Betting insights
- Wheeler (2.72 ERA, 0.98 WHIP) tops the NL Cy Young odds board. Philadelphia has won nine of his last 13 starts, eight of which came by two-plus runs. Shota Imanaga is in the mix to win NL Rookie of the Year and has been spectacular outside of two bad starts (10 ER vs. Mets, 7 ER vs. Brewers).
- The Astros are 10-2 in their last 12 games and have scored five-plus runs in nine of those contests. Houston is hitting .330 with a 130 wRC+ against lefties in that span and gets Yusei Kikuchi (4.18 ERA) tonight.
- Chris Sale (2.79 ERA) has posted seven quality starts in his last nine tries for the Atlanta Braves. He's also held the San Francisco Giants to a collective .218 BA and 29.4% K rate in 34 plate appearances, per Baseball Savant. San Francisco is 17-25 on the road.
- The New York Mets are a league-best 18-8 since June 1, batting a collective .317 with a 167 wRC+ against LHP in that span (both best in MLB). They'll get Washington Nationals rookie southpaw Mitchell Parker (3.32 ERA).
- The Orioles sit atop the AL East after winning five of their last six games. They play a Seattle Mariners squad that is 3-7 in their last 10 games while averaging just 3.3 runs.
