Baltimore Orioles at Boston Red Sox [TBS | 1:30 PM ET]

Orioles: Daniel Cabrera takes a dismal career record against the Red Sox into Fenway Park for his 20th start of the season. Cabrera is just 2-9 lifetime vs. Boston with a 7.11 ERA though he has pitched better this season overall. He is 3-4 with a 4.29 ERA in 12 road starts this year though and has earned just one win in his last nine outings overall in seeing his ERA ballon from 3.48 to 4.40.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

Red Sox (-230, O/U 9): Daisuke Matsuzaka has come on strong in his last three starts following a disastrous start upon his return from the DL back on June 21st against St. Louis (seven runs allowed in one inning). Since then, Dice-K has allowed only one run in 17.1 innings of work, walking 11 and striking out 14. He is 5-1 in eight starts at Fenway this season with a solid 3.43 ERA.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD



San Francisco Giants at Chicago Cubs [WGN | 2:20 PM ET]

Giants: National League All-Star Tim Lincecum will look to rebound from his first road loss of the season when he visits Wrigley Field. Lincecum gave up four runs and nine hits in six innings of a 7-0 loss to the Mets last time out on Tuesday, but he remains 7-1 away from home with an impressive 2.23 ERA. He is 1-1 in three career starts against the Cubs with a 3.10 ERA and earned the win on July 3rd.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

Cubs (-150): Fellow NL All-Star Ryan Dempster will try to complete a perfect first half of the season at home after leading his team to an 11-0 record there in 11 starts so far. Dempster was outstanding in his last start at Wrigley on Tuesday, allowing just one run and two hits in seven innings of a 7-3 victory. He has struggled a bit against the Giants during his career with a 2-6 mark and 4.34 ERA and walked away with a no-decision in a 6-5 victory at San Francisco on July 2nd after giving up two runs and five hits in six innings with two walks and seven strikeouts.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD



Los Angeles Angels at Oakland Athletics [4:05 PM ET]

Angels: American League All-Star Joe Saunders will be going for his lucky 13th win of the season for the second time after suffering a tough-luck 3-2 loss last time out at Texas on Tuesday. Saunders allowed three runs and six hits to the Rangers in eight innings of work, striking out five without issuing a walk. He is 6-3 on the road with a 2.23 ERA and owns a 4-1 lifetime mark vs. Oakland to go along with a 4.02 ERA.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

A's (-130, O/U 7): Another All-Star vs. All-Star matchup takes place here in Oakland, and no pitcher in baseball has been as hot as Justin Duchscherer, who has allowed two runs or less in his last nine starts. Duchsherer is also coming off his best start of the season, notching a complete-game shutout of Seattle on Tuesday. He allowed only two hits and did not walk a batter while striking out four to improve to 7-1 at home and lower his ERA there to 1.23.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD



Colorado Rockies at New York Mets [ESPN | 8:05 PM ET]

Rockies: Mark Redman is still searching for his first victory since April 16th, when he allowed two runs and three hits in five innings of a 10-2 win at San Diego. Redman is coming off a loss at Milwaukee on Tuesday in which he gave up four runs and six hits in five innings. He has not struck out more than two batters in any of his last five outings and is just 1-4 lifetime vs. New York with a 4.64 ERA.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

Mets (-165, O/U 9): Mike Pelfrey has been one of the main reasons New York has finally started to turn its season around. Pelfrey has led the Mets to wins in his last six starts, allowing one run or less in three of his last four trips to the mound. He is coming off his best start of the season last Tuesday against San Francisco, giving up just three hits in seven scoreless innings with no walks and five strikeouts. Despite a 3-4 mark in nine starts at Shea Stadium, he still has an outstanding 2.68 ERA there.

Key Injuries - NONE

Streaking Starting Pitchers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sunday’s streaking and slumping pitchers

Streaking

Mike Pelfrey, New York Mets (7-6, 3.93)

The Mets are on a roll and Pelfrey is partially responsible for their success. The lanky right-hander is 3-0 with a solid 2.37 ERA in his last three outings and is undefeated in his last eight overall.

Pelfrey has rattled off six straight victories, including a three-hit shutout Tuesday against the Giants. He is also 3-4 with a 2.68 ERA in New York.

The Mets are 4-0 in Pelfrey's last four against the NL West and 23-6 in their last 29 home tilts against the Rockies.

Justin Verlander, Detroit Tigers (6-9, 4.24)

Verlander is turning around what seemed to be a very disappointing campaign. The right-hander is 2-0 with a 2.89 ERA in his last three starts and has not surrendered more than two earned runs in each of his last seven outings.

The third-year pitcher, loser of seven of his first nine, has lost just two of his last 10 contests. Verlander is also 4-4 with a decent 3.80 ERA in the Motor City.

Detroit is 20-8 in their last 28 overall and 20-7 in its last 27 at Tigers Stadium.


Slumping

Jeremy Sowers, Cleveland Indians (0-5, 7.81)

Sowers has lost 10 consecutive starts dating back to 2007. He has surrendered 14 earned runs in his last two starts and has a lofty 9.77 ERA in his last three starts.

The left-hander is 0-3 with a 2.04 WHIP in his last three overall and is 0-1 at Progressive Field. He has also conceded at least one HR in each of his last seven outings.

The Tribe is 0-5 in Sowers' last five starts in the Forest City and is 1-4 in Sowers' last five starts against the AL East.

Ian Snell, Pittsburgh Pirates (3-7, 5.84)

Snell, 0-1 in his last three starts, has been tossing trash all season. He is coming off a respectable outing last week against Houston, but has conceded more than 20 hits in his last three, surrendering 12 earned runs in just 11 IP.

Snell has relinquished four earned runs or more in four of his last seven starts, including a four-inning and seven ER setback to the White Sox.

Pittsburgh is 1-4 in its last five contests as an underdog and is 18-47 in its last 65 meetings with the Cardinals in the Steel City. The Pirates are also 2-6 in Snells' last eight overall.

Also surprising are the Florida Marlins who are 48-44, only 2 games back in the NL East.
