Remember when Paul Skenes got knocked out in the first inning of his Opening Day start against the Mets? Nightmare outings like that tend to haunt an ace for the rest of the season. But Skenes, as we’ve come to recognize, is no ordinary ace.
The reigning National League Cy Young winner, 23, has squeezed his ERA to an impressive 1.98, which ranks eighth in MLB. He also paces the majors in xERA (1.85), WHIP (0.64), and pitching run value (17). Skenes is coming off back-to-back, eight-inning shutouts — with a combined 17 strikeouts and zero walks — against the Diamondbacks and Rockies, respectively.
While the Phillies have turned things around under interim manager Don Mattingly, they’re still scrambling to concoct an answer for the right-handed fireballer. Skenes has surrendered only one earned run across two career starts (15.2 IP) against Philadelphia. The club’s superstar triumvirate of Kyle Schwarber ($6,200), Bryce Harper ($5,500), and Trea Turner ($4,600) is a combined 1-for-15 with six strikeouts against him.
Aaron Judge’s strongest competition for the American League MVP may be sitting in his own clubhouse. Ben Rice holds the MLB lead for OPS (1.079) and wRC+ (200), and the underlying metrics — a recurring theme throughout his young career — underscore that he isn’t letting go anytime soon. His 14 home runs are just two shy of the Yankee captain’s league-best total.
Rice’s latest blast came in the top of the ninth inning in Friday’s Subway Series opener against the Mets, punctuating a 3-for-5 night and a 5–2 win.
The breakout first baseman should stay hot in the series finale, facing Mets right-hander Freddy Peralta ($8,900). The former Brewers ace has struggled to mitigate hard contact this season — especially at home. Peralta, 29, has posted a 3.51 ERA with a 1.32 WHIP over his first six starts (33.1 IP) in Flushing.
If I had a nickel for every time that a struggling Dodgers outfielder revived his career with the Cubs over the last few years, I’d have two nickels! Following a path similar to Cody Bellinger’s, Michael Conforto has seemingly rediscovered his All-Star form at Wrigley Field while swinging one of the hottest bats in baseball.
The 33-year-old veteran has kicked it into overdrive since the calendar flipped to May, hitting .381 with a 1.337 OPS, two home runs, four doubles, and three RBIs over nine games. Used almost exclusively against right-handed pitching, Conforto enters Sunday afternoon with a golden opportunity to do some damage at the plate against White Sox righty Erick Fedde ($6,200).
Fedde’s sweeper-heavy approach has produced underwhelming results through his first eight appearances (six starts), posting a 3.77 ERA with a 4.15 xERA. He also ranks in the bottom 10% of MLB pitchers in strikeout rate (9th percentile) and whiff rate (4th).
