![]() ![]() I could see this being a possible pitcher’s duel, however, with the wind blowing straight in.Īt the risk of sounding like a broken record, the As are still bad, Drew Rucinski isn’t a good pitcher in general (and D-backs don’t need much help), and Merrill Kelly has been good enough vs weaker offenses this season that he can be trusted in this spot. So the #2 award for the slate likely goes to Freddy Peralta. Flaherty also has not been sharp in his last two outings – although the STL offense didn’t do him many favors during that time either. That leaves us with Peralta & Flaherty – STL & MIL faced off the 1st week of April, and Peralta had the better outing of the two. & Salvador Perez are the Rs that drive the KC offense. ![]() Wacha is probably the 3rd of that bunch for me – given his lower K rate vs Rs – and Bobby Witt Jr. All three have safe park + weather matchups, and have the stuff to limit offenses, but their opponents have all shown dangerous sides lately. SP2 for this slate feels like a close race between Freddy Peralta, Michael Wacha, & Jack Flaherty. The Cubs are really struggling as an offense right now, and Valdez has the perfect combo of K-upside and GB-forcing contact that the Cubs don’t want to see right now. ![]() There are a number of decent options for SP1, but the winner for me is Framber Valdez. ![]()
