The White Sox try to extend their winning streak to six games as Derek Holland faces the Tigers and Michael Fulmer. Holland posted a 4.93 ERA from 2015-2016, but so far in 2017 it stands at 1.99. That three-run drop appears to be partly due to a rise in his K rate and a drop in his home run rate. His FIPs, however are much closer to the previous two seasons. Fulmer avoided the sophomore slump so far, raising his strikeout game with 23 K in his first 25 IP of 2017. A right-handed pitcher, he owns left-handed batters this season, holding them to a .138/.200/.200 slash line.
The Phillies continue their series with the Dodgers as Zach Eflin tries to work his magic against Brandon McCarthy. Eflin allowed a home run about every five innings in his 2016 rookie campaign. He allowed just one in 12 innings so far this year. McCarthy is keeping batters off base with a .289 OBP allowed. Couple that with opponents going just 2 for 11 with runners in scoring position, and McCarthy owns a 2.25 ERA.
Enjoy!
