Matt Harvey averages fewer innings per start than any pitcher on the board tonight at just over five per start. That he's facing the team with the highest implied run line on the board by more than half a run is not going to help. The bullpen has a 4.3 FIP and 7.2 K-BB% over the last 30 days that's nothing to fear either. In fact, only two bullpens in the majors are below that latter number. Brent Suter is second lowest at just under 5.1 innings per start, but that's mostly by design. The Cardinals will then have to face what looks like a middling pen with a 3.8 FIP and 16.5 K-BB% over the last 30 days, but one with a strong back end. Josh Hader (25.5 K-BB%) has faced just four batters over the last week. A bullpen players will want to get to is in Pittsburgh (4.76 FIP and 12.7 K-BB% last 30 days) and players may get their wish with Chad Kuhl, who struggles with LHBs and is on the bottom half of the board with 5.2 innings per start. Also on the lower half with just under 5.2 innings per start is Aaron Sanchez. The Toronto bullpen has a 4.4 FIP and 12.6 K-BB% over the last month. Kevin Guasman could struggle in Washington and the Baltimore bullpen has struggled behind him (4.49 FIP, 7.1 K-BB% last 30 days). Gausman has averaged nearly six innings per start, but has failed to reach the sixth inning in two of his last six starts. Bullpens players may not want a piece of are San Francisco (2.75 FIP) and Chicago (3.09 FIP), the third and fourth best FIPs in baseball over the last 30 days, both with a K-BB between 14-15% over that span that's much closer to average. The Giants just lost Hunter Strickland, but he's been one of their worst pitchers over the last month anyway (-1.8 K-BB%). The Cubs just lost Brandon Morrow to the DL, but four pitchers in the pen exceed his 19.4 K-BB% over the last 30 days.
