Boston Red Sox vs. Toronto Blue Jays
Sunday, October 2, 2022 at 1:37 p.m. ET at Rogers Centre in Toronto

Who Starts for Boston?


Michael Wacha starts for the Red Sox today.

As the season draws to a close, Wacha's form is deteriorating.

After yielding a 6.12 FIP against the Yankees on September 22, he allowed six earned runs in 3.1 innings in Baltimore in his most recent start.

Wacha vs. Blue Jay Batters

Primarily, Wacha throws a fastball, changeup, cutter, and sinker.

These four pitches combine to make up almost 93 percent of his arsenal.

Toronto batters look reliable today because they rank third in slugging .463 against Wacha's favorite pitches from righties.

Plus, Blue Jay batters are hot in general.

They've scored a combined total of 19 runs in their first two games in this series against Boston.

Evidently, they are determined to play their best baseball at just the right time of year.

Who Starts for Toronto?

Kevin Gausman starts for the Blue Jays.

Unlike Wacha, Gausman is pitching excellently.

Before yielding two runs in 6.1 innings against the Yankees in his last start, he shut out Philadelphia over the course of six innings.

Gausman vs. Red Sox Batters

Importantly, Gausman thrives against the Red Sox when they face him in Toronto.

In two starts against them in Toronto, Gausman has allowed zero earned runs in 13 innings.

Kansas City Royals vs. Cleveland Guardians
Sunday, October 2, 2022 at 1:40 p.m. ET at Progressive Field in Cleveland

Who Starts for Kansas City?


Max Castillo, an unprepared rookie, starts for the Royals who have nothing to lose in having such a pitcher start.

Castillo's lack of readiness for professional baseball is evident in the high rates at which he allows walks and home runs.

These negative tendencies translate to awful results.

Most recently, he has allowed a combined total of nine earned runs in his past four innings pitched.

Castillo and Company vs. Guardian Batters

Castillo matches up poorly against Guardian batters in view of his pitching repertoire.

He favors a fastball, changeup, and slider.

Together, these three pitches make up just over 96 percent of his arsenal.

Cleveland ranks 10thin slugging against these pitches from righties.

When Castillo departs -- he'll probably only last a few innings -- Kansas City's bullpen will have a ton of work to do.

Problematically, the Royal bullpen owns the third-worst ERA among bullpens.

Who Starts for Cleveland?

The ever-reliable Shane Bieber starts for the Guardians today.

Bieber has allowed two runs or fewer in four of his last five starts.

He particularly enjoys facing the Royals because he is 1-0 with a 0.71 ERA in two starts against them this year.

Chicago White Sox vs. San Diego Padres
Sunday, October 2, 2022 at 4:10 p.m. ET at Petco Park in San Diego

Who Starts for the White Sox?


Lance Lynn starts for Chicago today.

Lynn finally gets a favorable matchup.

In his last two starts, he faced division rivals, one of which was a sizzling Guardian lineup and the other was a Twin team that hits his pitches well.

Lynn vs. Padre Batters

Padre batters are neither sizzling nor do they hit Lynn's pitches well.

Lynn mostly throws his fastball and cutter.

San Diego, however, ranks 26thin slugging against Lynn's two favorite pitches from righties.

Typically mustering no more than a couple of runs in their most recent home games, the Padres are primed for another low-scoring output.

Who Starts for San Diego?

Blake Snell starts for the Padres today.

Snell is enjoying a string of good starts, but they came against a ridiculously cold Cardinal lineup and against teams that match up well against him.

Chicago, however, ranks 10thin slugging against his pitches from lefties and is not suffering any kind of a scoreless streak like the Cardinals did when they saw Snell.
