Betting insights

The AL Cy Young favourite Tarik Skubal battles L.A.'s monster of a lineup in what should be a fantastic duel. Detroit's ace is posting a 10-3 record with a 2.37 ERA and a 0.90 WHIP. The Dodgers rank tied for fourth in runs scored per game (4.9) and are first in OBP (.334) and OPS (.769).

Gerrit Cole (6.75 ERA) makes his fifth start of the season and continues to try and build back after returning from the IL. The righty hasn't posted higher than a 3.50 ERA in any season since 2018. Is his mid-season 'spring training' finally over?

The Blue Jays will see some former teammates when they begin their series in Arizona. Currently sitting last in the AL East, Toronto is looking for its third straight series win to help climb out of the division's basement.

The Philadelphia Phillies will send Ranger Suarez (2.58 ERA) to the mound against the struggling Oakland Athletics. He sits with the third shortest odds to win the NL Cy Young at +1,000. Only Chris Sale (+125) and teammate Zach Wheeler (+100) have shorter odds.
