On the offensive side, the Astros have been held to two runs or fewer in the first five innings in four straight games against left-handed starters.

Will Warren Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-105 at DraftKings)
The Yankees have dropped the first two games of a key four-game set in Toronto.
While Warren has been a machine for strikeout props this season—hitting the over in 13 of 16 starts—this matchup is a tough one.
Toronto owns the lowest strikeout rate in the league at just 17.7%. This will also be Warren’s first career start against the Blue Jays.
Notably, opposing starters have recorded four strikeouts or fewer in 15 straight games in Toronto. The trend makes this a good buy-low spot for the under.

Shota Imanaga Over 4.5 Strikeouts (-140 at FanDuel)
The Cubs took care of the Guardians in the opener of their interleague series at Wrigley Field.
Chicago sends lefty Shota Imanaga to the mound against a Cleveland team that has been striking out plenty lately.
Cleveland hitters have struck out at least five times against opposing starting pitchers in 11 of the past 13 games. Against left-handers specifically, 11 of the past 13 starters have gone over their strikeout total.
Imanaga has stayed under his strikeout total in seven of nine starts this season, but this is a favorable spot to back the over given the Guardians’ swing-and-miss tendencies.

Postrach favoritů Slovácko. Nad Spartou jsme mohli vyhrát, bylo tam od nás riziko, řekl kouč
I když se Slovácko v této sezoně pohybuje nebezpečně blízko dna, na nejsilnější váhy soutěže umí. Kromě Sparty obralo o body také Plzeň po remíze 1:1 a bod uzmulo málem i ze souboje se Slavií, s níž na začátku srpna prohrálo doma 0:1 vinou neproměněné penalty v závěru.„Jsme nepříjemní, dokážeme se proti těmto soupeřům dobře takticky připravit. Zároveň si umíme v závěru vytvořit šance. Jde vidět, že hráči se umí vyhecovat, vyždímat a mají síly i v závěru, to jsou jednoznačně pozitivní prvky,“ podotkl kouč Kameník.Jeho svěřenci navíc tentokrát dokázali od začátku prověřit i obranu svého soupeře a od úvodních minut vstoupili do zápasu odvážněji než v předchozích partiích proti velkým favoritům. „Pro dnešní zápas jsme se rozhodli, že budeme aktivnější v defenzivě, že obranný blok vysuneme nahoru a hráče Sparty tak dostaneme pod větší tlak. Řekli jsme si, že tentokrát je potřeba jít malinko do rizika i za cenu toho, že se soupeř ocitne jeden na […]

Chytil po tvrdém nárazu nedohrál zápas ve Washingtonu
