Friday Is Here, The Weekend Awaits! Friday Plays/Leans

[Vapster]

Cubs EVEN- This game is a toss up. EXCEPT for starting pitching, and Cubs record vs White Sox. Dempster 1.64 ERA Last 22 Innings. 1-1 with a 2.40 ERA in eight overall appearances against the White Sox.

Even though he's winless on the road, he's still 2.48 ERA.

Contreras 10.12 ERA Last 16 Innings. 1-3 with a 6.39 ERA in five career starts versus the Cubs. He is 0-2 with a 5.23 ERA in three games against them at home. Cubs have won last 6, and last 9 of 10.

:cheers:

Texas +109- Take the home dog here. As Texas is a much better interleague team than Philly. Of Course, b careful of that horrible Texas bullpen! TEX are 11-4 in Gabbards last 15 starts on grass. TEX are 8-3 in their last 11 interleague home games. PHI are 1-7 in their last 8 interleague games.

The Phillies are 3-9 in interleague play, scoring 41 runs - the third-worst total in baseball.

Myers is 0-6 with a 7.54 ERA in eight road starts this year.

St. Louis +115- Pineiro is 4-1 with a 3.12 ERA in 10 appearances - six starts - versus Kansas City. Kansas City Is 3-13 Last 16 Friday Games. Should be a great game, I'll take the road dog with Pujols in the line-up (He wasn't when K.C. Swept St. Louis Last Time)

:cheers:

Milw +112/Minn -114...This is a toss up for me. Minnesota is on a ROLL right now. At home, only -114?! MIN are 11-1 in their last 12 overall. MIN are 8-0 in their last 8 games following a win. MIL are 5-11 in the last 16 meetings.

Guessing it's cause McClung is pitching so well for Milwaukee. He is 3-1 with a 2.55 ERA in fours starts this month. McClung is 2-0 with a 3.14 ERA in two starts and one relief appearance in interleague play this season.

BUT...McClung is 1-2 with a 7.53 ERA in three starts and one relief appearance versus the Twins.

BUT...Blackburn improved to 4-2 with a 2.20 ERA in seven home starts.

AND... 2-0 interleague starts, posting a 1.93 ERA.


ALSO...He's given up only two earned runs or less in six of his last seven starts.

Seattle +131- Wolf is 0-3 in interleague starts and 5.51 ERA. 4.24 ERA last 17 innings, while Washburn 2.04 ERA last 17.2 innings. SD are 3-13 in their last 16 interleague home games.

San Diego has lost 10 out of their last 12 games. Maybe an OVER 7.5 play as well?! Over is 13-5 in the last 18 meetings.

:cheers:

A's -1.5 RL +127- A's OWN the Giants. SF are 4-11 in their last 15 interleague games.

Giants took a late flight out of Cleveland, while the A's played a FAST afternoon game @ home. Oakland (43-35) has swept the last two series between the teams, including a three-game set June 13-15.

The Athletics have outscored the Giants 27-7 over those six games. AND...

The A's pitchers have yielded just four runs over their last 48 innings against San Francisco.

Correia is 0-5, 6.75 ERA in his last five starts. Eveland has 2.37 ERA in his last three starts.

:cheers:

Florida -113- I look for the Marlins bats to wake up tonight. ARI are 5-14 in the last 19 meetings in Florida. Owings 7.88 ERA Last 16 Innings. ARI are 3-7 in Owings' last 10 starts on grass. His last five outings, he's 0-4 with an 8.53 ERA.

Nolasco 2.08 ERA Last 21 Innings. Florida won last three Nolasco starts, scoring 20 runs.

The Marlins (40-38) proceeded to sweep three games from Arizona at Dolphin Stadium, limiting the Diamondbacks to three runs in a series capped by a 4-0 win May 22.

The Diamondbacks are 12-20 since leaving Florida and are averaging 3.4 runs since May 20 - third-worst in baseball during that stretch.

Angels -110- Saunders 1.89 ERA On The Road This Year. Park 3-7 Record vs Angels.

Saunders 13-4 On The Road. LA Angels are 10-2 in their last 12 road games. Dodgers 2-6 Last 8 @ Home vs American League.

Angels 12-3 this year when Saunders Starts.

LAA are 9-2 in the last 11 meetings. Dodgers are 13-38 in their last 51 interleague games.

1-1 To Start...Liked Atlanta, But didn't play, cause thought they had too many players hurt...Reminds me...It's all about the pitching...Starting and bullpen. :shake: And Jurrjens has been pitching great lately...

vap, lookin at the Angels lineup... i dont like it..

Aybar, Kotch, and Anderson are the only LHBs...no matthews, figgins, willits, or izturis(obviosuly)

Park gets lit like a christmas tree against LHB... very sparse here on angel's side..any other thoughts?

 

[Vapster]

Going with Starting Pitching Tb...Angels Are The Hotter Team Right Now...Dodgers Aren't scoring much at home. Reminds me of that Florida game...3-1 Florida...I could see a 3-1 Angels Win here.

Saunders is just too hot right now. And if I lose cause of him, I can take it...:shake:
