It’s baseball Friday! The Nats’ Ace Max Scherzer will be on the mound and hopefully the game isn’t postponed. The Nats’ game is scheduled for 7:05 which provides ample time to swap players if needed.

Rain is possible in the East with the Dodgers at Nationals game having the highest chance for showers, while Cincinnati and Chicago also looking iffy for precipitation.

Whit Merrifield ($4600): The former Gamecock is batting is batting .407 against left-handed pitching this season with a 1.074 OPS the last seven games. Merrifield also has nine stolen bases on the year.

Matt Chapman ($3500): Chapman started the season strong and then petered out; however, the young A’ has quietly turned it on since hitting the road with a .360 BA and two home runs his last seven games.
