Saturday brings a full day of baseball with games from 1:05 p.m. ET all the way until 9:10 p.m. ET. The card also brings us an extra game with a double dip between the Mets and Phillies in a day-night twin bill that features the nightcap on Fox. FS1 will also have the Brewers/Cubs game, so even if you don’t have the MLB package, you’ll still be able to catch some games.
No article tomorrow, but you can catch me with Brady Kannon on from 8-10 p.m. ET for what will be my final show of the season. There is one more episode after this, as football takes over on Sunday nights beginning September 4, but I’ll be out for that one. Thanks to everybody for listening. I feel like the show has had a very successful first season thanks to the hard work of the crew and the open-mindedness of our listeners. I appreciate everybody that has tuned in.
We’ve got some good pitching matchups and some good betting angles today, so there should be some rooting interest. Let’s see what’s in store for Saturday.
Brewers/Cubs: The weather certainly helped in Chicago’s 8-7 win on Friday afternoon, as the teams combined for five home runs and 19 hits. Neither Aaron Ashby nor Keegan Thompson had a good start, but the Cubs scored two in the sixth to come away with a one-run win. Tough loss for the Brewers, who lost another game in the NL Central standings with the Cardinals’ win. Tough outings for a couple of young guys that are reaching some new innings heights as well. The weather was a big part, but I do wonder if Thompson may see an innings limit imposed soon.
