Jesse Scholtens Looking To Bounce Back Thursday Versus Athletics
1 year agoChicago White Sox pitcher Jesse Scholtens is looking to bounce back Thursday when he takes on the Oakland A's at home. The right-hander endured a tough outing his last time out versus the Rockies as he allowed five earned runs while walking five batters in just three innings of work at Coors Field. Despite the tough outing, Scholtens owns a solid 3.79 ERA on the season, although his 4.99 SIERA and a weak 8% K-BB% suggest he should see further regression on the horizon. Scholtens has also posted a 4.44 ERA and 5.07 FIP across nine starts at the Triple-A level this season. His bounce-back opportunity couldn't be better on Thursday as he takes on an A's offense that sits dead last with a .291 wOBA versus right-handed pitching this season.
