Wednesday's streaking and slumping starting pitchers

STREAKING

Yovani Gallardo, Milwaukee Brewers (12-8, 3.67)

Gallardo pitched seven innings of one-run ball Friday, scattering four hits during a convincing victory versus Philadelphia. He now has four consecutive quality starts, picking up the win in all four with a 1.88 ERA and 26:8 K:BB ratio in 28 2/3 frames. The righty takes on the Cubs on Wednesday.

Kris Medlen, Atlanta Braves (4-1, 2.03)

Medlen tossed a five-hit shutout to earn his fourth win of the season Thursday. The right-hander has allowed just three runs in 25 2/3 innings with a 22:4 K:BB ratio since joining the starting rotation. He has a tough road start in Washington next time out.

SLUMPING

Anibal Sanchez, Detroit Tigers (6-10, 4.52)

Sanchez has struggled since joining the Tigers, posting a 7.97 ERA in four starts. The former Marlin has spent the past week with Tigers pitching coach Jeff Jones to help work on his pitch location and keeping the ball low. He toes the rubber at home against the Blue Jays next.

Jered Weaver, Los Angeles Angels (15-3, 2.74)

Weaver got lit up Friday, surrendering a career-worst nine runs on eight hits to the Rays in a 12-3 defeat. The righty has suffered back-to-back losses for the first time this season and now must face his demons at Fenway Park. Weaver is 1-3 with a 7.16 ERA in 32 2/3 career innings pitched in Boston.

The staff at Covers.com is just simply telling their audience which starting pitcher of the day is hot, and which one is cold, that't it.

Dear staff of covers.com, My sincere request to you is to drop this article or change it to something else like pitching report. This information is based on the pitchers last 2 or 3 games. Ideally if a pitcher is streaking, he is due to regress or vice-versa. Here are the streaking pitchers end up on the losing side for the last two days. Paul Maholm and David Price (awesome) on Tuesday, Miguel Gonzalez and Freddy Garcia on Monday. Excuse me If I am wrong, just a thought for improvement.

Play On: NY Yankees w/Pettitte vs Moore

Note: The Yankees and Rays open a key four-game division series in New York Thursday evening where Andy Pettitte matches serves with Matt Moore in a battle of left-handers at Yankee Stadium.  Pettitte takes the mound knowing he is 11-6 in his home career team starts against Tampa Bay and 8-2 in his last ten team starts during the month of June. 

With Moore in horrible current form with a 13.90 ERA his last three starts, including 11 walks and 11 strikeouts in that span, look for the Pinstripes to come up big here tonight.  We recommend a 1-unit play on the Yankees.  Thank you and good luck as always.   

Marc concludes a sensational red-hot run in the NBA playoffs (16-2 last eighteen selections) with his winning key play inside Thursday's Game Seven championship finale, an Over/Under total you won't want to miss.  Go out a winner with this 100% ATS beauty - you'll be glad you did!
