Charlie Morton goes for his eighth win without a loss as the Astros face CC Sabathia and the Yankees. Since joining the Astros in 2017, batters find Morton tough to hit. His .214 BA allowed ranks ninth lowest in the majors in that time frame. After allowing a 1.69 ERA in April, Sabathia gave up a 6.05 ERA so far in May. Despite a higher K rate in the month, Sabathia gave up more hits.
The Cubs try to push the Pirates further down in the NL Central as Jon Lester takes on rookie Nick Kingham. Lester owns an outstanding 2.37 ERA this season, but gave up four runs in five innings against the Pirates earlier this year. In his first 18 1/3 innings, Kinghmam walked just two batters while striking out 21.
Finally, Jake Arrieta leads the Phillies against the Dodgers and Kenta Maeda. Arrieta allowed just one home run at home and one on the road, but 29 K at home and just six on the road. The low K rate leads to a 5.12 ERA away. Maeda owns a 2.88 ERA at home this year versus 3.86 on the road. He’s allowed fewer hits and walks away in the same amount of innings, so the difference looks like good luck in Los Angeles.
Enjoy!
