Preview: Rockies at Cardinals
Gracenote
Aug 1, 2018

The Colorado Rockies finished a torrid July on a winning note and look to carry their success into a new month when they visit the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday for the third contest of their four-game series. The Rockies posted a 6-3 victory on Tuesday to finish the month with a 17-6 record, and their .739 winning percentage fell just shy of the franchise mark for any month (.750 in June 2009).

All-Star Charlie Blackmon belted a two-run homer in Tuesday's triumph and is 19-for-55 with three blasts during his 13-game hitting streak. Carlos Gonzalez also launched a two-run shot and has registered three multi-hit performances in his last five games - a stretch during which he has gone 9-for-19 with a homer and four doubles. Matt Carpenter continued his power surge for the Cardinals with his 11th homer of July, which was his seventh leadoff shot of the season and the 22nd of his career. Paul DeJong was hitless in four at-bats on Tuesday and is 0-for-13 with six strikeouts over his last three games.

TV: 8:15 p.m. ET, AT&T SportsNet-Rocky Mountain (Colorado), FS Midwest (St. Louis)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Rockies LH Kyle Freeland (9-6, 3.13 ERA) vs. Cardinals RH Luke Weaver (6-9, 4.70)

Freeland limited Oakland to five hits over six scoreless innings in his last turn as he won his third straight decision. The 25-year-old has settled for no-decisions in each of his last four road outings and is 3-4 with a 3.64 ERA in 12 turns away from home this season. Freeland allowed three runs and eight hits over six innings on May 27, 2017 to lose his lone career start against St. Louis.

Weaver defeated the Chicago Cubs in his last turn as he allowed two runs and eight hits in six innings. The 24-year-old has given up eight runs over his last four starts after being battered by Atlanta for eight - and 10 hits - in 4 2/3 frames. Weaver was roughed up for six runs and seven hits over two innings while losing his lone career start against the Rockies on Sept. 21, 2016.

WALK-OFFS

1. The Cardinals traded OF Tommy Pham and $500,000 in international bonus pool money to Tampa Bay for OF Justin Williams, LHP Genesis Cabrera and RHP Roel Ramirez.

2. Colorado All-Star SS Trevor Story recorded two hits on Tuesday and batted .358 with 11 two-hit efforts in July.

3. St. Louis placed RHP Carlos Martinez (shoulder) on the 10-day disabled list and recalled LHP Tyler Webb and OF Tyler O'Neill from Triple-A Memphis.

PREDICTION: Rockies 8, Cardinals 3

Preview: Brewers at Dodgers
Gracenote
Aug 1, 2018

The Los Angeles Dodgers have scored a total of three runs during their three-game losing streak but hope the newest addition to their infield provides an instant spark. Brian Dozier was acquired from Minnesota prior to Tuesday's non-waiver trade deadline and likely will be in the starting lineup Wednesday as the Dodgers continue their four-game series against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers.

Wade Miley tossed seven superb innings and Christian Yelich extended his hitting streak to 15 games in Tuesday’s 1-0 victory as Milwaukee improved to 5-1 on its eight-game road trip. The Brewers also bolstered their infield Tuesday by making a deal with Baltimore for Jonathan Schoop, who has hit safely in 22 of his last 23 games and brings a 12-game hitting streak to his new team. Milwaukee is tied with the Chicago Cubs atop the National League Central while the Dodgers have dropped five of their last eight to fall one-half game behind first-place Arizona in the NL West. Matt Kemp is hitless in his last 21 at-bats for the Dodgers, who hope to have injured third baseman Justin Turner (groin strain) back in the lineup as soon as Thursday.

TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, MLB Network, FS Wisconsin (Milwaukee), SportsNet LA (Los Angeles)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Brewers RH Chase Anderson (7-7, 3.69 ERA) vs. Dodgers LH Rich Hill (4-4, 3.82)

Anderson recorded his first win in five July starts on Friday after giving up one run over six innings in a 3-1 victory over San Francisco. The 30-year-old Texan has allowed fewer than three runs in seven straight outings. Kemp is 8-for-22 with two home runs against Anderson, who is 1-4 with a 5.36 ERA in 10 career starts versus Los Angeles - including an 0-3 record and 4.15 mark in six outings at Dodger Stadium.

