Cubs will put Garza out there who has been the unluckiest pitcher in the game with a .388 BABIP he's only left 59.4% of runners on base considering his 11.69 K/9 ratio and 1.37 WHIP we feel he is more capable and up until his last start he was showing it. HIs last start he gave up 5 ER, but before that he had a string of 3 starts with a 1.80 ERA over 20 IP giving up just 15 hits and 26 K's. He's got 58 K's in 44.2 IP on the year and the Cardinals have limited experience with just 38 AB's a .211 average and .548 OPS. Cardinals start Westbrook who also has been unlucky with a .331 BABIP, but he has just a 5.68 K/9 ratio and it's closer to his career averages than Garza's. IN two starts vs. the Cubs he pitched 11.1 IP and gave up 5 ER.
Nationals - JOhn Lannan has pitched well vs. the Braves and in his last 3 he has a 3-0 record and 2.76 ERA. Hanson has struggled vs. the Nationals so I think we get excellent value here. Lannan has been a bit unlucky with a .322 BABIP and he faces a Braves team that is 29th in average vs. LHP and 27th in OPS vs. LHP with a .216 average and .624 OPS.
