Sunday Night Baseball: Tigers at Rangers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Detroit Tigers and Texas Rangers take the spotlight this week on Sunday Night Baseball.

Detroit Tigers at Texas Rangers (-115, 9)

FISTING FOR VICTORIES

Doug Fister has been stellar for the Tigers, going 5-1 with a 3.06 ERA on the year. He'll face a Texas team that hit him up for nine runs over 4 1/3 innings in their only meeting last year. The righty has made four road starts this season and he's 1-1 in those games. He got shelled in Washington in the shortest start of his career giving up five runs and eight hits in three innings. Fister has benefited from seeing Houston in two of his last three starts, snagging a victory at home and a no-decision on the road.

HOLLAND TUNNEL IN TEXAS

Derek Holland is 3-2 with a 2.93 ERA this season. He has pitched well in May going 2-0 with a 2.18 ERA. The southpaw hasn't had many problems pitching at home this year, going 1-1 with a 1.57 ERA in three starts there. Holland has shown incredible control walking just three batters in his last four starts. Last year he picked up a no-decision against the Tigers after giving up one run and three hits while striking out nine in a 2-1 Rangers victory.

INJURY REPORT

The Tigers are almost completely healthy as a team. They are without Austin Jackson, who is on the disabled list with a strained right hamstring and Octavio Dotel, who is dealing with right elbow inflammation. The list is a bit longer for the Rangers. Their lineup is relatively intact as AJ Pierzynski is dealing with a strained right oblique muscle. He will return hopefully on Tuesday for their game against the Athletics. The Texas pitching staff is a different story. Matt Harrison, Alexi Ogando, Colby Lewis and Neftali Feliz are all out of the rotation while Joakim Soria has not pitched yet out of the team's bullpen. Those pitchers are expected to be back at varying times between May and August.

TRENDS

Tigers are 50-22 in their last 72 Sunday games
Tigers are 6-2 in Fister's last eight starts
Rangers are 37-18 in their last 55 Sunday games
Rangers are 35-16 in Holland’s last 51 home starts

HITTERS TO WATCH

Torii Hunter 10-for-34 vs. Holland
Miguel Cabrera 0-for-5 vs. Holland
Elvis Andrus 4-for-22 vs. Fister
Nelson Cruz 7-for-16 vs. Fister

MLB Top 6: Best and worst interleague bets


The new interleague structure in the major leagues, a season-long format as opposed to sporadic pockets throughout the season, has seen all but six big league clubs face a team from the opposite league.

Only the Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, Oakland A's, Houston Astros, St, Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants have yet to partake in interleague games, though the Giants and Jays open a series Tuesday. Still, we have a large enough sample size to delve into the numbers and see which teams have gotten off to a strong start and which clubs have struggled in the early stages of interleague matchups.

Best interleague bets

Washington Nationals (5-0 IL)

The Nationals have taken a three-game series versus the Chicago White Sox and a mini two-game series over the Detroit Tigers this season to have a clean 5-0 record in interleague play. The Nationals seem to do their best scoring against American League teams. In the five interleague games, they have outscored opponents 28-18. The Nats are 13th in the National League with 137 runs on the year. That total gives them an average of 3.6 per game. In interleague play, they average a vastly improved 5.6 runs per game.

Washington's next interleague matchup will be a four-game series against the Baltimore Orioles May 27.

Tampa Bay Rays (5-1 IL)

A three-game sweep of the San Diego Padres has the Rays riding a wave of momentum and has improved their interleague record to 5-1. They took two of three from the Colorado Rockies earlier in the month to get the ball rolling in their interleague schedule. Tampa Bay is crushing the ball, having played over the total in 14 of its last 15 games overall. Five of those have been versus NL opponents. The Rays have battered NL pitching, outscoring teams from the senior circuit by a score of 36-28 in their six matchups.

The Rays will face the Miami Marlins in a battle for Florida bragging rights on May 27.

New York Mets (3-1 IL)

The Mets have gotten off to a great start posting three wins in four games in interleague matchups. It helps to have one of the best pitchers in the game pitching in two of those victories. Matt Harvey started and won both of his interleague starts. He tossed a 1-0 shutout versus the White Sox on May 7 and went eight innings in a 4-2 victory against the Minnesota Twins on April 13. It's just unfortunate the Mets can't play the AL all the time. They have gone just 11-20 versus the National League.

