Greinke did Greinkeish things all day, scattering six hits and walking one in his six innings of work and striking out six Nationals. I am a little shocked that the Dodgers are such a huge favorite given the opposing pitcher, Jordan Zimmermann.

If the Dodgers do qualify for the playoffs – and they extended their NL West lead to 3½ games Wednesday – they should probably hope the Nationals get in, too.
“I didn’t have any life on my pitches and my command wasn’t very good”, he said. The price is sky high and for that reason he may be under owned. Hernandez bobbled a ball hit by Bryce Harper with two outs in the third, but recovered and threw to first base in time to preserve the flawless game. That stretch helped him wipe out a miserable first half, including a June swoon when he hit just. He is 2-0 with a 1.89 ERA in three career starts at AT&T Park, while never allowing more than two earned runs and striking out seven in each of his three outings. 185 and 52 strikeouts in just 51.1 innings.
In 2013, Harper underwent surgery on his left knee to fix a bursa sac. And at the rate they’re going, by season’s end they may have cemented their names among baseball’s best pitching duos in history.
Eduardo Rodriguez, Boston Red Sox (FD $7900, DK $9900) – Rodriguez is not priced as a value on DK but his price on FD seems way to low considering the match-up. Zimmerman led off the inning with a double, and Desmond homered one batter later, driving a 1-0 Anderson pitch into the seats in left for a 2-0 Washington lead.
Yasiel Puig was the subject of some trade rumors last month when a report cited that the team had grown frustrated with his inconsistency along with his presence in the clubhouse. Washington is 7-22 in their last 29 games in Los Angeles. In his first at-bat against Ross, he flied out to center with two runners on in the second.
The series between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the St. Louis Cardinals could be another one you can’t afford to not watch for one reason, the pitchers duel between Gerrit Cole vs. Michael Wacha on Wednesday night. Ross has made seven starts so far this year and thrown a combined 45 innings, holding opponents to an average of just. The one big number that hopefully is better this game is the fact that he has only struck out 3 in those 12.2 innings.
Carl Crawford hit a three-run shot for the Dodgers in the ninth inning off Doug Fister for the first pinch-hit homer of his career. Buerhle has made 10 home starts in 2015 and over those 10 starts has allowed an average of. 282 on the road. “When you start looking around at the Mark Buehrle streaks, the Dan Harens, the guys that don’t go on the DL, the guys that are around for a long time, I have a lot of respect for those guys”.

It was nice to have some breathing room, and the two relievers used tonight looked extremely good. I would definitely think about DeShields, Andrus and Choo as they should be somewhere in this lineup as well. I might be willing to jump on the Lagaras train as well as he had a solid night in the lead-off spot last night. 167 in his first six games of August. “I do know he struggled there for somewhat bit”.
