Slate Overview: The name of the game today is going to be how many Red Sox can you get in as Vegas is screaming at us to get as much exposure as we can against a terrible Orioles starting arm and bullpen.

Rather than pay down for arms in a mid-tier that have more risk than reward, I think you find ways to punt with your bats which allows you to get the best arms possible.

As a said earlier, Sundays are value days as teams will routinely give bench players a spot start and THAT is how we find this path today so keep an eye on the lineups as they are released and let those free squares fly.

It is good to be back baby – happy Sunday all!
