Pick 7: Joe Musgrove Recorded Outs Over 17.5 (-180)

13-0. That's Joe Musgrove's record this season in getting through 6 full innings pitches. Out of Musgrove's last 10 games overall, five of them have been exactly 6-inning performances while the other five have been 7-inning or longer outings. His average over the season is 19.62 outs recorded. 

On the road, as SD makes the quick trip to LA for tonight's matchup, Musgrove's average outing jumps up to 20.14 outs recorded per game with four of his seven road starts lasting 7 or more full innings. Musgrove is NOT on the top 5 strikeouts list, is NOT on the top 5 best ERAs, and is NOT on the top 5 in pitcher wins. Musgrove IS however tied for third in the league for Most Quality Starts at 12 (from 13 games played). He sits behind Framber Valdez and Alek Manoah who each have 13. 

The consistency shown by Musgrove, outside of his last performance when he gave up 6 runs off 7 hits against the Phillies, has been among the absolute best of anyone taking the mound this season. While the Dodgers got their bats going against the Rockies last night, the only LAD win in that series in Denver, LAD now has to fly back to LA and get ready to face one of the best pitchers in baseball at the moment and I have all the faith in Musgrove to extend his perfect 13-game streak of 18+ Recorded Outs this season.
