Games of the Day

Wednesday afternoon features Blake Snell taking on Michael Fulmer as the Rays finish their series with the Astros. Snell looks for his fifth win of the season. His 41 strikeouts in just 35 2/3 innings held opponents to just 23 hits. Fulmer is giving up middle of the road BA/OBP/Slug, but opponents are hitting just .179 with runners in scoring position.

Ivan Nova and Stephen Strasburg meet in an early evening game between the Pirates and the Nationals. Since joining the Pirates, Nova allowed just slightly more home runs than walks. His home run rate is okay, but his walk rate is outstanding. Strasburg already allowed seven home runs after giving up an average of 14 over the previous three seasons. Six of those were solo shots, however.

Luis Severino and Dallas Keuchel square off in game three of the Yankees series at the Astros Severino comes into the game with a 4-1 record, and Keuchel is the opposite at 1-4. Severino’s higher K rate led to many fewer hits allowed, especially in home runs. Severino allowed two in 38 innings, Keuchel six in 36 innings.

Finally, Hyun-Jin Ryu leads the Dodgers against the Diamondbacks and Zack Godley. The Dodgers are using Ryu sparingly, but effectively. He pitched just 28 1/3 innings in five starts, but allowed just 15 hits. Godley only pitched 28 1/3 innings, but he pitched poorly in a couple of starts.

Enjoy!
