Golden Gate - Race #10 - Post: 5:15pm - Maiden Claiming - 6.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $9,000 Class Rating: 71

Rating: Golden DollarGolden DollarGolden DollarGolden Dollar

#5 SPOT SPECIAL (ML=8/1)
#6 KHLOE RAE (ML=8/1)


SPOT SPECIAL - The return on investment when Herrera and Wong get together is out of sight. KHLOE RAE - Entered last at Golden Gate in a race with a class rating of 76. Dropping a significant amount in Equibase class figure this time around puts her in a solid position right here. The 67 most recent race speed rating looks mighty good on paper. After the contest aboard this animal on May 3rd, the jockey is going to be in touch with the filly much better. Maiden is changing over to the main track, and may not have liked the turf last out. Has a good chance to break maiden. Recent Equibase speed figs show dominant pattern of improvement.

Vulnerable Contenders: #7 HALO INDYGO (ML=7/2), #1 SHEZGETTIN'ERDONE (ML=4/1), #3 REDNECK GIRL (ML=9/2),

HALO INDYGO - The speed figure last out doesn't fit very well in this race when I look at the class figure of today's affair. Mark this horse as a possibly overvalued contestant. SHEZGETTIN'ERDONE - This filly hasn't been showing me anything positive in the last couple of races. REDNECK GIRL - Improbable that the rating she recorded on May 16th will be enough in this affair.

The Ogden Phipps Stakes

8½ FURLONGS DIRT GRADE I FILLIES AND MARES FOUR YEARS OLD AND UPWARD STAKES $1,000,000.00 PURSE

#4 UNTAPABLE
#2 WEDDING TOAST
#1 ROSALIND
#5 PRINCESS VIOLET

Well folks ... The renamed Ogden Phipps Handicap was run for the first time on Saturday, June 22, 2002. Phipps was a well-known philanthropist, sportsman, thoroughbred owner and breeder, and the former chairman of the family-owned Bessemer Securities Corporation. He was a member and past chairman of The Jockey Club and a trustee emeritus of the New York Racing Association. He was actively involved with Thoroughbred racing for approximately 70 years and campaigned homebred stakes winners such as Buckpasser, Easy Goer and the undefeated Personal Ensign. He passed away at age 93 on April 22, 2002, after a short illness. This race was previously run 33 times as the Hempstead Handicap (1961-2001). Here in the 47 running of the Hempsted/Phipps, #4 UNTAPABLE has won an impressive 8 of 12 in her career to date racing at, or about, today's distance of 8½ furlongs on the dirt, and has hit the board in "POWER RUN FASHION" in four straight, including a trio of "POWER RUN WINS" being embedded in this recent streak of racing consistency. Jockey John Velazquez has been in his irons on 3 previous occasions, hitting the board in each, winning twice, and is back this afternoon for his 4th ride, gunning for a "Hat Trick Win."

DRF

Race 9 - $20,000 Guaranteed Pick Four Pool

Best Bet (22 - 34 / $83.40): DUPAGE’S Z TAM (1st)

Spot Play: CAMTURO ROCK (11th)


Race 1

In a field with few contenders, (5) DUPAGE‘S Z TAM should be ready for a big effort against weaker. (6) ENGINE ONE O ONE is a well bred pacer that makes his third start back off a long layoff and just needs to mind his manners for a shot late. (7) MUFFMASTER would need more to hit the top spot; use underneath.

Race 2

(7) SVAYA KNOWS gets sent out for a capable trainer and is taking a big drop in competition; driver’s choice. (3) FOX VALLEY ANDY has the ability to pace a big mile but will need a good setup. (5) CAMWISER will offer low value; use caution.

Race 3

(4) TIME OUTA JAIL has an excellent winning percentage at the track and should offer a nice price going up against a heavy favorite. (6) HUDSON JESSE wasn’t as good last out as a few starts prior but is a threat. (7) JUSTICE JET was gunned down late last week and will have to go another big trip first up.

Race 4

(2) ROCKNROLL CRYSTAL won for fun last start and looks to have more to offer. (4) MISSIANA faces a suspect bunch with a much better starting post; threat. (1) NITTY GRITTY just missed at this level last out but is 0-for the year; command a price.

