Wednesday’s streaking and slumping starting pitchers
Streaking
Tim Lincecum (San Francisco Giants)
Any doubts that Tim Lincecum’s Cy Young season was a flash in the pan are officially dead.
After a rough start to the schedule, the Giants' flame thrower has settled back into his familiar form, going undefeated in his past 11 starts. He is 6-0 and posting an ERA 2.15 during this span.
In his most recent outing, Lincecum went the distance, giving up seven hits and striking out eight batters in a complete-game shutout of the Oakland Athletics. Six of those K’s were against the final batter of an inning.
"He was in his own world tonight," center fielder Aaron Rowand told the San Jose Mercury News. "He made it easy for the rest of us."
That win improved Lincecum’s season count to 6-1 and trimmed his 2009 ERA to 2.66. He is second in the National League in strikeout with 103 whiffs on the year.
Slumping
Chien-Ming Wang (New York Yankees)
The Yankees are hoping facing baseball’s worst team will spark something in struggling starter Chien-Ming Wang. The right-hander is winless in his five starts this season, posting a 0-4 recorded and an ERA over 14.00 in 21 1-3 innings split between starting and bullpen work.
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman told reporters that Wednesday’s start will help the team determine what they want to do with Wang. If he continues to slide, New York could send the former 19-game winner back to the minors.
"We need Chien-Ming Wang," Cashman told the press. "This is an important step. We know what he's capable of. The velocity and the sink are there. Maybe his confidence isn't there."
Todd Wellemeyer (St. Louis Cardinals)
The St. Louis Cardinals are frantically searching the clubhouse for the five miles per hour missing from starter Todd Wellemeyer’s fastball. The righty is lacking the same pop on his pitches, leading to his recent funk.
In his past three starts, Wellemeyer is 0-2 and lugging an ERA of 7.00. His most recent appearance was a six-inning, 11-hit, five-run drubbing at the hands of the Florida Marlins (St. Louis actually won 6-5, earning Wellemeyer his second no-decision of the season).
"Last year I was throwing 94-96 (mph), this year I'm topping out at 90-91," he told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "I don't know what it is but there's definitely a difference. It makes things more of a challenge, that's for sure."
Wellemeyer is 5-6 and is posting a 5.50 ERA this season.

