Wednesday Marlins only beat the Mets MLB Discussion

[Coverdatspred]

very strong interest in Dodgers here.......time IMO for Corbin to pay the piper

I agree with the dodgers lean. Ryu has been very very good, not just recently but pretty much every time out.

A's could be without Cespedes tonight, left yesterday's game w/ sore hamstring.

Some of the data used to generate this chart is derived from Baseball Musings' Day-by-day database.

Rk.: The author's ranking of that pitcher for that day only. T: Pitcher throws left-handed or right-handed. Opp: The pitcher's opponent for the day. QR: "Quality Rating," or the starting pitcher's matchup rating -- separate from the author's ranking -- which accounts for past history (three years' worth as well as past 21 days), opponent and ballpark. OPS is the primary statistic used in the calculation. Ratings range from 1-10, with 10 representing the best possible matchup, statistically speaking, and 1 representing the worst. So, for example, a 10 is a must-start rating, while a 1 should be avoided (if possible); a 1-2 is poor, 3-4 is fair, 5-6 is average, 7-8 is very good and 9-10 is excellent. W-L: Pitcher's win-loss record. ERA: Pitcher's earned run average. WHIP: Pitcher's average number of walks plus hits surrendered per inning.




There isn't much middle ground with Wednesday's starting pitchers. Nine no-brainer-fantasy-start aces are owned in at least 85 percent of ESPN.com fantasy leagues (Justin Verlander, James Shields, Travis Wood, Paul Maholm, Francisco Liriano, Shelby Miller, Chris Sale, Patrick Corbin and Hyun-Jin Ryu), while 18 others are owned in less than 20 percent of the ESPN.com fantasy universe. The only three pitchers in the middle ground are Mike Leake (64 percent ownership), Jorge De La Rosa (47 percent ownership) and
Phil Hughes (22 percent ownership), and I really like all three of these options. I also see two other desirable fantasy plays with two pitchers who are owned in less than 2 percent of ESPN.com leagues:


Mike Leake (64 percent ESPN.com fantasy ownership) has had one heck of a 10-start run, going 5-3 (team 7-3) with a 2.19 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 4.3 K-to-BB ratio. Two of these outings were against the Chicago Cubs, who scored just two runs in each outing. Leake is 5-2 with a 3.44 ERA in 12 career starts against them, and his opponent has been horrendous at home this month, going 1-5 and scoring just 16 runs (2.67 per game) with a .165 BA, .267 OBP and .275 SLG. Start Leake in all fantasy formats on Wednesday.



Phil Hughes (22 percent ESPN.com fantasy ownership) has certainly had a roller coaster ride since the start of May, allowing 0, 6, 7, 2, 1, 5 and 0 earned runs in his past seven starts. The one pattern is that his past three road starts have all been outstanding, where he's got a 1.35 ERA, 0.80 WHIP, .169 opponents' BA and 18 K's in 20 innings. Hughes does have a fierce opponent on Wednesday with the Oakland Athletics, but this was the same team that he shut out for eight innings on May 4, fanning nine and allowing just six baserunners. The New York Yankees are 8-1 all-time versus the A's when Hughes pitches, and the right-hander has loved O.co Coliseum in his career, sporting a 1.69 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 9.0 K/9 in Oakland, holding these 57 batters to an unbelievable .115 BA, .193 OBP and .231 SLG. I see no reason not to start Hughes in all fantasy leagues on Wednesday.



Jorge De La Rosa (47 percent ESPN.com fantasy ownership) hasn't lost since April, going 5-0 with a 2.76 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and respectable 6.2 K/9 rate during the unbeaten string. The amazing thing is that five of these seven starts have come at Coors Field, the same venue he's pitching in on Wednesday against the visiting Washington Nationals, who haven't won a road series since May 3-5 at Pittsburgh. The Nats are 4-10 in their past 14 road tilts, scoring a mere 2.5 runs per game with a .193 BA and .322 slugging percentage. On the flip side, De La Rosa's Colorado Rockies teammates have pounded the baseball in their six June home games, scoring 39 runs (6.5 per game) with a .310 BA and .925 OPS. De La Rosa may never be worthy of 12-team fantasy leagues, but he's a good pickup for larger formats here.



