Preview: Giants at Dodgers
Gracenote
Aug 12, 2018

The Los Angeles Dodgers slid out of first place in the National League West with three straight losses over the weekend to a fellow division contender. The Dodgers will try to get in the win column at the expense of their biggest rival when they host the San Francisco Giants on Monday for the opener of their three-game series.

Los Angeles dropped three consecutive one-run decisions at Colorado over the weekend and are struggling to cover the loss of closer Kenley Jansen (irregular heartbeat). J.T. Chargois got a chance to fill in on Saturday but squandered a two-run lead by serving up a three-run, walk-off homer to Ryan McMahon, and Dylan Florio walked in the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning of Sunday's 4-3 setback. The Giants are hanging around the fringes of the NL West race as they remained six games behind first-place Arizona by edging Pittsburgh on Sunday. Both teams will put their best foot forward to start the series as aces Clayton Kershaw of Los Angeles and Madison Bumgarner of San Francisco square off.

TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, MLB Network, NBCS Bay Area (San Francisco), SportsNet LA (Los Angeles)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Giants LH Madison Bumgarner (4-4, 2.69 ERA) vs. Dodgers LH Clayton Kershaw (5-5, 2.58)

Bumgarner was a victim of poor run support on Tuesday as he held Houston to five hits over seven scoreless innings, only to settle for a no-decision in a game San Francisco went on to lose 2-1. The native of North Carolina has surrendered a total of three earned runs over 20 frames in his last three outings but is just 1-1 in that span. Bumgarner's lone start against Los Angeles this season came on June 16, when he yielded three runs on five hits - two homers - and four walks in six innings to absorb a loss.

Kershaw has not allowed more than three earned runs in any of his nine starts since coming off the disabled list but did not factor in the decision at Oakland on Wednesday. The 30-year-old Texan recorded a season-low one strikeout in six innings against the Athletics but did not walk a batter and was charged with two runs. Kershaw last faced the Giants on April 8, when he gave up one run and six hits in seven frames but again came away with a no-decision.

WALK-OFFS

1. Dodgers LHP Alex Wood (adductor) is expected to come off the DL and start Tuesday's game.

2. San Francisco OF Andrew McCutchen has gone 1-for-19 over his last six contests.

3. Los Angeles OF-1B Cody Bellinger has recorded multiple hits in each of his last four starts.

PREDICTION: Dodgers 2, Giants 1

Another Double Dip

The Miami Marlins and Atlanta Braves will hook up for a day-night doubleheader to kick off the new week on Monday. The Braves just took part in a double dip on Aug. 7 in Washington, splitting the pair in D.C. Atlanta also host N.Y. Mets back on May 28, splitting that twin bill, too. This will be Miami's first doubleheader of the 2018 season. They swept their only doubleheader of the 2017 season in Philadelphia on Aug. 22. They're also 4-0 in their past four Game 2s of a double dip dating back to the 2013 season, and they haven't been swept in their past seven doubleheaders since losing a pair in Arizona on Aug. 22, 2012.

This season there have been a total of 25 doubleheaders to date, with a sweep in just five of those twin bills (20 percent). The home team has swept just two of the double dips.

Total bettors will be interested in the 'over' in this Nationa League East battle. The 'over' is 5-2 in the past seven meetings in Atlanta, and 41-19-3 in the past 63 meetings overall. In addition, Miami has won just once in the past six tries against Atlanta, and they're 0-4 in their past four trips to SunTrust Park in the northern suburbs. The over is also 13-6-1 in Miami's past 20 games on the road, while going 4-1 in the past five opening games of a doubleheader for Atlanta. The over is also 5-2 in their past seven opening games of a new series, 3-1-1 in the past five against the NL East and 6-1 in their past seven at home against a team with a road winning percentage of .400 or less.

Looking Ahead

Monday, Aug. 13

The Tigers will host the White Sox at Comerica Park on Monday. Detroit hasn't had a lot of luck against anyone lately, going 12-32 across the past 44 games overall, and just 18-41 in their past 59 openers of a new series. They're also a dismal 41-86 in their past 127 tries against right-handed starting pitching, so they do not appear to be a good play on Monday. However, the White Sox are 11-23 in their past 34 against AL Central foes, 3-7 in their past 10 on the road against teams with a losing record and 19-45 in their past 64 on the road against teams with a winning home mark. They're also 2-7 in Reynaldo Lopez's past nine road assignments, and 1-5 over his past six starts overall. In addition, the White Sox have dropped four in a row against the Tigers, and they're 21-51 in their past 72 forays into Comerica.

Diamondbacks RHP Zack Greinke will battle venerable Rangers RHP Bartolo Colon in interleague action at Globe Life Park in Arlington. The Snakes have rattled off 19 wins over their past 28 games on the road, including a 10-3 mark in the past 13 on the road against teams with a losing overall record. Arizona is also 7-3 in the past 10 starts by Greinke, while going 6-0 in their past six road outings by the right-hander. The D-Backs are also 21-6 in the past 27 starts against teams with a losing overall mark. Arizona has had great success with Greinke on the hill in interleague games, too, going 9-4 in his past 13 assignments vs. AL. Texas has been a tough out lately, winning five of their past seven home games, and they're 5-2 in their past seven vs. RHP, too. They're also 5-2 in their past seven interleague games, and 21-8 in their past 29 interleague home battles against teams with a winning overall mark.

