Pitching Duel Unfolds as Brewers and Guardians Keep Fans Guessing with Scoreless Standoff

It was a decent enough day on the diamond yesterday as both plays that I had were not losers. That seems like an odd way to say that I picked some winners, and that’s because I didn’t pick two winners. I won the game between the Diamondbacks and the Giants, but I also pushed in the game with the Mets and Pirates as the game was tied after five innings. Today we look to ride this mini-no loss streak to another couple of games with the first one here between the Brewers and the Guardians.

The Brewers are not a team that you’re expecting to be amazing this season, but they are doing just enough to at least stay in the thick of things at the moment. When the year is all said and done, I fully expect them to at least be in contention for a Wild Card, if not battling for the division crown once again. The team is only hitting .233 for the season, but they have manufactured 184 runs without a ton of homers as they sit with just 35. The pitching staff, outside of Freddy Peralta has been just okay. Today’s starter, Quinn Priester, bounced from Pittsburgh where he was drafted, to the Red Sox, now to the Brewers. In his good games, he looks like he will be a serviceable starter for a long time. In his bad games, it looks like he could benefit from some more minor league time to work on certain things. For the season, he has allowed 16 earned runs, but 12 of those came in two games. He has 19 of his 28.1 innings where he has thrown really solid baseball. Guardians hitters haven’t seen much of him, but he has allowed five hits in 12 at-bats against them.
