You know what is one of the more impressive stats from Sonny Gray this season? He's averaging over seven innings per start, which hold 2.06 ERA over 161.2 innings of work. That total was boosted by a 9.0 IP, 1 ER, 5 Hits, 0 BBs, 5 Ks performance in yesterday's game that makes owners pretty giddy, even though he managed to get 22 of 27 outs via the batted ball. Great to see a zero walk effort after allowing four free passes last time out, and it's his third start in a row allowing 1 or fewer ER while dancing across 25 innings. But here's where we get a little dark Dims lights. Dude, I meant in tone, jeez now I can't see the keyboard when I typrloksdj. Brightens lights. Thanks bud. Anyway, while Gray does have a history of surpressing HRs, I'm still cautious that his xFIP is nearly 1.5 points separated from his ERA at 3.42. Let's just imagine that he doesn't regress all the way, and holds a 3.00 ERA here on out. When that's mixed with a 7.57 K/9, it's hard to be super enthused and call him a Top 10, maybe even Top 15 guy. Trade deadlines are coming up if they haven't passed yet, and I'd be looking to flip Gray for someone who believes his low ERA ways are here to stay.
Let’s see what every other SP did yesterday:
