We're back to a full allotment of MLB games tonight, with every team in action from coast to coast.

The latest: The Arizona Diamondbacks have played themselves into the heart of wild-card contention, and Eduardo Rodriguez — making his season debut tonight — hopes to help that cause. Elsewhere, the Minnesota Twins look to build on a league-high win streak (five games) and the Houston Astros look to end a run of futility.

Check out the latest MLB odds for Tuesday, Aug. 6.

Betting insights

  • Rodriguez signed with the Diamondbacks in December and sustained a shoulder injury in March. After a long road of rehab, he's back tonight to aid in the playoff push. The southpaw posted a career-low 3.30 ERA last year, and he went 4-0 with a 0.63 ERA against the Guardians.
  • Baltimore is No. 1 in MLB in overs rate (61.5%), while Toronto is tied for fifth (56.0%). They've combined for double-digit runs in four of their past five matchups.
  • The Astros have lost three in a row against the Rangers, and each of those games totalled seven or fewer runs. Framber Valdez, who starts for Houston tonight, has a 2.95 ERA in his past seven starts (and double-digit strikeouts in three of his past four).
  • Pablo Lopez has allowed two or fewer runs in six of his past seven starts, and he has an 11.3 K/9 in that span. His Twins have won by three-plus runs in every game of their five-game win streak.
