Its a getaway Wednesday with four early games, including a 12:35 p.m. tilt in Cincinnati, so set your lineups early. The slate features some solid pitchers in very favorable spots which is great for DFS tournament play as that spreads out ownership. Theres even multiple hitting options to Coors Field. Heres what you need to navigate this wide-open docket.PitchingEliteDavid Price checks in with his highest projected Game Score of the season as the Boston Red Sox close out an interleague set in Petco Park. Part of the reason for the gaudy expectation is a solid post-break run fueled by a marked reduction in homers allowed. The lanky lefty is in a great spot to extend his personal five-game winning streak facing a San Diego Padres lineup that has been very weak against southpaws the past month as evidenced by a low .275 weighted on base average (wOBA) in tandem with a bloated 28 percent strikeout rate in that scenario. Price is the top DFS option for all formats.Carlos Carrasco has fanned at least eight hitters for six straight starts, including a rough outing where the Texas Rangers knocked him out after only four frames. The Cleveland Indians righty faces a similarly potent offense as the Houston Astros visit Progressive Field. As has been the case all season, the visitors productive yet strikeout prone offense render the opposing pitcher a risk for cash play but ideal for GPP action, especially if the pitcher is dominant, like Carrasco and his 9.5 K/9.Noah Syndergaard rounds out the elite tier, leading the New York Mets into the Great American Ball Park for a date with the Cincinnati Reds. Be it by design or just happenstance, Syndergaards strikeouts are down lately but hes going deeper into games. After not having tossed seven stanzas since July 3, Thor has done it his last three outings, with one lasting eight. A fourth lengthy outing will be more of a challenge than may be perceived as the hosts have hit right-handers to the tune of a .340 wOBA the past month while fanning at a below average clip in these conditions. In fact, if youre paying up for a cash anchor, the Price is right while Carrasco is a better option for GPPs.SolidYou know the expression not to judge a book by its cover? Well, many may intuit the Baltimore Orioles are to be feared with a lefty on the hill considering their bevy of slugging righty swingers. However, the truth is they carry a wOBA well below average against southpaws, which in fact is the lowest in that situation since the break. This puts Tampa Bays Drew Smyly in a good spot for DFS cash games along with being a GPP candidate. Aiding this is the contest will be played in run-suppressing Tropicana Field.The Los Angeles Dodgers are another club that is surprisingly poor with a lefty on the hill. Their wOBA versus lefties since the mid-season hiatus isnt quite as bad as the Orioles though for the past month, its been the worst in the game. Robbie Ray isnt complaining considering his last start was in Coors Field. The budding ace of the Arizona Diamondbacks takes the ball for the Snakes in a road affair, checking in as a solid candidate for all forms of DFS play.With a strong finish, Danny Duffy had a chance to garner some AL Cy Young award votes, and he still may. However, Duffys extended run of excellence hit a speed bump with tough matchups against the Red Sox and Tigers. The 27-year old southpaw has good a chance to get back on track facing a Minnesota Twins lineup thats mid-pack against left-handers since the All-Star break in terms of wOBA while fanning at a 24 percent pace in that span. Duffy also sets up nicely for all forms of DFS play.Pittsburgh Pirates rookie Jameson Taillon faces a St. Louis Cardinals team punching out at an elevated rate versus righties lately. The Bucs host the Redbirds in pitcher-friendly PNV Park, helping to mitigate some risk. Add Taillon to the growing list of GPP options aided by a favorable matchup.After seeing Stephen Strasburgs projected Game Score of 56, the temptation was to override and bump him up a few spots. However, upon reflection no change was made. The reason is two-fold. First, the Washington Nationals right-hander hasnt taken the hill since an August 17 thrashing in Coors Field, after which he missed time with a sore elbow. Second, he opposes an Atlanta Braves squad that is no longer a pushover, as theyve tattooed righties pretty well lately, recording a .341 wOBA versus righties in the second half. So long as Strasburg is toeing the rubber hes capable of a big game so call him a contrarian option on what lines up to be a slate with a bevy of favorable choices.Wow, Wednesday really is stacked. There are still five pitchers left in the solid tier and an argument can be made for each to be in a DFS lineup. In the interest of saving some bandwidth for the streaming section, Anthony DeSclafani at home against the Mets, Andrew Cashner in Marlins Park against the Phillies and Jose Quintana taking on the Tigers in the Windy City are all options that have the home field advantage and strikeout upside. Dylan Bundy in Tropicana Field and Marcus Stroman in the Bronx are viable contrarian options. If you would like deeper analysis on these games or anything pertinent to Wednesdays docket, please let me know in the comments or via Twitter to @ToddZola.StreamersMostly to keep his veteran starters fresh for the playoffs, Joe Maddon has opted to keep Mike Montgomery in what is now a six-man rotation. The southpaw hasnt dazzled as a starter but hes in play for those chasing strikeouts and wins as the Chicago Cubs challenge the Milwaukee Brewers in Miller Park.A pair of recently traded rookies square off in O. Co Coliseum with Alex Meyer