Mitchell Parker (5-3, 3.06 ERA) vs. Cal Quantrill (6-5, 3.43 ERA)
Mitchell Parker has proven his worth as an effective starter for the Washington Nationals this season with a 5-3 record and 3.06 ERA. His control on the mound can be evidenced by an excellent 1.08 WHIP score and 50 strikeouts against just 15 walks; further evidenced by conceding only six homer runs over 67.2 innings pitched at Coors Field which has an elevation disadvantage and favors hitters; his focus on ground balls while restricting hard hits will prove crucial in dealing with Colorado Rockies lineup!
Cal Quantrill of the Colorado Rockies boasts a slightly higher earned run average (3.43), but his record remains 6-5 for this contest. Quantrill has been one of the bright spots on a difficult season for Colorado, striking out 59 batters across 84 innings with an acceptable WHIP of just 1.33. His approach entails using fastballs and changeups in combination to offset batters’ timing; however, his high walk rate of 33 suggests some difficulties with control. Quantrill will need to take extra caution with Nationals hitters in his next start at home park; their ability to exploit any errors could prove decisive if Rockies manage an upset over Nationals in this contest. His performance may determine their victory or defeat depending on his ability to handle pressure during critical innings.
