⏪ Game Week Rewind
Here is how the August Chase looks after two Game Weeks.
“La Loose Change” is in the lead and would win the $2,000 top prize if the contest were to end today.
However, there are still two more Game Weeks to go.

🔎 Multi Game Monitor
All teams play three games!
☔️ Rain Check
No weather issues this week! ☀️
⚾️ Pitching Primer
Tarik Skubal at CWS
Skubal against the White Sox is about as easy as it gets.
He’s 8th in K/9 (10.72) and 6th in xFIP (2.92).
Chicago is the worst team in the league and You could argue Skubal has been the best pitcher in the league this year.
Blake Snell at SEA
Snell is the certified hottest pitcher baseball right now.
He has at least 10 strikeouts in four of his last five games.
His K/9 is a whopping 11.96 and he will face the Mariners who strike out at the highest rate in the league (27.7%).
Whatever the over on his strikeout prop is, I would bet it.
Carlos Rodon vs COL
If you want a cheaper option this week, Rodon has been great in four of his last five games and draws the Rockies at home.
Colorado strikes out at the second-highest rate in baseball (26.2%) and they struggle to generate offense away from Coors Field.
He could be a worthwhile pickup for this week.
Other Starters Include:
Chris Sale vs WSH
Shota Imanaga at MIA
Zack Wheeler at KCR
Sonny Gray at MIN
Kevin Gausman vs LAA
Luis Castillo vs SFG
📞 Call To The Bullpen
All 30 teams play three games this week so there is no clear edge with any closers this week.
Our best bet is to start our studs who are projected to be in save situations.
That’s easier said than done, but I compiled a list here of some solid options.
Closer Options:
Emmanuel Clase - CLE
Raisel Iglesias - ATL
Clay Holmes - NYY
Robert Suarez - SDP
Ryan Helsley - STL
Alexis Diaz - CIN
💰 Stacks
Yankees
Aaron Judge should smash this week against two weak lefties and the rookie Blalock.
He’d be my favorite option by far, but even Stanton and Torres stand out from the right side.
The Rockies also have a weak bullpen so however many Yankees you have is not enough.
Tigers
Detroit has a weak offense but I think this could be a good place to find some value against these three righties from the White Sox.
Riley Greene is back and hit a homer in his last game.
I think Kerry Carpenter could be a great cheap play as well.
Diamondbacks
The Diamondbacks offense is a bit weaker without Christian Walker and Ketel Marte, but this has been one of the hottest offenses in baseball for several weeks.
They get a big ballpark upgrade here and Bello and Crawford are notorious for giving up homers.
Give me Corbin Carroll, Jake McCarthy, Joc Pederson, and Josh Bell here.
Other Stacks Include:
Reds, Braves, Astros, Blue Jays
