George Kirby (7-6, 3.39 ERA) vs. Jose Soriano (4-7, 3.87 ERA)
George Kirby of the Mariners has had an exceptional year with a 3.39 ERA and 1.00 WHIP across 111.2 innings pitched, showing precision while managing walks (only 11 this season!) effectively to limit potential liabilities on the mound and keeping home run counts ( only 11 allowed! ) under control over an impressively long innings total; an especially useful skill against Angel hitters!
Jose Soriano of the Angels holds an equal 4-7 record and 3.87 ERA to Kirby, but Soriano stands out with his 1.18 WHIP and 67 strikeouts across 81.1 innings pitched; these numbers demonstrate his effectiveness despite Kirby’s higher ERA; in spite of this fact he managed only 30 walks throughout this challenge which could potentially give Mariners’ batters something extra to exploit against Soriano; therefore Soriano needs to use home game advantage while managing pitches carefully in order to match Kirby in terms of performance.
