Fantasy Baseball Weekend Preview
Matchups to target
D-backs @ Engelen
Arizona should have many Baserunners against three starters who each have a whip of more than 1.37 and a bull pen with a 1.51 whip. Arizona knows what to do if they get runners on the base and are in 5th place in scored points. With links that start the first two games of the series, Lourdes Gurriel is Jr. (50%) The top player to be added.

Reds vs. Rockies
The Reds often have to score in their hitter-friendly home park against a Rockies staff that is the latter in baseball with a 5.66 ERA. Austin Hays (16%) should clean up in all three games and could really thrive against left -handed starters on Saturday and Sunday. He has a career .821 Ops in those matchups that include a 1,154 marking this season.
Brewers vs. Nationals
The Bewers must have their way against Shinnosuke Ogasawara, Mitchell Parker, Gift Cavalli and the worst bullparts of baseball. Leadoff Hitter Sal Frelick (42%) is an easy candidate to participate in fantasy schedules, while Righty batters Andrew Vaughn (5%) and Caleb Durbin (16%) are useful in deeper competitions, especially with links that start on Friday and Saturday.

Blue Jays @ Atletics
The Blue Jays can stay hot offensively when they visit Sutter Health Park, which has already become one of the most offensive-inducing parks in baseball. Their cause will be helped by being confronted with three non -impressing starters and a relief corps that is in 29th place in Era. The athletics starts on Saturday and Sunday Left, and Ernie Clement (29%) this year has thrive in those matchups (1,074 Ops). Davis Schneider (1%) is another legal batterter who stamps the left puree and plays well lately.
Matchups to avoid
Padres vs. Phillies
San Diego could have trouble scoring against three starters, each of whom has an ERA under 2.60. Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr. are the only must-start Padres. Before you ask, I have not forgotten to record Jackson Merrill.

Tigers vs. Mariners
The Tigers may not look like a team that is in 6th place in scored runs when they are confronted with three effective starters (Luis Castillo, George Kirby and Logan Gilbert) this weekend. Riley Greene is the only must-start tiger for this series.
Astros vs. Rangers
The astros hopefully often score against Jack Leiter (4.32 ERA) on Friday, because they are in Tough vs. in the following two days. Jacob Vegrom (2.29 ERA) and Nathan Eovaldi (1.62 ERA) (1.62 ERA) will be. With Jeremy Peña on the injured list, Jose Altuve and Isaac Paredes are the only attractive Astros.
Yankees vs. Cubs
Some players on the Yankees can have an excellent series against two left -handed starters, but this is bad news for Jasson Domínguez, Ben Rice and Trent Grisham. All three must be inlaid where possible.

Looking for Saves
Ronny Henriquez, Marlins, 38% toasted
Miami has improved lately and has placed a record of 18-9 since 10 June. The Marlins should continue to win games this weekend with perhaps the better starting pitcher in each of their three games in Baltimore. Henriquez came to the fore as the team closer and this season he has five victories and five saves, to join a 60:16 K: BB ratio.
Search
Evan Carter, Rangers, 18%
Although Carter is standing against a Lefty on Saturday, he has an excellent opportunity to steal a base in the other two games against the Astros, who have allowed the second most stealing this season. Carter has improved his aggressiveness on the Basepaths this year by wiping 11 bags in 120 perches. In shallow competitions, Cedric Mullins (54%) is a great option for Steals, because he is confronted with a Marlins team that is the easiest baseball to run against.
