DAILY MATCHUPS: Lefties and strikeouts frame deep-pool Tuesday

Today's Overview/Schedule/Weather: The league fires on all cylinders on the final Tuesday in August. The pitcher pool is tilted toward a bit more depth and more options in the green. Keep an eye out for green on the radar as well: rain could impact LAA-PHI, CHW-BAL, HOU-BOS, and TEX-NYM.

 

Notable Starts:

Cole Ragans draws a Pittsburgh foe that exhibits little power versus left-handers (.135 ISO). Pittsburgh has struggled against pitchers of all stripes of late (.676 OPS last 11 games). The 25-year-old has had a big August, logging a 30% K%-BB% and a 2.66 xERA in 30 IP. Downgrade this rating a bit in formats not counting wins, but Ragans is worth riding in this match-up.

Pablo López owns a shaky 4.62 ERA at home, but that figure comes...

Almost!
