Games of the Day

The Rays try for a split of their series with Boston as the Red Sox send Drew Pomeranz against Jake Odorizzi. Pomeranz has been a bit of a disappointment for the Red Sox, going 2-2 in seven starts with a 4.23 ERA. The ballpark and division may make a difference, as he allowed eight home runs in 102 innings for the Padres, eight home runs in 38 1/3 innings for Boston. Odorizzi owns a 3.06 ERA at home, where he allowed 10 of his 22 home runs. He’s pitched 16 more innings at home, so that difference is larger than it looks.

Former Rays starter Matt Moore takes the mound for the Giants as they try to avoid a sweep at the hands of the Dodgers. Ross Stripling hurls for Los Angeles. Moore is also a bit of a disappointment, 0-3 with a 4.70 ERA since joining San Francisco. He walked 17 in 23 innings with the Giants, after walking 40 in 130 innings with the Rays. Rookie Stripling pitched poorly at home this season, 2-3 with a 4.76 ERA at Dodger Stadium. He allowed four of his six home runs at home.

Enjoy!
