Another important start for Archer. Tailion, Williams, Musgrove and Archer are potentially the backbone for the best rotation for the Pirates in a very long time.

Frazier's rest brings to mind the strategy of resting players all season. In 2016, the Pirates began September 67-64 and 2.5 games out of the 2nd WC spot. The well rested Pirates then went 11-19 in Sept/Oct. In 2017, the well rested Pirates were already out of it by September, entering the month 63-71 and 9.5 games out of the 2nd WC spot. Then they went 12-16 in Sept/Oct. This season, they entered September 66-69 and 9.5 games out of the 2nd WC spot. So far, they're 3-2 in September but it's too late to matter so well rested players like Frazier might as well rest some more. I hope next year they reconsider this strategy of resting players which (1) generally results in too many losses by September to matter anyway and (2) does nothing to improve the team's performance in the final month of the season.

I like the idea of Kramer starting at second base, but it would have been good to let Frazier start in left field. Keep his hot bat in the lineup.

Dang Bucs -210 Fav highest I have seen them in a long while. Something going on Marlins are bad and Straily not good but Archer ? I could see Tallion getting this number . Would never lay 210 on the Pirates those type of Bets are for Kershaws MadBum etc. Line moved from -170 to 210 pretty big move

Ok, just not my thing. I hope you win though. But yeah, those seem like strange odds for the Pirates.
