NL’s Top Pitchers Unleash Mysterious Arsenal That Could Redefine the Season
Milwaukee doesn’t have nearly the same payroll, success, or the luster of a franchise, but what they do have is sustained success. I brought this up multiple times last year, but the Brewers lost Josh Hader, one of the best closing pitchers in baseball. They lost their manager, considered one of the best in baseball. They lost a Cy Young-winning pitcher on their staff, and they still found a way to win baseball games. This season didn’t start too hot, but they went 16-9 in June. The team is now 10 games above .500 for the season, and looks like they once again can find their way into the playoffs. Today they send out their own Ace to the hill as Freddy Peralta takes the mound. Peralta is 9-4 for the season with a 2.91 ERA and has a 1.09 WHIP. Peralta has been phenomenal this year, especially at home. He has a 1.76 ERA over eight starts and held opponents to a .202 batting average. Peralta has completed at least five innings in all of his home starts this season. The Dodgers have been pretty good overall with 22 hits in 96 at-bats over their careers against Peralta.
