Brandon Woodruff To Start On Opening Day
4 years agoMilwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff will start for the team on Opening Day on July 24 against the Cubs, according to manager Craig Counsell. Despite being injured in 2019, Woodruff had a breakout season by going 11-3 with a 3.62 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 143 strikeouts in 121 2/3 innings over 22 starts. Milwaukee isn't the best environment for a pitcher and the Cubs aren't the best matchup right out of the gates, but the 27-year-old right-hander should be seen as a serviceable No. 2 fantasy starter. He should also benefit from facing the American League Central division in interleague play during the shortened 2020 season.
