Zach Plesac makes his MLB debut for the Indians tonight at Fenway Park against the Red Sox and David Price. Plesac is the nephew of former MLB pitcher Dan Plesac. In 57 1/3 innings between AA and AAA this season, Plesac walked just seven batters. In his minor league career he walked 58 batters in 253 innings while allowing 13 home runs. Price makes just his third start at Fenway this season, where he allowed two runs in 13 innings.

Washington tries to climb back to respectability as they send Stephen Strasburg against the Braves and Max Fried. Strasburgh strikes out an impressive 10.88 batters per nine innings this season, and he’s not even in the top ten among ERA qualifiers. Fried allowed seven home runs in 56 1/3 innings this season, but six were solo shots. With runners on base, he allows a low .338 slugging percentage, helping him to a 2.88 ERA.

The undefeated Zach Davies leads the Brewers against the hot Minnesota Twins and the once defeated Martin Perez. Davies owns a 2.43 ERA. While his BA, OBP, and Slugging Pct. allowed are good, inducing ten ground ball double plays appears to be a big reason for his success. The change of scenery from Texas to Minneapolis helped Perez cut down on homers allowed, and dropped his ERA to 2.95. It’s 4.51 for his career.

Enjoy!
