Minnesota Twins at Chicago White Sox (2:05 PM ET)
Minnesota starter Scott Baker has been blasted for 12 earned runs and 23 hits in 14 2/3 innings against Chicago in his career. The Twins picked up a 7-6 victory over Chicago on May 30, even though Baker surrendered six runs and 10 hits over just three innings.
Baker is an even 2-2 on the road this season, but his 3.33 ERA is much better than his 7.20 ERA at the Metrodome.
White Sox right-hander Jon Garland is predominately one of the better daytime starters in baseball and he’s 3-1 with a 3.31 ERA in eight starts this season.
Garland was reached for six runs and five hits in six innings of work against the Twins earlier this season. He’s 7-6 with a 4.17 ERA in 24 career outings against Minnesota.
The OVER is 4-1-1 in the last six meetings.
Boston Red Sox at Detroit Tigers (7:05 PM ET)
Boston right-hander Julian Tavarez is 2-3 with a 3.72 ERA in 10 career outings against Detroit. He picked up a 2-1 victory over the Tigers on May 17, allowing just one run and four this over seven innings.
Tavarez enjoyed a successful June and has carried it over into July. He was 2-1 with a 3.30 ERA in five starts last month and allowed just one earned run in 5 2/3 innings against Texas in his last start.
Detroit’s Andrew Miller looks to bounce back from his worst start of the season, as the Minnesota Twins knocked him around for five earned runs and six hits over five innings.
Miller has dominated under the lights in 2007, posting a 2-1 record and sparkling 1.50 ERA in three starts.
The UNDER is 5-0-1 in the last six meetings.
Los Angeles Angels at New York Yankees (7:05 PM ET)
Los Angeles starter Bartolo Colon has a losing 4-5 record and 5.32 ERA in 12 career outings against New York. He was touched up for seven earned runs and seven hits in two innings against them last season.
Colon is just 3-4 with a 7.29 ERA in eight nighttime starts this season, which is a far cry from his perfect 3-0 record and 3.66 ERA in five day outings.
Yankees left-hander Andy Pettitte is a rock solid 11-6 with a 3.79 ERA in 20 career starts against the Angels.
Pettitte is coming off his worst start of the season, lasting just 1 2/3 innings and allowing a season-high eight runs and nine hits. New York has lost three straight games with him on the hill.
The Angels are 5-1 in the last six meetings.
Cleveland Indians at Toronto Blue Jays (7:07 PM ET)
Indians starter Cliff Lee is a dismal 0-2 with a 6.05 ERA in four career starts against the Blue Jays. He’s given up five home runs in just 19 1/3 innings against them.
Lee has improved in form over the course of the season, as the left-hander has improved on his earned-run-average each month. He allowed just one run and four his while striking out a season-high nine batters.
Toronto’s Roy Halladay is a perfect 4-0 with a 3.33 ERA in nine career outings against Cleveland. He’s allowed just one home run over 54 innings against them.
Halladay posted a 4-1 record last month despite having an inflated 4.81 ERA. His strikeout numbers have fallen off over his last six starts, fanning just 20 in 38 2/3 innings.
The Indians are 16-5 in the last 21 meetings.
New York Mets at Houston Astros (8:05 PM ET)
New York’s Mike Pelfrey has pitched relatively well over his last four starts, allowing four earned runs or less in four consecutive starts. He pitched five solid innings against the best offense in baseball, holding the Philadelphia Phillies to two earned runs and four hits.
The Mets have lost six straight games with Pelfrey on the hill, as opponents have outscored them 36-17 over that span.
Astros left-hander Wandy Rodriguez is a perfect 1-0 with a 3.60 ERA in two career starts against the Mets. He’s yet to allow a long ball in 10 career innings against them.
Rodriguez has been dynamite in eight starts this season at Minute Maid Park, posting a 4-2 record and 2.13 ERA. He tossed seven shutout innings in his last start, a 12-0 victory over the Colorado Rockies.
The OVER is 10-1 in Rodriguez’s last 11 starts following a quality start in his last appearance.
Atlanta Braves at San Diego Padres (10:05 PM ET)
Atlanta starter Buddy Carlyle has appeared in three games away from Turner Field, allowing just two earned runs and eight hits in 10 innings of work.
Carlyle has rebounded nicely after suffering through his roughest start of the season on June 20, surrendering just one earned run over his 10 innings. He’s fanned eight batters and walked just one over that span.
San Diego’s Justin Germano has posted a 2-1 record and 3.75 ERA in four home starts this season. He hasn’t picked up a victory at Petco Park since May 26 against Milwaukee.
The Padres have lost three straight games with Germano on the hill, being outscored 14-4 in the process.
The Braves are 7-1 in the last eight meetings.
Seattle Mariners at Oakland Athletics (10:05 PM ET)
Mariners right-hander Jeff Weaver is a dismal 0-4 with a 9.12 ERA in six road starts this season. He’s allowed an astronomical 45 hits in 25 2/3 innings away from Safeco Field.
Weaver has been simply outstanding in his last three starts, allowing just two earned runs in 22 2/3 innings. The Mariners have won all three of those starts, outscoring opponents 18-5 in the process.
Oakland starter Dan Haren is a perfect 6-0 with a 2.11 ERA in nine home starts this season. The right-hander has given up just 42 hits in 64 innings of work at home.
Haren was knocked around on the road over the Athletics last road trip, allowing eight earned runs and 16 hits in 12 innings.
The Athletics are 4-0 in Haren’s last four home starts versus the Mariners.
Florida Marlins at Los Angeles Dodgers (10:40 PM ET)
Florida starter Dontrelle Willis is a disappointing 1-5 with a 7.11 ERA in six career starts against Los Angeles. He allowed four runs and six hits over seven innings of work against the Dodgers earlier this season.
Willis has tallied an impressive 5-2 record on the road this season. The left-hander is 34-19 with a 3.48 ERA in 69 career starts outside of Dolphin Stadium.
Los Angeles right-hander Chad Billingsley was absolutely brilliant in his last start, tossing seven shutout innings and fanning a season-high nine batters in a 5-0 victory over San Diego.
Billingsley is a perfect 2-0 with a miniscule 0.64 ERA in three career outings against Florida. He’s allowed just one run and six hits in 14 innings against them.
The Dodgers are 12-3 in their last 15 games versus a left-handed starter.
Milwaukee Brewers at Pittsburgh Pirates (12:35 PM ET)
Milwaukee starter Ben Sheets is 6-7 with a 2.90 ERA in 19 career starts against Pittsburgh. The right-hander allowed two runs and six hits in 6 1/3 innings of work against them last time out.
Sheets has picked up a victory in six straight decisions, allowing just 10 earned runs over that span.
Pittsburgh’s Tom Gorzelanny has tallied one victory in two career starts against Milwaukee, giving up three earned runs and 13 hits in 14 2/3 innings of work.
Gorzelanny has pitched relatively well during five daytime starts, posting a 2-1 record and 3.34 ERA.