The Mets will play a four-game subway series versus the Yankees on May 27.

Worst

Philadelphia Philles (1-4 IL)

In 2012, Philly posted a porous record of 5-10 against AL foes. This season, it's just as bad. The Phillies have surrendered a total of 45 runs in their five games and have managed to score just 18 themselves. The Phils have had trouble across the board this season, but their games versus the AL have amplified their shortcomings.

The Philles will get another crack at the AL with a mini two-game set versus the Cleveland Indians Tuesday. They have lost both their games versus the Tribe this season by a combined score of 20-2.

Chicago White Sox (1-4 IL)

On the year, the White Sox have posted some great pitching numbers, coupled with some poor hitting statistics. In interleague play, the ChiSox are an improved offensive club with pitching woes, save for a 1-0 loss against Harvey and the Mets on May 7. Chicago ranks 28th in the majors with a .229 batting average, but that number is improved to .260 against NL clubs. Its reliable 3.51 ERA balloons up to 4.68 against the NL.

The Pale Hose will get another crack against the NL as they host the Marlins on May 24.

Atlanta Braves (1-4 IL)

The NL East-leading Braves just can't get it done versus the AL. In 2012, they posted a subpar 8-10 record in interleague games. The Braves have the best inter-division record in MLB, having gone 11-4 against NL East rivals, but have posted an alarming 1-4 record in interleague matchups. This could be crucial considering the Nationals have had success versus the AL. The Braves were swept by Detroit in late April and were outscored 25-7 in the three games.

The Braves will try to right the ship in their next interleague matchup as they face the Minnesota Twins on May 20.

week

May 20, 2013 10:28 am ET


One of my favorite things about baseball is that you can't predict it. You can try -- and we've tried -- but you'll be wrong. My "David Price repeating as AL Cy Young" pick isn't looking so hot right now. Sure, there might be a lot of unexpected stuff in baseball, but is any of it truly surprising? Not really.

Because we enjoy looking foolish and occasionally looking smart, we're going to attempt to predict baseball in our newest feature at EOB: Eye on Baseball Weekly Predictions. Every Monday we'll put together some predictions for the upcoming week and then keep a running tally throughout the season. Batting .300 is a success in baseball, but I'll be happy if we crack the Mendoza Line.

To kick things off, here is my first prediction: Dodgers manager Don Mattingly will not be fired this week.

That sounds a little crazy after Los Angeles got swept by the Braves this weekend to fall to 17-25 on the season, good for last place in the NL West and seven games behind the first-place Diamondbacks. The Dodgers faithful are restless after sky-high expectations coming into the season, and the manager is usually the first scapegoat.

Donnie Baseball will avoid the axe for at least another week because the scheduled works in his favor. His team will open a three-game series against the Brewers on Monday, the same Brewers team that has won just two of their last 11 and three of their last 17 games. Furthermore, Mattingly will run his top three starters -- Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke and Hyun-Jin Ryu -- out there against Milwaukee.

The Dodgers have some very serious problems -- specifically a well-stocked DL list and a complete inability to hit with runners in scoring position (66 OPS+ with RISP) -- and Mattingly is very much on the hot seat. Getting two Kershaw starts and maybe two Greinke starts (assuming they use Thursday's off-day to skip rookie Matt Magill) in a six-game span is a great way to keep a job for another week.

It seems very unlikely that Mattingly will make it through the entire season at the helm though, but my prediction here is that he survives another seven days. Here are four more sure to be wrong predictions for the next week:

1. The Diamondbacks will open at least a three-game lead in the NL West. Arizona is one game up on the Rockies and Giants at the moment, and this week they'll play three against both Colorado and the Padres. San Francisco plays three against the Nationals before meeting the Rockies. The D'Backs take care of business against San Diego while their two primary competitors beat up on each other.