Hill turned in one of his best outings of the season on Thursday, when he scattered three hits over seven scoreless innings in an 8-2 win over Atlanta. “He has a good curveball. His fastball kind of jumps on you a little bit," Atlanta's Charlie Culberson told reporters. “You've got to tip your cap. He threw the ball well and missed our bats.” The 38-year-old owns a 3-1 record and 3.60 ERA in eight career games (seven starts) against the Brewers - including a win in Milwaukee on July 20 in which he gave up one run over six innings.

WALK-OFFS

1. Milwaukee is 17-5 against the NL West this season, including a 3-2 mark versus the Dodgers.

2. The Dodgers acquired John Axford from Toronto for fellow RHP Corey Copping.

3. The Brewers sent RHP Luis Ortiz and INFs Jean Carmona and Jonathan Villar to Baltimore for Schoop.

PREDICTION: Dodgers 6, Brewers 3

Best and worst MLB starting pitchers to bet on in August

Since being traded away from Baltimore, this is the time of year Jake Arrieta is at his best. He might not throw as hard as he used to, but he still knows how to get hitter's out.

With the MLB trading deadline closed, and the NFL preseason whetting our pigskin palates, the month of August sets the table for the stretch run of the baseball season. The question is which pitchers can we count on to satisfy our tastes, and which ones figure to sour our stomachs? Take a look below.

Listed below are hurlers that have enjoyed a two-to-one or better success ratio in team-starts over the course of the last three seasons during the month of August. On the flip side, we've also listed pitchers that struggle in August, winning 33% percent or less of their team-start efforts. To qualify, pitchers must have made a minimum of 10 starts, with at least one start each August over the last three years. And for your convenience alongside each record we break down each pitcher’s greatest success or greatest failure rate either home (H) or away (A) within his good or bad month.

Note: * designates a categorical repeat appearance by this pitcher, maintaining status quo from last season’s August list.

I’ll be back next month with September’s Good Month Pitchers. Until then, make like legendary singer and songwriter Neil Diamond and enjoy the hot August nights.

GOOD MONTH PITCHERS

* Jake Arrieta, Philadelphia Phillies • 15-2 (8-1 A)

Since being traded away from Baltimore, this is the time of year Jake Arrieta is at his best. He might not throw as hard as he used to, but he still knows how to get hitter's out. He, along with Aaron Nola, will keep Philadelphia in the hunt for an NL East title. After giving up 23 homers last year, Arrieta has done a much better job keeping the ball in the yard with just 11 HRs allowed this season.

Bartolo Colon, Texas Rangers • 13-5 (7-2 A)

Though Colon has enjoyed success in August, he was not 45 years old, playing in a small ballpark like Texas and on a bad team. It would be great to see him finish with a flourish, but the fact remains the Rangers are so pitching deficient, they have to depend on the veteran. Amazingly, Colon has played in the majors the same number of years the Braves Ronald Acuna Jr, has been alive (20).

Danny Duffy, Kansas City Royals • 11-5 (7-1 H)

After a slow start, the K.C. lefthander had 2.89 ERA in May and June, But July rolled around and Duffy regressed and his ERA is approaching 5.00 again. His command has been awful, already with a career-high in walks for the season and on pace to match or surpass the 27 home runs he conceded two years ago. With this Royals team I do expect this month to be like those of the past for Duffy.

* Corey Kluber, Cleveland Indians • 14-4 (8-1 H)

The Cleveland right-hander has been very good, but not quite as good as 2014 and 2017 when he won Cy Young's. The biggest reason why is a balky right knee, which has caused him to leave more pitches up than usual and is why he's already very close to a career-high in home runs allowed with two months remaining. Nevertheless, he is still one the best hurlers in baseball and with his experience and the Indians having a mostly favorable slate this month, the winning should continue.

