Jake Faria is riding the high of a great outing last time out against the struggling Detroit Tigers (13-17). Faria went eight scoreless innings and allowed just three hits, one walk, and struck out six. Throughout the season, Faria has had mixed results, posting a 2-1 record with a 4.60 ERA and a 1.295 WHIP across six starts.
Listed at 6-4 and 235 pounds, Faria is a presence on the mound. However, his fastball does not match his formidable size. The big righty uses his fastball 56.8% of the time and has a below average velocity of 91.
