Atlanta Braves vs. Philadelphia Phillies Preview and Predictions 05-21-2018

20th May 2018 by Gracenote

the philadelphia phillies host the atlanta braves in the opener of a three-game series monday, an interesting matchup of two rebuilding teams that have accelerated their timetable with strong starts in 2018. the first-place braves lead the phillies by 1 1/2 games in the national league east, and while division titles are not won in may, the way both teams have pitched this season is a big reason why they could contend deep into the summer.

one season after the phillies finished 18th in the majors in era (4.55) and the braves were 24th (4.72), both teams are ranked in the top 10 - atlanta sixth at 3.51 and philadelphia eighth at 3.56. the braves got an uncharacteristic poor pitching performance from julio teheran before a six-run ninth capped a frantic 10-9 victory at home against miami on sunday, but their rotation is 19-8 on the season while the bullpen has vastly improved after a poor start - a big reason why atlanta is 21-1 when leading after six innings. the phillies, who lost 5-1 on sunday at st. louis, have experienced similar success as their starters have posted 17-12 record while their bullpen sports a 3.77 era. philadelphia's aaron nola, who pitched sunday, has established himself as one of the top starters in the nl and veteran jake arrieta sports a 2.82 era while giving the phillies a key veteran presence in the rotation.

tv: 7:05 p.m. et, fs southeast (atlanta), nbcs philadelphia

pitching matchup: braves rh mike foltynewicz (3-2, 2.87 era) vs. phillies rh nick pivetta (3-2, 3.72)

foltynewicz walked a season-high five hitters in his last start, a no-decision on tuesday against the chicago cubs, but struck out a season-high 10 while limiting the damage to one unearned run. the 26-year-old has not allowed an earned run in his past two starts, giving up six hits across 10 innings. foltynewicz makes his 10th start of the season and his fourth against philadelphia, going 1-0 with a 2.12 era and 21 strikeouts in 17 innings in the first three.

pivetta gave up just two hits over seven innings with one run allowed and a career high-tying 11 strikeouts in a victory at baltimore on wednesday. the 25-year-old faces atlanta for the fourth time this season, having allowed eight runs in 14 innings while going 0-1 with a 1.50 whip in the first three. since allowing six runs in one inning against washington on may 4, pivetta has given up just one run on six hits with 18 strikeouts in his past two starts (12 innings).
walk-offs

1. atlanta cf ender inciarte, winner of two consecutive gold gloves, left sunday's game after six innings following a hard crash into the outfield wall two frames earlier.

2. phillies cf odubel herrera's streak of reaching base safely ended at 45 consecutive games sunday despite making it to first on a dropped third strike in the ninth inning, which does not extend the run.

3. the braves and phillies will not meet after this series until sept. 20, then the two teams will play seven times in the season's final 11 days.

prediction: phillies 4, braves 3

San Diego Padres vs. Washington Nationals Preview and Predictions 05-21-2018

20th May 2018 by Gracenote

the washington nationals bid for their first victory in eight days on monday when they open a three-game series against the visiting san diego padres. the nationals (24-21) had won 13 of 15 before seeing one game suspended and two more postponed due to mother nature, then getting unceremoniously swept by the los angeles dodgers.

trea turner launched a two-run shot in the third inning of sunday's 7-2 setback to increase his eight-game total to eight hits - including three homers - and seven runs scored for washington since going 1-for-10 in a three-game set against san diego. bryce harper went 1-for-10 with five strikeouts in the weekend series versus the dodgers but hopes to rebound versus monday starter robbie erlin, against whom he is 4-for-4 with five rbis in a small sample size. san diego (20-28) benefited from a four-run ninth inning to record a series victory with sunday's 8-5 triumph over pittsburgh. freddy galvis has 10 hits and six runs scored during his last seven games overall for the padres, although he went 1-for-11 in the previous set against washington and is 11-for-45 versus monday starter gio gonzalez.

