Would you rather watch a pitchers’ duel or a slugfest?

We’re back with another daily question, and today’s may be one of the more polarizing topics: would you rather watch a pitchers’ duel or a slugfest?

Pitchers’ duels are entertaining in that you’re watching to see who will break first. Slugfests are entertaining in that you’re watching to see who gets the last laugh at the plate.

In my opinion, a slugfest is more entertaining, but that isn’t to say I’d rather watch a slugfest. Slugfests are fun because odds are, you’re going to see a lot of homers and a lot of runs, which, as we’ve come to learn over the last couple of decades, MLB loves.

But I think I’d rather watch a pitchers’ duel.

Maybe I’m biased because of the long string of great pitchers we’ve seen come through Milwaukee, but I think there’s just something about two star pitchers going head-to-head and waiting for somebody to crack. Corbin Burnes, Brandon Woodruff, and Freddy Peralta have all had their share of ace-esque performances in recent years, and it isn’t uncommon to see the pitcher on the other side do the same.

Just think about the Paul Skenes-Jacob Misiorowski matchup from last summer, a game that turned into a Wednesday afternoon sellout at American Family Field and lived up to the hype — Miz went five shutout frames with eight strikeouts while Skenes scuffled a bit, allowing four runs over four innings in what ended up one of his worst outings of an NL Cy Young-winning year.

So, imagine this: You’re headed to Am Fam Field for a game. Would you rather see a pitchers’ duel or a slugfest?
