Wood has been on fire lately and has arguably outpitched the great Clayton Kershaw thus far this season. Wood is 6-0 in 10 games (8 starts) with a sparkling 1.69 ERA after another great outing during Friday night’s Dodgers win against the Cubs in which he went five innings strong, allowing just two hits and striking out eight. That ERA would lead the majors but heading into Sunday’s game; he is two innings shy of qualification.
These are eye-popping numbers, but if you look back at Wood’s career, he has always had the potential to be this good.
