Sunday's Tip Sheet
By Brad Young

**Cubs (Marshall) at Brewers (Suppan)**

-Las Vegas Sports Consultants installed Milwaukee as a $1.23 home ?chalk? over Chicago, with the total set at nine ?over? (minus $1.30). This National League Central contest is scheduled to begin at 2:05 p.m. ET.

-Chicago southpaw Sean Marshall (0-2, 4.32 ERA) was roughed up by San Francisco Tuesday as a home ?pick,? 6-2. The Virginia Commonwealth product was reached for five runs on eight hits (one home run) with a walk and a strikeout over seven innings.

-The four-year veteran has not started against the Brewers the previous few years.

-Milwaukee veteran Jeff Suppan (2-2, 5.68 ERA) knocked off Pittsburgh Tuesday as a road ?pick,? 8-5. The 34-year-old tossed 5 2/3 innings, allowing three runs on five hits (one home run) with three walks and three strikeouts.

-The combined 13 runs eclipsed the nine-run closing total, helping the ?over? improve to 4-2 his six starts.

-Suppan fell to the Cubs April 12 as a $1.30 road favorite, 8-5, lasting just 3 2/3 innings while surrendering five runs on two hits (one home run) with six walks and a strikeout. The combined 13 runs toppled the 8 ?-run closing total.

-Lincecum beat the Dodgers April 29 as a $1.48 home ?chalk,? 9-4, pitching seven innings while allowing three runs on six hits with three walks and eight strikeouts. The combined 13 runs went ?over? the 7 ?-run closing total.

-Weaver has not started against the Giants the past few years.

-Toronto left-hander Brett Cecil (0-0, 1.50 ERA) is still searching for his first major league victory after Tuesday?s no-decision against Cleveland. The rookie went six innings, yielding two runs (one earned) on six hits with no walks and six strikeouts.

-The Blue Jays eventually prevailed as a $1.10 home favorite, 10-6, while the combined 16 runs soared ?over? the 10-run closing total.

-Oakland counters with lefty Dallas Braden, who is 3-3 with a 2.50 ERA in six starts. The former Texas Tech hurler fell to Los Angeles Tuesday as a $1.37 home ?chalk,? 5-3, tossing six innings while surrendering five runs (three earned) on eight hits with a walk and six strikeouts.

-The combined eight runs went ?under? the nine-run closing total, helping the ?under? improve to 5-1 his six starts.

-Braden fell to the Blue Jays April 19 as a $1.15 road underdog, 1-0, going a solid 7 1/3 innings while yielding the lone run on five hits with three walks and four strikeouts. The lone run never seriously threatened the nine-run closing total.

**Rays (Garza) at Red Sox (Beckett)**

-LVSC opened Boston as a $1.35 home favorite over Tampa Bay, with the total set at nine ?over? (minus $1.25). This AL East affair is scheduled to begin at 5:05 p.m. ET, with ESPN providing coverage.

Sunday Night Baseball: Rays at Red Sox
By Marc Lawrence

Tampa Bay Rays at Boston Red Sox (-130, 9.5)

Meeting for a third time this season, the Rays and Red Sox put the wraps on this series at Fenway Park.

Prior to capturing last weekend?s series with the Red Sox at Tropicana Park, Tampa Bay had dropped six consecutive series since taking two of three from Boston when the teams met at Fenway Park the opening week of the season.

The Red Sox took Friday's series opener 7-3 but dropped Saturday's game 14-5, giving up 17 hits and committing two errors. Rays third baseman Evan Longoria picked up two hits including a home run and had five RBI in the win.

There goes Carl

Rays outfielder Carl Crawford tied a major league record when he swiped six bases against the Red Sox in a 5-3 win last Sunday.

Everybody in the ballpark knew what had happened, except Crawford, who was aware of how many steals he had but had no clue that just three other players had accomplished the same feat since 1900.

"I found that out late. I wish I had known during the game," Crawford told reporters. "I probably would have broken it if I knew. I'd have definitely tried," he added. "I didn't even try. I don't know if that will ever happen again."