tv: 7:05 p.m. et, fs san diego, masn (washington)

pitching matchup: padres lh robbie erlin (1-2, 3.46 era) vs. nationals lh gio gonzalez (4-2, 2.36)

with left-hander joey lucchesi nursing a hip injury, erlin will be ushered into making his second spot start this season after recording four consecutive scoreless outings in which he allowed a total of four hits while striking out four. the 27-year-old, who has been limited to just one inning since last monday, permitted six runs in three frames in his lone previous start against the dodgers on april 16. in addition to harper, erlin has been tormented by anthony rendon (4-for-6, homer) and the current crop of nationals (10-for-16, two homers, 11 rbis).
gonzalez was saddled with the first of his two straight no-decisions on may 9 despite allowing one run on five hits over six innings against san diego. the 32-year-old received the same fate six days later, although he issued four walks to drive up his pitch count (111) against the new york yankees in a suspended game. eric hosmer is 5-for-10 with two homers in his career versus gonzalez, although the southpaw owns a 3-2 mark with a 3.21 era in seven career appearances against san diego despite allowing the padres to bat .299 against him.
walk-offs

1. san diego 3b christian villanueva has six hits - including three homers - and six rbis with three runs scored in his last four games.

2. rendon is mired in a 2-for-23 stretch in his last seven contests since going 5-for-12 with three extra-base hits against the padres.

3. san diego lf jose pirela, who has hit safely in 11 of his last 14 games, went 4-for-9 in the previous series versus the nationals.

prediction: nationals 5, padres 1

Miami Marlins vs. New York Mets Preview and Predictions 05-21-2018

20th May 2018 by Gracenote

the new york mets are riding high after the first sweep of at least three games at citi field in two years while the miami marlins are down in the dumps after squandering a six-run lead in their series finale versus atlanta. the mets (23-19) hope to continue their good fortune on monday when they open a three-game home series versus the marlins (17-29), against whom they outscored 16-9 in a three-game sweep from april 9-11.

amed rosario became the youngest met to record a multi-homer game since lastings milledge in 2007 by going deep twice and asdrubal cabrera added a two-run shot in sunday's 4-1 win over arizona. cabrera launched a pair of homers in new york's 8-6 triumph over miami on april 10 to highlight a series in which he went 4-for-12 with four runs scored, while rosario had three hits and three runs scored in the set's first two contests. while the mets are 4-1 on their eight-game homestand, the marlins saw leads of 6-0 and 8-2 go by the boards en route to losing for the ninth time in 13 outings with sunday's 10-9 setback in atlanta. lewis brinson belted a grand slam in the series finale versus the braves, but went 0-for-9 with four strikeouts in the previous set against the mets.

tv: 7:10 p.m. et, fs florida (miami), sny (new york)

pitching matchup: marlins rh elieser hernandez (0-0, 2.25 era) vs. mets lh jason vargas (0-3, 13.86)

hernandez acquitted himself well in his first career major league start on wednesday, yielding one run on three hits in five innings of a no-decision versus the los angeles dodgers. the 23-year-old venezuelan primarily relied on his fastball, as he went to that pitch on 51 of his 75 deliveries to the plate. "in spring, he was just a kid with a good look on his face, no. 1," manager don mattingly told the sun-sentinel of the rule 5 draft pick. "he's been aggressive. he was aggressive in spring. we've seen him pitch a couple of times now. he throws the ball over the plate. he doesn't seem to be fazed."
manager mickey callaway opted to give right-hander zack wheeler an extra day of rest and is shuffling vargas to the mound, with the latter pitcher receiving his first start since may 8. the 35-year-old has struggled mightily in three outings this season, as he was taken deep five times in his previous two and allowed four runs on six hits over four innings of a 7-2 setback to cincinnati in the last one. cameron maybin is 4-for-6 and starlin castro is 3-for-8 versus vargas, who lost his lone career appearance against miami after permitting four runs on eight hits across six innings.

walk-offs
1. miami rf brian anderson has four multi-hit performances in his last six outings and had three hits in the previous series against new york.

