I understand why you can watch this over here, as JA Happ was brutal for most of the season and Tyler Mahle had a history of going up and down. The Minnesota offense hasn’t been overwhelming for much of the year, however, and Mahle does much of his best job on the road. On the flip side, Cincinnati has stalled much of the series offensively against San Diego, and I need to see the offense pick up before I can restore confidence in them for anyone here. Give me the sub in this matchup.
