HONDO

Hondo was cruising toward a hefty payday with the Chisox until third baseman Conor Gillaspie intervened and spoiled all the fun, throwing the Dodgers a victory and causing the debt to grow to 910 wathans.

Tuesday night: Mr. Aitch will throw his full faith and financial support to the one and only Jimmy Shields against his Arch-enemy in St. Louis — 10 units on the Royals.

Game of the Day: Giants at Reds

San Francisco Giants at Cincinnati Reds (-113, 7.5)

A base hit would be a good start for the San Francisco Giants when they visit Homer Bailey and the Cincinnati Reds for the opener of their three-game series on Tuesday. San Francisco had no luck in that department in its last encounter with Bailey, who tossed his second no-hitter of his career on July 2 at home. The Giants went down in order over the first six innings before Gregor Blanco drew a leadoff walk in the seventh, ending Bailey's bid for a perfect game.

No one could blame San Francisco if it feels as if it's experiencing a case of deja vu as Tuesday's starter - Tim Lincecum - opposed Bailey on that historic night. The Giants enter this series having won five of their last six contests - three via shutout, including an 8-0 drubbing of the Cardinals in St. Louis on Sunday. Cincinnati, which is beginning a 10-game homestand, has won three straight contests and four of its last five.

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, CSN Bay Area (San Francisco), FSN Ohio (Cincinnati)

LINE MOVES: The Reds opened as -108 home faves but have been bet to -113. The total opened 7.5.

INJURIES: Giants - LF Michael Morse (Probable, foot). Reds - CF Billy Hamilton (Probable, elbow)

WHAT THE SHARPS SAY: "The Giants have played better than expected this season and this is reflected in the fact they are currently the most profitable team versus the moneyline this season (+17 nets units). San Francisco has surpassed the Dodgers as the current favorite to now win the NL West division. The Giant are 8-2 in their past three series and have this one road series remaining versus the Reds, before heading back to San Francisco for ten straight home games." Covers Expert Steve Merril.

WHAT THE BOOKS SAY: "Good pitching matchup in this game as Lincecum takes the mound for the Giants and Bailey for the Reds. The last time Homer Bailey pitched against the Giants he threw a no-hitter. Runs could be at a premium here in my opinion, however the over on the 7.5 run total is seeing over 90 percent of the action." Michael Stewart, CarbonSports.ag.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Giants RH Tim Lincecum (4-3, 4.18 ERA) vs. Reds RH Homer Bailey (5-3, 5.04)

Lincecum, who took the loss versus Bailey in the no-hitter, threw one of his own 11 days later and kept the Chicago Cubs out of the hit column for five innings on Wednesday before exiting with a blister on the middle finger of his right hand. The two-time National League Cy Young Award winner settled for a no-decision against Chicago but is 2-1 while striking out 22 in as many innings over four road starts this season. Lincecum has been a punching bag for the Reds in his career, going 0-3 with an 8.65 ERA in five outings.

Bailey limited the Dodgers to two runs over seven innings in Los Angeles on Wednesday to post his second straight victory and fourth in five decisions. The 28-year-old has lost only two of 10 starts since dropping his season debut and has yielded three runs or fewer in five of his last six outings. Bailey is unbeaten in six career turns versus the Giants, posting a 2-0 record and 4.26 ERA.

TRENDS:

* Giants are 1-6 in the last seven meetings.
* Reds are 4-0 in Baileys last four starts as a favorite.
* Under is 8-1-1 in Reds last 10 games following an off day.
* Under is 6-0 in Baileys last six starts vs. National League West.

CONSENSUS: Fifty-nine percent of wagers are on the Giants.

Tuesday, June 3


Chance of thunderstorms several ball parks Tuesday

There are thunderstorms expected at several ball parks across the major leagues Tuesday.

In New York, the Yankees host the Oakland Athletics at Yankee Stadium, where there are thunderstorms expected with a 70 percent chance of rain. Wind will be blowing across the field from first to third at seven mph.

In Washington the Nationals host the Philadelphia Phillies with thunderstorms and a 60 percent chance of rain in the forecast. There will also be a six mph wind blowing out towards right field.

There is a chance of thunderstorms in Atlanta where the Braves will host the Seattle Mariners. There is a 34 percent chance of rain.

While in St. Louis there will be a chance of thunderstorms and a 27 percent chance of rain for when the Cardinals host the Kansas City Royals. There will be a five mph wind blowing out to left field.


