Seven of tonight's 16 starters average six or more innings per start this year, which is a large percentage. Just four average 5.1 IP or less per start and one of those doesn't really count because Ryan Yarbrough has only actually "started" three times and has exceeded five innings in four straight outings. The most potential for bullpen work is behind Wei-Yin Chen, Lucas Giolito and Wade LeBlanc. Chen is backed by a bullpen with a 5.00 FIP that's third worst in baseball over the last 30 days and a 4.7 K-BB% that's somehow only second worst (Orioles 3.1 K-BB%). Giolito easily has the worst numbers of any pitcher on the board, so bullpens should change the decision making process much, though the White Sox have a 3.46 FIP and 15.7 K-BB% over the last month that's not half bad. LeBlanc rarely goes more than five, but that's not necessarily a good thing for the opposing team. Aside from a reverse split that should help him against the Angels, the Seattle bullpen has a major league leading 2.18 FIP over the last month (19.8 K-BB%) that's more than a half run better than the next best team.
