Graham Ashcraft will be making his eighth start of the year. Tonight, he'll face the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. While Ashcraft has a strikeout rate of just 5.9 per nine innings this year, that number has risen lately.
In his last outing, he punched out eight batters in eight strong innings of work facing the San Francisco Giants. He also achieved a career-high 104 pitches, which is a great sign moving forward. Cubs hitters have the sixth-highest strikeout rate in the National League.

Aaron Nola has a ton of experience facing the Braves, and recently he's been pretty successful against his division rivals. Nola shut down this Atlanta lineup back in May, tossing 8 1/3 frames of one-run ball while fanning 10. Look for Nola, who is averaging over 7 1/3 innings pitched in his previous six starts, to at least record one out in the seventh on Thursday.

"Logan Gilbert, Wicked 86mph Slider." - Rob Friedman
Logan Gilbert has had an All-Star-worthy season so far. He can add to that case on Thursday against the Athletics. Oakland ranks 29th in total runs scored this year, and they're an abysmal 27 games under .500. Gilbert is 8-3 with a 2.44 ERA, and he's earned the victory in three of his five starts this month.
The Mariners have been playing better recently, winning seven of their last 10, so expect Gilbert to receive enough support to notch his ninth win on Thursday.
