Pitchers to Stream on Sunday
-
In his last outing, Tanner Houck, a right-handed pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, suffered significantly, allowing 11 earned runs in just over 2 innings. He now looks to improve his ERA during Sunday’s matchup at home against the Chicago White Sox.
-
Clay Holmes from the New York Mets is still acclimating to starting but has shown positive signs, striking out 18 hitters in his last two outings over 10.1 innings. Despite walking five batters, he hasn’t allowed any home runs this year. On Sunday, he faces a less powerful St. Louis Cardinals lineup in the spacious Citi Field.
Pitchers to Avoid on Sunday
-
The Cleveland Guardians may not seem formidable, but they tend to make contact and take walks, both of which can pose challenges for Mitch Keller of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Keller’s performance has been lackluster, with only 17 strikeouts in 23 innings, and he has issued eight walks. Particularly on the last day of head-to-head scoring, it could be wise to look for safer options.
