Game of the Day: Kings at Blackhawks

Los Angeles Kings at Chicago Blackhawks (-144, 5)

Series is tied 3-3

After being a virtual no-show in the first four contests, Patrick Kane has been all the rage as the Chicago Blackhawks staved off elimination on two separate occasions to send the Western Conference final to a decisive seventh game. The reigning Conn Smythe Trophy winner looks to continue his sizzling stretch as the defending Stanley Cup-champion Blackhawks host the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday night. Kane followed a four-point performance by scoring his second goal of the contest with 3:45 remaining in the third period to snap a tie as Chicago skated to a 4-3 road triumph in Game 6 on Friday.

"I'm sure it's fun for the fans to watch, but we know (the Kings are) a resilient group," Kane told the Chicago Sun-Times. "They've won two Game 7s on the road in the first two series. It's going to be a tough one." Should the Blackhawks emerge victorious on Sunday, they would vie for their third Stanley Cup title in five years when they face the Original Six-rival New York Rangers. If Los Angeles avoids suffering a third straight setback for the third time this postseason, the Kings would attempt to secure their second title in three years.

LINE HISTORY: Line opened at Blackhawks -144 and moved as high as -151 before falling back to the original line.

INJURY WATCH: Kings: D Robyn Regehr (Out - Knee) Blackhawks: G Nikolai Khabibulin (Out - Shoulder)

WHAT BOOKS SAY: "In a highly contested series's where the Blackhawks have staved off elimination for 2 straight games to tie the series at 3 games a piece. The Kings are 6-0 this spring in elimination games. So far all the action is on the defending choampion Blackhawks, with 71% of the action on the moneyline and 96% of the action on the puck line." - Michael Stewart of Carbonsports.com

ABOUT THE KINGS: Drew Doughty has proven himself to be a winner in his career, collecting gold medals at the World Junior Hockey Championships in 2008 and a pair for Team Canada in the last two Olympic Games - as well as the Stanley Cup title in 2012. The 24-year-old defenseman has also been mammoth in this series, recording three goals and setting up four others in the last five games. "We had two chances to close out this series and we're not going to blow a third one," Doughty said.

ABOUT THE BLACKHAWKS: Jonathan Toews aptly has been nicknamed "Captain Serious" for his even-keel nature - regardless of the circumstance. "I don’t think anything motivates you like having your back against the wall, potentially walking into a game where your season might end," Toews said with little change in tone. "... We have a chance to stay alive and keep playing hockey for a little while longer." Chicago has done precisely that when series have extended past Game 4 over the last two years - posting a perfect 13-0 mark.

TRENDS:

*Blackhawks are 51-18 in their last 69 home games.
*Over is 4-1 in Kings last 5 games playing on 1 days rest.
*Home team is 10-4 in the last 14 meetings.
*Kings are 1-7 in the last 8 meetings in Chicago.

COVERS CONSENSUS: 64 percent of Covers users are backing the Blackhawks at -144.

MLB Betting News and Notes - Week #9
As we flip the calendar to June, school will be out and so too should the National Basketball Association playoffs be concluding sometime later this month. It’s also the time of the season when Major League Baseball pitchers look to ace assignments in hopes of keeping their teams in the pennant chase. To get a better feel on what to expect, StatSystemsSports.net Systems Analyst Larry Hertner examines their results from past assignments.

Listed below are hurlers that have enjoyed a two-to-one or better success ratio in team starts the last three seasons during the month of June. On the flip side, Hertner has also listed pitchers that struggle in June team starts, winning 33% percent or less of their efforts. To qualify pitchers must have made a minimum of 10 starts, with at least one start each June over the last three years.

GOOD MONTH PITCHERS

•Clay Buchholz, (9-0, 100%) - The Boston Red Sox right-hander is in the midst of a horrific 2014 season at 2-4 with a Godzilla-sized ERA of 7.02. On May 28th he was placed on the DL for a hyperextended left knee and his return is not known.

•A.J. Burnett, (9-4, 69.2%) - After escaping the pressure of the Yankees, Burnett has evolved into a more complete pitcher and really mixes his pitches well. No reason he cannot continue his success of the past this month if he does a better job either working further inside or staying away from left-hand hitters, who are batting .297 against Burnett.

