Here come the runs, do de do do, here come the runs, do de do do, and I say, that’s alright…. Yep, a big scoring night last evening and there’s going to be a lot of over-reaction to that by others, but we must remember that we expected Bullpens to start to wear down and the combination of hitters getting into a consistent routine is going to lead to more teams scoring 7+ runs going forward.

Let others fade Bieber off a really bad start as he bounces back tonight vs a suddenly ice cold Twins offense. ZAC GALLEN A mix between Hendricks and Gallen tonight and I’m sure there is some type of mixed drink with Hendricks but I am personally not going to recommend it. The side to prefer is Gallen right now over Kyle Hendricks, who I do think pitches okay, but Gallen is in a very good routine right now and with the Cubs high strikeout potential I don’t want to fade what should be a 7 to 9 strikeout performance from the Milk Man. MICHAEL LORENZEN * We want to keep an eye out how the first game of this double header plays out. But there’s a lot of positive things for Lorenzen starting with the Oakland offense being terrible and this being the evening game of their double-header. If the first game is an Angels blowout though I wouldn’t mind fading Lorenzen as most double headers are being split.

Expect these games to still feature good upside for the overs but not as explosive as yesterday. The entire world will go to the Yankees/White Sox in a game with Jordan Montgomery and Dallas Keuchel, and while this game could still finish 5-3, I would tell you that early Saturday night games in Chicago always tend to play down to offense. It’s just a thing with the lighting around 6pm when they start the games there on Saturday. So yeah, the Yanks are hot and Rizzo probably has…...
