Betting insights
- New York is 5-15 in its last 20 games. That's the worst record of any team in MLB in that span. Cole started three of those games and won his last, throwing a season-high 90 pitches while allowing one earned run in 5.0 IP against the Toronto Blue Jays. He went 0-2 against Boston last year.
- Houston has won three straight games and is a league-best 21-9 since June 1. The Astros have the second-best batting average (.281) and seventh-best wRC+ (122) in that span. The only team with a better BA? The Twins.
- The Blue Jays bats have gone quiet again. Toronto has lost five of its last six games and is averaging just 1.6 runs per game in those defeats.
- Gerrit Crochet (3.02 ERA) starts for the Chicago White Sox against the Miami Marlins. Miami has the third-worst wRC+ versus LHP (81) this season.
- The San Diego Padres are 8-2 in their last 10 while averaging 6.4 runs per game. They take on Brandon Pfaadt and the Arizona Diamondback. San Diego is hitting .343 against Pfaadt in 72 plate appearances, per Baseball Savant.
