🔬 ULX ALT SIM — ATL @ MIL

This is not a game I want to force offense in. Sale (2.16 ERA) vs. Misiorowski (1.75 ERA, 210 K) is legitimately one of today’s nastiest pitching matchups. Misiorowski also carries a 0.75 WHIP, while Sale already held Milwaukee to five hits and zero earned runs in their earlier meeting.

SIM SCORE: MIL 3 — ATL 2

⚾ ATL SIM

R. Acuña Jr. — 1-4, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 SB

D. Baldwin — 0-4, 2 K

M. Olson — 1-4, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 2 K

M. Harris II — 1-4, 1 2B

O. Albies — 1-4

M. Dubón — 1-3

D. Smith — 0-3

A. Riley — 1-3, 1 2B, 1 RBI

M. Yastrzemski — 0-3

Misiorowski: 6.1 IP | 5 H | 2 ER | 9 K | 2 BB

🔥 Best ATL TB ceiling: Olson

⚡ Sneaky XBH: Riley

🏃 SB look: Acuña

💣 WHO-man damage: Riley

Olson’s 36 HR lead Atlanta, but the Braves have also produced only an 85 wRC+/.297 wOBA in August, so I’m not stacking ATL into Misiorowski.

🍺 MIL SIM

J. Chourio — 1-4, 1 R, 1 SB

B. Turang — 1-4, 1 R

W. Contreras — 1-4, 1 RBI

A. Vaughn — 1-4, 1 2B, 1 RBI

J. Bauers — 0-3, 2 K

G. Sánchez — 1-3, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 2 K

J. Ortiz — 1-3

C. Pratt — 0-3

L. Lara — 0-3

Sale: 6.0 IP | 5 H | 2 ER | 7 K | 1 BB

🔥 Best MIL TB ceiling: Chourio

⚡ Best matchup bat: Vaughn

💣 WHO-MAN HR: Gary Sánchez

🏃 SB: Chourio

Milwaukee’s offense has only a .130 ISO since Aug. 1, so Sale isn’t somebody I’m trying to attack with five different bats either.

💣 ULX EXTRACTORS

HR KING: Matt Olson

WHO HR: Gary Sánchez

2+ TB: Olson / Chourio / Riley

4+ TB: Olson / Sánchez

3 Hits: PASS

3 RBI: PASS

And that last part matters after what we were just talking about: I would NOT use anybody from this game on our 3-hit or 3-RBI experiment. Wrong environment. Save those bullets for Coors and the weaker starters later.

🎯 BEST STRAIGHTS

1. Misiorowski 8+ K ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

2. Sale 6+ K ⭐⭐⭐⭐½

3. Acuña 1+ Hit ⭐⭐⭐⭐

4. Chourio 1+ Hit ⭐⭐⭐⭐

🚨 ULX CEILING DARTS

Misiorowski 10+ K 👀

Olson 4+ TB

Gary Sánchez HR 💣

Acuña SB

My favorite ALT in the whole game = Misiorowski Ks. With these two pitchers, I’d rather hunt an outrageous 10–11 K ladder than pretend this is some 9-run offensive environment.

ULX FINAL: MIL 3-2. Pitching game. Don’t overcook the bats.
