Preview: Athletics at Rays

Current Conditions - St. Petersburg

SUNNY 86 °F
Wind: SW 12
5-Day Forecast
GAME: Oakland Athletics (15-21) at Tampa Bay Rays (15-18)
DATE/TIME: Saturday, May 14 - 6:10 PM EST
WHERE: Tropicana Field, St. Petersburg, Florida
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

The Oakland Athletics look to win back-to-back games for the first time since the last two days of April when they visit the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday night. The Athletics snapped a five-game losing streak with a 6-3 victory in the opener of a three-game set Friday as Danny Valencia belted a pair of homers after returning from a hamstring injury that kept him out of the previous two contests.

Oakland gave up double-digit runs in four straight contests before Friday, but got their own offense in gear as Valencia, Billy Burns and Yonder Alonso all extended their hitting streaks to eight games. The Rays will send right-hander Matt Andriese to the mound Saturday to try and end a four-game losing streak after they won a season-high four in a row. Tampa Bay has been without its leadoff hitter Logan Forsythe (sore shoulder) for most of those four games and the second baseman could return to the lineup Saturday. Steve Pearce has appeared to seize the first base job from Logan Morrison for the Rays, going 10-for-28 with four homers and seven RBIs in the last seven contests.

TV: 6:10 p.m. ET, CSN California (Oakland), FSN Sun (Tampa Bay)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Athletics RH Kendall Graveman (1-4, 5.74 ERA) vs. Rays RH Matt Andriese (1-0, 1.29)

Graveman has struggled in his last three starts after beginning the season with three solid outings in which he allowed four runs combined. The 25-year-old Mississippi State product has surrendered 16 runs and seven homers among 25 hits over his last three games. Graveman made two starts against Tampa Bay last season and went 1-0 while limiting the Rays to six hits over 12 scoreless innings.

Andriese was outstanding in his 2016 debut to earn a spot in the rotation, limiting the Los Angeles Angels to one run on four hits in seven innings. The 26-year-old Californian, who went 3-5 with a 4.11 ERA in 25 appearances (eight starts) last season, struck out three and walked three last Sunday. Andriese gave up two runs on four hits in 2/3 of an inning against the Athletics in one meeting in 2015.

WALK-OFFS

1. Rays OF Brandon Guyer was hit by a pitch Friday for the 12th time this season, which leads the majors.

2. Oakland OF-DH Khris Davis is 6-for-18 with seven RBIs, including a homer Friday, in the last four games.

3. Tampa Bay 3B Evan Longoria has 18 RBIs on the season, including nine in the last 11 contests.

PREDICTION: Rays 6, Athletics 3

Preview: Marlins at Nationals

Current Conditions - Washington

RAIN 55 °F
Wind: E 8
5-Day Forecast
GAME: Miami Marlins (18-16) at Washington Nationals (22-13)
DATE/TIME: Saturday, May 14 - 7:05 PM EST
WHERE: Nationals Park, Washington, District of Columbia
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

With the possible exception of teammate Max Scherzer, who tossed a 20-strikeout gem on Wednesday, no pitcher in baseball enjoyed a better week than Washington Nationals right-hander Stephen Strasburg. The former No. 1 overall draft pick will make his first start since signing a seven-year, $175 million contract extension in Game 1 of Saturday's day-night doubleheader versus the visiting Miami Marlins.

Strasburg is 5-0 on the season, including an overpowering win at Miami on April 19 that boosted his career mark against the Marlins to 11-7 -- his highest victory total against any opponent. Left-hander Tanner Roark will go in the nightcap for the Nationals, who received a tiebreaking two-run blast from Bryce Harper and a pair of pinch-hit homers in Friday's series-opening 5-3 victory. Miami will counter with left-hander Justin Nicolino and righty Kendry Flores, whose only career start came in 2015. All three Washington homers came against the bullpen of the Marlins, who lost for only the fifth time in 18 games and dropped to 10-6 on the road.

TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, FSN Florida (Miami), MASN2 (Washington)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Marlins RH Kendry Flores (2015: 1-2, 4.97 ERA) vs. Nationals LH Tanner Roark (2-2, 2.03)

Flores will be recalled from Triple-A New Orleans to make his season debut and second career start. The 24-year-old Dominican made seven appearances in 2015, the last of which was his lone start, when he was tagged for five runs over five innings by Philadelphia. Flores has yielded a total of nine earned runs in his six starts with New Orleans, including one on four occasions, and pitched six innings of two-run ball on May 7 in his last outing.

