Both Jakob Junis and Noah Syndergaard had a rough August. Junis comes into Saturday after posting a 7.13 ERA in 24 innings last month, while Syndergaard's was 4.40 in 30 2/3 innings.

Junis has been in and out of the San Francisco Giants' rotation this season and has not caught a groove. Meanwhile, Syndergaard has been underwhelming with a 3.98 ERA and 4.45 xERA. He has been lucky, but has not settled into his role on the Philadelphia Phillies yet.

The difference between these teams does not come down to either starter. The Phillies are a far better hitting team, particularly in the last month of baseball. Neither bullpen has had much success as of late, either, so expect Syndergaard to at least piece together an outing of five innings pitched while limiting hard contact. It is not easy to back Junis during such a poor stretch.
