My Prediction
Dodgers will win the next three games and we see the pitching shine tonight. The roof is closed in Arlington, TX due to the weather and this should help pitching out on both sides.
Pitchers
Iin a game that is projected to be lower scoring I’ll start with the Pitcher breakdown as I like both pitchers to go more than 5 innings tonight with a limited amount of damage against them and high strikeout upside. Both should be staples in your Showdown lineup and both would be the top picks for Captain’s today.
Walker Buehler (LAD) – $10,400
He was much better at home in Dodger Stadium this season, however a lot of those splits have to do with seeing the same divisional opponents frequently and in some good hitters parks. Neither of which are issues today and Buehler has proven to really be a guy who rises up his game in the big spot. Love him today and he’s been great vs LH batters this year as well.
Charlie Morton (TB) – $10,000
Another guy who pitches well in the big spot and will not be overwhelmed facing a HR heavy lineup. Morton will need to give the Rays length today so that they can trust their bullpen for the next three days.
