Yonny Chirinos, TB vs TOR (37% Owned)
Chirinos is actually getting the start in this one. It will be his fifth start of the season. Although his walk rate has improved, his strikeout rate and HR/9 have worsened. Still, his ERA has improved to 3.20 from his 3.51 ERA last year. He’ll get the chance to keep rolling against the Toronto Blue Jays, who hit for an 85 wRC+ on the road and a 75 wRC+ against righties.

Bobby Witt, Jr. is a high school shortstop from Coffeyville, Texas, playing for Coffeyville Heritage High School. He has also played for the USA National Team and has played in both the Perfect Game All-American Game and the Under Armour All-American Game. He is the son of former major league pitcher Bobby Witt, who pitched for the Texas Rangers, Oakland Athletics, Florida Marlins, St. Louis Cardinals, Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Cleveland Indians, and Arizona Diamondbacks. He is currently committed to Oklahoma University.
FRANKIE MONTAS, SP OAK
(6-2) 2.40 ERA 1.13 WHIP 9.15 K/9 1.95 BB/9
Frankie Montas sounds like a pop star or a child actor. After an unsuccessful stint in show business, Montas decided to try his hand at baseball. And man, is it paying off. While none of this is remotely true, Frankie Montas has arrived and has taken the league by storm:
Mets fans have had it rough this year, to say the least. Opening up the year with a 7-3 start, the Kings of Queens felt like Doug Heffernan eating pizza.
Seth Johnson, RHP (Campbell)
Height: 6’1″
Weight: 196 lbs
Age: 20
2019 Stats (As of May 23rd, 2019)
59.1 IP, 3-3, 4.55 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, 28 BB / 76 SO
Two years ago, Seth Johnson was a shortstop at a junior college in North Carolina. Transferring to Campbell College for the 2019 season, Johnson piqued the interest of the coaching staff at Campbell as a pitcher. He quickly won the “Friday night” starting role, and is projected by many to be selected in the first two rounds of the 2019 MLB Draft.
Cody Bellinger is my early favorite for National League MVP, and here is why.
Logan Davidson, SS (Clemson)
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 185
Age: 21
Bats: Switch
Throws: Right
2018 Stats: .292/.408/.544, 15 HR, 46 RBI, 68 SO, 43 BB
2019 Stats: .296/.414/.588, 15 HR, 55 RBI, 55 SO, 43 BB
Logan Davidson was born December 26, 1997, in Charlotte, North Carolina. His father Mark played at Clemson in 1982 and played six years in the majors for the Twins and Astros. Mark earned a World Series ring with the Twins in 1987. Logan lettered all four years at a Providence High School while being an excellent two-way star. He led Providence to a state title his junior year while being great at the plate and on the mound, and was selected as an All-American and won the North Carolina Gatorade Player of the Year his senior season. During this season, Davidson batted .456 with eight home runs, 16 doubles, 42 runs scored, and 47 RBI, while also boasting a 10-0 record with two saves, a 1.28 ERA, and 75 strikeouts in 61 innings on the mound. Following this season, Davidson signed with Clemson and was also drafted in the 30th round by the Philadelphia Phillies, but elected to go to Clemson.
The Red Sox have surged in recent weeks, improving their record to 27-23.
However, it seems to be in no thanks to the leadoff guy Andrew Benintendi.
When you think of Dodgers pitching, you think of Clayton Kershaw and Walker Buehler.
When you ask any fan right now where the Sox weakness lies, it’s almost unanimously on the bullpen, more specifically

Joey Lucchesi, SD @ TOR (49% Owned)
Lucchesi has seemingly struggled this season compared to last, as his strikeout rate and his ERA have regressed. However, his walk rate and HR/9 have both decreased as well, leading to a lower FIP. His xFIP and SIERA both point to him being better than his ERA currently shows, making him an interesting pitcher going forward. He gets an interesting matchup here, going against a Toronto offense that has a 65 wRC+ at home and a 72 wRC+ against lefties.