Tyler Cloyd (0.8 percent ESPN.com fantasy ownership) has pitched very well in four of his five starts, with the exception being his six-run implosion in 2 1/3 innings at Fenway Park against the Boston Red Sox, who lead the majors in runs. In the four starts versus National League teams, Cloyd is 2-1 with a 2.00 ERA and 1.22 WHIP. His weak 1.3 K-to-BB ratio (16 K's, 12 BB's) this season will limit him to only the largest of fantasy leagues, especially against the Minnesota Twins who rank seventh-best in the majors with a offensive K-to-BB ratio of 2.3. But the Twins still have a below-average offense in hitting (.242, 24th in MLB) and scoring (252 runs, 18th in MLB). And their starting pitcher on Wednesday, Mike Pelfrey, would love to be considered merely "below average," as he's consistently been one of the worst starters in baseball with his 6.40 ERA, 1.72 WHIP and current six-start winless skid.

I can't remember the last time I felt good about a start by Dillon Gee (1.8 percent ESPN.com fantasy ownership), but he has sure been impressive in his past two outings, which not coincidentally, have come after he heard rumblings of losing his spot in the rotation. First he dominated the New York Yankees in the Bronx, allowing just one run in 7 1/3 innings with 12 strikeouts and no walks. He was almost as good in the nation's capital in his most recent start, limiting the Nationals to one run in seven innings with 7 K's and just one free pass. The St. Louis Cardinals are certainly no push-over, tied with the Rockies for the most runs in the National League, but they have managed a paltry .319 slugging percentage in 79 career plate appearances versus Gee. Standard-size leagues should continue to avoid him, but for NL-only formats and mixed leagues of 16+ teams, I do believe Gee has what it takes to post another quality start with at least six strikeouts against the mighty Redbirds.

Milwaukee @ MIAMI
Milwaukee -104 over MIAMI
BEST LINE: Pinnacle -104
Despite the loss last night to these same Marlins, there was a lot to like about the way the Brewers played. They were successful on a suicide squeeze and on moving runners over and getting them in. The defense was sharp and all of this suggests that their heads are in the game. Had it not been for a two-out unlikely jack by Giancarlo Stanton in the bottom of the eighth, the Brewers would have won their fifth straight. A favorable matchup and cheap price has us coming right back on them today. Kevin Slowey has long been an intriguing target due to his elite command, a strength that was always hidden due to chronic gopheritis. Now he's in the NL and has a pitcher-friendly home park but it hasn’t really mattered despite the continued low walk total. With an 88 mph fastball, extreme fly-ball tilt and overall ugly batted ball profile (27%/28%/45% - GB/LD/FB), Slowey isn’t fooling anyone. He’s 0-3 at home with a 4.66 ERA and he’s 1-2 over his last five starts with a 6.22 ERA and 1.54 WHIP.
Despite giving up four runs in each of his two starts, Alfredo Figaro is showing skills that hint a good outing is lurking. In 40 IP, Figaro has registered 33 K’s and issued just seven walks. Most of these numbers have been from the bullpen but Figaro has thrown 84 and 93 pitches in his two starts and looks more comfortable in the starting role. Over his last two appearances covering nine frames, Figaro has walked none and struck out eight. Figaro is a strong buy-low target here and we’re on it.
Play:


Our Pick
Milwaukee -104 (Risking 2.08 units - To Win: 2.00)

Philadelphia @ MINNESOTA
Philadelphia +107 over MINNESOTA
BEST LINE: Pinnacle +107
There is not a single reason to not fade Mike Pelfrey because this guy should not be favored over anyone. Pelfrey has a meager 28 K’s in 58 frames to go along with 20 walks issued. With a 5.37 xERA (6.97 actual ERA) and a 1.76 WHIP over his last five starts, Pelfrey is getting worse, not better. When Pelfrey starts, Minnesota’s chances for a loss are great. The Twins have lost Pelfrey’s last six starts and they’ve lost eight of his past nine starts. The Phillies offense has shown signs of life in June as they are averaging 4.8 runs per game and they figure to score off this stiff too.
Tyler Cloyd is not your typical right-handed pitcher. We’ve all heard the term “soft-tossing lefty” but Cloyd is a soft-tossing righty that was lights out at Triple-AAA with a 12-1 record and a 2.35 ERA. In five games started for the Phillies, Cloyd is 2-2 with a 3.68 ERA. He threw a gem against the Brewers in his last start in Milwaukee in a game he uncharacteristically walked five batters but allowed just four hits in 6.1 frames. Known for being a finesse pitcher, Cloyd locates his 87-90 fastball extremely well to both sides of the plate. To compliment the plus command of his fastball, he mixes in a curveball and changeup, keeping hitters honest. While Cloyd will never overpower anyone, his ability to change speeds and command his arsenal have allowed him to succeed in the minors and he’s carried that over to this level. What we know for sure is that Cloyd and the Phillies offer a lot more value taking back a tag than Pelfrey and the Twins spotting one in this spot.