2. Max Scherzer will have a 12+ strikeout game. Specifically, he'll do it against the Indians on Tuesday. Scherzer has whiffed 32.5 percent of the batters he's faced this year, the second highest rate in baseball behind Yu Darvish (36.3 percent). The Tribe have struck out in 21.3 percent of their plate appearances this year, the fourth highest rate in the AL. Scherzer has four 12+ strikeout games in his career, including one earlier this year. He'll add a fifth this week.

3. The Angels will climb out of fourth place. The Halos are currently three games behind the Mariners for third place in the AL West, and this week they'll play two games against Seattle and four against the free-falling Royals. The Mariners wrap-up a series with the Indians today and will meet the Rangers for three games later this week. If the Angels can't get into third place this week, they might never do it.

4. Chris Davis will hit at least three home runs. It's all about the matchups for the AL co-leader in homers with 12. The Orioles will face just one starting pitcher with a sub-1.0 HR/9 this week, and that's Hiroki Kuroda at 0.5 HR/9. The others: CC Sabathia (career-high 1.2 HR/9). Phil Hughes (career-high 1.7 HR/9), Brandon Morrow (career-high 1.6 HR/9), R.A. Dickey (1.5 HR/9), Chad Jenkins (1.8 HR/9 in only one start) and Ramon Ortiz (1.0 HR/9 between the majors and minors). Davis is going to make it rain.

Hot & Not - AL Edition

May 21, 2013


The MLB betting season is officially a quarter of the way through, and today at VegasInsider.com, we're going to be taking a look at the best and the worst of the American League of late to show which teams are streaking and which are sliding.

Money-Makers

Cleveland Indians (8-2, +$766 in L/10) – The Tribe are 2 ½-games up in the AL Central right now, and it all started when they went on the road and beat Justin Verlander and the Tigers as +230 underdogs (Bet $100 to win $230). Since then, the team has gotten its scoring average up to 5.07 runs per game, and the team has launched the most dingers in baseball (60).

On Deck: Those pesky Tigers are coming to Progressive Field for two games in the middle of the week before it's off to Fenway Park for a date with the Red Sox. It won't be an easy week by any stretch of the imagination for Cleveland.

Texas Rangers (9-3, +$569 in L/12) – The Rangers just took three out of four from Detroit in a huge series that helped open up the lead in the AL West to 5 ½ games. The team already has 16 wins against AL West foes this season, which is more than any other team has against a divisional mate thus far on the season.

On Deck: There's a good chance that the Rangers will keep the best record in the bigs against divisional rivals as well this week. The A's are coming to town before the road trip to Seattle to take on the Mariners.

Boston Red Sox (5-1, +$393 in L/6) – It was a frustrating week two weeks ago for Red Sox fans, but since that point, the team has gotten back on the bus. This winning streak hasn't made up for all of the profits that were burned through during the losing streak, especially the part that came against the Twins, but it's a good start for a team that already has 27 wins under its belt.

On Deck: Two more games are on tap against the White Sox to wrap up this nine-game road trip. One would think that coming back home to take on the Indians would be an easier task, but we have to remember that this Boston team is just 13-10 at Fenway (-$296).

Money-Burners

Baltimore Orioles (0-6, -$711 in L/6) – Losing series like the one to the Rays over the weekend in such crushing form is bad news for a team like Baltimore. The Orioles know that they have a great bullpen, but you wouldn't know it based upon the Jim Johnson implosions of the last few days.

On Deck: The Yankees are playing against Baltimore for the last two games of what has been a disastrous home stand, and perhaps the best thing that could happen for the team is that it is getting away from home to take on the Jays at Rogers Centre this weekend.

Minnesota Twins (0-6, -$633 in L/6) – The Twins haven't been anything to write home about either, as they have six straight losses and are back in the gutter of the AL Central. This is a franchise that hopes that the future is very soon, because the current edition of this team is seemingly only waiting until the kids in the minors are ready to come up to the big league level.

On Deck: It's tough to see this losing skid really ending with any gusto for the Twins. Not only do they have road trips against the Braves and the Tigers up this week, but after Memorial Day, there are four games with Milwaukee, three with Seattle, and then it's back on the road for nine more.

