If our game 1 opponent is Skubal, we might actually want Adley and McCann's bats both in the lineup with O'Hearn and Kjerstad moving to the bench.

I'm confident that's what we'll see in the G1 vs Skubal or Ragans. Facing the LHP G1 matches decently with Burnes' apparent preference for McCann.

Roster Resource thinks it has tonight's lineup and Kjerstad on bench again.

He is 7 AB shy of 130 MLB regular season AB with 3 games left, and if he ends up short some prospect list makers may still label him one.    If still with the Orioles, he will be 26 years old by Sarasota.

I think the OP has its answer as it has been Cole and Lopez these two nights and the team is preparing for that intensity.

My guess is vs Skubal or Ragans, the Os will go with an IF of Gunnar, Westy, Mounty and Urias.  Rivera will DH. Santander starts in RF. Obviously one of Cowser or Mullins starts but do both of them start?  Would they start Slater?

Lefties hit Ragans much better than righties do this year.

Everyone is terrible vs Skubal although lefties are worse.

 

I’m saying they go with McCann at C. Adley at DH. Slater in LF. Cowser is CF. 

Cowser and Gunnar should be our only LHH starting. 

No more BS from Burnes. We need 7+ IP and 2ER or less.
