Kenta Maeda (2-4, 6.00 ERA) vs. Chase Silseth (0-1, 6.75 ERA)
Kenta Maeda of the Tigers currently sports a 2-4 win-loss record with an ERA and WHIP of 6.00 over 54 innings pitched, striking out 41 batters while walking 18 and giving up 11 homers in that span. Maeda has experienced moments of brilliance this season despite his high ERA and susceptibility to giving up home runs; his strength lies in striking out batters but his high WHIP rate and home run rate pose risks; therefore controlling Maeda will be key to his future success if his pitches can limit walks and homers given.
Chase Silseth, Angels starting pitcher, currently stands with an 0-1 record with a 6.75 ERA and 1.5 WHIP over 8 innings pitched. Silseth allowed 8 hits over that span while striking out 12, walking 4, and giving up three home runs; his impressive strikeout rate also suggests potential, yet his high ERA/WHIP indicate struggles in control and effectiveness; Silseth is known for his strikeout ability but should focus more on controlling home runs to become more effective as his strength lies therein.