Angels' CF Mike Trout, probable Tuesday

Trout is dealing with a stiff back and did not play Sunday. He is expected to return for Tuesday's game against the Astros.


A's look to continue dominance of Yankees

The Oakland A's and New York Yankees begin a three-game series in the Bronx Tuesday, and the Athletics will certainly look to continue their stellar play versus the Bombers.

The A's went 5-1 versus the Yankees in 2013 and won the last four meetings of their head-to-head matchups.

Oakland, currently a -118 road fave, will send Scott Kazmir to the mound, while the Yanks (+109) are scheduled to counter with Hiroki Kuroda.


Padres' Cashner close to return from DL

Right-hander Andrew Cashner should be back in the San Diego Padres' rotation this weekend.

Cashner, on the disabled list since mid-May due to soreness in his elbow and forearm, declared he was ready to pitch Monday afternoon after throwing a four-inning, 65-pitch simulated game at Petco Park.

"There is no soreness," he said. "I'm ready to throw six to eight innings."

Padres manager Bud Black said of Cashner's simulated outing, "I liked what I saw, and (pitching coach) Darren (Balsley) is pleased. I'm excited about how Cash feels and how he looked today. He pitched four good innings with good velocity. We'll see how it feels tomorrow."

Black said if Cashner feels sound Tuesday and Wednesday, the right-hander likely would start in the spot manned Monday for a third time by long reliever Tim Stauffer, who allowed two runs on four hits and two walks in 2 2/3 innings in a 10-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Cashner, 2-5 with a 2.35 ERA in nine starts this season, would be the second addition to the rotation this week.

Black also announced that right-hander Jesse Hahn would make his major league debut Tuesday with a starting assignment against the Pirates. Hahn, 24, was 2-1 with a 2.20 ERA in 32 2/3 innings over 10 games (seven starts) for Double-A San Antonio. Hahn, who had Tommy John surgery in 2010, has been on a limited pitch count with San Antonio.

Tuesday's MLB betting cheat sheet: De La Rosa dominant as a favorite

Chicago's New Road Trend

The Chicago White Sox were a strong Under play on their previous road trip - going 1-4 O/U - but that trend has been flipped this time around. The White Sox dropped a 5-2 decision to Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday, moving to 5-1 O/U on their eight-game road trip.

Reds Return Home

Cincinnati (-118, 7.5) kicks off a 10-game homestand Tuesday night against the San Francisco Giants. Cincinnati is 12-12 SU and 10-13-1 O/U at Great American Ball Park so far in 2014, and has played the Under in four of its previous five games overall

A Rocky Kind of Total

The Colorado Rockies (-157, 10.5) open their own 10-game homestand Tuesday, entertaining the Arizona Diamondbacks in the opener of a three-game set. Colorado is 6-9 O/U in games where the total sits in double digits.

Pitching Notes

* Milwaukee right-hander Yovani Gallardo has allowed three or more runs in each of his last six starts, during which the Brewers have gone 3-3 S/U and 2-4 O/U. Gallardo and the Brewers (-150, 8) host the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday.

* The Rockies are a sensational 18-2 in left-hander Jorge De La Rosa's last 20 starts as a favorite of between -151 and -200. Colorado has also won De La Rosa's last six starts overall entering Tuesday's showdown with the Diamondbacks.

Hitting Notes

* Oakland third baseman Josh Donaldson has five home runs and 13 RBIs over his last eight games. The Athletics have gone 5-3 against the moneyline and 6-2 O/U over that span as they prepare for Tuesday's game against the host New York Yankees (+109, 8).

* White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu returned from a DL stint in style, belting a two-run homer off Kershaw in Monday's loss to the Dodgers. Abreu leads Chicago - as well as all major-league rookies - with 16 homers entering Tuesday's game in Los Angeles.

Totals Streak

Philadelphia Phillies (6-1-1 O/U): The Philadelphia pitching staff has stumbled of late, surrendering 29 runs en route to losing four of five games to the visiting New York Mets. The Phillies are 30-20-5 O/U for the season entering Tuesday's showdown with host Washington (-184, 7.5).

Prop of the Day

The Toronto Blue Jays could provide a strong payoff if they continue surging against the Detroit Tigers. Toronto is +310 to win by three or more runs; the Blue Jays led the majors with a .277 batting average, 165 runs and 48 homers in May.

Injury Notes

* The Washington Nationals are expected to activate third baseman Ryan Zimmerman (thumb) in time for Tuesday's game against Philadelphia. The Nationals are 21-24 SU, 20-18-7 O/U and -769 units for the season with Zimmerman out of the lineup.

