Tonight

15 games on the slate — the marquee: Yankees @ Cubs at 2026-07-31T18:20:00.0000000+00:00.

Shota Imanaga is dealing — 1.55 ERA over his last five starts. That matters because Paul Goldschmidt bats .322 against lefties over 121 AB, giving New York a clear matchup to test Imanaga. With Wrigley playing pitcher-friendly (-8% runs vs average) and the Cubs riding recent offensive form, Imanaga's hot stretch could set the tone in what looks like a low-scoring game.

Watch list

Pirates @ Reds — Hunter Greene has dominated Pittsburgh Pirates — .177 BAA with a 33% strikeout rate over 199 plate appearances across 4 seasons.
