Two good pitchers off to poor starts square off in Philadelphia as Noah Syndergaard and the Mets take on Aaron Nola and the Phillies. In 19 innings, Syndergaard walked two and allowed thirteen hits, but despite those excellent number ten runs crossed the plate. Opponents are five for eleven against him with runners in scoring position. Nola’s 6.46 ERA, on the other hand, is well deserved. He allowed five home runs and eight walks in 15 1/3 innings.
Trevor Bauer leads the Indians into Seattle to face Yusei Kikuchi. Bauer has been a little wild this season, with eight walks in 19 2/3 innings, but makes up for it by being difficult to hit. Kikuchi makes the fifth start of his MLB career. He’s showing excellent control with just three walks in 21 2/3 innings. He did allow four home runs, however.
Finally, the Reds join the Dodgers for a celebration of Jackie Robinson as Luis Castillo takes on Clayton Kershaw. Castillo has the same number of walks and innings as Bauer, and like Bauer, his high K rate makes him tough to hit. Opponents managed just five hits against Castillo, all singles. Kershaw returns to the mound after a shoulder injury. He struck out 12 in 10 1/3 minor league innings warming up for the season.
