The Indians continue their series with the Red Sox as Carlos Carrasco takes on Chris Sale. Carrasco put together an impressive four-year stretch as a starter and reliever. He owns a 3.29 ERA, striking out 9.8 batters per nine IP with just 2.1 walks per 9 IP. Sale has not allowed a run since the All-Star break and is working on a 21 2/3 scoreless inning streak. (He did not allow a run in his last inning against Tampa Bay on 7/6.)
Max Scherzer tries to throw the second low-hitter in a row for Washington as he faces Miami and rookie Chris O’Grady. Scherzer still trails Clayton Kershaw in all three Cy Young Trackers, but it may just be a matter of time before Max passes the Dodgers lefty. O’Grady makes the fifth start of his career, in his peak age 27 season. He survived a high walk total so far as most of the power against him came with the bases empty.
Carlos Martinez leads the Cardinals against the Brewers and Jimmy Nelson. Martinez comes off a poor July in which he allowed a 5.90 ERA, thanks to allowing seven home runs in 29 innings. Nelson found his control this year, and since May 1 owns a K/BB of 5.7.
Finally, The Rays and Astros send Chris Archer and Mike Fiers to the mound. Archer has a history of success in Houston, 2-1 with a 2.16 ERA against the Astros at their park. Fiers struck out 27 batters in 18 innings since the break.
