This week is no different.
This season Hernandez is 8-9 with a 5.49 ERA in 22 starts.
In his last start against the Blue Jays, he went five innings giving up five hits and two earned runs. Not bad, but over his last seven starts, he is 2-3 with an ERA of 5.22.
Now, let’s compare his last seven starts to the rest of the rotation:
Wade LeBlanc: 3-2, 5.09 ERA
Mike Leake: 0-3, 4.28 ERA
James Paxton: 3-4, 3.46 ERA
Marco Gonzales: 5-2, 2.85 ERA
You may look at this and say Mike Leake is 0-4, and Paxton is 3-4, but what is the difference between the two?
