What Vegas Says

• Over/Under Total Runs – 8.5

• Favored Team – OAK -112

Pitcher Grind Down

• Home Jerome Williams has been on a tailspin since joining the rotation. OAK s slumping but I trust their bats far more than I trust him. OAK is batting .248 on the road, .245 versus right-handers, and .181 over the last 7 days. RG Start-Ability 3

• Away Bartolo Colon record speaks for itself in daily fantasy and you have to consider him on a multiple pitcher site today. LAA is a tough draw. They are batting .280 at home, .277 versus right-handers, and .238 over the last 7 days. RG Start-Ability 6

Batter Grind Down

• Home Pujols and Trout have good numbers versus Colon but I am avoiding these high priced bats until they start producing. RG Stack Rating 2

• Away I thin OAK bats get well in a hurry today. Josh Donaldson is 5-10 versus Williams and is playable either way. RG Stack Rating 5

	ARI vs L		ARI BvP			SFG vs R		SFG BvP

What Vegas Says

• Over/Under Total Runs – 7

• Favored Team – SFO -175

Pitcher Grind Down

• Home Madison Bumgarner should make quick work of this ARI team. They have not been batting well and he is a 2.72 pitcher at home on the year. ARI is batting .259 on the road, .253 versus left-handers, and .218 over the last 7 days. RG Start-Ability 8

• Away Randall Delgado has had an okay season so far but he is just a bad outing away from exposing himself. SFO has not been world beaters as of late but I think they get to him today. SFO is batting .270 at home, .263 versus right-handers, and .242 over the last 7 days. RG Start-Ability 4

Batter Grind Down

• Home Delgado WHIP is really high so consider everyone playable. I would trust the OU on this one however and not over do things RG Stack Rating 3

• Away If you are playing the fade then Aaron hill is 4-10 with 2 HRs versus Bumgarner. Goldshmidt, Gregorius, and Bloomiquist have positive BvPs as well. RG Stack Rating 2

BATTER SPLITS	Note: Batter Splits Below Open in Pop Up Window
	CHC vs R		CHC BvP			COL vs R		COL BvP

What Vegas Says

• Over/Under Total Runs – 10.5

• Favored Team – COL -160

Pitcher Grind Down

• Home Tyler Chatwood has been great on the year and CHC has been horrible on the road. I know it is a scary proposition but I actually like him at home today in a multiple pitcher format. CHC is batting .231 on the road, .247 versus right-handers, and .286 over the last 7 days. RG Start-Ability 5

• Away Edwin Jackson is overpriced when he has a good matchup He is taking the hill in COL today so you can pretty much forget about this has-been. COL is batting .282 at home, .270 versus right-handers, and .246 over the last 7 days. RG Start-Ability 4

Batter Grind Down

• Home COL as a team is batting .481 versus Jackson so consider everyone playable. This one could get real ugly, real fast. RG Stack Rating 8

• Away I would rather swallow hot coal then play anyone from CHC. They will be cheap and offer value today in COL if you are looking to round out your LU. RG Stack Rating

	BAL vs L		BAL BvP			TEX vs R		TEX BvP

What Vegas Says

• Over/Under Total Runs – 9.5

• Favored Team – TEX -128

Pitcher Grind Down

• Home Martin Perez is not good and he is facing the league’s second best offense. I do not care I he is the favorite. This one could get ugly. BAL is batting .271 on the road, .276 versus right-handers, and .275 over the last 7 days. RG Start-Ability 2

• Away I like taking pitchers facing TEX because TEX is not as good as people think they are. Chris Tillman has been fantastic on the year and he has the luxury of playing in front of one of the league’s best offenses. RG Start-Ability 6

Batter Grind Down

• Home If you like paying too much for average bats then take any TEX player you want. RG Stack Rating 4

• Away Fire away boys! RG Stack Rating 7

	NYY vs R		NYY BvP			BOS vs L		BOS BvP

What Vegas Says

• Over/Under Total Runs – 9

• Favored Team – BOS -135

Pitcher Grind Down

• Home I know the OU in this game is high but Ryan Dempster should have his way with this slumping NYY team. I expect a real big game from him today. NYY is batting .241 on the road, .247 versus right-hander, and .261 over the last 7 days. RG Start-Ability 7

• Away CC Sabathia is left-handed and he gets a BOS team that is the highest scoring in the league but is also a team that struggles versus left-handers. I love him as a GPP play even though he is not great on the road. BOS is batting .291 at home, .255 versus left-handers, and .228 over the last 7 days. RG Start-Ability 7

Batter Grind Down

• Home Jonny Gomes, Dustin Pedroia, and Mike Napoli should be on the top of your list of guys to target today. RG Stack Rating 3

• Away If you are going to play anyone from NYY then load up on the left-handed bats. RG Stack Rating 4
