Michael Pineda (6-2, 3.32 ERA) is on a roll right now. The righty is 3-0 in his last three starts with a 3.44 ERA in his lat three starts. He’ll look to extend that undefeated streak tonight at Rogers Centre against the Blue Jays, who will have Francisco Liriano on the mound. Liriano has just been activated from the 10-day disabled list due to a shoulder injury. Liriano last pitched on May 10, giving up seven earned runs on five hits in only two innings, albeit in an 8-7 home win over Cleveland. Liriano ius 2-2 with a 6.35 ERA in seven starts thus far this season.
Writer’s Prediction
New York (+125) wins, 6-4.
Houston Astros vs. Texas Rangers (8:05 PM ET)
Line: Houston Astros (-120) vs. Texas Rangers (+110); total: 9.0 – view all MLB lines
A big time pitching showdown happens tonight in the AL West with the Astros and the Rangers parading Dallas Keuchel and Yu Darvish, respectively. Keuchel remains undefeated this season with an 8-0 record to go with a league-leading 1.81 ERA. Darvish, on the other hand, is 5-3 and sports a 2.97 ERA. Houston has been the hottest team in the majors of late with the team winning all of its last seven games. Texas has seemingly cooled off after a 10-win streak, going 3-8 in their last 11.
Writer’s Prediction
Houston (-120) wins, 4-2.
