Estimated Wins updated through last night

By Sandy Kazmir


It sure is nice to watch a great start.  Niemann was brilliant last night and is really showcasing himself as the sponge that can go out and soak up some innings.  I wanted to present the update Est. Wins for another reason, though.  James Shields is a FREAKING STUD.  He has thrown a sub-3.00 FIP in NINE of his eighteen starts.  According to these numbers, that means in half of his stats he has given us, AT THE MINIMUM, an 83% chance to walk out with a win.  SCORE THIS MAN SOME GD RUNS!  Garza has also pitched really well, being roughly a win behind Shields.

Garza    4.42 60.5%           17            10.29