•Bartolo Colon, (9-2, 81.8%) - The rotund right-hander from the Dominican just turned 41 years old and has not had the same kind of success in New York as the past couple of seasons in Oakland. He can have another strong June if he spots his fastball better to hit the catcher’s target.

•R.A. Dickey, (12-4, 75.0%) - While the knuckleballer has not been terrific, he’s lowered his ERA a run and been part of the reason Toronto leapfrogged into first place in the American League East. With the Rogers Centre having the roof open more frequently with summer here, that should add a little more “dance” to Dickey’s main pitch to help his club keep posting wins.

•C.C. Sabathia, (12-4, 75.0%) - The big left-hander was placed on the disable list on May 14 with degenerative changes in his right knee and according to manager Joe Girardi, the soonest Sabathia will be back with New York is July.

•Max Scherzer, (11-4, 73.3%) - While Scherzer has not been as devastating as he was in 2013, he’s still allowing fewer hits to innings pitched and on pace to have well over 200 strikeouts. Right-hand hitters are right on the Mendoza Line with a .204 batting average against him. Expect the positive results to continue.

•Justin Verlander, (13-5, 72.2%) - It has been an unusual season to say the least for Verlander. For the first time since 2008, he’s well below a punch-out per inning (27.2 percent lower) and if he continues to dole out free passes at this rate, he could set a career high for walks. The velocity and command have not been there, will the warmer weather help Verlander heat up, or is something simply not right?

•C.J. Wilson, (13-3, 81.2%) - Though he’s behind the pace that made him a 17-game winner a season ago, Wilson’s other numbers are all better to this point of the season which suggests he could be a big winner the rest of the way. In his past 10 outings he has a sharp 2.54 ERA and he’s devouring those to the left side of the plate in the batter’s box, holding them to a .194 average.

•Jordan Zimmermann, (13-3, 81.2%) - The Wisconsin native season has gone like his team, not so hot, surrendering 38 base hits in 26.2 innings in May, not once getting beyond the sixth inning. This is uncharacteristic for Zimmermann who is usually very consistent. Let’s see if he turns it around this month and throws like he has in the past compared to opposing hitter’s raking him for .307 BA this season.

BAD MONTH PITCHERS

•Homer Bailey, (2-9, 18.1%) - The Reds right-hander might be 5-3 as the month starts, but his winning record will not last long if his ERA still remains around 5 and opposing batters continue to club him at a .295 BA rate. Bailey’s been like a batting practice pitcher versus lefties, who are hitting an astonishing .380 against him.

•Doug Fister, (3-10, 23.0%) - Fister did not join the Washington rotation until May 9 because of injury and has thrown fairly well to this point. A good chunk of the losses in June were thanks to a sorry Seattle clubs he toiled for. But given the Nationals scoring woes and disturbing defense, Fister might have to be great to alter his previous fortunes.

•Jeremy Guthrie, (4-9, 30.7%) - A middle of the rotation starter, Guthrie had a couple poor outings in May to help ‘raise’ his ERA to 4.14; however, he’s also been a victim of lack of run support and should have a better record than 2-4. While it is not a vast number of starts, be aware Guthrie has an ERA of over 6 in day games this season.

•Ricky Nolasco, (4-12, 25.0%) - Minnesota must have no pitching prospects ready to join the big club because how else could you explain starting Nolasco with a 6.12 ERA, with opponents hitting a robust .322 against his very hittable tosses.

•Bud Norris, (4-10, 28.5%) - No hiding from this fact, any baseball bettor would at least consider Norris when he’s pitching at home, but put a road uniform on him and he is 15-32 for his career and definite play against material.

•Anibal Sanchez, (4-8, 33.3%) - Throughout his career, Sanchez has never been a pitcher who has received proper run support. Though the Tigers offense has been solid most of the season, Sanchez has a .500 record with a stellar 2.49 ERA and opposing batters have a feeble .183 BA against him. If Detroit scores, he could reverse past indiscretions. If not, another losing month could occur.

Game 7 - Kings at Blackhawks

Chicago rallied for a 4-3 road win over Los Angeles on Friday, which helped the Blackhawks force a decisive seventh game in the Western Conference Finals.

The puck will drop at 8:05 p.m. ET on Sunday from the United Center and the oddsmakers have installed the Blackhawks as minus-150 favorites (Bet $100 to win $66) for Game 7 while the Kings are listed as plus-130 road underdogs (Bet $100 to win $130). The total is 5 goals, which has been shaded to the Over (-120).