Race 5

(2) RUSSELL L should be sharper in his second start back off a long layoff. (1) NANCYS SKYSCAPE just missed at this level last out and should be closer turning for home. (5) HOLY MCMOSES has two wins in his last 73 starts, but is capable of hitting the ticket underneath.

Race 6

(5) IN OVER MY HEAD will look to make it three straight wins to kick off the year. (6) FORT SILKY changed tactics last out, exploding home for the win. The pacer might try the same strategy again this week. (3) BEST MAN HANNOVER will be right there with an aggressive drive.

Race 7

(8) MASTER OF EXCUSES was completely empty last out and will look to rebound with a better effort. (6) RED SOLO CUP has lacked pop late, being out-kicked in his last three; well bred trotter is capable. (2) BI POLAR ROSE faces older more seasoned competition; use underneath.

Race 8

In a wide open and evenly matched race, (9) SIR MAMMO has question marks but can handle this field when right. (1) GOLD STAR IMAGE has been improving in his last few; threat. (3) GIFTED BY NATURE will look to make it three straight wins; versatile.

Race 9

(5) JUST BY DESIGN owns some back class and will be firing with a purpose early. (6) LOVE THIS PLACE finally woke up after long time racing evenly. If the pacer races like her last start it probably gets the job done. (3) MR LELAND’S FILLY has the most upside in the field, but has not come back to her freshman form; command a price.

Race 10

(4) SOUTHWIND SCORPION should offer a better price after a dull effort in the slop. If the pacer can duplicate his effort from two back he’s the horse to beat. (9) SUNSET DREAMER got a lackluster effort out of the driver last start, gapping the field then pulling first over stalling the outer flow. That said, the pacer is good enough against this bunch with a smooth trip. (3) EVERGREENSDUNESIDE has some upside and appears to be getting better with every start.

Race 11

(4) CAMTURO ROCK has been facing stiff competition in Indiana. The well bred pacer should find this spot much softer. (3) FEELNLIKEAROCKSTAR has been tremendous in his last two; threat. (1) UNCLE BUD has been racing gamely and gets the best post.

Race 12

(3) LUCKY CRUSADER raced terrible in the slop last out but should be better on a fast track. (5) GIBBS is just now back in racing shape after a long layoff and has shown a big closing kick with a good setup. (1) COLE HEAT paced a very good mile last week and should be primed for a good effort third start back.

SPOT PLAYS: 5 - 26 / $45.60

Best Bet: SOLAR SISTER (8th)

Spot Play: DANCIN CAROLL (6th)

Race 1

(2) DOMEDOMEDOME went another huge first-over trip last week, this time parked the route and still got up to win. She steps up but may be able to take these in her current sharp form. (10) MUSCLE BABY DOLL has come back in great form this year and tried vainly to chase down a very sharp winner last week. She is the best of this lot, but with bigger fish to fry it’s hard to predict the trip starting from out there. (1) MEADOW SEELSTER shakes one of the best local sophomore trotting fillies and should be heard from the inside post.

Race 2

(3) SPLIT THE HOUSE makes his final tune-up for the North America Cup here and it’s hard to see him losing. That being said, at likely off odds of 1/9, he will be unbettable in the win pool. (6) TEAM CAPTAIN would have won last week had he steered straight down the lane. He has a lot of talent but continues to race greenly often. (1) SOUTHWIND INDY had trouble tracking cover in a rapid mile at London, but should be coming late here for a share.

Race 3

(3) MAGIC MADNESS continues to improve – using a 27 4/5 third quarter to put her opponents away last out – and may get it done at a square price here in her sharp current form. (4) JETPEDIA is the obvious one to knock off after an easy sophomore debut win at 1/9 last week. (9) PLATOON SEELSTER started the season in an OSS Gold over the London oval and raced well to be second considering his long first-over trip that day. He’s dangerous.