Crawford was 4-for-4 with an RBI and joined Eddie Collins, Otis Nixon and Eric Young as the only players to steal six bases in a game.

"We don't really talk stats during the game. Everybody's focused on the game, so nobody said nothing," Crawford said.

Rest assured Boston catcher Jason Varitek will be on the lookout and out for revenge Sunday. Crawford has just one stolen base in the first two games of this series.

The long and short of it

A pair of all-star arms will be featured under the ESPN lights when Matt Garza (3-2 3.51 ERA) matches serves with Josh Beckett (3-2 6.75 ERA).

Garza earned the victory over the Orioles in his most recent start, going eight strong innings and allowing just two earned runs on four hits. Garza has now won back-to-back decisions for the Rays. He's allowed two earned runs and five hits over his last 15 2/3 innings with 12 strikeouts.

Beckett rebounded by limiting the Yankees to only three runs, issuing one walk and five strikeouts when he recorded his third victory of the season in a 7-3 win at New York Tuesday. He had allowed a combined 15 earned runs in his previous two starts.

Interestingly, while Garza?s numbers are equal or superior to Beckett?s, he?ll earn $433,000 for his efforts this season. Compared to the $11,166.666 Beckett will haul down in 2009, Garza is a bargain by anyone?s standard.

Check the lineups

Red Sox manager Terry Francona had to tinker his lineup with OF Jacoby Ellsbury and IF Kevin Youkilis missing games due to injuries this week. Ellsbury was back in the lineup for the start of this series Friday. Youkilis was not.

"We're just looking for a little bit of balance and healthy bodies," Francona told the press. "Some nights, there's not a lot of guys available. Pedey (MVP Dustin Pedroia) in my opinion would be great in the leadoff spot, but then all of a sudden you're moving everybody, and who's going to hit second?

"One thing leads to the other. When you start moving people, the word 'balance' is what we're always trying to come to."

The history book says?

Entering this weekend the Rays had the upper hand in this series, winning 15 of the previous 22 encounters, including six of the last eight at Fenway Park.

Garza has owned the Sox, going 9-1 with a 2.54 ERA in his 10 career team starts, including 2-0 this season. Beckett stands 7-7 with a 4.21 ERA in his lifetime starts, including 1-1 in 2009, against the Rays.

Boston is 2-3 on Sundays this year, but 14-4 in its last 18 games at Fenway on Sunday. On the flip side, Tampa is 2-2 on Sundays this season, but just 5-12 in its last 17 games away from home on Sundays.

Sunday's streaking and slumping starting pitchers
By ********

Streaking

Edinson Volquez, Cincinnati Reds

Edinson Volquez is back in a groove and the Cincinnati Reds are certainly taking advantage.

After getting a strong effort from starting pitcher Aaron Harang in the middle game of this series, the Reds hope Volquez (4-2, 3.47) can follow up with a third straight dominant performance.

Volquez has rebounded nicely from a poor start with outstanding efforts in his last two outings, allowing no runs and winning each contest. He has not surrendered a run in his last 16 1-3 innings.

"He's not overthrowing as much," Cincinnati manager Dusty Baker said. "His velocity is down a couple of miles an hour, but his location is better, and he still has good velocity. When you're throwing strikes, you're going to get some swings on some bad pitches."

The right-hander gave up three hits and walked four while striking out seven in eight innings to lead Cincinnati to a 7-0 victory over Florida on Tuesday night.

Volquez is 1-1 with a 2.57 ERA in two career starts versus the Cardinals.

Tim Lincecum, San Francisco Giants

If the San Francisco Giants were worried about reigning NL Cy Young award-winner Tim Lincecum after his first two starts, they aren't anymore.

Despite his small frame and limited major league experience, Lincecum dazzled hitters in his first full season last year, going 18-5 with a 2.62 ERA. But he struggled through his first two starts of 2009, allowing seven runs and walking six in 8 1-3 innings.

