This Gamethread is starting late and already Duane Kuiper, who is broadcasting from Globe Life Field for the very first time, has warned that his vantage point is so high up that he’ll likely misjudge flyballs. That might not hold true, though, as the 102 Park Factor is sixth-highest in MLB. 119 for home runs, especially. Anyway, here are the lineups that’ll try to hit some dingers against a pair of dinger-preventing starting pitchers:
CF — Heliot Ramos
C — Patrick Bailey
3B — Matt Chapman
LF — Michael Conforto
DH — Jorge Soler
1B — Wilmer Flores
RF — Mike Yastrzemski
2B — Thairo Estrada
SS — Brett Wisely
SP — Logan Webb
