The Rangers and Indians continue their series with Yu Darvish facing Trevor Bauer. Darvish’s ERA on the road is over a run and a half better at home. He allowed just four of his 13 home runs away. Bauer is one of a number of pitchers this season who is making me doubt the value of strikeouts as a hit reducer. Bauer’s ERA stands at 5.53. His FIPs put his ERA in the high 3.00s, as his strikeout rate is great, while his walk and HR rates are so-so. He should be able to withstand those, but batters are hitting .270 against him, and nine of his 14 home runs have come with men on base. In fact, it is very difficult to put a runner on base against Bauer, but once a base is occupied, the flood gates open.
Enjoy!
