We’re seeing the bats pick up for these teams after two games yesterday, and I expect offense here as well. Suarez has allowed 17 hits and 9 earned runs in his last 18.1 innings. Warren has allowed 23 hits and 12 earned runs in his last 18.1 innings. Warren has a 4.33 ERA and a .268 allowed batting average at home this season. Two shaky-at-best pitchers lately and two capable lineups. Expect some fireworks. Give me the over.
