Here's a guy with a tired arm. Edinson Volquez of San Diego dropped 2 mph on his sinker ball over last two starts and his strike % was way down to 47% his low number for the year. It is his primary pitch. He was down over 3 MPH on his fastball. The boxscore is not indicative of his command last start.
He hasn't had a good start in Colorado his last 3 years, either he walks half a dozen or just gets hammered. Not sure what the best approach to making money here will be until the TT's and half game lines are out. Not even sure there will be value when they do but have a look.
Charts for Volquez last three for those who are interested.
