Leading 9-4 heading into the Sunday Night game but its still extremely close.
Probably can't risk starting Wainwright. I'm already holding ERA, K/BB and OBPA. And he doesn't have any pitchers for the Sunday Night game. All my pitchers are done as well for the day.
As for hitting, I'll have Grandal and Puig, while he has Muncy. We're tied in Runs at 36 and I'm leading in RBI by 3 and leading in .SLG .609 to .568 at the moment. Still have Profar in the 3-3 Padres/Rangers game.
Can't afford a tie here, so if he flips all three of those offensive categories, we're tied at 7-7. Good chance he can take the lead in Runs and possibly tie or take the lead in RBI with Muncy. SLG could end up being close if Grandal and Puig go a combined 0 for 10 and if Muncy goes 3-4 or 4-4 with an assortment of HR's, Doubles etc. Wainwright can possibly tie SW's for me, and help me take the K lead, but if I lose ERA, K/BB and OBPA which are extremely close, then we tie. That doesn't even include him taking some offensive categories.
So my best bet is to bench Wainwright and let the series rest on the bats of Grandal, Puig and Muncy.