Detroit Tigers (1-4, -$562 in L/5) – The game that really did the Tigers in was when they were beaten as -350 favorites at home against the Astros. It's going to happen at times this season, but you hope that's the type of thing that just doesn't happen to your team, especially when you're in the thick of a pennant race in the AL Central.

On Deck: Matters will get much easier once the Tigers are done dealing with the Tribe this week. Memorial Day weekend will see the lowly Twins coming to town in what should be a "get better" series for Motown.

Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

-- Longest current hitting streak in big leagues? Marco Scutaro, at 18.

-- Dodgers are 14-8 if Kershaw/Greinke/Ryu start, 4-17 otherwise.

-- Oakland's Jed Lowrie has eight games with 3+ hits, most in the AL.

-- Red Wings beat Chicago in Game 3, now lead favored Blackhawks 2-1.

-- Patrick Corbin is 7-0, 1.44 for the Diamondbacks; who knew?

-- Our thoughts and prayers to people in Oklahoma; twisters are a scary thing. Just very sad.


*****

Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but..........

13) Miguel Cabrera is a tremendous hitter; he’s on pace to knock in 181 runs (the all-time record is Hack Wilson’s 190, baseball’s most underrated milestone). He’s not exactly Brooks Robinson at 3B, but boy can he swing the bat.

12) Before Clayton Kershaw's complete game win Monday night, Dodger starting pitchers had been 0-3, 3.68 in their previous 13 road games; you’d think with that good an RA, they’d win a game or two, but the LA bullpen is 5-13 so far this year. $230 million doesn’t buy as much as it used to.

11) While we’re on this subject, if I own the Dodgers and I’m shelling out $230M for a ballclub, I want a top-flight manager, not Don Mattingly, who may or may not turn out to be good, but he is in no way experienced enough to be a top-flight skipper. His body of work so far says very average, not more, not less.

10) If I’m the Orioles and I have a big home series with the Bronx Bombers starting last night, an eyebrow gets raised when Toronto-Bronx game got rained out fairly early Sunday afternoon, which freed up CC Sabathia to pitch the opener of the Baltimore series.

Ballclubs have say-so on whether a game is started or not; once it starts, then its in the umpires’ hands. Big benefit to a banged-up Bronx team to delay games until later in the season, when more of their highly paid (currently injured) stars will be back in the lineup.

9) If you bet college football with 5Dimes, Alabama is -23.5 over Virginia Tech in the season opener; if you play with BetOnline, the Crimson Tide is -16. Pretty sizeable 7.5-point middle right there.

8) Indiana Pacers are first NBA team since ’94 Utah Jazz to make it to the conference finals with no players who were top 5 picks in NBA Draft.

7) All four teams still alive in the NBA playoffs finished in the top five in team defense. The Knicks were #17. Draw your own conclusions.

6) None of NBA’s Final Four was in the NBA before 1976; Spurs/Pacers are old ABA teams, Heat and Grizzlies were expansion teams. Spurs were originally known as the Dallas Chapparals.

5) Why do the Spurs-Grizzlies play two games before Heat-Pacers play one? TV dictates all this, so TV people must think Miami will make short work of the Pacers.

4) Giants' P Ryan Vogelsong broke finger on pitching hand Monday night and is out 6+ weeks; this was his first good start this season, too.

3) Guard Malik Smith, who scored 14.1 ppg under Richard Pitino at FIU LY, is following his coach to Minnesota and can play this coming season, since FIU is banned from the postseason because of poor academic performance under former coach Isiah Thomas. Bet the folks at ol’ FIU just love that one.

2) Sounds like the NFL Draft might get pushed back into mid-May starting next year. I have absolutely no opinion on this; whenever it is, I’ll watch it.

1) Under Florida law, if the person who won the $590M Powerball jackpot wanted to remain anonymous, he/she could not, since if someone asks, the law says the winner’s name must be disclosed, undoubtedly to lessen the chances of chicanery.

I’m developing a list of things I would do if I hit the lottery; when its finished, you’ll be the first to know.

See spot. See spot bet: This week's best spot bet opportunities

Spot bets are a classic handicapping practice that have proven profitable no matter what sport you’re betting. Whether it’s a team looking past this week’s opponent, one coming off a hard-fought victory, or a rough patch of schedule, bettors can find value picking their spots.

