The M’s put on a show in Anaheim, steamrolling the Los Angeles Angels with a solid 7-2 victory! That’s how you get it done away from T-Mobile Park, keeping that momentum rolling in late September. Our guys are clearly locked in and ready to finish this regular season strong.
Checking in on the AL Central Matchup
Elsewhere in the American League, the Detroit Tigers (72-79) and Chicago White Sox (77-75) are set to clash tonight at 7:40 p.m. ET at Rate Field. This one has a couple of interesting arms on the mound, so it’s worth a look if you’re keeping tabs on the league.
For the Tigers, it’s LHP Framber Valdez (10-10, 4.01 ERA) taking the hill. He’s thrown 163.2 innings across 29 games, striking out 17.0% of batters and walking 8.4%. His groundball rate is solid at 54.8%, and his FIP is 4.17 with a 1.8 fWAR. On the White Sox side, RHP Erick Fedde (8-9, 3.97 ERA) gets the nod. He’s got a slightly better ERA but in fewer innings, 133.2 over 31 games. His K% is 15.9% and BB% is 8.4%, pretty similar to Valdez, but his groundball rate is way lower at 38.3%. That FIP is up there too at 5.12, with a -0.2 fWAR. It’ll be interesting to see who can command the zone better tonight in that game.
So while the Tigers and White Sox battle it out, we’re still buzzing about our M’s handling business against the Angels. Keep that energy, Seattle! Go M’s!
