Good Day for Foltynewicz

Mike Foltynewicz pitched six strong innings on Monday as the Braves beat the Giants 5-3. Foltynewicz allowed three hits and two walks, leading to just one run. He evens his record at 2-2 and lowers his ERA to 3.51.

Foltynewicz figured strongly among the top picks for a hit, calculated by the neural network (NN). It provides a good example of why you need to take the recommendations with a grain of salt. Only Joe Panik picked up a hit in the game among those suggested by the NN. Buster Posey did not play. The Giants were in Colorado on Sunday, and had to travel across country to play an early afternoon game. That’s a tough schedule for even a good offense like the Giants.
