That San Diego/Atlanta game really screwed up the week for seasonal fantasy baseball leagues today. Since when do we have noon EST first pitch on a Monday in July? Ridiculous. But it's another reason why daily fantasy baseball is catching on so rapidly. Tonight we have a nine game slate to play with including some aces in real good spots.
As I've said 100 times in the past few weeks, Yu Darvish makes me nervous with his neck injury and the erratic nature of his strikeout totals lately (5, 12, 8, 6, 10) but is in a real good spot at home against the struggling Yankees bats. It's always good to have your starters playing at home and that is the case with three of the top four starting pitchers tonight.
With the smaller slate I am not real focused on tournaments this evening. Thus I am not stacking anyone tonight. If I were to (since I know that you'll ask) I would probably go with the Oakland A's or Colorado Rockies despite not being at Coors Field.
