Houston Adds Worley At Tonight

Baseball Betting Lines

The Nationals won two of three when the clubs last met in Washington in 2005, though the Angels returned the favor by winning a series at home in '08.

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Texas Rangers try to continue their mastery of the Houston Astros this evening when the Lone Star State rivals resume a three- game set at Minute Maid Park. The Rangers have won four straight Silver Boot trophies, awarded annually to the victor in the interleague matchup between the two clubs each year. It hasn't been much of a rivalry, though, lately, as Texas took two of three from the Astros earlier in the year and has won the season series in each of the last two years by a 5-1 margin, while compiling a 13-3 mark against their in- state rivals since the start of the 2009 campaign.

 

Josh Hamilton and Mitch Moreland also blasted solo home runs while Yorvit Torrealba added an RBI double for the Rangers, who have won six of their past 10 contests overall.

 

Jordan Lyles (0-3) worked six innings in defeat for Houston, giving up five runs on 10 hits.

 

"It just didn't fall my way tonight," Lyles said. "I don't know what the ball- strike ratio was tonight, but it couldn't have been good."

 

Lewis has faced the Astros six times (three starts) and is 1-1 with a 1.78 ERA.

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - When the Phillies signed Cliff Lee in the offseason, they envisioned him being part of a rotation of four aces that would carry them into October. After Lee did his part in Tuesday's opener of this highly-anticipated set with the Boston Red Sox, Philadelphia turns to its wild card tonight in Vance Worley.

 

Philadelphia opened the season with a star-studded rotation of Lee, Roy Halladay, Cole Hamels, Roy Oswalt and Joe Blanton, but both Oswalt and Blanton are currently on the disabled list. That has given the young Worley a chance to start and he has responded with two solid outings since joining the rotation on June 18.

 

The Red Sox will be happy to face any other pitcher than Lee, who hurled his third straight shutout in last night's 5-0 Phillies victory. The former Cy Young Award winner took a no-hitter into the sixth inning and allowed two hits and two walks to finish June with a 5-0 mark and 0.21 ERA.

 

The 32-year-old also set a new career high in consecutive scoreless innings, extending it to 32, and became the first Phils hurler since Robin Roberts in 1950 to throw three straight shutouts.

 

The Phillies, who lost four of six to the Red Sox last season, bested Boston for just the sixth time in the last 23 meetings.
