Florida teams square off in Miami as the Rays send Aaron Civale against Sandy Alcantara. Civale overall allowed just six home runs this season in 97 1/3 innings, one in 20 1/3 innings for the Rays. Alcantara had a bit of an off year, but his ERA stands at 3.03 since the All-Star Break, down from 4.72 before the break. The improvement appears to be from fewer walks.

Young pitchers square off in Boston with JP France of the Astros facing Brayan Bello of the Red Sox. France pitched great on the road this season, 5-2 with a 1.92 ERA. Only three of his 14 home runs came away from Houston. Bello does a good job of limiting power with a .429 slugging percentage allowed. That drops to .368 with runners on base, when power can do the most damage.

Corbin Burnes faces Justin Steele as the Brewers try to push the Cubs farther down in the standings. Only four of Burnes’ nine appearances in Chicago came as starts, and he tended to walk batters there at a higher rate than usual for him. Steele goes for his fifteenth win of the season. His 2.80 ERA comes from a combination of limiting walks and home runs.

Finally, Merrill Kelly of the Diamondbacks tries to stop the Dodgers onslaught as he faces Clayton Kershaw. The two met three times in the past, with Kershaw going 3-0 with a 0.48 ERA, Kelly posting an 0-3 record with a 5.82 ERA.

Enjoy!
