Bullpen Usage
With Pressly finishing the game in 10 pitches and an off day tomorrow, seems like they would all be available.
Today’s Pitching Matchup
Big advantage Javier.
K Prop
Framber made me look like a genius and I’m taking the over again, this time 6.5 on Javier, who I project at 7.93.
Odds
Astros are -126 and I’m on that (if I could) given the huge advantage the Astros have in starting pitchers.
Projected Standings
Three-team log jam after Rangers.
May not mean anything note of the day
Mauricio Dubon and Cesar Salazar have the same fWAR (0.1). Dubon has a much higher bWAR (0.8), while Salazar’s is the same.
