I just have to say, to start off this article, I’m really annoyed about the Ben Brown injury. I am overweight on him at the NFC. He has been an incredible asset this year. A team that’s got real contention has got Murakami and Brown. I’ve just been riddled with injuries on there recently so just had to get that out of the way. Now on to The Daily Slip.
George Kirby at only 6.5 strikeouts today vs. the Angels is crazy to me. I understand he’s not a strikeout artist but earlier this month he just put up 10 on Baltimore. Now he gets the team as the number one K rate in the league, the number one K rate the last 15 days, and they are number one or number two in K rate vs. right-handed pitching. Reminder on Kirby. He has a 31% ball percentage. He doesn’t really walk anybody. He’s averaging a 25% K rate this season and we have him for a 6.98 projection today. Sign me up.
As you can see, he started to use the slider more and he’s getting a good swing-and-miss rate. I think that pitch is going to serve him well tonight versus the Angels.