Lookahead spot

One of the big questions heading into the NCAAF season is if Notre Dame can maintain its spot among the nation’s elite – a question that will likely be answered in Week 2 when the Irish visit Michigan for a night game at the Big House. This rivalry recently had some fuel thrown on the fire when Wolverines head coach Brady Hoke claimed Notre Dame was “chickening out” of the series with UM after cancelling the 2015-17 games.

Before the Irish try to make Hoke eat his words, Notre Dame will stretch its legs as a 28-point favorite hosting Temple in Week 1 of the season. Not only will the Fighting Irish be slugging through a hangover from their BCS beating last January, but the Golden Domers will be tweaking the playbook and experimenting against the Owls before the Week 2’s showdown in Ann Arbor. Twenty-eight points seems too much for a team playing by trial and error.

Letdown spot

Being as good as the Miami Heat are is a double-edged sword. Sure, the Heat have rolled through postseason competition, sweeping the Bucks and beating the Bulls in five games. But all that down time can leave the team rusty, like it did in a Game 1 upset to Chicago in the second round.

Miami has had its feet up since eliminating the Bulls on May 15 and won’t take the court for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Indiana Pacers until Wednesday – seven full days between outings. Indiana, on the other hand, will still be playoff sharp having knocked off the Knicks Saturday. Books are giving the Pacers 7.5-points in South Beach in Game 1.

Schedule spot

The St. Louis Cardinals have succeeded in just about every category and situation this season, jumping to the top of the National League Central. They’re a stellar 14-8 at home and 14-7 on the road and rank among the Top 10 in many batting and pitching statistics. The only spot the Cardinals haven’t truly excelled in is versus NL West opponents. St. Louis is 23-11 versus the East and Central but only 5-4 versus the NL West.

The Cards are currently in San Diego for a trio of games with the Padres, who split a four-game series with the Nationals and took two in a row in an interleague set with the Orioles. St. Louis then heads to Los Angeles to play the Dodgers, who own a 5-1 mark versus NL Central foes this season. Last season, the Cardinals were swept 0-3 in both trips to San Diego and Los Angeles.

Preview: Twins (18-24) at Braves (27-18)

Game: 3
Venue: Turner Field
Date: May 22, 2013 12:10 PM EDT


A favorable schedule has helped the Atlanta Braves put together another strong stretch, and it may not end any time soon.

Evan Gattis is making his own contributions.

The Braves may opt to put Gattis in the lineup as they try to sweep their second consecutive series against a last-place opponent Wednesday, when they face the spiraling Minnesota Twins.

Atlanta (27-18) is atop the NL East, and the team's schedule is giving it a chance to stay there.

The Braves are in the midst of a 13-game stretch against teams with losing records, and three of those four opponents occupy the basement in their respective divisions.

Coming off a three-game sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Atlanta continued its momentum by beating Minnesota 5-1 on Monday, and Freddie Freeman's two-out, RBI single in the 10th proved to be the difference in Tuesday's 5-4 win.

After this series, the Braves are scheduled to face the New York Mets for three games before facing Toronto for four.

Getting Gattis to the plate more often may also keep Atlanta rolling.

The 26-year-old rookie is hitting .254 with nine homers and 23 RBIs in 36 games, spending time at catcher, first base and left field.

He's 4 for 6 with three homers, a double and six RBIs as a pinch-hitter. Two of those homers have come in the past four days, including a solo shot in the ninth Tuesday.

"It's awesome to see," starter Tim Hudson said. "People around the league are scratching their heads, trying to figure out how to make sure he doesn't put the ball in the seats."

The Braves tend to do that with regularity - they rank among the league leaders with 58 homers - and Paul Maholm (5-4, 3.83 ERA) is again hoping to be a beneficiary.

The left-hander has won all of his starts when he's been backed by at least two runs, compiling a 1.13 ERA. He owns a 7.77 ERA while dropping the other four games, during which he's received one or no supporting runs.

Maholm got plenty of help in Friday's 8-5 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. He allowed four runs - two earned - in six innings, but left with the lead after Justin Upton hit a grand slam in the bottom of the frame.

