Toronto could move ahead of Baltimore in the AL East race, and they have the advantage in starting pitchers today as the Orioles send Yovani Gallardo against J.A. Happ. Gallardo comes into the game with a 5.37 ERA, mostly due to 33 walks and eight home runs allowed in 62 innings. He’s working on a 4.88 ERA in July. Happ’s 13 wins is a single season career high for him, beating his 12 wins in 2009. He walked just 37 batters in 124 innings this season. He is 8-1 in Toronto this season as well.
Detroit can move past Houston into the third slot in the AL Wild Card race with a win in Detroit today. Mike Fiers leads the Astros against Justin Verlander. Fiers pitched poorly on the road this season, posting a 6.75 ERA. He struck out just 21 batters in 40 innings while allowing seven home runs away from Houston. Verlander looks to finish a strong July. He is 3-0 with a 1.60 ERA in five starts. He struck out 37 in 33 2/3 innings, looking more like his younger self.
