Preview: Brewers at Diamondbacks

Current Conditions - Phoenix

Cloudy 87 °F
Wind: E 5.8
5-Day Forecast
GAME: Milwaukee Brewers (48-58) at Arizona Diamondbacks (43-65)
DATE/TIME: Friday, August 05 - 9:40 PM EST
WHERE: Chase Field, Phoenix, Arizona
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

The Arizona Diamondbacks look to end a disappointing run of pitching performances when they host the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday for the opener of a three-game set. The last-place Diamondbacks have given up 46 runs during a four-game losing streak and their opponents recorded nine tallies per contest over the last seven.

Arizona, which dropped three of four at Milwaukee from July 25-28, is 29th in the majors in ERA (5.07) while standing in the middle of the pack in the National League in runs scored. Diamondbacks rookie Braden Shipley attempts to end the team’s rough pitching streak while Brewers right-hander Chase Anderson goes for his second victory over Arizona in two weeks after giving up two runs over five innings on July 25. Milwaukee lost two of three in its most recent series against San Diego, but is 7-3 over its last 10 games. Ryan Braun has homered in back-to-back games for the Brewers, going 3-for-8 with three RBIs.

TV: 9:40 p.m. ET, FSN Wisconsin (Milwaukee), FSN Arizona

PITCHING MATCHUP: Brewers RH Chase Anderson (6-10, 5.13 ERA) vs. Diamondbacks RH Braden Shipley (1-1, 4.76)

Anderson allowed three or fewer runs in each of his last five starts and won the last two, including Saturday versus Pittsburgh when he gave up one unearned run over five innings. The Texas native has not given up a homer in three consecutive starts after yielding 18 in his first 17 outings. Paul Goldschmidt is 2-for-3 and Jean Segura is 4-for-9 versus Anderson, who 1-6 on the road this season.

Shipley rebounded from a rough career debut against Milwaukee to limit the Los Angeles Dodgers to five hits over six scoreless innings Saturday. The 24-year-old Oregon native permitted six runs, eight hits (three homers) and four walks across 5 1/3 innings versus the Brewers and Anderson on July 25. Shipley, the 15th overall pick in the 2013 draft, went 8-5 with a 3.70 ERA in 19 starts at Triple-A Reno.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Brewers are the third-worst road team in the majors (18-33) and the Diamondbacks have struggled mightily at home (17-38).

2. Arizona OF Yasmany Tomas has homered in back-to-back games and is 16-for-39 while hitting safely in his last 10 starts.

3. Milwaukee’s highly regarded SS prospect Orlando Arcia went 0-for-6 with two strikeouts in his first two major league games.

Preview: Cubs at Athletics

Current Conditions - Oakland

Cloudy 61 °F
Wind: SSW 5.8
5-Day Forecast
GAME: Chicago Cubs (66-41) at Oakland Athletics (48-60)
DATE/TIME: Friday, August 05 - 10:05 PM EST
WHERE: Oakland Coliseum, Oakland, California
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A


Addison Russell once dreamed of playing at Oakland Coliseum, and he finally will do so Friday as the visiting Chicago Cubs begin a three-game interleague series against the Oakland Athletics. Once a top prospect in the Oakland organization, Russell has blossomed into a key player for the major league-best Cubs, who have won four straight and seven of their last eight.


The Cubs have shown a flair for the dramatic of late, recording walk-off wins in two of their last four games - including a 5-4 victory over Miami on Wednesday in which they scored three runs in the ninth to complete a three-game sweep. The Athletics snapped a five-game losing streak Thursday with an 8-6 win in 10 innings against the Los Angeles Angels, finishing 3-6 on their road trip. Now it’s back home, where the A’s have won three straight and went 7-3 on their last homestand. It also will be a homecoming of sorts for Chicago's Jon Lester, who went 6-4 with a 2.35 ERA in 11 starts after being acquired by Oakland in 2014 to help the team earn a wild-card spot.
TV: 10:05 p.m. ET, CSN Chicago Plus, CSN California (Oakland)


PITCHING MATCHUP: Cubs LH Jon Lester (11-4, 2.95 ERA) vs. Athletics LH Dillon Overton (1-2, 9.33)
Lester has been outstanding in two of his three starts since the All-Star break, including a dominant outing Friday against Seattle. The 32-year-old struck out seven and allowed four hits over six scoreless innings to beat the Mariners and match last season’s win total. Lester is 5-4 with a 3.64 ERA in 14 career starts against the A’s.
Overton’s first stint in the majors hasn’t gone smoothly, as he has posted just one quality start in his first four outings. The 24-year-old was tagged for five runs and 10 hits in 3 1/3 innings Saturday at Cleveland, failing to get through four frames for the second time in his last three turns. Overton has surrendered nine home runs in 18 1/3 innings, serving up three blasts in his last start.


