Cristopher Sanchez leads the Phillies against the Pirates and Paul Skenes. While Sanchez allows a .321 OBP, not terrible but not great, he removes baserunners well with double place. He induced nine GDPs in 46 opportunities this season. Skenes’s 4-6 record belies his 2.05 ERA. After 36 career starts, the Bill James Starting Pitcher Rankings puts him 14th.

The Sunday night game features Hunter Dobbins and the Red Sox against Carlos Rodon of the Yankees. Dobbins limited walks so far in his 44 1/3 MLB innings, but due to a high number of hits, his opposition OBP stands at .323. Rodon comes into the game 8-3 on the season with a 2.49 ERA. In his first two season with New York, Rodon allowed a .314 OBP and a .452 slugging percentage. This season, those are down to .239 and .281.
