Tuesday, September 1[/B]


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Game of the Day: Yankees at Red Sox
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


David Ortiz hit his 495th career home run Monday and will try to move closer to No. 500 Tuesday against the Yankees.


New York Yankees at Boston Red Sox (+111, 9.0)


Reduced to playing spoiler for the remainder of the season, the Boston Red Sox are in the midst of one of their best stretches of the season with their most bitter rival in town. The Red Sox closed out August by winning nine of their last 13 games and look to make it two straight victories over the visiting New York Yankees when the three-game series resumes Tuesday night.


Boston designated hitter David Ortiz is closing in on 500 career homers, needing five to reach the milestone after going 6-for-11 with three blasts over the past four games. Jackie Bradley Jr. collected three more hits in Monday's 4-3 victory and is 26-for-61 with 20 runs scored in his last 19 games to raise his batting average from a feeble .121 to .277. The Yankees remain 1 1/2 games behind first-place Toronto in the American League East after stranding 14 runners Monday while seeing their three-game winning streak halted. Shortstop Didi Gregorius owns five-game hitting and RBI streaks during a torrid stretch in which he is 13-for-21 while homering twice and driving in 11 runs.


TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, MLB Network, YES (New York), NESN (Boston)


LINE HISTORY: The Red Sox have held steady at their opening number of +111. The total has opened at 9.0 runs.


INJURY REPORT:


Yankees - 1B M. Teixeira (questionable Tuesday, leg), LF D. Ackley (15-day DL, back), SP C.C. Sabathia (15-day DL, knee), RP D. Moreno (60-day DL, elbow), SP C. Whitley (60-day DL, elbow).


Red Sox - LF H. Ramirez (questionable Tuesday, shoulder), SP S. Wright (15-day DL, concussion), 2B D. Pedroia (Mid September, hamstring), SP B. Workman (60-day DL, elbow).


WEATHER REPORT: It should be a clear night in Boston, with a slight six mile per hour wind blowing out towards the Green Monster.


UMPIRE REPORT: Ron Kulpa will be the man calling balls and strikes in tonight's contest. Kulpa is one of the better homer umps this season with home teams going 16-8 in his 24 games behind home plate. The over/under is 11-12-1 in those games and he has a strike percentage of 64.88.


PITCHING MATCHUP: Yankees RH Michael Pineda (9-8, 4.19 ERA) vs. Red Sox RH Rick Porcello (6-11, 5.47)


Pineda's struggles continued in his first start coming off the 15-day disabled list, lasting only 4 1/3 innings and giving up five runs on six hits in a 6-2 loss to Houston. Pineda has dropped his last three starts while getting knocked around for 14 runs and has only one win in his last seven turns - at Boston on July 10. He continues to be susceptible to the long ball, permitting at least one homer in four straight outings.


Porcello turned in an outstanding effort in his return from the disabled list, tossing seven scoreless innings of five-hit ball to defeat the Chicago White Sox. It marked only the second win since May 16 for Porcello, who wobbled through a 12-start stretch by going 1-9 before he was placed on the DL. Porcello is 4-3 with a 3.90 ERA against the Yankees, but has been tormented by Jacoby Ellsbury, who is 11-for-17 with four homers.


TRENDS:


* Yankees are 9-3 in the last 12 meetings in Boston.
* Yankees are 8-3 in the last 11 meetings overall.
* Under is 5-2 in the last seven meetings in Boston.
* Under is 5-2 in the last seven meetings overall.


CONSENSUS: The majority of the public is backing the Bronx Bombers, with 68.84 percent of wagers on the Yankees at -120.

September Pitchers Report


August 31, 2015


Like the notches in our belt after a tasty Labor Day barbeque, MLB rosters have expanded to accommodate September, the final month of the season. And as College Football and the NFL crash onto the scene, MLB pitchers take the final spotlight in hopes of leading their teams on to the playoff trail. The question is which ones can we count on and which ones figure to be candidates for offseason Weight Watchers meetings? Check it out.


Listed below are hurlers that have enjoyed a two-to-one or better success ratio in team starts the last three seasons during the month of September. On the flip side, we’ve also listed pitchers that struggle in September team starts, winning 33% percent or less of their efforts. To qualify pitchers must have made a minimum of 10 starts, with at least one start each September over the last three years.