Race 4

(3) ASLAN returns to a 7-day rotation and moves inside. His typical 27 flat final 1/4 gets it done vs. these if he is in close enough range at the 3/4 pole. (7) MR DENNIS drops back to a class where he has been competitive and likely gets sent hard early by Drury here. (5) CALGARY SEELSTER didn’t show a thing from the 10-hole vs. Better, now drops back to the same level he won at two back; using.

Race 5

(3) ONEISALONELYNUMBER ships in off a new life’s mark where he showed improved late speed. He stacks up well here. (9) PIERCE HANOVER has started the year off with two impressive first-over wins and also fired a lifetime best mile last out. He’s the one to knock off. (2) MAXDADDY BLUE CHIP has displayed wicked speed in both starts to date and could be any kind; keep on your pick 4 tickets.

Race 6

(8) DANCIN CAROLL raced well here last year, winning an OSS Gold Final and finishing 2nd in the Shes A Great Lady consolation. She’s had two perfect tighteners and should have plenty of early speed to chase. (3) MS MAC N CHEESE raced the best mile of her career in defeat last week and will be formidable here. (4) MAPLELEA has been in great form for a long time, but missing a month’s action likely compromises her win chances here.

Race 7

(7) ELLIS PARK had his late kick extinguished by a ridiculously slow 2nd quarter in the top class last week. Missing a check allows him to drop into a class he should dominate. (5) MELMERBY BEACH was given an easy trip last week following a miscue two back. It’s feasible that tonight he could return to the form that saw him win easily in 1:49 3/5 on May 16. (4) PUSH BACK drops out of the Preferred and should be prominent throughout from close range.

Race 8

(6) SOLAR SISTER has been lights-out this season and her win in the SBOA Final is by far the best mile on this program page. Beat her to greet the cashier. (7) LOVELY ERIN is 6 for 7 lifetime and has been making her own trips with an aggressive racing style. These are tougher - especially the choice - but this one will be heard from. (5) TESSA SEELSTER was a predictable winner last week off an impossible trip two back. She can get a good share here.

Race 9

(10) GO DADDY GO looked as good as a racehorse could both during warm-ups and winning his sophomore debut mile at London last week. He certainly doesn’t need to win this, but he’ll be hard to hold off with a reasonable trip. (2) ALLBEEF N NOBULL has consistently shown excellent speed both early and late in his miles, which is the mark of a very good racehorse; he’s dangerous. (3) ROCKIN IN HEAVEN has shown rapid improvement this season and more could be forthcoming; beware.

Race 10

(3) SHAMBALLA was thwarted by a slow second 1/4 last week, but was visibly motoring home late. That was off a 4-week break and he should be even better here, perhaps making an early move; top call. (6) THREE OF CLUBS paced a monster mile at Tioga pressing some serious splits. He’s a big threat here. (5) DUC DORLEANS showed little from an outer post vs. many of the best in the division in the Molson Pace. He can be much closer here.

Race 11

(5) MITTCENT VAN GOGH ended up jammed up fifth over in a 29-second third 1/4 last week and was rallying strongly at the end of the mile. He is capable of an upset here with a reasonable trip. (6) BOB BEN AND JOHN was a game 2nd to an impressive winner in the OSS Gold at London last week and will likely be a big favorite here vs. NW3L foes. (3) MOONWRITER rallied well to be a distant 2nd to one of the best in the division also in a London OSS Gold. He’s dangerous here.

Race 12



(3) SING FOR ME GEORGE gets class relief for his third start of the year and should have plenty of early pace to chase down; top call. (1) CARACCI HANOVER is another that should benefit from the expected heated early pace scenario and will be a big price; using. (10) NIRVANA SEELSTER is in terrific form and should be in the mix whether he leaves out or takes back early. (8) THUNDER STEELER carved out some big fractions then tired late. His form has been improving, but there is other speed to both sides of him to deal with here. (2) REGAL SON moves inside where he is likely to grab a share from closer range.

