Jeffrey Springs to the mound for the Rays as they take on the Yankees and Nestor Cortes. Springs owns a 2.56 ERA. As a starter, his ERA stands at 2.92, and he has not allowed a run as a reliever. He’s walked 18 and struck out 91. Cortes is undefeated at home with a 4-0 record in nine starts with a 2.06 ERA.

The Orioles send Dean Kremer against the Blue Jays and Alek Manoah. Kremer owns a reverse platoon difference this season. The righty allows a .250 BA to left-handed batters, .305 versus right-handed batters. In 25 1/3 more innings this season, Manoah allowed the same number of home runs as last season, 12, and walked nine fewer batters.

Finally, two Cy Young candidates face off in Chicago as Justin Verlander leads the Astros against Dylan Cease and the White Sox. Both bring in ERAs under 2.00. Despite age and injuries, Verlander remains quite indefatigable. He averages 6.5 innings per start, due in part to opponents owning a meager .232 OPB against him. Cease desisted in allowing home runs, going from 1.1 per 9 IP in 2021 to 0.7 per 9 IP this season.

Enjoy!
