| Rangers | 6 | 3 | 3 | at HOU (3), vs. SEA (3) |
- The Marlins, Diamondbacks, and Blue Jays all have 5 games this week. The Diamondbacks are hurt most by this scheduling as all 5 of their games are on the road away from Chase Field, arguably the most hitter-friendly ballpark.
- The Twins have 8 games next week, all in Minneapolis at Target Field. The Twins home ballpark is 5th in terms of ballpark factors for runs, and 7th for home runs so this is could be a strong offensive homestand for the Twinkies.
- The Baby Bombers go out on a west coast road trip to face the Angels and Oakland. Despite leaving the offensive-friendly confines of Yankee Stadium, both the Athletics and Angels still hit in very productive ballparks for hitters so this isn’t necessarily a downgrade for New York.
| AWAY TEAM | HOME TEAM | # GAMES | DH? | PLAYER(S) IMPACTED |
| Athletics | Marlins | 2 | NO | Ryon Healy, Trevor Plouffe |
| Phillies | Red Sox | 2 | YES | Howie Kendrick |
| Red Sox | Phillies | 2 | NO | Mitch Moreland, Hanley Ramirez |
| Diamondbacks | Tigers | 2 | YES | Chris Herrmann, Chris Iannetta |
| Dodgers | Indians | 3 | YES | Adrian Gonzalez |
| Royals | Giants | 2 | NO | Brandon Moss |
- There are a few interleague matchups in week 11. Ryon Healy likely won’t be impacted by the lack of a DH spot in Miami. Oakland could use a day to rest him or find a spot for him in the field. However, when the Red Sox travel to Philly and lose the DH Mitch Moreland and Hanley Ramirez could possibly trade off first base duties during the short two-game series.

- Clayton Kershaw edges out Stephen Strasburg as the top starting option in week 11. Kershaw has some tough road matchups against Cleveland and Cincinnati, but considering his elite-pitching prowess he’s the top option in a two-start week.
- Pineda almost fell outside the Top 30 largely because his home/road splits are so drastic. He boasts a 5.96 ERA on the road while opponents are hitting .302/.362/.567 against him. At Yankee Stadium he carries a 1.96 ERA while opposing hitters slash just .191/.232/.315 against the 28-year-old righty.
- Ervin Santana, fresh off an efficient 91-pitch complete game gets a tough home matchup in hitter-friendly Target Field against the hard-hitting Mariners. He still cracks the Top 50 largely because Seattle’s offense isn’t as good on the road, but they still pose a bit of a threat.

- Tyler Chatwood cracked the bottom of the secondary pitching group with a road start in Pittsburgh and a home start against one of the worst offenses in baseball, the San Francisco Giants. He’s done well enough in his last two starts to earn consideration as a two-start pitcher in week 11.
Player News
Anthony Santander left Wednesday’s game after a collision at first base.
Blue Jays manager John Schnieider said the move was precautionary, but also admitted that Santander has been dealing with right quad tightness for the past few days. Even if the injury isn’t major, it would seem plausible that the Blue Jays would give Santander a day or two off to manage the injury without exacerbating it.
Andrés Giménez was removed from Wednesday’s game against the Angels with right quad tightness.
It sounds like a precautionary measure. There should be an update on his status prior to Thursday’s series finale out in Los Angeles.
Kyren Paris hit a two-run homer in Wednesday’s win for the Angels over the Blue Jays.
That’s the first homer for Paris since April 9 when he went deep twice against Tampa Bay and caused everyone to lose all sense of rational thought. The 23-year-old did also single and walk to improve his on-base percentage to .311,, while the homer bumps his slugging mark to .378. There is long-term upside in Paris with flashes that suggest he can be a fantasy option. Fantasy managers should still absolutely looking elsewhere for options up the middle.
Jorge Soler hit a three-run double in the bottom of the ninth to give the Angels a 5-4 win over the Blue Jays on Wednesday.
Trent Grisham went 1-for-1 with a game-tying two-run home run in the eighth inning of a 4-3 win over the Padres on Wednesday.
While the Yankees won this game on a walk-off in the 10th inning, Grisham’s game-tying home run in the eighth was the biggest moment. He came on as a pinch-hitter for Jorbit Vibas against the usually stout Jason Adam and smashed a two-strike changeup into the right field seats. This clutch shot will only continue to push Grisham’s playing time in the right direction after he just started eight of the last 10 games, hit either first or second in each, and already has 10 homers in 31 games played this season.
Jeff Hoffman blew a save and picked up a loss Wednesday against the Angels.
