Tuesday's Tip Sheet
By Brad Young

The long holiday weekend is over, but there is still a full slate of baseball games listed on Tuesday?s schedule. Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer, but the All-Star Break is still a month and a half away. Now let?s take a closer look at some of Tuesday?s key contests.

**Cardinals (Wainwright) at Brewers (Suppan)**

-Las Vegas Sports Consultants list Milwaukee as a $1.07 home ?chalk? over St. Louis, with the total set at 8 ? ?over? (minus $1.20). This National League Central contest is scheduled to start at 8:05 p.m. ET.

-St. Louis hurler Adam Wainwright (4-2, 3.41 ERA) ended a personal two-game losing streak by upending Chicago Thursday as a $1.35 home favorite, 3-1. The towering 6-foot-7 hurler tossed 8 2/3 innings, yielding the lone run on five hits with a walk and seven strikeouts.

-The combined four runs failed to topple the 8 ?-run closing total, enabling the ?under? to cash his second consecutive contest.

-Wainwright fell to the Brewers May 16 as a $1.45 home ?chalk,? 1-0, going eight innings while allowing the lone run on just two hits (one home run) with two walks and seven strikeouts.

-The lone run never seriously threatened the nine-run closing total.

-Milwaukee right-hander Jeff Suppan (3-3, 4.71 ERA) is coming off of Thursday?s no-decision against Houston. The 34-year-old was reached for three runs on eight hits (two home runs) with four walks and two strikeouts over five innings.

-The Brewers eventually won that contest as a $1.38 road underdog, 4-3, while the combined seven runs went ?under? the 8 ?-run closing total. The ?under? is 4-1 his previous five outings.

-Suppan won that May 16 matchup with Wainwright and the Cardinals by pitching seven scoreless innings while allowing six hits with two walks and two strikeouts.

**Dodgers (Milton) at Rockies (Cook)**

-LVSC installed Colorado as a $1.55 home favorite over Los Angeles, with the total set at 10 ?over? (minus $1.25). This NL West affair is slated to start at 8:40 p.m. ET.

-Los Angeles left-hander Eric Milton (0-0, 4.50 ERA) is making just his second start of the year after picking up a no-decision against Florida May 16. The former Maryland Terrapin was making his first start since 2007, lasting four innings against the Marlins while surrendering two runs on two hits with four walks and three strikeouts.

-The Dodgers eventually dropped that contest as a $1.10 road underdog, 6-3, while the combined nine runs went ?under? the 10-run closing total.

-Needless to say, Milton has not started against the Rockies the previous few years.

-Colorado pitcher Aaron Cook (3-1, 4.68 ERA) continued his winning ways by beating Atlanta Thursday as a $1.28 road underdog, 9-0. The right-hander went the complete-game route, yielding just four hits with a walk and three strikeouts. The nine runs landed directly on the closing total.

-Cook is 0-1 against the Dodgers this season in two starts, going a combined 10 innings while being reached for eight runs on 15 hits (three home runs) with eight walks and six strikeouts. The Rockies fell as a $1.55 road underdog, 9-5, and as a $1.23 home favorite, 6-5. The ?over? cashed in both games.

**Tigers (Jackson) at Royals (Greinke)**

-LVSC opened Kansas City as a $1.75 home ?chalk? over Detroit, with the total listed at eight ?under? (minus $1.15). This American League Central matchup is scheduled to begin at 8:10 p.m. ET.

-Detroit?s Edwin Jackson (4-2, 2.55 ERA) is riding a personal three-game winning streak after dispatching Texas Thursday as a $1.43 home favorite, 4-3. The 25-year-old went eight innings, allowing three runs on seven hits (one home run) with five walks and seven strikeouts.

-The combined seven runs failed to eclipse the 8 ?-run closing total, helping the ?under? improve to 2-1 his last three starts.

-Jackson, a seven-year veteran, went 2-0 against the Royals last season in two starts. The right-hander went a combined 13 innings, surrendering four runs (three earned) on six hits (three home runs) with three walks and four strikeouts. The Tigers prevailed as a $1.60 home ?chalk,? 11-2, and as a $1.10 road favorite, 5-3.

-Kansas City ace pitcher Zack Greinke (7-1, 0.82 ERA) received a no-decision for Thursday?s effort against Cleveland. The six-year veteran was reached for two runs on eight hits with two walks and eight strikeouts over six innings.

-The Royals eventually dropped that affair as a $2.00 home ?chalk,? 8-3, while the combined 11 runs eclipsed the eight-run closing total. The ?over? has cashed his past two starts.

-Greinke beat the Tigers April 24 as a $1.63 home favorite, 6-1, going the complete-game route while yielding an unearned run on three hits with a walk and 10 strikeouts. The combined seven runs went ?under? the 8 ?-run closing total.

**White Sox (Colon) at Angels (Saunders)**

-LVSC lists Los Angeles as a $1.83 home favorite over Chicago, with the total set at 8 ? ?under? (minus $1.20). This contest is slated to start at 10:05 p.m. ET.

