What Vegas Says

• Over/Under Total Runs – 7.5

• Favored Team – SDG -130

Pitcher Grind Down

• Home Edinson Volquez has shown his true colors in June with a 6.10 ERA and looks to be the same gas can we have come to know and love over the years. I say “Love” because we get to load up on bats against him. His home record is slightly better but I do not trust him today. RG Start-Ability 3

• Away I am having a hard time understanding his lines, because Tyler Chatwood has been fantastic on the year. Okay, it might be a little to early to jump on board the bandwagon of a player who has a career ERA of 4.49 and a WHIP of 1.60 but Chatwood’s 0.82 road ERA speaks for itself. He does not get enough Ks to use in a single pitcher format but I like him on a multiple pitcher site. RG Start-Ability 5

Batter Grind Down

• Home SDG has been producing as a team and owns a .400 BAA versus Chatwood so if you think I am wrong about Chatwood then they offer nice value at every spot. RG Stack Rating 6

• Away COL owns a .376 BAA versus Volquez. Carlos Gonzalez has a sick line but I doubt he plays. Consider everyone playable. RG Stack Rating 5

	BOS vs R		BOS BvP			SEA vs L		SEA BvP

What Vegas Says

• Over/Under Total Runs – 7

• Favored Team – SEA -110

Pitcher Grind Down

• Home Felix Hernandez is a beast at home. If anyone could gain the benefit of Boston’s high K rate, while avoiding the damage of their high powered offense it is him. A threat for a GPP winning performance every time takes the mound. RG Start-Ability 8

• Away Jon Lester is not as dominant but he has the much better draw in SEA. SEA gets their fair of Ks also so I have a feeling one of these 2 guys needs to be in your player pools today. RG Start-Ability 8

Batter Grind Down

• Home This game is headed to a low scoring affair. There is no need to get cute. RG Stack Rating 1

• Away Dustin Pedroia and Jacoby Ellsbury have positive BvPs versus Hernandez if you are playing the fade. RG Stack Rating 1

BATTER SPLITS	Note: Batter Splits Below Open in Pop Up Window
	NYM vs R		NYM BvP			SFG vs R		SFG BvP

What Vegas Says

• Over/Under Total Runs – 6.5

• Favored Team – NYM -120

Pitcher Grind Down

• Home Tim Lincecum has not been great at home but he has been almost good. He has a 4.15 home ERA but the most impressive stat is he has held opponents to a mere .209 average in AT&T Park. Plus, today he draws NYM who have yet to really click at the plate. RG Start-Ability 6

• Away Matt Harvey got pounded by Ari his last time out but he was the victim of a rain delay. There is really no reason not to take him. RG Start-Ability 9

Batter Grind Down

• Home No need to look to SFO today unless you like watching your players K. RG Stack Rating 1

• Away Daniel Murphy is 5-14 versus Lincecum. Justin Turner is 3-6 versus him as well. Josh Satin, Eric Young Jr., and Marlon Byrd have all been very hot for the Mets. RG Stack Rating 5
