Preview: Pirates at Cubs

Current Conditions - Chicago
CLOUDY 51 °F
Wind: NE 12

GAME: Pittsburgh Pirates (18-17) at Chicago Cubs (27-8)
DATE/TIME: Sunday, May 15 - 2:20 PM EST
WHERE: Wrigley Field, Chicago, Illinois
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A


The Chicago Cubs aren’t just beating the Pittsburgh Pirates – they’re dominating them. The Cubs have outscored their National League Central rivals 37-11 in five meetings this season – winning each by at least four runs – and will try to finish a three-game sweep of the visiting Pirates on Sunday.



The Cubs are running away in the NL Central in large part because of their 15-2 record against division opponents, which includes a 5-0 mark against the Pirates. "We've fared well against them thus far, but we know the quality they have over there," Cubs ace Jake Arrieta told reporters. "We've just been playing some quality baseball. You just want to see your guys stay as hot as they can for as long as possible." Chicago owns the best record in baseball by a wide margin and is off to the franchise’s best start since 1907 – a year before the Cubs’ last World Series crown. The Pirates have lost eight of their last 11 and have scored two or fewer runs five times during that stretch.

TV: 2:20 p.m. ET, ROOT (Pittsburgh), CSN Chicago



PITCHING MATCHUP: Pirates RH Gerrit Cole (3-3, 3.78 ERA) vs. Cubs LH Jon Lester (4-1, 1.96)

Cole was roughed up for six runs (five earned) in 4 2/3 innings in a loss to the Cubs on May 2, his worst outing of the season. The 25-year-old ace bounced back last time out at St. Louis, holding the Cardinals to two runs over six frames to earn the win. Cole’s one-time dominance against the Cubs has subsided over the past two seasons, but he’s still 7-2 with a 3.39 ERA in 10 career meetings.

Lester has posted quality starts in six of his seven outings this season, and the lone exception was May 4 at Pittsburgh where he threw 5 2/3 scoreless innings in a win. The 32-year-old didn’t have his best stuff last time out but still managed to limit San Diego to three runs over six innings and earn the win. Lester is 3-2 with a 1.56 ERA in five starts against the Pirates.



WALK-OFFS

1. Cubs 1B Anthony Rizzo went 2-for-5 with a homer Saturday and has reached base in 26 straight games, the longest active streak in the majors.

2. Pirates CF Andrew McCutchen was 1-for-4 with a double Saturday and is 13-for-34 during an eight-game hitting streak.

3. Chicago SS Addison Russell has homered in consecutive games for the first time and has reached base in a career-high 17 consecutive games with 19 RBIs over that span.

GAME: Toronto Blue Jays (19-19) at Texas Rangers (21-16)
DATE/TIME: Sunday, May 15 - 3:05 PM EST
WHERE: Globe Life Park in Arlington, Arlington, Texas
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Aaron Sanchez is quietly emerging as one of baseball's top young pitchers and looks to continue his strong early-season start against the host Texas Rangers on Sunday in the rubber match of a three-game game. Sanchez has allowed one earned run or less in five of seven starts as he prepares to face the Rangers for the second time in 12 days.

Texas avenged a 5-0 loss in the series opener behind the unlikely heroics of a pair of recent acquisitions Saturday to improve to 6-2 since it was swept in Toronto. Drew Stubbs, who signed with the Rangers last weekend, belted a walk-off homer in the 10th inning and Bobby Wilson -- traded to Detroit and back in a span of less than six weeks -- clubbed his second grand slam in a span of six days. The Blue Jays wasted a dramatic ninth-inning comeback, erasing a three-run deficit on home runs by Justin Smoak and Troy Tulowitzki. The 6-5 setback dropped Toronto to a major league-worst 3-9 in one-run games.

TV: 3:05 p.m. ET, Sportsnet (Toronto), FSN Southwest (Texas)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Blue Jays RH Aaron Sanchez (3-1, 2.58 ERA) vs. Rangers LH Cesar Ramos (0-2, 5.11)

Sanchez is coming off a superb performance in San Francisco on Monday, giving up one run on three hits while pitching seven innings for the third straight start and fifth time in seven outings. Sanchez is 2-0 with four runs allowed over his last three starts, with three of the runs coming in a no-decision against the Rangers on May 4. He is unbeaten away from home this season, posting a 3-0 record with an 0.96 ERA and 0.96 WHIP in four starts.