-Chicago hurler Bartolo Colon (2-4, 4.23 ERA) is searching for his first victory in a month after going 0-3 his past four performances. The veteran right-hander was roughed up by Minnesota Thursday as a $1.05 home ?pick,? 20-1, lasting just two innings while surrendering eight runs (one earned) on seven hits (two home runs) with two walks and a strikeout.

-The combined 21 runs soared ?over? the 9 ?-run closing total, ending a string of five straight ?under? outings for the 36-year-old.

-Colon, pitching in the league since 1997, has not started against the Angels the past few years.

-Los Angeles southpaw Joe Saunders (6-2, 3.17 ERA) toppled Seattle in his latest effort Thursday as a $1.10 road underdog, 3-0. The Virginia Tech product tossed seven scoreless innings on four hits with three walks and three strikeouts.

-The three runs failed to topple the 7 ?-run closing total, enabling the ?under? to improve to 3-1 his last four outings.

-Saunders went 2-0 against the White Sox last season in two starts, going a combined 15 2/3 innings while yielding just three runs on seven hits (two home runs) with four walks and eight strikeouts. The Angels prevailed as a $1.02 road underdog, 3-1, and as a $1.25 road ?dog, 3-2. The ?under? prevailed in both matchups.

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

Streaking

Matt Garza (Tampa Bay Rays)

Matt Garza (4-2, 3.41) also started that game, allowing two runs and five hits over six innings to earn the victory, and now squares off against Pavano again. Garza had been 0-3 with a 6.12 ERA in his previous five starts versus Cleveland.

The right-hander is 3-0 with a 2.29 ERA in his last five starts. He did not get a decision Thursday as he allowed two runs and struck out eight over 6 2-3 innings of a 6-5 win over Oakland.

Zack Greinke (Kansas City Royals)

Greinke (7-1, 0.82 ERA) was dominant in winning his first six starts, but Kansas City (22-23) has lost two of the last three times he has taken the mound. He did not get a decision for the first time Thursday when he yielded two runs over six innings in an 8-3 loss to Cleveland.

He has yet to allow a homer, continues to lead the majors in ERA and has gone 19 straight innings versus Detroit (25-18) without allowing an earned run. He is seeking his second win over the Tigers this year after pitching a three-hitter April 24 in a 6-1 victory.

The right-hander is 8-4 with a 3.04 ERA in 15 career starts against Detroit, and has held the Tigers' Magglio Ordonez and Curtis Granderson in check. Ordonez is 4 for 31 (.129) against Greinke and Granderson is 4 for 25 (.160).

Four of Greinke's wins this season have followed losses by the Royals, who were beaten 13-1 to open this series Monday.

Slumping

Joe Blanton (Philadelphia Phillies)

Philadelphia counters with Joe Blanton (2-3, 7.11). He's 0-2 with an 8.87 ERA in four home starts after going 3-0 with a 3.48 ERA in eight outings in Philadelphia last year, including a Game 4 win in the World Series.

Blanton got a win Thursday as the Phillies beat Cincinnati 12-5 even though he failed to pitch past the fifth inning and allowed at least five runs for the fourth time in eight starts.

Opposing batters are hitting .308 against Blanton, whose only two career outings against Florida came in September and he won both despite a 5.40 ERA.

Ian Snell (Pittsburgh Pirates)

Chicago could have a good chance to halt the slide when it faces the struggling Ian Snell (1-5, 4.88 ERA). He is 1-5 with a 6.70 ERA in nine starts against the Cubs.

Snell is 0-3 with a 5.23 ERA in his last six starts since beating Atlanta on April 18. The right-hander allowed three runs and four hits while striking out six in six innings Thursday, but didn't factor in the decision for a second straight start, a 5-4 loss at Washington.

The Pirates could be without closer Matt Capps, who left Monday's game in the ninth inning after being struck on his pitching elbow by a line drive off the bat of Geovany Soto. Capps has converted nine of 11 save attempts.

Returning

Ricky Romero (Toronto Blue Jays)

When Ricky Romero went on the disabled list, the Toronto Blue Jays were sprinting through the first two weeks of the season and were the surprise team atop the AL East despite an ailing staff.

The rookie starter will return Tuesday night, but he'll be rejoining a Blue Jays team that's dropped seven in a row - all on the road - to fall out of first place.

Set to make his fourth career start, Romero will try to help Toronto avoid tying its longest road losing streak in seven seasons as it continues a three-game series with the Baltimore Orioles.

The highly touted left-hander, the sixth overall pick in the 2005 draft, won his major league debut April 9 against Detroit and pitched seven scoreless innings in a victory over Oakland on April 19. A strained right oblique, however, landed Romero (2-0, 1.71 ERA) on the disabled list the next day, joining fellow injured starters Jesse Litsch, Shaun Marcum and Dustin McGowan.

Debuting

Jason Berken (Baltimore Orioles)

Baltimore is expected to promote Jason Berken to start Tuesday's game, which would be his major league debut. The 25-year-old right-hander is 2-0 with a 1.05 ERA in five starts for Triple-A Norfolk this season.