Our Pick
Philadelphia +107 (Risking 2 units - To Win: 2.14)

Houston @ SEATTLE
Houston +132 over SEATTLE (5 innings)
BEST 5-INNING LINE: Pinnacle +132
1st 5 innings. This is a five inning play because the Astros rarely have the lead after nine innings and the fade here is on Jeremy Bonderman. Bonderman is coming off a gem against the Yankees but don’t buy into it, as he was torched in his first start at Minnesota when he surrendered three jacks, nine hits and seven runs in 4.2 innings. The 30-year-old Bonderman put up less-than-impressive numbers at Triple-A this year, with a 4.66 ERA, a 1.49 WHIP and only 33 strikeouts in 63 innings. Remember, this is at Triple-A. Bonderman did not pitch in 2011 or 2012 and in his last year in the majors with the Tigers back in 2010, he posted a 5.53 ERA in 170 innings. This experiment isn’t even a prayer, as the most likely scenario here is that Bonderman is torched in a very short stay with the Mariners and it’ll all be over soon.
Jordan Lyles quietly has posted some terrific skills vs. RH bats and he’s getting better against lefties too. With 31 K’s in 45 innings, 14 walks issued, a 50% groundball rate and a 2.55 ERA on the road, Lyles is a no-brainer choice opposing Bonderman in the first five frames.

San Francisco @ PITTSBURGH
PITTSBURGH -1½ +128 over San Francisco
BEST LINE: Pinnacle -1½ +133
The Pirates are playing to a packed house almost every night and they’re responded by winning 22 of 33 home games including last night’s 8-2 clobbering over this same guest. Now they get Barry Zito pitching away from AT&T Park. If you’re a regular reader of this section then you are very aware of our “fade Zito” philosophy and it’s for good reason. Barry Zito is probably the longest running stiff in the majors that has gotten by with no skills and pure luck over a two-year stretch but it’s starting to “even out”. Over his last five starts, Zito has the same number of walks (14) as strikeouts to go along with a 6.67 xERA. On the road, where he is not aided by some sick park factors, Zito is 0-3 with a 10.19 ERA in four starts. Here is his road résumé this season: At Milwaukee, 9 runs allowed in 2.1 innings, at San Diego, 6 runs allowed in 3.2 innings, at Toronto, 8 runs allowed in 5.2 innings and finally in his last road start at Colorado, five runs and 11 hits allowed in 5.2 innings. Barry Zito’s chances for success here are about the same as Tim Tebow’s chances of winning the starting job in New England.
We have no idea what Francisco Liriano is putting in his oatmeal but whatever it is, it’s working big time. Liriano owned the highest swinging strike rate (15.5%) of any starting pitcher in May. Liriano has struck out and incredible 47 hitters in 36 innings of work and in six starts has blown away every team he’s faced with the exception of the Tigers. Liriano has not been taken yard this season and will face a Giants team that is getting weaker without the services of Marco Scutaro, Pablo Sandoval and of course Angel Pagan. Huge pitching mismatch in the Bucs favor has extreme appeal.

 

[GWarner27]

A's could be without Cespedes tonight, left yesterday's game w/ sore hamstring.

I will take it

 

[GWarner27]

Think it's Sandoval hitting the DL as well as part of it too....I haven't seen Liriano really this season but I think he at worst is a very hot / cold type of SP. Being "hot" right now kinda concerns me. Granted the price is kinda absurd. Three good bats absent w Pagan , Pablo and Scutaro out....very hard game for me to get a read on to be honest. Pitt has the clear edges but best play might be 1st Inn yes score....sidenote see CC's continued 1st inn issues ......something to be reminded of

Charlie Morton is -105/-105 with Matt Cain tomorrow, I can't tell you how hard I would have hit Cain preseason if I knew about this

 

[SportsNut]

I've been trying to play as many overs in the midwest/ central teams as possible latley. I just feel like the ball ha decent aas been flying out of the park in those places....

