Preview: Marlins at Cubs

Current Conditions - Chicago

Mostly clear 71 °F
Wind: NE 2.4
5-Day Forecast
GAME: Miami Marlins (57-49) at Chicago Cubs (64-41)
DATE/TIME: Tuesday, August 02 - 8:05 PM EST
WHERE: Wrigley Field, Chicago, Illinois
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A


The Chicago Cubs haven’t lost a series since the All-Star break, and they can clinch another victory with a second straight win over the visiting Miami Marlins on Tuesday. The Cubs aim to add to their major league-best overall mark and their National League-leading home record in the middle contest of the three-game set.


Chicago pitchers have racked up 18 straight scoreless innings – nine by the bullpen in Sunday’s 12-frame, 7-6 comeback win over Seattle followed by a shutout from starter Kyle Hendricks in Monday’s series opener. The Cubs improved to 11-6 since the break and have restored their NL Central lead to eight games over rival St. Louis. Miami remains a central figure in the playoff picture, trailing Washington by 4 1/2 games in the NL East while holding the second wild-card spot. Ace Jose Fernandez takes the mound for the Marlins two days after his 24th birthday, opposing fellow right-hander Jason Hammel.
TV: 8:05 p.m. ET, FSN Florida (Miami), CSN Chicago Plus


PITCHING MATCHUP: Marlins RH Jose Fernandez (12-5, 2.79 ERA) vs. Cubs RH Jason Hammel (10-5, 3.23)
Fernandez is coming off a rare rough outing at home, as he allowed five runs and six hits over five frames in a loss to St. Louis on Thursday. He did fan nine batters, however, for his ninth straight start with at least seven strikeouts. That stretch includes a dominant effort in his first career start against the visiting Cubs on June 26, when he struck out 13 and allowed one run and four hits over seven innings.
Hammel matched his career high for victories when he beat the cross-town White Sox on Wednesday for his third straight win. The 33-year-old surrendered just one run and five hits over seven strong innings to lower his home ERA to 2.50. Hammel fell to 2-5 with a 3.97 ERA in 11 career games (nine starts) against the Marlins on June 26, when he took a loss at Miami despite registering a quality start.


WALK-OFFS
1. Marlins OF Ichiro Suzuki hit into a double play as a pinch-hitter Monday to remain two hits shy of 3,000 in his major-league career.
2. The Cubs further bolstered their bullpen by acquiring Joe Smith from the Los Angeles Angels ahead of Monday’s non-waiver trade deadline for fellow RHP Jesus Castillo.
3. Chicago OF Jason Heyward went 2-for-4 Monday to extend his hitting streak to seven games - two shy of his season high.

Preview: Blue Jays at Astros

Current Conditions - Houston

Sunny 80 °F
Wind: N 0.0
5-Day Forecast
GAME: Toronto Blue Jays (59-47) at Houston Astros (56-49)
DATE/TIME: Tuesday, August 02 - 8:10 PM EST
WHERE: Minute Maid Park, Houston, Texas
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

The Toronto Blue Jays were missing two big bats from their starting lineup in the series opener but hope to at least have third baseman Josh Donaldson back when they visit the Houston Astros on Tuesday for the second contest of their four-game set. Donaldson has been bothered by a hamstring injury but did pinch-hit and remain in Monday's 2-1, 14-inning loss while shortstop Troy Tulowitzki missed the game with a chip fracture in his right thumb.

Tulowitzki figures to avoid a stint on the 15-day disabled list but isn't able to comfortably grip a bat. "He feels better, but he's not ready to play yet," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons told reporters. "It shouldn't be more than a couple of days, I hope. He feels much better. It didn't really swell up as much as we thought, so that's a good sign." Houston halted a three-game losing streak with Monday's win as Carlos Correa delivered an RBI double off the fence in right-center-field for the club's ninth walk-off victory of the season. Jose Altuve slugged his 19th homer for the Astros, who are 2 1/2 games behind the Blue Jays and Boston in the American League wild-card race.

TV: 8:10 p.m. ET, Sportsnet (Toronto), ROOT (Houston)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Blue Jays RH R.A. Dickey (7-12, 4.66 ERA) vs. Astros RH Lance McCullers (6-4, 3.18)

Dickey has lost three consecutive starts, surrendering 17 earned runs - and six homers - in 14 2/3 innings during that stretch. The 41-year-old will tie his career high for defeats with his next setback as his once-feared knuckleball no longer is so daunting to hit. Dickey is 2-5 with a 4.96 ERA in 13 career appearances (11 starts) versus Houston and has struggled against Carlos Gomez (7-for-13), who missed the opener with a hamstring injury.

