The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Tuesday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Tyler has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 7.3 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Cameron struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 7 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Tyler skirted past Cameron 2-1 in their previous matchup back in April of 2024. Will the Knights repeat their success, or do the Dragons have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
