Slate Overview: While Stephen Strasburg may be the best arm on the slate, paying a premium for him tonight against the Braves IN Atlanta, means I likely cannot afford the Red Sox and instead, I think paying down for arms and focusing on bats is the way to attack this short 7 game slate.

Not only can you get full exposure to the Red Sox, but you have the ability for elite one-off bats like Anthony Rendon who will take his .342 ISO mark against LHP to the plate against lefty Max Fried in Atlanta.
