim
Date: June 18, 2013 10:05 PM EDT


The Seattle Mariners' Jeremy Bonderman has turned in a pair of impressive outings since a miserable performance in his first major league start in three seasons.

The right-hander will try to keep rolling when he faces the hot-hitting Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night.

Since getting tagged for seven runs in a 10-0 loss in Minnesota on June 2, Bonderman is 1-0 with a 0.64 ERA in two starts and might have earned a second win if not for a disastrous effort from the Seattle bullpen Wednesday against Houston.

Bonderman (1-1, 3.86 ERA) tossed eight scoreless innings against the Astros but the Mariners gave up six runs in the final frame of a 6-1 loss.

"What he is doing is getting the ball to both sides of the plate now, and you're starting to see more velocity," manager Eric Wedge said. "His effort was beyond the call really today especially in that type of ballgame."

Bonderman will try to help the Mariners (31-40) produce a better effort against the Angels (31-39) in his next outing. Seattle has been outscored 30-4 in its last three games in the series, all in Anaheim, and gave up seven runs in the sixth inning Monday en route to an 11-3 defeat.

Albert Pujols and Alberto Callaspo combined for eight of Los Angeles' 21 hits, the most for the team in any game since Aug. 16, 2009.

The Angels are batting .370 and have scored 36 runs while winning four of their last five. Pujols is batting .522 (12 for 23) in those contests, and Howie Kendrick is 11 for 20 (.550) in his last six games.

"I don't know if we're going to get it every night, but 21 hits is a good breakout game for us coming off a good ninth inning Sunday," said Angels manager Mike Scioscia, whose team scored five runs in the final inning of a 6-5 loss to the New York Yankees.

The Angels' hitters will next try to help a struggling Joe Blanton (1-10, 5.87) snap a three-game slide. The right-hander, the AL leader in losses, matched a season high by giving up seven runs in a 10-5 loss in Boston on June 9.

Blanton has reportedly tried to work on his mechanics with pitching coach Mike Butcher since that outing. He's gotten a break because the team was off Thursday and didn't need a fifth starter.

"I know Joe, just like any player, he understands it's a proving ground in the major leagues, every day you're out there," manager Mike Scioscia said. "I think there is a sense of urgency in the way he likes to compete and what he likes to do. Unfortunately, we're not getting the results and that's where we are right now."

Blanton gave up three runs over six innings in his first matchup with Seattle in nearly five years, a 3-2 loss April 27.

Bonderman will face the Angels for the first time since Aug. 7, 2010, when he was with Detroit. He's 3-4 with a 4.62 ERA in 13 career starts against Los Angeles and 2-2 with a 5.40 ERA in eight all-time games in Anaheim.

Preview: Padres (36-34) at Giants (35-34)
Game: 2
Venue: AT&T Park
Date: June 18, 2013 10:15 PM EDT


Even the loss of the team's best hitter couldn't disrupt the San Diego Padres' winning streak.

Matt Cain will try to bring that run to an end, however, as he gets the nod for the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night against the Padres at AT&T Park.

Playing without shortstop Everth Cabrera, who exited Sunday's win over Arizona due to a sore left hamstring, San Diego (36-34) still managed its seventh consecutive victory Monday, a 5-3 win over San Francisco (35-34) in 13 innings.

The extra frames were mostly uneventful until Alexei Amarista led off the 13th with a single and eventually scored the go-ahead run on a squeeze bunt from pinch-hitter Andrew Cashner, who will start opposite Cain on Tuesday.

Will Venable also contributed in a big way with a spectacular diving catch on the warning track in center field for the final out in the 12th, taking away what likely would have been the game-winning hit by Juan Perez with a runner on second.

"That was pretty cool," Cashner said. ``I've never had a game-winning RBI. But if Will Venable doesn't have that catch ... it's one of the best catches I've ever seen."

Cabrera could miss the entire series, but San Diego is hoping he won't require a trip to the disabled list. Batting .305 with a team-best 84 hits, Cabrera had been a particularly big factor in the team's recent success, hitting .405 with 12 stolen bases while the Padres won 13 of 19 prior to Monday.

