The Braves visit the Yankees, a possible World Series preview. Anibal Sanchez takes on German Marquez. The pitching match-up takes a back seat to the young talent on these teams. The Braves offer Ronald Acuna and Ozzie Albies, while the Yankees counter with Miguel Andujar and Gleyber Torres. All four are showing excellent power, the four combining for 50 home runs so far.
Boston heads south on I-95 to Washington as Rick Porcello faces Max Scherzer. Procello pitched well on the road this season. His innings are about even, but he allowed just three of his ten home runs away, helping him to a 3.42 ERA on the road. Scherzer is 2-2 against the AL this season with a 1.75 ERA. He walked six and struck out 48 in 36 innings in those five starts.
Finally, the Giants try to tame Coors Field as Madison Bumgarner faces the Rockies and Kyle Freeland. Bumgarner is pitching well back from his injury, he’s just not winning much. He walked nine and struck out 25 in 32 1/3 innings, but that K rate is down. Freeland pitched great at Coors this season, owning a 2.95 ERA in six starts. He allowed six home runs there, but all were solo shots, and is allowing a .133 BA with runners in scoring position.
Enjoy!
