What to watch today

The stat at stake: Otto Lopez carries a .346 average into today. A .400 finish would take roughly a .471 clip the rest of the way (131-for-278) — extreme territory, but every multi-hit day moves the math, and every 0-for-4 costs about two points.

Club watch: Pete Crow-Armstrong sits at 19 HR / 23 SB — 11 homers short and 7 steals short of a 30/30 season, projecting to 34/41.
