Betting insights
- Toronto resumed its game against the Red Sox, which began on June 26, and won before also beating the Sox in the second leg of Monday's doubleheader. Only one of those wins counted toward the Blue Jays' active five-game streak. The Jays are hot, leading MLB in home runs, SLG and wRC+ over the last 14 days.
- It took a while but Cole looks like a Cy Young-calibre arm again. The righty has posted a 1.17 ERA through four starts in August with back-to-back 6.0 IP shutout outings. New York is heavily favoured to beat the Washington Nationals, who start Patrick Corbin (5.73 ERA).
- The Arizona Diamondbacks hold the pole position in the NL wild-card race while the New York Mets are three games out of the final spot. Arizona has won six games in a row, scoring 7.5 runs per game.
- Los Angeles (+350) and Baltimore (+650) hold the shortest and fourth-shortest odds to win the World Series. Tonight, the O's start Cole Irvin (4.82 ERA) opposite the Dodgers' Jack Flaherty (3.00). The latter is 3-0 with a no-decision since joining L.A.
