Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is on a 10-game hitting streak. He's hitting .475 with a 1.150 OPS. LGJ is going to play Tyler Wells tonight. Tyler has a 3.46 ERA but opponents have locked on to his fastball. In six relief appearances against the Jays, Tyler had trouble with his velocity.

Washington Nationals and Philadelphia Phillies are playing a game. The over 6.5 hits allowed prop for a starting pitcher is high. Patrick Corbin is struggling since signing a big contract with the Nats. Philadelphia has one of the best lineups in baseball. They rank ninth in batting average, fourth in OPS and fourth with home runs.

Luis Severino is having a resurgence for the New York Yankees. He is pitching to an expected ERA of 2.56 and limiting opponents to a .205 expected batting average. The right-hander is starting to rack up the strikeouts in bunches. Tampa has a poor strikeout rate when facing right handed pitchers.
