Betting insights

  • The Twins took two of the first three games against Cleveland but are stuck with a pitching disadvantage today. Tanner Bibee (9-4, 3.48 ERA) has been solid all season and is scheduled to start this important game for the Guardians. Opposite him will be Twins rookie David Festa (2-2, 5.55 ERA).
  • San Diego is 16-2 over its last 18 games and has the chance to sweep another series today against the struggling Marlins. NL Cy Young contender Dylan Cease (11-8, 3.40 ERA) gets the call for the Padres.
  • Speaking of the NL West, the Dodgers host the Pirates and also have a chance for the sweep. Tyler Glasnow (9-6, 3.54 ERA) starts for L.A. and Bailey Falter (5-7, 3.87 ERA) takes the mound for Pittsburgh. Every game feels like a must-win for the Dodgers right now with the Padres hot on their tails.
  • The most intriguing pitching matchup on Sunday is in Arizona. Christopher Sanchez (8-7, 3.27 ERA) aims to keep the D-backs’ high-scoring offence (first in runs per game) at bay while Merrill Kelly (2-0, 2.19 ERA) makes a return from a lengthy injured list stint for his fifth start of the year. He is welcomed by a potent Phillies offence.