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


GOOD MONTH PITCHERS:


*Bumgarner, Madison - 9-4 (4-1 H)


Might not have the lowest ERA, but enters this month with a 16-6 record, with San Francisco 17-9 in his starts, with a +5.00 unit mark when the big game left-hander takes the ball.


Cueto, Johnny - 9-4 (6-2 H)


Surprisingly, has not been all that effective with Kansas City. No real concerns, but no doubt manager Ned Yost wants to make certain Cueto is straightened out before heading in October.


*Fister, Doug - 11-4 (5-1 H)


For the most part has pitched poorly all season and was moved to the bullpen in August, where he has remained and is likely to stay for the disappointing Nationals.


*Gonzalez, Gio - 11-4 (5-1 H)


If Washington is to have any chance to catch New York, the Nats left-hander has to turn things around in a hurry, after surrendering 14 earned runs in only 12 1/3 innings over past three starts. Allowing hitters to bats .285 against him compared to .238 for career.


*Greinke, Zack - 13-4 (7-2 H)


Still the NL favorite for the Cy Young with a 1.61 ERA, WHIP of 0.85 and foes batting .189 against him. Masterful control a huge key with a 5-to-1 strikeout to walk ratio. Dodgers will need him to win NL West.


*Guthrie, Jeremy - 11-4 (7-1 H)


Having a tough season with an ERA over 5.50 in 23 starts and was moved to the bullpen in late August. The Royals could use another reliable starter for the postseason and are hopeful Guthrie figures it out.


*Hughes, Phil - 10-5 (6-2 A)


Went on DL in mid-August with back injury and the recovery has been slow. Earliest possible return is mid-September and effectiveness will really be a question.


Jimenez, Ubaldo - 9-3 (6-0 H)


You take the good and bad with this right-hander and he finished last month like Baltimore, plummeting. Chances of turnaround seem slim, but Jimenez unpredictable nature makes him 50-50 to duplicate past September's.


*Kennedy, Ian - 12-3 (8-1 H)


Had a 2.30 ERA for the month of August but like Padres, Kennedy remains inconsistent, which has largely been the path of his career.


Kershaw, Clayton - 9-4 (5-2 A)


Teammate Greinke might be having a better year, but Kershaw has an ERA under 1.00 over last 10 starts (think about that). As mentioned with Greinke, Los Angeles needs brilliance from their lefty to continue and win division. Chances are if Kershaw averages 10 K's per start the rest of season, he will be first 300-strikeout pitcher in 13 years.


*Latos, Mat - 8-4 (6-2 H)


Has struggled since donning a Dodger uniform and shows few signs of turning around. Not close to the same pitcher he was San Diego.


*Norris, Bud - 8-4 (5-2 H)


Was released by Baltimore in early August and is pitching out of the bullpen for San Diego.


Price, David - 12-5 (9-3 A)


Been a reliable starter for Toronto and his work ethic and leadership seem to have spread throughout the entire pitching staff. Not as hard a thrower as he used to be, but knows how to pitch and numbers this season are aligned with career figures.


*Scherzer, Max - 11-4 (6-1 H)


After arguably being the best pitcher in the majors the first three months of the season, Scherzer is coming off August in which he had a 6.43 ERA. Washington has no shot unless their ace regains prior form.


*Shields, James - 14-3 (7-1 H)


Shields has been more up and down, leaving pitchers up in the zone which is why home runs are up. Still a good No. 2 or 3 pitcher on any staff and might well finish strong for the Padres.


Zimmermann, Jordan - 14-2 (7-1 H)


Zimmermann, like all the Washington starting pitchers, has to come up monstrous the rest of the season and hope the offense can come through. As stated previously here, his win totals never match what kind of ability he seems to have.


BAD MONTH PITCHERS:


Burnett, A.J. - 5-11 (1-6 H)


Pittsburgh is targeting the Sept. 15-17 series against the Cubs as a potential return date for Burnett (elbow), the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports. The retiring righty was having outstanding year before elbow issues.


Eovaldi, Nate - 5-10 (2-5 A)


Enters August 14-2, but pitched into great luck and run support, sporting a 4.17 ERA and teams hitting .285 against his tosses. Let's see how reacts to pennant pressure this month.


Feldman, Scott - 3-10 (1-5 H)


Has been amazingly effective since rejoining the Astros rotation on July 18th and lowering his ERA over a run (4.93 vs. 3.75). Still allows more than a hit an inning but been solid with runners on base.


