Happy Wednesday! We’ve got ourselves a nice 10-game slate tonight with a few good pitchers followed by a conglomerate of decent, but not great pitching that should help spread out the offense.

Wednesday Night Pitching

I see the pitching split up into a few different tiers tonight, and then we’ll whittle them down to a smaller group of pitching options. Since we’ve got a couple starts for most of these guys, I’ll use the 2019-2020 combined stats, with 2018 added in for the three pitchers that missed most of last season:

THE TWO ACES

Mike Clevinger vs Reds – 33.1% K, 7.7% BB, 2.89 ERA, 3.38 SIERA
Yu Darvish at Royals – 31.3% K, 7.4% BB, 3.91 ERA, 3.50 SIERA
