Nathan Eovaldi excels in Red Sox's intrasquad game
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi threw four scoreless innings Thursday in an intrasquad game.
What It Means:
Eovaldi allowed 1 hit and 1 walk with 4 strikeouts. He will become the favorite to be the Red Sox's Opening Day starter if Eduardo Rodriguez (COVID-19) is unavailable. The 30-year-old right-hander had the worst year of his career in 2019, with a 5.99 ERA and 1.58 WHIP over 67 2/3 innings (23 appearances, 12 starts). Prior to that, the worst ERA of Eovaldi's career was 4.76.
numberFire's models expect Eovaldi to record a 4.49 ERA and 1.46 WHIP with 47 strikeouts and 19 walks over 48 innings this season.
