Last night's performance by Rick Porcello was just stupid - 8.0 IP, 1 ER, 5 Hits, 1 BBs, 13 Ks. I can't be trifled with such ridiculousness so today I'm just going to throw some numbers at you. 5. 97. 3252. √2. Before last night, Porcello's season high for strikeouts was seven which he achieved once. His FIP including last night is 4.37 this season. He has more games of 7 ER or more than 7 Ks or more. But Nick! What about across his last six starts? You're going to make me do this even though it includes a major one month gap? Fine. He looks great using this small sample - which is obviously inflated massively by last night's game - but even in his best light this holds a 3.59 FIP and came with two starts against the ChiSox and one against Miami. Just don't go near him. Seriously guys, don't make this a thing.
Let’s see what every other SP did yesterday:
