Yankees vs. Red Sox
Today’s game between the Yankees and Red Sox is a rematch of last year’s American League Championship Series. The two teams are very evenly matched, with the Yankees boasting a powerful offense and the Red Sox having a strong pitching staff.
The Yankees will be sending ace pitcher Gerrit Cole to the mound, who had a stellar season last year and is one of the best pitchers in baseball. Cole will be facing off against Boston’s number two starter, Eduardo Rodriguez. Rodriguez had a solid season last year, but he will have his work cut out for him against the Yankees’ lineup.
The game is sure to be a close one, and it will be exciting to see how these two teams match up against each other.
Cubs vs. Cardinals
The Cubs will take on the Cardinals today in a highly anticipated matchup. Both teams are vying for first place in the division, so expect a hard-fought game. On the mound for the Cubs is Jon Lester, who has been pitching well lately. He’ll be up against Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright.
Dodgers vs. Rockies
The Los Angeles Dodgers (42-19) will travel to take on the Colorado Rockies (30-31) at Coors Field. This will be the first game of a three-game set. The Dodgers currently have the best record in baseball, while the Rockies are two games under .500 and in fourth place in the NL West.
The Dodgers are coming off a loss to the San Diego Padres, while the Rockies lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Dodgers will send left-hander Clayton Kershaw (7-2, 2.16 ERA) to the mound, while right-hander Jon Gray (3-3, 5.54 ERA) will start for the Rockies.
Kershaw is coming off his worst start of the season, giving up four runs in six innings against the Padres. He had been pitching well prior to that, allowing two runs or less in five straight starts. Kershaw has pitched well against the Rockies in his career, going 15-7 with a 2.36 ERA in 31 starts. He has struck out 237 batters and walked just 54 in 213 innings pitched against Colorado.
Gray has been up and down this season, but he has pitched better at home than on the road. In four starts at Coors Field, Gray has a 3.86 ERA, compared to an 8.18 ERA in five road starts. He has never faced the Dodgers in his career.
