Preview: Phillies at Padres
Gracenote
Aug 12, 2018

Finding offense away from home has been a bit of a chore recently for the Philadelphia Phillies, although a rare exception came in their latest victory. The Phillies attempt to claim their first road series in six tries Sunday, when they visit the San Diego Padres for the rubber match of their three-game set.

Philadelphia entered Saturday having scored a total of seven runs more than halfway through its six-game trek and was coming off consecutive shutout losses in which 11 of its 12 hits were singles. However, the Phillies got a pair of run-scoring extra-base hits in the first inning Saturday and received solo homers from Maikel Franco and Cesar Hernandez in support of yet another strong pitching effort by Aaron Nola in a 5-1 triumph. Philadelphia, which owns a one-game lead over Atlanta in the National League East despite a 27-33 road record, has struggled for a while offensively away from Citizens Bank Park - totaling 22 runs over its last 10 such contests. The NL-worst Padres lost for only the second time in six games but have been getting steady production from Austin Hedges, who has recorded three straight two-hit performances and is batting .391 during his six-game hitting streak.

TV: 3:40 p.m. ET, NBCS Philadelphia, FS San Diego

PITCHING MATCHUP: Phillies RH Jake Arrieta (9-6, 3.11 ERA) vs. Padres LH Joey Lucchesi (5-6, 3.70)

Arrieta remained unbeaten in seven starts after a no-decision Monday in Arizona, failing to notch his 10th win of the season when the bullpen squandered a two-run lead after he tossed eight scoreless innings. The 2015 NL Cy Young Award winner is 4-0 with a 2.28 ERA since the beginning of July and has yielded fewer than three runs six times over that span. Arrieta's worst start in that stretch came against San Diego on July 20, when he gave up five runs - four earned - over 3 1/3 frames in a no-decision.

Lucchesi tied his season high with nine strikeouts but failed to factor in the decision last Sunday in Chicago after giving up three runs - two earned - and seven hits over 5 2/3 innings against the Cubs. The 25-year-old rookie hasn't completed six frames since returning from a right hip strain in mid-June, but he has posted a 3.48 ERA over his last seven outings. Lucchesi owns a 3-4 record with a 4.21 ERA in 11 home outings as he makes his first career start against Philadelphia.

WALK-OFFS

1. With Saturday's triumph, the Phillies avoided losing five straight in San Diego for the first time since 1998.

2. Padres OF Hunter Renfroe has recorded multiple hits in five of his last six contests and is 13-for-36 with four homers and 12 RBIs over his last nine games.

3. Philadelphia (65-51) will match last season's win total with a victory on Sunday.

Preview: Pirates at Giants
Gracenote
Aug 12, 2018

The San Francisco Giants retired Barry Bonds’ number during a pregame ceremony on Saturday, but that was about the day's lone highlight as the team’s playoff hopes continued to fade. The Giants aim for a split of their four-game series against the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday after being held to six singles in a 4-0 loss.

Trevor Williams tossed seven strong innings and Josh Bell crushed a three-run homer in Saturday’s victory as Pittsburgh won for the fourth time in five contests and climbed within four games of the second wild card in the National League. Catcher Francisco Cervelli exited the contest in the first inning after being struck in the mask by a foul ball and is listed as day-to-day. San Francisco is six games out of first place in the NL West and seven out of the second wild-card spot but may have found a fifth starter in Casey Kelly, who made his team debut on Saturday and threw five scoreless innings in relief of Ty Blach. Buster Posey and Evan Longoria recorded two hits apiece in the loss, but Joe Panik went 0-for-2 and is 5-for-25 with two RBIs since returning from the disabled list on July 30.

TV: 4:05 p.m. ET, AT&T SportsNet-Pittsburgh, NBCS Bay Area (San Francisco)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Pirates RH Joe Musgrove (4-6, 3.41 ERA) vs. Giants RH Dereck Rodriguez (5-1, 2.34)

Musgrove recorded his third straight quality start on Monday, allowing two runs - one earned - over seven innings at Colorado. “I thought that was some of the best stuff I’d had all year,” he told reporters. “My slider was the best it’s felt, the depth on it, the shape of it, was really good.” The 25-year-old native of San Diego, who will be facing San Francisco for the first time, has allowed a total of four runs over 21 frames in his last three outings.

