Preview: Cubs at Cardinals
Gracenote
Jul 27, 2018

The St. Louis Cardinals continue to play their hand close to the vest, but if they can’t make up some ground this weekend, they could become sellers ahead of next week’s non-waiver trade deadline. Meanwhile, the visiting Chicago Cubs hope to use the three-game series to strengthen their hold on the National League Central lead.


The Cardinals sit at the .500 mark after a 3-5 road trip coming out of the All-Star break, culminating with a 7-3 loss at Cincinnati on Wednesday. They’re nine games behind the Cubs but only 4 1/2 back of the Atlanta Braves for the second wild card, so the next few days could help determine their course. Chicago owns the best record in the National League and a three-game lead over Milwaukee but is just 6-7 against the Cardinals this season. The Cubs became the first NL team to reach 60 wins with Thursday’s comeback victory, as they rallied from a 6-1 deficit to beat Arizona 7-6 on back-to-back homers from David Bote and Anthony Rizzo in the bottom of the ninth.

TV: 8:15 p.m. ET, MLB Network, NBCS Chicago, FS Midwest (St. Louis)


PITCHING MATCHUP: Cubs LH Mike Montgomery (3-3, 3.73 ERA) vs. Cardinals RH Luke Weaver (5-9, 4.79)

Montgomery has been one of the Cubs’ most consistent starters since sliding into Yu Darvish’s spot in the rotation in late May. The 29-year-old is 3-2 with a 3.02 ERA in 10 starts, and he held St. Louis to one run over six innings in a no-decision last time out. Montgomery is 1-1 with a 1.25 ERA in 10 games (one start) against the Cardinals.

Weaver will be recalled from Triple-A Memphis to face the Cubs for a second straight outing after giving up three runs in four-plus innings in a loss Saturday. The 24-year-old will try to regain the form he showed in his final two starts before the All-Star break, when he allowed three runs over 14 innings with 14 strikeouts. Weaver is 0-3 with a 10.89 ERA in five career starts against the Cubs.


WALK-OFFS

1. The Cubs reportedly have agreed to a deal to acquire LHP Cole Hamels from Texas.

2. Rizzo is 19-for-43 with eight RBIs in his last 12 games.

3. Cardinals INF Matt Carpenter is 15-for-45 with eight homers and 18 RBIs against the Cubs this season.


PREDICTION: Cubs 5, Cardinals 4

Preview: Athletics at Rockies
Gracenote
Jul 27, 2018

The Oakland Athletics are riding a six-game winning streak and hope to continue pouring on the offense when they begin a three-game series against the host Colorado Rockies on Friday. Oakland, which completed a four-game sweep in Texas with a 7-6 triumph on Thursday, has scored 51 runs during its string of victories - including 41 in the set against the Rangers.

Matt Chapman went 3-for-3 with a homer and three runs scored in Thursday's win for the Athletics, who lead the major leagues with 96 blasts on the road and figure to add to that total when they visit hitter-friendly Coors Field. Colorado avoided a third consecutive loss on Wednesday as it edged Houston 3-2 on a walk-off solo homer by Charlie Blackmon for its sixth win in seven home games and eighth in 10 overall contests. Blackmon, who has reached 20 blasts for the third straight season, brings an eight-game hitting streak during which he has gone 12-for-32 into the series opener. Carlos Gonzalez also went deep in Wednesday's win for the Rockies, who are two games behind the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West and one back in the wild-card race.

TV: 8:40 p.m. ET, NBCS California (Oakland), AT&T SportsNet-Rocky Mountain (Colorado)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Athletics LH Sean Manaea (9-6, 3.38 ERA) vs. Rockies LH Kyle Freeland (8-6, 3.28)

Manaea is in the midst of a nine-start unbeaten streak during which he is 4-0 with a 3.09 ERA after settling for a no-decision against San Francisco on Sunday. The 26-year-old native of Indiana allowed just two runs - marking the seventh time during the stretch he has given up fewer than three - and four hits while registering five strikeouts without issuing a walk in 6 2/3 innings. Manaea, who never has faced Colorado, is 1-2 with a 4.45 ERA in five interleague starts this year.

