Selected notes:
• Top of the Charts: With the Houston Astros batting a sad .228 for 2010, David Price is a pretty easy choice to top our Sunday list. He edges out Chris Carpenter, who has had some minor difficulty against the Angels in the past, as evidenced by his 3.88 ERA against the Halos. Josh Johnson gets the day's bronze medal. He lasted just 3 2/3 innings and allowed four runs the only other time he faced the White Sox, but that was back in 2007.
• Roy Halladay and interleague play means a return to lineups that are quite familiar with what he has to offer. This is especially true with the Red Sox, who are 14-14 against Doc and have averaged 4.28 runs per game while he's been on the mound. ... CC Sabathia and the Mets go great together, at least from his point of view. The big man is 2-0 with a 1.20 ERA against the crosstown rivals.
• Rounding out the top 10: Jered Weaver has allowed three earned runs in three innings pitched against the St. Louis Cardinals, and might have been ranked higher if not for the 4.94 ERA on the road this season. ... Shaun Marcum just edges out Zack Greinke for the final spot in the top 10, primarily because if Zack even gives up only three runs, he likely won't win.
• Middle-of-the-road options: The Kansas City Royals have the second-lowest strikeout total in the AL, so Jhoulys Chacin's upside for the day isn't as high as it might be otherwise. ... Felix Hernandez is 2-1 lifetime against the San Diego Padres with a 3.94 ERA, but hasn't looked good in almost a month. ... Johan Santana is 4-2 against the Yankees, but along with that record comes a 4.40 ERA.
• Streamers on alert: Ben Sheets has been erratic in 2010, but does have a career ERA of 2.36 against the San Francisco Giants. ... Kevin Millwood is 15-5 lifetime against the Washington Nationals, so history is on his side toward perhaps earning his first victory of the season. ... Similarly, Tim Wakefield has yet to win in 2010, but has had past success against the Philadelphia Phillies. He's 3-1 with a 3.12 ERA against them over the years.
• Thanks, but no thanks: Freddy Garcia faces the Florida Marlins, and I don't expect an improvement on the 5.91 career ERA against the Fish from him. ... David Huff has a 13.50 ERA against the Reds, while his opponent, Homer Bailey, has a 6.91 ERA against the Indians. Expect Cincinnati to win this one, 13-11.

Hitters' count: Sunday



• Travis Hafner, DH, Cleveland Indians: He's hit .379 during his current eight-game hitting streak, and .357 against the current Reds staff, including 2-for-5 versus Homer Bailey.
• John Buck, C, Toronto Blue Jays: Very quietly, Buck has put together a 10-game hitting streak and is now hitting .370 for the month of May. As catching options go, he's one of the better ones these days.
• Dan Uggla, 2B, Florida Marlins: Uggla has hit three home runs in the past five games, and is 2-for-6 with a home run against Freddy Garcia. Let the power numbers continue!
• Carl Crawford, OF, Tampa Bay Rays: Crawford is hitting .375 since May 11 and .341 away from home this season. A trip to Houston should see the stats continue to follow this positive trend.
• Michael Young, 3B, Texas Rangers: Not only has Young hit .382 for the month of May, but historically, he's surged against Carlos Silva. He's a .314 career hitter against the Cubs' starter.
• Ramon Hernandez, C, Cincinnati Reds: He's in and out of the lineup, but has still managed to produce all May, with a .316 batting average. He's 4-for-5 with a home run facing David Huff, so expect him to play -- and play well.


Pitchers' count: Sunday


• Andruw Jones, OF, Chicago White Sox: He's in a 2-for-17 slump and has hit just .235 against Josh Johnson, with six strikeouts in 17 at-bats.
• Pedro Feliz, 3B, Houston Astros: Talk about a bad month! Feliz is 10-for-59 in May (.169) and now goes up against David Price, against whom he's 0-for-3 lifetime with two strikeouts.
• Melvin Mora, 2B, Colorado Rockies: If Colorado does turn to Mora for an extra bat, it would be a shock. He's a pathetic 1-for-14 (.071) facing Zack Greinke.
• Juan Rivera, OF, Los Angeles Angels: Rivera's month has been quite empty. He's hitting just .269, in spite of hitting safely in 13 of 15 games. He's 0-for-4 against Chris Carpenter, so he should ride the pine in your lineup Sunday.
• Alex Rodriguez, 3B, New York Yankees: Not that there isn't a chance for some A-bombs from A-Rod, but he is only a .217 career hitter against Johan Santana.
• Adam LaRoche, 3B, Arizona Diamondbacks: LaRoche has scored seven runs in his past six games, but be wary of the .167 batting average against the Toronto Blue Jays, including just .111 against the current members of their staff.

Solid info, thanks.

Looking at the under in the salami today, tons of good pitching

hey, thanks for the work...

Excellent stuff here.

will continue to scratch my head at how Latos can be +135 today

using the charts the plays would be (no particular order):
Cle over 9.5 (two bottom 4 pitchers with horrible h2h history)
TB (most clear side on board, 1 vs 22 but check out L21 day ERA!)
FLA (3 vs 24), SD (8 vs 14), LA (5 vs 20), TOR (10 vs 30)

I just went under 130.5 for the day.
There will be more 4-2 type games than 8-5 type games.

SD +135 was just ridiculous pricing

AGREE...how the hell the line makers missed this one so big. Absolute gift at +35. Seattle doesn't deserve to ever be favored til they can score some runs. The 15 on Friday was an aberration that they will pay for the next 2 weeks.

Great job RT
