Saturday’s Pitchers to Stream
-
Landen Roupp, RHP for the San Francisco Giants, has had an inconsistent start this season. He boasts an impressive 29.9% strikeout rate and has allowed only one home run in 15 innings. However, he scores a high 10.4% walk rate and a concerning .410 BABIP. With a facing-off against a Los Angeles Angels lineup striking out at the eighth-highest rate, Roupp could have a strong outing.
-
Matthew Liberatore, LHP for the St. Louis Cardinals, is underrepresented by his 3.93 ERA, displaying improved command with just one walk and one home run allowed over 18⅓ innings. He faces a Mets lineup struggling against left-handed pitchers at Citi Field, a more favorable pitching environment.
-
Casey Mize, RHP for the Detroit Tigers, has added a cutter to his pitching mix and is coming off a tough outing but has shown overall improvement. He is well-positioned for success at home against the Kansas City Royals, who have struggled against right-handed pitchers.
Pitchers to Avoid on Saturday
-
Avoid Nathan Eovaldi, RHP for the Texas Rangers, in his home game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. His pitching velocity has seen a decline, with increasing average exit velocity and Hard Hit% against him.
