They sit 2.5 games back of the Cleveland Guardians after last night&#8217;s 3-2 loss to the Houston Astros. KC tries to get it back tonight with Cole Ragans (3.28 ERA) on the mound. Yusei Kikuchi (4.39 ERA) starts opposite him.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves host another exciting pitching duel. Zack Wheeler (2.75 ERA) gets the call for Philly but it won&#8217;t be easy against Max Fried (3.50 ERA) and the streaking Braves. Atlanta is 7-2 in its last nine games, making the NL East an interesting race.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Another 19-run explosion seems unlikely in Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks, but it&#8217;s always a possibility with these two high-powered offences. Arizona scores the most runs per game (5.4) and L.A. the third most (5.0). Merrill Kelly (3.98 ERA) and Gavin Stone (3.33 ERA) could limit the runs tonight, but I wouldn&#8217;t be sure of it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Seattle Mariners continue to rely on their strong pitching, which may be needed again tonight. Tyler Anderson (3.41 ERA) is having a strong season for the Los Angeles Angels but to nobody&#8217;s surprise, Seattle still carries the advantage. Exciting sophomore Bryan Woo (2.05 ERA) gets the call for the Mariners.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the weekend comes a loaded slate of MLB games to enjoy.
