The Diamondbacks are exceeding expectations as they travel to Washington to play the disappointing Nationals. Zack Godley takes on Baseball Jesus, otherwise know as Stephen Strasburg. Godley throws two fastballs, a sinker and a cutter, which strikes me as an usual mix. That results in both a high strikeout rate and a high ground ball rate. Strasburg is now 32-10 since the start of the 2016 season. This is the last year of his prime, and he’s certainly making the most of those seasons.
Sean Manaea leads the Athletics into Houston to face Dallas Keuchel. Manaea is coming off his no-hitter against the Red Sox, and faces another AL powerhouse offense. He allowed just 16 hits in his 27 2/3 innings before his no-hitter. The BABIP against him is a ridiculous .135, likely due to only allowing 13% of balls in play against him to go as line drives. Opponents are just 4 for 27 against Keuchel with runners in scoring position this year.
Enjoy!
