The Washington Nationals rotation has been a weakness for much of the season. Erick Fedde had previously been part of that problem, but after a positive outing last time out, he could impress in September.
He still has just a 1-3 record, with a 6.00 ERA in 33 innings so far in 2018. His FIP is currently 4.94, which isn’t spectacular by any means, but it shows he’s pitching better than those awful high-level figures.
But the main reason both his FIP and ERA is his sky-high 1.6 HR/9 in the big leagues.
