This expected pitchers’ duel is a contrast in styles, as the precise Shaun Marcum of the Toronto Blue Jays taking on the harder throwing Ben Sheets of the Milwaukee Brewers.

Still, Marcum has been very Greg Maddux-esque in his prime this season, with a 2.43 ERA and a fantastic 0.99 WHIP in 92.2 innings. He has also maintained his for extremely well, allowing exactly one run in three of his last four starts and two runs in the other outing. Marcum has been a model of consistency, allowing three earned runs or less in 12 of his 14 starts this season, and if he is in need of relief, he has the support of a Toronto pen that ranks fifth in the Major Leagues with a 3.13 ERA.

Now Sheets is obviously one of the best pitchers in the league, as he is 7-1 with a 2.72 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP. However, this may be the first time all year that he actually has a higher ERA and WHIP than his mound opponent. Still, Sheets has been unhittable at times, so do not be surprised if this is a tight contest late that will be decided by the bullpens.

This would strongly favor underdog Toronto, as the Brewers rank 19th in the majors with a 4.12 pen ERA.
