Milwaukee Brewers (18-22) at Detroit Tigers (19-21)
September 9th, Wednesday, 1:10 PM EDT
Projected Starters
RHP Corbin Burnes (2-0, 2.35 ERA) vs LHP Matthew Boyd (1-5, 6.64 ERA)
Game Preview
The Tigers continue with their rebuilding efforts and, even though their playoff chances are slim considering the fact they are in one of the toughest divisions in baseball, they seem to be on the rise after several years of being one of the weakest teams in the American League. The Brewers, on the other hand, have looked disappointing and, with them sitting four games below the .500 threshold, they will have a tough road ahead of them even if they want to reach one of the two NL Wild Card spots available. The pitching matchup will feature two hurlers on the rise and, although it's clear Corbin Burnes has the better numbers, Boyd can't be counted out, either – he is coming off back-to-back quality starts while fanning 29 across his last four outings.