Happ, J. A. - 4-8 (1-3 A)


Has done what has been asked of him since being acquired from Seattle by Pittsburgh. His goal: pitch five to six innings, help the Pirates stay in the game and let the rest of the players shape the outcome. Could be lit up any time.


Hellickson, Jeremy - 4-10 (1-5 A)


Went on DL on Aug. 20th with a bad hamstring and there is no clear-cut date for return to Diamondbacks. A typical 9-8 season for Hellickson with ERA over 4.


Porcello, Rick - 4-9 (1-5 A)


Had good outing after coming off DL in late August, but still on track for worst season in big league career, with ERA more than one run higher than past performances.


Sale, Chris - 5-10 (1-7 A)


At times this season, thrown like a taller version of Kershaw and is another hurler with a chance at 300 K's for season. Will look to continue to rise above playing for mediocre White Sox squad.


Samardzija, Jeff - 3-8 (1-5 A)


Has not pitched well since being traded by the Cubs a year ago and probably needs fantastic rest of the year to recoup some of the money he's lost in becoming a free agent after season. Do not like his chances at improvement.


Vogelsong, Ryan 5-10 (2-6 A)


Was pulled from the rotation in July and only back in for San Francisco because of Matt Cain's sore elbow. Starts this month having lasted past five innings in just one start out of past five.


Volquez, Edinson - 5-10 (1-6 A)


Has been more than Kansas City could have hoped for, having a second straight strong campaign. Volquez will try and maintain the status quo and try and be a factor in the playoffs.

[CNOTES]

Contenders make roster upgrades ahead of postseason deadline


The non-waiver trade deadline is July 31 every season, but trades can still happen after that date. They're just slightly more complicated, as my colleague Matt Snyder explained a few weeks ago.


Aug. 31 is a different deadline. Players must be in the organization by 11:59 p.m. ET on Aug. 31 to be eligible for the postseason roster. That's a hard deadline. There are no exceptions. If the player was not in the organization by midnight Monday night, they cannot be on the postseason roster.


So, with that Aug. 31 deadline looming, several contending teams made last minute waiver trades to improve their rosters for the stretch run. It was their last chance to add players and ensure they would be available in October. Here's a look at some of the last minute additions and why they were needed:


OF Marlon Byrd, Alejandro De Aza, Giants: The need here was obvious. Hunter Pence (oblique) and Angel Pagan (knee) are both on the DL, leaving San Francisco very short in the outfield. Byrd, who has three doubles and three home runs in his first nine games with his new team, also adds some right-handed pop to help balance the lineup. They can figure out how all the pieces fit when Pence and Pagan return. They simply couldn't wait any longer given the NL West race. The Giants sent a Double-A reliever to the Reds make this deal happen. Just before midnight, the Giants added Alejandro De Aza from the Red Sox for even more depth.


LHP Neal Cotts, Twins: Cotts has been dominant against left-handed batters this year, holding them to a .172/.232/.322 (51 OPS+) batting line with 24 walks and five strikeouts. He gives manager Paul Molitor a better option for late-inning matchup situations than Brian Duensing and Ryan O'Rourke. The cost? A player to be named later went to the Brewers. That's all. Why wouldn't the Twins or any other team make this move?


OF Jonny Gomes, Royals: The Royals have an enormous lead in the AL Central, so they don't need to worry too much about September. They're looking ahead to October, where they could face the likes of Dallas Keuchel, Scott Kazmir, Cole Hamels, Martin Perez, Derek Holland and David Price. Gomes is a lefty mashing extraordinaire who gives Kansas City another option against tough southpaws. The Royals traded a Single-A infielder who was not among their 30 best prospects to the Braves to get Gomes.


OF Austin Jackson, Cubs: With Jorge Soler on the DL with an oblique problem, the Cubs only have Matt Szczur and Chris Denorfia as right-handed hitting outfielders. Denorfia is a fine platoon bat, as is Jackson, who is capable of playing strong defense in center. The Cubs will see lots of Jaime Garcia, Francisco Lirano, J.A. Happ and Jeff Locke down the stretch. Jackson is added depth. To get him from the Mariners, the Cubs gave up approximately $200,000 in international bonus money and took on $1 million of the $1.5 million or so left on his contract.


