Mikolas solid this Spring for Cards
Miles Mikolas pitched five innings of one-run ball against the Nationals split-squad on Saturday. Mikolas concludes a nice spring with a 2.14 ERA and a 15/1 K/B in 21 innings, though that doesn’t really make him any better of a bet for the season. He’s due to face the Dodgers on Opening Day.
Glasnow takes ball for Dodgers in Home Opener
Dodgers’ manager Dave Roberts announced on Sunday that Tyler Glasnow will start the team’s home opener against the Cardinals on Thursday. He’ll be followed by Bobby Miller on Friday, Yoshinobu Yamamoto on Saturday and Gavin Stone for Sunday’s series finale. The 30-year-old right-hander was forced to settle for a no-decision in his Dodgers’ debut on Wednesday, allowing two runs on a pair of hits and four walks while striking out only three batters over five frames against the Padres in South Korea.
That means James Paxton will not pitch during the first half-week of the fantasy season, but will instead line up for a double the following week — home against the Giants and at the Cubs.
