Nine games to start things off this week with some new series that we haven’t seen recently (or all season) which is very nice.

[spacer height=”10px”] Diamondbacks vs Guardians ARI – Rojas, Marte, Varsho CLE – Ramirez, Naylor, Gimenez, Jones Great weather and two RHP who should not be pitching come 2024 in the Big Leagues, certainly not as starters.
