'White Sox in mound of trouble'
Chicago White Sox at Boston Red Sox June 23, 1:35 EST
James Shields will start for White Sox which doesn't engender a lot of confidence. The righthander has been tagged for 21 earned runs over 8 2/3 innings in his three White Sox starts. Shields 2-9 on the year tossing for Padres/Pale Hose also carries a 3-6 Team Start skid vs Boston while with KC/TB and a 1-6 TSR his last seven June starts.

'Cubs look to end 3-game skid'
Chicago Cubs at Miami Marlins June 23, 7:10 EST
A battle between portsiders is today's baseball betting focus as the Chicago Cubs open a four-game road series against the Miami Marlins. According to opening odds the Cubs are -$1.70 road favorites with the total set at 7.5 across all shops.
Cubs mired in a three-game skid have southpaw Jon Lester toeing the rubber, bringing a 9-3 record, 2.06 ERA to the hill. Lester in great form having allowing just 5 earned runs along with a 40-5 strike-walk-ratio has won five consecutive starts. Getting the call for Miami is lefty Wei-Yin Chen carrying a 4-2 record, 5.22 ERA. Chen, has put up horrible numbers the past three starts shelled for 23 Hits, 7 yard-ball, 15 earned runs.
Cubs should do what they typically do with Jon Lester on the mound in road games, and that's win! The Cubbies lefthander is 5-1 with a miniscule 1.69 ERA in an opposing park. Matching that, when the Cubs have started a new series with Lester they're a perfect 5-0. Additionally, Cubs enter 6-2 in enemy territory swinging away at a southpaw starter.

Thursday's six-pack
-- Knicks acquired Derrick Rose in a trade with Chicago; Rose has played in 166 of a possible 410 games the last five years and shot under 30% from the arc the last two years. Rose is entering the walk year of his contract.
-- From Chicago's side, it means Bulls are now probably keeping Jimmy Butler.
-- Pacers-Hawks-Jazz made a 3-way trade; Indiana gets Jeff Teague.
-- If you're Dez Bryant and you cause $100K in damage to the house you rented, it would probably be better if your landlord wasn't also a state senator.
-- Noah Syndergaard's elbow flared up yesterday, he left his start after six innings; all of a sudden, the Mets may be running short of healthy starting pitchers.
-- Penguins/Cavaliers both won championships this month, after firing their coach during the season; some nitwit baseball owner is going to hear that and........

Pads . 300 BA last 7, even more interesting...only Oakland scores more vs LHP than Pads (5.8 vs 5.6) Cinci #23 vs LHP scoring a mere 3.8 Keeping tabs on total as well as Pads... Yea they only had starting pitchers today....here is a preview. Good Luck! Venue: Great American Ball Park Date: June 23, 2016 7:10 PM EDT CINCINNATI -- Typically, a late-June series between two last-place clubs would not draw much interest. But, large crowds are expected at Great American Ball Park for this weekend's four-game set between the Cincinnati Reds and San Diego Padres. Pete Rose, baseball's all-time hits leader, will be inducted into the Reds Hall of Fame on Saturday as part of weekend-long festivities honoring Rose with 20 members of the Big Red Machine clubs of the 1970s present. Rose who compiled a record 4,256 hits during his 24-year career, is ineligible for induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame due to his banishment from the game for betting on baseball. Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred recently refused to lift Rose's ban, but he did open the door for the Reds to enshrine him in the franchise's Hall of Fame. Additionally, Rose's No. 14 uniform number will be retired by the club on Sunday. But, before the pageantry gets underway, Thursday's series opener begins with a matchup of left-handers in the Padres' Christian Friedrich and the Reds' John Lamb who've both struggled at times this season. Friedrich allowed a season-high six runs and nine hits in his last outing, a 7-5 loss to the Washington Nationals. Lamb has lowered his earned run average from a season-high 6.85 on May 27 to 4.75. In fact, his ERA in June was 2.66 including two straight seven-plus inning efforts. Lamb will be facing the Padres for the first time. Friedrich, a native of nearby Richmond, Ky., has faced Cincinnati five times including two starts, going 1-1 with a 7.50 ERA with 10 earned runs allowed and three home runs in 12 innings. Despite going 0-for-4 on Wednesday night, first baseman Wil Myers is pacing the Padres' offense with 16 homers and 45 RBIs. For the Reds, it's been corner outfielders Jay Bruce and Adam Duvall who are among just four sets of teammates in the major leagues with at least 48 RBIs each. The Reds' rebuilding efforts have gotten a boost of late with the return of promising young right-handers Michael Lorenzen and Raisel Iglesias, who are expected to bolster a bullpen that struggled for much of the season. Cincinnati's heralded corps of young starters will be on display in this weekend's series with Lamb, Cody Reed and Brandon Finnegan, all left-handers acquired last July in the deal that sent Johnny Cueto to the Kansas City Royals, each getting starts against the Padres. Right-hander Anthony DeSclafani, among several starters to begin the season on the disabled list, will make his fourth start since being reinstated. He's 1-0 with a fine 2.30 ERA since coming off the DL. The Padres (30-43) have struggled on the road, going 12-21 including a split in the two-game series in Baltimore which concluded Wednesday night with a 6-2 loss. Cincinnati (28-44) has gone 13-11 since snapping an 11-game losing streak on May 28. The Reds haven't fared well in recent years against San Diego, going 6-12 without a season series win since 2012. The Padres won both series last season taking two of three at both Petco Park and Great American |
