Athletics @ Guardians
At Progressive Field
RHP
6-2, 2.40 ERA, 61 SO
Montas is emerging as the A's top pitcher, coming off a career-best performance of 8 2/3 innings and 10 strikeouts in a win over the Tigers. He allowed just two earned runs over six innings in a start against Cleveland at the Oakland Coliseum earlier this month.
RHP
1-4, 4.08 ERA, 23 SO
Rodriguez gave up a season-high four runs last time out against the Orioles but was able to throw more breaking balls than he did all season. In his last four starts, the righty has thrown at least six innings, the longest streak in his career.

Reds @ Brewers
At Miller Park
RHP
5-1, 2.38 ERA, 78 SO
Castillo has been one of the best in the NL. It continued Thursday in a 4-2 win over the Cubs. He was limited to 5 1/3 innings because of rain but allowed two hits and a walk with six strikeouts. Three of those K's were from his great changeup.
RHP
5-0, 2.43 ERA, 38 SO
Coming off a 2018 season marred by injuries, Davies will take the mound for his 10th start of ‘19 with a Major League-leading 1.54 ERA. He has not allowed more than two earned runs in any of his first nine starts.

Royals @ Cardinals
At Busch Stadium
RHP
3-5, 4.43 ERA, 45 SO
Keller has dealt with command issues for most of the season, which continued in his last start against the Angels, as he walked five. He showed improvement after a tough 30-pitch second inning, rediscovering some of his strike-throwing ability.
RHP
3-2, 5.59 ERA, 43 SO
Wacha has been mired in mediocrity, mostly because of inconsistent fastball command that's decreased the effectiveness of his changeup and led to extended innings. Wacha's velocity has also been down -- perhaps a sign of out-of-sync mechanics.

Mariners @ Rangers
At Globe Life Park in Arlington
LHP
5-4, 3.41 ERA, 48 SO
Since winning his fifth game by shutting out the Rangers for 7 innings on 6 hits with 9 strikeouts on April 25, the 27-year-old lefty has gone 0-3 with a 5.94 ERA in four starts. He's 4-1 with a 2.60 ERA in six career starts vs. Texas.
RHP
0-1, 4.91 ERA, 20 SO
Chavez is starting for the second time this season. He pitched a scoreless inning as an opener against the Astros on May 11. He has pitched 9 2/3 scoreless innings over his last seven outings. In that stretch he has allowed six hits and three walks while striking out seven.

D-backs @ Padres
At Petco Park
RHP
4-5, 4.75 ERA, 40 SO
Kelly tossed 5 1/3 scoreless innings last time out against the Giants. He made his Major League debut against the Padres earlier this year at Petco Park and got the win. Kelly spent the last four years pitching in Korea.
LHP
3-4, 4.73 ERA, 45 SO
The second-year left-hander bounced back in a big way with 5 2/3 sharp innings against the Pirates on Thursday. He'd been scuffling, but Lauer showed tremendous poise to work around three errors and at least as many misplays.

Yankees @ Orioles
At Oriole Park at Camden Yards
LHP
3-1, 3.48 ERA, 34 SO
Sabathia completed a season-high six innings in his most recent effort, taking a no-decision as he limited the Rays to one run on six hits. He was 1-1 with a 5.14 ERA in four starts vs. the Orioles last season.
RHP
1-4, 9.09 ERA, 18 SO
Questions will linger about Straily's rotation status unless the right-hander consistently works deeper into games. He lasted just 3 1/3 innings his last time out, and hasn't completed five innings in more than a month. He is 1-3 with a 8.51 ERA overall.

Rockies @ Pirates
At PNC Park
RHP
4-4, 4.62 ERA, 66 SO
Gray struck out eight but lasted just 4 2/3 innings in his last start, a loss at Philadelphia. He has high strikeouts (59 in 53 1/3 innings), but also has given up 10 home runs in nine starts.
RHP
0-1, 4.91 ERA, 10 SO
DuRapau will serve his second stint as the Pirates' opener after a successful first effort Saturday in San Diego. DuRapau struck out four over two scoreless innings against the Padres, setting up a well-executed bullpen game that the Bucs won, 7-2.

