The trade deadline is over, and we saw some blockbusters happen. We now have less than two months left in the season, so we're mainly interested in seeing which teams stay competitive.

Philadelphia Phillies at Washington Nationals
Zack Wheeler started the season rough but has turned it around over the last few weeks. He has seven-consecutive quality starts with a 2.76 ERA, and opposing batters have a .244 BABIP. When you compare that to the .326 BABIP in the previous 17 starts, it shows that he's been able to induce weak contact recently. He just saw the Nationals a couple of weeks ago and went six innings, allowing three earned in the win.
On the other side of that matchup was Trevor Williams, and he was shelved, allowing six earned in 4.2 innings. This has been the trend for Williams over the four starts, as he has a 9.46 ERA, and opposing batters have a .361 BABIP.
Lock in a win for the Phillies.
Parlay Odds: +498
San Fransisco Giants at Atlanta Braves
Max Fried has been great after missing three months with a forearm strain. In the three starts since his return, he has a 3.38 ERA, opposing batters have a .624 OPS, and the Braves have won all three of the starts. His history against the Giants could serve him well, as this lineup has a .174 slugging and 28.7 strikeout percentage lifetime against Fried.
Jakob Junis is getting back-to-back starts for the first time this season. He looked great in his last start against the Rays, going four scoreless innings and seven strikeouts.
Atlanta is on an incredible run at the moment, winning 10 of their last 12 and becoming the first team to eclipse 80 wins. I like another solid outing for Fried and a Braves win.
Parlay Odds: +618
Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees
Aside from Gerrit Cole, Clarke Schmidt has been one of the better pitchers in this Yankees rotation that has been filled with injuries and poor performances. We'll see how well he can come back after his worse start of the year, allowing eight earned in 2.1 innings against the Braves. He's pitched well previously against Boston this year, but lack of run support had the Yankees lose both starts.
The Red Sox will rely on the bullpen to try and get the sweep in the Bronx. Josh Winckowski will get his first start of the year, but he's familiar with the role, with 14 starts last season, but he was just 5-7 with a 5.75 ERA.
The Yankees losing streak needs to end at some point. This is a great opportunity for them to come away with a win with Schmidt on the mound.
