Tips and Trends
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boston Red Sox at Tampa Bay Rays [ESPN | 7:10 PM ET]

Red Sox: After an awful performance in his first game back from the DL, Daisuke Matsuzaka rebounded in his next outing against the Astros, pitching five scoreless innings. Dice-K has been a stud on the road this season, going a perfect 4-0 with a stellar 2.20 ERA in six starts. However, he's struggled against the Rays. Matsuzaka is just 1-3 in five starts versus Tampa.

The UNDER is 3-0-1 in Dice-K's last four starts on the road.
Red Sox are 3-9 in their last 12 games as an underdog.

Key Injuries - OF Coco Crisp (.270; suspension) is OUT until July 3.

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

Rays (-150, O/U 8): Scott Kazmir was close to unhittable in his first eight starts of the year but he's come back to earth a little bit in his two most recent outings. In his last 10.2 innings of work, Kazmir has allowed seven runs. He gave up a total of eight runs in his prior eight starts. Kazmir lost his last outing at home but still possesses a remarkable 1.24 ERA at Tropicana Field. In 18 career starts against Boston, Kazmir is 6-6 with a solid 2.82 ERA. The UNDER is 5-1 in Kazmir's six home starts this season.

Rays are 27-7 in their last 34 games on turf.
The UNDER is 11-4-1 in Tampa Bay's last 16 home games.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD



Cleveland Indians at Chicago White Sox [8:11 PM ET]

Indians: After a terrible start to the season, C.C. Sabathia is beginning to heat up. He's 3-0 with one no-decision in his last four starts, with the Tribe coming out victorious in all four of those games. In his last 32 innings of work, Sabathia has allowed just four runs. Sabathia was on the losing end earlier this season against the White Sox but he pitched well, allowing just two runs over seven innings. That kind of performance wasn't a surprise seeing that C.C. is 14-4 with a 3.61 ERA in 25 career starts versus the Palehose. The UNDER is 7-3 the last 10 times Sabathia has taken the hill.

Key Injuries - C Victor Martinez (.278; elbow surgery) is out 6-8 weeks.

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

White Sox (-110, O/U 8): Jose Contreras saw a personal three game slide come to an end his last time out against the Cubs. Contreras picked up the win after holding the high-powered Cubs offense to three runs over six innings. Contreras has experienced success against the Indians over the years, going 5-2 with a strong 3.14 ERA in 11 career starts. He beat the Tribe earlier this season, allowing just one run in six innings of work. The OVER is 3-1 in Contreras' last four starts.

Key Injuries - 1B Paul Konerko (.215; oblique) is on the 15-day DL.

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD



New York Mets at St. Louis Cardinals [8:15 PM ET]

Mets: Pedro Martinez is still trying to regain the form that made him one of the most feared pitchers in baseball. So far this season, the only people who fear Pedro are Mets fans every time he takes the mound. In his last two starts, Martinez has been blasted for 15 hits and 12 runs in just 10 innings of work. Pedro has allowed four runs or more in four of his six starts this season. In 10 career starts versus the Cardinals, Martinez is 4-4 with a 3.27 ERA.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

Cardinals (-115, O/U 9): The last time Joel Pineiro recorded a win the NFL was in the middle of its draft back on April 29. The Cardinals have lost six straight with Pineiro on the mound but he hasn't pitched awful every time out. There is some good news for St. Louis backers tonight. Even though Pineiro has only won twice in his last 10 starts, he's actually allowed three runs or less seven times over that stretch. The UNDER is 4-1 in Pineiro's last five starts.

Key Injuries - SS Cesar Izturis (.241; hamstring) is on the 15-day DL.

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD



Chicago Cubs at San Francisco Giants [10:15 PM ET]

Cubs (-135, O/U 8): Ryan Dempster lost his first game in over a month his last time out against the White Sox. Dempster lasted just 2.1 innings after being battered for eight runs on seven hits, in what was by far his worst outing of the season. The Giants catch a break tonight because Dempster is much more effective at Wrigley Field than on the road where he's 0-3 with a 4.19 ERA. Also, Dempster is just 2-6 in his career versus the Giants.

Cubs are 5-1 in the last 6 meetings.
The UNDER is 8-3-1 in Marquis' last 12 road starts.

Key Injuries - 3B Aramis Ramirez (.289; personal) is OUT 2 more games.
OF Reed Johnson (.271; back) is on the 15-day DL.
OF Alfonso Soriano (.283; broken hand) is on the 15-day DL.

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

Giants: You'll have to excuse Giants fans if they are a little uneasy tonight. That's because Kevin Correia has started eight games for San Fran this year and the Giants have lost seven of them. Correia is actually coming off a solid performance versus Oakland where he allowed just one run over five innings. You can expect the Giants bullpen to play a large role tonight. Correia has gone past six innings just once this season.

Giants are 8-20 in their last 28 home games.
Giants are 2-6 in Cain's last 8 Tuesday starts.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

Boston Red Sox at Tampa Bay Rays [ESPN | 7:10 PM ET]

Red Sox: After an awful performance in his first game back from the DL, Daisuke Matsuzaka rebounded in his next outing against the Astros, pitching five scoreless innings. Dice-K has been a stud on the road this season, going a perfect 4-0 with a stellar 2.20 ERA in six starts. However, he's struggled against the Rays. Matsuzaka is just 1-3 in five starts versus Tampa.

