It is crazy, have not seen this quite a while. Keep seeing LeBlanc, but have not seen a Book with the game on the Board.

Why did Gearrin start the game for 1 inning to have Leblanc pitch the last 8? Makes no sense

Have you guys not been following MLB last couple years? Its the new trend lot of MLB teams have been doing. Its the "opener" position. Tampa started the trend two years ago. You basically have one reliever throw the first inning (theyll pick the reliever with good trends against the opposing lineup) then have the starter OR the rest of relief throw the game.

The strategy is, why have a reliever come in innings 6-9? why not have one of those relievers start the first inning, in hopes to shut them down first inning, then get to the pen again inlater innings.

Giants and A's been dabbling with this as well. Its the new trend.

First time Mariners tried it. Cost them the game. Season is lost anyway so no one really cares much
Moore starting tonight and I see Astros -161 currently. Guy above thinking Astros with this lineup would be -350 was pretty lol
