MacKenzie Gore (6-7, 3.83 ERA) vs. David Peterson (3-0, 3.58 ERA)
MacKenzie Gore, although with a rather worse win/loss ratio, has a decent ERA of 3.83 that he has accumulated in 94 innings this season. Records also show that Gore has 112 strike outs meaning he is capable of making batters strike out however his WHIP of 1.44. The situation will be key for Him against the Mets’ lineup that possesses Homer’s ability but has volatile run-scoring capabilities.
On the other side of the fence, David Peterson has yet to lose a game in his appearances this season putting up with a 3.58 ERA in 37.2 innings. Though he has struggled through fewer innings than Gore, his efficient work against hits, asserting the control which can be seen from his 1.46 WHIP demonstrates that he has the potential to succeed in fixed situations, which he will inevitably face against the rather aggressive Nationals’ batting order.
If Gore and Peterson are pitted together on the baseball field, then that could turn into a duel that sees few runs scored or may explode into a high scoring free-for-all if either pitcher is shaken up. Both have displayed weakness on the WHIP front but they have also demonstrated the ability to limit and fanned seasoned batters. Both bowlers and batsman will look to play major roles in this contest given that this will be a keenly fought game.