2. mets 3b wilmer flores carries a four-game hitting streak into monday's tilt versus the marlins, against whom he had three extra-base hits (two doubles, homer) in two games earlier this season.

3. miami has yielded at least seven runs in seven of its last 13 games.

prediction: mets 6, marlins 3

Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Milwaukee Brewers Preview and Predictions 05-21-2018

20th May 2018 by Gracenote

the arizona diamondbacks hope to ignite their dormant offense as they continue a nine-game road trip monday against the milwaukee brewers in the opener of a three-game series between a pair of national league division leaders. the diamondbacks have lost four in a row and 10 of their last 11 contests, managing just 22 runs in that stretch, to see their lead over colorado in the nl west shrink to one-half game.

arizona was the victim of a three-game sweep by the new york mets on the first leg of its trek, collecting six singles while giving up four runs over the sixth and seventh innings in sunday's 4-1 loss as it fell to 11-9 overall on the road after winning 10 of its first 14 away from home. the diamondbacks' only win in their last 11 games was a 2-1 triumph over milwaukee on tuesday, when zack greinke allowed one run over six innings in a no-decision, and the veteran faces his former team again monday while chase anderson gets the nod for the brewers. milwaukee, which leads the nl central, was unable to complete a three-game sweep of minnesota over the weekend as it fell 3-1 in sunday's finale but still has won seven of its last 10 contests. jesus aguilar has been red-hot for the brewers of late, belting four homers and knocking in six runs over his last three games while hitting safely in five straight (8-for-19) to raise his batting average to .333.

tv: 7:40 p.m. et, fs arizona, fs wisconsin (milwaukee)

pitching matchup: diamondbacks rh zack greinke (3-2, 3.46 era) vs. brewers rh chase anderson (3-3, 3.97)

greinke has allowed fewer than two runs in five of his nine starts, including each of the last three - a stretch during which he did not receive a decision while surrendering 13 hits over 18 2/3 innings. the 34-year-old floridian has recorded four quality starts over his last six outings and registered 58 strikeouts while issuing only seven walks in 54 2/3 frames this season. aguilar is 2-for-5 with a double and a homer versus greinke, who is 1-3 with a 3.75 era in seven career games (six starts) against milwaukee.
anderson returns from the disabled list after sitting out two weeks due to an illness to make his ninth start of the season and vie for his fourth win in six appearances. the 30-year-old texan has given up nine runs on 11 hits - three homers - and six walks over 10 2/3 innings in his last two starts following his longest outing of the season - a seven-frame effort in which he yielded just one run in a loss to the chicago cubs. nick ahmed is 2-for-5 against anderson, who is 2-1 with a 1.88 era in four career games versus arizona.

walk-offs

1. arizona 1b paul goldschmidt is 36-for-79 with 10 doubles, seven homers and 20 rbis in 20 career games at miller park.

2. the brewers have won all 16 games in which lhp josh hader has pitched, and the 24-year-old has recorded 56 strikeouts in 27 1/3 innings.

3. the diamondbacks have committed the fewest amount of errors in the major leagues (14) while milwaukee has made 32, which is tied for second-to-last in the nl.

prediction: diamondbacks 6, brewers 3

New York Yankees vs. Texas Rangers Preview and Predictions 05-21-2018

21st May 2018 by Gracenote

the new york yankees, who lead the major leagues in runs scored and also own the best record (30-13), look to feast on another struggling team when they visit the texas rangers on monday for the opener of their three-game series. the yankees posted 18 runs over the weekend to win the final two games of a three-game set against kansas city (14-32) and prepare to play rangers (18-30), who reside in the american league west cellar.

