The new faces the old as Lucas Giolito leads the Nationals against Bartolo Colon and the Mets. Washington leads New York by four games in the AL East as they play a four-game series leading into the All-Star break. Giolito only struck out one batter in four innings in his first MLB start (short due to rain), but only allowed one hit. Colon’s seasonal age is over twice that of Giolito. In his age 43 season, Colon owns a 2.87 ERA. He walked just 17 batters in 94 innings.
Rich Hill is a bright spot for Oakland as he faces the Astros and Doug Fister. Hill brings a 2.31 ERA into the game. His strengths are 80 K in 70 innings with just two home runs. That holds batters to a .206 BA. Fister owns a better ERA than his poor 2015 season, but in five fewer innings he walked more batters, allowing one more home run, and struck out just one more batter.
Enjoy!
