Getting an early start on the games for Monday. There were 7 teams going for sweeps on Sunday..Mets, Cubs, Jays, Angels all swept. Brewers lost in extras and the Rangers and Tigers have yet to play. Some of the numbers are not updated like the hitting because they do not include the games on Sunday however all of the starting pitching numbers are correct.
Red Sox -121 / Mariners +111:
Sox are 25-14 on the road this yr, Mariners are 21-15 at home. Sox are 12-10 in the month of June, Mariners are 13-9 in June..

Tavarez last 7 = 4-0, 3.65era and has not allowed more than 4er in L9.
**Sox are 8-5 when Tavarez starts.

***Mariners are 2-7 when Weaver starts.
***Sox vs. Weaver = Crisp (.400 in 5ab), Drew (.250 in 12ab), Lowell (.300 in 10ab), Lugo (.333 in 12ab), Ortiz (.304 in 23ab), Manny (.304 in 23ab), Varitek (.421 in 19ab)

Sox Bullpen: 2.79era overall, .78era L3
Mariner Bullpen: 3.17era overall, 7.82era L3
Other Notes: What are we suppose to think of Weaver? I know what I think and I think he is going to have a lot of trouble w/ the Sox who welcome back the DH to their lineup. He has not done well vs. good offenses (Bos, Minn, NYY, Det, and CHC who got 10 hits off him but only 3er) this yr and this is a cheap price to fade him vs a team he historically has trouble with. Mariners started the Month of June 9-2 but are just 4-7 in their L10 in the month. Tavarez has pitched vs. the Mariners in his career but has never started vs. them. He has however started 9 games on the road this season.
Cards +147 / Mets -157 ....O 9 -120 / U 9 +100:
Maroth will be making his first start this yr in the NL and for a new team. Interesting situation here since this will be his first start since the trade and he went from basically the AL Central leader to the NL Central 3-4th place.. I'm not in his head but there has to be some feelings of disappointment. Now Maroth on the yr is 5-2 w/ 5.06era, 13g, 78.1ip, 97h, 33bb, 28k. Detroit averaged 6.46runs/game when he started. Logically the Cards are not going to support him the way the Tigers did, they just can't. Mets moved to 21-18 at home after Sundays games and the Cards are 16-20 on the road. Mets are 2-8 in their L10 vs. LHP and are 7-14 in the month of June. Cards are 11-10 in the month of June. The series this yr is 3-0 Mets.
Maroth L3 games = 2-0, 4.24era, 17ip, 23h, 9bb, 8k
Maroth Away = 5-0, 5.32era, 8g, 44ip, 59h, 19bb, 16k
*Of his 13 starts this yr, he has given up 4er or more in 7 of them.
Sosa L3 games = 1-2, 5.82era, 17ip, 20h, 5bb, 7k, 1.47whip, .333obp
Sosa Home = 3-1, 3.42era, 23.2ip, 18h, 9bb, 14k, .1.14whip, .273obp
*Sosa last 2 starts = 0-2, 16h, 11er, 3bb, 2k
Cards vs. RHP: .269overall, .268 away, .304 L10
Mets vs. LHP: .302overall, .293 home, .235 L10
Cards Bullpen: 3.02overall, 2.92 L3
Mets Bullpen: 3.72overall, 3.22 L3
Other Notes: Mets have had a very rough June but rebounded w/ a sweep of the A's. Have they turned the corner? I don't know but this is an important series to keep the ball rolling. Tuesday they will face Wellemyer, another pitcher they should be able to get to. Maroth making the transition to a new team will be very interesting to watch. The overall division is weak so he might have some success but the Mets lineup is not.. Sosa has been terrible the last 2 games but has pitched pretty good at home. The over looks strong as well since both of these pitchers have been gotten to lately. Mets have had some struggles vs. LHP during their slump in June but this will be the 3rd LHP they see in 4days and on the yr they have hit them better.
Dodgers -130 / DBacks +120....O 8.5 -105 / U 8.5 -115:
Dodgers continue their road trip with a trip to Arizona. So far they are are 3-3, winning the series vs. the Jays and losing the series to the Rays. DBacks just took out the Orioles and the Rays for two straight series wins at home but they did drop the first game in each series. These two teams have met up 5times this yr, LAD lead series 4-1 and took both games in Zona. Dodgers on the road are 20-19 and the DBacks are 24-16 at home.
Penny L3: 2-0, 1.25era, 21.2ip, 18h, 1bb, 19k, .238obp, .88whip

Owings L3: 1-0, 4.58era, 17.2ip, 21h, 5bb, 11k, .346obp, 1.47whip

**DBacks are 7-4 when Owings starts.
**Owings has only given up 5HR this yr, all have come at home.
LAD vs RHP: .260overall, .258away, .296 L10
DBacks vs. RHP: .257overall, .258home, .270 L10
LAD bullpen: 3.43era overall, 2.05era L3
DBacks bullpen: 2.74era overall, 1.59era L3
Other Notes: DBacks did win 2/3 from Penny last yr and some of their batters have some pretty nice numers vs him. He has however been solid this yr minus the start @ LAA. Penny has 12 starts of 2er of less this season. For an under I wish I could see Owings worked a little longer into games but that will come with time, kid is only a rookie. Prior to last start vs. TB, 9 of Owings 10 starts were for 3er or less. Owings lasted only 4innings in his only start vs. LAD this yr but gave up 3 HR's, on the yr he has only given up 5hr, all of which have come at home, in 62.2innings.
Doing Rockies-Cubs, WSox-Drays, BJ-Twins. Will think about Nationals-Braves (under)...maybe few more, who knows.
