Like I said, I didn’t like a pitcher or any stacks last night. Holy crap lets not do that Monday again please? It appears the dog days of August definitely came early and in hindsight we probably should have seen any team traveling for games yesterday being a little dicey, as lots of home teams wound up winning except for the -330 favored Dodgers of course.

Idiots. Expect 6 innings of almost no hit ball from Garcia tonight. Lots of ground ball outs and lazy pop flys. MIKE CLEVINGER After the scolding that Manaea ownership took last night we could see Sunshine come in as a guy that gets overlooked against those same pesky Tigers. He’s a better graded SP than Manaea was last night for sure, and that’s not a way of backing off the pick yesterday but we knew the SP slate was trash yesterday and went with it. This isn’t that. Clevinger is far beyond his limitations coming off major injury and gets a RH heavy lineup in the heart of the order, he should have a 7 to 8 strikeout performance tonight. SHANE McCLANAHAN I am driving the bandwagon which says Shane slows down in the second half as he runs into an innings wall. But there isn’t a single Oriole tonight who I like and they have a 27% DCPA strikeout matchup vs Shane. He should get through one more start tonight with solid results. SPENCER STRIDER I have wrote about guys like Strider and Cease needing to show that they can go deep into games without just trying to strike out the side and I don’t know that we’re gonna see that yet from Strider, but the Phils do have a high K% vs RHP and after giving up 5 ER in his last outing maybe Strider can match…...
