What Vegas Says
- Over/Under Total Runs – 7
- Favored Team – CHC -122
Pitcher Grind Down
- Home I cannot remember the last time Jeff Samardzija had a good start. He posted a 4.20 ERA and .290 BAA in June and has a 6.85 ERA and .298 BAA so far here in July. Plus, his home ERA is a very high 5.46. He has GPP winning upside when he pitches well so he is always in play but I would like to see him pitch better before I jump on board. MIL is batting .250 on the .255 versus right-handers, and .239 over the last 7 days. RG Start-Ability 5
- Away Kyle Lohse numbers are same on the road as they are at home. He is having a solid year. Las Vegas has him listed as the underdog and his K/9 totals are a little too low but he is not a bad play in a GPP on a multiple pitcher site if you think he can get the win. CHC is batting .255 at home, .248 versus right-handers, and .223 over the last 7 days. RG Start-Ability 6
Batter Grind Down
- Home Nate schierholtz and Junior Lake have been hot for CHC. David DeJesus is 12-26 with 1 HR versus Lohse. RG Stack Rating 2
- Away Carlos Gomez has been out of this world hot with 40.25 fp over the last 7 days. Norichika Aoki is hot as well with 31.25 fp and is 5-10 versus Jeff. Jean Segura, Carlos Gomez, Caleb Gindi, Jonathan Lucroy and Aoki are all batting over .280 versus right-handers. RG Stack Rating 6

What Vegas Says
- Over/Under Total Runs – 8
- Favored Team – TEX -130
Pitcher Grind Down
- Home TEX season is saved. They got Matt Garza ! Obviously, I am being sarcastic. He did look good in his debut and no one is running away with AL West. They will need another strong performance from him today if they have a chance to make the postseason. LAA is batting .252 on the road, .276 versus right-handers, and .233 over the last 7 days. RG Start-Ability 6
- Away Jered Weaver ‘s last 2 starts have been fantastic. Both of those 2 starts were at home where he is a much better pitcher. His road ERA is 4.06 but I think he is pitching much better now and I fullly expect him to lower that number today. TEX is batting .265 at home, .260 versus right-handers, and .222 over the last 7 days RG Start-Ability 7
Batter Grind Down
- Home Elvis Andrus has been the hottest Ranger. He is 23-62 with 2 HRs versus Weaver. Mitch Moreland is 10-29 with 2 HRs as well. RG Stack Rating 3
- Away Howie Kendrick is 5-6 with 1 HR versus Garza. Alberto Callaspo is 4-9 with 1 HR. Mike Trout and Mark Trumbo have been hot for LAA. RG Stack Rating 3

What Vegas Says
- Over/Under Total Runs – 7.5
- Favored Team – OAK -158
Pitcher Grind Down
- Home A.J. Griffin has been very reliable on the year. He has been outstanding at home and draws a pretty easy opponent on the mound. My ony problem with him is that TOR come into the series hot. TOR is batting .243 on the road, .256 versus right-handers, and .293 over the last 7 days. RG Start-Ability 7
- Away Esmil Rodgers had a prettty good start last time out. If he is still super cheap on your site then he is worth a look but if his salary has gome up I do not think he gets enough Ks to play him today. OAK is batting .239 at home, .240 versus right-handers, and .244 over the last 7 days RG Start-Ability 4
Batter Grind Down
- Home Left-handers are batting .290 versus Rodgers. Brandon Moss and Josh Reddick look like the best plays here. RG Stack Rating 3
- Away Edwin Encarnacion, Jose Reyes, Jose bautista, Brett Lawrie have all been hot for TOR. Adam Lind, Jose Reyes and Melky Cabrera hit right-handers for a high average. RG Stack Rating

What Vegas Says
- Over/Under Total Runs – 7.5
- Favored Team – CIN -160
Pitcher Grind Down
- Home When you have .333 BAA and 1.88 WHIP, you are probably not going to be one of the best fantasy options. Those are Sean O’Sullivan ‘s numbers. There is absolutely no reason to consider him today versus a very tough CIN team. CIN is batting .256 at home, .253 versus right-handers, and .253 over the last 7 days. RG Start-Ability 2
- Away Mike Leake is a much better pitcher on the road this year with a 2.13 ERA. His K/9 total take a huge dip on the road to around 4.50. There is limited upside in the play but he is a near lock to get the win tonight and his stats should be helped by SDG pitchers’ park. RG Start-Ability 7
Batter Grind Down
- Home Yonder Alonso, Chase Headley and Carlos Quentin have been hot for SDG. Alonso is batting .294 versus right-handers on the year. RG Stack Rating 3
- Away Left-handers are batting .363 versus O’Sullivan so Votto, Bruce and Choo are your best options but everyone is playable. Jay Bruce is worth a look either way. He is super hot over the last 7 days with 37 fp. RG Stack Rating 9
