The Yankees send Gerrit Cole against Cardinals starter and former teammate Jordan Montgomery. Cole owns the third highest K rate in the majors since the Yankees acquired him in 2020 (min 350 innings). Note that his BB rate is superior to the two pitchers in front of him, Blake Snell and Shohei Ohtani. Montgomery stands 11-10 with a 3.35 ERA since the trade to the Cardinals last season. He allowed just 15 home runs in 155 2/3 innings.

Zac Gallen goes for his eleventh win as he leads the Diamondbacks against the Angels and Reid Detmers. Gallen’s three true outcomes are all good, but his walks are particularly low, with just 22 issued in 104 1/3 innings. Detmers holds a 3.77 ERA for the second season in a row. His record stands at 1-5 after going 7-6 in 2022. The Angels scored two runs or less in six of his 14 starts. On top of that, Angels relievers own a 5.91 ERA in his starts, blowing three of six save opportunities.

The Sunday night game features the Giants at the Mets, and may be the slugfest of the day. Ross Stripling of the Giants owns a 6.88 ERA and allowed ten home runs in 35 1/3 innings. David Peterson of the Mets comes in with a 7.00 ERA and allowed eight home runs in 45 innings. The Mets offense ranks fourth in the NL with 103 home runs, the Giants fifth with 99 dingers.

Enjoy!
