Nothing is in progress yet, and no game has gone final today, so the entire Tuesday schedule is still in front of us. The headliner has the Los Angeles Dodgers visiting the Atlanta Braves, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto matched against Chris Sale. That’s a terrific contrast, and Sale is never background noise when he takes the mound. Yamamoto brings his own ability to control a game, so this is the matchup I’m circling first. Out West, the Milwaukee Brewers visit the San Diego Padres, with Dustin May facing Nick Pivetta. That one could turn on which starter establishes the strike zone early and keeps traffic under control. Those are the only two games on today’s board. As for yesterday, Chicago White Sox 4, Cleveland Guardians 3 was one final, while Tampa Bay Rays 5, New York Yankees 2 was the other. Today, though, the slate resets around four starters and two games with nowhere else for the spotlight to go. Did You Know? Stan Musial finished his 22-season Major League career with 3,630 hits, divided perfectly into 1,815 hits at home and 1,815 on the road. Dean's Take: Managers should use their best reliever in the highest-leverage moment, not automatically save him for the ninth inning Everything Baseball. Every Day.
