Game 149 Preview: Gausman vs Wheeler
After a crazy win last night, the Blue Jays will look to sweep the short two game series over the
Gausman’s overall season numbers are still great at least. Through 28 starts and 159.1 innings, he is 12-10 with a 3.45 ERA. His FIP comes in a full run lower at 2.41, although that has certainly climbed over the last month. He no longer leads the Majors in FIP, nor does he lead it in fWAR. But he does still lead the American League in both of those stats, although Shohei Ohtani is closing in quickly.
Following Wheeler is expected to be Noah Syndergaard, who will likely be relied on for as many innings as possible tonight. Syndergaard came over to the Phillies at the trade deadline, and has had his difficulties. After striking out a career low 7.20 per 9 innings in Los Angeles to open the year, that rate has plummeted even further now in Philly, down to 4.98 per 9 innings. For a guy who was averaging about 10 per 9 innings before his surgery, this is definitely concerning.
Kyle Schwarber launched his 40th home run of the season last night. He is now 5 up on Paul Goldschmidt, likely the biggest obstacle for Goldy in getting his Triple Crown.
