Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking

Roy Halladay (19-10, 2.49 ERA), Philadelphia Phillies

Halladay has won three straight and nine of his last 11, but hasn’t exactly been his untouchable self over the last little while. He has given up at least three runs in each of his last five starts while also serving up nine home runs. He is coming off a 10-5 win over Florida in which he gave up three runs on 10 hits over six innings while striking out nine.

Carlos Zambrano (9-6, 3.75 ERA), Chicago Cubs

Zambrano has been a completely different pitcher since returning to the Cubs after he attended anger-management treatment. He’s 6-0 over eight starts since Aug. 9 and has allowed only three runs over his last four outings. Zambrano has only allowed seven home runs this season.

Slumping


Philip Hughes (16-8, 4.31 ERA) New York Yankees

Hughes has dropped two of his last three starts and has allowed 10 runs over his last two starts. He dropped a 4-3 decision his last time out against Tampa Bay, giving up four runs and a pair of homers over six hits. He went 6 2/3 innings over 106 pitches.

15 DIME baseball selection on the CINCINNATI REDS over Milwaukee as these N.L. Central rivals continue their series at Miller Park. The Reds are a road chalk ranging from -125 to -130 depeading on where you shop, so hopefully you have multiple wagering options and take advaintage of the best number possible. Note that you must list both Cincinnati’s Edinson Volquez and Milwaukee’s Dave Bush as the starting pitchers. If either does not start, this play is VOID.





5 DIME baseball selection on the NEW YORK YANKEES (-1 ½ RUNS) on the run line over Tampa Bay as this battle for first in the A.L. East contlnues at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees are a +145 underdog on the run line across the board in this contest. All run-line plays require listing starting pitchers, so both New York’s Phil Hughes and Tampa Bay’s James Shields must start this game. If either doesn’t, this play is VOID.








REDS – 15 DIME





Way too many factors working in Cincinnati’s favor going into this contest in Milwaukee. Let’s count them out in no particular order:





1) With their 5-2 win over the Brewers last night – coupled with the Cardinals’ 4-0 loss in Florida – the Reds have lowered their magic number to six, meaning all they need is a combanation of six wins or six St. Louis losses to end a lengthy playoff drought. Thus you know the Reds are bringing a focused effort with their A lineup tonight





2) Although this has been a less than ideal month of September for Cincinnati (6-10 last 16 games, including 2-9 on the road), the Reds have found the perfect medicine in Milwaukee. They’ve won eight of nine meetings against their division rivals this season, and going back to last summer, Cincinnati is 12-1 against the Brewers, including 6-1 at Miller Park





3) Although Edinson Volquez has struggled since rejoining the Reds rotation in late July – he missed the first four months of the season while recovering from arm surgery – Cincinnati is 7-3 in his 10 starts this season, and it is 17-4 in his last 21 starts on the road! And even though Volquez has a 6.84 ERA in five career starts against the Brewers, the Reds are 4-1 in those five games, including 4-0 in Milwaukee.





4) The Brewers are handing the ball to right-hander Dave Bush, whom you just cannot trust at all. He gave up six runs (five earned) in 4 1/3 innings in his last start on Wednesday at Houston, and even though the Brewers rallied for an 8-6 win, it doesn’t change the fact that Bush is 3-6 with a 5.61 ERA in 12 starts since the All-Star break, with opposing hitters batting .300 in those 12 games.





5) Finally, Bush has been a mess against the Reds in his career, going 2-4 with a 7.07 ERA in 12 starts. In those dozen contests, he’s given up 49 earned runs, 76 hits (10 homers) and 27 walks in 62 1/3 innings, and the Reds are hitting .305 against him. Milwaukee’s record in Bush’s last nine starts against Cincy: 2-7.





One last point about Bush: As noted above, the Brewers prevailed in Bush’s start against Houston. Well, Bush has made 15 straight starts since June 30, and not once during this stretch has Milwaukee scored consecutive victiories.





Additionally, the Brewers are in funks of 16-35 when Bush pitches as an underdog, 1-7 when Bush is a home pup, and 5-12 versus winning teams. The Reds are on positive streaks of 45-22 as a favorite (7-1 last eight as a road chalk), 37-18 against N.L. Central foes and 74-29 against opponents with a losing record.








YANKEES (-1½ runs) – 5 DIME





Don’t trust Tampa Bay starting pitcher James Shields one bit in this game. Shields has served up more home runs than any pitcher in baseball (32, including 19 on the road), and now he’s pitching in a ballpark that’s extremely susceptible to the long ball against a team that’s hit the third-most homers in all of baseball (New York has gone deep 184 times in 150 games).





True, Shields controlled the Yankees in his most recent start, allowing just a run while scattering eight hits and two walks in 6 1/3 innings, with Tampa prevailing 4-3 at home. And true, Shields has been solid in five starts against New York this season (2-0, 2.51 ERA, 1.18 WHIP). But three of those games were at home; in two starts at Yankee Stadium, he’s got a 4.05 ERA, giving up three long balls in 13 1/3 innings. Throw in five starts at the old Yankee Stadium, and Shields has a 5.62 ERA and has served up eight gopher balls in 41 2/3 innings pitching in the Bronx. What’s more, the Rays are just 4-10 in Shields’ 14 career starts against the Yanekes.





The only reason this isn’t a bigger play is because Yankees right-hander Phil Hughes has been struggling in the second half of the season (5-6, 5.37 ERA since the All-Star break, compared with 11-2 with a 3.65 ERA previously) and he hasn’t fared very well in his two outings against the Rays (0-2, 4.97 ERA). However, Tampa is batting just .213 against Hughes this year, and Hughes has been much better at home (3.52 ERA, 1.19 WHIP) than on the road (4.88 ERA, 1.30 WHIP).





As for the run-line aspect to this play, it’s simple to explain: When the Yankees win, they tend to do so convilcingly. Of their 90 victories, 72 have been by multiple runs. And of their 18 wins with Hughes starting, 17 have covered the run line.





Finally, the home team has taken control of this rivalry lately, winning seven of the last 10 meetings, with New York going 3-1 at home and playing 27 runs in those four games.
