Hyun-Jin Ryu leads the National League in ERA (2.45) and is having a fantastic season for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Cy Young candidate has struggled badly over his last four starts, though:
9/4 vs. COL: 4.1 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, 4 BB, 5 K
8/29 @ ARI: 4.2 IP, 10 H, 7 ER, 1 BB, 4 K
8/23 vs. NYY: 4.1 IP, 9 H, 7 ER, 1 BB, 4 K
8/17 @ ATL: 5.2 IP, 6 H, 4 ER, 1 BB, 5 K
Ryu and the Dodgers opened as +125 underdogs on the road against the New York Mets tonight. To make matters confusing, he dominated the Mets in his only meeting against them back on May 30th (7.2 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 7 K).