Even though the Blackhawks won at the Staples Center on Friday, the home team has gone 4-2 in the first six games of this series. Los Angeles won 6-2 at Chicago in Game 2.

During the regular season, Chicago won all three matchups against Los Angeles, two of the wins coming at home.

In the playoffs, Chicago has gone 8-1 at home with the lone setback mentioned above. Puck-line bettors should note that five of the eight wins have come by two or more goals. The ‘over’ has gone 5-3-1.

Los Angeles has produced a 6-5 road mark in this year’s playoffs. Three of the five losses were by two or more goals. During this span, the Kings offense have been held to three goals or less only twice, which has helped the ‘over’ go 7-3-1.

Most would believe playing at home in a Game 7 would be an advantage for Anaheim on Friday but it’s certainly not 100 percent.

There have been 152 Game 7’s in the NHL Playoffs and the home squad owns a 94-58 (61.8%) record.

Statistically, those numbers seem decent for the home team but they haven't held up at all in this year’s playoffs. Bettors have watched six Game 7’s this postseason and the road team has produced a 5-1 (83%) record.

Los Angeles Kings 6 at Anaheim Ducks 2
Montreal Canadiens 3 at Boston Bruins 1
New York Rangers 2 at Pittsburgh Penguins 1
Philadelphia Flyers 3 at New York Rangers 4
Minnesota Wild 5 at Colorado Avalanche 4
Los Angeles Kings 5 at San Jose Sharks 1

The ‘over’ has gone 4-2 in the six Game 7’s this postseason.

Los Angeles is 6-4 all-time in Game 7’s while Chicago has gone 8-5.

Recent Game 7 History

The Kings defeated both the Sharks and Ducks in a Game 7 matchup in this year's postseason, plus they knocked off San Jose in the 2013 playoffs.

Los Angeles

2014 – Los Angeles Kings 6 at Anaheim Ducks 2
2014 – Los Angeles Kings 4 at San Jose Sharks 3
2013 – San Jose Sharks 1 at Los Angeles Kings 2

Since Chicago became competitive again in 2008 and started making the playoffs on an annual basis, they haven't had much experience in Game 7 matchups. The Blackhawks have only played in two and they've gone 1-1 with both results coming in overtime.

As mentioned above, road teams have won 83 percent (5-1) of the Game 7’s in this year’s NHL Playoffs and that shouldn’t be surprising. In the previous three playoff campaigns, the road team has been competitive, going 6-10 in the previous 16 decisive battles. Five of the 16 went to an extra session but none of this year’s Game 7’s have seen overtime.

Cup hinges on Game 7 for Chicago, Kings

CHICAGO (AP) - Jonathan Quick would rather be resting up than staring at yet another seventh game.

There's not much he can do about that now.

A wild and memorable Western Conference final between the Los Angeles Kings and Blackhawks comes down to a win-or-go-home Game 7 in Chicago on Sunday night.

''I guess we can get used to it,'' Quick, the Kings' goalie, said after a 4-3 loss in Game 6 on Friday night in Los Angeles. ''We don't want to be used to it. If you play Game 7s throughout the whole playoffs, it is going to be pretty tough on your body. Whatever. We're in this situation. Before the series if we were asked, `Would you want to go to Game 7 against Chicago?' and be put in that spot, a one-game thing, I think we would take it.''

It'll be the third Game 7 of the postseason for the Kings, who dropped the first three games in the opening round against San Jose and then went the distance with Anaheim. They blew a 3-1 series lead to Chicago, and now, it comes down to this.

The winner hosts the New York Rangers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals on Wednesday night.

While the Kings tried to put aside their frustration after missing out on two opportunities to clinch the series, the Blackhawks were breathing a little easier after taking Game 6.

''It's nice to see that resilience not only in this game but in this series so far,'' captain Jonathan Toews said. ''We're giving ourselves a heck of a chance going home for Game 7.''

The Blackhawks were just about out of it after dropping Game 4. Back-to-back losses in Los Angeles left them in a 3-1 hole and on the brink of elimination after knocking out the Kings in the conference finals last year on the way to the championship.

Instead, they jumped back into it with two thrilling victories.

There was that epic double-overtime victory in Game 5 at home with Michal Handzus scoring the winner, and Game 6 Friday was about as tense. The Blackhawks survived thanks to a late surge by Patrick Kane after the teams traded leads in the third period.

