Happy Art Vandelay day again as Jason Alexander will pitch for Milwaukee vs the Phillies — who all seem to rake in Miller Park for what it’s worth. Today’s theme is that we have a bunch of notable players vs former teams today on the hitting side. [spacer height=”20px”] WEATHER All games should wind up playing tonight but the Tigers/Pirates game has potential for thunderstorms in it. [spacer height=”20px”] This is definitely a quality pitching night compared to the disaster we had last night. KYLE WRIGHT There are still a few too many walks in Kyle Wright’s game for me to put him into the Ace tier but the Oakland lineup isn’t going to suddenly start walking a ton and after Tony Kemp and Jed Lowrie everyone here has a 20% or higher DCPA strikeout match-up vs KW who has only given up 3 HR on the season as well. RANGER SUAREZ Milwaukee is expected to have Hunter Renfroe and Willy Adames back in the line-up tonight which greatly helps their chances against Suarez.  The problem for the Brewers is that those are literally the only two guys outside of maybe Andrew McCutchen lucking into a lead off homer that have a shot off Suarez.  Milwaukee is a LH heavy lineup and Suarez is lock down vs lefties. ALEK MANOAH or Justin Verlander vs Seattle… Both Manoah and Verlander are trending in the right direction for a massive game.  Manoah almost had it last game before giving up late damage to the White Sox as he was going for the CGSO.  Tonight vs the Royals he has almost no trouble hitters in the lineup from the left side that he has to worry about. While the Royals might overall be a low K% team, they do tend to strike out when facing pitchers that have high end arsenal stuff and Manoah’s fastball ranks up there in terms of movement.

Tarik Skubal … Might seem like the “how can this guy fail” option but…...