CHAMPIONSHIP MEET STATS: 39 - 127 / $168.10 BEST BETS: 5 - 9 / $14.50

Best Bet: LONG LIVE ROCK (4th)

Spot Play: OLDE TIME HOCKEY (5th)

Race 1

(8) DRAGON LORE had a tough trip last time and really has been used pretty hard in both recent starts. This field came up very light and I expect a big mile. (4) LITTLE GOLD RING comes off a solid second-place finish a week ago; clear player. (2) KINGS BARNS blew them away at Yonkers on Monday. He seems like a fit with this group.

Race 2

(9) K-LEES SHAKENBAKE charged home from too far back versus better and had to settle for third. The outside post hurts here, but if he can get a reasonable trip, watch out! (2) STEADY PULSE looked like a sure winner but couldn’t fend off the game leader last time. He’s a big threat once again tonight. (1) SOMEWHERE FANCY gets a ton of class relief, but really doesn’t show anything that makes you think he’ll be worth the possible shorter price he’ll offer.

Race 3

(4) GURAL HANOVER was aired out in his recent qualifier like he was on a mission to put up a big mile. In this short field he could get away from them. (2) SHAKE IT CERRY got back on track at Tioga and is clearly the main danger. (5) DATSYUK raced okay in his 4-year-old debut and could show improvement.

Race 4

(10) LONG LIVE ROCK raced well in his return to the Meadowlands a week ago. Trainer Jeff Dauplaise actually gets out of the bike this week and reaches for Scott Zeron to drive. That should tell you he wants a win. (8) MARTINI HANOVER has been disappointing in recent weeks while racing in spots where you’d think he would win. Chris Ryder trainee is capable of stepping up. (4) ELECTRIC OUI won at this level two starts back.

Race 5

(7) OLDE TIME HOCKEY raced evenly last Saturday in his first start since November. Five-year-old faces a mostly suspect group and figures to pick up his game with the start under his belt. (2) ROCKAHOLIC was a winner when last seen in the Michael Russo barn and did have a tough trip most recently. (1) MY TEMUDJIN N tends to pace at the same speed every week and that would get him in the mix tonight. (10) EXPENSIVE TOY shows multiple wins over the track and gets Gingras in the bike; not impossible.

Race 6

(4) ROCKEYED OPTIMIST didn’t miss a beat in leg one of this series despite missing two months of action. For me, he is the clear favorite despite the tough competition. (1) JK ENDOFANERA won his only start of the year and his qualifier a week ago was sharp; main danger. (2) LUCK BE WITHYOU is clearly in form and could step up with a big mile at any time.

Race 7

(4) ODDS ON EQUULEUS is far from one of my favorite horses to bet, but this looks like one of those spots where he is going to be sitting pretty second-over and able to pounce after a very fast pace. (6) DOCTOR BUTCH has proven himself over and over in this class. He’s fast and dangerous. (3) ART HISTORY wins every week, but this is a huge jump in class. If he beats this group, he’ll earn it. (5) DAPPER DUDE hasn’t missed the board in some time and will be part of the early scrum.

Race 8

(1) DOO WOP HANOVER comes off a track record performance at Tioga and really looks like he could be a top older pacer in 2015. (5) ALL BETS OFF battled most of the mile in the Molson and finished a game second. He deserves respect. (3) SOMEWHERE IN L A qualified back well enough and does add Gingras. That said, I’m going to watch one and wait until next time.

Race 9

(7) MAXI BON has been showing some late pace while stuck in outside posts on smaller ovals. This looks like the week he picks up his first win of the year. (4) ACCOUNT ROLLOVER has early speed and adds Tetrick. (1) ANDWIN HANOVER moves to an inside post and figures to be handled aggressively.

Race 10

(3) WINDSONG GORGEOUS should get a clear shot at the front and sit close to the pace without getting parked like in recent starts. This is a tough race and I’m looking to this guy for a price. (6) ALLSTAR LEGEND doesn’t always finish off his miles but tends to get a big piece of the exotics pie. (8) MISTER VIRGIN changes hands after a game try on the engine. (7) MISTER TRUTH is off a sub-1:50 win. (5) JK PATRIOT will need a career best mile to win, but it is not impossible.

Race 11

(5) FATHER PATRICK looks like the best trotter currently racing in North America right now. (3) JL CRUZE chased home the top choice in a recent qualifier and might be doing the same again on Saturday. (4) OPULENT YANKEE has never finished worse than second in 15 start this year.