Roark has been a feast-or-famine pitcher for Washington, giving up at least four runs on three occasions while not allowing an earned run in his other four starts. The 29-year-old Illinois native settled for his third consecutive no-decision last time out despite holding the Chicago Cubs to one unearned run on four hits over six innings. He was pounded for five runs on at Miami last month to fall to 2-6 with a 3.88 ERA in 14 appearances versus the Marlins.

WALK-OFFS

1. Nationals OF Chris Heisey's third pinch-hit homer gave the Nationals six for the season -- one more than the team had in 2015.

2. Marlins CF Marcell Ozuna has hit safely in 12 consecutive games.

3. Nationals RHP Jonathan Papelbon earned his 359th career save Friday to move into 10th place on the all-time list.

DATE/TIME: Saturday, May 14 - 7:05 PM EST
WHERE: Oriole Park at Camden Yards, Baltimore, Maryland
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

After belting home runs at a dizzying pace, the Baltimore Orioles have made the most of Adam Jones' heroics to emerge victorious in the first two contests of their four-game series versus the Detroit Tigers. The host Orioles look to extend their winning streak to a season high-tying seven games on Saturday when they continue their set against the tumbling Tigers.

Jones provided the fireworks on Friday as his 200th career homer was all that Baltimore needed in its 1-0 triumph. The 30-year-old has gone deep three times in his last four contests and is 11-for-27 with eight RBIs and seven runs scored during his six-game hitting streak. While the Orioles' hot streak has them atop the American League East, Detroit was shut out for the fourth time this season to suffer its 10th loss in the last 11 games. Veteran Victor Martinez, however, has been making his presence felt at the plate with 11 singles in 17 at-bats over the last four games.

TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, MLB Network, FSN Detroit, MASN (Baltimore)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Tigers RH Anibal Sanchez (3-3, 5.89 ERA) vs. Orioles RH Mike Wright (1-3, 5.83)

Sanchez yielded four runs for the second straight outing and at least that many for the fourth time in five starts on Monday in a no-decision versus Washington. The 31-year-old Venezuelan continues to struggle with his control as he walked three batters versus the Nationals and 13 in his last three contests. Baltimore's Manny Machado has posted nine multi-hit performances in his last 14 games and is 3-for-6 in his career versus Sanchez.

Wright was blitzed for five runs on 10 hits in five-plus innings to suffer the loss in an 8-4 setback to Oakland last Saturday. The 26-year-old has surrendered 15 runs on 30 hits in 24 1/3 innings since picking up his lone victory in a 9-5 slugfest over Boston on April 12. Wright will be making his first start versus Detroit after pitching one scoreless inning of relief against the club.

WALK-OFFS

1. Baltimore 1B Chris Davis is riding high by going 10-for-16 with five extra-base hits and six RBIs in his last four contests.

2. Detroit LF Justin Upton has struck out in all but two games in which he's appeared this season - including 15 times in his last seven contests.

3. The Orioles opened the season by winning their first seven games before dropping a 4-2 decision to Boston on April 13.

Preview: Reds at Phillies

Weather information is currently unavailable. 5-Day Forecast
GAME: Cincinnati Reds (14-21) at Philadelphia Phillies (21-15)
DATE/TIME: Saturday, May 14 - 7:05 PM EST
WHERE: Citizens Bank Park, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

The Philadelphia Phillies are making the most of their modest offense to author one of baseball's feel-good stories in the early season. Winners of five of their last six overall and a majors-best 13 of 16 one-run decisions, the upstart Phillies look to continue their good fortune on Saturday as they vie for a series victory over the visiting Cincinnati Reds.

Light-hitting rookie Tyler Goeddel made amends for a gaffe in the outfield by ripping an RBI triple and coming around to score the eventual game-winning run in Philadelphia's 3-2 victory on Friday. While the Phillies moved six games over .500 for the first time since 2011, Cincinnati has dropped 12 of its last 17 overall and 11 of 13 road contests to plummet into the basement of the National League Central. Veteran Joey Votto failed to reach base for the first time in 19 games on Friday and went 0-for-3 versus Saturday starter Aaron Nola when the two met in the Reds' 3-2 season-opening win on April 6.

TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, FSN Ohio (Cincinnati), CSN Philadelphia

PITCHING MATCHUP: Reds RH Tim Adleman (1-0, 2.45 ERA) vs. Phillies RH Aaron Nola (2-2, 3.13)

Adleman has stepped up nicely with a pair of strong starts since being promoted from Triple-A Louisville. With left-hander John Lamb (thumb) now ailing, the 28-year-old looks to build off a no-decision in his major-league debut on May 1 before allowing just one run on four hits in five innings of a 5-1 triumph over Milwaukee five nights later. Adleman has been taken deep in both outings and issued five walks in 11 innings to drive up his pitch count.

Nola has rebounded from a shaky beginning to the season by recording four straight quality starts while keeping the ball in the park in each outing. The 22-year-old has gone 2-0 in that span, but settled for a no-decision despite yielding three runs on six hits in as many innings versus Miami on Sunday. Nola received the same fate versus Cincinnati on April 6 despite allowing one run on four hits and striking out eight.

WALK-OFFS

1. Cincinnati CF Billy Hamilton was placed on the bereavement list Friday and will miss at least two more games following a death in the family.

2. Philadelphia CF Odubel Herrera went 0-for-3 in the series opener, marking just the second time in his last 23 games that he was held without a hit.

3. Cincinnati's Ross Ohlendorf was suspended three games by Major League Baseball on Friday, but the RHP is appealing the decision and is available to pitch in the meantime.

Ryan Braun cooled down for a contest but it didn't prevent the Milwaukee Brewers from collecting a victory. Braun had a 12-game hitting streak snapped and will look to start a new one when the Brewers host the San Diego Padres on Saturday in the third contest of the four-game set.

Braun, who is batting .367, was hitless in three at-bats during Friday's 1-0 victory but is still batting .407 with two homers and 10 RBIs over his last 13 games. Milwaukee first baseman Chris Carter is 0-for-20 over the past six contests but drove in the lone run with a sacrifice fly to halt the Padres' season-long three-game winning streak. San Diego left fielder Matt Kemp is hitless in eight at-bats in the series and is just 3-for-35 with no extra-base hits over the past nine contests. Rookie Luis Perdomo will start for the Padres after right-hander Andrew Cashner (hamstring) was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Friday.

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, FSN San Diego, FSN Wisconsin (Milwaukee)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Padres RH Luis Perdomo (1-0, 9.88 ERA) vs. Brewers RH Wily Peralta (2-4, 6.75)

The 23-year-old Perdomo will be making his first major-league start but did start 61 games in the minor leagues over the past five seasons in the St. Louis organization. He has been roughed up out of the bullpen for 26 hits in just 13 2/3 innings and opposing batters have a collective .413 average against him. The Padres acquired Perdomo from Colorado in the offseason after the Rockies selected him in the Rule 5 draft from the Cardinals.

Peralta lost to the Miami Marlins in his last outing when he gave up two runs and 10 hits in six innings. He was the club's opening day starter but has struggled most of the season with a 1.94 WHIP and a .372 batting average against. Peralta is 1-1 with a 7.45 ERA in two career starts against San Diego and has struggled to retire Jon Jay (10-for-30).

WALK-OFFS

1. Padres 1B Wil Myers, who typically bats second in front of Kemp, is just 5-for-39 over the past 10 games.

2. Milwaukee SS Jonathan Villar reached base three times on Friday and is 8-for-19 during a five-game hitting streak.

3. San Diego C Derek Norris (wrist) sat out Friday's game after being hit by a pitch one day earlier.

DATE/TIME: Saturday, May 14 - 7:15 PM EST
WHERE: Kauffman Stadium, Kansas City, Missouri
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

Kansas City has found the road to defending its World Series title difficult during a tough start to the season, but the Royals are looking to reach .500 when they host the middle contest of a three-game set Saturday against the struggling Atlanta Braves. The Royals captured Friday’s series opener 5-1 -- their fourth victory in the past 11 games -- improving Kansas City’s record in interleague play since 2014 to a major-league best 31-15.

