Pitchers Report for Friday September 18th

A look at the hot and cold pitchers going today. The information you need to know whether it is for fantasy baseball or wagering contests. We did rebound from the two POD’s we should have won to move to 24-7 in our last 31 and 102-47 on the year. The Goal I am shooting for is 125 wins for my POD’s. If you have followed my sports betting advice, in baseball it has been well worth the investment.!

Friday’s starters includes the most ever I believe with 9 total with ERA’s under 3.00 in their last 5 starts. We have some solid pitchers on the other sid eof the spectrum, 7 to be exact that have ERA’s over 6.00 in their last 5. Read below to find out who has the best shot at making a comeback.

Make sure you read below so you know what to do here on Tuesday for your sports betting advice.

Probable Hot Starting Pitchers:

Ted Lilly (Cubs)

Lilly will make his 14th start on the road against the Cardinals on Friday night against John Smoltz. Smoltz has been his old self since joining the Cardinals and could play a huge role out of the bullpen in the playoffs. Lilly has struggled on the road this season posting a 4.62 ERA nearly 3.02 runs higher than what his home ERA is. However, he has just been on fire as of late in his last 5 starts he posts a 1.62 ERA with 0.84 WHIP. He just simply does not walk anyone. Against the Cardinals this week he has a 2.40 ERA in two starts one on the road and one at home.

Bet at 5Dimes

I think these numbers are a bit skewed. Although the Cardinals do not hit lefties like they do RHP -.58 runs per 9 and -.50pts in average at home compared to RHP they have been a different team in the 2nd half since the trades. For instance they are 7-2 in their last 9 vs. LH starters and they are 12-5 in their last 17 overall. I really would not back Lilly on the road especially since you never know who is going to be sitting out of that Cubs line up and the name of the game is run support.

Notables – Last 5 Starts!

Homer Bailey (3-1, 1.45 WHIP, 2.23 ERA)
JA Happ (2-2, 1.38 WHIP, 2.86 ERA)
Johnathan Sanchez (1-2, 1.20 WHIP, 2.86 ERA)
Vincente Padilla (3-0, 1.16 WHIP, 2.01 ERA)
Jeremy Guthrie (3-2, 1.26 WHIP, 2.48 ERA)
Scott Kazmire (1-1, 0.95 WHIP, 2.20 ERA)
Felix Hernandez (3-1, 0.97 WHIP, 1.80 ERA)
Brian Duensing (3-0, 1.19 WHIP, 1.74 ERA)

Most likely to sustain and win:

Vincente Padilla

Probable Cold Starting Pitchers:

Scott Richmond (Blue Jays)

It has been a rough road for Richmond as he has an 8.89 ERA with a 1.83 WHIP in his last 5 starts. The problem has been the long ball as he has 7 HR in just 27.1 IP over this period. Richmond had a pre-all star game ERA of 3.69, but int he second half he has a 8.17 ERA.

Richmond plays in the best division in baseball, but still much more was expected from him. He’ll face off against the Rays who he has only faced once and went 7 innings giving up 3 ER.

Notables – Last 5 Starts!

Charlie Morton (1-3, 2.01 WHIP, 8.51 ERA)
Rick VandenHurk (1-2, 1.61 WHIP, 6.08 ERA)
Mike Pelfrey (2-2, 1.75 WHIP, 6.67 ERA)
Bud Norris (2-3, 1.73 WHIP, 7.61 ERA)
Luke Hochevar (0-4, 1.68 WHIP, 7.90 ERA)
A.J. Burnett (1-3, 1.53 WHIP, 7.67 ERA)

Most likely to rebound: Charlie Morton + Mike Pelfrey