He's 0-1 while surrendering 11 runs in 12 innings over two starts versus the Twins, whom he has not faced since 2009 with Pittsburgh.

The Twins have lost seven games in a row for the first time since an 11-game slide from Sept. 9-21, 2011.

The staff has been a major problem during the current skid, compiling a 5.94 ERA - 7.11 from the rotation.

Giving the ball to Vance Worley (1-4, 6.20) may not solve those issues since he's 0-1 with a 5.82 ERA in four starts on the road.

The right-hander's last two outings were at home, and his latest was perhaps his best performance of the season. His only blemish in six innings was an unearned run in the first, and he did not get a decision in Friday's 3-2 loss to Boston.

Worley has no record while throwing seven shutout innings over three appearances in Atlanta. He tossed five scoreless frames in a 7-0 win in his only start there with Philadelphia on Oct. 2, 2010.

Worley, though, has struggled versus Freeman and Dan Uggla.

Freeman is 3 for 7 with a pair of doubles off him, while Uggla is 4 for 9 with two homers.

Freeman enters this meeting 8 for 22 (.364) with three doubles and seven RBIs over his last six games.

Preview: Dodgers (18-26) at Brewers (18-26)

Game: 3
Venue: Miller Park
Date: May 22, 2013 1:10 PM EDT


More than three weeks have passed since the Milwaukee Brewers posted back-to-back victories.

They'll ask rookie Wily Peralta to put an end to that stretch Wednesday in the series finale against the last-place Los Angeles Dodgers.

Milwaukee (18-26) earned a rare win Tuesday, 5-2 over the Dodgers to give them four victories in 19 games. The Brewers, who had lost seven of eight at home, last won two straight April 29 and 30.

Peralta's brief history suggests there's a good chance that drought could continue Tuesday. He's surrendered 11 runs in 11 innings over his last two starts - both road losses - and getting back into the win column could be a challenge given his struggles in Milwaukee.

Peralta (3-4, 5.94 ERA) has gone 2-2 with a 6.49 ERA in five starts there, though he threw six innings of three-run ball in his last outing at Miller Park, a 6-3 win over Texas on May 7.

The right-hander will get his second look at the Dodgers after earning a 6-4 victory at Los Angeles on April 27. He went six innings and surrendered three runs.

If Peralta runs into any problems against a Dodgers team hitting .184 with eight runs in its last four games, manager Ron Roenicke should feel very confident about turning to his bullpen. The relievers have not allowed a run in the last five games, though they had to log 5 2-3 innings Tuesday due to a rough outing from rookie Hiram Burgos.

"We definitely did a great job coming out of the 'pen," said right-hander Mike Fiers, who went 1 2-3 innings for the win.

That was also the case for the Dodgers' relievers, who worked four scoreless innings, but Los Angeles lost for the fourth time in five games and seventh time in eight road contests.

The Dodgers (18-26) matched a season high by allowing 14 runners Tuesday. Though Los Angeles produced 10 hits, all of them were singles.

"That's really kind of been the story as far as our offense has been concerned,' manager Don Mattingly said. "We had the right people up in the right spots. We had our chances. We just weren't able to do it.'

Matt Kemp has gone 3 for 21 and Adrian Gonzalez 2 for 18 in the first five games of a trip that ends Wednesday.

The Dodgers will turn to Hyun-Jin Ryu (4-2, 3.42) to get them back on track.

The left-hander is coming off his shortest outing of the season, lasting five innings in an 8-5 loss at Atlanta on Friday. He walked a season-high five and three of the first six he faced, though he yielded only two runs.

Mattingly would like to see Ryu push past the 100-pitch limit, which has been the point where he feels he starts to struggle. Ryu, who threw 100 on Friday, has allowed a .280 average (7 for 25) after reaching 91 pitches in six starts this season. Batters are 3 for 6 against him starting with the 106 mark.

"At 100, he's pretty much out of gas," Mattingly said.

Ryu will be facing the Brewers for the first time.

The Dodgers, 3-2 versus Milwaukee in 2013, can win the season series for the first time since 2010.