RHP Addison Reed, Eric Young Jr., Mets: Things are going quite well for the Mets these days -- and poorly for the Nationals -- but they were still short one right-handed bullpen arm to help get the ball to Jeurys Familia. Reed gives them another power arm alongside Tyler Clippard, one more experienced than Hansel Robles. Another reliever is never a bad idea down the stretch. The Mets sent two pitching prospects to the Diamondbacks, one at Double-A and one at High Class-A.


Young's job is much more specialized: He was acquired to run. That's all. Young will be the team's designated pinch runner in September. In the late innings of close games, he'll come off the bench to replace Lucas Duda or David Wright or Michael Cuddyer or whoever. Young will get the call whenever they need a stolen base or a runner to score from second on a single. Teams are using these specialized pinch runners in September and the postseason more and more with each passing year. All Young cost the Mets was cash in the trade with the Braves.


Among the other players to change teams in August are Chase Utley (Phillies to Dodgers), Will Venable (Padres to Rangers), Cliff Pennington (D-Backs to Blue Jays), Oliver Perez (D-Backs to Astros) and Mike Napoli (Red Sox to Rangers). Every single one was moved in a minor deal designed to help a contender.


It's very rare for a team to add an impact player in August -- the massive Red Sox-Dodgers blockbuster involving Adrian Gonzalez a few years is an extreme exception -- so they instead look for minor upgrades. A spare reliever, an extra platoon bat, a pinch-runner, that sort of stuff. Monday was the final day for teams to make a trade, get that minor upgrade, and make sure the player is eligible for their postseason roster.

Preview: Sun (13-17) at Fever (17-12)


Date: September 01, 2015 7:00 PM EDT

The Indiana Fever appear to be hitting a late-season slump, though they're still very much in position to secure home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.


The Connecticut Sun are in a far more desperate situation as they again try to avoid missing the postseason.


Indiana looks to avoid losing a season-high fourth straight loss Tuesday night against the visiting Sun.


The Fever (17-12) put together a season-best six-game winning streak, but then dropped three in a row for the first time since opening 0-3. They're still just one half-game behind second-place Chicago, but the Sky hold the tiebreaker by virtue of sweeping the four-game season series.


Tamika Catchings had 22 points and 13 rebounds Sunday at Tulsa, but it wasn't enough to overcome 30 points by Odyssey Sims in a 76-70 defeat. Catchings, who recorded her second double-double in three games, was 7 of 10 from the field, but Indiana's four other starters went 13 for 41 and the team shot 38.6 percent.


The Fever were also hurt by free throws, with Tulsa going 17 of 19 from the charity stripe. Giving Connecticut a high amount of opportunities might not prove as costly, though, as the Sun's 73.8 free-throw percentage is the WNBA's worst.


Connecticut (13-17) is on the brink of missing the playoffs for a third straight year for the first time in club history. With four games remaining, the Sun are four games behind fourth-place Washington (16-12). Because Washington leads the season series 3-1, Connecticut is one Mystics victory away from being eliminated from playoff contention.


The Sun staved off elimination Sunday, snapping a seven-game losing streak behind Kelsey Bone's 25 points in a 72-68 victory at Chicago. Bone has scored 47 points in her last two games after previously averaging 14.0 on the season.


Indiana is seeking a season series sweep and sixth straight home victory in the series. Catchings scored 26 points on 9-of-10 shooting in a 92-84 win at Connecticut on June 30.


Bone is averaging 18.3 points on 58.5 percent shooting in the season series.


The Fever lead the league with a 37.0 3-point percentage, while the Sun let opponents shoot 34.8 percent to rank 11th.

Preview: Dream (12-17) at Liberty (20-8)


Date: September 01, 2015 7:00 PM EDT

The New York Liberty boast the WNBA's best record and are three wins away from clinching the Eastern Conference's top seed.


The Atlanta Dream probably need to sweep their final five games to reach the postseason.


The Liberty limited Dream star Angel McCoughtry to a pedestrian effort the last time these teams met and can push Atlanta closer to elimination on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden.


New York (20-8) cruised to two weekend victories, 81-68 over Minnesota on Friday and 80-66 at Connecticut the next night. Tina Charles and Epiphanny Prince combined for 73 points in those games.


The Liberty are headed back to the playoffs for the first time since 2012. They have a one-game lead over the Lynx for the league's best mark and are three-games ahead of second-place Chicago in the East.


