New York Mets vs. Colorado Rockies Probable Pitchers
- New York Mets: TBD
- Colorado Rockies: Tomoyuki Sugano
- Time: 5:40 PM ET
Sugano continues to be extremely lucky on the mound, as his 2.84 ERA is nowhere near his xERA of 5.35 and a 4.73 FIP.
Boston Red Sox vs. Detroit Tigers Probable Pitchers
- Boston Red Sox: Payton Tolle
- Detroit Tigers: Tarik Skubal
- Time: 6:40 PM ET
Tolle has been great for the Red Sox and even better when you look at his advanced stats. His 3.38 ERA comes with an xERA of 1.80 and a 2.96 FIP. Skubal has seen a slight dip in his strikeout numbers thus far but he’s still averaging over a strikeout per inning with a 9.3 K/9.
Philadelphia Phillies vs. Miami Marlins Probable Pitchers
- Philadelphia Phillies: Aaron Nola
- Miami Marlins: Janson Junk
- Time: 6:40 PM ET
Nola is coming off yet another rough outing, as the Athletics tagged him for six runs on six hits through 4.2 innings. Junk isn’t overpowering hitters but his 3.00 ERA and xERA of 3.56 shows he’s been effective, even with inducing a lot of contact.
Toronto Blue Jays vs. Tampa Bay Rays Probable Pitchers
- Toronto Blue Jays: Eric Lauer
- Tampa Bay Rays: Nick Martinez
- Time: 6:40 PM ET
Lauer looks as if he’s been pitching well lately, but he has at least a 4.66 xERA in three straight starts. Martinez is currently allowing the lowest hard-hit rate of his career at 29.8%.
Baltimore Orioles vs. New York Yankees Probable Pitchers
- Baltimore Orioles: Shane Baz
- New York Yankees: Cam Schlittler
- Time: 7:05 PM ET
Baz is coming off one of his best outings of the season, tossing 5.2 innings against the Astros, allowing one run on six hits and six strikeouts. Schlittler continues to pitch at a Cy Young level, having allowed only one run over his last three starts against the Royals, Red Sox and Rangers.
Cincinnati Reds vs. Chicago Cubs Probable Pitchers
- Cincinnati Reds: TBD
- Chicago Cubs: Edward Cabrera
- Time: 7:40 PM ET
Cabrera has allowed exactly three runs in four straight starts but has earned a win in two of them.
Cleveland Guardians vs. Kansas City Royals Probable Pitchers
- Cleveland Guardians: Tanner Bibee
- Kansas City Royals: Michael Wacha
- Time: 7:40 PM ET
Bibee has gotten back on track after allowing eight runs to the Braves. Since then he’s made three starts and has allowed only three runs through 17 innings. Wacha has been hit hard over his last two starts, allowing 10 runs on 15 hits through 10.1 innings.

Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Houston Astros Probable Pitchers
- Los Angeles Dodgers: Yoshinobu Yamamoto
- Houston Astros: Steven Okert
- Time: 8:10 PM ET
Yamamoto is averaging well below a strikeout per inning this season, as his 7.6 K/9 is far below his career average of 10.1. Okert will serve as the Astros opener for this game and likely won’t throw more than an inning.
Chicago White Sox vs. Los Angeles Angels Probable Pitchers
- Chicago White Sox: Davis Martin
- Los Angeles Angels: Jose Soriano
- Time: 9:38 PM ET
Martin has been extremely lucky on the mound, as his 1.95 ERA comes with an xERA of 4.55 and 48% hard-hit rate. Soriano gave up the most runs of any start this season in his last matchup against the White Sox with three. On the season, he’s still only allowed four total runs through 42.2 innings.
Atlanta Braves vs. Seattle Mariners Probable Pitchers
- Atlanta Braves: JR Ritchie
- Seattle Mariners: Logan Gilbert
- Time: 9:40 PM ET
Ritchie will be making his third start of his career, and has allowed five runs (four earned) on 10 hits against the Tigers and Nationals. Gilbert has been hit hard by righties to this point, as he owns a .365 wOBA against them.

Vasquez is likely due for regression soon, indicated by his xERA of 5.07 and a 2.94 ERA.