Pitching Preview
By Josh Jacobs
We’ve officially entered the summer time lull in professional sports. As a result, our attention now shifts exclusively to hardball. The season is still a little less then a month away from the halfway mark, and teams in both leagues are bunched up like cattle in their respective divisions.
And so our coverage of the MLB in June continues. In this case its pitchers who have a start on the horizon and whether performances in June thus far gives us an indication of things to come on the next card.
The Good
Dan Haren, Arizona (5-4, 2.20 ERA): The Diamondbacks are 10-games behind its performance at this time one year-ago. But instead of harping on what or what not Arizona has done right it’s all about Dan Haren’s performance in this go-around. Emerging from an ERA spike in May (3.50 versus April’s 1.54), Haren has since locked down the opposition. In three starts this month, the right-handed starter has yet to allow more then one earned run, and eight total hits surrendered speaks volumes. It’s just a shame that the club’s offense continues to slump, especially when it produces 4.1 runs of support per game for Haren. The six-year vet out of Pepperdine will compete against Kansas City in the third and final game of the series on Thursday. The point of emphasis is that Haren has made seven starts this season versus teams with a record under the .500 mark. In these spots, the D-Backs’ slinger is 3-1, giving up 1.9 runs per game and seven strikeouts per outing. Being installed as a favorite 12 of 13 times in '09, you can guess that the price has been steep versus teams with a losing record (a -193 and -155 favorite in just his last two starts).
Brad Bergesen (4-2, 3.79 ERA): The Orioles are once again more miss then hit this season, but Brad Bergesen has made June his month to excel. The 23-year-old from Fairfield, California is coming off a gem of an outing against Atlanta. A complete game to be exact. In that 11-2 victory, the righty tossed 112 pitches, surrendering a stingy two runs off five hits. But how much stock can we put into the two June outings versus Seattle? Despite tossing a shutout on Jun. 9 and another two run showing on Jun. 3 (both against the Mariners), we can’t hide from the fact that this was against a club who’s batting .257 on the season. You might be beginning to see a solid investment here, but before placing that wager bettors must know that Baltimore is a winless 0-4 when Bergesen has taken the mound on the road. This compared to the team’s 6-1 record in his seven home appearances. And let’s be 100-percent honest; Philadelphia, the team that the Os and the starter of interest will face on Saturday, is a world away from Bergesen’s June opponents. The ‘under’ is 3-1 in his last four starts.
The Bad
Mark Buehrle (6-2, 3.43): Prepping for his 14th start of the season on Saturday, Mark Buehrle continues to struggle from the slab. The numbers working against the three time All-Star are lengthy. Some of the figures include surrendering 4.3 runs per game in conjuction with walking eight, failing to take the game past six innings in two of his last three starts and getting smacked for five long balls (all of which have taken place in just June alone). Four no-decisions in his last five scheduled appearances are a result of several factors, one which includes a 4.64 ERA and a .281 BAA on the road this season. The good news from a wagering perspective rests in the fact that the ‘under’ is a red hot, 7-2 in Buehrle’s last nine starts despite the recent 2-0 ‘over’ performance in his last two games. Even after getting 4.8 runs of support per game over the course of the season and 4.3 runs of support per game in June, giving up a familiar, 4.3 RPG (in June) nullifies these facts. Buehrle will be going up against the Reds. Cincinnati is 5-8 in June heading into Tuesday night’s card.
Todd Wellemeyer (5-6, 5.50 ERA): His stats may have taken a turn for the worst but even more disheartening is the decrease in speed on the one time, 96 MPH fastball. In Wellemeyer’s last display on the hill, speed guns clocked the fastball stuck at 90 MPH throughout the contest. While the drop in speed is apparent, Wellemeyer struggled in those six innings against the Marlins, giving up five earned runs and 11 hits. What this did was raise the righty’s June output to a 7.00 ERA with an 0-2 record in 18 innings of work. Wellemeyer will be the first one in this list to make a start come Wednesday. Some problems facing those willing to put money down on St. Louis mid-week against Detroit include the club’s 3-5 record during Wellemeyer’s home appearances. His own 2-5 home record with a .299 BAA and 5.72 ERA including lefties batting .338 all compound the wagering decision. As for the decrease in velocity, most signs point to Wellemeyer's first full year as a starter in '08 after being assigned to the pen for his first four tours in the Majors. It's clear as day that his current duties have taken a toll on the arm.

(925) TAMPA BAY RAYS
(926) COLORADO ROCKIES
Take "(925) TAMPA BAY RAYS"
Tonight's Rays-Rockies pitching matchup favors the Rox, as Aaron Cook has been outstanding of late for Colorado. TB lefty David Price is having control problems and that's led to very high pitch counts and early exits, although he's managed to avoid big innings. Those issues prevent me from taking a strong stance on the Rays tonight. Nevertheless, it's a decent spot for the road dog. The Rays are now winners of six straight and their offense is hot, while the Rockies finally dropped one last night and could be ready to regress. That gets me tilting toward the Rays as road dogs tonight.

Hey guys,
I've been posting plays for a few cappers for some time now, and I came across a capper that has been lights out so far. I've been following them for 5 days now, and have been on a roll. The web sight is Fantasysportsgametime.com. 100*'s are 6-1, 50* 4-1, 25*'s are 3-1. They are giving out baseball for free on their site. Football package is only $199. I will post the plays when I get them, usually around 10:30. Check them out though.

CRIAG TRAPP SOLID COMP
WOW what a start to the week Craig went 2-0 yesterday and is 3-0 on the week. Today Craig has his strongest 5 star MLB HOME RUN PLAY OF WEEK so make sure you check it out. Today's Bonus Play will be another MLB Interleague winning side play.
RECORDS
Tampa Bay Rays 35-31, 14-19 away (Price 1-0, 2.37 ERA)
Colorado Rockies 31-33, 12-15 home (Cook 5-3, 4.26 ERA)
Betting Trends
-Rays are 4-1 in Prices last 5 starts.
-Rays are 4-0 in their last 4 interleague games vs. a team with a losing record.
-Rockies are 1-5 in Cooks last 6 interleague starts.
-Rays are 5-2 in the last 7 meetings.
The Rays ended the Rockies long winning streak yesterday and today look to extend there own 7 game winning streak. They turn the ball over to there best pitcher right now Price. Even though he only has one win he should be at least 3-0 but the bullpen let him down twice. The Rays are twice as talented as COL and will put up a minimum of 7 runs today in hitter friendly Coors Field. Pitching for COL is Cook who at times can be good but today will struggle with one of the best lineups in the major leagues. This one will not be close and having underdog value here makes it even better!! SCORE TB 7 - COL 3

