I’m not worried about the Dodgers having a six-man rotation. No way that staff stays healthy enough for it to last.

Colt Keith is a fine target at his current 312.90 ADP. In 468 PA last year, he was better than most people think (especially Tigers fans).

Matt Vierling struggled to stay healthy last year and when he did play, he wasn’t good (76wRC+).
But with that said, I am somewhat encouraged by these numbers. (100 PA)

So far it looks like Tarik Skubal will line up against Michigan native, Hunter Brown, in Detroit on Tuesday. Simply, a must see game.

My brain cannot differentiate between Slade Cecconi and Cade Cavalli. So for the foreseeable future they are the same one person.

I try my best to not miss a Hunter Brown start these days. By far my most favorite pitcher in the league not named Tarik Skubal.

I really didn’t think Hunter Brown would come out for the 7th inning.

At this point, Lucas Giolito doesn’t even have one decent pitch. I wonder for how much longer the Red Sox are going to run him out there.

In my daily league, I debated whether or not to start Taylor Ward this afternoon. I almost benched him until I saw he had two career home runs off Giolito. I rarely look at batter vs pitcher stats but today it worked out.

It took one pitch from the bullpen for Luis Severino to lose his win.

Tarik Skubal. 13 strikeouts. Complete game. Shutout.

Or, in other words, Dingler can actually hit so he will play as much as possible.
With Jake Rogers catching Casey Mize tonight, Dillon Dingler will catch Tarik Skubal in Sunday's series finale. Tigers are moving away from personal catchers after Rogers caught every pitch Skubal threw last year.
"I'm confident in both guys catching each guy," A.J. Hinch said.
