Mariners at Indians – 7:05 PM EST

Probable Pitchers:
SEA: Young (9-6, 3.04 ERA)
CLE: McAllister (3-6, 5.65 ERA)

Series recap: These two clubs have split the first two games of this set after Cleveland blanked Seattle on Wednesday, 2-0 in a pitcher’s duel between Corey Kluber and Felix Hernandez. Kluber tossed a complete-game shutout to cash as a short favorite, one night after the Mariners knocked around the Indians in a 5-2 triumph on Tuesday.

What to watch for: Seattle continues to be an ‘under’ machine, drilling the ‘under’ in nine consecutive games. The M’s own an impressive record off a road loss since May, posting a 10-2 mark in this situation. The Indians have responded well in home series finales the last two months, putting together a 7-1 record. Cleveland has struggled with McAllister on the mound this season, losing seven of his past nine starts.

Angels at Orioles – 7:05 PM EST

Probable Pitchers:
LAA: Skaggs (5-5, 4.49 ERA)
BAL: Norris (8-7, 3.94 ERA)

Advertisement
Series recap: The Orioles go for the sweep tonight after holding off the Angels in a pair of one-run victories. Following Tuesday’s walk-off win in extra innings, Baltimore edged Los Angeles on Wednesday, 4-3 as +125 underdogs. The O’s built a 4-0 lead before the Angels rallied to cut the deficit to one run, but Baltimore held on for its fourth win in five tries against Los Angeles this season.

What to watch for: Baltimore’s pitching is cruising lately, allowing three runs or less seven times in the last nine games, resulting in eight ‘unders.’ After going nearly six weeks without a win when Skaggs takes the mound, the Angels are 3-0 in the southpaw’s last three starts. The Orioles have hit six straight ‘unders’ when Norris starts, while Baltimore is 5-2 in his past seven trips to the hill.

Reds at Marlins – 7:10 PM EST

Probable Pitchers:
CIN: Cueto (11-6, 2.08 ERA)
MIA: Koehler (7-7, 3.91 ERA)

Previous series recap: The Reds continue to fall backwards in the NL Central race after losing two of three to the Diamondbacks at home. Cincinnati dropped a 5-4 decision to Arizona on Wednesday, as the four runs scored by the Reds were the most they have plated since the All-Star break. The Marlins couldn’t pull off the home sweep of the Nationals, losing on Wednesday 4-3 to snap a six-game winning streak.

What to watch for: This is the first meeting between these teams this season, as Cincinnati put together a 6-1 record against Miami in 2013. The Reds ended a nine-game ‘under’ streak with Wednesday’s ‘over’ against Arizona in which Cincinnati scored three runs in the ninth inning to bust the total of 7. Cincinnati has lost nine consecutive road games, but the club is 7-2 in Cueto’s past nine starts. Koehler is making his first home start since July 2, as Miami is 1-4 in his last five outings at Marlins Park.

Pirates at Diamondbacks – 9:40 PM EST

Probable Pitchers:
PIT: Locke (2-2, 3.54 ERA)
ARZ: Collmenter (8-5, 4.03 ERA)

Previous series recap: The Pirates continue their venture through the NL West after grabbing two of three from the Giants at AT&T Park. Pittsburgh fell to San Francisco in the series finale on Wednesday, 7-5 as a short underdog, snapping a three-game winning streak. The Diamondbacks return home following a 3-3 road trip at Philadelphia and Cincinnati in which Arizona alternated wins and losses during the six-game stretch, capped off by Wednesday’s one-run triumph over the Reds.

What to watch for: Pittsburgh beat Arizona two of three times at PNC Park earlier this month, which included a 3-2 walk-off victory as Pittsburgh scored each of its three runs in the ninth inning to capture the series opener. Locke took the mound in that contest, tossing eight innings while receiving a no-decision. Arizona owns a 5-1 record in Collmenter’s past six starts, which includes a pair of solid performances in home wins over the Cubs and Marlins.

Braves at Dodgers – 10:10 PM EST

Probable Pitchers:
ATL: Teheran (10-6, 2.71 ERA)
LAD: Kershaw (12-2, 1.76 ERA)

Series recap: The Dodgers remain hot following last night’s walk-off victory in 10 innings, 3-2 as a -170 favorite. Los Angeles is riding a five-game winning streak, while improving to 4-0 in its past four home matchups with Atlanta dating back to last season’s NLDS.

What to watch for: Kershaw has been unbeatable in the last two months, as the Dodgers are 10-0 in his past 10 trips to the mound, while tossing at least seven innings in eight consecutive appearances. The Braves have stumbled to a 3-6 record in their past nine road contests, but Atlanta has put together a solid 6-2 record in its last eight series finales.

Carlos Gonzalez, Colorado - Ques Thurs

Gonzalez is dealing with soreness in his right ankle and left knee which caused him to miss Wednesday's game. He is questionable for Thursday against the Cubs.


Chris Davis, Baltimore - Ques Thurs

Davis is dealing with an illness and has missed the last two games. He is questionable for Thursday against the Angels.


