New York Mets at Washington Nationals (-130, 7.5)

Mets third baseman David Wright slumped through an 0-for-20 skid earlier this season but that seems like a long time ago now. Wright drilled two homers and drove in three runs in New York’s 8-4 victory over Arizona on Sunday.

"He wasn't feeling right at the plate, and these games like this, you're going to have good and bad stretches," right fielder Carlos Beltran told reporters of Wright, who’s now hitting .262 with five homers and 14 RBIs. "You have to understand that the season is a long season and believe in your talent. He's a very talented player. Every year he does his thing. Maybe he was a little frustrated, but today he's fine."

So is New York’s starting pitching for a change.

Each of the Mets’ last six starters have lasted at least six innings and the club has won four straight heading into Chris Young’s outing on Tuesday. Young held the Nats to just one hit over seven innings the last time he took the hill.

Boston Red Sox at Baltimore Orioles (+110, 9)

What a difference a couple weeks makes in the MLB season.

Not long ago all everyone was talking about was how terrible the Red Sox were and the surprising start the Orioles were enjoying. A lot has changed since then.

The Orioles have won just two of their last 13 games overall as they have fallen back to earth after jumping out to a quick start. The Yankees really rubbed some salt in the wounds when they took the O’s to the woodshed on Saturday in a 15-3 blowout.

"We got after them, competed," Showalter told reporters after Sunday’s 11th-inning loss to New York. "After last night, I was proud of the way everybody came out and got after it."

And with that, we’re back to the same old story with the Orioles – try hard, but don’t expect too much.

Meanwhile, Boston has won eight of its last nine. Clay Buchholz is having some problems with location, but that isn’t scaring us off at this price.

MLB Betting: Royals visit Cleveland Indians
By: Willie Bee

The Royals and Indians both enter the series having dropped four of their last five.

Hard to believe, but here we are nearing the end of April and a series between the Cleveland Indians and Kansas City Royals is still relevant to the top of the AL Central standings.

The two biggest surprises in the American League meet for a second time this season when they begin a three-game series at Progressive Field on Tuesday (4:05 p.m. PT). Game 1 will see Luke Hochevar on the hill for the Royals against the Indians' Justin Masterson.

Chinks are starting to appear in both team's armor with KC and the Tribe each entering this series having dropped four of five. Cleveland is coming off a 2-4 road trip, splitting the four in Kansas City last week before dropping two in Minnesota over the weekend with Friday's contest rained out. The Royals were swept in Texas following last week's home series with the Indians.

Cleveland leads the AL Central with a 13-8 record and is 7.2 units in the black against the MLB odds, the top return in the majors when play started Monday. Kansas City's 12-10 record had the Royals 1.5 games behind the Indians and tied for second in the division. Royals backers have brought home 4.3 units so far.

Neither team is strongly trending one way or another on the totals board, the Tribe 10-10-1 'over/under' and the Royals 11-10-1 'over.'

The two squads are very even on the offensive side of the ball, Kansas City's 5.09 runs per game just ahead of Cleveland (5.00) with the batting averages, on-base marks and slugging percentages nearly identical. The one advantage the Royals have is on the basepaths where their 30 steals (against five runners caught) are tops in the AL and nearly triple the Indians' 11 thefts.

Cleveland in turn owns a big advantage on the hill with their 3.69 ERA more than a half-run lower than KC's. Indians pitchers are also allowing just 0.6 home runs per nine innings compared to Royals serving up 1.1 per nine.

Tuesday's game is a pitching rematch of Game 3 last week in Kansas City, the last time Cleveland got into the win column. Hochevar (3-2, 5.12) rolled along with a perfect game into the sixth inning before the Indians broke through with four runs and eventually posted a 7-5 victory as 110 road favorites.

The Indians added two more runs against Hochevar in the seventh before he hit the showers. Masterson (4-0, 1.71) worked six frames and allowed just two runs, both in the first inning, to pick up his fourth dubya in as many starts.

Masterson's only black mark in the boxscore was the five free passes he gave out, one more walk than he allowed in his previous three starts covering 20 1/3 innings.

