Episode Details

Chicago White Sox vs. St. Louis Cardinals by Tony T.

Kay has the lower ERA, WHIP, walk rate and home-run rate, while also generating more ground balls. Liberatore owns the better strikeout percentage, but his 1.47 WHIP and 1.6 HR/9 have pushed the ERA to 5.57. His 4.52 FIP is 1.05 runs lower than the ERA, showing a better fielding-independent result without erasing the elevated traffic and airborne-contact concerns.
