This Is WAR | Giants 9, Mets 3
Everyone's favorite statistic revealed an under-the-radar ace of the starting rotation.
WAR—what is it good for? It's good for telling you Jakob Junis has been the second best starter on the Giants this season.
1. Logan Webb — 1.6 WAR
2. Jakob Junis — 1.3 WAR
3. Carlos Rodon — 1.2 WAR
Who is Jakob Junis? He's the team's fifth starter, for now, and it's hard to see him coming out of the rotation when Anthony DeSclafani returns.
Junis has pitched five-plus innings in all six of his outings, including Wednesday's win, and allowed two or fewer earned runs in five of them. See you in the playoff rotation, Jakob.
