The Rockies and Nationals offer another good pitching matchup as Tyler Chatwood takes on Stephen Strasburg. Chatwood keeps the ball in the park this season. He came into 2013 with 23 home runs allowed in 206 2/3 innings, but has not allowed one this season in 38 2/3 innings. Strasburg has been lights out at home this year, with four walks and 33 K in 33 innings, good for a 1.09 ERA.

Seattle tries to overcome Thursday’s devastating loss as they host Oakland. Bartolo Colon faces Hisashi Iwakuma. Colon is hot with seven straight quality starts, posting a 1.47 ERA in that time. He’s not striking out many batters, but opponents are still not hitting him well. He allowed a .243 BA, but only six of the 43 hits have gone for extra bases. The Mariners are 10-5 in Iwakuma’s games, one of the few Mariners putting the team over .500. His only weakness is gopher ball, but eight of the 10 home runs he allowed were solo shots due to a .238 opposition OBP.

Enjoy!