"It's better to miss two or three games here and come back as quick as I can," he told the team's official website. "I feel all right. I feel I can play but I don't want to play at 50 percent. They said we will give it a couple of days and see how I feel."

San Diego was also without Carlos Quentin for the third straight game due to a sore left shoulder. He owns a 1.060 OPS over his last 20 games.

Cain (5-3, 4.70 ERA) has shut down the Padres the last three times he's faced them, going 2-0 with an 0.84 ERA, though this will be the first time he's seen them this season.

The right-hander also seems to have gathered himself after allowing seven runs over six innings at St. Louis on June 1. He's surrendered just one earned run over 13 2-3 innings in two starts since.

Cain yielded two hits over 6 2-3 innings in a 10-0 win at Pittsburgh on Thursday.

"He had good command of all his pitches," San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said of Cain, who is 7-11 with a 3.17 ERA in 30 starts against the Padres. "He's in a good place right now with his delivery and command. I like where he's at."

The Giants are also dealing with a number of injuries, though Bochy told the team's official website Monday that Marco Scutaro could return to the lineup Tuesday. Batting a team-best .332, Scutaro hasn't played since last Tuesday due to an injured left hand. Bochy also said that Angel Pagan and Pablo Sandoval are nearing the start of rehab assignments and could return to the club Monday for the team's series against the Dodgers.

Cashner (5-3, 3.52) faced the Giants in his first two starts of the season, going 1-1 while giving up three runs in 10 innings.

Buster Posey, who got a day off Monday before entering late as a defensive replacement, is 4 for 9 off Cashner with two homers.

Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

According to Phil Steele's magazine, the eight college football teams that lost the least experience from LY, and stand to take a step forward:

-- Bowling Green-- Went 8-5 with only nine seniors last season.

-- Indiana-- Looking for second winning season in last 19 years.

-- UL-Monroe-- Four starters back on OL and a senior QB.

-- Ole Miss-- 19 starters back, including four of five on OL.

-- Rice-- Whole OL back, plus senior QB; won a bowl last year.

-- Texas-- 22-16 last three years; natives are restless.

-- Tex-San Antonio-- Coached by Larry Coker, the old Miami coach.

-- Washington-- Breakthrough after 7-6 three years in a row?


*****

Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but........

13) You have to check out SportsCenter to see a great catch Will Venable made to save the game for San Diego late Monday night; Padres won 5-3 in 13th inning, but not before Venable made one of the best catches you will see all season. Fact that it saved the game makes it even better.

12) Dillon Gee blanked Atlanta for eight innings and knocked in Mets' only run, but when manager Terry Collins gave Gee the chance to pitch a complete game, Freddie Freeman broke Gee's heart with a walkoff homer as the Braves won 2-1 in highly dramatic fashion, in a game that started at 10:53 eastern time, because of rain. It ended at 1:23am, and teams have a day/night doubleheader starting at 1:00 today.

11) There is a television show on the Learning Channel called “Best Funeral Ever” and boy do I wish I was making this up.

Apparently there is a company that does themed funerals. I want to see someone do the Chuckles the Clown theme; remember, “….a little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants…..”

10) George Brett is getting credit for Royals' recent 10-2 surge, but fact of matter is, KC's pitching is what has improved; during this 10-2 streak, KC has allowed a total of only 26 runs.

9) Former Pats’/Chiefs’ GM Scott Pioli, another one of the men Tom Brady has made very rich, signed on as a studio analyst for NBC’s Sunday Night Football. Pioli is married to Bill Parcells’ daughter; it is great to see a bald man with glasses get a good job, so we wish him well, even if he did get to his current position in part because Bill Belichick is a cheatin’ bast--- oh wait, I said I wouldn’t bring that up anymore.

8) Then there is the whole karma aspect of Russian President Putin stealing Robert Kraft’s Super Bowl ring; Kraft’s employees chea—damn, I can’t say it, but you get the idea. Can’t complain about losing something you cheated (whoops) to get in the first place. Why the hell would he bring a Super Bowl ring to Russia anyhow? Why was he even in Russia?

