The Rays and Blue Jays open the day with an excellent pitching match-up in game one of their doubleheader. Shane McClanahan takes on Kevin Guasman. McClanahan lowered his ERA in his sophomore season by raising his K rate and lowering his walk rate. Home runs allowed are his only weakness, but with no one on base they do little damage. Guasman continues his renaissance with another season with an ERA under 3.00. He allowed just two home runs in 86 innings, the second best HR rate in the majors.

The White Sox send Dylan Cease against the Giants and Logan Webb. Cease owns a 0.26 ERA in his last six starts, but ten of the eleven runs he allowed were unearned. Webb remains consistent, following up his 3.03 ERA in 2021 with a 3.04 ERA in 2022.

The leader in HR per 9 IP, Martin Perez of the Rangers takes on Trevor Williams and the Mets. Perez’s eschewing of the long ball lowered his ERA to 2.22. Williams owns a 2.00 ERA at home, where he allowed just one of his six home runs.

Finally, Yu Darvish battles Tyler Anderson as the Padres visit the Dodgers. Darvish comes off an excellent June in which he posted a 2.52 ERA, walking just five batters in 35 2/3 innings. Anderson walked just 13 batters in 78 innings this season, and goes for his ninth win.

Enjoy!
