Possible playoff opponents the Guardians and Yankees meet in The Bronx with Matt Boyd facing Luis Gil. Boyd last pitched against the Yankees in 2019 for Detroit. He went 1-3 against them with a 5.19 ERA in five starts. Despite walking nearly a batter every other inning, Gil owns a low .292 opposition OBP to go with a .317 opposition slugging percentage.

The Phillies and Braves send two of their best to the mound as Zack Wheeler battles Reynaldo Lopez. Wheeler’s 2.72 ERA would be the best single season mark of his career. He’s holding batters to a .242 BABIP while averaging nearly 10 Ks per 9 innings. Lopez comes into the game with a 2.06 ERA, helping to save a rotation depleted of it’s aces. He allowed just seven home runs in 104 2/3 innings.

Wild Card hopefuls Twins and Padres send Bailey Ober against Martin Perez in San Diego. Ober, like Wheeler, holds batters to a .246 BABIP with a high K rate. Perez is 1-0 in three starts with a 1.96 ERA since joining the Padres.
