e the No. 88 Chevy for Hendrick Mot Antworten

Saturday brings us another full slate, with four early games and 12 late. Fortunately, all of the big-name pitchers youll want to consider have evening start times, so you dont have to worry about limited DFS availability for any of the hurlers youll want to target. With that said, who exactly should you be targeting in your cash games and tournaments? Lets dive in and find out.PitchingEliteTop billing on Saturdays slate goes to Noah Syndergaard, who draws a home start against Philadelphia. Thor had been somewhat uninspiring over the past month, but he bounced back his most recent time out to throw eight shutout innings against the Giants. And now he finds himself in a highly appealing spot, facing a Phillies team thats one of the worst in baseball against right-handed pitching (84 wRC+) and is whiffing 23 percent of the time in the second half and 24 percent in August. Syndergaard hasnt fanned double-digit batters in a game since mid-June, but thats certainly in play in this matchup.Like Syndergaard, Carlos Carrasco entered his most recent start in a bit of a funk, as hed held a 6.23 ERA over his previous five outings. However, he rebounded by spinning eight shutout frames with nine Ks against Oakland on Monday. Hell look to carry that success into Saturdays outing against Texas. The Rangers might be one of the best teams in the AL, but theyve been below average against righty pitching this season, and the offense has really struggled in August (87 wRCt+). I prefer Syndergaard in cash games, but Carrasco is very much in play.David Prices 59 game score technically leaves him just short of the elite tier, but Im giving him the bump. His home matchup against Kansas City warrants it. Since the All-Star break, the Royals have been by far the worst offensive team in baseball, sporting a 74 wRC+. They do make more contact against left-handed pitching, but a 22 percent whiff rate in August leaves plenty of room for a strikeout upside. For his part, Price owns a 3.21 ERA since the break and is coming off one of his best starts of the season, a performance that included eight shutout innings and just two hits allowed against Tampa Bay.SolidDallas Keuchels up-and-down season makes him tough to trust in cash formats, but his home matchup against Tampa is too good to ignore. Not only are the Rays below average against lefty pitching, but they strike out a whopping 26 percent of the time versus southpaws. With a K/9 of 7.8, Keuchel isnt a huge strikeout guy, but this is easily a matchup where he could rack up eight or nine whiffs if hes on his game. Despite Keuchels struggles this year, hes been much more effective at home (3.74 ERA vs. 5.42 ERA on the road), and hes registered game scores north of 70 in two of his past three times out. This is a very intriguing GPP play.If youre not paying up for one of the elite on single-pitcher sites, itll be hard to do much better than Jameson Taillon, who gets a home start versus Milwaukee. The Brewers are decent against right-handers, but that shouldnt deter Tallion, who owns a 2.25 ERA and 0.92 WHIP over his past eight starts. And while the rookie doesnt miss a ton of bats, he whiffed a season-high eight batters against Houston his last time out, and he could easily match that against a Brewers team that strikes out 25 percent of the time.Jose Quintana rarely if ever cracks the top tier, but the stability he offers as a cash-game option shouldnt be understated. The southpaw has posted an ERA of 2.61 or lower in four of five months this season, and hes allowed more than two runs in a start just once in his past seven turns. Against a Mariners offense thats been middle-of-the-road in the second half, Quintana should once again be in the cash-game discussion.Michael Fulmer got roughed up by the Red Sox his most recent time out, but its probably fair to cut the rookie some slack against the best offense in baseball. Prior to that, however, hed posted three straight elite game scores in a row (63, 70, 95). On Saturday, he sets up well against an Angels team thats been rubbing two sticks together in August (86 wRC+). Fulmer should be in the SP2 discussion on multi-pitcher sites.Theres some risk with Blake Snell, who owns an ugly 5.5 BB/9 and is facing an Astros lineup that features plenty of power and hits lefties well. Of course, he also sports a 9.5 K/9, which gives him nice upside against a team that whiffs 23 percent of the time. Im not using Snell in cash games, but he certainly deserves consideration in tournaments.A road matchup against the Red Sox, who smash