By Muntradamus

You Can see my Pitcher Rankings From yesterday by clicking here.

 

BEAST DOME NATION.

After winning my second seat in the Q, I hope you enjoy my content even more below.

 

CHRIS JOHNSON/DEREK NORRIS: Hit a total of three HRs, both were recommended in this weeks waiver wire article.

STEVE CISHEK: Is looking really good as the Marlins closer, could run away with job.

SANTIAGO CASILLA: Lost the closer job.  Romo and Affeldt will split opportunities.  Romo should win it eventually.

RYAN HOWARD: The player I am watching this week goes DEEP.

MATT WIETERS:  Hits 2 HRs to show why he is a top 5 catcher despite the slump.

MIGUEL CABRERA: Back-to-Back-to-BACK games with a HR.  Red Hot.

BRANDON PHILLIPS: Managed a sac fly in his return to the lineup.

EVAN LONGORIA: Managed a sac fly in his return to the lineup.

COLBY RASMUS: Hit a HR Tuesday, could be the start of something special.

ERIK AYBAR: Hit a HR in his first game back.

GIANCARLO STANTON: Nearly got a double to the wall in his first game back. Managed a sac fly in his return to the lineup.

REDS PITCHING: Losses more momentum not getting a W with Cueto on the mound.

TEXAS HITTING: Starting to come back to life.

DODGERS HITTING: Continues to do nothing against poor Rockie pitching.  Team is heading south at the moment.

 

 

Ask me any fantasy questions about players.

WASHINGTON MONEY LINE

NO way Gio Gonzalez losses this game on the road to a nothing Astros team.  The Astros have Armando Gallaraga taking the hill, and that could mean a lot of runs for the Nationals.
