Monday features a limited schedule. The potential slugfest of the day takes place in Chicago where David Festa of the Twins faces Kyle Hendricks of the Cubs. Festa allowed six home runs in his first 19 MLB innings, leading to a 6.98 ERA. Hendricks allowed 17 home runs in 85 1/3 innings, 1.79 HR per 9 IP. That’s the highest single season rate of his career.

The best pitching matchup of Monday takes place in Los Angeles where the Phillies send Aaron Nola against Tyler Glasnow of the Dodgers. Nola comes into the game with a 3.43 ERA. He does a good job of limiting hits (.225 BA allowed) and walks (2.24 per 9 IP) for an opposition OBP of .275. Glasnow takes that up a notch with a .188 BA allowed and a .246 OBP.

The White Sox visit the Athletics, Chicago trying to prevent their 21st consecutive loss, which would tie the AL record.

Enjoy!
