This article is part of our Weekly Hitter Rankings series.
The week begins with a busier than usual Monday, though every team should be in action on Labor Day. There is bonus baseball, though, with a doubleheader in Baltimore. The short Thursday schedule is also buoyed by a twin bill. All told, there are 95 games on the docket.
The Thursday doubleheader gives the Brewers and Giants eight games, though Milwaukee has a much more favorable schedule. Five of the Giants' contests are scheduled to be started by a southpaw, but most are members of the tough Dodgers rotation.
The Orioles and Yankees line up for a solid week with seven at home.
It's only six games, but the Rockies are home all week.
The Braves draw the short stick with just five games.
Please stop by Sunday night for the weekly update.
