Pitching matchups are subject to change, so make sure to check back before gametime on Monday and before lineups lock:
We see it every year. A player who has been good during the course of his career has a down year. It happens. Last year, it was Eric Hosmer, Kris Bryant (for his standards), and Jake Arrieta. Who will it be this year? No one can know for sure, but I will definitely give my input (with the help of other members of the Scorecrow team).
The one thing about baseball that is absolutely beautiful is its level of uncertainty. On any given year, any player
