Francisco Liriano face Jake Arrieta as the Pirates try to gain on the Cubs. Liriano’s ERA is up more than a run and a half as opponents are pounding him with home runs. He allowed 15 HR in 186 2/3 innings in 2015. So far this season, he allowed 13 HR in just 67 2/3 innings. Arrieta goes for his 11th win after his first loss since 7/25/2015. In the last calendar year, he is 26-2 with a 1.23 ERA in 33 starts.
The White Sox send Jose Quintana against the Indians and Trevor Bauer. Quintana pitched to some bad luck this year, with a 5-7 record and a 2.66 ERA. He struck out 44 and allowed just one home run in 42 1/3 innings on the road. Bauer owns a 4.75 ERA at home. He allowed four of his six home runs in Cleveland.
The Giants, who were once supposed to move to Tampa Bay, try to beat the Rays with Jeff Samardzija. Chris Archer takes the hill for the Rays. Samardzija pitched well in his two career starts against the Rays, but did not get a decision. Archer is giving up home runs at a prodigious rate, 15 in his first 80 innings. He allowed 19 home runs in 212 innings last season.
Finally, Joe Ross battles Christian Friedrich as the Nationals face the Padres. Ross is not suffering a sophomore slump, as he has a lower ERA than his 2015 rookie season. After this start, his IP should be about the same as 2015, and his three-true outcomes are right in line with last season as well. Friedrich currently owns an ERA three runs below his career average. The move from Colorado to San Diego seemed to help.