Favorable weather conditions for Tigers Thursday

Weather forecasts are calling for wind to blow in from right field at Comerica Park as the Detroit Tigers host the Chicago White Sox Thursday afternoon.

The Tigers have posted a straight-up record of 10-3 when wind blows in from right field at Comerica this season. The Over/Under count in similar conditions is 7-4-2 on the season.

Detroit is a big -192 home fave with a total of 9 posted for this matchup. John Danks gets the start for the visitors while Drew Smyly is slated to start for the Tigers.

Umpire trend you should know for Thursday

Road teams have cashed in for bettors with Adam Hamari calling balls and strikes lately, posting a record of 11-1 when he's working the plate.

Hamari is one of the top road umps in the big leagues so far this season. Of the umpires with at least 10 games working the dish, Hamari ranks fourth in terms of road team winning percentage (68.4 percent).

He'll be calling balls and strikes in Kansas City as the Royals host the Minnesota Twins Thursday evening. The Twins are currently +166 road dogs in the matchup.


Over a hot bet with Arrieta pitching at Wrigley

The Over is 4-0 in Chicago Cubs pitcher Jake Arrieta's last four starts in the friendly confines of Wrigley Field.

Recent starts at Wrigley (versus Miami, Cincinnati, Atlanta and St. Louis) all resulted in Overs, but Arrieta has pitched fairly well in those outings. In those four starts, the righty has allowed just seven earned runs in 26 2/3 innings of work.

Arrieta is scheduled to get the start for the Cubbies as they host the Colorado Rockies Thursday afternoon. Pedro Hernandez is slated to get the ball for the Rockies.

Pitching Notes

* Johnny Cueto will start for the Reds on Thursday and has been locked in this month. The Reds ace is 3-1 for the month in five starts with four out of five unders during that span, allowing no more than three earned runs in each July appearance.

* Clayton Kershaw starts on Thursday at home against the Dodgers and will be looking to continue his historic summer where every one of his starts has been a must see appearance. Kershaw is 9-0 in his last ten starts, dropping a July 20 start in St. Louis against the Cardinals as his only blemish.


Hitting Notes

* Baltimore will be hoping that slugger Manny Machado has more heroics in store during the O's pivotal series with the Los Angeles Angels. Machado kept Baltimore ahead of the Blue Jays by 2.5 games in the AL East race with a walkoff home run in the bottom of the 12th inning. Machado is 4-10 with four RBI in his last two games.

* New York Yankees pickup Chase Headley has been on fire since coming to the pinstripes. The .239 hitter has a hit in every game since July 24, including three RBI's as his addition has helped keep New York from falling too far behind the Jays and Orioles.

Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Random thoughts frm a tired traveler....

13) Lady gets off an airplane in the Las Vegas airport Wednesday, runs to the slot machines, I mean she sprinted, yelling to her husband, "Darrell!!! Look!!!", like she had never seen slot machines before. Hope Darrell brought a lot of $$ on the trip.

12) A trusting soul reserved a spot in Corcoran's Pub in the airport by putting his wallet on the table, then going to the bar to order a drink. No one touched it, but a couple of people asked about it.

11) Grant Hill gave Duke a $1.25M gift, a million of which went to the athletic department; who doesn't have an extra $1.25M laying around?

10) If you look at all the starting pitchers in baseball history who threw 20+ innings in a World Series, the #4 ERA (0.87) belongs to Babe Ruth.

9) Memo to Oakland: Tommy Milone is better than Jason Hammel, I don't care who they traded to get Hammel, he's been awful for the A's.

8) Red Sox traded lefty pitcher Felix Doubrant to the Cubs, in a deadline deal by two last-place teams. Boston probably figures it is addition by subtraction.

7) It is now politicially fashionable to bash the "Redskins" nickname, very safe, since no one has the onions to come out and say the nickname should stay. There is no way everyone thinks the name is offensive-- I don't think it is. Why does the team in Cleveland get to keep "Indians"? Is that any different?

6) I don't like pickles; never have, probably never will. They're awful. Couple of Burger Kings near my house closed, so had my first meal there in a while in the Las Vegas airport-- too damn many pickles on their fish sandwich. Had to pick 'em off.

5) ESPN will televise the Under-17 world hoop championships starting August 8, which shoiuld be good stuff-- see the future college stars playing.

4) There is something disturbing about sitting down to watch a pitcher on your fantasy team pitch, and realizing the home plate ump is CB Bucknor; no bueno.

3) Orioles shut down pitching prosepct Hunter Harvey (elbow) for the season; there are over 30 pitchers on the DL this season, after having Tommy John surgery.

2) Wonder how many people pass thru the Las Vegas airport on an average day? Very efficient operation, from luggage to rental cars.

1) A friend of mine's daughter went to Israel this summer on an archaeolgical dig for her college studies and is now stuck there, as the morons continue to bomb each other until no one is left alive. If they want to kill each other, well go right ahead, but leave the innocent people alone. Am praying for the young lady's safe trip home.
