The Tigers send ace Tarik Skubal against the Twins and Simeon Woods Richardson. Skubal goes for his tenth win. After two poor outings, he comes off seven shutout innings against the Phillies. Woods Richardson limited power so far this season, holding batters to a .354 slugging percentage.

The Rays travel to Kansas City, 1 1/2 games behind the Royals for the third AL Wild Card slot. Zack Littell faces Brady Singer. Littell is a reverse righty this season, with left-handed batters hitting just .269/.306/.439 against him. Righties are hitting .304! Singer owns an extreme traditional platoon split this season, holding righties to a .173/.228/.269 line, while lefties hit .281/.357/.508 against him.

Finally, first place team square off in Seattle as the Orioles visit the Mariners. Grayson Rodriguez takes on George Kirby. Rodriguez also goes for his tenth win. He allowed a low .306 OBP, which gets even lower when you include the seven double plays he induced. Kirby walked just nine batters in 99 1/3 innings this season. For his three-season career, he averaged just 1.07 walks per 9 IP.
