All games today start at approximately 3 PM EDT. For some reason, the Cubs game is not scheduled to start until 3:20 PM.
The Dodgers send Rich Hill against the Giants and rookie pitcher Andrew Suarez. It looks like the Dodgers are trying to save Walker Buehler for the play-off or wild card game if needed. Hill is 4-0 in September despite a 5.09 ERA. Suarez owns a 3.18 ERA at home, 5.26 on the road, thanks to better walk and home run rates in San Francisco.
Detroit sends rookie Spencer Turnbull against the Brewers and Gio Gonzalez. Turnbull has 11 MLB innings under his belt, allowing seven runs despite just two walks and no home runs allowed. Opponents are 4 for 11 with runners in scoring position. Gonzalez has a 2.66 ERA in four starts since joining Milwaukee.
Washington decided to start rookie Eric Fedde instead of Max Scherzer against the Rockies, as this game does not mean life or death for the Rockies in terms of making the playoffs. Fedde pitched 61 2/3 innings in the majors over the last two seasons, allowing 11 homers and 29 walks in 61 2/3 innings. The Rockies start Tyler Anderson, who is 0-6 with a 6.91 ERA since the All-Star break.
Finally, the Cardinals are left to play spoilers as rookie Jack Flaherty faces the Cubs and Mike Montgomery. Flaherty had a fine rookie season, striking out 179 in 148 1/3 innings, good for a 3.16 ERA. Montgomery made two starts and two relief appearances against St. Louis this season, allowing no home runs in 15 innings.