1 Unit on Milwaukee Brewers +109
I look for the Brewers to pull off the sweep in Cleveland tonight behind Suppan, who is a brilliant 4-1 on the road this season. He's been at his best of late, going 2-0 with an ERA of just 2.12 over his last 3 starts. The Tribe sends the lefty Huff to the hill and that likely spells disaster as the Brewers are 6-2 in their last 8 road games vs. a left-handed starter. Huff has an ERA of 7.39 on the season and that number looks mighty troublesome against one of the better road hitting teams in the NL. The Brewers have won 6 straight over the Indians and we'll back them again tonight as they make it 7 in a row.

Ai Simulator 3* graded play on Texas as the host Houston slated to start at 8:05 EST. Supporting this graded play is a system that has gone 36-10 making 24.5 units since 2003. Play against NL road teams that are an average hitting team = .255 to .269 facing an average AL starter sporting an ERA=4.70 to 5.70 in the first half of the season. Texas is 18-9 (+8.5 Units) against the money line versus poor power teams averaging 0.9 or less HR's/game this season; 16-5 (+9.8 Units) against the money line at home when the total is 10 to 10.5 this season. Houston bullpen is the real focus for this play as they are in complete shambles sporting a 5.40 ERA and a 1.751 WHIP in road games. In the past 7 games Houston has allowed teams to hit 277 with a 353 OBP while they have scored just 3.7 RPG batting just 225 with an OBP of 282. Two of these games saw Houston score 6 and 8 runs so if you take them out of the recent 7 day span it shows just how very poor Houston is playing right now. Take Texas.

1 Unit on LA Dodgers -155
The best home team in baseball, at 24-9 on the season, is worth the juice tonight against an A's club that is just 11-21 on the road and 1-6 in Interleague play. The A's have now lost 4 in a row and I just don't see them having enough offense to compete tonight. Oakland is averaging only 3.8 runs per game on the road, compared to the 5.0 LA is scoring at home, and it faces a pitcher in Kuroda with an ERA of only 1.64 at home this season. The Dodgers get the call.
TOM FREESE COMP
Detroit starter Edwin Jackson has allowed 3 or less runs in 8 of his last 10 starts. The Tigers are 41-10 their last 51 Interleague games as favorites and they are 23-7 their last 30 games as road favorites. Detroit is 5-2 the last 7 starts made by Jackson. St. Louis is 5-11 in the last 16 starts made by Todd Wellemeyer vs. winning teams and they are 1-6 off a win. The Cardinals are 1-4 their last 5 home games and they are 3-7 after scoring 5 or more runs in their last game. PLAY ON DETROIT - (Jackson vs. Wellemeyer)

Seattle is 31-33 on the season while San Diego comes in with a 28-35 overall record this year. San Diego is 9-28 last 3 years and 0-4 this year in Interleague games. San Diego has lost 4 games in a row heading into tonight. Seattle bullpen has a 3.28 ERA overall this year. San Diego is scoring only 3.4 runs per game against Left Handed Starters this year and has a .226 batting average. San Diego only has a .210 batting average as a team at home this year. Garrett Olson is 1-0 with a 3.86 ERA his last 3 starts. Chad Gaudin is 2-5 with a 6.16 ERA in all games this year, 2-5 with a 6.42 ERA in all starts this year and 1-2 with an 8.79 ERA his last 3 starts. Seattle is 10-3 overall vs San Diego last 3 years including 7-0 at San Diego last 3 seasons. We'll recommend a small play on Seattle tonight! Thanks and good luck, Rocky

Take the Chicago White Sox ML, I gave the Chicago Cubs yesterday as my MLB Bonus Play but that was with Carlos Zambrano on the mound and now Ryan Dempster (4-3, 3.87 ERA) takes the mound after the rain out last night. We are getting solid value here today with the White Sox against Dempster who is just 1-1 with an ERA of 7.84 over 2 starts against the White Sox last season. The Cubs are just 0-6 in Dempster's last 6 starts after a quality start in his last outing and the Cubs are just 1-4 in Dempster's last 5 starts. The White Sox are 8-2 in their last 10 Interleague games and they are 5-1 in their last 6 road games. The White Sox are hitting .280 as a team on the road this season and their opponents are hitting just .212 against them over their last 7 games.
