Logan Gilbert has a 3.42 ERA in 160.1 innings. He gives the Mariners a good chance to win every time he is starting. Kade Morris has an inflated ERA of 9.82 in a small sample of 14.2 innings.

Washington's Jackson Kent enters with a 5.59 ERA and 1.71 WHIP against a dangerous Dodgers lineup capable of carrying this total. Washington merely needs to contribute a couple runs to help, if that. With all three previous meetings producing at least 14 runs, the over provides an attractive alternative to laying substantial Dodgers run-line juice.

Shota Imanaga is coming off a brutal start where he gave up six earned runs in 5.0 innings, including three home runs. The Cubs are the highest scoring team in the MLB at the moment, averaging 5.3 runs per game.

Allen’s form worries me, but some of that worry is mitigated by the Tigers’ recent offensive form. Detroit is hitting just .197 over the last seven days, which is second-worst in the league. Cleveland hasn’t been much better sitting at 24th, and they’re hitting just .145 in 69 career at-bats against Montero.

Despite having the hotter offense, the Rangers pitching has been questionable in their last 10 games, holding a 5.44 team ERA. The Rays have a significant edge with Martinez on the mound, and even though their offense is producing slightly lower than the Rangers right now, I like Tampa Bay to bounce back in this spot.

Jared Jones put together a troubling month of August, posting a 7.20 ERA despite abbreviated workloads. The bullpen behind Jones has been heavily worked in recent games as well. Ryan Johnson is a shaky option in the Angels rotation, and I expect runs scored from both sides.

Chris Sale brings a 2.06 ERA and 1.00 WHIP into Philadelphia, while Cristopher Sánchez counters with a 2.52 ERA and 202 strikeouts. Add the importance of a 4 game divisional showdown with Atlanta holding a 4 game NL East advantage, and this has every ingredient necessary for a tense, low-scoring pitching duel.

Rhett Lowder's 5.14 ERA and 1.46 WHIP provide Milwaukee with an obvious pathway toward runs, while Cincinnati can contribute against Shane Drohan utilizing the confines of the Great American Ball Park. These starters produced an 11-run game here in June, and Cincinnati's bullpen has struggled recently. 10 runs is attainable. Back the Over.

Both clubs have lost six of their last 10 games, and it's tough to trust the rookie in this spot. While the A's are swinging the hotter bats, I like them to rally behind Perkins and score enough against Anderson to keep it close.

If Boston continues its recent offensive form while Bennett and the bullpen allow Baltimore to stay within striking distance, another game with plenty of scoring is the most likely outcome.