slugger giancarlo stanton continues to turn around his season, going 10-for-20 with a pair of home runs over his last five games to raise his batting average to .263, while aaron hicks went 7-for-12 with a homer for new york in the series versus kansas city. masahiro tanaka gets the start in the series opener for the yankees and will oppose the ageless bartolo colon, who is coming off his best performance of the season. the rangers arrive home after losing three of four to the white sox in chicago, including a 3-0 defeat on sunday in which they recorded only two hits. shin-soo choo registered one of them and is 9-for-28 with four walks and six rbis over his last seven games for texas, which is just 7-16 at globe life park as it begins a seven-game homestand.

tv: 8:05 p.m. et, mlb network, wpix (new york), fs southwest (texas)

pitching matchup: yankees rh masahiro tanaka (4-2, 4.73 era) vs. rangers rh bartolo colon (2-1, 2.82)

tanaka is winless in his last three starts, permitting 10 runs and 17 hits - three homers - over 16 1/3 innings, although his last outing was a shortened one as tuesday's contest at washington was suspended after 5 1/2 frames. the 29-year-old native of japan gave up one run in three of his first six starts of 2018 but has not worked more than 6 2/3 innings this year. robinson chirinos is 4-for-8 with a pair of doubles versus tanaka, who is 0-2 with a 6.38 era in four career starts against texas.
colon recorded his second victory of the season last time out as he limited seattle to four hits over a season high-tying 7 2/3 scoreless innings. the 44-year-old dominican, who has notched 242 career wins, has completed at least seven frames in four of his last six starts while issuing a total of three walks in that stretch. stanton is 6-for-16 with two homers against colon, who is 6-9 with a 6.11 era in 21 career appearances (20 starts) versus the yankees.

walk-offs

1. new york 3b miguel andujar finished a double shy of the cycle on sunday and has hit safely in nine of his last 10 games (13-for-41).

2. texas rhp chris martin was activated from the 10-day disabled list sunday and struck out two in a scoreless inning of relief.

3. the teams split six games in 2017 after the rangers won the previous two season series.

prediction: yankees 4, rangers 3

Detroit Tigers vs. Minnesota Twins Preview and Predictions 05-21-2018

21st May 2018 by Gracenote

the minnesota twins have won only one of their first five full series at target field this season but hope to double that total when they begin a three-game set against the visiting detroit tigers on monday. minnesota, which had two series in the gopher state abbreviated by inclement weather last month, won two of three against houston from april 9-11 but proceeded to go 0-3-1 in its next four home sets.

the twins salvaged the finale of their three-game series against milwaukee on sunday, posting a 3-1 triumph as logan morrison snapped a tie with a two-run single in the eighth inning. detroit continues its seven-game road trip after losing the final three contests of its four-game set in seattle. the tigers were two outs away from recording a shutout victory on sunday but went on to drop a 3-2 decision in 11 innings. detroit failed to get on the board after a first-inning, two-run homer by john hicks, who has notched two rbis in four of his last nine games.

tv: 8:10 p.m. et, fs detroit, fs north (minnesota)

pitching matchup: tigers lh blaine hardy (0-0, 3.38 era) vs. twins rh jose berrios (4-4, 4.05)

hardy will be making his second career start - and first on the road - after lasting only 4 1/3 innings against seattle on may 13, when he gave up two runs and eight hits in a no-decision. the 31-year-old native of washington made a relief appearance versus the mariners in his hometown on thursday, striking out the only batter he faced. hardy is 1-0 with a 3.78 era in 17 career efforts out of the bullpen against minnesota.
berrios halted a string of four straight rough starts on tuesday as he registered 10 strikeouts while allowing one run and two hits over 7 1/3 innings in a victory over st. louis. the 23-year-old puerto rican has given up five runs and 13 hits in 24 1/3 frames over his last four turns at home, with four and five coming in a loss to cincinnati on april 29. berrios has made four starts and one relief appearance against detroit in his career, posting a 2-1 record despite surrendering 21 runs (20 earned) on 22 hits and 13 walks in 15 1/3 innings.

walk-offs

1. hicks has hit safely in nine of his last 10 games and 20 of 26 this season.

