Examining end of season team and pitcher motivations (Part II)

An important aspect to remember as we embark on the last week of the regular season is team motivation. We can’t just assume a pitcher is set for his normal workload. Teams generally fall into one of four categories when it comes to pitcher workload management this time of year: getting pitchers ready for the post-season, still playing for a post-season spot, more cautiously managing the workload of younger pitchers or those with recent injuries, all systems go. A short five game slate allows us to examine all 10 pitchers tonight and see what category they fall into.

Blake Snell could fall into a couple of categories. The Rays are tied for the second wild card, but has thrown just two major league innings since July 21st. He can’t possibly be considered for a normal workload and is far too expensive for anything but. Similarly, Jhoulys Chacin has not faced more than 15 batters in an outing for the Red Sox.

Chandler Shepherd, Caleb Smith and Alex Young are all in their first full season. Shepherd hasn’t reached 120 innings on the year, but has been limited to four innings (19 batters) or less in all three major league outings. Smith is above 150 innings for the first time in his professional career and hasn’t necessarily been more limited, but has just a 21 K%, 6.08 ERA, 6.03 FIP and .342 xwOBA over the last 30 days. Alex Young is right around his workload for the last three seasons. He’s interesting due to a 12.7 SwStr% with a .308 xwOBA and 6.5% Barrels/BBE, but his estimators are all well above his ERA due to a .245 BABIP and more than 20% of his runs being unearned.

Clay Buchholz is not young and does have a favorable matchup (Orioles 85 wRC+ vs RHP), but he has been injured and bad (13.6 K%, ERA & estimators all above five, .366 xwOBA, 12.3% Barrels/BBE). The Orioles also pounded him for seven runs and two HRs in his last start.

This Lineup Doesn't Scare Anyone

Alex Young has struggled in a lot of spots this season, but with the limited options in this price range, he's one of my favorite plays on this slate. The Giants projected starting lineup has a .155 ISO with a .321 wOBA against left-handed pitching this season. They've been a bottom five offense against lefties all season. Young has a .283 wOBA with a .115 ISO and a 53% ground ball rate against right-handed hitters this season. This lineup is filled with powerless righties.

Risky With Strikeout Upside

We don't have a lot of cheap pitching options on this slate, and I'm willing to attack the upside with the risk. The projected starting lineup has a 28.9% strikeout rate against left-handed pitching this season. Elvis Andrus is the only hitter with a strikeout rate under 25% against left-handed pitching this season. Young has a 15.2% swinging strike rate with a 24.8% strikeout rate in AAA this season. His walks are the biggest concern but like I said, with limited options, I'm willing to roll the dice.

Value Arm

In matchups against left-handed pitching this year, the Giants rank last in the league in ISO at .112, last in the league in wOBA at .265, 23rd in walk rate at 7.6%, and they have an above average strikeout rate. This is a good matchup for young lefty Alex Young, who is a fine salary saving SP tonight despite the fact that he is making his major league debut. Young showed solid strikeout ability at the minor league level, and he couldn't ask for a better landing spot in his debut.

Can He Keep The Walks Down?

Alex Young will be making his Major League debut tonight, and with limited options on this slate, I'm willing to roll the dice on him in this matchup. He has a 15.2% swinging strike rate with a 24.8% strikeout rate in 54.2 innings in AAA this season. His biggest issue has been walks, but he's been able to limit home runs in the PCL. The Giants rank 30th in team wOBA and 30th in wRC+ against lefties this season.
