The White Sox try to start September with a win as the Mets send Sean Manaea against Garrett Crochet. Manaea turned out to be an important pickup for the Mets as he posted a 10-5 record with a good 3.51 ERA. He is two wins away from matching his single season high. The White Sox appear to have put Crochet under an inning limit since the start of July. They even gave him full rest after just a few pitches in a suspended game. Maybe they will let him go deeper today if the team has a chance at a win. A loss today would give the White Sox their third losing streak of at least ten games this season.

The Mariners send Bryce Miller against the Angles with Caden Dana making his MLB debut. Miller dropped his ERA over a run compared to his rookie season of 2023. He improved his strikeout rate, which helped him lower his hits per 9 IP. Dana posted an excellent year at AA with a 2.52 ERA in 135 2/3 innings. All his three true outcomes were good to excellent.

Sunday night features the Braves at the Phillies with Spencer Schwellenbach taking on Aaron Nola. Schwellenbach put together a nice rookie season, his one weakness the home run ball. Nola make his 37th start against the Braves. He stands 16-11with a 3.60 ERA. His low walk total against the team makes up for the home runs he allowed.

Enjoy!
