As we count down the days until football what better way to watch Sunday Night Baseball with a 5,4,3,2,1 play that pays +17899?
Tonight is a celebration. The last Sunday without football until February. We've waited long enough, now let's hope the MLB rolls out the juiced balls to make everyone happy in basically the last Sunday Night Baseball game anyone is watching this year.
Mookie is heating up and when he homers, he homers in bunches. 7 Total bases last night and boasting a 6/11 history vs Clevinger we love the spot.
Speaking of Clevinger, he's been right at the number the L5 starts finishing with 3 four times. Not great, BUT the Dodgers just struck out 9x vs righty Yu Darvish last night so hopefully he gave him some tips. The Dodgers do K over 20% to righties and Clevinger has averaged 4 strikeouts per game on the season.
Keeping with the Padres, and speaking of hitters heating up Machado has cleared the number in 4 straight, with homers in consecutive games as well. In the midst of an 8-game hit streak, were looking to Manny to keep it rolling.
Freddie Freeman is absolutely torching right handers this year, knocking them around to a .329 batting average. In his last 10 games alone, Freddie has recorded two hits in 5. Thats absurd and the matchup splits point to it happening again tn.
Now with Mookie and Freddie theoretically being on base a lot in this one (obviously see above) we need JT to drive one of them in to complete the countdown. Sporting a 13 game hit streak himself, and hitting .273 vs righties we like the spot for him to come up with men on base. Two RBI (RBIs...? Seriously has this ever been put to bed?) last night and hes driven in a run in 5/L10, he should get the opportunity again tonight.
