They have a day game tomorrow so a big chance they PPD and play 2 tomorrow. Starts in Delay = Fade Starts on time = Play Either way I have one play in that game.

All the warning track outs tonight for Anderson! TYLOR MEGILL One reason Megill is pitching so well is that he has held opponents to just a 20% Line Drive rate this season. The Nationals come in with some good recent numbers which keeps his rating on the model down but long term this is a lineup that should strikeout more than the 18-19% they have lately and I expect that Megill will finish in the 25% range today — which projects to be about 6.5-7 strikeouts.