In Los Angeles, Giants LHP Madison Bumgarner and Dodgers LHP Clayton Kershaw square off in the opening game for these rivals. This pitching matchup would normally be one of the premier matchups of the season, but both pitchers haven't resembled themselves this season due to a myriad of injuries. After a slow start, though, Kershaw is rounding into form with wins in four of his past five decisions while posting seven straight quality starts. Like Kershaw, MadBum enters this game with a .500 record overall, but he has pitched better of late. He lost his previous start at Dodger Stadium back on June 16, but he posted a quality start in the outing.

The Giants have won nine of MadBum's past 29 starts, while going 1-4 in the past five road outings with the lefty on the hill. The Giants are 5-11 in Bumgarner's past 16 starts against teams with a winning road record, too. The Dodgers have won 47 of Kershaw's past 58 inside the NL West while going 38-14 in his past 52 against teams with a winning overall mark. L.A. is 4-0 in the past four when Kershaw squares off against Bumgarner, while the Dodgers are 4-1 in Kershaw's past five overall against San Francisco. The Giants are 1-6 in MadBum's past seven road outings in L.A., while going 2-8 in his past 10 overall against the Dodgers.

Weather Report

The precipitation should hold off across most of baseball, although the Athletics and Royals could be dodging the raindrops at Kauffman Stadium. There is a 35 percent or better chance of thunderstorms beginning in the middle innings and into the wee hours of the night. Other than that, no trouble spots on Monday.


Tuesday, Aug. 14

The Indians head down Interstate 71 to battle the Reds in Ohio's interleague tussle. OK, they're probably flying a charter. It will be Corey Kluber's first start against Cincinnati this season. He is 2-0 with a 2.30 ERA in two starts against the Reds since the start of the 2015 season. He doesn't face them often, but he has been good when asked to go against the 'Nati.

Mariners LHP James Paxton will take the ball in Oakland for a key AL West series against RHP Mike Fiers and the A's. The southpaw from British Columbia was dominant in his only start againts the Athletics earlier this season, scattering five hits with one walk and a season-best 16 strikeouts over seven scoreless innings back on May 2. He is 1-0 with a 3.64 ERA in five outings against the A's since the start of the 2015 season, striking out 41 batters over just 29 2/3 innings.

Dodgers LHP Alex Wood (hamstring) will come off the 15-day disabled list to face the Giants on Tuesday night. He'll likely have some kind of a pitch count or innings ceiling upon his return. He is 1-1 with a 2.29 ERA over 19 2/3 innings across three starts this season against San Francisco, and the Giants are hitting a paltry .155 against him. He is 3-2 with a 3.63 ERA over nine appearances (seven starts) against the Giants since the start of the 2015 season.

Weather Report

The start of the Rays-Yankees game might be delayed slightly by rain, as there is a 40 percent chance of thunderstorms. The rain will taper off early in the evening, so a postponement is unlikely.

The two Show-Me State MLB venues will be dealing with weather, and a postponement in the Jays-Royals game is likely. In St. Louis, the contest should get underway, but that weather affecting Kansas City will blow east and arrive by the middle innings, with a 40 percent chance of thunderstorms from 8pm CT on into the night.

Precip won't be a problem in Oakland, but the Mariners and A's will be battling a 10-13 mph jetstream blowing out to the right-center field power alley.

Play on: Indians -1½ -105 at 5Dimes


Jack’s Free Pick Monday: Cleveland Indians -1.5 (-105)


The Cleveland Indians are 9-3 in their last 12 games overall. They should have no problem beating the Cincinnati Reds by two runs or more tonight thanks to their huge advantage on the mound in this one.


Mike Clevinger is 7-7 with a 3.37 ERA and 1.200 WHIP in 23 starts this season, including 4-4 with a 2.69 ERA and 1.166 WHIP in 11 road starts. He has been a hard-luck starter with poor run support this season, which is why he doesn’t have more wins. But he should get plenty of support tonight.


Homer Bailey has been one of the worst starters in baseball this season. He is 1-9 with a 6.19 ERA and 1.587 WHIP in 15 starts, including 0-5 with a 6.44 ERA and 1.661 WHIP in eight home starts. Bailey is also 3-3 with a 5.44 ERA and 1.428 WHIP in eight career starts against Cleveland.


The Reds are 1-14 in Bailey’s 15 starts this season, losing by 2.3 runs per game on average. Cincinnati is 2-15 in Bailey’s last 17 home starts, losing by 3.1 runs per game on average. That includes an 0-8 record in his eight home starts this year. Cleveland is 7-0 in its last seven games vs. a right-handed starter. Bet the Indians on the Run Line Monday.

