Jesse Chavez takes the mound in what will be a bullpen game for Atlanta in the penultimate game of the regular season for Atlanta, which happens to be game number 160 due to the “postponed” game against the Rockies that is almost certain to never be played, with Atlanta having the division wrapped up and no potential playoff seeding ramifications. That being said, Chavez has been really good this season, despite conflicted peripheral stats. The most sparkling stats are his 2.27 ERA and 2.06 FIP. His xERA of 3.16 and xFIP of 3.73 are a bit less kind, and reflective of the fact that Chavez has not given up a home run so far this season in his 31.