Red Sox @ Blue Jays
At Rogers Centre
RHP
3-4, 4.45 ERA, 47 SO
After a rough first three starts of the season, Porcello has been stellar ever since, going 3-1 with a 2.97 ERA in his last six starts. In 24 career starts against the Jays, Porcello is 10-11 with a 5.55 ERA.
RHP
3-4, 3.79 ERA, 55 SO
After exiting his Friday start after three innings with a blister on his right middle finger, it seemed Sanchez’s next start might be in jeopardy, but the Blue Jays believe the righty will be ready to take the mound against the Red Sox for the third game of the four-game set in Toronto.

Marlins @ Tigers
At Comerica Park
RHP
2-6, 4.30 ERA, 39 SO
The wins may not be there for Urena, but the performance has been, especially in his last six starts. Despite being 1-3, he has a 2.77 ERA over that span, working at least six innings in each of them. On the road overall, he is 0-2 with a 3.32 ERA.
LHP
2-2, 4.30 ERA, 33 SO
Norris continues to benefit from consistent turns in the Tigers rotation, showing a four-pitch mix with a sneaky fastball and improved changeup. But he paid for two home runs as part of six runs allowed over 5 1/3 innings last Friday vs. Oakland.

Nationals @ Mets
At Citi Field
RHP
2-5, 3.41 ERA, 96 SO
The Nationals have lost eight of Scherzer’s 10 starts this season, including a 2-0 setback in his matchup with Jacob deGrom on Opening Day. Scherzer struck out 12 in 7 2/3 innings but was bested by deGrom's six scoreless with 10 K's.
RHP
3-5, 3.72 ERA, 75 SO
deGrom allowed seven runs (six earned) last Friday vs. the Marlins, the most runs he has given up in a start since September 2017. The reigning NL Cy Young Award winner has been frustrated with his inconsistency, particularly his pitch location.

Dodgers @ Rays
At Tropicana Field
LHP
1-1, 2.67 ERA, 31 SO
Hill retired the first 10 batters he faced on Friday in Cincinnati, allowing only two hits over six innings with 10 strikeouts, one shy of his career high. Hill last fanned 10 batters on June 29, 2018, vs. Colorado. Hill is 2-0 with a 4.82 ERA in 11 appearances vs. Tampa Bay including two starts.
RHP
0-1, 3.12 ERA, 27 SO

Royals @ Cardinals
At Busch Stadium
Makeup of 5/21 PPD
RHP
4-5, 6.13 ERA, 44 SO
Bailey's previous start vs. the Rangers began well enough, but things quickly fell apart in the fifth and he exited after just 4 1/3 innings pitched. He ended up allowing six runs (five earned) on eight hits and four walks.
RHP
4-4, 4.82 ERA, 41 SO
The 14-year veteran lasted only four innings in his most recent start against the Braves, allowing five earned runs on five walks and five hits. He also tied a season low with two strikeouts, but was sharp the outing before, striking out eight Pirates in seven innings.

Phillies @ Cubs
At Wrigley Field
LHP
2-1, 5.60 ERA, 13 SO
Irvin overcame some sloppy defense on Friday to turn in his second quality start in as many career outings. The left-hander has thrown 70 percent of his pitches for strikes and he looks to continue his push to remain in the rotation.
LHP
4-0, 3.38 ERA, 60 SO
The veteran left-hander improved to 4-0 as the Cubs beat the Nationals, 14-6, on Friday night. He gave up two runs in five innings and was supported by three home runs from Kris Bryant.

RHP
4-5, 4.11 ERA, 100 SO

Braves @ Giants
At Oracle Park
LHP
7-2, 2.88 ERA, 51 SO
Fried produced one of his most impressive starts Friday against the Brewers' potent lineup. His average four-seam velocity (94.6 mph) matched a season high, and he continued to find success with his slider, which has complemented his plus curveball.
RHP
2-3, 3.27 ERA, 41 SO
Samardzija hasn't completed six innings in his last six starts, including last Friday, when he allowed three runs in 5 1/3 innings in a loss to the D-backs. The veteran righty owns a 3.00 ERA in 13 career games (seven starts) vs. the Braves.

Twins @ Angels
At Angel Stadium
LHP
7-1, 2.95 ERA, 56 SO
Perez has been the American League's breakout pitcher, sporting a 2.01 ERA in seven starts since joining the rotation in mid-April. After 7 seasons in Texas, he could be on pace for his first All-Star selection.
RHP
2-4, 7.50 ERA, 35 SO
Harvey has showed some signs of turning it around with a 4.05 ERA over his last five starts. He gave up two runs over five innings in a win vs. the Royals in his last outing.
