TEX
1
HOU Starter
Spencer Arrighetti
6 IP · 3 H · 1 ER · 3 K · 1 BB · 94 PC
HOU Batters
Jeremy Peña (SS) 2-4 (1 HR, 1 RBI)
Cam Smith (RF) 2-4 (1 RBI)
Insight
Spencer Arrighetti has been locked in lately, and tonight was more of the same. He went 6 innings, gave up just 1 run, and the offense did enough to get the W.
TEX Starter
Nathan Eovaldi
7 IP · 4 H · 5 ER · 6 K · 2 BB · 90 PC
TEX Batters
Josh Jung (3B) 2-3 (1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 BB)
Ezequiel Duran (SS) 2-4
Insight
Nathan Eovaldi had been pitching really well his last two starts, so giving up 5 runs tonight was a tough night for him and the Rangers offense could not bail him out.
Chicago Cubs (CHC) @ Pittsburgh Pirates (PIT)
PNC Park
CHC

PIT

CHC Starter
Colin Rea
5.1 IP · 4 H · 2 ER · 5 K · 3 BB · 92 PC
CHC Batters
Ian Happ (LF) 3-5 (1 HR, 2 RBI)
Seiya Suzuki (RF) 2-5 (2 RBI)
Insight
The Cubs offense showed up in a big way, with Ian Happ going 3-for-5 with a homer and the bullpen holding things down late. The Cubs offense has been trending up and it showed tonight.
PIT Starter
Paul Skenes
5.1 IP · 4 H · 1 ER · 10 K · 3 BB · 103 PC
PIT Batters
Bryan Reynolds (DH) 2-3 (1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 BB)
Insight
Paul Skenes had 10 strikeouts but the Pirates offense could not give him any run support, and Pittsburgh's offense has been trending down bad lately so this result was not a huge surprise.
Los Angeles Angels (LAA) @ Detroit Tigers (DET)
Comerica Park
LAA

LAA Starter
Grayson Rodriguez
5 IP · 2 H · 1 ER · 5 K · 2 BB · 88 PC

5.2 IP · 6 H · 3 ER · 9 K · 1 BB · 91 PC
DET Batters
Wenceel Pérez (RF) 2-3 (1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 BB)
Insight
Detroit's offense and starting pitching had been trending up lately, so this one went against the grain. Jack Flaherty has been inconsistent all year and tonight he could not hold the Angels down.
Minnesota Twins (MIN) @ Chicago White Sox (CWS)
Rate Field
MIN

CWS
6
MIN Starter
Simeon Woods Richardson
2.2 IP · 5 H · 5 ER · 4 K · 3 BB · 67 PC
MIN Batters
Tristan Gray (SS) 2-4

CWS Batters
Tristan Peters (CF) 3-4 (1 RBI)
Colson Montgomery (SS) 2-4 (1 RBI)

Table Insights
Extracted from rolling tables above.
Strongest
ARI Fade
FADE: The Arizona bullpen looks better than it actually is right now. Their ERA over the last week is nearly two full runs lower than what their underlying performance suggests, and the pen has been trending in the wrong direction lately.
CHC Value
VALUE: The Cubs bullpen has been quietly one of the better units in baseball over the past two weeks. They have a 1.98 ERA over the last seven days and have been climbing the rankings steadily, which is a good sign heading into the stretch.
SEA Fade
FADE: The Seattle bullpen looked great a month ago but has been slipping badly over the last two weeks. They have dropped from 8th to 22nd in bullpen rankings over that stretch, and the team as a whole has been losing momentum.
SF Value
VALUE: The Giants bullpen has been one of the more reliable groups in baseball lately, sitting inside the top 11 this past week with a 2.49 ERA. Considering they have been dealing with a tough schedule, holding that kind of number is genuinely impressive.
NYM Fade
FADE: The Mets rotation has been getting hit hard lately, putting up a 6.95 ERA over the past week. What makes it worse is they have been doing this against an easier schedule, so the results are hard to explain away.
NYY Fade
FADE: The Yankees starters have posted a sparkling 0.85 ERA this past week, but that number looks too good to hold up. They have been pitching in a stretch against easier competition, and the rotation has been losing momentum recently.
SF Value
VALUE: San Francisco starters have a rough ERA on the surface over the past week, but the Giants have actually been pitching better than the run totals show. They have been doing this against a tough schedule, which makes the underlying performance worth watching.
STL Fade
FADE: The Cardinals rotation has been giving up a lot of runs lately, posting a 6.00 ERA this past week against softer competition. The team has also been losing ground recently, so there is not much reason to trust this group right now.
PIT Fade
FADE: Pittsburgh's offense looks average at best, scoring just 4 runs per game and sitting right at league average in production. The team has been sliding lately and the offense has not given them much reason for optimism.
SF Value
VALUE: The Giants offense has been one of the more productive lineups in baseball recently, ranking 7th in run scoring over the past week at over 5 runs per game. They have been doing this against a hard schedule, which makes the hot stretch even more meaningful.