The right-hander out of San Diego State made three appearances against KC last season, one out of the bullpen. Cleveland was 1-1 in his two starts with Masterson sporting a 1.92 ERA in the 9 1/3 innings combined.

Hochevar saw the Indians three times in 2010, all in a starting role. The former Tennessee All-American went 2-1 in the outings, 1-1 at Progressive Field where he posted a 4.50 ERA in 14 innings. The one victory in Cleveland was his lone complete game of the season.

A 60 percent chance of rain with a lot of wind is in the Cleveland forecast for Tuesday. The thermometer should be in the high-60s for first pitch, with 20-30 mph winds blowing out to left-center.

The series continues Wednesday evening when Kansas City sends lefty Jeff Francis to the mound against one of Cleveland's best-kept secrets, right-hander Josh Tomlin

MLB News and Notes Tuesday 4/26

Chicago Cubs, Rockies continue MLB odds set
By: Stephen Nover

Dreadful in Kansas City, Jorge De La Rosa has become an underrated effective pitcher in Colorado.

De La Rosa is slated to take the mound on Tuesday night at 5:05 PT when the Rockies meet Chicago in the second of their three-game series at Wrigley Field.

The 30-year-old De La Rosa is healthy and aiming to have his finest season. He’s 3-0 with a 3.00 ERA and 1.00 WHIP.

It’s the ERA and WHIP that are surprisingly good for De La Rosa, a high strikeout pitcher who has had control and long ball problems. Also excellent is his ground outs-to-fly outs ratio, which is 3½-to-1.

De La Rosa had ERA’s above 5.00 when throwing for the Royals in 2006 and 2007. But the southpaw has turned the corner with the switch to the National League having gone 35-24 in three plus seasons with the Rockies.

Colorado is 30-13 the past 43 times De La Rosa has started. De La Rosa is 3-0 with a 1.74 ERA in his career against the Cubs.

The Rockies have won eight of their first 11 road games. Colorado had the fourth-worst away mark in the National League last year at 31-50.

The Rockies are leading the National League West despite down seasons so far from two of their biggest stars. Ubaldo Jimenez has yet to win a game while outfielder Carlos Gonzalez entered this week batting just .228 with one home run.

Jimenez was 19-8 last season. Gonzalez batted .336 with 34 homers and 117 RBIs in 2010.

Troy Tulowitzki, however, is living up to high expectations of perhaps being the best shortstop in baseball going into this series hitting .333 with seven home runs. He hasn’t hit well in nine previous games at Wrigley Field, though, going into this season batting .162 there with one home run.

The Rockies currently rank sixth in the majors in runs scored at more than five per game. The ‘over’ has cashed in 12 of their last 15 games through this past Sunday.

Colorado figures to do damage against 25-year-old lefty James Russell, a reliever who has been forced to start due to Randy Wells and Andrew Cashner being on the disabled list.

This would be just the third start for Russell if Cubs manager Mike Quade decides to stick with him. Russell has struggled going 1-2 with an 8.00 ERA.

The Rockies took two of three from the Cubs at Coors Field from April 15-17. The Rockies are 54-25 versus NL Central Division foes. Colorado traditionally has struggled at Wrigley Field, though.

Going into this series, the Rockies had lost 11 of their last 12 in Chicago. The Rockies are used to unpredictable weather playing in Denver. The forecast for Wrigley Field on Tuesday night is temperatures in the 50s with the wind blowing out to right field at 13 mph and a 45 percent chance of rain.

This is the Cubs’ eighth of nine consecutive home games. Outfielder Kosuke Fukudome is 10-for-19 during the first six games of the homestand. The Cubs also have been getting excellent hitting from their middle infield.

Shortstop Starlin Castro was leading the team in batting at .376 while second baseman Darwin Barney had hit safely in 13 of his first 16 starts.

Chicago is 5-1 the past six times it has faced a left-hander at home.

The ‘over’ had cashed in Chicago’s last four games at Wrigley Field entering this series. The ‘over’ also was 5-1-1 the previous seven times these teams have met heading into the series.

After Wednesday’s series finale, the Cubs go on a seven-game road trip beginning Thursday at Arizona.

The Rockies return home to host Pittsburgh in a three-game series starting Friday before heading back out on the road for six games facing Arizona and San Francisco.
