Games of the Day

The Twins continue their series against the Yankees with Jose Berrios facing CC Sabathia. The two have nearly identical ERAs, Berrios coming in at 3.84, Sabathia at 3.85. Berrios looks like he should be much better than Sabathia, however, as all three-true outcomes provide Berrios with more positives. Sabathia managed to give up fewer hits, however, so they are nearly even.

Joe Maddon returns to Tampa Bay as the Mike Montgomery leads the Cubs against Chris Archer. Montgomery pitched better on the road this season, with a 3.18 ERA versus 3.88 at home. It’s due to limiting base on balls away. Archer allowed 13 home runs in 123 innings before the All-Star break, 12 home runs in 63 1/3 innings since. His ERA is only about 1/4 of a run higher in the second half than the first half, however.

Enjoy!
