MLB Betting News and Notes - Week #15
•Alvarez Replaces Zimmermann On NL Squad: Miami Marlins right-hander Henderson Alvarez will replace Washington Nationals pitcher Jordan Zimmermann on the National League roster for Tuesday's All-Star game in Minneapolis. Zimmermann (6-5, 3.03 ERA) exited Friday night's start against the Philadelphia Phillies after 3 1/3 innings due to a right biceps injury. Alvarez is 6-4 with a 2.63 ERA in 19 starts this season.
•Chapman Sets MLB Record With Strikeouts: Reds closer Aroldis Chapman struck out the side in the ninth inning Saturday night against the Pirates to finish off his 20th save of the season. And he made some history in the process. Chapman now holds the MLB record with at least one strikeout in 40 consecutive relief appearances. The streak dates back to last season. The previous record was held by Hall of Famer Bruce Sutter, who went 39 consecutive appearances with a strikeout in 1977. Former Dodgers closer Eric Gagne had 35 straight appearances with a strikeout from 2003-2014.
Chapman is also fourth on the list, as he went 34 consecutive appearances with a strikeout from 2011-2012. But now he’s the top dog. Chapman got a late start on the season after he was hit in the face by a comebacker during spring training, but he has been nothing short of sensational since returning. Averaging 100 mph (!) on his fastball, he has a 2.20 ERA over 28 2/3 innings to go along with a 57/10 K/BB ratio. Just to put things in perspective, Chapman has faced 108 batters this season. He has struck out 52.8 percent of them. That’s insane.
•Skip Schumaker Placed On Concussion Disabled List: Brandon Phillips underwent surgery yesterday to repair a torn ligament in his left thumb and now the Reds will be without one of the potential options to fill in at second base. Skip Schumaker was placed on the 7-day concussion disabled list prior to last night’s game. The 34-year-old utility man displayed symptoms after slammed into the right field wall while trying to catch Luis Valbuena‘s two-run triple in the 12th inning of Thursday’s game. With Joey Votto also sidelined, the Reds are going to have to be creative with the right side of their infield. Last night, they used Ramon Santiago to fill in at second base while Jay Bruce made another start at first base. After joining the Reds on a two-year, $5 million contract over the winter, Schumaker is batting .240/.287/.315 with one home run and 14 RBI over 47 games this season.
•Indians Recall McAllister, Option Pestano: The Cleveland Indians recalled right-hander Zach McAllister from Triple-A Columbus on Saturday and optioned right-hander Vinnie Pestano to Columbus. McAllister, 26, has split the season between Cleveland and Columbus. He began the year in the Cleveland rotation and went 3-4 with a 5.89 ERA in 10 starts before going on the 15-day disabled list on May 22 with lower back inflammation. He was optioned to Columbus on June 20 and has gone 5-0 with a 2.23 ERA in six starts with the Clippers. McAllister is starting Saturday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Pestano is 0-1 with a 5.00 ERA over nine innings in 13 appearances with Cleveland this season.
•Montero Named To Replace Yadier At All-Star Game: Dianondbacks catcher Miguel Montero planned to take his wife and two kids to Disneyland next week, but those plans changed suddenly Friday. Instead, the family is headed to Minnesota as Montero was added to the National League roster for the All-Star Game. Montero takes the place of injured Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina, who was elected as the starter in the fan voting. Brewers backstop Jonathan Lucroy, who was elected on the players' ballot, will start the game in Molina's place. "I just finished canceling everything, but Disneyland is going to stay there, the All-Star Game, you don't know when you can go again," Montero said. "We might go in the offseason now."
This is Montero's second All-Star selection, and he will join teammate Paul Goldschmidt, who was elected by fans to start the game at first base. Montero was also a replacement in the 2011 game that was held in Phoenix. "It's always exciting and it's a blessing for me to be able to go to an All-Star Game and to stay healthy so far this year and to be able to do what I'm doing so far," Montero said. "So hopefully it keeps going, getting better. It's a pleasure to go to the All-Star Game with Goldy in the name of the Arizona Diamondbacks." The 2013 season was a nightmarish one for Montero, who slumped to .230 and also battled an injured back. This year, though, he has bounced back to hit .265 with a .765 OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage) heading into Friday's game.