* The New York Yankees could have first baseman Mark Teixeira (wrist) in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Oakland. New York is 10-9 SU, 11-8 O/U and +134 units with Teixeira sidelined.

Weather Watch

* Wind at Miller Park will blow out to left field at 7 mph for Tuesday's game between Milwaukee and visiting Minnesota. Teams combined for just 6.63 runs and 1.75 homers in eight games under similar conditions in 2013 - well below the stadium averages of 8.28 runs and 2.12 homers.

Umpire of the Day

The road team is 5-0 in umpire Gary Cederstrom's last five games behind home plate. Cederstrom will call the balls and strikes for Tuesday's showdown between the White Sox and Dodgers.

Tuesday's Interleague Action
By Kevin Rogers

Since the start of last season with the Astros moving to the American League, interleague play takes place every day. At this point of the season, every team has taken part in at least one series against the opposite league, as five interleague series are currently ongoing. We’ll take a look at who’s been the best and worst when battling these unfamiliar opponents.

The Best

Pretty much every California team has dominated in interleague play so far, with four of the five Golden State clubs putting together terrific records.

Giants: 6-0
Brewers: 8-2
Angels: 6-2
Dodgers: 5-1
Athletics: 3-0

Of these four squads, the Dodgers are currently the only team playing an interleague series, coming off a 5-2 victory over the White Sox on Monday as a -200 home favorite. The Giants face the Athletics in a Bay Area showdown from July 7 through July 10, while the Freeway Series between the Dodgers and Angels will commence from August 4 through August 7.

The Worst

Phillies: 1-8
Twins: 2-7
Tigers: 2-4
Braves: 0-4

The Twins dropped their seventh interleague game in nine tries in Monday’s blowout loss at Milwaukee. Minnesota has faced the class of the National League in its seven losses, facing Milwaukee, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, while the only two victories came against the offensive-challenged Padres. The Phillies won their first interleague game in the season opener at Texas, but have lost eight straight to American League opponents, including four to Toronto. Philadelphia doesn’t face another AL team until early August when the Phillies host the Astros.

Tonight’s action

Mariners at Braves

Probable Pitchers:
SEA: Ramirez (1-4, 6.00 ERA)
ATL: Floyd (0-2, 2.37 ERA)

What to watch for: The Mariners are playing their third game in their third different city after beating the Tigers at home on Sunday and the Yankees in New York last night. The Braves return home following a three-game sweep of the Marlins in South Florida, but Atlanta has failed to win an interleague game in four tries.

Rays at Marlins

Probable Pitchers:
TB: Archer (3-2, 4.00 ERA)
MIA: Alvarez (2-3, 2.97 ERA)

What to watch for: The Rays have hit the skids with seven straight losses, while the ‘under’ has hit in five consecutive contests. The Marlins have been solid all season at home, as Miami owns a spectacular 8-2 record in Game 2’s at Marlins Park. Since May 1, the Marlins have won five of the last six starts made by Alvarez.

Royals at Cardinals

Probable Pitchers:
KC: Shields (6-3, 3.36 ERA)
STL: Garcia (1-0, 4.12 ERA)

What to watch for: The Royals picked up their fifth win in 14 tries as a road underdog in last night’s 6-0 shutout of the Cardinals. Since losing his first two starts on the road, Kansas City has won each of the past six away starts made by Shields, while the ‘over’ has cashed in seven of his previous eight outings. This has been a homestand to forget for the Cardinals, who are 2-6 through the first eight games of this nine-game stand at Busch Stadium.

Twins at Brewers

Probable Pitchers:
MIN: Deduno (1-3, 3.86 ERA)
MIL: Gallardo (3-3, 3.56 ERA)

What to watch for: Minnesota owns the second-worst interleague record in baseball, while losing five of its past seven road games overall. The Brewers have won nine of their last 12 games at Miller Park, while the ‘over’ has hit in six of the last seven home contests.

White Sox at Dodgers

Probable Pitchers:
CHW: Noesi (0-4, 5.83 ERA)
LAD: Haren (5-3, 3.28 ERA)

What to watch for: The Dodgers rallied past the White Sox last night for just their second win in the last six tries. After Los Angeles won five of Haren’s first six starts this season, the Dodgers have dropped four of his past five trips to the hill. Chicago has compiled a 3-6 record in Game 2’s on the road this season, while the ‘under’ has cashed in six of the last seven overall for the Sox.
