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/STARLING MARTE: Hit a total of five HRs this week, all were recommended in this weeks waiver wire article.

RYAN HOWARD: The player I am watching this week goes DEEP.  Goes deep again Wednesday!

MATT WIETERS:  Hits 2 HRs Tuesday to show why he is a top 5 catcher despite the slump.  Comes back with 4 RBIs

GIANCARLO STANTON: Is back to being an ELITE player with two HRs.

PAUL KONERKO: Has a mild concussion, store him if you can may be out a week.

REDS PITCHING: This time the bullpen blows it.  The Reds need to start winning.

TEXAS HITTING: Starting to come back to life is what I said Tuesday, they score 10 runs Wednesday.

NICK MARKAKIS: Is really starting to heat up and prove why he is consistently a great 2nd half fantasy player.

DAN STRAILY: Should be kept in all keeper leagues, and given one more change in other formats.  Angels offense is not easy.

KENDRYS MORALES: Has his 2 HR game of the week.  Currently on a two week streak.

ZACK GREINKE: Already misses facing NL teams.

HEATH BELL: Could be the closer in Miami again soon.  They paid him the money, they want to see the job.

JIM HENDERSON: Is the new flavor of the week at the closer position. If you missed out on Greg Holland who I told you to add last week, Henderson will be the guy this week.

MANNY MACHADO: Is now the 3B option for the Orioles. Worth a look in keeper leagues, but will not help you this season.

GIO GONZALEZ: Was my first ELITE ranked pitcher in quite sometime yesterday, he did not disappoint with the CG.

 

 

Ask me any fantasy questions about players.

BALTIMORE MONEY LINE

Wei-Yin Chen has been a pitcher on a mission lately making every team look foolish out there.  The Royals offense is not hot enough all-around to touch him on this start.  Pitching for the Royals is Will Smith who has a terrible matchup against a very hot Orioles offense.  Being a lefty against all these right handed hitters will get ugly.
