Tuesday's Diamond Notes

Hottest team: Dodgers (8-2 past 10 games, 47-11 past 58 overall)
The rich certainly got a lot richer at the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, as the red-hot Dodgers picked up Yu Darvish to strengthen the starting rotation, as well as Tony Cingrani and Tony Watson to bolster their bullpen. The way the league's top team has been going, it's hard to see why they need to fix what isn't broken. They have won 47 of their past 58 games, they're 10-1 over their past 11 road games against a team with a losing record, 18-6 in the past 24 away from home overall and 4-1 in their past five road games vs. RHP. They're also 40-14 in their past 54 overall against righties. L.A. turns to Kenta Maeda, as they're 10-2 over their past 12 starts and 4-1 over his past five outings against a losing team.
Coldest team: Rays (0-4 past four games, 3-9 past 12 overall)
The Rays were sitting pretty in the American League East on July 18 after a win in Oakland, within striking distance of the Red Sox and Yankees. They appeared to be right in the mix for a postseason spot, but it's been a slow burn since. They're just 3-9 over their past 12 games, including a 14-7 beating in Houston that showed how far away from the contenders that they really are. Tampa Bay is anything but done, still just 4 1/2 games off the pace in the AL East. However, to be serious contenders they'll have to win on the road. They have just one win over the past six on the road, and they're 1-7 over the past eight vs. RHP and 0-5 in their past five against the AL West.
Hottest pitcher: Chris Sale, Red Sox (13-4, 2.73 ERA)
The Red Sox turn to Sale to keep things rolling in the right direction in their showdown series against the Indians. Boston won the opener on Monday by a 6-2 count, and now Sale faces a team he knows all too well. He hasn't faced Cleveland yet in 2017, but he is 3-3 with a 3.38 ERA in nine starts over 53 1/3 innings against the Indians since the start of the 2014 season. He faced the Tribe frequently as a member of the Chicago White Sox. The All-Star wrapped up his best month of the season, going 3-1 with a 1.04 ERA in five July outings, as the opposition mustered just a .167 average against him across 34 2/3 innings over five starts.
Coldest pitcher: Ricky Nolasco, Angels (4-12, 5.07 ERA)
The team's Opening Day starter was sharp last time out, posting a quality start in a loss in Cleveland on July 26. Still, he finished 1-3 with a 5.72 ERA across 28 1/3 innings over five July outings, serving up four homers. It was his third consecutive losing month, and his second-worst month from an ERA perspective. Nolasco has allowed a league-high 27 homer, tied with Masahiro Tanaka of the Yankees. The good news for Nolasco is that Tuesday's opponent, the Philadelphia Phillies, rank 27th in the majors in home runs with just 109 through 103 games.
Biggest UNDER run: Cubs (4-0 past four overall)
The 'under' is a popular play when Jon Lester takes the ball for the Cubbies. The total has gone under in six of Lester's past eight assignments while going an impressive 19-7 over his past 26 starts at Wrigley Field. The ounder is also 18-7-1 across his past 26 at home against teams with a winning overall mark. Against the NL West, the under is even more prominent for the Cubs, going36-15-3 over their past 54 games. One thing that might worry under bettors has been Chicago's success against southpaws at the Friendly Confines. The over is 6-1-2 over the past nine home games vs. LHP. However, the under is 5-1 over their past six meetings with the Diamondbacks and 4-1 in their past five meetings at Wrigley.
Biggest OVER run: Astros (20-7-1 past 28 games)
The Astros have been an 'over' machine all season, and they are the only team in the league with more than 576 runs scored (623). Houston is averaging 5.93 runs per game while swatting a major-league best 172 homers. They also lead the majors with a .503 slugging percentage. The 'over' has hit in eight of their past 10 games on grass, 4-0 across their past four outings vs. RHP, and 24-7-1 in their past 32 games against the American League East. Mike Fiers hits the mound at Minute Maid against the Rays, and the over is 4-1-1 across his past six while going 7-1-1 in his past nine assignments against AL East foes. The over has cashed in four straight, including Monday's 14-7 series opening win by the 'Stros, as well as seven consecutive meetings overall.
Matchup to watch: Padres vs. Twins
When interleague league started many years ago, Mets-Yankees, Angels-Dodgers, Cubs-White Sox, Giants-Athletics were matchups that were highly anticipated, and are still special today. However, interleague play also gives us games like the Twins-Padres. Minnesota was a contender for much of the season, but July treated them very rudely. They're just 1-6 over their past seven outings, and 0-4 in their past four tries against the NL West. They have also dropped four straight road games by Jose Berrios. And if you think an off day will help them, think again. They're 2-7 across their past nine following a day off. The Padres are buried in the NL West, but they keep fighting. San Diego has won four of their past five, they're 4-1 in their past five at Petco Park and they're 5-1 across the past six outings at home by Jhoulys Chacin. They're also 5-0 in his past five starts overall.
Betcha didn’t know: The A's may have thrown the towel in by dealing Sonny Gray to the Yankees at the deadline, but Sean Manaea appears to be next in line to serve as the franchise's ace. He is 8-5 with a 3.82 ERA overall this season, and he has lost just two of his past 13 outings with seven victories during the stretch. He has faced San Francisco just once so far in his fledgling career, posting 5 2/3 scoreless innings last June against the Giants. San Francisco has won just twice over its past nine tries on the road against a left-handed starter, and they're 18-40 over their past 58 games on the road overall. The A's are the complete opposite lately, winning eight of their past nine at home vs. RHP while picking up wins in five of Manaea's past seven home outings.
Biggest public favorite: Blue Jays (-200) at White Sox
Biggest public underdog: Twins (+105) at Padres
Biggest line move: Brewers (+105 to -120) vs. Cardinals

