RHP
6-14, 4.99 ERA, 148 SO
Bundy gets the benefit of an extra day of rest, which has been a common thing in 2019. Eighteen of Bundy's 27 starts have come on extra rest, the righty slicing his ERA more than a full run in those outings. Bundy is 6-13 with a 5.06 ERA overall.

At T-Mobile Park
(60-87)
RHP
2-11, 5.11 ERA, 120 SO
Mahle is seeking a spot in the 2020 starting rotation. In his last start, he made a critical mistake by not locating an 0-2 cutter that was supposed to be more up and in for Ketel Marte. The pitch caught too much of the plate and Marte launched it for a three-run homer that led to Mahle's defeat.
RHP
0-0, 27.00 ERA, 0 SO
