What Vegas Says
- Over/Under Total Runs – 7

Pitcher Grind Down
- Home Jered Weaver been pitching okay since coming back but it seems that LAA is treating him with caution and only allowing him to pitch 6 IP a start. Since his K/9 is also down, He offers very little upside. NYY is not a good road team and they are slumping. The OU is low and he is the favorite so you might want to consider him in a multiple pitcher format but know that you are capping the points your team can score if you do. NYY is batting .232 on the road, .240 versus right-handers, and .200 over the last 7 days. In Play
- Away You have to think that CC Sabathia is the wiser of the two choices at SP in this
game. Sure he is not a good road pitcher and just got hit hard in OAK but he has been a 1.23 pitcher in Angel Stadium over the last 3 years. LAA is batting .280 at home, .230 versus left-handers, and .286 over the last 7 days. In Play
Batter Grind Down
- Home Howie Kendrick is 9-19 versus CC. Mark Trumbo is 4-7 versus him as well. Mike Trout and Albert Pujols have been hot over the past week. Both Kendrick and Trout are batting over .300 versus right-handers.
- Away Robinson Cano is 9-24 off of Weaver. He is also batting .315 versus right-handers and has produced 22 fp over the last week. Lyle Overbay is 6-19 versus him as well. Brett Gardner, another lefty, is also hot with 20.75 fp over the past 7 days.

What Vegas Says
- Over/Under Total Runs – 7
- Favored Team – OAK -127
Pitcher Grind Down
- Home Bartolo Colon is having the best year of his career at age 40. With a 2.92 ERA and 1.09 WHIP he has been better than many of the aces that we call automatic plays. His K totals are low but they should get “juiced up” today from a SEA team that is 5th in the league in Ks. SEA is batting .228 on the road, .236 versus right-handers, and .218 over the last 7 days. Target
- Away Hisashi Iwakuma has been close to unhittable at home. He has been really good on the road also with a 2.70 ERA. OAK has been cold and he has held them to a .167 BAA vs him. OAK is batting .235 at home, .240 versus right-handers, and .206 over the last 7 days. In Play
Batter Grind Down
- Home Yoenis Cespedes is 3-9 with 2 HRs versus Iwakuma. CoCo Crisp and Jed Lowrie are batting over .300 versus right-handers.
- Away Raul Ibanez is 18-61 with 1 HR versus Colon. Kyle Seager, Nick Franklin, and Justin Smoak are all hitting right-handers well.

What Vegas Says
- Over/Under Total Runs – 8
- Favored Team – ARI -110
Pitcher Grind Down
- Home I am not sure what Vegas sees in Clayton Richard to keep this OU so low. He has been shelled everytime he has started and things do not look any better for him today versus a ARI team that has a .293 BAA versus him. ARI is batting .264 on the road, .246 versus left-handers, and .234 over the last 7 days. Avoid
- Away If I were Ian Kennedy I would not appeal but would gladly take my ten days away from giving up runs. He has been awful on the year and even worse on the road. Add to that the fact that he know has this issue looming over his head and I think I’ll just simply avoid the scenerio. SDG .244 at home, .248 versus right-handers, and .264 over the last 7 days. Avoid
Batter Grind Down
- Home That’s right I’m calling it. SDG stack 2 days in a row. I’m crazy like that. They got me 6 last night. They’ll get me 9 today. Chase Headly ‘s BvPs of 7-22 with 1 HR are playable either way.
- Away Do not worry about the mules. Just load the Wagon. Paul Goldschmidt looks extra tasty today versus a left-handed pitcher that he is 5-11 against.

What Vegas Says
- Over/Under Total Runs – 9.5
- Favored Team – COL -110
Pitcher Grind Down
- Both I think this game will go under but I cannot see the logic in gambling on either of these two starters when you have much options going today. Maybe take a flyer on Hamels if you are playing a ton of entries but I would rather focus my attention on better players. Avoid
Batter Grind Down
- Home Carlos Gonzalez continues his tear with 33.75 fp over the last week. Tyler Colvin is also hot with 28 fp. C GO hits lefties at a .319 clip so do not be scared to use him. He is 3-10 versus Hamels.
p. * Away Jhoulys Chacin has struggled at home with a 5.44 so consider everyone playable. Target the left-handed bats.

What Vegas Says
- Over/Under Total Runs – 7.5
- Favored Team – ATL -160
Pitcher Grind Down
- Home Julio Teheran has been very good at home this year with a 2.97 ERA. His K/9 is a little low, though and SFO has a .296 BAA as a team versus him. Las Vegas has faith in him to produce but SFO has recorded the fewest Ks in the league so I am not sure I like the play today against this hot team. SFO is batting .270 on the road, 268 versus right-handers, and .334 over the last 7 days. In Play
- Away Tim Lincecum has been bad on the year but sometimes in daily fantasy you have to throw out all the numbers and go with your gut. ATL is second in the league in Ks and has been slumping as of late. I think we see a vintage long haired Tim today. 8 IP, 7 Ks and 1 ER. Book it! ATL is batting .249 at home, .253 versus right-handers, and 234 over the last 7 days. In Play
Batter Grind Down
- Home I could be wrong about Tim so consider everyone playable. Brian McCann is 10-30 versus him with 1 HR.
- Away Hunter Pence has been out of this world hot producing almost 30.25 fp over the past 7 days. Buster Posey and Blanco are hot as well. Marco Scutaro is batting .334 versus right-handers.