Since then, he has recaptured his dominating form, going 3-0 with a 1.80 ERA and striking out 40 in 30 innings over his last four starts. Lincecum (3-1, 3.05 ERA) beat the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field on Tuesday, allowing two runs and four hits in seven innings of a 6-2 victory.

Lincecum's previous outing was a win over the Dodgers on April 29, as he moved to 3-0 with a 2.25 ERA in his career against Los Angeles. The right-hander allowed three runs in the eighth after seven shutout innings, but the Giants still cruised to a 9-4 victory.

"You always think the Dodgers are going to be a little bigger, because of the rivalry," Lincecum said. "But you always want to try to do the same things. ... Everything felt fine. Pitches were moving the way they were supposed to."

Slumping

Kyle Davies, Kansas City Royals

Kyle Davies (2-1, 5.88) looks to rebound from his shortest start of the season. After pitching at least five innings in each of his first five starts, the right-hander allowed six runs and eight hits through four innings Tuesday in Kansas City's 8-7, 11-inning win over the Chicago White Sox.

Davies has been hit hard in two of his past three starts, striking out four during that span after fanning 21 in his first three outings.

This will be his first career appearance against the Angels.

Torii Hunter is 5 for 11 with a home run and a double against Davies.

Josh Beckett, Boston Red Sox

Beckett dominated Tampa Bay on opening day, allowing two hits and one run in seven innings and striking out 10 in Boston's 5-3 win. But since then, he is 2-2 with an 8.13 ERA.

He's hoping Tuesday's start at Yankee Stadium was a good sign, as he allowed 10 hits in six innings but held the Yankees to three runs in a 7-3 win.

"Some laboring times, but I made pitches when I had to," Beckett said.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Chicago (16-14) at Milwaukee (18-13)

The Brewers look to complete a three-game series sweep of the rival Cubs when they send Jeff Suppan (2-2, 5.68 ERA) to the mound against Chicago?s Sean Marshall (0-2, 4.15) at Miller Park.

After scoring a come-from-behind 3-2 win on Friday, Milwaukee pounded out a 12-6 victory over the Cubs on Saturday. The Brewers have won 10 of their last 13 and 14 of their last 17 overall. Additionally, they?re on runs of 8-2 at home, 8-1 against N.L. Central rivals, 36-17 as a favorite (9-2 last 11 as a chalk) and 4-0 against lefty starters.

Although they?ve dropped the first two games of this series, the Cubs are still 6-3 in their last nine games, a run that comes on the heels of a 2-7 slump. Chicago is also 21-8 in its last 29 Sunday contests, but Lou Pineilla?s club has now lost seven straight contests as an underdog.

These teams have met five times this season ? all in Milwaukee ? with the Brewers holding a slim 3-2 advantage. Still, the Cubs are 9-6 in the last 15 battles overall and 8-5 in their last 13 at Miller Park.

Marshall followed up consecutive quality starts against the Cardinals and Marlins with a poor effort Tuesday against the Giants, allowing five runs in seven innings of a 6-2 home loss. Chicago is winless in Marshall?s last eight trips to the mound and they?re also 4-17 in his last 21 starts overall, 0-4 in his last four on the road, 1-5 in his last six against N.L. Central foes and 1-5 in his last six on Sunday.

Marshall?s lone road start this season came at St. Luis, and he gave up three runs in six innings, but lost 8-2. He?s also 1-2 with a 9.53 ERA in nine lifetime appearances (two starts) against the Brewers.

Suppan has allowed three earned runs or fewer in each of his last four starts, dropping his ERA from 12.81 to 5.68. He beat the Pirates 8-5 in Pittsburgh on Tuesday, giving up three runs in 5 2/3 innings. With Suppan on the bump, the Brewers are on runs of 4-0 overall, 7-2 when favored and 24-9 against division rivals, but they?ve lost five of his last six Sunday efforts.

