The Tigers take on the Yankees as Michael Fulmer faces Luis Severino. Fulmer makes his second career start against New York, having shut them out for six innings last season. After not allowing a home run in May or June, Fulmer gave up five so far in July. Severino is now considered the Yankees ace, which may have had a positive effect on Mashiro Tanaka. In 21 innings since the All-Star break, Severino allowed three runs, one earned, walking five and striking out 21.
The Rays lost three of four against the Yankees over the weekend, now take on the best team in the AL as Alex Cobb pitches against the Astros and Charlie Morton. Cobb owns a 1.99 ERA in 22 2/3 innings since the All-Star break, despite allowing four home runs. All five runs he allowed scored on those four home runs. Morton struck out 27 batters in 24 innings since returning from the disabled list, helping him to a 3.23 ERA in that time.