left-handed pitching, is reason enough to be hesitant with rostering Danny Duffy on Saturday. Then again, the southpaw has been virtually unhittable of late. His past five starts have seen him post a 1.18 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and nearly a strikeout per inning. Duffy makes for a fine play if youre looking to go contrarian.StreamersSince joining Baltimores starting rotation, Dylan Bundy owns a solid 3.56 ERA with 42 Ks in 43 innings. Heading to Yankee Stadium to face the Bronx Bombers would have once been a stay-away situation for a young hurler, but thats the case no longer. After all, the Yankees are one of the worst offensive teams in the American League. Bundy doesnt stand out on a day with so many quality options, though hes much more interesting if youre playing the afternoon slate only. Hes also a quality streaming option available in 42 percent of leagues.Ervin Santana draws an intimidating matchup as he and the Twins head to Toronto to face the Blue Jays. While the Rogers Centre is a hitters haven and the Blue Jays lineup contains plenty of thunder, the Jays have done little offensively in August (93 wRC+) while fanning 27 percent of the time. Thats an appealing spot for Santana, who owns a 2.08 ERA in the second half and is still available in 50 percent of leagues.One of the games top pitching prospects will make his first career start as Alex Reyes toes the rubber in Busch Stadium against the Oakland Athletics. Reyes has been biding time in the St. Louis Cardinals bullpen, and with Mike Leake diagnosed with shingles, Reyes got the nod. Hes been throwing multiple inning stints so hes more stretched out than most reliever, but dont expect more than five, maybe six frames. Still, that could put him in line for a win with Ross Detwiler on the hill for the visitors.HittingWith A.J. Griffin toeing the rubber for the Rangers on Saturday, left-handed Cleveland hitters need to be on your target list. The right-hander, after all, has allowed a .392 wOBA to lefty bats this season. Jason Kipnis, Tyler Naquin, Lonnie Chisenhall and switch-hitters Carlos Santana and Francisco Lindor are all in play.Also get some exposure to left-handed Cardinals hitters against Zach Neal. The righty owns a 7.23 road ERA this season, and hes allowed 18 runs, including five homers, in just 21 2/3 innings against lefty batters. Matt Carpenter and Brandon Moss are the obvious plays, while Kolten Wong and Jeremy Hazelbaker could be cost-effective options if theyre in the lineup.Zack Godley sports a 5.87 ERA as a starter this year, which includes a forgettable performance against the light-hitting Braves his past time out in which he surrendered seven runs in five innings of work. With the Reds in town, lefty hitters Joey Votto, Scott Schebler and switch-hitter Billy Hamilton are all on the map.Its not a Coors Field game, but Jorge de la Rosa has actually been worse on the road this year, sporting a 5.40 ERA away from Coors. The southpaw has had trouble with right-handed batters in his career, and the likes of Trea Turner, Jayson Werth, Wilson Ramos and Anthony Rendon will look to make him pay on Saturday.With a career .387 allowed to hitters on the left side of the plate, its a good time to roster left-handed Giants hitters against Mike Foltynewicz. Take a look at Denard Span, Brandon Belt and Brandon Crawford.The late insertion of Brett Oberholtzer into the Los Angeles Angels rotation, replacing Jhoulys Chacin, has the powerful Detroit Tigers licking their chops as the journeyman lefty has surrendered 13 homers in only 56 1/3 innings. Ian Kinsler, Miguel Cabrera, J.D. Martinez and Victor Martinez are in a great spot to pad their already impressive stat lines.Most likely to go yard: Carlos SantanaGriffin has difficulty with left-handed hitters, and switch-hitter Santana has blasted 24 of his 27 homers off righties this year. Looks like the perfect time for the Cleveland slugger to tee off again.Most likely to swipe a bag: Odubel HerreraSyndergaard is the top pitcher of the day, but hes also the worst at keeping runners close. Hes allowed 40 stolen bases this season, 16 more than any other pitcher. Herrera has notched 19 steals this season, and hell look to secure No. 20 here. Jonathon Simmons Jersey . The Dane followed up his first European Tour title last weekend with eight birdies and just a single dropped shot on Thursday for a one-stroke advantage over South Africas Allan Versfeld and Portugals Ricardo Santos. Jamel Artis Jersey . Kyle Denbrook, a soccer player from Saint Marys University, took the CIS male athlete of the week honour.

