It’s another Jack Perkins night, and this one will tell us a lot, I think. Perkins has a 3.93 JA ERA in the Majors this year. Taht’s not very good. But his 22.4% K% is way lower than the 15.6% SwStr% would suggest. I think the K% is going to come up. His command hasn’t been great (37.7% Ball%, 10.5% BB%), but it’s nothing completely out of hand.
I was really encouraged by his last start when he got 14 whiffs on 84 pitches with a very nice 33.3% Ball% and a .223 xwOBA allowed. I like his pitch mix with a 96mph four-seamer, a sweeper, and a cutter and changeup in there as well. I can’t guarantee a good result, but he’s someone we should be pretty interested in. I think there’s a good ceiling there.
Noah Cameron is a safer bet if you’re just looking for some ratio help. It’s a fine matchup there with the White Sox, and Cameron has been pretty good of late with a 3.35 JA ERA in his last five.