Race 12

(7) THE BRUISER came up with a victory in this class last week and faces a rather dull group. (8) NORTHERN PRIZE overcame post time last Friday and is an obvious threat. (1) KEEPING OPTIMISTIC had a long trip last time and is capable of stepping up with a smooth journey.

Race 13

(4) STORMIN RUSTLER couldn’t get the job done from post 10 but should enjoy this improved post. (5) SAWBUCK comes off a nice victory with Zeron in the bike. (8) GRATIAS DEO drops back down in claiming price and could certainly win. (7) CROCADILE CANYON has been racing okay of late. Barn change could perk him up.

MLB June Pitchers Report
By Marc Lawrence

May flowers bring June showers, or so the saying goes. For Major League Baseball pitchers toeing the slab during the month of June, showers are hopefully not in their immediate plans. Instead, it’s the hope of all MLB starting pitchers to stay around long enough to avoid having to clean up early.

Listed below are hurlers that have enjoyed a two-to-one or better success ratio in team-starts over the course of the last three seasons during the month of June. On the flip side, we've also listed pitchers that struggle in June, winning 33% percent or less of their team-start efforts. To qualify pitchers must have made a minimum of 10 starts, with at least one start each June over the last three years. And for your convenience alongside each record we break down each pitcher’s greatest success or greatest failure rate either home (H) or away (A) within his good or bad month.

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

GOOD MONTH PITCHERS:

*Burnett, A.J. - 8-4 (5-2 A)

It is hard to pitch much better than Burnett has in his announced last season of his career with a 1.81 ERA and WHIP 1.16, both of which would be career lows. The right-hander has been very hard on left-handed hitters who are batting just .200 against him.

*Colon, Bartolo - 11-4 (6-1 H)

The ageless Colon just keeps rolling along. His 7-3 record is better than he’s actually pitched thru May with an ERA approaching five. At 42 years old he’s not tricky, throwing over 70 percent fastballs. He just keeps winning games and typically does so in June.

Cueto, Johnny - 9-4 (6-1 H)

The Cincinnati ace has been on the DL with elbow inflammation and is 3-4 with 3.03 ERA thus far in 2015. When right, Cueto has three what scouts call “plus pitches”, including a darting fastball in the mid-90’s. He commands all his pitches and creates deception by turning his back to hitters.

*Dickey, R. A. - 11-5 (7-3 A)

Another pitcher who has reached the 40-year threshold is the Toronto knuckleballer, who also is having a tougher time with a 5.77 ERA as this month commences. His undoing is runners in scoring position, with opposing batters hitting .286. Let’s see if history repeats itself for Dickey this month.

Kershaw, Clayton - 11-5 (6-2 H)

Not having typical Kershaw year to this point with fastball command the reason opponents are hitting .242 vs. career average of .210. However, still four months are eft in the season and few would think the best pitcher in baseball the last few years will not once again get in a groove where he becomes untouchable.

Lohse, Kyle - 11-5 (6-1 H)

The Milwaukee righty’s season has mirrored the Brewers. A horrible April start (1-4, 7.28 ERA), modest improvement the first 20 days of May (lowered ERA to 5.53) and pounded again to finish the month (ERA back up to 6.50). Lohse is terrible thus far at Miller Park with 7.31 ERA and hopes to come close to past results might have to do it on the road this time.

*Scherzer, Max - 10-5 (5-2 H)

Been everything Washington could have hoped for with puny 1.51 ERA, a WHIP of 0.88 and better than 8-to-1 strikeout to walk ratio. RH batters are a feeble .172 against his pitches and the leadoff batters in an inning are at .130 BA. Once he gets rolling, by the fifth inning he’s like a caged lion prowling around the mound.

*Zimmermann, Jordan - 12-4 (7-2 H)

If you think the Nationals are set up to have a good month in June, check out Zimmermann’s record and the guy above. The 29-year old right-hander is the perfect No. 2 starter who throws quality strikes in the mid 90’s, a tightly spun curve, slider with late bite and a ‘plus’ change. Good luck against Washington this month!


