Keuchel and McHugh going, chalk up another series win. One the offensive side George Springer quietly has an .873 OPS over the last 8 games. Also Jason Castro only has a .216 BABIP despite a sky high 39% LD%, and a 1/1 K/BB ratio. He's hitting very well this season, but is hitting into some really bad luck.
Gonna be interesting to see what happens with Gattis. Do we try to hide him in LF, or do we give him a start at 1B? Doubt they sit him for all 3 games.
Looks like we're also getting the top of San Diego's order. These guys throw a lot of strikes. All have solid K/BB ratios. We'll see a decent number of hits and a lot of strikeouts.
Shields and McHugh is going to be a very good game. Hopefully Mariniseck will play, we need great defense tonight because it should be a low scoring ballgame.
Last series on the West Coast for now! Whew, I can't wait for games to start at 7:10 again. Let's keep the momentum up from Oakland, and steal another series on the road! My (meaningless) Predictions for the Series: Game 1: Loss (2-1) Bullpen gives up game winning run in the top of the 9th. Game 2: Win (5-3) Another quality start for Hernandez Game 3: Win (2-0) McHugh is a beast.
