ESPN has us at 19-8 in day games, Dodgers at 20-8. Nats are 37-15 at night, Dodgers 43-21, Stros 42-22
Dodgers have 10 more away games than home post-ASB. Could bode well since they're much worse outside of LA. Win a game, Marlins.
By contrast, the Astros' poorest hitters this season in day games are, in terms of OPS: Bregman - .653 Aoki - .668 McCann - .674 Marisnick - .694 Seeing that all 4 of those guys are in the lineup today, obviously Hinch doesn't think much of day/night splits.
It ought to help that the Twinkies are running out a pitcher today who's pitched even worse than Musgrove this year. Pre-game prediction: Astros 10, Twins 2.
Gibson giving up HRs on 21% of all fly balls hit off of him. That is about double the league average.
Doesn't look like it's going to happen this series, already down 3-0. Dodgers have mostly a cakewalk until August 8 and even looking at the rest of the season they're playing some pretty crappy teams outside of their own division. I thought we'd run away from the rest of the major league clubs this year, we might not be within 5 wins of the Dodgers come the end of the season. No matter though, they still have to send out playoff Kershaw several times if they want something to happen.
Obviously home field advantage is up for grabs but I really don't care at all about the Dodgers until they are lucky enough to play us in the World Series.