BAD MONTH PITCHERS:

Eovaldi, Nate - 3-12 (1-6 H)

Eovaldi has more ability than his record shows overall and this month in particular. Has 96 to 100 MPH heater, but it does not always have a lot of movement and his secondary pitches are not consistent enough which is why he’s never approached a strikeout per inning. The Dodgers and Miami both gave up on him though he’s still only 25.

Lincecum, Tim - 5-10 (1-7 A)

Lincecum’s weak record in June primarily has been the last few seasons, not so much in his Cy Young years. No longer capable of upper 90’s fastball, he went back to work in the off-season with his father who helped him become who he was and the results the first two months have been positive. Whether Tiny Tim has good or bad month will revolve on having his command back.

*Nolasco, Ricky - 5-10 (2-5 A)

If you compare Nolasco’s key peripheral numbers this season to date versus last year, they are very close with an ERA over 5 and being smacked around for a .315 BA, yet he’s 5-1 compared to 6-12 in 2014. He can be thankful for the Twins offense making him better than he is, but don’t worry, this joy ride will end soon.

Peavy, Jake - 2-11 (0-8 A)

Peavy’s lower back recovery suffered a setback on May 29th when it flared up during minor league injury rehab outing and he will be evaluated again to see the next step with no time table for his return, which is probably good based on June results.

Samardzija, Jeff - 5-12 (2-6 H)

The former Notre Dame pass-catcher has an ERA of 3.84 to begin the third month of the season, which is more typical of his numbers before last year. He’s been neither good in away games (.296 BA allowed), nor during the day (.286 BA allowed). And when there been a lone runner on third base, the opposing batter is five for 10, a cool .500.

Stults, Eric - 3-10 (1-6 A)

After a 1-5 record with a 5.85 ERA with Atlanta, Stults was demoted and a thrown in on the Juan Uribe for Alberto Callaspo trade. He was immediately designated for assignment by the Dodgers and frankly why anyone would want this 35-year old hurler, even if he is left-handed, in unimaginable. (Though we think somebody will pick him up.)

MLB June Risers and Sliders
By Joe Nelson

June often proves to be a critical month on the MLB schedule as teams want to be in contention by the All-Star break or risk management making moves to play for next season. Here are two teams that could see fortunes turn upward in the coming month and two teams that could take a bit of slide after solid starts to the season.

Rising - Oakland Athletics

Oakland will enter the first weekend of June at 10 games below .500 and firmly in last place in the AL West, but sitting with a positive run differential and a 3-15 record in one-run games and a 0-6 record in extra-innings. Oakland is just 11-18 vs. division rivals this season with Houston and Seattle doing particular damage to the Athletics. The June schedule will feature a heavy dose of the Rangers and Angels as Oakland with a bit of a surge in late May and early June going could be a team that continues to pick up ground in the standings.

Through June 3, Oakland actually owns better season run differential than three of the four teams ahead of them in the AL West standings and Oakland’s ugly 9-17 record at home is likely to see a change in direction in the coming weeks. Oakland has scored 4.2 runs per game this season while posting nearly nine hits per game and this is not a lineup that strikes out at a high rate, fanning only 6.6 times per game on average.

The starting rotation for Oakland looks promising moving forward with Sonny Gray entrenched in the leading role and posting some of the best numbers in the AL. Scott Kazmir remains a bit of a wild card with some inconsistency and injury concerns, but Jesse Hahn and Jesse Chavez have been reliable for Oakland with very solid starting efforts in recent weeks. After struggling in April, Kendall Graveman has also pitched well in his second stint with the Athletics and could hold down a rotation spot moving forward.

The biggest difference for Oakland has been the bullpen which still holds some of the worst numbers in baseball with a 4.70 ERA with eight blown saves and 13 losses. Over the last 10 games, the Oakland bullpen owns a 2.73 ERA and Tyler Clippard is posting sharp numbers since moving into the closing role. Sean Doolittle and Edward Mujica could add depth to the bullpen by the end of the month coming back from injuries and odds are the Athletics will see an improvement in the lopsided record in close games.