Ramos, who pitched solely in relief last year with the Los Angeles Angels, will make his second start of the season following a pair of appearances out of the bullpen. The 31-year-old was whacked for four runs on three hits while walking three in a two-inning relief stint against the Chicago White Sox on Monday. He turned in a solid outing in a lopsided loss in Toronto earlier this month, giving up three hits over 4 1/3 scoreless innings.

WALK-OFFS

1. Rangers RHP Yu Darvish is scheduled to make another rehab start Tuesday with Double-A Frisco.

2. Blue Jays LF Michael Saunders has collected multiple hits in the last four contests to extend his hitting streak to seven games.

3. Rangers RF Shin-Soo Choo will begin a rehab assignment Sunday at Triple-A Round Rock.

GAME: San Francisco Giants (21-18) at Arizona Diamondbacks (17-22)
DATE/TIME: Sunday, May 15 - 4:10 PM EST
WHERE: Chase Field, Phoenix, Arizona
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

The San Francisco Giants look to extend their season-high winning streak to five contests and complete a four-game sweep when they visit the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday afternoon. Denard Span had four hits, improving to 8-for-13 with four runs scored in the series, and Hunter Pence belted his 200th career homer as San Francisco recorded a 5-3 victory Saturday.

Veteran right-hander Matt Cain will try to end a near 10-month stretch without a victory when he takes the mound for the Giants against Arizona’s Rubby De La Rosa. The visiting team has won 23 of the last 28 games in the series, including all seven this season as the Diamondbacks registered a sweep in San Francisco last month. Arizona shortstop Jean Segura saw his 11-game hitting streak come to an end Saturday, but leads the team in batting average (.340) and is tied for the top spot in RBIs (19). The Diamondbacks have dropped four straight after winning a season high-matching five in a row.

TV: 4:10 p.m. ET, CSN Bay Area (San Francisco), FSN Arizona

PITCHING MATCHUP: Giants RH Matt Cain (0-5, 6.69 ERA) vs. Diamondbacks RH Rubby De La Rosa (4-4, 3.93)

Cain is looking for his first victory since July 22 of last season, but comes in off his best start of 2016. The 31-year-old gave up two runs on six hits over eight innings for his first quality start since his season debut, but took the loss at Toronto on Tuesday. Chris Owings is 5-for-7 with a homer versus Cain, who gave up three runs in 4 2/3 innings on April 19 - dropping to 14-8 with a 3.54 ERA lifetime against Arizona.

De La Rosa has won four of his last five decisions, starting with a three-strikeout, one-inning relief stint against the Giants on April 18. The 27-year-old Dominican permitted one run or fewer in three of his last four starts, including Tuesday’s win at Colorado. Buster Posey (4-for-8, homer) and Brandon Crawford (5-for-14, two homers) have hit well against De La Rosa, who is 4-1 with a 3.62 ERA in seven games (five starts) versus San Francisco.

WALK-OFFS

1. Arizona RHP Brad Ziegler has not allowed a run to the Giants in 22 straight innings, but has not appeared in the series.

2. San Francisco 1B Brandon Belt has reached base safely in 22 consecutive contests – two shy of his career-best streak.

3. Diamondbacks 1B Paul Goldschmidt is 1-for-12 in the series with four strikeouts and has one homer in his last 16 games.

Current Conditions - Seattle
CLOUDY 57 °F

GAME: Los Angeles Angels (15-21) at Seattle Mariners (21-15)
DATE/TIME: Sunday, May 15 - 4:10 PM EST
WHERE: Safeco Field, Seattle, Washington
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

The Angels' Albert Pujols is starting to heat up and that could spell trouble for the American League West as visiting Los Angeles goes for a three-game sweep against the Seattle Mariners on Sunday. Pujols, a .310 career hitter, is 5-for-14 with two home runs and five RBIs in his last three games after belting a three-run shot in the ninth inning to give the Angels a 9-7 victory Saturday and raise his season average from .185 to .203.

