MLB Probable Pitchers for Saturday, August 20 (Who's Starting for Every MLB Team Today?)
By Ben Heisler
The last time Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Drew Rasmussen stepped on the mound, he was three outs away from the first perfect game in MLB history since Félix Hernandez of the Seattle Mariners back on August 15, 2012.
Unfortunately, Jorge Mateo got him on the first pitch and the 10-plus year streak would have to continue.
Rasmussen and the Tampa Bay Rays are -205 moneyline favorites this afternoon when they host the Kansas City Royals. All in all, we've got a 16-game slate in the Big Leagues throughout the day, with the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies taking part in a day-night doubleheader.
