First place teams collide in Boston as the Phillies send Aaron Nola against David Price. Nola comes into the game third in the NL in ERA at 2.42. He’s having a great July, with a 2.16 ERA, one home run, six walks, and 29 K in 25 innings. Price is 2-1 in July despite a 6.43 ERA. He allowed eight home runs in 21 innings during the month.
First place Houston faces off against second place Seattle as Gerrit Cole takes on James Paxton. Cole has fallen in Tom Tango Cy Young Tracker points, ranking fourth. His ERA is up in his last eight starts, mostly due to a high walk rate. Paxton pitches for the first time since 7/12, his back putting him on the disabled list. He is 2-0 with a 1.32 ERA against the Astros this season.
Finally, the Brewers visit the Dodgers with Freddy Peralta facing Kenta Maeda. In his rookie year, Peralta is proving tough to hit. His 57 K in 43 1/3 innings helped him allow just 22 hits. That balances the 22 walks he issued. Maeda continues to pitch better at home with a 2.74 ERA in Los Angeles, 3.78 on the road.
