2021 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 32
Photo by Nuccio DiNuzzo/Getty ImagesAhead of his last start and then this one, I pointed out that Zach Davies has been a slow starter in his career. This doesn’t take too much digging. Zach has a 5.24 career ERA in 25 career March/April starts, Contrast that with his 3.61 ERA over 52 career starts in the second half of the season. I pick the second half the season, because it’s not particularly a light switch. It’s a slow improvement over the season. His career May ERA was 4.11 before Friday’s game. And his June ERA is 4.15.
