6’7” 197 pounds Milwaukee Brewers

Jake Misirowski is starting for the 3rd time today.  Milwaukee has high hopes for this young man.

Under whatever first 5 looks right,

Stone cold flame thrower !

Kid is definitely talented 

3  for 5 innings....

Skenes all day 

Only thing that troubles me with this game, especially F5, is the attention and magnitude of this game, which neither pitcher has seen.  Skenes mostly b/c all of his starts are watched but none have really been this "big", and Mis b/c he's just been called up and has been untouchable.  They could have early nerves.

The Pirates bullpen has gotten MUCH better over the past month or so and they are now middle of the pack, the Brewers bullpen also decent.  I'd play this full game personally since the F5 is so low even given how much people hate bullpens b/c Mis isn't going more than 6 innings but Skenes might go deeper in game so less likely the Pirates bullpen needs to eat a lot of innings.  And, if they did, the play prob would have already lost.

Good luck 

64 degrees     they might go 6 at least...

@LAGameofInches

 Yes.  The # is 2.5 first 5, juiced to the over.

Under 7.5 is a lot more workable.  

Line is 6.5 now!  

I might just go with Arizona again.

Arizona -1.5 +102. 

another win potentially Burke has been trash but Gallen has elevated the ball and given up a TON of HRs. Good thing for him the white Sox don’t hit many. I see an over here so I’d even back the Dbacks on the run line for the sweep and +$

@LAGameofInches

 You’ve been a pretty good guide on these Diamondbacks.

Added over 8 -118.

@Cranky_Hank I cannot bet baseball due to a conflict so take that how you might.  That changes after the ASB this year as I have been locked up for about 5 years now b/c I had worked in a sports book on the MLB side.  Frustratingly, I signed that waiver before gambling became legalized in so many states so today it might only be a year for all I know.  But I do have a good read on Dbacks especially and with the heat today the total of 8 looks like it can be attained but I'm no prophet ;) 

@LAGameofInches

 "with the heat today...".

It's 74 in Chicago.

I would go with over 1.5 walks for Zac Gallen. He's given up a walk every 2+ innings this season. Last game he only gave up one walk, but got hammered for 10 hits and 7 runs. I expect him to be skittish in the zone and nibble, leading to at least two walks against a White Sox team whose only offensive virtue is drawing walks.

TIE at the end 1st 5 @ +320 doesn't look too bad. 

Keep em coming !

You're right I just had gone back to look at the weather and saw the error but couldn't update the thread as the time limit to do so had passed.  Regardless, I think the game gets over the 8 which is a bit low imo.  I realize Burke has pitched well in May but June has been a different story and if that continues against a solid hitting lineup, despite all the crazy injuries, it should get over that number.

Regardless, good luck...

And a quick two for AZ...25% of the way there ;)

Make that 50%

@LAGameofInches

 You gave me a push!  Thanks dude.
