Games of the Day

The Braves visit the Orioles with Max Fried taking on Albert Suarez. Fried makes home runs difficult for batters. Since the start of the 2020 season, he owns the second lowest HR per 9 IP in the majors. Suarez allowed just one home run in 39 1/3 innings this season, helping him to a 1.83 ERA.

The Phillies send Zack Wheeler against the Red Sox and Kutter Crawford. The Phillies rotation owns the highest average game score in the majors this season. Wheeler averages 63.2 in his starts this season, sixth in the majors on second on the team to Ranger Suarez at 64.8. That leads the majors. Crawford held runners well this season. The only attempted eight steals against him and were caught three times.

The Yankees and Royals feature another good pitching match-up as Marcus Stroman battle Brady Singer. Stroman’s high walk rate this season has been tempered by his ability to prevent hits. Singer is much less likely to give up long balls at home, as his career opposition slugging percentage in KC is just .389, compared to .442 on the road.
