Aaron Nola vs. Colorado Rockies

It is a strange thing to say when we have 30 pitchers to choose from, but Nola is basically sitting up here by himself on this slate in my opinion.

Nola has been on a tear over his past nine starts. Let’s take a look at his numbers since that April 21st start against Pittsburgh.

60 IP, 28.3% K%, 13.4% SwStr%, 5.7% BB%, 2.92 SIERA, 55% GB%, 31.6% Hard%
