Preview: Tigers at Angels
GAME: Detroit Tigers (17-17) at Los Angeles Angels (18-20)
DATE/TIME: Saturday, May 13 - 9:07 PM EST
WHERE: Angel Stadium of Anaheim, Anaheim, California
The Los Angeles Angels hope to continue their offensive surge when they host the Detroit Tigers on Saturday for the third contest of their four-game series. After being limited to one run in each of their previous two games, the Angels erupted for 14 hits en route to a 7-0 triumph on Friday.
Mike Trout returned to center field for Los Angeles after returning from a hamstring injury as the designated hitter on Thursday and belted a two-run homer, giving him a hit in 18 of his last 19 games. The Tigers were held to four hits as they fell to 3-4 on their nine-game road trip. Detroit welcomed J.D. Martinez back to the lineup Friday, as the outfielder went 1-for-3 in his season debut. Martinez had been sidelined since suffering a strained ligment in his right foot during spring training.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Tigers LH Daniel Norris (2-2, 4.55 ERA) vs. Angels RH Ricky Nolasco (2-2, 4.31)
Norris has surrendered four earned runs in three of his last four outings, including a no-decision at Oakland on Sunday in which he yielded a total of five runs over 4 2/3 innings. The 24-year-old native of Tennessee worked fewer than five frames in each of those three turns and has not lasted more than six since his season debut (6 1/3). Norris will be facing Los Angeles for the first time in his career.
Nolasco has allowed three runs or fewer in five of his seven starts this season but has won only two of those contests. The 34-year-old Californian settled for a no-decision at Oakland on Monday after giving up two runs and five hits while striking out a season-high 10 in seven innings. Nolasco has made nine career starts against Detroit, going 2-4 with a 4.09 ERA.
WALK-OFFS
1. The Tigers placed OF Jim Adduci on the disabled list with a right oblique strain.
2. Los Angeles INF Cliff Pennington has recorded eight hits in his last 21 at-bats following Friday's 3-for-4 performance.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Tigers LH Daniel Norris (2-2, 4.55 ERA) vs. Angels RH Ricky Nolasco (2-2, 4.31)
Norris has surrendered four earned runs in three of his last four outings, including a no-decision at Oakland on Sunday in which he yielded a total of five runs over 4 2/3 innings. The 24-year-old native of Tennessee worked fewer than five frames in each of those three turns and has not lasted more than six since his season debut (6 1/3). Norris will be facing Los Angeles for the first time in his career.
Nolasco has allowed three runs or fewer in five of his seven starts this season but has won only two of those contests. The 34-year-old Californian settled for a no-decision at Oakland on Monday after giving up two runs and five hits while striking out a season-high 10 in seven innings. Nolasco has made nine career starts against Detroit, going 2-4 with a 4.09 ERA.
WALK-OFFS
1. The Tigers placed OF Jim Adduci on the disabled list with a right oblique strain.
2. Los Angeles INF Cliff Pennington has recorded eight hits in his last 21 at-bats following Friday's 3-for-4 performance.
3. Detroit will need to capture the final two games in order to win its first series at Angel Stadium since Aug. 24-26, 2009.

NHL | Senators vs Penguins
Play on: Penguins -185 at 5Dimes
ake the money-line with the Pittsburgh Penguins versus the Ottawa Senators. I rarely recommend taking money-line favorites (in any sport) priced higher than -150 (representing 3:2 odds). I do like the Penguins in this opening game of the Eastern Conference Finals but I much prefer the Over/Under situation (my Eastern Conference Total of the Year) while also recommending that Totals play along with Pittsburgh in a two-team parlay that lowers the investment risk on the Penguins. Ottawa (52-33-6) is a nice story — but they were outscored by the Rangers last round despite winning that series in six games. The Senators also had the benefit of facing a Boston Bruins team that was a M*A*S*H unit in the opening round of the playoffs. If Ottawa struggled with the Rangers’ speed, just wait until they face Sidney Crosby and company who are the fastest team in the league. Pittsburgh (59-24-6) has already been tested by facing the President’s Trophy winners in Washington while opening the playoffs by eliminating a very good Columbus team in five games. The Penguins have won 22 of their last 29 home games against teams with a winning record on the road. And while the Senators won the last meeting between these two teams by a 2-1 score, Pittsburgh has won a decisive 17 of their last 21 home games when looking to avenge a one-goal loss to their opponents. Take Pittsburgh with the money-line (and combined it with my NHL Eastern Conference Total of the Year in a two-team parlay). Best of luck — Frank.