McCullers has struck out 10 while winning each of his last two starts. He has allowed exactly one run in five of his last six outings and has served up just two homers over his past 10 turns. McCullers is 5-2 with a 2.28 ERA in nine home starts this season.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Blue Jays acquired Scott Feldman from the Astros prior to Monday's non-waiver trade deadline for fellow RHP Guadalupe Chavez.

2. Toronto obtained more pitchers in two different deadline trades, receiving LHP Francisco Liriano from Pittsburgh for RHP Drew Hutchison, C Reese McGuire and OF Harold Ramirez while picking up Mike Bolsinger from the Los Angeles Dodgers for fellow RHP Jesse Chavez.

3. Houston dealt RHP Josh Fields to the Dodgers for INF/OF Yordan Alvarez and recalled RHP Joe Musgrove from Triple-A Fresno.

Preview: Dodgers at Rockies

Current Conditions - Denver

Mostly clear 63 °F
Wind: SW 4.6
5-Day Forecast
GAME: Los Angeles Dodgers (59-46) at Colorado Rockies (52-53)
DATE/TIME: Tuesday, August 02 - 8:40 PM EST
WHERE: Coors Field, Denver, Colorado
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

The Los Angeles Dodgers addressed a pair of problem spots Monday, acquiring left-hander Rich Hill and right fielder Josh Reddick from Oakland in exchange for three pitching prospects. The Dodgers are two games out of first place in the National League West as they prepare to open a three-game series at the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday.

Hill is currently on the 15-day disabled list because of a blister, but provides much-needed depth to the pitching staff due to the uncertain health status of three-time Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw. Reddick's acquisition could spell the end of Yasiel Puig's tenure with Los Angeles, which also picked up right-hander reliever Jesse Chavez from Toronto in exchange for right-hander Mike Bolsinger. The Rockies were denied a four-game sweep at the New York Mets on Sunday but have won nine of their last 11 games. Colorado right fielder Carlos Gonzalez has two homers and 13 RBIs during a 13-game hitting streak.

TV: 8:40 p.m. ET, SportsNet LA (Los Angeles), ROOT (Colorado)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Dodgers RH Brandon McCarthy (2-1, 2.39 ERA) vs. Rockies RH Jon Gray (7-4, 3.94)

McCarthy is coming off his worst outing since rejoining the rotation, lasting only four innings while giving up three runs and four hits in a 3-1 setback to Tampa Bay. He had a pair of no-decisions in his previous two turns -- both on the road - despite allowing only two runs and four hits over 12 1/3 innings. McCarthy beat the Rockies with five scoreless innings of two-hit ball on July 3.

Gray turned in his third consecutive gem and won his second straight start by holding Baltimore to one run and five hits over seven innings. The 24-year-old is undefeated over his last four starts, yielding four runs on 19 hits over 27 1/3 innings. Gray has yet to beat the Dodgers in three career starts, posting an 0-2 record and 5.74 ERA with a .317 batting average against.

WALK-OFFS

1. Dodgers rookie SS Corey Seager was 7-for-13 over the weekend against Arizona and is batting .367 versus Colorado.

2. Rockies rookie OF David Dahl has opened his career with a seven-game hitting streak, going 10-for-27.

3. Puig went 3-for-5 with two doubles and two RBIs Sunday in his first start since July 20.

Preview: Nationals at Diamondbacks

Current Conditions - Phoenix

Mostly cloudy 88 °F
Wind: SE 5.8
5-Day Forecast
GAME: Washington Nationals (62-44) at Arizona Diamondbacks (43-63)
DATE/TIME: Tuesday, August 02 - 9:40 PM EST
WHERE: Chase Field, Phoenix, Arizona
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

National League batting leader Daniel Murphy returned to the lineup after missing consecutive starts because of a hamstring injury and continued his season-long trend of stroking hits all over the ballpark. The Washington second baseman looks to increase his .355 average when the Nationals visit the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday in the second contest of a three-game set.

Murphy went 3-for-3 with one RBI and scored three times as Washington racked up a season-best 19 hits and rolled to a 14-1 victory Monday. He signed with the Nationals as a free agent during the offseason and he also leads the NL in slugging percentage (.626) despite not being a traditional power hitter — this season's 20-homer campaign is the first of his career. Washington, which leads the NL East by five games over the Miami Marlins, is 4-3 on a nine-game road trip that ends Wednesday. Arizona, which has allowed 14 runs in each of its last two games, resides in last place in the NL West and had dropped 10 of its last 13 games.

TV: 9:40 p.m. ET, MASN2 (Washington), FSN Arizona

PITCHING MATCHUP: Nationals RH Tanner Roark (10-6, 2.96 ERA) vs. Diamondbacks LH Robbie Ray (5-10, 4.70)

Roark defeated San Francisco in his last turn when he gave up one run and four hits over seven innings. He is 4-1 over his past six starts and has allowed two or fewer runs in four of the outings. Roark hasn't allowed an earned run in 18 1/3 career innings against Arizona in five appearances (two starts) but has struggled with former Milwaukee infielder Jean Segura (3-for-6).

Ray is 1-5 over his last seven starts, including back-to-back defeats. He combined for 21 strikeouts in just 10 2/3 innings in the two losses, fanning 10 against Cincinnati on July 23 and a career-high 11 versus Milwaukee on Thursday. Ray has a mediocre 5.17 ERA at home this season while going 3-4 in 10 outings.

WALK-OFFS

1. Nationals C Wilson Ramos had three hits in the opener — his third three-hit outing in 10 games — and stands second in the NL with a .330 average.

2. Arizona RHP Zack Greinke (oblique) is slated to throw 80 pitches in a rehab stint at Triple-A Reno on Friday.

3. Washington 1B Ryan Zimmerman (left wrist) missed Monday's game one day after he was hit by a pitch.

Current Conditions - Anaheim

DATE/TIME: Tuesday, August 02 - 10:05 PM EST

LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

The Oakland Athletic and Los Angeles Angels are tied for last place in the American League West but both teams were busy at the trade deadline in advance of Tuesday's three-game series in Anaheim, Calif. Oakland and Los Angeles sport identical 47-58 marks, although the Angels have scored 57 more runs overall and are 6-4 against the A's this season.

Oakland, which was outscored 19-6 in a three-game sweep over the weekend in Cleveland, traded right fielder Josh Reddick and left-hander Rich Hill to the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for three minor-league pitching prospects: Jharel Cotton, Grant Holmes and Frankie Montas. "Losing 'Red' and Rich is tough. They were core pieces," Athletics reliever Sean Doolittle said. The Angels were surprisingly active, sending 10-game winner Hector Santiago and right-hander Alan Busenitz to Minnesota for pitchers Ricky Nolasco and Alex Meyer. Los Angeles also dealt right-handed reliever Joe Smith to the Chicago Cubs for Class A right-hander Jesus Castillo.

TV: 10:05 p.m. ET, CSN California (Oakland), FSN West (Los Angeles)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Athletics LH Sean Manaea (3-5, 4.57 ERA) vs. Angels RH Matt Shoemaker (5-11, 4.17)

Manaea has struck out 35 batters and not issued a walk in his last four games (26 2/3 innings), but has a quartet of no-decisions to show for it. The 24-year-old rookie benefited from a personal-best nine strikeouts to limit the damage despite permitting a career-high 11 hits in 6 2/3 innings at Texas on Wednesday. Manaea has struggled mightily on the road, posting an 0-3 mark with a bloated 6.99 ERA while allowing the opposition to bat .328 against him this season.

Shoemaker's throwing error led to his undoing on Wednesday, as the 29-year-old's miscue opened the door for a five-run performance in six innings of a 7-5 setback to Kansas City. The 29-year-old entered that contest with a 3-5 mark and 2.39 ERA while striking out 93 in his previous 12 outings (83 innings). Shoemaker has dominated Oakland in both encounters this season, allowing just one hit over six scoreless frames in a 5-1 win on April 13 before yielding one earned run in six innings of a no-decision two months later.

WALK-OFFS

1. Angels DH Albert Pujols has 12 hits and nine RBIs in his last seven games overall and 12 and 10, respectively, in 10 meetings with Oakland this season.

2. Oakland OF Khris Davis has followed a six-game hitting streak and five-game RBI stretch by going 0-for-7 with four strikeouts in his last two contests.

3. Los Angeles INF Cliff Pennington (right hamstring strain) is expected to be activated for Tuesday's opener against the team that selected him with the 21st overall pick of the 2005 draft.

Preview: Red Sox at Mariners

Current Conditions - Seattle

Cloudy 57 °F
Wind: SSE 10.4
5-Day Forecast
GAME: Boston Red Sox (58-46) at Seattle Mariners (52-52)
DATE/TIME: Tuesday, August 02 - 10:10 PM EST
WHERE: Safeco Field, Seattle, Washington
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

David Price has turned in two stellar outings in a four-start span and is displaying signs that he could turn around a mostly disappointing season. Price attempts to win for only the second time in his past eight turns when the Boston Red Sox visit the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday in the second contest of a four-game set.

