    Royals at Indians Preview
    By Jeff Mezydlo, STATS Senior Writer
    6/18/2013

    (AP) -- After a rough start to June, the Cleveland Indians have managed to turn things around.

    They'll again have a chance to surpass the .500 mark Wednesday night against the Kansas City Royals.

    Cleveland (35-35) opened June with a 5-0 win over Tampa Bay, then dropped a season-high eight in a row. Since then, the Indians have won five of seven and are in position to win a third consecutive series. They're also trying to move past the break-even mark for the first time since they were 30-29 on June 5.

    Michael Brantley's sacrifice fly capped a three-run eighth inning Tuesday that helped Cleveland rally for a 4-3 win over Kansas City (34-35), which lost for the third time in 14 games.

    "I won't say we needed it, but we ...

    Dodgers at Yankees Preview
    By The Associated Press
    6/18/2013

    (AP) -- The return of one of the greatest players in New York Yankees' history has been pushed back one day.

    Don Mattingly's Dodgers will play a day-night doubleheader Wednesday at Yankee Stadium, the first meeting between these storied franchises in the Bronx since Los Angeles clinched the 1981 World Series.

    Rain postponed the scheduled opener of the two-game series Tuesday night, delaying the managerial debut at Yankee Stadium of Mattingly, one of the biggest fan favorites when he was captain of the Yankees.

    Mattingly, a six-time All-Star, nine-time Gold Glove winner and the 1985 AL MVP, had his No. 23 retired to Monument Park after playing his entire 14-year career with New York. The former first baseman returned to the Yankees in 2004 as a coach under ...

    MLB Betting: Give Me Some Relief!
    6/16/2013

    Starting pitchers in baseball get much of the attention (and money) thrown their way. The average starter is asked to go 6-7 innings, while aces are expected to give 7-8 quality innings. Many games are decided in the last three innings, however, making relief pitchers an extremely important, and often overlooked, element. The Boston Red Sox had a train wreck 2012 season under one-and-done manager Bobby Valentine. 2013 has been completely different under John Farrell and there’s little doubt what has turned the tables: pitching. The Red Sox were a top 8 team in runs scored in 2012 and they are first this season despite trading away Adrian Gonzalez. But Boston was awful on the mound last year, 27th in team ERA. This season: 12th in team ERA. Farrell was their former pitching coach when they won World Series titles in 2004 and 2007, so he’s familiar with Jon Lester and Clay Buchholz, both who are enjoying great bounce back seasons. What stands out is strikeouts: Boston ranked 20th last year, now they are second behind the Tigers. They loaded up on relievers in the offseason to upgrade a bad pen and that, despite injuries, has paid huge....
