The Toronto Blue Jays stadium, the Rogers Centre, has actually allowed the most home runs per game this season at 1.597 HR/game. Bye, bye Coors chalk. Hello Rogers Centre chalk?

Does Baltimore‘s unique lineup scream value or trap? As always I will have sides of both but if I had to answer the question I’d say, Baltimore’s unique lineup means Cole is more so in play than less. While these names in the first four slots of this lineup are interesting, I’m not quite sure what the coach sees and why he’s doing it. Cisco typically bats ninth and I don’t see his skill set necessarily translating to success against Cole. Cole has been upgraded to an A+ grading in my book tonight, I will not fall for the Cisco, Santander trap.

Players that I’m now looking at due to their position in the lineup:

• Jorge Polanco

• Avisail Garcia

• Dominic Smith

• Anthony Santander

• Chance Sisco

Jay Bruce is now in Philly and he’s in the six hole tonight. Worth a look for sure. His game logs are impressive as of late, not to mention a 60 burger just two games back.

Clayton Kershaw is my favorite pitching play tonight by far! Why? I’ll tell you. Kershaw has gone under the radar (some what) so far this season. But averaging 37 FD points over his last two, he’s in the PERFECT spot tonight against San Fransisco. The Giants are batting a ridiculously low .153 in 158 at-bats against Kershaw. In these 158 at-bats, the Giants have struck out 54 times – roughly a 33% SO rate. Lock and load!

Mitch Haniger has a ruptured testicle and is on the 10 day DL. This was a major part of my Seattle stack today and is actually major news in terms of handicapping importance, Haniger’s absence is just the last minute factor I needed to consider an Angels win a virtual certainty. Encarnacion can not do this on his own. Lock in the Angels at -190. Look at that, some non DFS knowledge for ya.