Rising - Colorado Rockies

The Rockies will have a home-heavy schedule in June and a lot of games vs. losing teams like Miami, Milwaukee, and Arizona as this could be a month where Colorado climbs back to respectability in the NL West. The Rockies started the season 4-0 and put together a slight winning month of April. It was a disastrous May with Colorado losing the first nine games of the month as part of an 11-game losing streak. Colorado did rally back to win seven of the final eight games of the month and then had an encouraging split with the Dodgers to start the month of June.

The Rockies are 11-5 vs. the NL East and NL Central teams as most of the problems have come inside the division including going 4-9 vs. the Dodgers and 2-5 vs. the Padres. The Dodgers certainly look like one of the top teams and baseball and the good news for the Rockies is that they won’t face Los Angeles again until September. Difficult scheduling circumstances certainly played a role for the struggles in early May with three postponed home games and another one-run loss in a shortened six-inning game. With summer weather on the way, scoring seems to be going up at Coors Field and the Rockies should start to have more success.

Pitching is always going to be a challenge for Colorado and the results across the board are poor for the Rockies pitching staff. The starting pitching has shown some signs of life with Kyle Kendrick and Jordan Lyles producing a bit more consistent results in recent weeks. Jorge De La Rosa is also candidate to find more success working his way back from starting the season on the DL and the early returns from Chad Bettis, David Hale, and Chris Rusin have been encouraging filling in the rotation. Colorado has held down the 9th inning well since John Axford took over the closing role as he is 10 for 10 in save opportunities while the rest of the bullpen had gone 6 for 14 in save situations.

The offense will be the key for Colorado and over the last 22 games, Colorado has scored nearly 5.3 runs per game, posting at least four runs in 18 of those 22 games. In 13 of the last 15 games, Colorado has produced at least nine hits with an average of nearly 3.2 extra-base hits per game and a big reduction in strikeouts. Even with some rough patches this season, the Rockies are only four games below .500 at this point in the season and if Corey Dickerson and Justin Morneau can return to the lineup in the coming weeks, this will be a formidable team that will often catch favorable pricing due to the marginal starting pitching.

Sliding - Kansas City Royals

The Royals were almost universally projected to decline in 2015 after an incredible 2014 season which brought Kansas City to Game 7 of the World Series. Through 50 games, the Royals are 30-20 and sitting with one of the top records in baseball, but after starting the season 11-3, the Royals have been barely been playing above .500 since. June could be a challenging month for Kansas City with a road heavy schedule that includes stops in Minneapolis, St. Louis, Seattle, and Houston.

The offense for the Royals has been on a steady decline since the red hot start, scoring just 3.9 runs per game since May 1 despite a season average of 4.6 runs per game. The Royals are the worst team in baseball at taking walks and while the hit production has been great for the season, there has been a steady decline in the past few weeks for Kansas City on offense across the board.

The Royals have an elite bullpen with a 1.85 ERA that leads baseball although Kansas City has blown seven save opportunities this season. The big issue for the Royals has been starting pitching where the results have mostly been very poor. Jeremy Guthrie owns an average Game Score of 41.7 this season for one of the worst marks in the AL and Danny Duffy has already been removed from the rotation. It seems unlikely that Chris Young will be able to keep up his great start to the season and in Jason Vargas and Edinson Volquez, slightly above average numbers is the best the team can really hope for.

Yordano Ventura has not looked ready to lead the staff, showing great immaturity early in the season and his results simply haven’t been good enough as the loss of James Shields as a steady force on top of the rotation could loom large as the season goes on. Kansas City has featured some of the worst starting pitching in baseball this season and few teams that wind up in first place can make that claim. The Royals have benefitted from going 18-8 at home so far this season, but the June road trips may take a toll and the AL Central has been a much tougher division top to bottom than anyone expected this season as the Royals could start to sink back to the pack.