Freeland also is enjoying an unbeaten streak that reached seven starts on Saturday, when he escaped with a no-decision at Arizona after yielding four runs on five hits and three walks over five innings. The 25-year-old native of Denver has recorded only two victories during his run but allowed fewer than three runs six times while posting a 2.55 ERA. Freeland, who will be facing Oakland for the first time in his career, has given up three runs and 13 hits over 12 innings in two interleague no-decisions this season.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Rockies bolstered their bullpen on Thursday, acquiring 36-year-old South Korean RHP Seunghwan Oh from Toronto for 1B Chad Spanberger, 2B Forrest Wall and a player to be named.

2. Athletics DH Khris Davis, who belted six homers during a four-game streak before being kept in the park on Thursday, will be in left field for the series in Colorado.

3. Colorado agreed to terms with RHP Santiago Casilla, who was released by Oakland on July 19 after recording one save and a 3.16 ERA in 26 relief appearances, on a minor-league contract.

PREDICTION: Athletics 11, Rockies 5

Preview: Mariners at Angels
Gracenote
Jul 27, 2018

The Seattle Mariners are 20 games over .500 but find themselves in a fight to hold off the hard-charging Oakland Ahtletics for the second wild card in the American League. The Mariners will be seeking to post back-to-back wins for the first time since the first two games of the month when they open a three-game series at the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night.

After closing the first half by dropping seven of nine games, Seattle completed a 3-2 homestand with a 3-2 win over San Francisco on Wednesday, which marked the 11th time in 14 games it has failed to score more than three runs. "You go through these stretches during the course of the season. It's tough," Mariners manager Scott Servais told reporters. "It's not like these guys aren't trying or trying to make adjustments or whatnot. It's just the ballgames we're playing in right now. We've got to get it going offensively." The Angels had it going offensively in their last two games, scoring 23 runs to salvage a four-game split against the Chicago White Sox. Career minor-leaguer Francisco Arcia was promoted from the minors after catcher Martin Maldonado was traded to Houston and responded by becoming the first player in team history to collect four RBIs in his major-league debut in Thursday's 12-8 victory.

TV: 10:07 p.m. ET, ROOT Northwest (Seattle), FS West (Los Angeles)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Mariners LH Wade LeBlanc (6-1, 3.44 ERA) vs. Angels LH Andrew Heaney (6-6, 3.66 ERA)

LeBlanc rebounded from his lone defeat with a magnificent outing versus the Chicago White Sox on July 20, striking out a season-high 10 and permitting one run on four hits over 7 1/3 innings. The 33-year-old veteran has won both his starts -- each at home -- versus the Angels this season, allowing a combined three runs and seven hits over 12 innings. Andrelton Simmons is 4-for-8 with a home run against LeBlanc.

Heaney registered his fourth consecutive quality start last time out, limiting defending World Series champion Houston to one run and four hits over six innings. He was a hard-luck loser against LeBlanc in Seattle on July 3, allowing two earned runs and matching his season high with 10 strikeouts. Kyle Seager is 6-for-12 against Heaney, who was tagged for five runs in a season-low three innings at Seattle on June 11.

WALK-OFFS

1. Angels 1B Albert Pujols collected his 3,060th career hit Thursday to tie Craig Biggio for 24th on the all-time list.

2. Mariners SS Jean Segura is riding a nine-game hitting streak.

3. Angels INF David Fletcher is 12-for-24 during a six-game hitting streak.

Preview: Diamondbacks at Padres
Gracenote
Jul 27, 2018

The Arizona Diamondbacks let a couple close games slip away in Chicago, but they have a chance to get back on track with a trip to face the struggling San Diego Padres. The Diamondbacks are 1 1/2 games behind the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West entering the three-game series against the NL-worst Padres.


The Diamondbacks dropped the final two games of their four-game series at the Chicago Cubs, allowing the Cubs to rally late in both games, including a three-run ninth inning in Thursday’s 7-6 defeat. Nonetheless, Arizona has won 16 of its last 23 road games. The Padres haven’t won a series since taking two of three at St. Louis from June 11-13. They dropped the last two games of their three-game set at the New York Mets this week, including a 6-4 defeat on Wednesday.

TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, FS Arizona, FS San Diego


PITCHING MATCHUP: Diamondbacks RH Zack Greinke (11-5, 3.05 ERA) vs. Padres RH Luis Perdomo (1-5, 6.99)

Greinke is 6-0 with a 1.57 ERA over his last seven starts and has won eight of his last nine decisions. The 34-year-old racked up a season-high 13 strikeouts while allowing one run and two hits over eight innings in a win over Colorado last time out. Greinke is 10-2 with a 2.14 ERA in 20 starts against the Padres.

Perdomo is coming off his first quality start of the season after limiting Philadelphia to three runs and five hits over 6 1/3 innings in a tough-luck loss. The 25-year-old hasn’t won in the majors since April 6 at Houston. Perdomo is 4-4 with a 5.15 ERA in 11 games (seven starts) against Arizona.


WALK-OFFS

1. Arizona 1B Paul Goldschmidt has reached base in 26 consecutive road games, the second-longest streak of his career.

2. Padres CF Manuel Margot is 10-for-24 during a seven-game hitting streak and is 3-for-5 versus Greinke.

3. Diamondbacks 3B Jake Lamb left Thursday’s game with a bruised left shoulder and is scheduled for an MRI exam on Friday.

Preview: Brewers at Giants
Gracenote
Jul 27, 2018

Newly acquired reliever Joakim Soria is expected to be available Friday when the Milwaukee Brewers continue their four-game series against the host San Francisco Giants. The two-time All-Star will serve as a setup man to closer Corey Knebel for the Brewers, who snapped a six-game road losing streak with Thursday’s 7-5 victory.

Milwaukee, which trails the Chicago Cubs by 2 1/2 games in the NL Central but is 2 1/2 clear for a wild-card spot, improved to 4-3 since the All-Star break behind another strong performance from outfielder Christian Yelich, who went 3-for-5 with a homer and two RBIs in Thursday's win and is 22-for-42 during his 10-game hitting streak. Shortstop Orlando Arcia returned to the starting lineup following a month-long demotion to the minors but went 0-for-5 while batting eighth. San Francisco has lost four of its last five and sits 4 1/2 games out of a wild-card spot, but received a boost Thursday from third baseman Evan Longoria, who went 2-for-4 in his first action since landing on the disabled list six weeks ago with a broken left hand. The Giants will be without Brandon Belt for at least the next 10 days after the first baseman suffered a hyperextended left knee Wednesday.

TV: 10:15 p.m. ET, FS Wisconsin (Milwaukee), NBC Bay Area (San Francisco)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Brewers RH Chase Anderson (6-7, 3.81 ERA) vs. Giants LH Madison Bumgarner (3-3, 3.19)

Anderson remained winless since June 29 after allowing two runs over four innings while throwing 104 pitches in a no-decision against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday. The 30-year-old native of Texas had six strikeouts in the contest but owns an underwhelming 87-to-42 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 108 2/3 innings. Buster Posey is 5-for-12 against Anderson, who is 2-2 with a 5.68 ERA in five career starts versus San Francisco.

Bumgarner recorded his shortest stint in more than three years Saturday, pitching four innings and allowing three runs with six walks in a no-decision against Oakland. The four-time All-Star has struggled with his control since coming off the disabled list in early June, posting a 46-to-23 strikeout-to-walk ratio in nine starts covering 53 2/3 innings. Ryan Braun is 8-for-29 with two homers against Bumgarner, who has made 10 career starts against the Brewers, going 7-2 with a 2.25 ERA.

