The Blue Jays take on the Rays as Kevin Gausman takes the hill against Ian Seymour. Gausman now ranks third in the Bill James Pitcher Rankings after a poor outing last night by Paul Skenes. Guasman owns a 2.25 ERA over his last ten starts. Seymour, pitching mostly as a reliever, struck out 52 batters in 42 2/3 innings.
The Padres and Mets continue their pushes for playoff slots as Nick Pivetta faces David Peterson. Batters find hits rarely against Pivetta this season, as he ranks fourth in the majors in batting average allowed at .191. Peterson posted a solid season, giving the Mets innings and keeping home runs down. He allowed just ten homers in 162 1/3 innings.
Finally, the Phillies go for a sweep of the Dodgers in Los Angeles with Jesus Luzardo battling Blake Snell. Luzardo owns 4.03 ERA overall, but pitched better lately with a 2.91 ERA over his last nine starts. Snell owns a 4-4 record despite a 2.79 ERA as he is not going deep in games yet.
Enjoy!
