Blade Tidwell goes against Jacob Misiorowski in game two of the double header. Misiorowski has been incredible so far, only allowing three hits in 16 innings with 19 strikeouts. Tidwell has three appearances in MLB level thus far, allowing 18 hits in just 10.2 innings. Last time out in relief he allowed runs in each of the full innings he worked behind David Peterson and hadn't prevented runs in either start before that. I’ll back the young rookie Misiorowski here as opposed Tidwell who hasn’t been good in MLB level and has to face a Brewers lineup that’s 7th in MLB for OPS against righties at .788 over the last few weeks.

The rookie flamethrower has been incredible so far, recording five or more strikeouts in each start, while going up to eight last time. I'm interested in a ladder at 6,7,8 K's on Fanduel, all at plus odds. There is a lot of talk about Misiorowski's fastball velocity, as it averages 99.6 mph, but I think the changeup may be the key here. He's recorded three strikeouts on that pitch already, with a 100% whiff rate over just three batters, and all vs. lefties. Against guys like Nimmo, Soto and McNeil, lefties with lower K rates, that changeup could be the equalizer tonight. With a double header today, he should be given the opportunity to work into the 6th inning if going well.