WALK-OFFS

1. San Francisco has won 11 of its last 14 games against Milwaukee at AT&T Park.

2. Milwaukee optioned RHP Jorge Lopez to Triple-A Colorado Springs to make room for Arcia.

3. The Giants optioned LHP Ty Blach and INF Kelby Tomlinson to Triple-A Sacramento.

Friday's Diamond Notes
Tony Mejia

Hottest team: A's (6-0 last six, 27-7 +2630 last 34)

Oakland is now a season-high 18 games over .500 and has pulled within a single game of Seattle for the second AL wild card spot as they continue a seven-game road trip in Denver in the only interleague series going on this weekend. Matt Chapman hit two triples and homered to close out a sweep of the Rangers, becoming only the eighth player since 2000 to do that in a game. Khris Davis saw his streak of home runs in four consecutive games end on Thursday, but he and Stephen Piscotty are still hot.

A’s lefty Sean Manaea (9-6, 3.38 ERA) has also been dominant of late, winning his last four decisions and leading his team to victories in seven of his last eight appearances. He’s allowed three or fewer runs in nine straight starts and squares off against fellow southpaw Kyle Freeland (8-6, 3.28), who is typically good in his hometown of Denver and has an ERA of 2.55 over his last seven outings. Despite their surge, Oakland is a slight underdog (+105) at Coors Field, where Colorado (-115) has won nine of its last 11.

Coldest team: Rangers (1-8 last nine, 4-16, -1295 last 20)

The Rangers were swept at home by Oakland and have dropped five one-run games over their last nine, which doesn’t even include the eight-run lead they blew on Tuesday in a 13-10 extra-inning win. They’ll hit the road for a date with rival Houston, sending the only pitcher that’s tasted a victory for Texas since the All-Star break to the mound. Yovani Gallardo (4-1, 7.18) pitched six scoreless innings against the Indians on Sunday and has pitched in five Rangers wins in his six outings since joining the team in mid-June.

Despite Gallardo’s recent form, the Rangers are a massive underdog (+230) since the Astros are sending a hot Dallas Keuchel (8-8, 3.53) to the mound at Minute Maid Park. After opening 3-8, Keuchel has even his record with wins in each of his last four starts, giving up only three earned runs in his last 27.2 innings of work, striking out 18 hitters. He hasn’t allowed a homer un since June 5, a stretch of just over 50 frames. Keuchel is 2-1 with a 3.70 ERA in four starts against in-state rival Texas. Houston (-260) is Friday’s third-heaviest favorite.

Hottest pitcher: Wade LeBlanc, Mariners (6-1, 3.44 ERA)

Since moving into the rotation to open May, lefty Wade LeBlanc has pitched in 11 Seattle wins in 15 starts, surrendering two or fewer runs in nine of his appearances. He’s been untouchable at home (6-0), but vulnerable on the road, looking for his first win outside Safeco Field. LeBlanc comes off striking out a career-high 10 batters over the White Sox last Friday, lowering his June ERA to 3.65, which is even more impressive since he’s faced the Rockies twice and beat these Angels on July 3, allowing one run on three hits over seven frames. LeBlanc has allowed three runs in 12 innings, winning both of his starts against L.A. Andrelton Simmons has gone deep against LeBlanc, but Mike Trout, Albert Pujols, Justin Upton, Ian Kinsler and Kole Calhoun are a combined 5-for-33 at the plate against him. He’s yet to face Shohei Ohtani.

Coldest pitcher: Nick Pivetta, Phillies (6-8, 4.69 ERA)

The first-place Phillies slugged their way to a 9-4 victory in yesterday’s series opener against the Reds by belting seven homers and have now seen the ‘over’ hit in seven of their last eight games. They’ll likely need to keep the bats working in order to stay hot with Pivetta on the mound since he's dropped six of his last eight decisions. Over his last four starts, he’s surrendered 19 runs (15 earned) in just 17.1 innings. He’s a capable strikeout pitcher but has really been hit hard, compiling an ERA of 6.00 since June 1, giving up 56 hits and nine homers in just 43.2 innings. Pivetta is 6-10 on the road with an ERA over 6.00 in his brief career and will be pitching at Great American Ballpark for the first time. He gave up two runs on just five hits over seven frames against Cincinnati on April 11 in his only appearance against the Reds.

