Chris Sale (6-4 W-L, 4.42 ERA) vs. Dean Kremer (12-5 W-L, 4.25 ERA)
Chris Sale, once considered one of baseball’s premier left-handed pitchers, has experienced a mixed campaign for the Red Sox this year. Though his record may appear solid at first glance, his 4.42 ERA raises red flags given what Sale has achieved in previous seasons. Sale’s strength lies in his ability to strike out opponents quickly, as evidenced by his 123 strikeouts in 97.2 innings. His slider remains one of the best in baseball; however, occasional lapses in control – 28 walks and 14 homer runs allowed – could prove his undoing as Boston tries to beat Baltimore and their powerful lineup known for power hitting. How Sale navigates Orioles batters will determine their success or otherwise against Boston.
Dean Kremer has been an outstanding pitcher for the Orioles this season, recording 12 wins with an ERA of 4.25 while striking out 149 batters over 167.1 innings pitched – proof enough of his strength under pressure and perseverance. And unlike Sale, Kremer has pitched more innings under his belt – evidence of their management trusting him more. A potential area of concern could be his 54 walks and 27 homers allowed, which hint at potential points of vulnerability. Kremer will need to remain wary when going up against Boston, who are known for their tactical approach at bat, so as not to give away easy runs. This pitching duel promises to be one of the highlights of the game; both pitchers possess different strengths as well as vulnerabilities which they should look out for during battle.
