All sorts of hilarity, Sean Manaea goes 3-1 with a blown save (in a game he didn't get the decision) and hit a HR.

I mean, why wouldn't two of the highest scoring offenses in the league duke it out to a 1-0 final in Coors?

Pitcher bats 8th in all lineups, so load lineup and swap him with the #8 hitter. Lineups 1/2 are fine. SP should be Zimmerman, Miley, Thornton.

Pitcher bats 8th in all lineups, please swap him with the #8 hitter prior to each game. Use lineup #6 vs Bailey, lineups 1/2 vs others.

Outlaws waste a 13 K performance from Verlander in game 1, rely on the offense (and a 4 WP/2 PB outing from Stroman) to take games 2 and 3.

Pitcher bats 8th in every lineup, just swap him with the #8 hitter prior to the game. CM can handle everything else, except please use lineup #6 vs Stroman.

Pence/Santana semi-platoon remains a monster, 419/438/884.

MP should be fine, starters are Shoemaker, Thornton, and Verlander. Pitcher bats 8th, swap him with the listed #8 hitter before each game.

Coors is triple-tastic.

Pitcher bats 8th, so swap him with the 8th hitter prior to each game.

Verlander retires the first 19 batters he faces on the way to his first win of the season, but the rest of the pitching looks every bit as dicey in action as it does on paper. 3 HR per game will cure a lot of pitching problems, though. Should be ready for the 2nd half, Thornton, Verlander, Miley. Pitcher bats 8th, so drop the #9 hitter down after loading the lineups before each game.

Initial MP.
