Guardians vs. Angels Game Info
Cal Quantrill (2-6, 6.16 ERA) vs. Griffin Canning (7-5, 4.30 ERA)
Cal Quantrill‘s season hasn’t gone exactly to plan, as evidenced by his 2-6 win-loss record and elevated 6.16 ERA are indicative of. Over 73 innings pitched he has allowed 85 hits including 8 homers he allowed himself! In terms of strikeout-to-walk ratio it doesn’t stack up either, with only 40 strikes against 25 walks; which shows lack of control and difficulty getting out of tough situations quickly enough, which should warn any bettors considering backing the Guardians solely based on pitching.
Griffin Canning has managed to show greater stability than his counterpart. Boasting a 7-5 win-loss record and an ERA of only 4.3, Canning offers hope to the Angels as they struggle in 2019. In 104.2 innings pitched so far he has given up only 97 hits while posting an outstanding strikeout-to-walk ratio with 117 strikeouts against only 28 walks; though Canning has allowed 19 homers (none too notable), overall his performance under pressure is better and provides greater chances for quality starts from him than from his counterpart.
