Pitchers seeing the most leverage: Joe Musgrove, Alek Manoah Joe Musgrove finds himself near the top of the pitcher’s leverage board ahead of his matchup against the San Francisco Giants. Musgrove followed up putting pen to paper on his new contract by getting shelled by the Colorado Rockies, and they weren’t even playing in Coors! He has still had a strong season for the Padres as his expected ERA and FIP are in the low 3.00-range with respectable strikeout production at 25%.
The Blue Jays currently hold the top Wild Card spot in the American League, while the Orioles sit one game back of the Tampa Bay Rays for the third Wild Card position. The home side has posted a 7-3 record over their past ten games, while the visitors are 5-5 over that same sample size. The most significant difference between these two AL East foes right now is in run differential, with the Blue Jays having a +61, while the O’s are at just +7.
August Mondays are often slow nights in baseball, as the league gives teams off days in the middle of the dog days. Just seven games were on last night’s schedule, and just two of the Yankees’ playoff rivals were on the field, as the Yankees handled the Mariners 9-4. With that in mind, we have a pretty short rivalry recap for you today.
