Pitching Matchups, Odds, and Analysis for every MLB game today (04/21)

Tampa Bay Rays @ New York Yankees

1:35 pm ET | Yankee Stadium

Moneyline: Rays (+110), Yankees (-130)

  • Aaron Civale TB, RHP (2-1, 2.74 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, 23 IP, 26 SOs)
  • Luis Gil RHP NYY, RHP (0-1, 3.86 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, 14 IP, 20 SO)

The Yankees are the home favorites against Aaron Civale and the Rays today. The Yankees are sending Luis Gil to the mound, who has 35 walks in 47.1 career innings. He also has 63 punchouts.

Aaron Civale vs. Yankees Hitters

The Yankees have a .333 average off Civale in 51 collective at-bats. They are slugging .627 with four homers and three doubles. Anthony Rizzo and Giancarlo Stanton both have two homers each off of Civale.

Houston Astros @ Washington Nationals

1: 35 pm ET | Nationals Park

Moneyline: HOU (-192), WAS (+160)

  • Cristian Javier HOU, RHP (2-0, 1.54, 1.11 WHIP, 23.1 IP, 18 SO)
  • Mitchell Parker WSH, LHP (1-0, 3.60 ERA, 0.80 WHIP, 5 IP, 4 SO)

The Astros are 7-15 and have really struggled to start the season. They made the Nationals look great at 9-11. Home underdogs always catch my eye. It is worth nothing that Cristian Javier has completely dominated the hitters currently on the Nationals’ roster.

Cristian Javier vs. Washington Nationals Hitters

In 37 career at-bats, Nationals hitters have just three hits (.081 avg). This is in large part due to Joey Gallo going 1-16 against Javier.
