Jake Woodford has looked solid for the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Wire Troll: Jake Woodford Jacks Value For Cards

That’s some impressive opposition to look good against, so consider giving him a chance down the stretch. Woodford has managed to reduce his medium-hit contact while raising his soft-hit contact, so he’s clearly made strides since his debut last season.

Well, with a career mark of 0-1, 2.89 against Washington, Lauer has done quite well, and really, he’s been on a very fine roll since late-June, yielding two or fewer runs in each of his last seven starts.

A relative unknown, Schwindel has taken over first base for the Cubs now that Anthony Rizzo has been traded and so far, he’s doing pretty well. Schwindel spanked his first homer as a Cub on Friday, giving him a .375 BA for August with hits in four straight games, including back-to-back two-hit efforts. At the age of 29, he’s hardly a prospect, but he’s a dude with a job at a hard to fill position and he’s currently doing everything he can to prove he deserves it for the rest of the season.
