So who gets the day off today? I’m thinking Bregman and Tucker.

We start the night 4.5 games up on the White Sox. They lost to the Tigers 5-3 this afternoon.
I like the pitching matchup with Urquidy going for us. Don't be surprised to see Bregman with a night off.

If Tucker is still experiencing pain in his right shoulder, there is no reason to not give him a day off.

I think I would go with Diaz in place of Bregman at 3B; Chas, Meyers and Siri in the outfield, and Yordan at DH.
That said, I would not be surprised to see Yordan in LF again tonight.

That all makes sense. Chas, Meyers, and Siri is a better defensive OF than having Yordan out there. He will either be in LF or DH. I think Marwin or Diaz gives Bregman the night off, and, I lean toward Diaz. |

Well it's a lefty pitcher, so Castro will likely start....

Altuve is hitting some solid balls to right and center. He's about to bust out on a hit streak.

Went a little too long with Urquidy tonight. When he hit the wall, he hit it hard. The night off did Altuve a lot of good. He looked good tonight as did Diaz. |

Went a little too long with Urquidy tonight. Just a little. The Lagares single was on a four-seamer at the very top of the zone. That's a pitcher's pitch so tip your hat to Legares on that one. Wong's fly out was on a changeup that was totally center cut. Definitely a mistake pitch. But it came after three perfectly located pitches. All three should have been called strikes. Two were. The very next pitch was also sorta fat. A hanging curve. Ohtani singled. Right about there in a close game you'd probably pull the pitcher. But with a 10-1 lead, you have the luxury of giving him a chance to clean up his own mess and maybe even get a QS. After the mound visit, he threw a slider at the top of the zone to Gosselin. Maybe a strike, maybe not. It was called a ball. The next slider was a fat cookie. Kaboom. |

They need to go 7-3 vs the ChiSox, Royals and Twins. Can they do it? |