GAME: San Francisco Giants (40-67) at Oakland Athletics (47-59)
DATE/TIME: Tuesday, August 01 - 10:05 PM EST
WHERE: Oakland Coliseum, Oakland, California

Preview: Giants at Athletics

Aug 1, 2017
The Oakland Athletics did the expected and dealt ace Sonny Gray before Monday's non-waiver trade deadline, but they managed to go on and emerge victorious in the Bay Bridge Series opener anyway. Oakland looks to extend its winning streak to four games when it hosts the San Francisco Giants for the second contest of the four-game, home-and-home set Tuesday.
The last-place Athletics completed their recent housecleaning by shipping Gray to the New York Yankees for a trio of prospects but were not fazed by the deal as they used a 12-hit attack to post an 8-5 triumph on Monday. Marcus Semien delivered the big blow, belting his second career grand slam in the sixth inning to erase a 3-2 deficit, while Jed Lowrie, who reportedly was on the trading block, collected three hits to improve to 6-for-13 over his last three contests. San Francisco looks to salvage the finale of its five-game road trip before the Bay Bridge Series shifts to AT&T Park on Wednesday. Gorkys Hernandez is riding a five-game hitting streak during which he has gone 7-for-17 while outfielder Carlos Moncrief, who walked in his major-league debut Saturday, went 2-for-4 with an RBI on Monday is his first career start for the Giants.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Giants RH Jeff Samardzija (5-11, 4.85 ERA) vs. Athletics LH Sean Manaea (8-5, 3.82)
Samardzija is coming off one of his best outings of the season, a victory over Pittsburgh on Wednesday in which he allowed one run and four hits over seven innings. The 32-year-old native of Indiana kept the ball in the park for the first time in five turns while registering at least eight strikeouts for the 11th time this year. Samardzija, who made 16 starts for Oakland in 2014, is 1-2 with a 10.06 ERA in three outings against his former club.
Manaea has lost only two of his last 13 outings, recording seven victories in that span. The 25-year-old, who also hails from the Hoosier State, allowed three runs over seven innings in a no-decision at Toronto on Thursday and did not issue a walk for the first time in 12 turns. Manaea won his only career start against San Francisco on June 29, 2016, when he scattered six hits over 5 2/3 scoreless frames.
WALK-OFFS
1. The Athletics stocked up their farm system before the trade deadline, adding INF Jorge Mateo, OF Dustin Fowler and RHP James Kaprielian from New York in the deal for Gray while obtaining RHP Jeferson Mejia from Arizona for INF Adam Rosales.
2. San Francisco RHP Johnny Cueto (blisters) was sent to Single-A San Jose on a rehab assignment.
3. Oakland activated rookie 2B Chad Pinder (hamstring) from the disabled list and recalled RHP Michael Brady from Triple-A Nashville.

