Dylan Bundy

(8-5)

3.82 (1.37/.259)

92K / 35BB, 15HR

QS: 3

</b>

Bundy has not fared well generally against Boston this season. His numbers at Fenway are good, but keep in mind that those numbers were put up when Bundy was excelling in the bullpen. He allowed five runs on nine hits (2HR) in 4.1 innings against Boston last month. He has allowed five earned runs in three of the last five starts including the last one, but has not thrown two consecutive bad starts yet. If the pattern continues, he will pitch well here.

Drew Pomeranz

(10-11)

3.01 (1.15/.210)

174K / 61BB, 18HR

QS: 14

Pomeranz struggled upon his arrival to Boston having allowed five runs in two of the first three starts he made for the Red Sox. Since then, he put up a 2.70 ERA in August and allowed two runs in 5.2 innings against the Padres in his last start. He has pitched well against Detroit (x2), NYY, Seattle and Cleveland, so he is pitching well against the strong and weak teams. He has given up a home run in all but one start since coming to Boston, but only one in all but one of them which was when he allowed two in his Boston debut. He has really pitched well for Boston and those numbers at Fenway are a bit high due to allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks in only three innings in his debut against the Giants. Take that one out and Pomeranz has a 3.00 (1.11) at Fenway, so he is likely to be good. He has only thrown 4.2 innings against the Orioles in his career and struck out 10 of the 14 batters he retired.

This one was over in the first inning after Miley gave up five runs on mostly very hard hit balls that proved difficult to field for Orioles defenders, but only one error charged. The bullpen then gave up seven more runs and the Orioles lose 12-2 and have lost three of five now. Toronto wins and pushes the Orioles back to third place and Boston returns to three games up in the division. The Orioles really had no energy from the get go in this one which is the worst thing about this game. Where's the energy? Boston had it all and wanted it more, so now the Orioles have to come back tomorrow and maybe look like they actually want to get to the post season. Pomeranz is no picnic and neither is Porcello in game three. It's going to be tough to get even one of these games, but certainly not impossible.

Tough call. I like Pomeranz slightly more here because he has been consistently good in Boston since his first few starts and has been pretty much the guy Boston had in mind when they traded for him. Bundy has been up and down with his stuff, velocity and command and pitched poorly in his only start against Boston this season.

I am assuming wins from the Tigers and a loss by the Yankees. KC is down big to Oakland and Houston trails 3-1 against Texas in the sixth. As usual, I will adjust the standings when all the games are done.

Since being traded to Seattle for Wade Miley, Ariel Miranda has a 4.10 (1.18) line and has not allowed more than four runs a single time in seven starts. He has not allowed an earned run in 12 innings over the last two starts now and has pitched six innings in three straight. That trade sure was worth it, huh?

Wild Card Standings

*Boston +3.0

*Toronto +1.0

*Baltimore --

Detroit -1.0

NY Yankees -2.0

Seattle -2.5

Houston -3.5

KC Royals -4.0