Price was fantastic with eight shutout innings against the Los Angeles Angels in his last start but ended up with a no-decision when first baseman Hanley Ramirez made a two-run throwing error in the bottom of the ninth inning to hand the Angels a 2-1 victory. The Red Sox posted a 2-1 victory over the Mariners in Monday's series opener behind solo homers by third baseman Aaron Hill and right fielder Mookie Betts. Boston has won three of its last four games and is in a virtual tie with the Toronto Blue Jays for the American League's two wild-card spots. Seattle closer Steve Cishek served up the decisive homer to Betts one night after blowing a three-run lead in an eventual loss to the Chicago Cubs, and manager Scott Servais indicated after Monday's loss that he will begin using rookie Edwin Diaz in save situations.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Red Sox LH David Price (9-7, 4.26 ERA) vs. Mariners LH Wade LeBlanc (1-0, 4.26)

Price gave up 11 hits in 5 2/3 innings in back-to-back starts before the gem against the Angels in which he gave up seven hits before departing. Despite his lackluster performance, Price has issued just 31 bases on balls and has walked one or fewer batters in eight of his last nine outings. Price allowed one run and eight hits in eight innings in a win over Seattle on June 19 to improve to 3-1 with a 2.25 ERA in six career starts against the Mariners.

LeBlanc is making his first start since July 18 and his fifth overall for the Mariners. He last pitched July 23 when he recorded a save while allowing three runs in three innings against Toronto. LeBlanc gave up three runs and seven hits in three innings in his lone career start against Boston in 2011 when he was a member of the San Diego Padres.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Red Sox acquired LHP Fernando Abad from the Minnesota Twins for minor-league RHP Pat Light on Monday.

2. Seattle recalled RHP Donn Roach from Triple-A Tacoma to fill the spot of LHP Wade Miley, who was traded to Baltimore on Sunday night.

3. Boston activated RHP Craig Kimbrel (knee)— who picked up the save Monday — optioned RHP Joe Kelly to Triple-A Pawtucket and plans to activate OF prospect Andrew Benintendi from Double-A Portland prior to Tuesday's contest.

PREDICTION: Red Sox 3, Mariners 0

Re: MLB Betting Info 8/2

Preview: Brewers at Padres

Current Conditions - San Diego

Mostly cloudy 71 °F
Wind: N 0.0
5-Day Forecast
GAME: Milwaukee Brewers (47-57) at San Diego Padres (46-60)
DATE/TIME: Tuesday, August 02 - 10:10 PM EST
WHERE: Petco Park, San Diego, California
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

Milwaukee’s roster shakeup has created an opportunity for players such as catcher Manny Pina, who was recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Monday after the Brewers traded veteran star Jonathan Lucroy and closer Jeremy Jeffress to Texas. Pina could be in the starting lineup Tuesday at Petco Park as the Brewers continue their three-game series against the San Diego Padres, who snapped Milwaukee’s four-game winning streak with a 7-3 win in Monday’s series opener.

The Brewers have yet to name a new closer after trading both Jeffress and left-hander Will Smith on Monday, but right-hander Tyler Thornburg has posted a 2.32 ERA with two saves in 44 appearances this season and appears poised to take over the role. Milwaukee is also reportedly set to promote highly touted infielder Orlando Arcia on Tuesday, and the 21-year-old could see regular time at shortstop with Jonathan Villar moving to third base. While the Brewers were among the majors’ most active teams at Monday’s non-waiver trade deadline, the Padres were fairly quiet after dealing eight players in the previous two months. Catcher Derek Norris was expected to be on the move, but the Padres held onto the veteran along with relievers Brad Hand and Brandon Maurer, who tossed a scoreless ninth inning in Monday’s win.

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

PITCHING MATCHUP: Brewers RH Zach Davies (8-4, 3.59 ERA) vs. Padres RH Luis Perdomo (5-4, 6.89)

Davies improved to 8-1 with a 2.84 ERA over his last 15 starts after holding Arizona to three runs (two earned) in 6 1/3 innings Thursday. “When he gets in a groove, he runs through the lineup pretty good,” manager Craig Counsell told reporters. The 23-year-old is 1-0 with a 1.35 ERA in two career starts against San Diego, including a strong outing May 15 at Miller Park when he allowed two runs in 6 1/3 innings.

Perdomo recorded his second straight victory Wednesday despite allowing four runs in 5 2/3 innings at Toronto. The 23-year-old rookie finished July with a 3-1 record and 3.99 ERA with a 17-to-4 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 29 1/3 innings covering five starts. Perdomo received a no-decision in his only previous start against Milwaukee on May 14, when he allowed two runs while throwing 60 pitches over two frames.

WALK-OFFS

1. San Diego INF Alexi Amarista is listed as day-to-day after leaving Monday’s game with a left hamstring strain.

2. Milwaukee LF Ryan Braun (right side tightness) has missed the last five games but could be available as a pinch-hitter Tuesday.

3. The Padres reacquired RHP Colin Rea from Miami for RHP Luis Castillo.
