Sunday, August 4th

Happy Sunday, Grinders! I am filling in for Allan today since he covered last weekend for me. Hopefully we can build on some nice success from last night, as many of the core plays were fantastic on Saturday. Both Nola and Buehler were great on the mound, Gibson was a solid value, the Twins continued to rake, and both core plays from the Coors Field game smacked home runs. Now, Arizona scoring an 18 spot against Stephen Strasburg was completely unexpected, but they were low owned enough that you didn’t really need them in order to win a GPP on Saturday.