Suppan is 0-1 with a 5.40 ERA in two starts at home, with the loss coming to the Cubs on April 12 when he lasted just 3 2/3 innings, yielding five runs on two hits and six walks in an 8-5 setback. He?s now 6-7 with a 3.87 ERA in 20 career starts against Chicago, including 1-2 with a 10.22 ERA in the last three.

The over is 4-0-1 in Marshall?s last five starts overall, but the under is 8-1-1 in his last 10 on the highway and 6-1-1 in his last eight against the N.L. Central. The under is also 4-1-1 in Suppan?s last six starts at Miller Park.

For Chicago, the ?over? is on streaks of 10-3-1 overall, 6-1-1 on the road, 12-5-1 as an underdog, 8-2 against right-handed starters and 9-4-2 against divisional rivals. The over is also 5-1 in Milwaukee?s last six overall and 7-2 in its last nine against N.L. Central foes. Lastly, in this rivalry, the over is on runs of 13-5-2 overall and 15-5-2 at Miller Park

AMERICAN LEAGUE

Tampa Bay (15-17) at Boston (19-12)

Josh Beckett (3-2, 6.75) faces the Rays for the third time this season while Matt Garza (3-2, 3.51) does the same against the Red Sox as these division rivals clash in the rubber match of a three-game series at Fenway Park.

Tampa Bay pounded out a 14-5 victory on Saturday at Fenway after dropping Friday?s series opener 7-3. The Rays have followed up a 4-11 slump by going 7-3 in their last 10. They?ve also won seven of their last 10 against the A.L. East and six of their last seven as an underdog.

Boston had a modest two-game winning streak snapped yesterday, but remains on impressive streaks of 17-6 overall, 76-33 at Fenway Park, 11-4 against division rivals, 12-5 against right-handed starters, 14-4 as a favorite and 16-3 when playing on grass.

The Rays lead the season series 6-3, winning three of the last four in Beantown. However, they?re still just 16-49 in their last 65 games at Fenway Park (playoffs included).

Garza limited Baltimore to three runs (two earned) over eight innings on Tuesday, winning 6-3 at home. Tampa Bay is 6-1 in Garza?s last seven starts against divisional foes and 4-0 in his last four as an underdog, but they?ve lost six of his last eight on the highway and four of his last five Sunday starts.

The Rays are unbeaten in Garza?s last six starts against the Red Sox (playoffs included). That includes a 4-3 win at Boston on April 9 and a 13-0 rout at home on April 30. In those two contests, Garza surrendered a total of one run, five hits and four walks while striking out 15 over 14 2/3 innings. Over his last four starts versus the Red Sox (two in the playoffs), Garza is 4-0 with a 0.98 ERA.

After two straight dreadful outings (15 earned runs allowed in 9 2/3 innings), Beckett settled down on Tuesday at new Yankee Stadium, yielding three runs in six innings of a 7-3 victory. Still, the veteran right-hander has given up 10 hits in each of his last three trips to the hill, going 1-1 with a 10.34 ERA. That includes the 13-0 loss to Garza and the Rays on April 30, when Beckett gave up seven runs in 4 2/3 innings. With that poor performance, the veteran right-hander dropped to 7-5 with a 4.21 ERA in 14 career starters (including playoffs) against Tampa Bay.

At home this year, Beckett is 2-0 with a 6.00 ERA in three starts, with Boston willing all three games, including a 5-3 victory over the Rays on Opening Day this season. In fact, despite Beckett?s recent struggles, the Red Sox have still won five of his last seven starts dating to last year?s playoffs and they?re 5-2 in his last seven starts against Tampa Bay at Fenway.

For Tampa Bay, the ?under? is on stretches of 11-5 as an underdog, 4-1-1 when Garza pitches on the highway and 4-1 in Garza works on Sunday, but the over is 35-17-2 in the team?s last 54 contests against right-handed starters. The Red Sox ?over? trends of 20-7-3 overall (8-2-2 last 12), 7-2-1 at home, 12-3-2 against losing teams, 7-2-2 against right-handed starters and 5-0 with Becket on the mound. However, the under is 9-1-1 in Boston?s last 11 Sunday contests.
