San Francisco begins its Bay Bridge Series with area rival Oakland on
Monday, but the Giants first have to finish off their series with the
Phillies on Sunday. Johnny Cueto goes for his 12th victory on the season
when he takes the mound, as the San Francisco right-hander has won
eight straight decisions. The Giants have won 12 of their past 14 games
but were tripped up by the Phillies last night, 3-2. San Francisco owns a
solid 7-1 record in its past eight home series finales, while beating
Philadelphia in six of the last seven tries at home.
Coldest team: Angels (0-6 last six)
Los Angeles took two of three at Oakland last weekend, but the Angels
have gone backwards since that series victory. The Halos were swept at
Houston, which included a pair of one-run losses, then dropped the first
three games of their home series with the A’s. Hector Santiago
continues to have an up-and-down campaign for the Angels, as Los Angeles
has gone 5-5 in his last 10 trips to the mound. The Angels are 4-0 in
Santiago’s previous four home starts against Oakland since the start of
last season, while A’s right-hander is 0-3 in his last three starts
against Los Angeles.

Houston goes for the sweep of Kansas City on Sunday, as Fister is
unbeaten in his last 10 starts. The right-hander has delivered five
consecutive quality starts, allowing six earned runs in this stretch,
which includes road underdog victories against the Angels, Rangers, and
Cardinals. Fister lost earlier this season to the Royals at home, giving
up six earned runs, the most he has allowed this season. The Astros own
a 6-2 record in eight starts away from Minute Maid Park, while tossing
at least six innings in each of the past seven road outings.
Coldest pitcher: Drew Smyly, Rays (2-7, 4.78 ERA)
Tampa Bay has been one of the coldest teams in baseball recently, while
Smyly is winless in his past six trips to the mound. The Rays’ southpaw
has allowed at least four earned runs in four of his last five starts,
while the ‘over’ has hit four times in this span. Smyly beat the Orioles
twice last season, but hasn’t faced them yet this season. Baltimore has
won three straight home games against left-handed starting pitchers,
while the Orioles have won 12 of their past 15 games overall at Camden
Yards.

Seattle’s offense has hit the skids recently, scoring four runs or less
in six of the past seven games. The Mariners posted one run through
eight innings in Friday’s contest against the Cardinals, but Adam Lind’s
three-run walk-off blast provided Seattle a 4-3 victory even though the
game finished ‘under’ the total of 8. The M’s are 5-3 to the ‘under’ in
the previous eight contests at Safeco Field, while two of James
Paxton’s past three starts overall have finished ‘under’ the total as he
takes the mound in Sunday’s finale against St. Louis.
Biggest OVER run: Rockies (5-0 last five)
Colorado has played three high-scoring games with Arizona at Coors
Field, capped off by an 11-6 victory on Saturday. The two NL West rivals
have combined for 13, 19, and 17 runs in this series, while five of the
six meetings at Coors Field this season have finished ‘over’ the total.
The Rockies are 3-1 to the ‘over’ in the last four home starts made by
Chad Bettis, while two of his three starts made against Arizona this
season have gone ‘over’ the total.

Pittsburgh put together a series to forget against San Francisco earlier
this week, losing three of four games. However, the Pirates have
bounced back against the Dodgers by winning each of the first two
matchups at PNC Park to creep within three games of the .500 mark.
Beating the Dodgers for a third straight time won’t be easy as the
Pirates have to get through Cy Young favorite Clayton Kershaw on Sunday
night. Kershaw is unbeaten in his last 10 trips to the mound, while the
Dodgers own a perfect 7-0 record in his seven starts away from Los
Angeles. However, Kershaw was winless in a pair of starts against the
Pirates last season.
Betcha didn’t know: The Cubs look to avoid their second straight
series defeat after dropping two of the first three meetings with the
Marlins. Jose Fernandez had his six-game home winning streak snapped in a
no-decision against the Braves his last time out, an extra innings loss
as a -265 favorite. The Marlins are 27-3 in Fernandez’s past 30 starts
at Marlins Park since June 2013, but the right-hander is facing the Cubs
for the first time in his career.
Biggest public favorite: Giants (-250) vs. Phillies
Biggest public underdog: Royals (+115) vs. Astros
Biggest line move: Twins (+200 to +190) at Yankees