Rodríguez has entered the discussion for NL Rookie of the Year after working six or more innings and allowing fewer than three runs in seven consecutive starts, posting a 1.36 ERA over that stretch. The 26-year-old son of Hall-of-Famer Ivan Rodriguez turned in another gem Monday against Houston, striking out seven without issuing a walk in seven scoreless frames. Dereck Rodriguez has been especially sharp since the All-Star break, allowing a total of four runs and 14 hits over 26 1/3 innings in four starts.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Pirates are 9-3 in their last 12 games at AT&T Park.

2. San Francisco 1B Brandon Belt (knee) began his rehab assignment at Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday and could rejoin the team early next week.

3. The Pirates optioned RHPs Casey Sadler and Clay Holmes to Triple-A Indianapolis and recalled LHP Buddy Boshers and RHP Michael Feliz from the club.

Preview: Athletics at Angels
Gracenote
Aug 12, 2018

The Oakland Athletics used power and pitching to even their three-game series against the host Los Angeles Angels and hope for more of the same in the rubber match on Sunday. Oakland posted a 7-0 victory on Saturday as it belted three home runs while Edwin Jackson combined with two relievers on a five-hitter.

Marcus Semien went 3-for-5 with two homers, four RBIs and three runs scored while Khris Davis continued his assault with his fifth blast in six contests and 13th in 18 games as the Athletics, who occupy the second wild-card spot in the American League, climbed within 3 1/2 games of first-place Houston in the AL West. Matt Chapman enters the series finale with a nine-game hitting streak after going 2-for-5 with an RBI in Saturday's triumph. Albert Pujols recorded one of Los Angeles' five hits Saturday, a day after notching his 1,000th with the club to become the ninth player in history to hit the plateau in both leagues. The Angels had their four-game winning streak halted and were shut out for the second time in their last three setbacks as backup catcher Francisco Arcia became the first position player to pitch for the club since Chili Davis in 1993, allowing one hit in one scoreless inning.

TV: 4:07 p.m. ET, NBCS California (Oakland), FS West (Los Angeles)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Athletics RH Trevor Cahill (4-2, 3.12 ERA) vs. Angels RH Taylor Cole (0-2, 1.59)

Cahill has won three consecutive starts and gone unbeaten in eight straight after registering 10 strikeouts and scattering three hits over six scoreless innings against Detroit last Sunday. However, the 30-year-old Californian has had issues on the road, where he has posted a 6.44 ERA as opposed to a 0.99 mark at home. Cahill has fared well against the Angels in his career, going 5-3 with a 2.07 ERA in 10 starts and one relief appearance.

Cole will make his first major-league start after beginning his career with nine relief appearances - eight this season. The 28-year-old, who also hails from the Golden State, has produced three straight scoreless outings - a stretch that includes an effort of a career-high 3 2/3 innings at Cleveland last Sunday. Cole also has come out of the bullpen 32 times for Triple-A Salt Lake this year, going 3-0 with six saves and a 5.16 ERA.

WALK-OFFS

1. Davis is six blasts away from joining Jimmie Foxx (1932-34) as the only players in franchise history to record three consecutive 40-homer seasons.

2. Los Angeles optioned RHP Akeel Morris to Salt Lake to make room on the roster for LHP Tyler Skaggs (adductor), who yielded seven runs and 10 hits in 3 1/3 innings on Saturday after being activated from the 10-day disabled list.

3. Semien had gone 12 games without an RBI and 43 without a home run prior to Saturday's outburst.

Preview: Nationals at Cubs
Gracenote
Aug 12, 2018

The pitching matchup for the finale of the Chicago Cubs’ three-game series against the visiting Washington Nationals on Sunday night has the potential to be something special. Washington’s Max Scherzer is a threat to toss a no-hitter every time he takes the mound, and Chicago’s Cole Hamels has already done it at Wrigley Field once.