Rick Porcello, Boston Red Sox • 10-3 (6-1 H)

To this point, Rick Porcello's season has been a great deal like previous two. In 2016, Porcello won the Cy Young and was 22-4. Last year, the right-hander was completely the opposite and lost 17 games. This season he's 13-4 and often pitched like he did two seasons ago. But he's also left reminders of how bad he can be with a few incredibly bad performances this year. Expect Porcello to have a fine August, just keep in mind a stinker might also be included.


BAD MONTH PITCHERS

James Shields, Chicago White Sox • 5-12 (2-6 H)

It is really a shame to watch Shields end his career this way. The 36-year is on a team in the midst of rebuilding and at this point of his career he no longer has the needed separation in speed between his pitches to make his once feared change-up effective. Add in he's gone from 3-to-1 K/W ratio to 2-to-1 and it's not hard to imagine he and White Sox will keep losing games.

A 25-Run Outburst

The Washington Nationals released a lot of pent-up frustration in Tuesday's victory against the New York Mets, rolling up a franchise-record 25 runs in a victory. It was also the most lopsided loss in Mets' franchise history, surpassing a 26-7 beatdown from the Philadelphia Phillies back in 1985. Things got so bad for the Mets that SS Jose Reyes came on to pitch for the first time in his career, and he served up two home runs and six runs in his inning of work. These teams will not have a quick turnaround, playing at 12:05 p.m. ET on Wednesday. RHP Noah Syndergaard will be opposed by LHP Tommy Milone. The under is 8-3-1 in Thor's past 12 outings overall, and 4-1 in his past five against the National League East. The over has cashed in five straight at home for the Nats, while going 4-1 in their past five at home vs. RHP. The under is 23-11 in Washington's past 34 following a win, and 35-17 in their past 52 against a righty.

Syndergaard (illness) will be coming back from the 10-day disabled list. He has had his way over the Nats, as the current collection of Washington batters are just 29-for-115 (.252) with one homer, 13 RBI and 31 strikeouts, good for just a .677 OPS. Only INF Anthony Rendon has taken him out of the park, going 8-for-23 (.348) overall with a double, a homer and five RBI. Thor has punched out All-Star Bryce Harper on seven occasions over 21 at-bats, while Harper is good for a double, five singles and two RBI.

Looking Ahead

Wednesday, Aug. 1

The over has been the play for the Blue Jays lately, going 5-1 over their past six games and 4-1 in their past five on the road. RHP Marcus Stroman will take the ball for this day game, but the 'under' is 8-1 in their past nine with Stroman on the hill, including 4-1 over his past five road assignments. The under is also 4-1-1 in his past six on the road against a winning side, and 4-0 in his past four overall against teams with a winning overall record. However, the over is 9-4 in the team's past 13 against a lefty. LHP Sean Manaea is on the hill to the home team, and the under is 8-3 in the lefty's past 11 home assignments. The under is also 4-0 in his past four at home against a team with a losing record, and 4-1 in their past five overall. The over is 6-2-2 in Manaea's past 10 at home against an AL East club, however.

LHP Cole Hamels will make his Cubs debut on the road against the Pirates. The under is 6-2 in Chicago's past eight games overall, while going 5-2 in their past seven against a team with a winning overall record. However, the over is 11-4 in Chicago's past 15 against NL Central foes. The over is also 6-2-1 in Pittsburgh's past seven against a southpaw, while going 4-1 in their past five inside the division. The over is also 4-1 in Nick Kingham's past five starts at PNC Park. In this series, the under has cashed in four of the past five. As far as Hamels is concerned, he was turned up in his most recent start against the A's, as a member of the Texas Rangers, and the over is 3-1-1 in his past five. He has been much more effective on the road, and the under is 5-0-1 in his past six starts away from home.

