Welcome to In The Dugout.
Baseball handicapping with a twist.
In here we use the home plate umpire in handicapping each game.

---

Summary.
The umpire could be wrong for this game. Had they played yesterday then Gibson would have been the ump for today no questions asked.
With PPD games sometimes they skip over the ump or keep the schedule intact.
We have no pitcher / ump numbers to work with. But if you like a side or total in this game.
Just check the box score about 1 hour before the game starts to confirm the HP umpire.
You can find that at MLB.com