KC has been the exception as they have kept all opponents to 3 run or less.......in june but I didn't like how shields pitched vs houston and looking at his recent past vs det ---generally a lot of hits allowed w mixed results...verlander allowed at least 3 run in 6 straight amd 7 straight overs

Seems like I'm talking myself into another kc over after losing it twice this series. Though oddly the F5 over was decent

 

[Gyno]

very strong interest in Dodgers here.......time IMO for Corbin to pay the piper

Dodgers lineup is pretty god awful right now w/o Hanley, Ellis, Kemp, Crawford.. I agree Corbin is going to regress sooner or later but I'm not sure this will be the time.

 

[SportsNut]

Absolutely agree gyno...I think I made a similar point yesterday about them. Maybe a poor choice of words w corbin

Ryu pitching well vs a team who doesn't score much v lefties should see arizona at 3 or less....Corbin kept SF off the board but should hve been worse then a 1-0 hole for arizona imo and then goldschidmt hits the 3 run hr in the b8th for the win - so think corbin was bailed out even though he allowed just 1 run after some shakier starts before that

I just think at a PK Ryu isa great opportunity to end Corbin's win streak

 

[Gyno]

Not really clear on why Slowey is going on 3 days rest but i see reasons to like Mia...

Not trusting Figaro, Braun on DL, Mil 5-13 L18 road, Mil 5-16 L21 as favs, 4-17 L21 game 3's.
Mia is 20-9 L29 w/ Barksdale and home teams are 61-22 L83 w/ Barksdale.

Initially, Slowey was set to start on Tuesday, but he was pushed back a day for good reason. Slowey threw seven innings of relief and collected the win in the 20-inning win over the Mets. Slowey is given an extra day.

 

[SportsNut]

I think it all started bc they had a Friday rain out and as gyno said the long outing on sunday

 

[Gyno]

Todd Helton:
Patrick Corbin has the best slider I've ever seen, it reminds me of Randy Johnsons.

 

[scdoggy]

Winds at Kauffman look much calmer than what I saw predicted earlier this morning.... Still lean KC here but I'm off the over

 

[scdoggy]

No Soriano for the Cubs

 

[scdoggy]

Crazy useless stat of the day. Orioles have gone 13-6-1 in series this year and haven't swept a team yet.... today pending...

 

[SportsNut]

going w over @ KC 6u , RHE over 4 u and over Tigers TT 4u....I didnt like Cubs last night but I like this spot to fade Leake...higher day ERA (doubled)....incredibly fortunate vs soft teams away lately Pitt---10 hit shutout .....Mets and Marlins--------o runs allowed despite allwing mre hits then inn in two........


over cubs TT 4u ......Cubs 6u ....over 2u....parlayed 1 u

 

[SportsNut]

I'm steering clear of the ATL/SD game. Edision is on normal rest but struggling of late and Braves cant hit @ Petco last few seasons....but they are looking to avoid a sweep and have a nice edge pen wise today.

 

[Play2win]

Tor/Cws game is ppd due to weather

 

[Gyno]

I have a big play tonight in the dodgers game.. I will fully explain why..



I fully expect a pitchers duel in tonights D'Backs/dodgers game.

Corbin has been rock solid this season, although I expect some regression from him cause no one can keep up what he's doing, I don't think it will come tonight. Dodgers lineup will again be brutal. No Kemp, Hanley, AJ Ellis, Crawford. The lineup will have very little pop and Fed and Cruz who are both .214 and .140 hitters will bottom out the lineup. I really don't see how the Dodgers will score many runs tonight. 4 hitters in dodgers lineup are hitless vs Corbin this season and other hitters havent faced him this season.

Todd Helton from the Rockies said that Corbin has the best slider he has ever seen.

