deGrom, Ray, and Bumgarner headline the pitchers today. The worry with deGrom is weather, but it’s a 15% chance, and 11 mph wind coming in. Dodgers’ players in Colorado against Tyler Anderson make a tasty stack.

East Coast – Rain, Rain, Rain… Miami at Pittsburg is postponed. Likely Delay/Rainout games are Chicago Cubs at Washington, and San Diego at Cincinnati. Possible Delay/Rainouts games are St. Louis at Detroit, and Philadelphia at New York Mets.

Vince Velasquez ($5100): Yes, Velasquez is going against Jacob deGrom, but the 11 mph wind coming in doesn’t happen only when deGrom pitches. The Mets’ .215 batting average at home is the worst in the MLB. Velasquez is inconsistent but capable of 6-7 K’s.

Chris Taylor ($4200): Taylor was in a slump, but a HR last night could be a good sign. The scene sets up nicely for Taylor who will be batting in Colorado, and facing Tyler Anderson who has given up 28 HRs this season.
