The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Friday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Brooks has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 6.8 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Simeon struggles in that department as they've been averaging 7.6 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
