WEATHER No issues and some great fall weather. [spacer height=”10px”] TODAY’S MATCHUPS Yesterday’s winners in BOLD Rays (Glasnow) at Guardians (McKenzie) Phillies (Nola) at Cardinals (Mikolas) Mariners (Ray) at Blue Jays (Gausman) Padres (Snell) at Mets (deGrom) [spacer height=”10px”] BEST OPTIONS Jacob deGrom … Yeah, I’ll bite here.  I am sticking with my feeling that the Mets will manage to get through this series and the one thing with deGrom is that he is highly unlikely to get the homer yips that Max had yesterday and I don’t see San Diego getting offense going outside of the long ball. Miles Mikolas … Mikolas is just as much of a dark horse as Gausman but the slightly preferred one.  Philly got their offense late thanks to mistakes by the Cardinals and putting together a big inning in a pressure spot.  Mikolas will have to give them a solid QS here today and I dont see why he wont. DARK HORSE Kevin Gausman … The Jays are going to win today, they will put up some offense against Ray and if Gausman can be good for just 5 innings he will no doubt destroy a cheap tag on DK.  I bet he is < 10% on FanDuel today too which is tempting. [spacer height=”10px”] CORE TEAMS Guardians … I have Cleveland winning again.  They are great at home and the lineup just is built for winning in the playoffs. Blue Jays … Jays on a home Saturday game in the playoffs and it’s an elimination game?  Lets just all enjoy the Vlad homer okay. Mets … Atmosphere and backs against the wall aside, Blake Snell is probably going to get to the 5th inning and have some bad flashbacks.  This is the Mets putting up some runs in the 6th/7th/8th. spacer height=”10px”] CATCHER Yadier Molina Christian Bethancourt [spacer height=”10px”] FIRST BASE Vladimir Guerrero Jr Paul Goldschmidt Rhys Hoskins [spacer height=”10px”] SECOND BASE Andres Gimenez Whit Merrifield [spacer height=”10px”] THIRD BASE Yandy Diaz Matt Chapman Eugenio Suarez [spacer height=”10px”] SHORTSTOP Francisco Lindor Wander Franco [spacer height=”10px”] OUTFIELD – Mt.
