Week 9 Pitcher Rankings
The Florida Marlins look like a team that will be in contention for a playoff birth and starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez is a part of the reason for their success. Sanchez hasn’t given up an earned run in three of his last four starts and has amassed 34 strikeouts in that time. This week Sanchez will be a two start pitcher as he will be challenged by facing a hot Diamondbacks’ lineup and will finish against the Brewers.
Look for the Marlins to continue their winning ways and that is great news for saves leader Leo Nunez as the breakout closer continues to make a push for 40 saves. While Florida lost ace Josh Johnson for at least a few weeks, they are also getting quality production from Ricky Nolasco as the veteran has only failed to work at least six innings one time this season. Of the ten games Nolasco has pitched, only twice has he given up over three earned runs in a game.
