Needless to say, I did not win anybody any units last week. Went 1/5 on that Friday night. So maybe, just maybe, nobody else played along, and I was the only one to lose a unit or two.

Let’s turn the page to a new week and look at some of the interesting things going on in baseball tonight.


Cy Skenes vs. Blue Jays

With Zack Wheeler hitting the IL, the path is cleared for a Paul Skenes Cy Young award. It will be interesting to see what he manages tonight against the Blue Jays.

It started happening pretty early on; the aces would never project well at all against Toronto. Even when the Blue Jays weren’t hitting well, the strikeout projections would just come in so, so low that the overall fantasy point projection was surprisingly low on so many guys.
