Jarren Duran Sleeper Fantasy MLB Pick: More Than 1.5 Total Bases (1.79x)
The Braves are re-calling Bryce Elder today to make a start against the Boston Red Sox and that could be tough sledding for him. Meet Jarren Duran, who hits right-handed pitching extremely well. He has a .287 AVG with .179 ISO and .357 wOBA against them this year and Bryce Elder has gotten really lucky against lefties. The .153 ISO and .224 xISO don’t exactly align and neither does the .325 wOBA and .401 xwOBA. That probably has something to do with the .254 BABIP, but I don’t buy the 6% SwStr and 14% K-rate.
Juan Soto Sleeper Fantasy MLB Pick: More Than 1.5 Hits+Runs+RBI (1.61x)
Although things seem like they’re at DEFCON 1 levels for Juan Soto, they’re not. In fact, against left-handed pitching, he’s hitting .300 with an .861 OPS this season. His matchup against Carson Palmquist is a great one as lefties – albeit in a small sample – have a .267 ISO and .451 xISO and .489 wOBA and .517 xwOBA against him. Soto should continue to build on his last two days against a rookie pitcher that’s struggling.

Player News
Alec Bohm left Saturday’s game against the Padres with a bruised left rib cage.
Bohm exited the contest shortly after he was hit in the rib cage on a pitch from Yu Darvish. The Phillies will probably take extra precaution with the All-Star break beginning after Sunday, but there should be more information on his availability before that contest.
Nationals optioned RHP Shinnosuke Ogasawara to Triple-A Rochester.
Ogasawara is sent back to the minors a day after he allowed three runs in four innings against the Brewers. The 27-year-old will likely be back after the All-Star break, but a corresponding transaction to help the Washington bullpen will be announced before Sunday’s game against the Brew Crew.
Paul Skenes and Tarik Skubal will start the All-Star Game in Atlanta on Tuesday.
Well duh. Skubal and Skenes have easily been the best pitchers in baseball this year, and the only way they weren’t going to start the Summer Classic was if they weren’t available. They are, so they will. Skenes has an ERA of 2.01 and 131/30 K/BB ratio in his 121 innings, while Skubal has forged a 153/16 K/BB with a 2.23 ERA. Both pitchers will likely go one inning — possibly two — before giving way to the other deserving hurlers.
Andrew Vaughn delivered a pair of two-run doubles, including one that tied the game in the ninth, as the Brewers topped the Nationals 6-5 on Saturday.
Vaughn’s Brewers career couldn’t be off to a better start, as he’s driven in runs in all five games since debuting Monday. He had a total of eight doubles in 52 games this season before his two liners today. He would have scored the winning run, too, but the Brewers had Andruw Monasterio pinch-run for him before Caleb Durbin’s single (which would have been at least a double) ended it.
Making his second start since returning from shoulder surgery, Brandon Woodruff fanned 10 while allowing two runs in 4 1/3 innings Saturday against the Nationals.
The runs scored on solo homers from Daylen Lile and Brady House. Woodruff’s velocity was down some today from his more adrenaline-filled debut Sunday, but even as he was averaging 92.2 mph with his fastball, he generated 13 whiffs and a 33% CSW in the 81-pitch outing. He should be OK to use in mixed leagues next time out, assuming that he will be held back to the series in Seattle starting July 21. If he pitches in the first series back against the Dodgers, that’d be a tough start.
Shinnosuke Ogasawara lasted four innings and allowed three runs Saturday against the Brewers.
The Nationals know they’re not getting much more than this from Ogasawara, who is still working his way back from an oblique injury, but they didn’t really have anywhere else to turn after Michael Soroka went down. Ogasawara has a 9.45 ERA and has pitched 6 2/3 innings in his two starts for the club.