The UNDER is 3-0-1 in Dice-K's last four starts on the road.
Red Sox are 3-9 in their last 12 games as an underdog.

Key Injuries - OF Coco Crisp (.270; suspension) is OUT until July 3.

PROJECTED SCORE: 3

Rays (-150, O/U 8): Scott Kazmir was close to unhittable in his first eight starts of the year but he's come back to earth a little bit in his two most recent outings. In his last 10.2 innings of work, Kazmir has allowed seven runs. He gave up a total of eight runs in his prior eight starts. Kazmir lost his last outing at home but still possesses a remarkable 1.24 ERA at Tropicana Field. In 18 career starts against Boston, Kazmir is 6-6 with a solid 2.82 ERA. The UNDER is 5-1 in Kazmir's six home starts this season.

Rays are 27-7 in their last 34 games on turf.
The UNDER is 11-4-1 in Tampa Bay's last 16 home games.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 5



Cleveland Indians at Chicago White Sox [8:11 PM ET]

Indians: After a terrible start to the season, C.C. Sabathia is beginning to heat up. He's 3-0 with one no-decision in his last four starts, with the Tribe coming out victorious in all four of those games. In his last 32 innings of work, Sabathia has allowed just four runs. Sabathia was on the losing end earlier this season against the White Sox but he pitched well, allowing just two runs over seven innings. That kind of performance wasn't a surprise seeing that C.C. is 14-4 with a 3.61 ERA in 25 career starts versus the Palehose. The UNDER is 7-3 the last 10 times Sabathia has taken the hill.

Indians are 8-22 in their last 30 games as an underdog.
The UNDER is 7-2 in Cleveland's last 9 games overall.

Key Injuries - C Victor Martinez (.278; elbow surgery) is out 6-8 weeks.

PROJECTED SCORE: 2 (UNDER - Total Play of the Day)

White Sox (-115, O/U 8): Jose Contreras saw a personal three game slide come to an end his last time out against the Cubs. Contreras picked up the win after holding the high-powered Cubs offense to three runs over six innings. Contreras has experienced success against the Indians over the years, going 5-2 with a strong 3.14 ERA in 11 career starts. He beat the Tribe earlier this season, allowing just one run in six innings of work. The OVER is 3-1 in Contreras' last four starts.

White Sox are 8-1 in the last 9 meetings.
The OVER is 6-2 in Chicago's last 8 home games.

PROJECTED SCORE: 4



New York Mets at St. Louis Cardinals [8:15 PM ET]

Mets: Pedro Martinez is still trying to regain the form that made him one of the most feared pitchers in baseball. So far this season, the only people who fear Pedro are Mets fans every time he takes the mound. In his last two starts, Martinez has been blasted for 15 hits and 12 runs in just 10 innings of work. Pedro has allowed four runs or more in four of his six starts this season. In 10 career starts versus the Cardinals, Martinez is 4-4 with a 3.27 ERA.

Mets are 5-12 in Martinez's last 17 road starts.
The OVER is 9-4-4 in New York's last 17 games following a win.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 3

Cardinals (-115, O/U 9): The last time Joel Pineiro recorded a win the NFL was in the middle of its draft back on April 29. The Cardinals have lost six straight with Pineiro on the mound but he hasn't pitched awful every time out. There is some good news for St. Louis backers tonight. Even though Pineiro has only won twice in his last 10 starts, he's actually allowed three runs or less seven times over that stretch. The UNDER is 4-1 in Pineiro's last five starts.

Cardinals are 10-4 in their last 14 Wednesday games.
The OVER is 9-4-1 in St. Louis' last 14 games as a favorite.

Key Injuries - SS Cesar Izturis (.241; hamstring) is on the 15-day DL.

PROJECTED SCORE: 6 (Side Play of the Day)



Chicago Cubs at San Francisco Giants [10:15 PM ET]

Cubs (-135, O/U 8): Ryan Dempster lost his first game in over a month his last time out against the White Sox. Dempster lasted just 2.1 innings after being battered for eight runs on seven hits, in what was by far his worst outing of the season. The Giants catch a break tonight because Dempster is much more effective at Wrigley Field than on the road where he's 0-3 with a 4.19 ERA. Also, Dempster is just 2-6 in his career versus the Giants.

Cubs are 5-1 in the last 6 meetings.
The UNDER is 8-3-1 in Marquis' last 12 road starts.

Key Injuries - 3B Aramis Ramirez (.289; personal) is OUT 2 more games.
OF Reed Johnson (.271; back) is on the 15-day DL.
OF Alfonso Soriano (.283; broken hand) is on the 15-day DL.

PROJECTED SCORE: 5

Giants: You'll have to excuse Giants fans if they are a little uneasy tonight. That's because Kevin Correia has started eight games for San Fran this year and the Giants have lost seven of them. Correia is actually coming off a solid performance versus Oakland where he allowed just one run over five innings. You can expect the Giants bullpen to play a large role tonight. Correia has gone past six innings just once this season.

Giants are 8-20 in their last 28 home games.
Giants are 2-6 in Cain's last 8 Tuesday starts.

Key Injuries - NONE