MLB | Mariners vs A's
Play on: A's -123 at BetPhoenix


My Bonus Play is on the Oak A's at 10:05 ET. The Seattle Mariners made a HUGE statement by sweeping a four-game series against the division-leading Houston Astros from Thursday through Sunday. They are now 69-50 and just four games back of the 73-46 Astros and 1 1/2 back of the 70-58 A's for the AL's second wild card spot. However, there is no rest for the weary, as Seattle gets set to visit the Oakland A's on Monday for the opener of a three-game series. Oakland enters the series having won nine of its last 11, not to mention having going an impressive 36-12 since mid-June.


The surprising Marco Gonzales (12-7, 3.79 ERA) takes the mound for Seattle, looking to snap out of a slump that has seen him suffer the loss in each of his last two outings. He has been ripped for 11 runs on 19 hits over 12 innings in losses to Toronto and Texas. However, that 'ugly' two-game stretch has come on the heels of Gonzales winning five consecutive starts from June 29 through July 29. Gonzales is 1-0 with a 2.51 ERA in three games (two starts) against Oakland in his career (Seattle is 2-0 in his starts vs the A's).


Lefty LH Sean Manaea (10-8, 3.50 ERA) goes for the A's and is coming off a start in which he last just 2 2/3 innings against the LA Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday, allowing three runs on five hits with three walks in a 4-2 loss. and thon five hits and three walk. That said, Manaea did manage to keep alive his streak of 12 straight starts with three or fewer ERs allowed (The A's are 8-4 in that stetch). Manaea is 1-1 in two starts against Seattle (3.46 ERA) this season, giving him a career 4-4 record with a 4.12 ERA in nine career starts against the Mariners.


I see this as a very tough spot for Seattle, as a let down off a four-game sweep of the defending champs could hardly be seen as a surprise. All of a sudden, Gonzlaes has lost some of his 'magic' in his last two outings (8.25 ERA) and I just noted that Manaea enters on a 12-start run of allowing three or less ERs. Oakland's been on an eight-week surge and I won't buck them here. Play the A's.

1 Unit Bonus Play on Los Angeles Angels -118


There’s no doubt that backing the Los Angeles Angels tonight means we’re backing the better starter in this matchup with the San Diego Padres. Andrew Heaney is 7-7 with a 4.03 ERA and 1.16 WHIP in 21 starts this year for the Angels. Clayton Richard is 7-10 with a 5.13 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in 24 starts for the Padres, including 0-1 with a 7.80 ERA and 1.60 WHIP in his last three outings. The Angels are 14-1 in their last 15 games vs. an NL team with an on base percentage of .315 or worse in the second half of the season. The Angels are 5-1 in Heaney’s last six starts. The Padres are 16-35 in their last 51 games overall. San Diego is 5-17 in its last 22 home games. The Padres are 0-5 in Richard’s last five interleague starts. Give me the Angels.

MLB | CLE vs CIN
Play on: OVER 9 +105


I think I figured out why Homer Bailey remains in the Reds starting rotation despite being one of the worst pitchers in the major leagues. It's because he has a $105 million dollar contract. I'm not going to lay this big of a road price with the Indians and Mike Clevinger, but I do see a way to fade Bailey and that's go Over the total. The Indians, after all, may reach this total just by themselves. Cleveland ranks No. 3 in the majors in runs and homers. The Indians lose their DH, but Great American Ball Park is one of the best hitting stadiums in the league. There isn't much wind, but the weather forecast calls for a clear night with high humidity. That's conducive for hitters. Bailey is 0-5 with a 6.44 ERA at home this season. His ERA was 6.43 last year. It was 6.65 two seasons ago and 5.56 in 2015. You would think the Reds just would eat Bailey's contract. Homer Simpson could pitch better than Homer Bailey. Clevinger has a 4.12 ERA in night games. He has a 7.15 ERA in two career starts against the Reds the last of which came on July 9 in a 7-5 Cincinnati victory. The Reds have scored at least four runs in 11 of their last 16 games.

MLB | Blue Jays vs Royals
Play on: Blue Jays -118 at betonline


#MLB FREE PICK FROM MIKE LUNDIN


The Kansas City Royals have more or less given up on the season already and they enter Monday as losers of nine of their last 10. This looks like as good of a spot as any for Toronto to give 22 year old right-hander Sean Reid-Foley his big leagues debut.


Reid-Foley has been rather dominant in the minors, going a combined 12-4 with a 2.98 ERA in 23 starts for Double-A New Hampshire and Buffalo and I think he'll make the most of his chance to play with the big boys.


The Blue Jays scored a total of 31 runs in a 3-0 sweep against the Royals back in April and KC righty Brad Keller (4-5, 3.57 ERA) was tagged with one run on four hits in 0 2/3 innings out of the bullpen.


Keller is 3-4 with a 4.09 ERA in 12 turns since becoming a starter in late May, but Royals are just 4-8 on those games and he has given up six runs on 12 hits with six walks in 12 1/3 innings in his last two starts, both Royals losses.


KC is a pathetic 16-42 at home, Blue Jays are 19-7 in their last 26 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.


Free pick on Toronto Blue Jays.
