I am still surprised on what the Astros have served up to us this year.  They are 7 – 17 and on the verge of being blasted out of their season.  It is this reason why I will stack this club against Rich Hill.

1st off…It is hard to sweep clubs, and teams that have the 1st 2 games of a weekend series tend to slack a little in the history of this game.

I also can’t fathom Rich Hill pitching like a CY Young winner all year as well.  Give me Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa and Evan Gattis as the Catcher option (he may DH, but is a great chance for the slot to use, and at $2700 he is a bargain.)

For this very theme I will pick Doug Fister as my Starter.  He is value priced at $6700, and I can’t see a better park to use the light throwing chucker.

To keep some payroll for another stack with the Detroit Tigers, I have implored Brandon Drury in my lineup for $2700.  This continues to be play every day right now, and he has performed well.

Justin Upton tends to bunch his HRs together, so I added him and Miguel Cabrera to the docket on Sunday.

If Miggy doesn’t end up playing, I would also not mind playing Chris Carter – as well (plus could then switch Drury for Nick Castellanos), as I am going to use Ryan Braun in the OF.

Weather plays a big factor, as does Sunday lineups, so watch for all.