Kansas City shortstop Alcides Escobar recorded two hits in Friday’s victory, and is batting .333 while recording at least one hit in 10 of his last 12 games. The Braves have lost seven of their past eight, dropping eight of their 11 games in May while being outscored 47-27 and hitting .220 this month. Gordon Beckham recorded two hits in the loss, and is 5-for-10 with two doubles and three RBIs in his past three games for Atlanta. The Braves are 8-26, matching the 1911 Boston Braves for the worst start in franchise history through 34 games.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Braves RH Mike Foltynewicz (0-1, 5.06 ERA) vs. Royals RH Dillon Gee (0-0, 2.61)

Foltynewicz made arguably the best start of his big-league career Sunday against Arizona, firing seven innings of two-run, five-hit ball with no walks and eight strikeouts in a no-decision. It was a big improvement from his first start of 2016 when Foltynewicz allowed three homers in 3 2/3 innings in a May 2 loss to the New York Mets – and it appears Atlanta will give the 24-year-old a chance to solidify a rotation spot. Foltynewicz went 1-2 with a 2.05 ERA in four starts for Triple-A Gwinnett in April.

Gee makes his first start of the season after seven relief appearances, taking Chris Young's spot in the rotation after he was placed on the disabled list (right forearm strain). Gee pitched a season-high 5 1/3 innings Monday against the New York Yankees, allowing one run on three hits. The 30-year-old is no stranger to facing Atlanta, going 6-5 with a 3.68 ERA in 17 starts for the Mets against the Braves from 2010-2015.

WALK-OFFS

1. Atlanta LHP Hunter Cervenka gave up three runs in the eighth inning Friday, the first runs he’s allowed in 16 appearances.

2. Kansas City placed RHP Kris Medlen (a former Atlanta player who was Sunday’s scheduled starter) on the disabled list with right rotator cuff inflammation.

3. Royals LF Alex Gordon dropped a fly ball in the fourth inning Friday, snapping a 188-game streak without an error.

Re: MLB Betting Info. 5/14

Preview: Blue Jays at Rangers

Current Conditions - Arlington

SUNNY 81 °F
Wind: SSE 12
5-Day Forecast
GAME: Toronto Blue Jays (19-18) at Texas Rangers (20-16)
DATE/TIME: Saturday, May 14 - 8:05 PM EST
WHERE: Globe Life Park in Arlington, Arlington, Texas
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

The Toronto Blue Jays ended the Texas Rangers' 2015 season with a dramatic home run and they relied on the long ball to prevail in their first trip back to Arlington since winning the decisive Game 5 of the American League Division Series. Winners of seven of their last 10, Toronto continues its three-game series at Texas on Saturday night.

Knuckleballer R.A. Dickey tossed eight scoreless innings while a pair of slumping players, Edwin Encarnacion and Troy Tulowitzki, clubbed eighth-inning homers as the Blue Jays handed the Rangers their second loss in seven games. After amassing 46 runs during its previous six games, Texas managed just three hits Friday and was shut out for only the second time this season. The Rangers fortified their bullpen by calling up former No. 1 overall draft pick Matt Bush, a converted shortstop who spent 34 months in prison for nearly killing a motorcyclist while driving under the influence in 2012. The 30-year-old Bush, who was selected one spot in front of Justin Verlander in 2004, pitched a perfect ninth inning Friday in his major-league debut.

TV: 8:05 p.m. ET, Sportsnet (Toronto), FSN Southwest (Texas)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Blue Jays RH Marco Estrada (1-2, 2.39 ERA) vs. Rangers RH Colby Lewis (2-0, 3.20)

Estrada is coming off his best outing since winning his season debut, but he remains winless over his last five starts due mainly to a punchless offense that has provided him with a total of nine runs in that span. The 32-year-old limited the Los Angeles Dodgers to one run on three hits while striking out eight in a no-decision on Sunday. Estrada held the Rangers to one run on two hits over six innings in another no-decision on May 3.

Lewis went seven innings for the third straight start last time out but did not factor in the decision after holding the Chicago White Sox to two runs and five hits. Lewis has surrendered nine homers, including a two-run blast to Encarnacion that cost him a victory in Toronto on May 4. Jose Bautista is 5-for-14 and has gone deep twice against Lewis, who is 3-6 with a 6.60 ERA and 16 homers allowed in 58 2/3 innings lifetime versus the Blue Jays.

WALK-OFFS

1. Encarnacion belted his 204th homer with Toronto to move past Joe Carter into fourth place on the franchise's all-time list.

2. The Rangers on Friday agreed to a minor-league deal with veteran free-agent RHP Kyle Lohse.

3. Tulowitzki, who hit his 200th career homer, has three RBIs in two of the past three games.

PREDICTION: Blue Jays 6, Rangers 4
