WEATHER No issues tonight in any of the games and the roof likely is open in Milwaukee which helps the pitchers (although Berrios not a fan of the cold). Overall a relatively quiet slate. Corbin Burnes (Brewers) This is a great pitching match-up between Burnes and Berrios, but it’s Burnes who I want. He mostly has to navigate around just keeping Luis Arraez off base to lead things off and then I like his stuff against Polanco, Buxton, Kepler and Sano. Look for a good strikeout game from Burnes tonight. Joe Musgrove (Padres) Now is the time to go to PETCO for pitching. Cold and wind blowing in for San Diego, where game time temp of 62 degrees might send the fans packing for sweatshirts out there. Should be a low scoring game overall and the Padres are just flexing on the Diamondbacks late in the games so if he can get the lead, he will hold on for the win. Contrarian 3rd SP Choice Caleb Smith game stack with Musgrove. Another Coors Field slate with limited other options out there. It is, what it is … Really just one main game to focus a stack around tonight. WHITE SOX vs LA ANGELS Ohtani, Trout, Moncada, Robert Hello Mr. Saturday Night Special Mike Trout. You know Lance Lynn has extreme splits to the negative against LHB so Ohtani batting 2nd again should be on your minds, but outside of him the Angels might get overlooked because they have mostly RH bats. Well, they also have down in the zone Saturday night Mike Trout and that’s where he will thrive. Trout has hit 2 HR so far this season, but unfortunately they both were left of the foul pole in left field. He’ll correct the timing tonight. For the White Sox, does it really matter if such a hard hitting team gets a guy who gives up a ton of hard contact? Probably not, but Luis Robert and Yoan Moncada are my focal plays here. 3B is a dumpster tonight so that’s Moncada and Luis Robert just hits the ball hard and has big game potential every time out vs a bad pitcher. Contrarian Stack Milwaukee Brewers – We get a spot where the Brewers can beat up on a somewhat chalky (30%~) Jose Berrios who usually isn’t great early in the season. Yelich-Shaw-Hiura the CORE. …...
