Tuesday’s Starting Pitcher Rankings
Max Fried (SP – NYY) vs. TB
Max Fried is in a rut, but he has excellent numbers this season and a get-right matchup tonight. According to FanGraphs, Fried has the third-lowest ERA (2.62), the fourth-lowest xERA (3.48), the fifth-lowest xFIP (3.45) and the sixth-lowest SIERA (3.57) in 2025 among tonight’s probable starters.
Expanding upon Fried’s matchup that I mentioned above, the Rays are 21st in wRC+ (85) with a 23.1 K% versus lefties and 25th in wRC+ (90) with a 22.9 K% on the road in 2025. Tampa Bay was also tied for 25th in wRC+ (91) with a 22.1 K% in the previous 30 days. Thus, the Yankees are listed as -210 favorites, and the game’s total is 8.5 runs.
Tyler Glasnow (SP – LAD) at CIN
Tyler Glasnow has cooked with gas since returning from the Injured List (IL). In the righty’s past three starts spanning 18 innings, he’s had the following stats.
- 1.00 ERA
- 2.36 xFIP
- 2.64 SIERA
- 0.78 WHIP

- 33.8 K%

Glasnow has a favorable matchup and decent betting info tonight. The Reds are tied for 14th in wRC+ (102) with a 22.4 K% versus righties and 22nd in wRC+ (93) with a 22.6 K% at home this season. Cincinnati was also only 28th in wRC+ (89) with a 20.8 K% in the previous 30 days. So, the Dodgers are -150 favorites, and the game’s total is 9.0 runs.
Lucas Giolito (SP – BOS) at MIN
Unfortunately, Lucas Giolito has coughed up nine earned runs in only 9.1 innings in his previous two starts. Nevertheless, in his previous five starts spanning 30 innings, Giolito had a 3.00 ERA, 4.04 xFIP, 4.06 SIERA, 1.07 WHIP, 5.8 BB%, 21.5 K%, 12.2 SwStr% and 27.2 CSW%. He also recorded three wins and three quality starts.
Giolito has a bounce-back matchup and rock-solid betting info tonight. The Twins are tied for 20th in wRC+ (100) with a 21.5 K% versus righties and tied for 14th in wRC+ (105) with a 21.2 K% at home this year. Minnesota was also 21st in wRC+ (96) with a 23.1 K% in the previous 30 days. Finally, the Red Sox are -120 favorites, and the game’s total is 8.5 runs.
Suggested Lineup Stacks
The Mariners didn’t take full advantage of the hitter-friendly conditions at Sutter Health Park last night, but they have another golden opportunity tonight against Luis Severino. The 31-year-old righty has a putrid 6.68 ERA in 66 innings at home, coughing up a .341 wOBA to 149 left-handed batters faced and a .378 wOBA to 159 right-handed batters faced. Seattle’s lefties and righties are exciting stacking options tonight.
- Home (Sutter Health Park)
- Game Total/Moneyline: 10.5 Runs/ATH -105
The Athletics can also take advantage of their hitter-friendly ballpark against an overachieving rookie. Logan Evans has a 3.64 ERA in 11 starts this season. However, his 5.50 xERA, 4.63 xFIP and 4.73 SIERA are more indicative of the quality of Evans’ work and what to expect going forward. Moreover, even though Evans has been quite lucky this year, he’s allowed a .331 wOBA to righties and a .351 wOBA to lefties. As a result, all Athletics are stackable hitters tonight.
