This game features a very interesting pitching duel between Seattle's
veteran ace, Felix Hernandez (3.16 FIP after three starts), and Angels
prospect Nicholas Tropeano (2.49 FIP after two starts). Hernandez
appears to be on the decline at age 30 after 10 straight seasons of 30
starts or more. Tropeano, a 25-year-old northpaw from New York, has
quickly worked his way up to No. 2 in the injury-plagued LA rotation,
striking out batters with a decent mix of junk pitches and nondescript
fastballs.
Friday's game is also a battle between two front offices with two
different mindsets. Mariners GM Jerry DiPoto held the same post with the
Halos until he resigned last July when tensions mounted between himself
and manager Mike Scioscia, who didn't appreciate DiPoto's
analytics-based approach. The Angels now rank No. 28 in the majors in
team hitting at .590 OPS, five spots below Seattle (.651 OPS).
