Game of the Day: Orioles at Yankees


Baltimore Orioles at New York Yankees (-138, 8.5)


With a four-game showdown looming against American East-leading Toronto, the New York Yankees are dealing with an injury list that seemingly grows longer by the day. The Yankees trail the Blue Jays by 1 1/2 games and will try to prevent the deficit from getting larger when they host the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday in the rubber match of a three-game series.


New York designated hitter Alex Rodriguez continues to reach some lofty career milestones after going deep for the third straight game Tuesday, tying Hank Aaron for the most career 30-homer seasons with 15 and passing Rickey Henderson for 22nd place on the all-time hit list with 3,056. The Yankees were expected to go to a six-man rotation with CC Sabathia set to come off the 15-day disabled list to start Wednesday's game, but that was before they learned 14-game winner Nathan Eovaldi will be shut down for two weeks due to right elbow inflammation. Chris Davis has been one of the few bright spots for the slumping Orioles, belting a tiebreaking homer in the ninth inning Tuesday to give Baltimore only its fourth win in 19 games. It was the major league-leading 41st blast for Davis, who has six homers and 10 RBIs during his seven-game hitting streak.


TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, MASN (Baltimore), YES (New York)


LINE HISTORY: The Bronx Bombers opened as -125 home favorites and have been bet up to -138. The total has held steady at the openning number of 8.5.


INJURY REPORT:


Orioles - CF A. Jones (questionable Wednesday, shoulder), SP M. Gonzalez (15-day DL, undisclosed).


Yankees - LF B. Gardner (probable Wednesday, shoulder), SP N. Eovaldi (out indefinitely, elbow), 1B M. Teixeira (15-day DL, shin), LF D. Ackley (15-day DL, back).


WEATHER REPORT:


There is a very slight chance of thunderstorms at Yankee Stadium Wednesday to go along with a 16 percent chance of rain. There will also be an eight mile per hour wind blowing out to left field.


UMPIRE REPORT:


Paul Emmel will be the man calling balls and strikes for tonight's matchup. Home team's are 15-11 in Emmel's 26 games behind home plate, while the O/U is 14-12.


PITCHING MATCHUP: Orioles RH Ubaldo Jimenez (10-9, 4.24 ERA) vs. Yankees LH CC Sabathia (4-9, 5.27)


Jimenez overcame six walks last time out to earn the victory in Toronto, limiting the Blue Jays to two runs (one earned) and four hits over 5 2/3 innings. That ended a four-start winless drought for Jimenez, who permitted 18 runs in that span and has failed to get through six innings in five consecutive outings. He was hammered for seven runs in 2 1/3 innings at Yankee Stadium on July 23 to drop to 3-5 with a 6.60 ERA versus New York.


Sabathia, who has not won in two months, will be making his first start since Aug. 23, when knee pain forced him to exit a game against Cleveland in the third inning. Even though his last victory came on July 8, the 35-year-old Sabathia is 0-1 with six no-decisions over his last seven turns. He gave up four runs in each of his two starts versus the Orioles this season, but sports an 18-7 record and 3.48 ERA in 32 starts against them.


TRENDS:


* Yankees are 7-1 in Sabathia's last eight home starts versus the Orioles.
* Under is 4-1 in Sabathia's last six home starts versus the Orioles.
* Orioles are 1-5 in the last six meetings.
* Over is 4-0 in Jiminez's last four starts versus the AL East.


COVERS CONSENSUS:


The Yankees are the popular here, with 71.47 percent of wagers backing the New York at -138.

Latos cashing Overs since coming to Dodgers


Mat Latos has struggled since coming to the Los Angeles Dodgers in a trade with the Miami Marlins. The righty is 0-2 with a a 6.56 ERA in five starts since joining the club.


Thanks to that ERA, Overs have been cashing in his outings of late. Over wagers are 4-1 in his five starts in Dodger blue.


“He hasn’t pitched as well as he’s capable of, that’s for sure,” manager Don Mattingly told reporters. “I think he would admit that.”


Latos is scheduled to get that ball at the Los Angeles Angels Wednesday evening.

Bullpen fails Cubs in pivotal loss to Cardinals


ST. LOUIS -- For 7 1/2 innings Wednesday, the Chicago Cubs were on their way to a sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals that would have given them a real puncher's chance to win the National League Central.


But manager Joe Maddon lifted Jon Lester for a pinch-hitter in the eighth and the bullpen followed with the kind of meltdown that marked the season's first half, turning a 3-1 lead into a galling 4-3 defeat.


Lester was at 105 pitches after seven innings in which he allowed just two hits and a run, walking one and fanning seven. He retired 20 of the last 21 hitters, allowing exactly zero hard-hit balls during that span.


While St. Louis wouldn't bite on the proffered bait -- players and manager Mike Matheny saying Chicago has a capable bullpen -- it had to be thrilled that Lester wasn't asked for another 10 or 15 pitches.


"I thought he was really good today after that first inning," Maddon said of Lester. "I thought we played a really good game, but we can't permit that kind of stuff to happen. We have to finish that game up."


Instead, Pedro Strop, Clayton Richard and Fernando Rodney gave up three hits and three runs, dealing the kind of gut-wrenching loss that has been a Cubs specialty for 107 years. Four games with hapless Philadelphia might wash the bitter taste away this weekend, but a two-game swing in the division -- from 5 1/2 out to 7 1/2 out -- will be hard to overcome.

Mets are becoming road warriors


Being away from Citi Field doesn't bother the New York Mets, who have gone 10-2 in their last 12 road games, scoring a ridiculous 8.67 runs per game over that stretch.


With such a high run production it's no surprise the over is 9-3 in the Mets last 12 road games and is 19-5-1 in their last 22 road games.


The Mets visit the Washington Nationals Wednesday and send All-Star Jacob deGrom to the mound to take on the Nats Stephen Strasburgh.


The Mets are currently slight +106 underdogs with a total at 7.5.


------------------------


Chance of thunderstorms at Nationals Park


It could get a little wet for Wednesday's series finale between the Mets and Nationals in Washington with a chance of thunderstorms and a 45 percent chance of rain in the forecast.


Temperatures will be in the mid 80s at gametime with a slight six mile per hour wind gusting out to left center field.


The Nationals, currently -115 home favorites, send Stephen Strasburg (4.35 ERA, 10-8 O/U)to take on the Mets Jacob deGrom (2.40 ERA, 13-12 O/U). The total sits at 7.5.
