In The Dugout for Wednesday. 7/23

[TheGame]

Welcome to In The Dugout.
Baseball handicapping with a twist.
In here we use the home plate umpire in handicapping each game.
Please note that there is not much advance umpire info available on Monday and Friday.

Here is what we look at.
Pitcher vs Team.
Pitcher with umpire.
Team with umpire.
Head to head trends.
Umpire trends.
If all those favor a side or a total. Then it's a play.
