The Orioles send Austin Voth against the Yankees as Aaron Judge tries to set a new AL single season home run record. Judge split his home runs evenly this season, hitting 30 at home and 31 on the road.

The Mets send Jacob deGrom against the Braves and Max Fried, New York one game ahead of Atlanta for the NL East lead. The Mets need to win one of the three games in this series to hold the tie-breaker, so the Braves really need to sweep this series to give themselves a good chance of winning the NL East. deGrom blew batters away this season with 91 K and just eight walks in 58 1/3 innings. He has allowed six home runs, however, and the Braves have an excellent power club. Fried makes his fifth start against the Mets this season, and so far he is 2-2 with a 3.00 ERA. He allowed New York just 19 hits in 24 innings.

The Marlins try to keep the Brewers from gaining a wild card slot as Sandy Alcantara takes on Corbin Burnes. Alcantara’s 220 2/3 innings is the second most in a season in the 2017-2022 time frame. Justin Verlander threw 223 innings in 2019. Alcantara can blow by that. Burnes is in a two month tough streak in which he allowed a 4.61 ERA in eleven starts.

The Rays try once again to clinch a playoff slot as they send Drew Rasmussen against the Astros and Framber Valdez. In his short career, Rasmussen owns a 15-8 record with a 3.05 ERA. He allowed just 190 hits in 230 1/3 innings. Valdez, in his first full season, posts a 2.69 ERA to go with a 16-5 record. He allowed just eleven home runs in 191 innings.

Enjoy!