Khem Birch Jersey . The home side created most of the chances but struggled to break down Braunschweigs resilient defence, resulting in the Bundesligas 1,000th scoreless draw. Nikola Vucevic Jersey . The judges scored it 48-47, 48-47, 49-46 for Jones (19-1). It was the champions closest call. Despite the loss, it was a remarkable show by the confident Swedish challenger, who had the best of the early rounds and then hung on in the fourth and fifth. WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. -- Denny Hamlin wasnt about to get shoved aside again.Ignoring what he described as the worst pain he has ever felt in a race, Hamlin prevailed in a four-lap dash to the checkered flag Sunday to win the wreck-filled Sprint Cup race at newly paved Watkins Glen International.Its the first road course win of Hamlins Cup career and atoned for his stunning loss on the road course at Sonoma in June, when he was beaten by Tony Stewart with a bang on the last turn.Its very hard to win these races, Hamlin said. I only made one mistake at Sonoma, and I didnt win.Hamlin was virtually flawless at The Glen and was able to conserve enough fuel at the end, thanks to eight cautions for 20 laps. The race also had two red-flag stoppages for 30 minutes.We executed perfectly. Didnt make any mistakes on pit road, Hamlin said. Hoping for those caution laps that we needed. That allowed us to make it on fuel.That Hamlin was behind the wheel of the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota was in doubt before the race. He was in pain when he awoke.Knew I was in pretty big trouble, said Hamlin, who has undergone two knee surgeries in his career. I was thinking under the [last] red flag Lets get this over with so I can get out of this car.The race was shaping up as another duel between Brad Keselowski and Kyle Busch in the closing laps. But a rash of late cautions shuffled Busch back.Keselowski restarted with the lead with 25 laps to go in the 90-lap race, and Busch stalked him in second as the leaders began turning the fastest laps of the race around the 2.45-mile layout with the end in sight.The sixth caution flew on Lap 78 for a blown engine and erased a five-second lead the two leaders had built over Hamlin, Martin Truex Jr. and Joey Logano, who was seeking his second straight sweep of the Cup and Xfinity races at The Glen.Keselowski lost the lead on the restart when both he and Busch overdrove the first turn, a 90-degree downhill right-hander, and Hamlin sneaked past to take the lead before another caution flew.When I saw them move forward and lunge into the corner, I knew there was no way for them to get out with any sensible speed, Hamlin said. It was my opportunity.Hamlin held a slim lead over Truex and Keselowski as the three ran nose-to-tail entering the final turns of the race. Keselowski spun Truex in the last turn and Hamlin coasted to the victory.Logano finished second, and Keselowski, AJ Allmendinger, Stewart and Busch completed the top six.We got ourselves in positioon to win the race, but I didnt have the speed to make it happen, Logano said.ddddddddddddJeff Gordon drove the No. 88 Chevy for Hendrick Motorsports in relief of Dale Earnhardt Jr. for the third straight race and finished 14th in his 800th career start after an early accident. Earnhardt is recovering from a concussion and is expected to miss at least two more races.Buescher survives: Despite a pit road penalty and a late crash, Chris Buescher remained on the cusp of making the Chase for the Sprint Cup title after finishing 30th, one lap down. The surprise winner last week in the rain at Pocono came to Watkins Glen six points outside the top 30 in points, a requirement for making the postseason Chase, and now trails David Ragan by three points. Ragan also was involved in a crash and finished 33rd.You know, for us, kind of hoped wed get a lot more than what we did, Buescher said. Its a bummer the way it worked out.Infractions, infractions: NASCAR increased the number of timing lines on pit road at Watkins Glen from six to 14 this year, and it ended up costing a lot of drivers a lot of time. Of the 31 infractions handed out, seven were for speeding. A tire out of the pit box was costly for pole sitter Carl Edwards. He led the first 25 laps, suffered the penalty on his first pit stop, and finished 15th after getting spun in an altercation with Ragan and Clint Bowyer.The crash: There were two more crashes coming out of the sweeping carousel turn coming to the backstretch. The big one came when Ricky Stenhouse Jr. lost control of his No. 17 Ford coming out of the sweeping right-hander and skidded across the track. Jimmie Johnson slammed hard into Stenhouse, and Greg Biffle and Austin Dillon also were involved. Johnson finished last.That crowd: While most NASCAR venues dont attract the crowds they used to, Watkins Glen, with its fantastic finishes, remains an exception. The track announced its second straight grandstand sellout. Although attendance figures arent released, the crowd estimate was just under 100,000.Im sure the fans loved it, Logano said. It was pretty cool when I pulled over for the red flag in front of the grandstands and I could hear just fans screaming and yelling and loving it. I thought, Man, this is really cool to be in the drivers seat right now. Up next: Night race at Bristol on Aug. 20. Logano is the defending winner. ' ' '
