Los Angeles Angels at Seattle Mariners (-150, 7)

The Angels have been bedeviled so far this month, starting May with an 0-5 record for the first time in franchise history going into Thursday night's showdown with the Red Sox and former ace John Lackey.

A quick glance at the numbers will tell you why they've fallen from first to third in the AL West in just five days in May. They've scored just one run in three of those five outings and two in another while hitting just one home run after slugging 23 in April.

"The way we're (hitting) everyone looks like Cy Young," Angels outfielder Torri Hunter told SI.com.

He forgot to exclude his own team's staff, which has seen its ERA almost double this month to 8.48. The Angels trot out Jared Weaver (3-1), who allowed seven hits and four earned runs in just 4 2/3 innings in last Sunday's loss to the Tigers.

The Angels face another tough challenge in Felix Hernandez (2-2), who is 9-1 in his last 10 starts at home, and a long flight from Boston to Seattle to start their third straight road series.

Pick: Mariners


Atlanta Braves at Philadelphia Philles (-140, 10)

The Phillies are starting to look like the Atlanta Braves of the 1990s in the NL East, recapturing the top spot in the standings after winning three straight from the Cardinals.

Now the last-place Braves come to town this weekend for a pitching rematch from their last meeting two weeks ago. Jamie Moyer outdueled Derek Lowe in the Phillies' 8-3 win on April 22, with Moyer scattering four hits over six scoreless innings while Lowe was chased in the fiifth for allowing four earned runs.

Not much has changed since then, although the Braves have won four of their last five against the equally weak Astros and Nationals. But they lost leading producer Jason Heyward to a groin injury in the process and he is unlikely to play Friday.

Atlanta was batting just .240 going into Thursday night's game and that stat includes Heyward's numbers. Take the rookie out of the lineup and things look bleak for the Braves.

Heyward leads the team in on-base percentage (.408) and slugging (.619) and is second in batting average (.286). He has a team-high 24 RBIs (the next-closest has 15) and eight home runs (the rest of the team combines for 10).

Look for the Phillies' 47-year-old right-hander and a rejuvenated offense to have another field day against the Braves.

Pick: Phillies

This Day in Baseball
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On May 7 in Baseball History...

1917 - Babe Ruth of the Red Sox allowed only two hits as he outpitched Walter Johnson of the Washington Senators, 1-0. Ruth knocked in the winning run with a sacrifice fly.

1922 - Jesse Barnes of the New York Giants pitched the only no-hitter of the year, beating the Philadelphia Phillies, 6-0.

1925 - Pittsburgh shortstop Glenn Wright made an unassisted triple play in the ninth inning against the St. Louis Cardinals when he caught Jim Bottomley's line drive, stepped on second to double Jimmy Cooney, and tagged Rogers Hornsby coming from first.

1957 - Cleveland pitcher Herb Score was hit on the right eye by a line drive off the bat of Gil McDougald in the first inning. The ball broke Score's nose and damaged his eye; he missed the rest of the season.

1959 - A crowd of 93,103 came to the Los Angeles Coliseum on "Roy Campanella Night" to show their affection for the paralyzed Dodger catcher. The Dodgers were beaten by the New York Yankees, 6-2, in an exhibition game that followed the ceremonies.

1960 - Norm Sherry, a replacement catcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, hit a home run in the 11th inning to give his brother, relief pitcher Larry Sherry, a 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies in Los Angeles.
