4 years agoChicago White Sox left-handed pitcher Gio Gonzalez faces his former team, the Brewers, on Thursday in a tough matchup for those banking on the southpaw’s performance. Gonzalez excelled to the tune of a 3.20 ERA across 24 appearances for Milwaukee over the past two seasons, but in addition to facing a team that has a strong level of familiarity, he toes the rubber at one of the league’s premier hitter’s parks thus far in 2020. Eighth in adjusted run rate and sixth in home runs, Guaranteed Rate Field doesn’t portend to be kind to Gonzalez, who has had extreme difficult recording outs against right-handed hitters (.421/.522/.684) in the early part of the year. With power right-handed-hitting bats such as Keston Hiura and Avisail Garcia leading the heart of the Brewers’ order, owners may want to shy away from Gonzalez for the time being.--Jesse Borek
