10:10 PM EST. Do we like Andrew Heaney (LHP)? Not really but put him up against Wade LeBlanc (LHP) in an evenly priced game and we’ll gladly take our chances. Heaney has a strong BB/K split of 19/58 over 61 innings and anytime a pitcher walks few and strikes out many, he has a decent chance to win. Heaney looks stronger this year after recovering from TJS last year that kept him out until July. A shoulder impingement ended his season in early September but in between, he made five MLB starts with 11.2 K’s/9. Heaney is trending in the right direction with a 3.56 xERA over his last five starts and we give him a much higher win possibility than his mound opponent.

Wade LeBlanc (LHP, SEA) posted a 4.26 xERA over six starts in the month of May, but has tallied a pair of disasters over his last two games overall (one in June). Our rating system has given him negative marks in every category besides WHIP and the LAA offense remains a top-five unit when playing on the road (.789 OPS). When factoring in LeBlanc’s tendency to give up home runs (1.1 hr/9, 3 jacks allowed in last four games), it’s best to steer clear of him when the price is not favorable. LeBlanc is a starter turned reliever turned starter who has been waived three times in his career with no one volunteering to pay money to an average southpaw who can't get out southpaws. Leblanc throws 86 to 87 MPH and relies on sleight of hand to get through games. Some blowups are forthcoming, that you can be sure of and hopefully the first of those is right here.