Corbin this season:
9-0 1.98 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, .213 OPP BA.. 3.25 Xera
Last 6 games: 1.02 WHIP .273 OPP OBP

Dodgers Ryu has been lights out lately. His control has been amazing. 13 SO's and only 1 BB. Ryu hasn't given up more than 2 runs in 5 straight games and has been amazing @
Dodger Stadium. 1.97 ERA @ home

Ryu vs AZ this season
a very low .639 OPS

Ryu this season:
6-2 2.72 ERA 1.11 WHIP .222 OPP BA 3.07 Xera
Last 6 games: 0.97 WHIP . 254 OPP OBP


Plus AZ offensive stats drop off considerably when going against LHP..
.270 ba , .739 OPS vs RHP
.249 ba .693 OPS vs LHP



Okay here is how I wagered on this game..

Under 6.5 for game
Under 3.5 first five innings
Arizona TT under 3
Dodgers TT under 3
Total H+R+E under 23.5
No runs scored in first inning.


Good luck..

 

[scdoggy]

Bad news for O's backers. Hammel walks the first two in the seventh and Pedro (I wanna be a gansta not a reliever) Strop is taking the hill.

 

[scdoggy]

Thanks Showalter. Strop gives up a single, and an inside the park grand slam. Bye bye under, bye bye Orioles.

 

[Gaius.T]

Yesss! 8-4 Angels

 

[Gaius.T]

It's still painful to watch those guys!

 

[scdoggy]

Fucking just brutal. Baltimore coasting to a nice W and the under looks good. They need to cut Strop.

Bravos 8-2 in last 10 with O'Nora BHP, but Pads also 7-3 in L10

Lets remember this:

O's and Angels are #1 + #2 in runs scored in day games!

[nbafan88]

blue jays/white sox postponed

 

[DaRaiders]

Fucking just brutal. Baltimore coasting to a nice W and the under looks good. They need to cut Strop.

And Valverde can suck my d**k until my head caves in.

 

[tuck321]

Not sure if this was covered but Zito has been lights out on 6 or more days rest at least this year and last and with Marvin Hudson lifetime he is 3-0 with a 1.74 ERA. I hate it but small bet on Zito plus 84 cents

[Gyno]

juice has gone up considerably on my very large wager tonight.. from when I posted this on the game under..

-110 to -125 @ 5dimes.

Its -128 @ Pinny.. Many books have moved it to 6..


Win or lose we have a good position on this game.. You never know how a game is going to turn out but if you can get really good odds on a consistent basis you are one step ahead.

GL on this one tonight Gyno, thanks for sharing your thoughts and plays.

EZ to avoid Pitt, a little harder to pull the trigger on SF

 

[SportsNut]

Nothing concrete on this 7 pm games...1st inn yes @ pitt 2u and pitt tt over 4u. Mets ml mad +1.5 each 4u

 

[SportsNut]

My damn laptop crashed so trying to get that sorted out....besides the dodgers all I had was interest in cleveland. Never had a chance to look at brewers hate to see them up early ..be back in a few

That sucks!

 

[DaRaiders]

Played Minn 2un

 

[SportsNut]

Yeah such a pain its finally good to go...

Twinkies ml 7u and -1.5 1u...pelfrey usually does better on extra rest and is here and appears he had his best outing in every way last time at kc...

Indians ml 3u and over 5u...still feel like tribe is way underpriced making texas bait imho

 

[Gyno]

Brewers were a solid play sn... I'm going to be fading marlins nx 10 games..

They have a tough stretch..

 

[Gyno]

I've been wondering all day why twins are favored..

Pelfrey has terrible stats ;
6 era
1.7whip
Opp ba. 328

Doesn't get worse than that for a starter..

 

[Gyno]

Rotoworld saying puig maybe out tonight...

Sore shoulder...

If that's the case the dodgers lineup will be really fukkin bad..

 

[SportsNut]

Pelfrey is pretty bad but I think Cloyd a crafty rh is not a good matchio for twins bats. Philly struggling couldn't even win w hamels vs walters..Pelfrey can go 6 or 6+ here and allow 3 or less imo..

I thoughts twins should be around -115 stilla. 500 home team w nearly same record

 

[SportsNut]

I made a mental note after his kc start that I would look at him next time out

 

[SportsNut]

As a met Pelfrey was pretty awful on normal rest, good w 1 extra day rest except think 1 season he flipped it ...
