"If I see a new sweeper grip, I almost always pick the ball up and throw it that next day. I can't get it, but I'm relentless. I'll get it one of these days. I'll get it. Or I'll get something else."

The Royals have a 3-6 record in games they were favored on the moneyline, winning 33.3% of those games.

Chapman has converted 35 of 37 save opportunities, registering a 1.22 ERA in that span. However, at 38 years old, his fastball velocity has decreased significantly.

The Angels have been the moneyline favorite just once so far this season, a game they won. Los Angeles has won nine, or 47.4%, of the 19 games it has played as the underdog this season.

Several teams have experimented with a six-man rotation over the years, and it's virtually a requirement for the Dodgers thanks to the presence of Shohei Ohtani and his unique needs as a two-way player. It's become increasingly common for teams aside from the one that employs Ohtani, however. MLB.com's Mike Petriello wrote prior to the 2025 campaign that starts on five days of rest have become more common than the traditional four days of rest associated with a standard five-man rotation.
