Betting insights
- The Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox wrap up their series in Fenway Park with the red-hot Bowden Francis pitching for the visitors. Francis has a 1.33 ERA in his last four starts and just threw 8.0 no-hit innings his last time out. Boston counters with Kutter Crawford (4.19 ERA).
- Philadelphia holds a five-game lead over Atlanta in the NL East standings but the pesky Braves won’t go away. They’re 8-2 in the last 10 games while the Phillies are 5-5. Charlie Morton (4.24 ERA) gets the ball for Atlanta opposite Cristopher Sanchez (3.51 ERA).
- The Royals are one game up in the AL Central while the Astros have a comfier 3.5-game lead in the AL West. Getting something out of this series will be huge for either team. Brady Singer (3.38 ERA) and Hunter Brown (3.72 ERA) have both been pitching well and the game total is tied for the lowest on the slate.
- Baltimore is one game behind the New York Yankees after a very mediocre run. The O’s are 10-10 in their last 20 games while scoring just 3.9 runs per game in their last 10. They should have a chance to get after Bobby Miller (7.49 ERA) tonight, though.