Los Angeles (15-21), which has seven players — including 60 percent of its starting rotation and its closer — on the disabled list, has consecutive victories for the first time this month as it tries to stay in contention. The Mariners' eight-series winning streak (7-0-1) came to an end Saturday as they experience their first losing streak since dropping two straight in the middle of winning a pair of three-game sets with the New York Yankees and Cleveland in April. Seattle is 16-7 since that slide and leads Texas by a half-game in the AL West as it vie for its first postseason berth since 2001. The Mariners' Felix Hernandez passed Jamie Moyer to become the franchise's all-time winner with his 146th victory in his last outing and opposes Hector Santiago, who fizzled after a quick start.

TV: 4:10 p.m. ET, FSN West (Los Angeles), ROOT (Seattle)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Angels LH Hector Santiago (2-2, 4.07 ERA) vs. Mariners RH Felix Hernandez (3-2, 2.27)

Santiago allowed four runs and seven hits in 4 1/3 innings of an 8-1 loss to St. Louis on Tuesday and is 0-2 with a 6.46 ERA in his last three turns. The 28-year-old New Jersey native was 2-0 with a 2.70 ERA over his first four starts, including a 4-2 victory over Seattle on April 23 when he permitted two runs and four hits while striking out seven in six innings. Santiago, who has yielded seven home runs this season, is 3-2 with a 3.24 ERA in 13 games (five starts) versus Seattle and has had little trouble with Robinson Cano (3-for-19) and Nelson Cruz (3-for-13, solo homer April 23).

Hernandez allowed two runs and four hits in seven innings of a 5-2 victory over Tampa Bay on Monday. The 30-year-old Venezuelan bounced back from his worst start of the season when he received a no-decision after permitting eight runs (four earned) and nine hits in four innings of the Mariners' 9-8 victory in Oakland on May 4. Hernandez is 14-15 with a 3.31 ERA and 1.16 WHIP in 47 starts against Los Angeles — 7-3 with a 1.55 ERA in his last 15 starts — and fares well versus Pujols (11-for-55, 14 strikeouts) while struggling with Mike Trout (.368 in 68 at-bats, five home runs, 15 RBIs, 21 strikeouts).

WALK-OFFS

1. Angels 3B Yunel Escobar returned to the lineup Saturday after missing Friday's game with a jammed thumb.

2. Cano, who leads the majors with 34 RBIs and shares the AL lead in home runs with 12, is batting .407 during a 13-game hitting streak consisting of every May contest with four home runs, 10 RBIs and 11 runs during that span.

3. Pujols has 568 home runs — one shy of tying Rafael Palmeiro for 12th on the all-time list.

Preview: Mets at Rockies

Current Conditions - Denver
CLOUDY 37 °F
Wind: E 13

GAME: New York Mets (21-15) at Colorado Rockies (18-18)
DATE/TIME: Sunday, May 15 - 4:10 PM EST
WHERE: Coors Field, Denver, Colorado
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

The New York Mets entered the beginning of their 11-game road trip last week looking every bit like the defending National League champions, but they appear to be running out of gas as they near the end of their western trek. The Mets hope to avoid their first sweep of the season and fourth straight loss overall Sunday when they wrap up a three-game set with the Colorado Rockies.


New York went 7-2 on its homestand from April 25-May 4 and had won 10 of 12 to improve to 17-9 after opening the season by going .500 through 14 contests. The Mets' offense has been inconsistent at best while splitting four-game series in San Diego and Los Angeles, however, and hasn't enjoyed the surge that usually comes with a visit to Colorado, which has limited New York to six runs after losing its previous 11 meetings with the World Series runner-up. The Mets' season-long struggles with runners in scoring position has continued - 4-for-18 in this series and a major-league worst .207 for the season - which has become more of an issue for an offense that has only hit one home during its weekend stay at Coors Field despite ranking second in the NL with 52. The Rockies have used their first three-game home winning streak of the season after winning only four of their first 14 at Coors Field.

TV: 4:10 p.m. ET, SNY (New York), ROOT (Colorado)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Jacob deGrom (3-1, 2.12 ERA) vs. Rockies RH Tyler Chatwood (4-3, 3.09)

DeGrom, winless in his first two May starts despite a 3.75 ERA, will attempt to recapture the form that allowed him to go 3-0 with a 1.02 ERA in April. The 27-year-old Stetson product settled for a no-decision in his last outing Tuesday, permitting two runs on eight hits over seven innings at the Los Angeles Dodgers. Although he has yet to pitch in Coors Field, deGrom has dominated the Rockies while winning each of his two starts against them, giving up five hits in 15 scoreless frames while striking out 19.

