With the long MLB season comes those days that simply just leave you scratching your head. Did the Brewers really get shut out by the Orioles? Did the Red Sox score just one run off a pitcher throwing 60% 93 mph fastballs? Did the Mets really blow a four-run lead in the 8th inning? (Well, that part is normal). Plus, with Luis Patiñ0 getting hurt just 13 pitches into his start, the Rays were left scrambling and the mighty Oakland Athletics pounced.

The best thing you can do after wild days like yesterday is to get back on the horse, so below we’ll take you through today’s entire schedule, the betting odds for each game along with the starting pitchers, and some stats and picks that we think should help you not only prepare to enjoy the game but also think about which way you want to want to bet the game if that’s something you want to do.

Also, we recommend checking the Fangraphs Probables Grid to see the likely starting pitchers from each game with clickable links to get the most in-depth information on each pitcher.
