At the beginning of the season, it was hard to imagine that the Dodgers would have a southpaw with nearly as good of numbers as Clayton Kershaw. In 20 starts, Hill had a 2.12 ERA with a strikeout rate of 29.4%. The only knock on him is that he typically doesn’t pitch deep into games (91 pitches per start this season, 86 in his last five). He has been as effective on the road as he has been at home and he is listed as a small favorite today against the Nationals. The Dodgers are looking to head back to Los Angeles up 2-0 in the series.

Roark had a career year, posting a 2.83 ERA with a strikeout rate of 20.1%. He has been a regression candidate all season though, as his peripheral statistics aren’t nearly as good. While he does get to pitch at home, he draws a difficult matchup against the Dodgers, who were ranked sixth in team wOBA and seventh in team ISO against right-handed pitching. Roark comes in as the lowest ranked pitcher in this two-game slate.
Batter Grind Down
LA Dodgers
The Dodgers come into today’s game with the second-highest implied team total in the slate. While Tanner Roark has held both left and right-handed hitters under a .285 wOBA, he had a 4.85 xFIP against left-handed hitters. All of the lefties in this lineup are in play, as is Justin Turner, who loves playing in Nationals Park.

Washington
The Nationals need to find a way to win this game or they will fall in an 0-2 hole against the Dodgers. Unfortunately, they draw the most difficult matchup in the slate. In the regular season, Rich Hill held both left and right-handed hitters under a .245 wOBA. Jayson Werth is on my radar in all formats, but the rest of the Nationals’ hitters are secondary plays at best.

Tomlin has been one of my favorite pitchers to pick on this season. He is a slow-throwing right-hander that gives up a lot of hard contact. In 29 starts during the regular season, he posted a 4.24 SIERA with a strikeout rate of 16.3% and a hard contact rate of 34.1%. He draws a terrible matchup against the Red Sox, who are in a win-or-stay-home game at home. During the regular season, Boston led the majors in team wOBA and runs scored per game.

Buchholz had one of his worst seasons as a pro, posting a 5.09 SIERA with a strikeout rate of only 15.8%. He is listed as a sizable favorite today, but his matchup against the Indians is less than ideal. During the regular season, Cleveland was ranked tenth or better in team wOBA, team ISO, and team K% against right-handed pitching. I like the potential run support for Buchholz, but there is a good chance that he doesn’t pitch deep enough into the game to even be eligible for the win.

The Indians are one game away from advancing to the ALCS, but they have a tough test ahead of them playing in Fenway. They draw a favorable matchup against Clay Buchholz, who has allowed a .342 wOBA to left-handed hitters this season.

This could be David Ortiz final major league baseball game. Let that sink in for a minute.

It’s hard to believe that the Rangers’ playoff lives hinge on a start from Colby Lewis. They are a game away from being swept by the Blue Jays, who seem to have their number in the postseason (five straight wins). Lewis draws arguably the worst matchup in the slate and he has to face the Jays in the hitter-friendly Rogers Centre. This is not the spot to get cute with your pitcher. Lewis is an easy fade in all formats.

Sanchez was a lot better in the first half of the season, but he still finished the year with a 3.00 ERA and a strikeout rate of 20.4%. He is the largest favorite in the slate, but the total for the game is set at 9.0 runs. The Rangers need a win tonight or else they will be eliminated from the postseason, so we can expect their offense to show up here. Sanchez is my second favorite pitching target in the slate, but I have him quite a bit lower than Rich Hill.

The Rangers’ offense forgot to show up in the first two games of the series, but need a big performance tonight in order to keep their postseason hopes alive. They draw a decent matchup against Aaron Sanchez, who allowed a .292 wOBA to left-handed hitters during the regular season.
