Lugo has an outstanding 8-1 record, the top major league ERA (1.74), and has been one of the league's finest pitchers this season. For Minnesota, Bailey Ober has not shown as much promise.

Flexen has struggled on the mound, giving up 14 runs in his last three appearances. It will be difficult for Chicago to slow down the Blue Jays in this game because they have one of the weakest bullpens in the league. He gave up seven runs in his previous two starts against the Blue Jays.

With only three runs allowed in his last three outings, Allen has been very effective on the mound lately. Despite giving up six runs in his previous three road starts, Cleveland's elite bullpen will limit Colorado's offensive output.

In the first game of the series, which Morton started, the Nationals hammered out fifteen hits, and I anticipate that kind of output again against the light-throwing Elder.

Skubal has performed admirably for the Tigers in his mound duties, surrendering only nine runs in his last six outings. In his three starts versus the Pirates, he is 1-0 but has allowed five runs to be scored.

Soriano has struggled at home this season, going 0-3 in four starts. This season, his ERA at home is also more than 7.00. I expect the red-hot Guardians to keep it going on Saturday night.

New York has won nine of its last eleven games overall, including five of its last six on the road. Five of the last seven meetings between the Yankees and the Padres have ended in Yankee victories. The Padres have dropped four of their last five games at home in Petco Park.

After not pitching in the majors for the previous three seasons, Sanchez is still getting up to speed for the Marlins, who are just 7-15 on the road this season as of Friday night.

The Cincinnati Reds are a team in serious need of victories right now. They won 9–6 on Friday after limiting the Dodgers to four runs or fewer in three of the four series matches last week.

In his debut series against San Francisco, Luis Severino pitched six innings and lost to the Giants, giving up three earned runs. With a lower ERA than Severino and fewer walks this season, Hicks is starting for the Giants and has demonstrated greater control.

Logan Allen hasn't always been reliable. In April, he had a poor 5.47 ERA and gave up seven runs in a Detroit game earlier this month. Patrick Sandoval, the starting pitcher for the Angels, has excelled this month.

This season, Zac Gallen has performed incredibly well at home, going 4 starts with a 1.02 WHIP and 1.52 ERA in 23.2 innings pitched. Against Gallen, the Marlins are already just 5-for-36 with three doubles.

Over his career, Justin Verlander has owned the Athletics. With Verlander having a 3.63 ERA away from home in 2024, the present A's are just 8-for-36 with four doubles and a home run against him.

Thus far, Manoah appears to be his former self. Manoah was very impressive in his most recent performance. In seven innings of work, he gave up just one hit and struck out seven opponents. Manoah has a 16-9 record and a respectable 3.38 ERA, making him a superior road pitcher throughout his career.

With five runs let up in his last two home starts, Falter has struggled recently on the mound, and the Braves have found great success batting against left-handers. In his last two starts against the Braves, he gave up ten runs.
