I have no idea what our rotation order is these days. I was guessing either Berríos or Bassitt was pitching tonight. I'm excited to see Yusei! I think Yusei would probably start in a 3-game series against the Os given how many lefties they have. Of their 8 best hitters (OPS+ of ~115 or better), 3 are lefties and 3 are switch hitters (although I don't know if they prefer one way or another: Rutschman, Santander, Hicks). I think Rutschman is primarily right, that's how he started in the home-run derby anyway

Os OPS vs. Lefty pitching: .769

Os OPS vs Righty pitching: .733

So this might actually be the worst matchup of the series, even considering how well Kikuchi has been doing.

I love the data-driven argument 😎! I'm not swayed though lol :P. If I guessed the series' pitchers right here I'll predict that Yusei has the lowest ERA of Berríos and Bassitt. I'll guess Berríos has next best

😂 Looks like it's Gaus tomorrow and Berrios on Thursday - any updated predictions? 😂😂

[–] streetfestival@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah, but I'm going down with the ship, even after all the hard contact and 1 run on the Kooch 😂: Kikuchi > Gausman > Berríos

I think we can all agree we have the pitching regardless who we throw out there. It's our lineup that needs to produce in a series like this. Just have to score more than they do. Easy right? So far so good!

[–] streetfestival@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

who we throw out there

Good pun! Yeah, our lineup sure needs to show up. I'm like SpongeBob in your gif during the Os 1-5 at the plate

Ok we'll revisit this after Thursday's game 😂