Chicago led 2-1 after Kane and Ben Smith scored in the second. But there were two big swings in the third.

The Kings looked like they were on their way up 3-2 after Drew Doughty beat a screened Corey Crawford with a wrist shot for his third goal in four games to tie it and fed Alec Martinez for a score.

Kane, whose career has been defined by big plays at the biggest moments, wouldn't let the Blackhawks fade. He set up Duncan Keith for the tying goal with 8:26 left and fired in the winner from a patch of ice near the painted Stanley Cup logo with 3:45 left.

So the series comes down to a Game 7, the third of the postseason for the Kings, who are 6-0 in elimination games this year. The Blackhawks have won nine of their past 11 elimination games.

''We know that we can still beat this Chicago Blackhawks team,'' Doughty said. ''But we also know it's not going to be easy either. They're going to have their best game in this Game 7, especially in their home rink.''

It would help if they contained Kane.

He has come up big in the past two games with seven points after being held to just one in the first four games. He had two goals and an assist Friday and four assists in Game 5, compared to just one assist through the first four games.

He's been able to find at least some open ice, something he wasn't able to do earlier in the series, and the Blackhawks are feeding off that.

''There's still not much room out there in this series,'' Kane said. ''Right now you have to take advantage of your opportunities when you do get space. Playing with two hard workers that work really hard to get the puck back, have made my life a lot better as far as getting the puck in good areas where I can make plays. I give the credit to Saader (Brandon Saad) and Shawsy (Andrew Shaw).''

June Good Month/Bad Month Pitchers

Listed below are hurlers that have enjoyed a two-to-one or better success ratio in team starts the last three seasons during the month of June. On the flip side, we’ve also listed pitchers that struggle in June team starts, winning 33% percent or less of their efforts. To qualify pitchers must have made a minimum of 10 starts, with at least one start each June over the last three years. Note: * designates pitcher was on this list last year.

GOOD MONTH PITCHERS:

Buchholz, Clay • 9-0

The Boston right-hander is in the midst of a horrific season at 2-4 with a Godzilla-sized ERA of 7.02. On May 28 he was placed on the DL for a hyperextended left knee and his return is not known.

Burnett, A. J. • 9-4

After escaping the pressure of the Yankees, Burnett has evolved into a more complete pitcher and really mixes his pitches well. No reason he cannot continue his success of the past this month if he does a better job either working further inside or staying away from left-hand hitters, who are batting .297 against Burnett.

Colon, Bartolo • 9-2

The rotund righty from the Dominican just turned 41 years old and has not had the same kind of success in New York as the past couple of seasons in Oakland. He can have another strong June if he spots his fastball better to hit the catcher’s target.

Dickey, R. A. • 12-4

While the knuckleballer has not been terrific, he’s lowered his ERA a run and been part of the reason Toronto leapfrogged into first place in the AL East. With the Rogers Centre having the roof open more frequently with summer here, that should add a little more “dance” to Dickey’s main pitch to help his club keep posting wins.

Sabathia, C. C. • 12-4

The big left-hander was placed on the DL on May 14 with degenerative changes in his right knee and according to manager Joe Girardi, the soonest Sabathia will be back with New York is July.

Scherzer, Max • 11-4

While Scherzer has not been as devastating as he was in 2013, he’s still allowing fewer hits to innings pitched and on pace to have well over 200 strikeouts. Right-hand hitters are right on the Mendoza Line with a .204 batting average against him. Expect the positive results to continue.

Verlander, Justin • 13-5

It has been unusual season to say the least for Verlander. For the first time since 2008, he’s well below a punch-out per inning (27.2 percent lower) and if he continues to dole out free passes at this rate, he could set a career high for walks. The velocity and command have not been there, will the warmer weather help Verlander heat up, or is something simply not right?

Wilson, C. J. • 13-3

Though he’s behind the pace that made him a 17-game winner a season ago, Wilson’s other numbers are all better to this point of the season which suggests he could be a big winner the rest of the way. In his past 10 outings he has a sharp 2.54 ERA and he’s devouring those to the left side of the plate in the batter’s box, holding them to a .194 average.

Zimmermann, Jordan • 13-3

The Wisconsin native season has gone like his team, not so hot, surrendering 38 base hits in 26.2 innings in May, not once getting beyond the sixth inning. This is uncharacteristic for Zimmermann who is usually very consistent. Let’s see if he turns it around this month and throws like he has in the past compared to opposing hitter’s raking him for .307 BA this season.

