The Guardians beat the Astros with the only run of the game but there was more scoring elsewhere, with the Phillies and Royals each scoring 13 in their wins, while the Cardinals beat the Yankees 12-9.

Best Bet of the Day
MLB: Under 8 in San Francisco Giants vs San Diego Padres
9:40 pm ET
In his start against the Giants earlier this season, Blake Snell of the Padres allowed 1 run and 3 hits in 6 innings while recording 11 strikeouts. The southpaw has improved since then as he has a 1.06 ERA and a 0.88 WHIP in his 3 starts since the all-star break. Opponents are 12-for-61 (.197) against Snell in the second half of the season as the lefty has found his rhythm. The Giants lineup has faced Snell for 58 plate appearances and has a .173 batting average with a 32.8% strikeout rate. This series opener will take place in a pitcher-friendly park. The under is 30-22-1 at Petco Park this season and Snell can continue his success to help keep this game under. Check out our full Giants vs Padres preview.
