WEATHER
Dodgers at Red Sox — Rain here will be increasing throughout the game. Dodgers could run into another ‘suspended’ mid game scenario since MLB loves to do that now.
KODAI SENGA
Well there’s no Trout and while Ohtani says he is playing as a DH I don’t know that Senga will make a mistake to his friend here today.
MITCH KELLER
I expect Keller to finish the season strong like he started it. His SwStr% has gone back up over 10% each of the last three starts with a 38.8% CSW against the Twins in his last outing. Velocity and command both being good will do that & the Cubs aren’t a team that has seen him all season long — which is unusual given the divisional correlation.
DYLAN CEASE
Last night’s chalk Oakland which went off late is probably the most reliable option to attack as a third choice. Cease will have big time success with his slider tonight.
CARDINALS / PHILLIES
Arenado, Goldy
Turner, Stott
The Phillies are playing GREAT baseball now with Schwarber back alive, Turner hitting well and Harper delivering when they need him too. But it’s Arenado/Goldschmidt who really stand out to me in this game. Goldy will do it off Sanchez, Arenado does it mid-game.
ORIOLES
Rutschman, Hays, Westburg
RHH are slugging .528 off Freeland, he doesn’t project to have a strikeout advantage over 7 of the hitters and Baltimore likely rolls out a few crooked numbers early here.
GUARDIANS
Ramirez, Gimenez, Calhoun
Also good spots
- Dodgers vs Red Sox: Rain is the biggest fear here. Hey, Mookie! How about that. Hey Verdugo! hey Turner! Adam Duvall is on one of his little heaters at the moment. LHH rock Lynn the most historically so couple those two with the rest of this lineup and I can see this being a 6-3 game when they suspend it in the third inning.
- Padres: Soto, Machado
- Diamondbacks: Very under the radar, more of a late slate donkey spot but I don’t trust Hunter Greene vs this team.
