8/18 Plus Plays


*White Sox / Cleveland Under 8 ( Masterson / Humber )


I have sided with Masterson on numerous occasions with success, as you have seen on this thread. He is very solid in all situations. Generally, Masterson will scare the hell out of you by giving up a first inning run after which he settles to zeros, frame after frame. Let’s hope that’s the case here! Most of you are very familiar with Justin and Humber so I won’t belabor you with too many stats. In Masterson's 3 starts vs. the Tribe, (3-0 Under/Overs) with a 1.21 ERA pitching 22 innings with 14 Ks. Humber has been somewhat erratic lately but he is still maintaining a low 1.144 WHIP. My only concern here in this situation is Humber, but this is a spot where he needs to turn it around and find the balance he had earlier.


*Nationals ML ( Zimmerman / Arroyo )

I have not been an Arroyo fan this season especially after watching him live at the Astros. Like I have said before, there is no doubt he use to be an excellent pitcher, but this season he has been mostly inconsistent putting his team in early deficits (ERs 3 to 4 on avg.) Last game was his best outing by far, but in my humble opinion, I do not expect a repeat against this scrappy Nationals team inside the beltway where they play their best ball. Another angle that should be noted is the poor offensive struggles of the Reds. I sided with them last night and it was frustrating watching the number of runners stranded in scoring position, which has been a constant theme for them over the past weeks.


Back Later still reviewing the Jays and Sox…