2. minnesota of byron buxton has gone just 3-for-26 since returning from a month-long stint on the disabled list.

3. detroit rhp jordan zimmermann (shoulder) is expected to throw a few bullpen sessions before making at least one rehab start next week.

prediction: twins 6, tigers 2

Baltimore Orioles vs. Chicago White Sox Preview and Predictions 05-21-2018

21st May 2018 by Gracenote

if nothing else, the chicago white sox have proven they have the ability to beat up on last-place teams in the american league in what has been an otherwise forgettable season. the white sox take on the one al cellar-dweller they have yet to face monday, when they host the opener of a four-game series against the baltimore orioles.

chicago (13-30) doubled its home win total for the season over the weekend by taking three of four from al west-worst texas after entering the set with a 3-15 record at guaranteed rate field. the rangers joined al central-worst kansas city (5-2) as the only teams the white sox have defeated in a series or recorded multiple victories against in 2018. the orioles (14-32) could be ripe for the picking to join the dubious group given they own major league-worst 4-19 road mark, although they have stabilized a bit by going 6-5 over their last 11 overall games following an 8-27 start. baltimore stopped its 13-game losing streak away from home friday in boston but fell to 1-15 in its last 16 such contests despite recording 13 hits in sunday's 5-0 setback against the red sox.

tv: 8:10 p.m. et, masn 2 (baltimore), nbcs chicago

pitching matchup: orioles rh andrew cashner (1-5, 4.83 era) vs. white sox lh hector santiago (0-1, 5.29)

cashner held philadelphia scoreless until the sixth inning but still dropped his fourth straight decision wednesday, permitting three runs on five hits and three walks while fanning six in 5 2/3 frames. one of the sorest spots for the 31-year-old has been the long ball, as he has given up at least one blast in six straight turns and 11 overall. welington castillo is 5-for-12 and jose abreu 4-for-6 versus cashner, who is 0-2 with a 4.61 era in four career appearances (two starts) against chicago.
santiago did not factor in the decision wednesday at pittsburgh despite allowing only two runs on two hits and three walks over five innings. the 30-year-old native of new jersey has dropped eight consecutive decisions (seven of which came in starts) and failed to earn a victory since defeating the white sox on may 9, 2017 while with minnesota. santiago is 1-0 with a 3.80 era in seven career appearances (four starts) against baltimore.

walk-offs

1. the orioles failed to homer sunday for the first time in 13 games.

Kansas City Royals vs. St. Louis Cardinals Preview and Predictions 05-21-2018

20th May 2018 by Gracenote

the st. louis cardinals attempt to take advantage of a team in an even deeper funk when they host the kansas city royals on monday for the opener of their i-70 series. st. louis has gone 0-1-3 in four sets since sweeping two- and three-game home series against the chicago white sox and cubs, respectively, to begin the month.

the cardinals posted a 5-1 victory over philadelphia on sunday to earn a split of their four-game set as tyler o'neill went 3-for-4 with a solo homer in his ninth major-league contest, while fellow rookie jack flaherty registered 13 strikeouts en route to his first career win. kansas city was battered 10-1 by the new york yankees on sunday for its ninth loss in 11 games. the royals managed just four singles in the setback - including two by hunter dozier, who has recorded a pair of two-hit performances in six contests this campaign. kansas city was outscored 18-4 by new york in back-to-back defeats and has allowed fewer than five runs only twice in its last 12 games.

