Mets @ Marlins
At Marlins Park
RHP
7-4, 4.55 ERA, 110 SO
After his final start before the All-Star break, Syndergaard described his battle on the mound as a “me-against-me” struggle to repeat his delivery. He posted a 5.94 ERA with eight walks in 16 2/3 innings over his last three starts before the break.
RHP
0-1, 4.24 ERA, 21 SO

At Fenway Park
RHP
4-3, 3.65 ERA, 69 SO

Tigers @ Royals
At Kauffman Stadium
LHP
6-7, 3.95 ERA, 152 SO
Scouts will be tracking Boyd closely out of the break as the Trade Deadline nears and contenders sort out their options. They’ll catch the left-hander coming off a no-walk, 13-strikeout performance against the White Sox last week in Chicago.
RHP
5-9, 4.25 ERA, 84 SO
Keller grinded through 5 2/3 innings against the Nationals on Friday in a game the Royals won 7-4 in 11 innings. Keller gave up six hits and one run, but walked five batters while striking out two.

At Busch Stadium
RHP
7-9, 3.93 ERA, 86 SO

Nationals @ Phillies
At Citizens Bank Park
LHP
7-5, 3.39 ERA, 139 SO
The Nats' biggest free-agent signing last offseason has been a success so far. He cruised into the break with a 0.96 ERA over his past four starts, allowing one run or fewer in each of them, a career-best streak.
RHP
8-2, 3.63 ERA, 133 SO
Thank goodness for Nola. After a slow start, he seems to be returning to the form that made him an NL Cy Young Award candidate last season. He is 2-1 with a 0.61 ERA in his past four starts, locating his fastball like he had in the past.

Giants @ Brewers
At Miller Park
LHP
5-7, 3.86 ERA, 121 SO
Bumgarner departed his last start against the Cardinals last Saturday after just two innings after taking a comebacker off his pitching arm. He faced the Brewers on June 15 at Oracle Park and gave up five runs (three earned) over six innings.
RHP
7-2, 2.89 ERA, 68 SO
Davies was the team's most pleasant surprise in the first half, bouncing back from an injury-marred 2018 season to win his first seven decisions of '19 with a 2.41 ERA before taking a loss in San Francisco on June 14. Now, a rematch vs. the Giants.

Astros @ Rangers
At Globe Life Park in Arlington
LHP
7-4, 3.32 ERA, 91 SO
The Astros are inserting Miley, a lefty, between hard-throwing right-handers Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole to start the second half. Miley had 10 quality starts in 18 first-half outings, including allowing two runs in 12 innings in his final two starts before the break.
LHP
8-4, 2.73 ERA, 121 SO
Minor is pitching for the first time in 12 days after being skipped in his last start before the All-Star break. He is 6-2 with a 2.05 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP in his last 12 starts. Against the Astros this season, the All-Star left-hander is 1-1 with a 2.25 ERA in two starts.

Reds @ Rockies
At Coors Field
RHP
5-6, 3.99 ERA, 95 SO
Over four career games against the Rockies, including three starts, Roark is 1-2 with a 3.71 ERA. He has pitched into the seventh inning in two of his past four starts and he should be fresh enough to go deep in this game if he's doing well.
LHP
2-6, 7.39 ERA, 52 SO
It is expected that the Rockies will recall lefty Kyle Freeland, who went from Cy Young Award candidate last year and Opening Day starter this year to needing a reboot at Triple-A Albuquerque.

Braves @ Padres
At Petco Park
RHP
5-6, 3.71 ERA, 97 SO
Teheran halted his recent struggles by ending the first half with six scoreless innings against the Marlins on July 5. The veteran right-hander struggled to command his fastball during a rough three-start stretch he experienced in June.
LHP
7-4, 3.92 ERA, 96 SO
Lucchesi made strides in two key areas during the first half: He seamlessly added a cutter as his third pitch, and he lowered his walk rate. The Padres hope Lucchesi sustains those improvements as his workload builds deep into the second half.

Mariners @ Angels
At Angel Stadium
LHP
5-3, 5.15 ERA, 55 SO
LeBlanc will face the Angels for the second time this season -- this time as a starter. The left-hander allowed two runs and struck out eight in six innings against Los Angeles on June 9, pitching after an opener.
RHP
3-4, 6.88 ERA, 38 SO
Harvey will rejoin the rotation after missing more than a month with an upper back strain. He has worked specifically to regain his velocity, so it’ll be interesting to see how he looks after a lengthy absence.
