Drew Rasmussen has had positive variance on his side thus far when it comes to his ERA this year; his 2.64 mark is significantly deflated relative to his 3.50 FIP (Fielding Independent Pitching, an estimator of ERA that focuses on the things a pitcher has the most control over).

Negatives with the Tampa Bay Rays Game Today

Drew Rasmussen has been given a shorter leash than the average pitcher this year, throwing 11.6 fewer adjusted pitches-per-game than the average starter.

Hot weather is strongly correlated with more offense (and fewer Ks), and the weather forecast expects the hottest temperature on the slate today at 82°.

Drew Rasmussen’s high usage percentage of his fastball (58.3% this year) is likely hurting his results, since they are typically much less effective than breaking or off-speed pitches.