Chatwood continued to be a complete different pitcher at home than on the road (4-0, 0.33 ERA) in Monday's loss to Arizona, falling to 0-3 with a 7.88 ERA in Colorado after surrendering six runs in as many innings. The 2008 second-round pick has failed to produce a quality start in any of his three turns in Coors Field, giving up each of the five homers he has allowed this season in those outings. Chatwood draws the Mets for only the fourth time and first since 2013, when he worked six strong innings in a no-decision.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Mets lead the majors with 36 home runs on the road, but 2B Neil Walker's fourth-inning solo shot Saturday was the first by a position player in the last five games.

2. Rockies RF Carlos Gonzalez has not homered in 24 games - his longest streak since 2012 - or produced an RBI since April 24, a span of 17 games.

3. New York C Kevin Plawecki has five RBIs over his last five games after failing to plate a run in 15 of his first 16 contests.

Preview: Cardinals at Dodgers

Weather information is currently unavailable.

GAME: St. Louis Cardinals (19-18) at Los Angeles Dodgers (20-17)
DATE/TIME: Sunday, May 15 - 8:05 PM EST
WHERE: Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, California
LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A

Despite a rocky start to the season, the Los Angeles Dodgers have to be pleased with the way they have played against the other defending division champions during the last nine games. The Dodgers eye their fourth straight victory at home Sunday when they seek their first three-game sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals in almost four years.


Los Angeles briefly fell below .500 for the first time since early July 2013 with a loss in Toronto last weekend, but took the last two games from last year's American League East winner before splitting a four-game home set with the NL East reigning champion New York Mets. The Dodgers, who last swept the Cardinals on May 18-20, 2012, already have matched their win total from seven meetings with the reigning NL Central champ last season and have tallied 13 runs in the series — equaling their best mark in a home series this season. St. Louis hasn't helped its cause by committing five of its league-worst 34 errors this weekend, and has totaled seven runs versus the Dodgers after averaging 8.3 in a three-game sweep of the Angels earlier in the week. Randal Grichuk had two of his team's five hits in Saturday's 5-3 setback and appears to be getting comfortable at the plate, batting .321 over his last eight games after hitting .182 through his first 27 outings.

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

PITCHING MATCHUP: Cardinals RH Mike Leake (1-3, 5.10 ERA) vs. Dodgers LH Alex Wood (1-3, 4.58)

Leake, who signed a five-year, $80 million contract to leave Cincinnati in the offseason, ended a season-long string of mediocrity Tuesday, yielding a run on six hits across a season-high eight innings to notch his first win in seven tries as a Cardinal. Opponents had scored at least four runs in each of the San Diego native's first six outings, including five runs in two of his previous three. Leake posted a 1.13 ERA while splitting a pair of decisions versus the Dodgers in 2015 and is 3-4, 4.03 in eight appearances (seven starts) against them.

Wood's rollercoaster season experienced another high in Tuesday's no-decision versus the New York Mets, allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits while tying a season high with nine strikeouts over 6 1/3 innings. The 25-year-old has allowed only one earned run in each of his three home outings, but he has been tagged for a total of 17 earned runs over his other four. Wood's only career appearance came in a relief as a member of the Atlanta Braves against the Cardinals nearly two years ago, giving up a run in 1 1/3 innings.

WALK-OFFS

1. After opening 4-for-46 at Dodger Stadium to begin this season, Los Angeles 1B Adrian Gonzalez is 8-for-20 with three multi-hit efforts during a five-game home hitting streak.

2. The Cardinals have scored 27 ninth-innings runs in 2016 after accounting for four such runs all of last season.

3. Dodgers SS Corey Seager is 13-for-31 with two homers and five RBIs over his last eight contests.

I lean toward IM JESS BABY here. Gonzalez will almost certainly be able to get this gelding to break out early in this competition. Had one of the best Equibase Speed Figures of this group in his last affair. LINDA DASHING - Overall the speed figures of this animal look very strong in this race. Players using horses with this rider and conditioner duo have done solidly recently. BRANDY AND CORONA - He has been running well and the Equibase Speed Figs are among the top in this field. The average Equibase class rating of 68 makes this one difficult to beat.

