The A’s J.T. Ginn is having a good season. He will face a Chicago team that is 30-17 at home. The A’s are 1-9 over their last 10 games and they are 3-7 in their last 10 road games. Chicago should have the advantage playing at home. Take Chicago.

This is a good matchup between two of the best pitchers in baseball. Detroit’s Tarik Skubal has been very good in his last two starts and the Tigers have played good baseball recently. Take Detroit.

New York will turn to Zach Thornton for his third career start. The rookie lefty last pitched on June 26, receiving a no-decision in a 2-1 home loss to Philadelphia despite allowing only five hits and a run in six innings with a walk and seven strikeouts. Take the Mets.

Pittsburgh's ace Paul Skenes rebounded with a good performance after a terrible start on the road against the Phillies. He will face Robert Gasser who has had success at times this season. Gasser has pitched much better at home than on the road. Look for another good performance from Skenes pitching at home. Take the Pirates.

New York’s Will Warren has struggled in two of his last three starts. Washington’s Cade Cavalli has put together eight good starts in his last 10 games. Washington has a good offensive team. They should be able to have success against Warren. Take Washington.