Scherzer has a chance to pitch the Nationals to a series victory thanks to Saturday’s 9-4 win in which Ryan Zimmerman homered twice and drove in six runs and Daniel Murphy went 3-for-4 with a two-run blast. A couple of Cubs have enjoyed recent success against Scherzer – including last year’s NL Championship Series, Ben Zobrist is 7-for-19 with a double and three homers versus Scherzer since 2013, and Anthony Rizzo, who collected his 1,000th career hit Saturday and has reached base in 15 consecutive games, is 3-for-10 with a homer against the ace. Hamels will make his debut in a Cubs uniform at Wrigley Field, where he is 3-1 with a 1.76 ERA in six starts, including a no-hitter in 2015. The rubber match of the series is important to both teams, as the Cubs lead Milwaukee by two games in the National League Central and the Nationals are five back of Philadelphia in the NL East.

TV: 8:05 p.m. ET, ESPN


PITCHING MATCHUP: Nationals RH Max Scherzer (15-5, 2.28 ERA) vs. Cubs LH Cole Hamels (7-9, 4.38)

Scherzer is making a strong case for his fourth Cy Young Award with another outstanding season. The 34-year-old hasn’t lost since July 2 and has posted five consecutive quality starts, including a no-decision against Atlanta last time out in which he allowed one run and four hits over seven innings. Scherzer is 3-1 with a 2.92 ERA in six starts against the Cubs.

Hamels has been excellent in his first two starts for the Cubs, allowing two runs (one earned) over 11 innings in a pair of wins. The 34-year-old piled up nine strikeouts in his Cubs debut at Pittsburgh but had to grind harder to hold Kansas City to one run over six frames last time out. Hamels is 16-9 with a 2.67 ERA in 35 career starts against the Nationals, but he hasn’t faced them since 2015.


WALK-OFFS

1. Washington RHP Stephen Strasburg threw a 64-pitch bullpen session Saturday and is scheduled for a simulated game Wednesday with hopes of returning to the rotation within two weeks.

2. Nationals SS Trea Turner swiped his major league-best 32nd stolen base Saturday and leads the team with 32 multi-hit games.

3. Chicago 3B Kris Bryant, who has been sidelined since July 24 with left shoulder inflammation, was able to swing the bat without pain Saturday, but there is no timetable for his return.


PREDICTION: Nationals 4, Cubs 2

Sunday's WNBA Best Bets
Joe Williams

For the remainder of the WNBA regular season through the playoffs, we'll take a look at the best Sunday bets.

The schedule for Sunday is chock full of action, and there are plenty of playoff ramifications with these games as well. Let's get started.

The New York Liberty (7-22) aren't going anywhere, but they can deal the Atlanta Dream (21-10) a big loss in early-afternoon action. The Dream continue to keep the lurking Washington Mystics (18-11) at arm's length, but Atlanta needs to keep their foot on the gas, especially against a poor side. The Dream looked sharp in the first half of their game on Saturday at home against the Dallas Wings (14-16), and rolled to a 10-point win and cover. Now they face the daunting task of a road game the following day. That's tough for any athlete. Being away from home hasn't been tough for the Dream lately, though, as they're an impressive 6-0 ATS in their past six on the road, and 7-1 ATS in their past eight games against Eastern Conference foes. However, keep in mind that they are 3-11 ATS in the past 14 outings when working on zero days of rest.
The Lib have been poor all around, going 2-6 ATS across their past eight outings overall, while cashing in just two of their past nine contests at home. New York is also 0-4 ATS in the past four against Eastern Conference teams, so they're not expected to provide much resistance against the championship-hopeful Dream. New York does have the rest factor on their side, though, and they're 4-1 ATS in their past five when working on three or more days of rest. Atlanta is also just 2-5 ATS in the past seven meetings with New York, and 2-7 ATS in the past nine trips up north to the city. The 'under' has cashed in 12 of the past 16 meetings in New York, too.

*** BEST BET ALERT: The quick turnaround aside, the Dream are a much better club than the Liberty, who are just playing out the string. Atlanta might start out a bit sluggish, but talent will take over and Atlanta should easily cover by more than two buckets. Take Atlanta (-4).

The Chicago Sky (11-19) and Connecticut Sun (17-13) battle with plenty of playoff implications, too, especially for the Sun. The Sky are mathematically still alive, but can use no further slip-ups down the stretch. Really, they're done, and it's because they can't get over the hump against the good teams. They are what they are, basically - a subpar side. Chicago is just 8-18 ATS in their past 26 against teams with a winning overall record, and they're 1-4 ATS in their past five tries against Eastern Conference foes. In addition, they haven't been able to piece together any success lately, going 1-4 ATS in their past five outings following a straight-up win.

