We are back from the All-Star break and Manny Machado is a Dodger. Hopefully, George Springer found his swing in DC. Stephen Strasburg makes his return tonight against Atlanta. The Nat’s Ace is one of the top pitchers. The “Usual Studs” (Nolan Arenado, Francisco Lindor, Jose Altuve, Paul Goldschmidt) have their usual high price. If you like roller coasters, Nathan Eovaldi and Dylan Bundy are on the mounds tonight.
Weather shouldn’t delay or postpone any games. The Cardinals and Cubs could have some rain with 15 mph wind blowing out.
C.J. Cron ($3100): Cron’s .256 avg with 19 HR’s show’s he’s all or none. Odds are more towards “all” tonight as the Rays will face Miami’s Dan Straily. Cron has a .444 average for the last three matches against Miami, and a home run in two at-bats against Straily.
Gregory Polanco ($3300): Polanco is another all or none fantasy player. Thirteen of Polanco’s home runs are against right-handed pitchers. Coincidentally, Tyler Mahle has given up 13 home runs to left-handed batters. In three at-bats against Mahle, Polanco has a .667 average and one home run.
