We’re looking at some sketchy weather today, with Midwest games a major concern. Best to avoid the Cardinals-Cubs and Pirates-Reds tilts. Or plan to be flexible with rosters leading up to game time. 
Rougned Odor: I just made the case for Oder in this week’s column, and here’s the gist: Over the past month the second baseman has tallied five home runs, 10 RBI, 17 runs and four steals. The .282/.367/.518 slash line over that period looks a lot more like 2016 (.271/.296/.502) than 2017 (.204/.252/.397).
Nathan Eovaldi: The Rays righty was blown up for eight earned runs in Minnesota his final turn before the All-Star break but had allowed only two over three starts prior to that debacle. In fact, he has two one-hitters (over six and seven innings, respectively) in that span, each with nine strikeouts. Facing the Marlins at Tropicana is a solid gig.