The Brewers and Dodgers will battle again on Wednesday, and the 'under' has hit in the first two games of the series. The under is also a perfect 5-0 over the past five for L.A., while going 4-1 in their past five at Chavez Ravine. The under is 28-9 in Milwaukee's past 37 games overall, while going 6-0 in Chase Anderson's past six against the NL West and 13-3-1 in his past 17 road outings. The under is 22-8-2 in the past 32 starts overall for C.A., too. However, the over is 9-4 in Milwaukee's past 13 against left-handed starting pitching. As far as L.A. is concerned, the over has hit in five of Rich Hill's past six overall at home, while going 6-1 in his past seven against teams with a winning overall record. The over is also 9-0 in Hill's past nine after recording a quality start in his most recent appearance. The over is 10-3 in Hill's past 13 starts overall, too, but the under is 6-0 in the past six in this series in L.A., and 7-2 in the past nine overall.

Betting On The Wind

The wind is not expected to be a factor in any of the MLB ballparks on Hump Day, blowing at 10 mph or less in each venue.

Thursday, Aug. 2

Angels LHP Andrew Heaney takes the ball against the new-look Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday afternoon. The over has cashed in three of his past four appearances on the road.

Cardinals RHP Miles Mikolas has seen the under connect in seven of his past eight starts at Busch Stadium II, while the over has hit in four of his past five starts overall. In addition, the over is 11-5 in the past 16 overall fort he Cards, and 8-3 in their past 11 vs. RHP. The over is also 8-3 in their past 11 against a winning side, and 5-1 in their past six at home vs. RHP.

It's lefty vs. lefty when Robbie Erlin and Mike Montgomery lock horns at the Friendly Confines. The over is 4-1-1 in San Diego's past six against LHP, and 4-1 in Erlin's past five against a team with a winning overall record. For Chicago, the under is 4-1 in their past five at home against a lefty, while going 5-2 in their past seven overall against southpaws. In addition, the under is 5-1 in Montgomery's past six at home against a team with a losing record, and 4-0 in his past four when working on five days of rest.

The Brewers and Dodgers complete their four-game set with a solid pitching matchup. RHP Jhoulys Chacin and LHP Clayton Kershaw will hook up. The over is a perfect 4-0 in Chacin's past four road outings, and 6-1 in his past seven overall. The over is also 9-4 in Milwaukee's past 13 against left-handed starting pitchers, and 41-18 in their past 59 on the road against southpaws. For the Dodgers, the under is 5-1 in Kershaw's past six working on five days of rest, while the over is 5-2 in his past seven at home. However, the under is 18-8-1 in the past 27 at home against a team with a winning overall mark.

Betting On The Wind

The winds will be kicking at 11-13 mph blowing from home plate to left field at Guaranteed Rate Field for the Royals-White Sox matinee. The wind will also be blowing out from 10-13 mph from home plate to straightaway center field at Citizens Bank Park for the battle between the Marlins and Phillies, so watch the over there.

In D.C., the Reds and Nationals will be battling some raindrops. If they do squeeze the game in, the winds will be howling from 11-14 mph from home plate to the left-center field power alley. The same holds true for the Braves-Mets game, which has a jetstream at 11-14 mph to the left-center field power alley. At Fenway, the winds will blow to straightaway center field from 12-15 mph in the rivalry game between the Yankees and Red Sox.

Friday, Aug. 3

Cubs LHP Jose Quintana takes the ball for the matinee game against the Padres. The under has cashed in three of his past four starts overall. He has been knocked around at home this season, however, posting a 5.02 ERA over 43 innings across eight home starts, serving up seven homers with 21 walks issued.

Marlins RHP Jose Urena will toe the slab against the Phillies at 'The Vault' to kick off a new series. He has a 3-10 record, but a respectable 4.40 ERA this season. The last time he faced the Phillies on July 15 he allowed five earned runs, four hits and four walks in just four innings in a no-decision as the 'over' connected at Marlins Park.

Athletics LHP Bret Anderson will face the Tigers in Friday's battle. He has made eight starts overall this season, but seven of those appearances have come on the road. His only appearance at Oakland Coliseum was a disaster, as he allowed nine runs - seven earned - and 10 hits across just three innings with three walks and no strikeouts against the Astros. He has allowed six or more hits in five os his past seven appearances. Despite the fact he has been so hittable, and his ERA is 5.55 overall on the season, the 'under' is actually 5-1 across his past six appearances, and 7-2 over the past nine.