Biggest OVER run: Dodgers/Braves (5-0 last five)

The Dodgers built up an 8-0 lead to dominate Atlanta in the opener of a four-game set and have seen at least 10 runs scored in six of their seven games on their current road trip. Manny Machado hit his first home run since being acquired and joining L.A. on this trip and has hit safely in six of seven games. Joc Pederson is 12-for-23 (.522) on the trip with four doubles and a home run and will look to victimize Mike Foltynewicz in Game 2 of the series. Clayton Kershaw (3-5, 2.64) has struggled with velocity issues but his last two starts have gone ‘under’ after four straight topped the posted total upon his return from a three-week absence due to a back strain. Atlanta’s last five games have also gone ‘over.’ The Braves avoided being shut out last night when Roberto Acuna, Jr. homered in the bottom of the 8th on Thursday. The total for tonight's contest has been set at 8.

Biggest UNDER run: Giants (18-8-1 last 27)

The Giants were even at 2-2 entering the eighth inning before their bullpen fell apart. The seven runs Milwaukee scored were the most surrendered by San Francisco pitching in 11 games, but Madison Bumgarner takes the mound looking to get his team back on track as they look to avoid slipping under .500 for the first time since June 22. MadBum comes off his shortest outing of the season, lasting four innings due to a six-walk outing. He's given up just 10 runs in his last 36.1 innings and is 3-1 with a 1.95 ERA at home since returning from the disabled list in June. Brewers righty Chase Anderson (6-7, 3.81) has a 2.66 road ERA and has surrendered two or fewer runs in seven of his past eight outings. The total has been set at 7.5.

Matchup to watch: Cardinals vs Cubs

Most Cardinals fans will trip over themselves telling you how sloppy this year’s team has been. A lack of execution in the field and on the mound ultimately cost Mike Matheny his job on July 14 and replacement Mike Shildt hasn’t fared much better. The Cards are a game under .500 under the team’s former bench coach and are 2-3 against the Cubs, who they played five times coming out of the All-Star break last weekend. At home against its hated rival, St. Louis (51-51) faces a now-or-never situation this weekend in its final Busch Stadium dates of the season against Chicago. The Cards hope to start generating some momentum with 60 games remaining They’ll play games No. 160-162 at Wrigley Field from Sept. 28-30.

The Cardinals are 7-6 vs. the Cubs this season and hope to get off to a good start here as Luke Weaver (5-9, 4.79) faces Chicago for the second time this week. Lefty Mike Montgomery (3-3, 3.73) allowed one run in six innings and held a 3-1 lead before the bullpen blew it in a 6-3 loss. He’s allowed one run in 10 innings against Cards this season. Weaver took the loss in a 7-2 setback to open a Saturday doubleheader and has struggled in three starts against the Cubs, failing to get through the fifth inning each time. He’s given up 13 runs in 12 innings, striking out seven and walking seven while being all kinds of mediocre.

Kris Bryant landed on the disabled list with a shoulder issue, but Anthony Rizzo, Javier Baez , Jason Heyward, Kyle Schwarber, Ben Zobrist, Addison Russell and Albert Almora Jr. are a combined 28-for-52 (.538) with two homers and 17 RBI against Weaver. Despite that, St. Louis (-110) opened as the favorite over the visiting Cubs, who utilized homers from rookie David Bote and Rizzo off Arizona closer Brad Boxberger to rally for a 7-6 win at Wrigley on Thursday. The total for this game has been set a 8.5.

Betcha didn’t know: Chris Sale (11-4, 2.13) has been tremendous over his last eight starts, going 6-1 with an 0.83 ERA and allowing no homers in any of those outings while striking out 87 and walking five. The 57 innings he's pitched wihtout surrendering a dinger is baseball's longest current streak. He joined Pedro Martinez and Roger Clemens as the only Red Sox starters ever to strike out 500 batters over a two-year span in his last start and has a league-leading 188 Ks entering Friday's home date against Minnesota. His ERA is the best in the American League. It's no surprise that Boston (-350) is the day's biggest favorite against Lance Lynn (7-8, 5.23) and the Twins.

Biggest public favorite: Indians (-190) at Tigers

Biggest public underdog: Braves (+145) vs. Dodgers

Biggest line move: Red Sox (-330 to -360) vs. Twins
