Luis Arraez of the Miami Marlins is hitting nearly .400 despite having one of the game’s softest swings. He could become the third player with a batting title in each league.

Aces around the majors are ready to go, with the Yankees’ Gerrit Cole facing Logan Webb of the Giants and the Mets’ Max Scherzer facing Sandy Alcantara of the Marlins.
