Tony gonsolin had an incredible start but since the all star break he gave up 4 to the nationals at home in 5 innings. Then he went 5 in Colorado and gave up 3....not the greatest of starts for an all star type player with a sub 2 Era. He bounced back vs the Padres going 5 scoreless however I will say that Padres game he did good in was not a real indication of a great game because Padres got blasted giving up 4 in the 1st and another 4 in the 3rd. So basically he was pitching with a big lead and then had the game pretty much won at the end of the 3rd inning once it was 8-0.
For kc royals the starter is a pretty typical young prospect he's had good games and bad games. Vs the better hitting teams in this case toronto he's got hit hard in 2 recent starts vs them.
My feeling on this game is this....to the dodgers it's just another road game vs a bad team. Gonsolin has shown to be vulnerable to even the worst team (nats) in the league since all star break. For lynch (kc) it's probably the biggest game of his young career. At home the team coming off a win....now its a series opener again the DODGERS who are the best team in baseball. There's no doubt he's pumped for this game. I think he might do ok actually with the potential for a great game. And getting over 2-1 we don't need to be right too often.
Anyone see value here or kinda understand my reasoning?
