Betting insights
- Milwaukee is hoping to earn a split in its four-game series with Los Angeles after winning, 5-4, last night. The Brewers send Tobias Myers (2.79 ERA) to the mound and the Dodgers counter with Jack Flaherty (2.97 ERA).
- The San Francisco Giants started its series against Atlanta just 1.5 games back of the final NL wild-card spot. That gap has ballooned to 4.5 games as the Braves go for the four-game sweep. Max Fried (3.56 ERA) gets the ball for the Braves while Logan Webb (3.32 ERA) goes for the Giants.
- The Orioles can tie the Yankees for first in the AL East with a win over the Red Sox. Boston, meanwhile, is fighting to keep pace in the AL wild-card race as it currently sits two games back. Nick Pivetta (4.44 ERA) will do battle with Zach Eflin (3.83 ERA).
- Atlanta is six games back of the NL East-leading Philadelphia Phillies, who are sending ace Zack Wheeler to the mound in a matchup with the Washington Nationals. The Phillies are the biggest betting favourite of the day.
