J.Taillon u16.5 Outs+104

Taillon with a 5.85 ERA at home this season, under this line in 8/12 home starts. Sucks vs lefties (.879 OPS) and the third time through the order (.828 OPS). MIL sees a ton of pitches per PA (4.01 is second highest) and started 4 lefties today. This is also an incredibly crucial series for both teams - I don’t see Ross letting Taillon work through too much trouble.
