The Milwaukee Brewers enter what could potentially be a really weird series to start their 9-game, cross-country road trip — and not just because these late-night west coast games tend to lead to weird results on the field.
With the trade deadline happening right in the middle of the series, there’s a good chance the team that leaves Oakland looks nothing like the team that enters it. That’s led to a lot of confusion over simple things like “who is starting any of these games” — although we now at least know Adrian Houser will be the first pitcher on the mound for the Brewers tonight.
