Hello everyone, and welcome to Sunday!
We have a very healthy 10-game main slate on our hands today, with four pitchers being priced above $10k, and those being Max Scherzer, Jacob deGrom, Michael Fulmer, and Jon Gray, but for tournaments, I like none of them. You'll have to keep reading!
Instead, I wanted to talk about the Washington Nationals bats today against the extreme gas can that is Chad Kuhl, who owns a 5.67 SIERA, a 12.9% K-rate, a 7.9% SwK-rate, and a 31% GB-rate. But usually, I dive a little deeper in my articles, and see who has the better matchups, lefties or righties, and how
they do against RHP's. But here's the catch, everyone is in play, and by everyone, I mean,
everyone. I can't list out the entire Nationals starting lineup, but look at the lefty-righty splits Kuhl has-
| vs. L |
vs. R |
| xFIP: 6.45 |
xFIP: 5.64 |
| K%: 10.8% |
K%: 16.0% |
| BB%: 8.1% |
BB%: 8.0% |
| wOBA: .407 |
wOBA: .376 |
| Hard%: 40.0% |
Hard%: 42.1% |
Yes, it seems like lefties have the advantage, but if this pitcher was good against lefty bats, then we would be firing up the righties with confidence. So if there are any Nationals bats you would want to roster, you won't hear me complaining.
