Pineda much better pitcher than Furbush. That&#x27;s your reason right there.

&#xD;&#xA;Have you seen Ogando pitch?  This guy has been money.  RIGHT NOW, he is pitching better than Pineda.  Pineda has been struggling.&#xD;&#xA;Ogando is 4-2, 2.90 in his last six starts. (In his 2 losses the texas Bats were struggling)&#xD;&#xA;Pineda is 1-2, 8.59 in his last four starts. &#xD;&#xA;Oganda is returning from 3 days off (birth of his son).  I guess the books MAY be looking at this from a &#x27;he won&#x27;t be as focused&#x27; stand point, after his days off.  I think he will be even more motivated.  Also, Texas bats are pretty hot right now.  &#xD;&#xA;Texas -1.5 is what im on.&#xD;&#xA;Good topic/discussion.

I don&#x27;t care for how popular this play is, but I think Pineda sets up more for bust then boom.Michael Pineda made the AL All Star team as a Rookie.  In his first 12 starts he went 77.1 innings, 1.00 WHIP, and 2.33 ERA. He has the 22nd adjusted ERA in baseball on the year. But for Pineda, like many Rookie pitchers, it&#x2019;s been a tale of two seasons.Since his dominating start he&#x2019;s followed with 9 starts, 52.2 innings, a 1.20 WHIP, and 5.30 ERA, his adjusted ERA over the last 30 days ranks 112th. Lot&#x2019;s of things are catching up to Pineda. Foremost being the fatigue of a 162 game season. Seattle has recognized this, outwardly admitting that they will be taking him out of the normal 5 day rotation. That itself can cause problems as pitchers historically perform below average outside of a standard 4 to 5 day rotation.Other variables stack up against Pineda. His ERA/BA allowed in home starts is 2.33 / .176, road starts 4.50 / .227, day starts 2.74 / .189, night starts 3.92 / .212.   He&#x2019;s also facing further scouting reports and repetition. You often hear about the sophomore jinx for pitchers, well it tends to start toward then end of year once film accumulates. This as well as fatigue coincide with factors for his decline.  This will also mark his 3rd start against the Rangers, more then any team this season. He faced them twice in the midst of his hot start, 13 innings, 12 hits, 7 ER&#x2019;s. With Texas already getting to him during his best stretch of the year and with little to go on,
