Luis Ortiz has a worrisome profile all around with his BB% and xBA both 9th percentile or worse. Despite an impressive ground ball rate his game is exposable against even a possibly watered-down Phillies lineup. Zack Wheeler hasn’t been his sharpest of late with 3 or more earned runs allowed in 5 of his last 9 starts, and with the team’s playoff positioning locked up he could see a reduced leash. I lean towards the over in this game.

This pitching matchup happened just last weekend, and the Rangers won. Montgomery has given up 1 run in his last 21 innings, and the Rangers offense is just better. Texas has the advantage here.

I think Toronto wins this game, but the ML is cooked way to high. I always fade Luke Weaver, and I will do so again here. But the Yankees are hitting well and playing spoiler really well, and I don’t like this spot. Toronto survives narrowly.
