Houston is catching fire at the right time, as the Astros pulled above
the .500 mark after sweeping the Angels at home. The Astros have won
five straight games, while winning three of their past four contests
away from Minute Maid Park. Houston heads to Kansas City for an ALDS
rematch with the Royals, as Dallas Keuchel takes the mound in the series
opener. Last season’s Cy Young winner has stumbled to a 2-6 record on
the highway to go along with a 5.91 ERA, while losing at Kauffman
Stadium in a 5-1 defeat last July.
Coldest team: Mariners (2-9 last 11)
Seattle returns home following a dreadful road trip, capped off by a
three-game sweep at the hands of Detroit. The Mariners limped to a 2-8
record on its trip through Tampa Bay, Boston, and Detroit, while its
pitching staff is in ruins due to numerous injuries. Seattle has dropped
15 of its past 20 games overall, including a 1-3 mark in its previous
four home contests as the M’s head back to Safeco Field for an
interleague series with the streaking Cardinals.

Hottest pitcher: Danny Salazar, Indians (8-3, 2.23 ERA)
Cleveland has owned Detroit this season by winning each of the first six
matchups with its division rival. Salazar has yet to face the Tigers
this season, but the Cleveland right-hander is riding a four-game
winning streak. In his last four victories, the Tribe’s offense has
scored 38 runs as three of those wins came at home. The road has been a
different story for Salazar, as the Indians are 1-4 in his past five
away outings, while not lasting past the fifth inning in three of those
starts.
Coldest pitcher: Matt Moore, Rays (3-4, 4.90 ERA)
Tampa Bay has fallen apart of late by dropping seven straight games,
including getting swept by San Francisco and Cleveland. Moore has won
just two of his past 10 starts for Tampa Bay, in spite of tossing at
least six innings in each of his last three appearances. Tampa Bay owns
an 0-5 mark in Moore’s last five starts away from Tropicana Field, while
the southpaw makes his first start at Camden Yards since 2013 when the
Rays travel to Baltimore on Friday.
Biggest UNDER run: Braves (6-0 last six)
Atlanta continued its dominance of New York by rallying past the Mets on
Thursday, 4-3. Not only did the Braves beat the Mets for the fourth
time in eight days, but Atlanta also cashed its sixth consecutive
‘under.’ Atlanta’s pitching staff has been stellar recently by allowing
three runs or less in seven straight games, while posting an impressive
7-1 record in the past eight contests overall. Aaron Blair has cashed
the ‘under’ in three of his four June starts for Atlanta, which includes
a 4-3 victory at Citi Field last Saturday.

The Twins have racked up the second-most ‘overs’ in baseball as they
travel to New York to begin a three-game set with the Yankees. New York
is riding a five-game ‘over’ streak after a pair of high-scoring
contests with Colorado, which included a 9-8 walk-off victory on
Wednesday. The Yankees and Twins played to three ‘overs’ in their
four-game set at Target Field last weekend, while New York has allowed
at least six runs in each of its past four contests overall.
Matchup to watch: Red Sox vs. Rangers
Boston avoided a four-game sweep by Chicago with an extra-innings
triumph on Thursday as the Red Sox venture to the Lone Star State to
face the Rangers. Texas has won 10 of its past 12 games to remain atop
the AL West standings, while coming off a home split against Cincinnati.
David Price takes the mound in the series opener for Boston, as the
southpaw snapped a three-start losing streak by tossing eight innings in
a 2-1 victory against Seattle in his past outing. Price hasn’t received
much run support recently, as the Red Sox scored two runs or less in
each of his past four starts, while cashing the ‘under’ in each of those
appearances. Texas won three of four home meetings from Boston last
season, as Nick Martinez makes his second start of the season for the
Rangers.
Betcha didn’t know: The Nationals and Brewers begin a weekend
series at Miller Park as Max Scherzer takes the ball for Washington.
Scherzer struck out 16 and allowed one hit in a complete-game shutout of
the Brewers the last time he faced them last June. The Nationals lost
Scherzer’s last start at San Diego in spite of him striking out 10
batters in six innings, as Washington has won four straight starts by
the former Cy Young winner after they dropped his last outing.

Nice home dog spot for the Brewers considering Zach Davies is on the
mound for Milwaukee and we can get the +1.5 runs at a pick'em price.
Davies is enjoying an incredible stretch as he has allowed 2 earned runs
or less in 8 of his last 9 starts! In his last 4 starts he's been
particularly hot as the veteran right-hander has allowed only 3 earned
runs on just 13 hits in the 28 innings spanning those 4 outings. These
are phenomenal numbers and he now has the added edge of facing a
Nationals team that has never faced him. While Washington does have Max
Scherzer on the mound and the veteran righty is in great current form
and has also enjoyed success against Milwaukee in his career, I just
don't see the Nationals as being able to create any kind of separation
in this game. The Nats come into this game having lost 5 straight and
they've only scored 2.4 runs per game in those 5 games. Taking a look at
their last 11 games Washington only has 3 victories by a multiple-run
margin during this 11-game stretch. 10 of Milwaukee's last 21 defeats
have come by just a single run and the Brewers come into this game
having won 14 of their last 23 home games!