Sliding - Atlanta Braves

The Braves have held their own this season with a 26-27 record to stay right in the NL East race as the Nationals have not been able to pull away as everyone expected. The Braves took an aggressive approach at the plate early in the season for some surprising success, but the strikeout counts have been rising for Atlanta and this is a team that does not produce a great deal of extra-base hits. Atlanta owns a solidly negative run differential on the season despite the near .500 record and it seems unlikely that the Braves will hang in the division race all season.

Atlanta is 1-5 vs. the Nationals, 2-4 vs. the Mets and they have six games each with the top two contenders in the division in the next month. They also have two series with Pittsburgh and the great pitching for the Pirates plus challenging matchups with San Diego and Boston for a very tough month on the schedule, particularly in terms of facing quality opposing pitching.

The starting pitching for the Braves has been much better than most expected even with opening day starter Julio Teheran mostly struggling. Shelby Miller has been brilliant this season in his first year with Atlanta, but time will tell if he can complete a full season with that success and his last two starts have displayed some concerns. Alex Wood has pitched well enough to hold down a spot in the rotation, but the rest of the staff remains a question mark moving forward. Rookies Mike Foltynewicz and Williams Perez have both pitched well in limited starting efforts, but both young right-handers lack much of a track record to suggest it will be sustainable all summer.

The Braves traded steady left-hander Eric Stults in late May to put more pressure on the youngsters in the rotation and Atlanta has featured the absolute worst bullpen ERA in all of baseball, currently at 4.81. Atlanta has 11 losses in the bullpen and nine blown saves. Jason Grilli has adequately replaced Craig Kimbrel, but the bridge to Grilli has often been rocky. With the terrible bullpen, it's remarkable that Atlanta is only 9-10 in one-run games this season and just 1-1 in extra-innings games, records that seem likely to get worse with the June schedule ahead.

'Runs at a Premium'

When Texas visits Kansas City Friday evening the clubs will be looking to continue a solid trend for 'Under' gamblers. In the Rangers and Royals last 16 meetings the 'Under' has been the right choice 11 times with 3 'Over', 2 'Push' including 6-0 'Under' when squaring off at Kauffman Stadium. Chi Chi Gonzalez will making his second Major League start for Texas. The righthander pitching 5 2/3 scoreless innings in his debut keeps the score low against a Royals' offense that has gone dormant scoring just 2.4 runs/game its last ten (6-2-2 'Under') and crossing only 3.1 per/contest the past fifteen on the diamond (10-3-2 'Under'). On the other mound, Edinson Volquez a pleasant surprise for K.C. has shown he can keep the score low in font of the home crowd. He is 4-1 at home with a 2.19 ERA posting 4 'Under', 1 'Over' and a 'Push'. Consider ' Under'. Royals have made a habit recently of playing 'Under' posted totals on home field (7-1-2 'Under'). Rangers have failed to top the total in 7 of 10 as underdogs of +$1.10 to +$1.50 and have played 'Under' in 6 of its last 10 on the road.

Saturday's six-pack

-- Since 1979, the favored horse has won the Belmont only six times.

-- Kyrie Irving broke his kneecap, is obviously out for the rest of the Finals.

-- Jason Dufner went -10 on his first 23 holes this week at the Memorial, then went -1 over his last 13 holes and is one shot out of the lead.

-- Alex Rodriguez has a .374 OB% for a first place team, which is pretty damn good.

-- Missouri State is the #8 college baseball team but they had to play at Arkansas in the Super Regionals because they share their home park with a minor league team.

-- At what point does TV's obsession with Eldrick Woods end? He's not good.

BIG AL

Cleveland

In baseball action, we'll play on Danny Salazar and the Tribe this afternoon. Salazar will be looking for his 6th win, which would tie his career-high. And with a 5-1 record, and 3.79 ERA, he's been a bright spot for Cleveland so far in what's otherwise been a disappointing start to the season. Cleveland's bats have given him great support this year (7.90 runs per game, #3 in MLB), and the Indians have won 12 of 17 overall. Salazar will oppose Ubaldo Jimenez, who has been dreadful vs. the Indians, his former team (his ERA was just south of 12 runs per game vs. Cleveland last season). Even worse for Baltimore: Cleveland has dominated losing teams the past three seasons, as it's 111-62, +36 games on the money line.
