Episode Details

Tampa Bay Rays vs. Atlanta Braves by Tony T.

Martinez has controlled traffic with a 1.10 WHIP and an exceptionally low 3.7% walk rate. His 14.8% strikeout rate leaves him reliant on contact management, but the command has supported a 3.04 ERA through 27 starts. Pérez creates more ground balls and has allowed fewer home runs per nine, although his 10.4% walk rate is a concern. His 4.31 FIP sits 1.06 runs above his 3.25 ERA, the qualifying variance in this matchup.