Atlanta (12-17) is in last in the conference with its streak of six straight playoff appearances in serious jeopardy. The best the Dream can do is finish at 17-17 and hope that either Indiana loses all of its games or Washington loses its final six.


"We've still got an outside chance of getting into the playoffs," coach Michael Cooper said. "Some magic's going to have to happen."


Cooper did not start McCoughtry on Saturday against Chicago and she responded with 33 points and 11 rebounds but Atlanta's three-game win streak ended with a 98-96 loss. She turned in back-to-back 11-point efforts on 3-of-12 shooting before Saturday.


"Coach's decision, it's things that we're looking at," Cooper said. "We did such a good job without her the last game. Again we can't win without her but it gives the team a good boost to know that we can play competitively when she's on the bench."


McCoughtry averages 20.1 points to rank third in the league but was held to 13 in a 78-67 loss at New York on Aug. 21 after averaging 25.3 points in the first three meetings. The Liberty improved to 3-1 in the season series.


Charles is averaging 19.3 points and 9.5 rebounds against Atlanta and is tied for third in the WNBA with 8.6 rebounds per game.


The Dream are tied for second in the league with 78.2 points per game, averaging 72.0 against the Liberty. New York yields an average of 70.0 points and holds opponents to 38.6 percent shooting - both league bests.

Eagles get attention in Vegas


August 31, 2015


You never want to get too excited about what happens during the NFL preseason, but it’s hard not to be a little giddy about what’s going on with the Philadelpha Eagles, who have won all three of their games by an average score of 38-17.

Yes, it’s preseason, but the Philly offense is clicking no matter who is throwing the ball, and its been quite impressive. Both Sam Bradford and Mark Sanchez have been super stars at quarterback combining for six TDs and no picks. The offense has averaged 429 yards per game, 150 of them on the ground.


While most sports books and oddsmakers don’t adjust their power ratings too rapidly due to what happened in preseason games, the Eagles have become an exception.


The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook has dropped the Eagles odds to win the Super Bowl from 12/1 last week down to 8/1 on Monday due to a combination of bets taken and air moves.

“We’ve made by far the best biggest power ratings adjustment on the Eagles out of all the teams in preseason,” said SuperBook assistant manager Jeff Sherman.


“We’ve cut their future prices and made an adjustment in their opener at Atlanta to (Eagles) minus-3 even.”

In mid-July, the Eagles were a pick ‘em in that game.

The Westgate staff also adjusted their NFL games of the year with the Sept. 20 home date against the Cowboys where Philly is now -3.5 after being -2.5 in July. That’s a big leap over the key number of ‘3’ in a divisional game and is the equivalent of about 2 points.


Current Eagles point-spreads at Westgate Game of the Year Odds:


Sept. 13: Eagles -3 (+100) at Falcons
Sept. 20: Cowboys at Eagles -3.5
Oct. 11: Saints at Eagles -5.5
Oct. 25: Giants at Eagles -6.5
Nov. 8: Eagles at Cowboys -3 (+100)
Nov. 26: Eagles -1 at Lions
Dec. 26: Redskins at Eagles -8.5
Jan. 3: Eagles -3 at Giants

In July, the Eagles season win total at the Westgate was 9.5 UNDER -130, but between OVER wagers and adjusting on air, the Eagles are now 9.5 OVER -150.

“They’re a popular team right now with bettors in future play and individual games,” Sherman said. “They’re a fun team to watch. This fast pace is the style people like.”

Nick Bogdanovich over at William Hill says the small bettors have been hitting the Eagles hard during the preseason with the popular parlay of EAGLES and OVER.


“They’ve been doing very well,” Bogdanovich said of the bettors who have gone 3-0 with a 13-to-5 parlay in the first three preseason games.

Part of the appeal of this Eagles squad, besides blowing teams out, is the no-nonsense approach by head coach Chip Kelly and Sherman says he’s been watching Kelly closely since shaking things up in his first two years with Philly.

“He’s taken a lot of criticism the past two years for doing things his way and getting the people he wants on his team, but I think we’re starting to see the effect of his overall plan now.”

They were going have to a tough time replacing DeSean Jackson. No problem for Chip. They may even regret letting Jeremy Maclin, LeSean McCoy and Nick Foles leave, but there is no signs of that regret in preseason so far as it appears everyone is buying into Chip Kelly’s system, even the sports books.

