This is a play on the LOS ANGELES ANGELS as part of our MLB Friday Triple Play. There is not a whole lot of difference here between these two teams with the exception of the home and road records so we will take the value play on a pitcher no one wants any part of. Grayson Rodriguez has an 8.23 ERA so he is struggling after missing all of last season but he is looking a lot like Jose Soriano from last season. Six of his eight starts have come at home and he has been awful with a 10.22 ERA and 2.03 WHIP in those games and while it is a small sample size, he has a 3.48 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in his two road outings. The Giants are on an equally bad run with a 7-12 record in their last 19 games which is just one game better than the Angels over that stretch. Logan Webb is struggling despite coming off a quality outing as he has an 8.10 ERA over his last three starts. He has been really good or really bad and while mostly good, the Giants are just 5-12 in his 17 starts. 10* (929) Los Angeles Angels

This is a play on the TORONTO BLUE JAYS as part of our MLB Friday Triple Play. Boston had its 15-game winning streak snapped with a loss against Baltimore in the second game of its doubleheader against the Orioles on Wednesday and is now back to three games over .500. Six of the wins were at home where the Red Sox remain under .500, where they are 23-28. Patrick Sandoval made his season debut right before the All Star Break and it was a decent start where he allowed just one run but went only 4.1 innings and his first start after the break was not good, as he allowed four earned runs on nine hits in five innings against Tampa Bay. Toronto broke its four-game skid with a 3-1 win on Thursday thanks to another great start by Shane Bieber. The Blue Jays are hoping for something similar from Trey Yesavage who bounced back with a quality start against the White Sox. He has been surprisingly bad with a 4.15 ERA at home but backs it up with a 3.32 xERA and 1.13 WHIP. 10* (917) Toronto Blue Jays

This is a play on the NEW YORK METS as part of our MLB Friday Triple Play. The Dodgers took two of three at Philadelphia to open their roadtrip 4-2 after a series win over the Yankees prior and now have the best matchup series but this is not the spot. Roki Sasaki has been a major disappointment as he has a 4.98 ERA and 1.34 WHIP through 17 starts where he has allowed 19 home runs. He had a solid four-game run in late May and early June where he had a 1.47 ERA across 24.1 innings and it looked like he was finally showing his potential but has put up a 6.91 ERA in six starts since then. The Dodgers are just 9-8 in his starts. The Mets were unable to take their series win against the Phillies into Milwaukee as they dropped two of three but are back home with three good pitching matchups. Sean Manaea opened the second half with a poor start against the Phillies but he has actually been good since entering the rotation as he had a 3.94 in his previous six starts. 10* (908) New York Mets