GAME: Philadelphia Phillies (39-64) at Los Angeles Angels (51-55)

Jul 31, 2017
Three outs from closing out a road trip on a high note, the Los Angeles Angels will try to shake off a stunning setback when they kick off a nine-game homestand against the resurgent Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night. Philadelphia arrives on the West Coast riding a five-game winning streak after completing a four-game sweep of Atlanta.
The Phillies sent another veteran packing Monday with the trade of reliever Joaquin Benoit, who joined fellow reliever Pat Neshek, Howie Kendrick and starter Jeremy Hellickson as players who were recently dealt. Odubel Herrera clubbed a three-run homer Monday, capping a month in which he batted .360 with six homers and 13 RBIs. The Angels must pick themselves off the mat after coughing up a six-run lead in the ninth inning and losing on a walk-off grand slam Sunday, denying them a three-game sweep in Toronto. Albert Pujols swatted a pair of homers in the series finale at Toronto, giving him 607 for his career and moving him within two of tying Sammy Sosa for eighth place on the all-time list.
TV: 10:07 p.m. ET, CSN Philadelphia, FSN West (Los Angeles)
PITCHING MATCHUP: Phillies RH Aaron Nola (8-6, 3.17 ERA) vs. Angels RH Ricky Nolasco (4-12, 5.07)
Nola continued his superb stretch last time out versus American League-leading Houston, striking out a career-high 10 and allowing four hits over six scoreless innings. He is 5-1 over his last seven starts, slicing his ERA by more than 1 1/2 runs after allowing a combined eight runs in that span. Andrelton Simmons is 1-for-8 against Nola, who owns a 3-3 record and 3.52 ERA in eight road starts.
Nolasco suffered his 12th defeat of the season at Cleveland on Wednesday, giving up three runs on nine hits over 6 2/3 innings. The 34-year-old is 0-3 over his last four starts since back-to-back victories in which he did not allow a run in 15 1/3 innings -- his only two wins in his last 16 outings. Nolasco is 8-7 with a 3.83 ERA in 23 appearances (20 starts) against the Phillies while Cesar Hernandez is 3-for-3 against him.
WALK-OFFS
1. Simmons is riding a nine-game hitting streak.
2. Cesar Hernandez is 9-for-22 with a pair of triples during a five-game hitting streak.
3. The Angels traded RHP David Hernandez to Arizona on Monday in exchange for minor-league RHP Luis Madero.

GAME: Minnesota Twins (50-53) at San Diego Padres (47-58)
DATE/TIME: Tuesday, August 01 - 10:10 PM EST

Preview: Twins at Padres

Jul 31, 2017
The Minnesota Twins have felt at home on the road for much of the season, although the results over their current eight-game West Coast trek haven't been comforting at all. After squandering leads in every contest, the Twins aim to turn around their fortunes on Tuesday as they continue the road trip with the opener of a two-game interleague series at the San Diego Padres.
Minnesota found itself on the wrong side of a game-ending hit for the third time this trek, dropped to 1-5 on the trip and fell for the sixth time in its last seven overall following Sunday's 6-5 loss in 12 innings to Oakland. "(Sunday's) game kind of mirrored some of the other ones on this trip," Twins manager Paul Molitor said. "... What we've been doing too much of is letting these teams hang around." The Twins, who reside five games out of a wild-card spot entering play Monday, take a 3-6 interleague mark into Petco Park to face the Padres, who saw their four-game winning streak halted on Sunday by Andrew McCutchen's three-homer performance in a 7-1 rout by Pittsburgh. Dusty Coleman, who was called up from Triple-A El Paso last week, belted a solo shot for his second homer in three outings while his raising his RBI total to five in his last four contests.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Twins RH Jose Berrios (9-4, 3.76 ERA) vs. Padres RH Jhoulys Chacin (10-7, 4.22)
Berrios sustained his second loss in three outings on Tuesday after allowing four runs in the fourth inning of a 6-2 setback at the Los Angeles Dodgers. "I did notice that I was getting too aggressive and that was making myself open up," the 23-year-old Dominican said. Berrios looks to get back on track as he has permitted two earned runs or fewer in eight of his 14 starts this season.
Chacin improved to 4-0 in his last five starts after yielding two runs on four hits for the second straight outing in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the New York Mets. The 29-year-old Venezuelan has surrendered just two homers in his last six trips to the mound after being taken deep 13 times in his previous 15 contests. Chacin owns an impressive 6-2 mark with a 2.05 ERA in 11 starts at Petco Park.
WALK-OFFS
1. Minnesota traded RHP Brandon Kintzler to Washington on Monday prior to the trade deadline. The closer converted 28-of-32 save opportunities this season.
2. San Diego CF Manuel Margot is 15-for-33 and hit safely in seven of eight contests since returning from paternity leave.
3. Veteran 1B Joe Mauer is expected to play in his 1,677th game in a Twins uniform, moving him past Tony Oliva into fourth place on the team's all-time list.
