Another Friday means another jam-packed MLB slate with a plethora of aces taking the hill. Shane Bieber, Lucas Giolito, Kenta Maeda, and Luis Castillo headline the pitching.

J.D. Martinez Showing Signs Of Life In September

Boston Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez has had an extremely disappointing year overall, slashing .227/.313/.404 with just four home runs and 18 RBI.
