The initial look at the numbers shows two pitchers that are struggling in 2015, but after further analysis Feldman appears to have a large edge. One poor game has skewed the numbers for Feldman who has a 75% quality start percentage this season. Looking at historical stats indicates that he struggles against Seattle but all but his last start against them came in August of 2013 and the current lineup is vastly different than what he faced earlier. Seattle’s roster has a lifetime batting average of .240 and a slugging percentage of .354. Houston rolls to another win here.