Only the Seahawks (9/2), Packers (6/1), and Colts (7/1) have lower Super Bowl odds than the Eagles at the Westgate. Dallas, who is listed as 11/10 co-favorite with Philadelphia to win the NFC East, is 14/1 to win the Super Bowl.

It’s only preseason, but if the sports books are taking serious notice of the Eagles in these meaningless games, the bettors should as well. And it’s not just the offense that is impressing, it’s their defense as well. Preseason or not, they did a pretty good job against the decent playoff offenses of Indianapolis, Baltimore and Green Bay albiet no Aaron Rodgers.

Whether it’s Bradford staying healthy or Sanchez eventually piloting the ship, you wouldn’t be going out on a limb saying Philly will be at least 10-6 this season which has been their record the past two seasons.

LATEST NFL NEWS


Ravens place S Matt Elam (biceps) on injured reserve
by Elliott Smith | Staff Writer
(10:14 am ET) The Ravens announced Tuesday they have placed four players on the season-ending injury reserve list, including safety Matt Elam, per a team release.
Elam tore his bicep on the first day the team put on pads in camp, so his designation to the injury list is not a surprise.


In addition to Elam, cornerback Chris Greenwood, linebacker Steve Means and tight end Allen Reisner are sidelined for the season.


Report: Seahawks to sign ex-Bills RB Fred Jackson
by Elliott Smith | Staff Writer
(9:35 am ET) One day after surprisingly being released by the Bills, veteran running back Fred Jackson is headed to the Seahawks, where he will serve as Marshawn Lynch's primary backup, per NFL.com insider Ian Rapoport.
Lynch and Jackson are old friends, and his addition in Seattle's backfield gives the Seahawks a solid pass-catcher and experienced presence, seemingly spelling the end of Christine Michael's time with the team.


Report: Patriots acquire WR Jalen Saunders from Saints
by Elliott Smith | Staff Writer
(9:22 am ET) The Patriots made a deal Tuesday, reportedly trading for wide receiver and return specialist Jalen Saunders in return for a conditional draft pick, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Saunders was drafted by the Jets last season, but played on the practice squads of the Cardinals and Seahawks before joining the Saints. He had lost his return job to Marcus Murphy in the preseason.


Eagles LB Kiko Alonso dealing with knee issue
by Sean d'Oliveira | CBSSports.com
(8/31/2015) Eagles linebacker Kiko Alonso said he has been bothered by a nagging knee issue, which flared up before Saturday's preseason game, reports Philly.com.
Alonso was able to practice Monday, but coach Chip Kelly was unsure if he would play in Thursday's final preseason game.


"He's looked sharp in practice, but games and practice are a little bit different," Kelly said. "We'll see where he is. But we're hopeful to get him back out there [in games]."


Report: Raiders waive Kenbrell Thompkins
by Sean d'Oliveira | CBSSports.com
(8/31/2015) The Raiders parted ways with wide receiver Kenbrell Thompkins on Monday, a source told NBCSports.com. Thompkins caught six passes for 53 yards in two games last season.


Cowboys remove Rolando McClain from PUP list
by Sean d'Oliveira | CBSSports.com
(8/31/2015) The Cowboys removed linebacker Rolando McClain from the physically unable to perform (PUP) list on Monday, reports The Dallas Morning News.
McClain is recovering from offseason knee surgery, but must serve a four-game suspension before returning in the regular season.


Report: Raiders part ways with running back Trent Richardson

"I think we're just being careful, cautious with it," Cruz said, per ESPN.com. "Calves are tricky. Once they feel healed and once they feel OK, you can go out here and mess it up again. So you want to make sure that it's fully healed and fully recovered once you step back out there on the field.


"Not that I haven't been able to [jog] but they don't want me to right now. They just want me to sit down and let it heal, let it repair itself and things like that."

Lefties dominating Marlins in recent contests

The Miami Marlins are just 3-12 in their last 15 games against left-handed pitching.

Miami faces another southpaw in Manuel Banuelos of the Atlanta Braves Tuesday. Justin Nicolino is slated to counter for the Fish.

Sportsbooks are presently offering Giancarlo Stanton and company in the -104 ballpark.


