Games of the Day

The Yankees start a four-game series in Toronto as Bryan Mitchell takes on Francisco Liriano. The Yankees are in need of a sweep of the Friday-Monday four game series if they want to make the post-season. Mitchell shutout Toronto in his first start of the season on 9/7, but pitched poorly since. Liriano found his control after moving from the Pirates to the Blue Jays, but allowed seven home runs in 37 innings.

Danny Duffy and the Royals try to throw a road block in front of the Tigers playoff push against Michael Fulmer. Duffy owns a 4.15 ERA in September. He is allowing a ton of hits despite striking out 32 batters in 26 innings. Fulmer also hit a wall in September with a 5.50 ERA. He allowed three home runs in his last 18 innings.

A Rangers win or a Houston loss gives the Rangers the AL West title. Cole Hamels goes for his 15th win against the Athletics and Kendall Graveman. Hamels owns the road with a 9-3 record and 2.57 ERA. Graveman induces contact. He owns low walk and strike out rates. Unfortunately for him, that contact often leads to home runs.

Enjoy!