#6 EVERLOVIN WOMAN (ML=6/1)


EVERLOVIN WOMAN - Ran a lackluster race at Santa Anita last time out. Racing on a fast track puts this mare at the top of my contenders roll call. Maiden is moving to the dirt, and may not have liked the turf last out. Has a good chance to get into the winner's circle for the first time.

Vulnerable Contenders: #1 TRYST (ML=3/5), #5 SUGARY (ML=5/1), #2 BEAUTY N BALANCE (ML=6/1),

TRYST - No accomplishments for this mount in a short distance contest over the last two months tells me that this filly is in a very difficult situation Can't play this morning-line favorite off the long layoff. SUGARY - The speed rating last race out doesn't fit very well in this affair when I look at the Equibase class figure of today's event. Mark this horse as a questionable challenger. BEAUTY N BALANCE - A bit of a less than stellar effort when this filly finished seventh. Can't bet on this horse in today's sprint of 7 furlongs. Hasn't even finished in the money in a short distance race lately.



STRAIGHT WAGERS:
#6 EVERLOVIN WOMAN is going to be the play if we are getting 1/1 or better

#4 CATHOLIC COWBOY Well folks this race honors the career of Flat Out who was bred in Florida, he won nine of his twenty-nine races in a track career which lasted from November 2008 until November 2013. He produced many of his best performances at Belmont Park, where he won the Jockey Club Gold Cup in 2011 and 2012, the Suburban Handicap in 2011 and 2013 and the Westchester Stakes in 2013. His only major win at another track came on his final racecourse appearance when he defeated a strong field in the Cigar Mile Handicap at Aqueduct Racetrack. Here in just the initial running of this stakes test, #3 NECK 'NECK comes off "POWER RUN PERFORMANCES" in each of his last five outings, and takes a class drop (-5) this afternoon. I also note than his trainer Ian Wilkes is adding blinkers for the first time today ... as noted on numerous occasions in the past, this subtle equipment change often produced noticeable speed boosts in their first applications. #1 TURCO BRAVO, a Chilean bred entry, has hit the board in "POWER RUN FASHION" in three straight, including a "POWER RUN WIN" facing better company (+3) in his 2nd race back.

#7 FLASHY PATCH (ML=6/1)
#6 OUR GABRIELLE (ML=3/1)


FLASHY PATCH - Rainford is up for another race today after riding on board this equine for the 1st attempt on April 23rd and ought to know the ropes to this one a little better. This filly is very reliable, frequently finishing in the money. The rest of the field may trail this thoroughbred all the way around the track. OUR GABRIELLE - This filly is in exceptional physical condition right now. Ended up first last out and comes back quickly. The jockey and trainer combination have a beneficial ROI when they join forces. The improved speed figs over the last 3 races is solid. De Paulo drops her in this race fit and ready to go.

Vulnerable Contenders: #4 ELGIN (ML=2/1), #1 REBEL WITHA CHANCE (ML=5/2), #2 FOREST PIKE (ML=8/1),

ELGIN - Should have at least hit the board in the last couple months in a short distance event to be any kind of value at short odds in a sprint. REBEL WITHA CHANCE - Should have at least hit the board in the last couple months in a sprint event to be worth it at short odds in a sprint. Would have to get better off that third place finish last time out to make an impact here. FOREST PIKE - Showed very little in the last race. Really don't see any hint of improvement today.

Top HatGUEST COMMENTARY: Hal - OUR GABRIELLE - Analysis shows this filly's last speed number of 84 is as good as any. Don't overlook this filly in your betting.

# 7 EASY LOVER HANOVER 5/2

# 3 CRAFTY MASTER 9/1

# 5 SENIOR MARKET 7/1

EASY LOVER HANOVER most definitely should be supported as the horse to beat in this event. Might be there at a reasonable price tag. Most definitely one to keep in your exotics. Should be considered in this race if only for the very nice TrackMaster SR recorded in the last contest. Very nice driver-trainer, winning 36 percent of the time. Should be supported as a terrific bet. CRAFTY MASTER - Pace figures show this nice horse has what it takes to score in this one. Always tremendous driver-trainer duo. 21 percent winners when they team up. SENIOR MARKET - Looks like a strong selection in this pack and his better than average winning percentage says he has the desire to dominate this time. Hands down the best slot at Flamboro Downs is the 5. The win percent is very good.
