While they may not be lights out, they can hover right around the quality start benchmark of 3 ER / 6 IP, even against good teams. And right our offense is on fire, so we don't need 1 ER / 7 IP aces. My concern is who closes in a tight game.
Look I like in Philly and Pivetta did nothing here which is why the Phillies gave up on him. I say the Stros scorch him for 7 runs tonight and he's chased after the 3rd
Don't get me wrong E-rod and Evoldi are ok, but they are all a number 4 or 5 starter on most clubs. They are doing fine now but sooner or later they will implode. None of those starters are top of line guys. Period. But none of that matters right now. The Astros bats gave up. I don't know. It's almost like they are throwing this series. Maybe Altuve and Correa bet on the Sox