Indians go for seventh win in a row

It may be a little too late, but the Cleveland Indians are heating up and are going for their seventh consecutive win Tuesday night when they visit the Toronto Blue Jays.

The Tribe's streak has been fueled by a resurgent offense that has seen them outscore their opponents 41-16 during the six-game winning streak.

Cleveland faces long odds once again against the hot Blue Jays, currently listed at +181 road dogs and send Cody Anderson (2-3, 4.30 ERA) to the mound, while the Jays counter with Marco Estrada (11-8, 3.19 ERA).

O's look to end skid


September 1, 2015




TAMPA BAY RAYS (65-66) at BALTIMORE ORIOLES (63-68)


First pitch: Tuesday, 7:05 p.m. ET
Sportsbook.ag Line: Tampa Bay +115, Baltimore -125, Total: 8


The Orioles will be looking to prevent a six-game losing streak when they host the Rays Tuesday evening.


The Rays went into Baltimore on Monday and came away with a 6-3 victory behind a dominant performance on the mound by RHP Chris Archer. The Tampa Bay ace struck out six batters and didn’t allow a run in six innings of work and led his team to its third win in the past five games. The Orioles, meanwhile, have now lost five straight games and 11 of their past 12. This team was widely expected to be at the top of the AL East but has really disappointed and will now be looking to just turn things around in order to enter next season on a positive note.


On the mound for the Rays in this one will be LHP Drew Smyly (1-2, 3.81 ERA, 32 K) and he’ll be trying to outduel RHP Chris Tillman (9-9, 4.31 ERA, 92 K) on Tuesday. These two teams have split victories in 14 meetings this season, but the Rays are now 5-3 when they play in Baltimore on the year. They are also 15-12 against the Orioles in Baltimore over the past three seasons. Favoring Tampa Bay is the fact that the Orioles are just 22-33 against the money line in the second half of the season this year. Baltimore is, however, 35-17 against the money line when the total is 7 to 8.5 when Tillman is on the mound over the past two seasons.


OF Desmond Jennings (Knee), C Curt Casali (Hamstring) and OF Steven Souza (Hand) are on the DL for the Rays and J.J. Hardy (Groin) will be out until at least September for the Orioles.


The Rays are coming off of a victory and they’ll now send Drew Smyly out to the mound against an Orioles team that has really struggled to get anything going lately. Smyly has allowed just three earned runs over his past two starts, but the problem is that he has pitched just 9.3 innings total in those games. He has not been able to work his way late into games and the Rays can really use some more out of him moving forward. He should continue to get better as he gets healthier. 2B Logan Forsythe (.281, 15 HRs, 53 RBIs) comes into this game on a roll, going 5-for-8 over his past two games. He also has four multi-hit performances in his past 10 games. He’ll need to continue to get on base for this Rays team.


3B Evan Longoria (.267, 15 HRs, 58 RBIs) will be eager for this matchup with Chris Tillman. He has given the Baltimore starter nightmares in the past, going 16-for-43 with six homers and nine RBIs against him in his career. He also homered against the Orioles on Monday night. SS Asdrubal Cabrera (.262, 10 HRs, 39 RBIs) also left the yard last game with a two-run homer and he’ll be an x-factor against the Orioles on Tuesday. Cabrera is just 4-for-17 against Tillman in his career, but he does have a double and four RBIs in those meetings.


Chris Tillman has not pitched as well as he would have liked this season, but he’ll be excited to get on the mound in an effort to end his team’s struggles on Tuesday. Tillman has allowed nine earned runs in his past 19.2 innings on the mound. The Orioles, however, have lost the past two times he has pitched. He’ll be looking to change that against a Rays team that he pitched very well against in their most recent meeting, allowing just one earned run in 7.0 winnings of work. Baltimore did, however lose that game 3-1, so the team will need to give him some more run support on Tuesday.


This Orioles’ lineup has struggled against Drew Smyly, going a combined 8-for-57 against the pitcher in the past. 1B Chris Davis (.249, 35 HRs, 92 RBIs) is the only guy who has had some success against him, going 2-for-11 with two homers and two RBIs in the matchup. He has, however, been struck out six times in those at-bats. OF Adam Jones (.279, 24 HRs, 67 RBIs) has been slumping lately, going just 4-for-25 in his past six contests. His batting average has dropped from .285 to .279 in that time and he’ll need to start hitting if this team is going to start winning games again.
