Several interesting starters today, CJ Wilson against Seattle looks like the top play. Will list a big name talented starter to avoid today as he could be in for a rough outing.

Yesterday was proof that no matter how good things look on paper, there is no matchup that is an absolute lock. Clayton Kershaw had every number in his favor going into his start vs. the Astros, yet he had a pedestrian effort and definitely didn’t pay off his high price. There looks to be quite a few solid options today both at the plate and on the mound. Here are the Saturday selections.

My apologies for anyone left scrambling to replace Jeff Keppinger yesterday, the injury was missed and it was a bad recommendation. Hopefully you got him out of your line up in time. The rest of the picks more than made up for it, Scherzer one upped his 10K potential to strike out 15 Pirates, Zack Greinke cruised past the Twins for an easy win with an insane amount of run support. 500 Clubber R...
