Frankie's been a roll. He's struck out 29 batters in his last three starts (19 IP) and more importantly, he's gone 2-0 with a 0.95 ERA over that span. He's been pretty so-so against the Brew Crew, posting a lifetime 6-4/4.14 in 13 games. Liriano has also been inexplicably bad at home this year with a 1-3 record and 6.04 ERA.
Jungmann was the 12th overall pick of the 2011 draft, but his numbers looked sad at Colorado Springs of the hitter's heaven PCL this season - Jungmann posted a 2-3 mark with a 6.37 ERA, tho his peripherals of 8.2 K/9 and 1.86 K/BB rate are pretty good. With a fastball/curve combo, Jungmann's biggest issue has been his command, keeping his good (lo 90s) but not overpowering heater down. At 6'6", he has plenty of downward plane if he can spot it at the knees. The game is supposed to rain-free and begins at 7:05, carried by Root Sports and 93.7 The Fan.
