The best pitching match-up of the day pits Jon Lester and the Cubs against the surprising Braves and rookie Mike Soroka. With a win today, Lester would be 70 games over .500 for his career, his record currently standing at 162-93. Since his rookie year of 2006, he is one of ten pitchers with 200 decisions and a better than .600 winning percentage.
Soroka allowed 21 hits in 14 2/3 major league innings. Those hits have not caused him too much trouble, as he struck out 15, walked just four, and allowed one home run. If he keeps up his three-true outcome rates, the hits should drop and his ERA is likely to improve.
Enjoy!