7) Mets’ pitcher Carlos Torres pitched the 6th/7th innings in his 2013 big league debut Sunday, after he got to NYC at 9am, after an all-night trip from Las Vegas. Now Torres is in Atlanta for the week; does the team set him up with a place to live when he gets back to the Big Apple?

6) Former Oklahoma State QB Wes Lunt, who was the Cowboys’ starter before getting hurt LY, has landed at Illinois, meaning he must really like orange. Wonder how hard the Illini coaches recruited him, since they took heat for aggressively pursuing Penn State’s potential transfers last spring, after the whole Jerry Sandusky debacle hit the fan.

5) Name of the Day: Odediah Church, a 6-7 10th grader who will be visiting Bradley this week. Hopefully he has a game to match his name.

4) Wonder what its like to be Clipper guard Eric Bledsoe; you’re coming off a good season playing for a good team, but every trade rumor your team is involved in has you getting traded. Its good to be wanted by other teams, but you’d think your own team would want to keep you, too.

3) A guy I follow on Twitter actually wagered on the Miss America pageant Sunday night; he and his girlfriend plunked down a few sheckels on Miss Utah, which apparently looked like a solid wager until she opened her mouth and began to speak, then it all fell apart very quickly. Go figure.

2) Wonder what Lane Kiffin got his father for Father's Day? I mean, what do you get for your dad after you fire him to save your own butt?

1) At the risk of being Captain Redundant, Miami is now 12-0 vs spread (all double digit wins) in game following their last twelve losses. Their pointspread results the last 11 games? LWLWLWLWLWL. If you take the Spurs, bet ‘em on the money line.

See spot. See spot bet: This week's best spot bet opportunities

Spot bets are a classic handicapping practice that have proven profitable no matter what sport you’re betting. Whether it’s a team looking past this week’s opponent, one coming off a hard-fought victory, or a rough patch of schedule, bettors can find value picking their spots.

Lookahead spot

The ACC undergoes a face lift this season but the contenders remain the same. Florida State is one of the constants in the conference and is projected to finish second in the ACC Atlantic Division and is listed at +250 to win the ACC crown. One of the Seminoles’ biggest tests of the season comes against the rival Miami Hurricanes in Week 10. But before these Sunshine State schools collide, FSU hosts North Carolina State as 20-point home chalk on October 26.

The Wolfpack are sandwiched between Florida State’s games with the ACC’s favorites (+175) – Clemson and Miami. The Noles lost to NC State, 17-16, as 17-point road favorites last year and have had trouble meeting the oddmakers’ expectations against the Wolfpack. Florida State is 6-6 SU but 1-10-1 ATS versus NC State since 2001. Those 20-points look like a gift with the Noles peaking past the Pack and ahead to the Canes.

Letdown spot

The St. Louis Rams were one of the best bets in football last season, despite playing in the tough NFC West. They managed to cover in 11 of their 16 games overall and went a stunning 6-0 ATS versus division foes – San Francisco, Seattle and Arizona. St. Louis is looking up at the Niners and Seahawks again and has a home date with San Francisco in Week 4, pegged as a 4-point home underdog.

Win or lose in Week 4, the Rams will be in danger of a letdown spot against their next opponent, the Jacksonville Jaguars. Early lines project them as a 6.5-point home favorite versus the lowly Jags and if they show some fight against the 49ers, bettors may take this spread to a touchdown or beyond. Last season, after playing San Francisco to a 24-24 tie in Week 10, St. Louis fell flat on its face visiting the New York Jets. History may repeat itself in Week 5.

Schedule spot

The Los Angeles Dodgers - formerly of Brooklyn - have come back to the Big Apple for an interleague set with the New York Yankees, playing two games in the Bronx this week starting Tuesday. Following Wednesday’s 7:05 p.m. ET start in New York, the Dodgers hop back across the country to visit the San Diego Padres Thursday.

Los Angeles is just 10-19 on the road for -10.11 units heading into Game 1 with the Yankees, having dropped two of three games at Pittsburgh this weekend to open the nine-game road swing. San Diego, on the hand, was the best bet in baseball last week and is riding a six-game winning streak into Monday’s visit to San Francisco. The four-game set with L.A. kicks off Thursday night.
