The Dodgers and Tigers are featured on FoxSports1 today as Hyun-Jin Ryu takes on Michael Fulmer. Ryu allowed 16 home runs in 96 2/3 innings, but opponents have only 19 RBI on those homers. He’s had trouble with runners in scoreing position, with a .272/.348/.444 slash line, but he’s kept the big power with men on. Fulmer does a better job limiting walks at home, with 13 BB in 75 2/3 innings, compared to 21 BB in 69 2/3 innings on the road.
CC Sabathia takes on Chris Sale as the Yankees try to even their series with the Red Sox. Sabathia last pitched Aug. 8th, as the Yankees put him on the disabled list to allow his knee some rest and healing time. Sabathia pitched his best against Boston this season, with 14 scoreless innings, allowing seven hits and five walks. Sale pitched quite well against New York as well, with a 1.19 ERA in three starts, 35 K and 4 BB in 22 2/3 innings. So of course, his is 0-1.
Milwaukee has a better shot at a division title, but they are still chasing Colorado and Arizona for the wild card. The Brewers face the Rockies with Brandon Woodruff battling Chad Bettis. Woodruff goes into the third start of his MLB career with a 1.50 ERA. He allowed 10 hits in 12 innings, but only one of those came with a runner in scoring position. Bettis threw seven shutout innings in his return from cancer treatment. I suspect his high number of balls in play, however, won’t play well in Coors long term.
Finally, Stephen Strasburg returns to the hill for the Nationals in his home town, facing the Padres and Travis Wood. Strasburg elbow/nerve issue seems to have healed. This is just his third start in his birthplace, and he won the first two. Wood pitched poorly for the Royals, and now he is pitching poorly for the Padres, making his poor pitching more alliterative.
Enjoy!