BAD MONTH PITCHERS:

Bailey, Homer • 2-9

The Reds righty might be 5-3 as the month starts, but his winning record will not last long if his ERA is still remains around 5 and opposing batters continue to club him at a .295 BA rate. Bailey’s been like a batting practice pitcher versus lefties, who are hitting an astonishing .380 against him.

Fister, Doug • 3-10

Fister did not join the Washington rotation until May 9 because of injury and has thrown fairly well to this point. A good chunk of the losses in June were thanks to sorry Seattle clubs he toiled for. But given the Nationals scoring woes and disturbing defense, Fister might have to be great to alter his previous fortunes.

Guthrie, Jeremy • 4-9

A middle of the rotation starter, Guthrie had a couple poor outings in May to help ‘raise’ his ERA to 4.14; however, he’s also been a victim of lack of run support and should have a better record than 2-4. While it is not a vast number of starts, be aware Guthrie has an ERA of over 6 in day games this season.

Nolasco, Ricky • 4-12

Minnesota must have no pitching prospects ready to join the big club because how else could you explain starting Nolasco with a 6.12 ERA, with opponents hitting a robust .322 against his very hittable tosses.

Norris, Bud • 4-10

No hiding from this fact, any baseball bettor would at least consider Norris when he’s pitching at home, but put a road uniform on him and he is 15-32 for his career and definite play against material.

Sanchez, Anibal • 4-8

Throughout his career, Sanchez has never been a pitcher who has received proper run support. Though the Tigers offense has been solid most of the season, Sanchez has a .500 record with a stellar 2.49 ERA and opposing batters have a feeble .183 BA against him. If Detroit scores, he could reverse past indiscretions. If not, another losing month could occur.

Big time matchup between the 36-20 Giants at the 30-26 Cardinals. Nice pitching matchup also as Tim Hudson 5-2 1.92 era faces off with Lance Lynn who is 6-2 with a 3.13 era. I'm not sold the Hudson is 100% healty and this line kind of speaks to that as Vegas looks to bait a public play on the Giants and so far 65% of the public are backing them yet this line has moved 8 cents the wrong way. Cardinals want to win this series Ill take the more motivated Cards at home on a getaway day for the Giants. Take the Cardinals for a 15* winner.

Harang also has gotten hammered by these Marlins in two starts this season, including giving up 9 runs in 4 innings on April 30. Marlins starter Nathan Eovaldi has won his past two starts so let’s take him and the Fish over the overrated Harang

WUNDERDOG SPORTS FREE PICK

Game: San Francisco Giants @ St. Louis Cardinals
Time: Sunday 06/01 2:15 PM Eastern
Pick: Game Total UNDER 7.5 (-115)

Fourth straight road game for San Francisco, cooling off on offense yesterday in a 2-0 loss. They struck out 13 times, equaling their second-most in 2014. At least they have Tim Hudson going here, who has found the fountain of youth with a sizzling 5-2 record and a 1.92 ERA after going seven innings in a 4-0 win over the Cubs on Tuesday. San Francisco is on a 13-6-2 run UNDER the total, and the UNDER is 35-13-3 in the Giants last 51 road games against a team with a winning home record. They face a St. Louis team that isn’t hitting, 20th in runs scored, 24th in slugging, but staying in the hunt with a dynamite pitching staff. Starter Lance Lynn has a 1.64 ERA in his last three starts and is coming off his first career shutout. The right-hander allowed five hits and walked three New York Yankees in a 6-0 home win Tuesday. The UNDER is 15-7 when the Cardinals face the National League West, so look for a low scoring, defensive battle. Play the Giants/Cardinals UNDER the Total.

SPORTS WAGERS

MLB

Baltimore/HOUSTON Over 8½

Last season Scott Feldman shaved more than a run off his 2012 ERA even as his walk and strikeout rates both went in the wrong direction. This year his walks are down but so too are his strikeouts in a big way. Feldman has 22 K’s in 48 innings, meaning he’s striking out roughly one batter every four innings. In Feldman’s last start at pitcher-friendly Kansas City, he went six full and did not strike out a single batter. Feldman has allowed 27 hits over his last three starts covering just 15 innings. His 3.02 ERA is not close to being supported by his skills. Feldman’s 1.71 WHIP over his last four starts does not coincide with an ERA just above three. Feldman does keep ball on ground... except when it flies out of park and with his tiny margin for error he could use a home that suppresses HR. Unfortunately for him, Minute Maid is not the place. If there was ever a pitcher in line for a serious ERA regression, Scott Feldman is it.