Rookie Cody Bellinger is making a statement that he is in the big leagues to stay and looks to continue his hot hitting when the Los Angeles Dodgers visit the Colorado Rockies on Saturday for the third contest of their four-game series. The 21-year-old Bellinger launched a homer in Friday's 6-2 victory, his seventh blast in just 62 at-bats since making his major-league debut on April 25.
PITCHING MATCHUP: Dodgers LH Alex Wood (3-0, 2.73 ERA) vs. Rockies LH Tyler Anderson (2-3, 6.69)
Wood struck out a season-high 11 over just five innings in his last turn as he blanked Pittsburgh on two hits before exiting. The 26-year-old has been tough on hitters, striking out 38 in just 29 2/3 frames while limiting opponents to a .179 batting average.
Anderson was superb in his last outing as he struck out a career-best 10 while giving up one run and six hits over six innings of a victory against Arizona. The 27-year-old has lost twice to the Dodgers this season, allowing 11 hits - two homers - and walking five in just 10 frames.

Double-Play Picks
Philadelphia Phillies at Washington Nationals (-190, 8.5)
The Nationals and their No. 1 ranked offense had to wait a day for their three-game weekend series against the rival Phillies after Friday's opener got rained out, but the two teams are ready to do battle on Saturday.
The Nationals have dropped three of their last four, but that has mostly been the fault of the bullpen which ranks 29th in ERA at 5.40. Throw in the fact Washington ranks first in runs, batting average, OPS and is second in home runs then it’s no surprise the Over is 4-0 in their last four games.
They face the Phillies Nick Pivetta, who is making just his third start of the season. The young right-hander is 0-2 with a 5.40 ERA, with an opponent’s OBP of .417.
On the bright side for the Phillies, their offense has been surprisingly solid this season, scoring 4.75 runs per game, including 6.7 in the last three games. Additionally, the Over is 7-0 in Phillies last 7 road games vs. a right-handed starter and is 10-1 in Phillies last 11 road games.
Philadelphia faces Nats’ righty Tanner Roark and although he has held the Phillies to two earned runs in two starts against them this year, this game is trending over with the way theses two teams are playing.
Pick: Over 8.5
Pittsburgh Pirates at Arizona Diamondbacks (-150, 10.5)
The Diamondbacks have been one of the pleasant surprises through the early part of this major league season, riding a balanced roster to a 21-16 record after a disappointing 69-93 2016 campaign. The D-backs continue their four-game series with struggling Pirates Saturday.
Arizona ranks in the top 10 in many statistical categories this season on offense, including runs (8th), batting average (8th), OPS (8th), stolen bases (1st), as well as on the mound, including ERA (10th), WHIP (10th), strikeouts (3rd) and quality starts (9th).
The D-backs have done most of their damage at home this season, going a National League best 15-6 in 21 games at Chase Field. They send Taijuan Walker to the hill Saturday in hopes of taking their third straight game against the Buccos. Walker is 3-2 this season with a 3.82 ERA, racking up 40 strikeouts.
Meanwhile, the stumbling Pirates have dropped six straight ball games and send rookie Trevor Williams to mound. Williams is making just his second start of the season and the third of his career and was roughed up for eight runs (six earned), on seven hits in just three innings pitched in his last outing.
Pick: Diamondbacks -150

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers
Streaking: Trevor Cahill, San Diego Padres (3-2, 3.06 ERA, $215)
After a surprisingly decent start to the season, the Padres have returned to the mean losing seven of their last nine games, but that has not been the fault of starting pitcher Trevor Cahill.

Moore has allowed a combined 12 earned runs in his last to starts, giving up 12 hits and eight walks in the process and the Giants have lost his last five starts overall. The Giants are -132 home favorites against the visiting Reds.
