Joe Ross leads the Nationals against Aaron Nola and the Phillies. Ross owns a 1.61 ERA on the road this season, where he allowed just one of his four home runs. Nola does a good job of keeping the ball in the park also, with just five home runs allowed this season.
In the battle of the initials, the Yankees send CC Sabathia against J.A. Happ and the Blue Jays. Sabathia continues the home run theme. He’s one of two pitchers with at least 40 IP to allow just one home run. Happ makes his third start against the Yankees, with a 2-0 record and 1.38 ERA.
Gerrit Cole and Jose Fernandez do battle as the Pirates play the Marlins. Cole is 4-1 with a 2.05 ERA on the road, thanks to just 26 hits and seven walks in 30 2/3 innings. Fernandez makes his 11th start of the season, matching his total from last year after returning from Tommy John surgery. He struck out 79 in those 11 starts; he’s already struck out 90 this season in four fewer innings.
Finally Scott Kazmir takes on Jake Arrieta, as the Dodgers try to even the series with the Cubs. Kazmir’s home run rate nearly doubled compared to last year, raising his ERA 1.74 runs. Arrieta tries for 10 wins in two months without a loss. He’s allowed just one run in night games this season, and just eight hits in 30 innings.
Enjoy!