The Orioles have lost Wei-Yin Chen’s last two games by scores of 8-7 and 7-6. Chen allowed five runs in both games and surrendered four jacks combined. After 10 starts, Chen has a WHIP of 1.41 and a BAA of .306. He’s been unable to keep runners off base the entire season and this is a park that is unforgiving to pitchers with a high line-drive rate and that applies here. Chen’s line-drive rate over his last three starts is a troubling 38% and that’s the highest in the majors over a three-start stretch. The Astros .277 batting average over the last seven games is 5th best in the major leagues and they figure to at least get three or four here. The first three games of this series have all gone under the total, which has created a lower number today. We’ll look to take advantage of what we trust is a very beatable total here.


Kansas City +160 over TORONTO

Mark Buehrle leads the majors in wins with nine and those victories are supported by his 2.33 ERA. However, Buehrle’s numbers are not supported by his skills and we can guarantee you 100% that Buehrle will not be able to maintain that low ERA all year. Buehrle’s been greatly aided by an 81% strand rate. His 1.23 WHIP is actually higher than the league average, meaning he’s allowing more base-runners than more than half the starters in this league. He has just 43 K’s in 73 innings and his swing and miss rate is also pedestrian at just 6%. This matchup does not favor Buerhle either, as the Royals have struck out the least amount of times in MLB so Buehrle will need a whole lot of good fortune to escape the inevitable jams he’ll be in here. Buehrle’s xERA of 4.13 says some rough starts are forthcoming and the possibility of that happening here looks high.

Jeremy Guthrie is 0-2 over his last three starts but his ERA of 2.57 over that span says he deserved better. We’re not going to sugarcoat this and say that Guthrie is a better option than Buehrle because Guthrie’s chance of blowing up is probably greater than Buehrle’s. However, for whatever reason, Guthrie has had huge success at this venue over the past three years with a .194 BAA and a 0.47 ERA over three starts covering 19 innings. That may or may not hold up but Kansas City has outstanding relief and we’re betting that Buehrle gets tagged for some hits and runs. Remember, always buy low and sell high. Mark Buehrle’s stock is soaring right now, making us sellers in this market. This line is around +140 at most places but we found a +160 at SIA, so get in on that big overlay sooner rather than later.


OAKLAND -1 +106 over L.A. Angels

Before his first start of the year, we noted that Sonny Gray had 3.00 ERA upside. In his first 10 starts, Gray has made that projection seem conservative—he’s 5-1 with an ERA of to 2.31. Gray’s hit % and strand % say that his ERA will rise slightly but xERA shows that his skills remain as strong as in his rookie year. Gray boosted his K rate when he was in AAA in 2013 and he’s maintained that level in the majors. He also keeps the ball on the ground. Half of his games are in pitching-friendly O.co Coliseum but with so few fly balls, it doesn’t make much of a difference. Gray continues to dominate right-hand hitters. At 24 and coming off his first exposure to major league hitting, it wouldn’t have been surprising to see Gray occasionally struggle this year but that’s not been the case. With his 67%/0% dominant start/disaster start split, he’s avoided the disasters and frequently been dominant. This kid can pitch.

Once again, we’re going to fade Jared Weaver because no matter what people think, say or read, the numbers for Weaver just do not add up to his 2.99 ERA. Weaver’s groundball/fly-ball split is 36%/49%. That suggests balls will start leaving the yard more frequently. Weaver’s 83% strand rate is high and it’s unsustainable, as it’s roughly 8% higher than the league average. His 55 K’s in 72 innings is slightly above average but not by much. What has made Weaver so effective over the years is a lot of good fortune and the ability to change speeds. Truth be told, Weaver’s skills match guys like Jeremy Guthrie, Doug Fister and Phil Hughes. In summarizing, Weaver is not a high strikeout guy, he doesn’t have a groundball pitch, he’s posted a near-50% fly-ball rate in four of the past five seasons and his velocity is in the fifth straight year of decline. By the end of the year, Weaver’s ERA will be closer to 4 than 3 and we’ll be in line to profit when things start going south.
