Enjoy our breakdown on our hot and cold pitchers which will give you a look at two featured hot pitchers going on the current day along with a struggling pitcher featured that I believe will come with a solid start. Friday has a record number of hot starting pitchers with 12 hurlers going with ERA's in their last 5 starts under 3.00! Hot Starters: Phil Hughes (3-0, 25 IP, 1.44 era, 0.88 WHIP) Hughes will go up against the Yankees biggest rival in what should be a very good series and it will be key for the Red Sox. The Sox will send their struggling start Josh Beckett to the hill who has really gotten hit hard by the Yankees as of late. The Yankees are an amazing 60-22 in their last 82 vs. RH starter with their heavy hitting left handed line up. Hughes has been terrific in 4 starts this year and has gotten better in each start. However, he has struggled in his career against the Red Sox. However, the Sox have not been themselves this season although they did score 11 runs last night. Along with that Phil Hughes really has impressed a lot of people. Add in the fact that Beckett has given up 13 ER in his last two starts vs. the Yankees and you may have some nice value with the Yankees as small under dogs. David Price (3-1, 2.34 ERA, 1.01 WHIP) Price and the Rays have been super hot this season and have the leagues best record. It's been all about their pitching as their hitters really have not had to hit in the clutch. The A's have never faced Price and the A's are coming off an off day where they are 15-41 in their last 56 after an off day. Price is a -150 favorite, but I believe it's too much against a solid lefty in Gio Gonzalez who can throw a solid game even against the Rays. The A's overall have a .239 average and 4.19 runs per 9 vs. LHP so they can definitely put some runs on the board against lefties, but are extremely streaky. If anything I stay away from this line as Price is still unproven on the road. In 12 career starts on the road he has a 5.45 ERA compared to his 2.90 home ERA. Honorable Mention L5 Starts Chris Carpenter (3-0, 32 IP, 2.81 ERA 36K's) Mike Pelfrey (3-1, 24 IP, 2.25 ERA, 1.33 WHIP) Carlos Silva (31 IP, 2.90 ERA, 1.00 WHIP) Huroke Kuroda (34.2 IP, 2.08 ERA, 1.12 WHIP) Yovani Gallardo (29 IP, 2.79 ERA, 1.34 WHIP) CJ Wilson (2-1, 32.2 IP, 1.65 ERA, 1.19 WHIP) Francisco Liriano (36 IP, 1.50 ERA, 1.08 WHIP) Shaun Marcum (33.1 IP, 2.97 ERA, 1.23 WHIP) Jered Weaver (30.2 IP, 2.93 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, 34 K's) Felix Hernandez (34 IP, 2.91 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, 32K's) Cold Starters: Mark Buehrle (1-4, 30.1 IP, 6.53 ERA, 1.62 WHIP) Watch out on this game. You'll see most of the public on the Blue Jays especially since you see Marcum on our hot starter list, but I would not be backing Marcum in this spot and that's probably the reason why you say Buehrle as a favorite. In his last 5 home starts vs. the White Sox dating back to 2004 he's got a 1.75 ERA in 36.1 IP. Buehrle has struggled as of late of course with a 8.27 ERA over his last three starts, but this is a perfect time to get a quality start in as the Blue Jays are now 0-5 in their last 5 vs. LH starters. Blue Jays scoring just 2.51 runs per 9 innings in their last 5 games with a .204 average. A solid start from Buehrle won't necessarily mean a win for Chicago as their bullpen has been costing most of their losses with a 7.20 ERA in their last 5. Ice Cold: Edwin Jackson (27.1 IP, 8.56 ERA, 1.87 WHIP) Bud Norris (1-3, 22.1 IP, 7.25 ERA, 1.97 WHIP, *26K's) Zach Duke (1-3, 29 IP, 6.52 ERA, 1.72 WHIP)