For Connecticut, it's the opposite. They're 5-1 ATS in their past six overall, and 24-11 ATS in their past 35 against teams with an overall losing record. The trends for the total in this one are a bit confusing. The 'over' has hit in six of the past seven meetings overall, but the 'under' is 7-3 in the past 10 in the Nutmeg State (That's really Connecticut's nickname, by the way). The over is 6-2 in Chicago's past eight against the East, and the over is 4-0 in Connecticut's past four overall. However, the under is 7-3 in the Sun's past 10 after a straight-up loss, and 4-1 in their past five working on just one day of rest.

The Wings have the unenviable task of playing in Atlanta and Washington on back-to-back days. It's a difficult assignment for a team that hasn't been playing very well lately to begin with. The skidding Wings enter the contest 0-7 ATS across their past seven overall, and they're 0-7 ATS in the past seven tries against Eastern Conference clubs, too, after their loss to the Dream on Saturday. In addition, they are just 1-4 ATS in their past five when working on no rest. That doesn't bode well for them to snap out of their funk in D.C.

For the Mystics, they glide in having covered four in a row, and they're 4-1-1 ATS in their past six against teams from the Western Conference. They are also 5-1 ATS in the past six meetings with teams bring in a subpar overall record. Total bettors might want to hammer the 'under' in this one. The under is 4-1 in Dallas' past five against Eastern Conference clubs, and 5-0 in their past five against teams with an overall winning record. The under is 20-8 in Washington's past 28 against teams with a losing overall record, and the total has went under in each of the past five meetings in this series, too.

In the evening action, the Phoenix Mercury (17-14) hosts the Los Angeles Sparks (18-12) in what is normally a marquee contest. It is still an important matchup, and both clubs are expected to make the playoffs, but it's an important game for seeding. These are two teams that have had their ups and downs this season, and aren't playing very good basketball recently. Neither has been very good against the number lately, either.

Los Angeles enters just 1-4 ATS over their past five games, and they're 2-8 ATS in the past 10 against teams with an overall winning record. That makes the Merc a slam-dunk play, right? Well, Phoenix is just 2-5 ATS in the past seven against Western Conference clubs, 1-4 ATS in the past five against winning sides and 1-5 ATS in the past six home outings. In this series, L.A. has dominated against the number in recent times, going 7-2 ATS in the past nine overall, and 5-2-1 ATS in their past eight trips to the Valley of the Sun.

Total players might be the biggest beneficiaries in this one. The 'under' is the dominant trend, going 8-3 in the past 11 meetings in Phoenix, and 5-2 in the past seven meetings overall. In addition, the under is 43-20 in L.A.'s past 63 overall, and 24-11 in their past 35 inside the Western Conference. For the Merc, the under is 12-4 in their past 16 against winnings teams, and an impressive 7-3 in their past 10 at home.

*** BEST BET ALERT - PART II: The 'under' is the play in the L.A.-Phoenix battle, with the total hovering around 160. The under hit in L.A. back on May 27 between these sides with a total of 158.5, and the under cashed on Aug. 5 with a total of 161. Three's a charm here. Bang the 'under' (160) on Sunday.

The Seattle Storm (23-8) sit atop the overall WNBA standings, but they have a tough one against a wounded, but still dangerous Minnesota Lynx (17-13) side. If you go by the overall team trends, Seattle should dominate. They're 10-1 ATS in their past 11 following a non-cover, and 4-0 ATS in the past four on two days of rest. They're also 8-2 ATS in their past 10 on the road, and 12-3-1 ATS in their past 16 overall, while going 4-1 ATS in the past five against Western Conference foes. On the flip side, Minny is just 1-4 ATS in the past five at home, and 1-4 ATS in their past five against winning sides, too.

However, Minnesota has been a house of horrors for Seattle over the years, as the Storm is just 6-15 ATS in their past 21 trips to the Twin Cities. The total trends are opposites, too, as the over is 4-0 in Seattle's past four on the road, and 4-1 in their past five overall. The under dominates for the Lynx, going 13-3 in their past 16, and 4-1 in their past five at home. However, the over is 4-1 in their past five games against teams with a record of .500 or better.
