Games of the Day

Charlie Morton takes on Eduardo Rodriguez as the Astros continue their series with the Red Sox. Morton owns a 27-10 record since joining the Astros after going 46-71 in the rest of his career. Rodriguez allowed just three of his 12 home runs at Fenway this season.

Walker Buehler and Kyle Freeland square off as the Dodgers and Rockies vie for first place in the NL West. The rookie Buehler struck out 115 batters in 104 2/3 innings while walking just 28. Freeland may deserve the NL Cy Young award for posting a 2.96 ERA while pitching 43% of his games at Coors Field.

Julio Teheran faces Clay Buchholz as the Braves and Diamondbacks battle in Arizona. Teheran allowed just 110 hits in 153 1/3 innings, but comes into the game with a 4.05 ERA. A high percentage of the hits against him went for extra bases, and a relatively high percentage of those came with men on base. Buchholz made 2/3 of his starts away from home this season, but is 3-0 with a 2.79 ERA in Arizona.

Enjoy!
