EARLY SLATE
We have four-game slates across the industry today for the early games, and we don’t have much in the way of starting pitching when it comes down to it.
I am sure most people will tell you to just pay up for Jose Berrios if you are playing cash games. But I think there is actually a decision to be made between he and Chris Archer when you factor in price. If we look at 2018 numbers, these guys aren’t all that far apart.
Berrios: 150 IP, 24 starts, 24.9% K%, 11.1% SwStr%, 6.8% BB%, 3.74 SIERA, 41% GB%, 33.5% Hard%
