4 years agoCleveland Indians starting pitcher Zach Plesac is off to a terrific start to his 2020 campaign, but he'll face a tough task Saturday versus the White Sox. The Pale Hose lead the majors in batting average versus righties (.268) and have posted a stellar .750 OPS and 116 wRC+ against these hurlers so far as well. Plesac has looked sharp, racking up 17 punchouts in 15 IP while surrendering just two earned runs and one walk on the young season. However, the 25-year old didn't fare too well against the White Sox in 2019, going 0-2 while allowing seven earned runs in 12 IP. The club he'll face Saturday is much more formidable than the 2019 squad, and have generated serious momentum with Luis Robert hitting at the top of the lineup. Plesac is trending into a player to avoid on Saturday.--Riley Mrack - RotoBaller