WALK-OFFS
1. The Cubs have not hit a home run in five straight games – their longest such streak since an eight-game drought from June 23-July 1 last season.
2. Athletics DH/1B Billy Butler is 11-for-19 with two homers during his six-game hitting streak, but he’s just 4-for-28 with 11 strikeouts in his career versus Lester.
3. Chicago CF Dexter Fowler has scored a run in six consecutive games, his longest streak since 2013.

Preview: Red Sox at Dodgers

Current Conditions - Los Angeles

Cloudy 68 °F

GAME: Boston Red Sox (59-48) at Los Angeles Dodgers (60-48)
DATE/TIME: Friday, August 05 - 10:10 PM EST
WHERE: Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, California
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

The Boston Red Sox have their sights on ending a 11-game West Coast trek with a winning record as they open Friday's three-game series against the host Los Angeles Dodgers. Boston is 4-4 on the trip after versatile Brock Holt delivered the tiebreaking RBI single in the 11th inning Thursday for a 3-2 victory over Seattle and a split of a four-game series.

Los Angeles posted a 4-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Thursday to avoid a three-game sweep and stands two games behind the first-place San Francisco Giants in the National League West and is in possession of the first wild card. Rookie All-Star Corey Seager smacked his 19th homer of the season, tying the franchise record for shortstops set by current Boston player Hanley Ramirez in 2013. Ramirez (sprained left wrist) is now a first baseman and he has missed the past two games after slipping in the dugout and being injured following Tuesday's game in Seattle. Red Sox manager John Farrell said he would prefer not to play veteran David Ortiz at first despite their being no use of the designated hitter in a NL ballpark.

TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, NESN (Boston), SportsNet LA (Los Angeles)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Red Sox RH Steven Wright (12-5, 3.20 ERA) vs. Dodgers LH Scott Kazmir (9-4, 4.41)

Wright has won four straight decisions but has allowed 11 runs and 19 hits in back-to-back no-decisions covering 9 2/3 innings. He allowed three runs and 10 hits in five innings against the Los Angeles Angels in his last turn to conclude July with a 6.23 ERA in six starts. Wright is 5-4 with a 2.37 ERA in 10 road starts this season, including three complete-game efforts.

Kazmir won seven consecutive decisions before falling to Arizona in his last start when he gave up four runs and eight hits in 6 2/3 innings. The 32-year-old hasn't walked a batter in his last three outings and four of his past five turns. Kazmir is 9-9 with a 3.99 ERA in 29 career starts against Boston and has been torched by Dustin Pedroia (22-for-43, two homers) while succeeding against Ortiz (12-for-51, two homers).

WALK-OFFS

1. Dodgers RF Josh Reddick is hitless in eight at-bats since being acquired from the Oakland Athletics on Monday.

2. Boston 3B Travis Shaw had two hits — including a homer — on Thursday for just his second multi-hit outing in his past 19 contests.

3. Los Angeles C Yasmani Grandal had two hits and two RBIs on Thursday and is 8-for-19 with two homers and seven RBIs during a five-game hitting streak.

Re: MLB Betting Info. 8/5

Preview: Angels at Mariners

Current Conditions - Seattle

Clear 62 °F
Wind: N 0.0
5-Day Forecast
GAME: Los Angeles Angels (49-59) at Seattle Mariners (54-53)
DATE/TIME: Friday, August 05 - 10:10 PM EST
WHERE: Safeco Field, Seattle, Washington
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

The Seattle Mariners are attempting to make up ground in the American League wild-card race and are entering a stretch in which seven of their next 13 games are against the soaring Los Angeles Angels. Seattle is just 2-4 against the Angels this season and Los Angeles is a 12-7 since the All-Star break entering Friday's opener of a three-game series in Seattle.

The Mariners, who are five games behind the Boston Red Sox for the AL's second wild card, opened a 10-game homestand with a four-game split against the Boston — losing Thursday's finale 3-2 in 11 innings. Seattle second baseman Robinson Cano was hitless in eight at-bats over the past two games and is a dismal 3-for-25 against the Angels this season. Los Angeles center fielder Mike Trout is expected back in the starting lineup after not entering Thursday's 8-6, 10-inning loss to the Oakland Athletics until the eighth inning because of a head cold. Struggling Angels right-hander Tim Lincecum, who was born in the Seattle suburb of Bellevue before becoming a high school standout in nearby Renton and a college star at the University of Washington, starts at Safeco Field for the second time in his career.

TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, FSN West (Los Angeles), ROOT (Seattle)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Angels RH Tim Lincecum (2-5, 8.49 ERA) vs. Mariners RH Felix Hernandez (5-4, 3.46)

Lincecum has been awful in eight outings since joining the Angels and has served up 10 homers in 35 innings. Opposing batters are hitting .381 against him and he has allowed 59 hits and 21 walks for a horrific 2.29 WHIP. Lincecum is 1-1 with a 5.91 ERA in two career starts against Seattle and has struggled to retire Chris Iannetta (7-for-18) while serving up three homers to Seth Smith (12-for-47).

Hernandez is 1-0 with a 5.60 ERA in three starts since returning from a calf injury and has issued eight walks in 17 2/3 innings. He received a no-decision against the Chicago Cubs in his last turn when he allowed two runs and two hits in five innings while striking out eight and walking five. Hernandez is 14-16 with a 3.32 ERA in 48 career starts against Los Angeles and has had trouble with Trout (27-for-72, five home runs).

WALK-OFFS

1. Mariners DH Nelson Cruz was 1-for-13 with six strikeouts in the four games against Boston— the hit was a home run.

2. Angels SS Andrelton Simmons had three hits Thursday and is 8-for-19 during a five-game hitting streak.

3. Seattle RHP Steve Cishek (hip) was placed on the 15-day disabled list Thursday after being removed as closer earlier in the week.

Preview: Phillies at Padres

Current Conditions - San Diego

Cloudy 70 °F
Wind: WSW 4.6
5-Day Forecast
GAME: Philadelphia Phillies (50-60) at San Diego Padres (47-61)
DATE/TIME: Friday, August 05 - 10:40 PM EST
WHERE: Petco Park, San Diego, California
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

Philadelphia's Jeremy Hellickson was a prime candidate to be moved prior to Monday's trade deadline, but the veteran right-hander remained a Phillie and takes the ball in Friday's three-game series opener against the Padres in San Diego. “Now that it's passed us, I'm happy to have him,” Philadelphia manager Pete Mackanin told reporters. “Obviously there wasn't the right deal. I'm happy to have him with us, and I think he's fine with it.”

“I think having Jeremy here is very important to our club,” Phillies general manager Matt Klentak told reporters. “There was a reason we brought him here in the first place. The reason we traded for him was to add some stability to our rotation, help to mentor our young pitchers, to help to protect them from the workloads, help to save the bullpen." As Philadelphia (50-60) continues with an eye toward the future, San Diego (47-61) won't look back after trading Matt Kemp prior to the deadline and dumping other high-priced free agents James Shields and Justin Upton earlier this season as its attempt to "go for it" failed. "That was a bad experiment,” executive chairman Ron Fowler told reporters as the Padres begin rebuilding again. “The chemistry wasn’t there. But we took a run at it.” Christian Friedrich is coming off a quality start for the first time in seven outings for San Diego, which continues its nine-game homestand after splitting six contests with Milwaukee (2-1) and Cincinnati (1-2).

TV: 10:40 p.m. ET, CSN Philadelphia, FSN San Diego

PITCHING MATCHUP: Phillies RH Jeremy Hellickson (8-7, 3.70 ERA) vs. Padres LH Christian Friedrich (4-6, 4.72)

Hellickson stretched his unbeaten streak to three starts (2-0) after allowing three runs and nine hits in 5 2/3 innings of a 9-5 victory in Atlanta on Saturday. The 29-year-old Iowa native is 4-1 with a 2.27 ERA in his last seven starts. Wil Myers (4-for-11, two solo home runs) fares well against Hellickson, who is 1-4 with a 7.18 ERA in seven starts versus San Diego - 1-4, 6.98 in six outings last season while pitching for Arizona.

Friedrich earned a no-decision after yielding one run and five hits in six innings of the Padres' 2-1 victory over Cincinnati on Saturday. The 29-year-old Illinois native hasn't won since June 23 and was 0-4 with a 7.71 ERA in his five starts prior to Saturday. Carlos Ruiz is 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles against Friedrich, who is 1-0 in four appearances (one start) with nine strikeouts and one run allowed in 10 innings versus Philadelphia.

WALK-OFFS

1. San Diego rookie OF Jabari Blash (.189) is 4-for-12 in his last four games, including his first major-league home run in Wednesday's 12-3 victory over Milwaukee.

2. The Padres have won 129 consecutive games when leading after eight innings.

3. The Phillies won three of four against San Diego from April 11-14 - two by shutout - as the Padres were blanked in five of their first 10 games this season.