tv: 8:15 p.m. et, mlb network, fs kansas city, fs midwest (st. louis)

pitching matchup: royals rh ian kennedy (1-4, 4.98 era) vs. cardinals rh miles mikolas (5-0, 2.63)

kennedy looks to end a seven-start winless streak after escaping with a no-decision at tampa bay on tuesday, when he surrendered five runs on seven hits and three walks across six innings. the 33-year-old californian has not been victorious since scattering four hits and striking out eight over six scoreless frames at cleveland in his second turn of the season on april 7. kennedy has not fared well against st. louis in his career, going 3-6 with a 7.41 era in nine starts.
mikolas is coming off the shortest start of his first season with the cardinals - and first in the majors since 2014 with texas, a 4 2/3-inning effort at minnesota on wednesday in which he gave up two runs and seven hits en route to a no-decision. the 29-year-old floridian has yielded fewer than three runs in six consecutive outings after allowing four in each of his first two turns. mikolas has yet to face kansas city in his career but is 2-0 with a 2.08 era in four appearances (three starts) at busch stadium.

walk-offs

1. royals of jon jay, who spent the first six years of his career with the cardinals, has hit safely in 11 of his last 12 games and 34 of 44 this campaign.

2. kansas city has hit into a major league-high 49 double plays this season, with c salvador perez leading the way by hitting into eight.

3. o'neill's homer on sunday - his second in as many days - was the first by a st. louis cleanup hitter at home this year.

prediction: cardinals 7, royals 3

Colorado Rockies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Preview and Predictions 05-21-2018

21st May 2018 by Gracenote

the los angeles dodgers were headed nowhere fast less than a week ago, but somewhere along the way on their trip to the east coast, they became the hottest team in the national league. los angeles sets its sights on a season-high fifth straight victory monday, when it returns home to face the colorado rockies in the opener of a three-game series.

the dodgers fell to 16-26 after suffering six straight losses to division cellar-dwellers cincinnati and miami to match its worst 42-game start since leaving brooklyn for los angeles in 1958 before mercifully ending their skid with a 7-0 victory over the marlins on thursday. with injuries wreaking havoc on their rotation in particular, the defending nl champions showed their grit by marching into washington and completing a three-game weekend sweep of the nationals, who had won 13 of their previous 15. los angeles' mini-surge has left it five games out of first place in the nl west and 4 1/2 behind second-place colorado, which settled for a series split in san francisco over the weekend despite winning the first two games in convincing fashion. the rockies remain one of the majors' best road teams in light of the consecutive losses with an 18-11 away record, including an 8-3 mark this month.

tv: 10:10 p.m. et, at&t sportsnet-rocky mountain (colorado), sportsnet la (los angeles)

pitching matchup: rockies rh german marquez (2-5, 5.15 era) vs. dodgers rh walker buehler (2-1, 2.67)

marquez had the misfortune of pitching opposite jordan lyles and his perfect-game bid tuesday in san diego, taking the loss after serving up a two-run homer to eric hosmer while allowing six hits over five innings. the 23-year-old venezuelan is 2-2 with a 2.25 era on the road, but he has struggled out of the gate on a regular basis, posting a 13.50 era in the opening frame. marquez made both of his career starts versus the dodgers last year, giving up seven runs - five earned - over 10 innings in a pair of no-decisions.
buehler encountered his first rough outing in five big-league turns wednesday in miami, failing to factor in the decision after surrendering five runs - four earned - while recording seven strikeouts in five innings. the native of kentucky had not permitted more than two runs in any start prior to the outing, giving up a total of four in 22 frames while striking out 27. buehler has not yielded a homer in either of his first two starts at dodger stadium, where he has gone 0-1 with a 1.64 era.

walk-offs

1. dodgers of matt kemp is batting an nl-best .455 with runners in scoring position.

2. colorado 3b nolan arenado has recorded a pair of two-hit performances and two three-hit efforts over his last six games - a stretch during which he is batting .423.

3. after hitting one home run in 88 at-bats prior to going on the disabled list at the end of april, los angeles of yasiel puig has belted four in 33 at-bats since his return.

prediction: dodgers 6, rockies 2
