The set-up: One of these starters has been consistent from the "get go," while the other has been a complete train wreck. The visitors go with Mike Clevinger, while the home side goes with Yovani Gallardo.
The pitchers: Clevinger is so far 7-5 with a 3.47 ERA. He most recently gave up five runs (four earned) while striking out eight in a sub-par setback to the hard-hitting Yankees on Saturday. Note though that it was only the second time this season that he's given up multiple home runs in a game. Also note that Clevinger has been sharp on the road this year with a 4-2, 2.61 ERA record.
Gallardo is so far 3-1 with an 8.60 ERA. In his final start before the break he'd be rocked for six runs off seven hits over five innings against Boston. Over 30.1 innings of work this season Gallardo owns a disturbing 8.60 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 20:13 K/BB.
The pick: Gallardo has been downright terrible and I don't think the All Star break will change anything here for the veteran. Clevinger on the other hand was clearly fading as the first half closed, so the extra time off will be extremely beneficial in my opinion.
