Happy Friday! We’ve had a couple strong pitching days, with all the aces performing as expected. This has led so some lower scoring games, and most of the fireworks have come late in games against opposing bullpens. At first glance, this slate looks like we should see a shift back towards offense, but let’s dig in and see what we find.

*ACES – One, Maybe Two…. Maybe Zero?

Walker Buehler vs Rockies
Aaron Nola at Braves

Based on 2019 stats and 2020 expectations, there is one ace on this slate, and that is Walker Buehler. But if we base it on the smaller sample 2020 stats, there is also one ace on this slate, but it’s Aaron Nola.
