Milwaukee and Washington are first place teams heading in different directions as they meet Tuesday night. Zach Davies takes on Edwin Jackson. The Brewers lost seven of their last eight games, scoring three runs or fewer in all seven losses. Their lead over the Cubs is down to 1/2 game. The Nationals won eight of their last ten games, scoring six runs or more five times.
Danny Duffy and Michael Fulmer butt heads for the second start in a row, this time with the Royals visiting the Tigers. Duffy came out on top last time as he allowed four runs in five innings, but Fulmer gave up eight runs, five earned in 2 2/3 innings. Both are much better pitchers than that game indicates.
Seattle tries to make it two in a row against Boston as Drew Pomeranz faces Felix Hernandez. Pomeranz owns a much better ERA on the road than at home, despite a better set of three-true outcomes at home. It seems to be just luck, as the opposition is hitting .200 against with runners in scoring position at home, .209 on the road. Hernandez looked like the King again over his last three starts. That return to form would do wonders to help Seattle’s playoff chances.
Enjoy!
