Taijuan Walker vs. Dylan Bundy, 1:10pm
It’s out first day game of the season, and another game against Dylan Bundy, the apparent anchor of a scuffling Angels rotation and staff. Bundy pitched well against the M’s last week, striking out 8 in 6 IP, but he made one mistake that proved decisive: an early mistake that Jose Marmolejos hit for a three-run bomb in the M’s 3-2 win. Tai Walker was even better HIS last outing, tossing 7 scoreless against Oakland in an M’s win.
I spent a lot of time discussing Bundy’s arsenal and its evolution last week, so let’s talk about a global trend in 2020.