taking the ball for the Los Angeles Angels against Jharel Cotton and the Oakland Athletics. Both are in play but risky. At least presently, Cotton is the better pitcher, but he faces a more potent offense than Meyer. Forced to choose, Cotton gets the nod, hoping the run-suppressing nature of the venue helps keep Mike Trout and Albert Pujols in the yard.Three walks in an outing may not seem like much but since Jeremy Hellickson hadnt issued more than two free passes since June 15, its worth noting he walked three in each of his last two appearances. Hes also surrendered a homer for three consecutive contests. His opponent, the Miami Marlins, are one of the least patient clubs in the game along with sporting a low home run rate. This sets up the Philadelphia Phillies righty for streaming in South Beach.Injuries have extended Anibal Sanchezs stay in the Detroit Tigers rotation. Hes been typically inconsistent but facing the middling Chicago White Sox, albeit in U.S. Cellular Field, Sanchez is an option.AvoidA quartet of arms fall in the automatic avoid range including New York Yankees Bryan Mitchell. The 25-year old right-hander has only tossed 21 innings so far, all on the farm, losing most of the season due to a fractured toe. Sometimes you can use the unfamiliarity factor advantageously, but facing the Toronto Blue Jays when theyre battling for first place is too risky.Joining the avoid tier are a couple of hurlers that barely register a projected Game Score above 45, which is our cutoff for automatic inclusion. Albert Suarez takes the hill in Coors Field while Doug Fister toes the rubber in Cleveland. Fister historically has issues with lefties and as will be detailed in a bit, the Tribe parade a bunch of left-handed and switch hitters to the dish.HittingAs cited earlier, the Cleveland Indians are especially potent against right-handers with only Mike Napoli and whoever catches hitting from the right side. Doug Fister doesnt miss many bats, which feeds into a deep batting order. Carlos Santana and Jason Kipnis lead things off with perhaps the most underrated player in the league, Francisco Lindor, sitting in the three-hole. Jose Ramirez, Lonnie Chisenhall, Coco Crisp and Tyler Naquin provide some lower priced options to complete a stack.The Indians were purposely listed first as a means to highlight them as the best swerve from the chalk that is Coors Field. Its another night with both teams in play. The right-handed unit of the visiting San Francisco Giants are in the spotlight against Jorge De La Rosa. Eduardo Nunez has been leading off against southpaws with Buster Posey and Hunter Pence the best power threats. The left-handed brethren of the home team stand out against Albert Suarez. Check to see if Charlie Blackmon is active as hes missed several games with back woes. The capable Raimel Tapia has been starting things off in his stead. Carlos Gonzalez, David Dahl, Gerardo Parra and Daniel Descalso round out the top targets.The Chicago Cubs visit Miller Park where power for lefties is among the best in the league. Matt Garza has done a nice job keeping the ball in the yard but that shouldnt stop Anthony Rizzo. While they arent the power threat of their first base teammate, Dexter Fowler, Ben Zobrist and Jason Heyward are set up to take advantage of Garzas penchant for allowing baserunners.As Edwin Jackson demonstrated Monday, the powerful Boston Red Sox offense can be held in check. This is not to say expect a solid effort from Jarred Cosart, only to suggest some exposure to Red Sox as opposed to all your beans in the Boston basket. Cosart displays reverse splits so everyone is in play.Most likely to hit a homer: Kyle SeagerI cant promise three long balls like Mondays Brian Dozier call, but the chances either Robinson Cano or Seager take A.J. Griffin deep are pretty good. Lets give Seager the nod if only to point out hes putting it all together this season, with an outside shot at .300 with 30 homers, which would still lag behind what little brother Corey is doing.Most likely to steal a base: Jose PerazaSyndergaards inability to control the running game is well-documented. Normally this would put Billy Hamilton front and center but hes slowed with injury so instead, look for his teammate Peraza to take advantage. Patrick Mahomes Womens Jersey . Takahashi, who had a 10-point lead after the short program, received 268.31 points after the free skate to finish 15 points ahead of second-place Nobunari Oda. Tony Gonzalez Chiefs Jersey . Now that hes hitting streaking teammates with pin-point passes for easy layups, Love is asserting himself as one of the true superstars in the league. http://www.prochiefsauthentic.com/Youth-Len-Dawson-Elite-Jersey/ . U.S. District Judge Lorna G. Schofield in Manhattan agreed that lawyers on both sides could make their formal requests by Nov. 8. A hearing is scheduled for a day earlier. Jordan Siev, a lawyer for Rodriguez, wrote in a joint letter to the judge from lawyers on both sides that MLB lawyers planned to ask that the lawsuit be dismissed. Juan Thornhill Womens Jersey .Y. -- Marcell Dareus and the Buffalo Bills defence made life miserable for Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco. Patrick Mahomes Chiefs Jersey . In what the team had called a retirement, Ryan said Thursday that he is resigning as chief executive of the Rangers in a move effective at the end of this month. BOULDER, Colo. -- Mike MacIntyre has a reputation as a turnaround artist. Give him a program, any program, and he will transform it.Colorado, though, had the looks of being the sort of program that not even MacIntyre could fix.After three years that resulted in a grand total of 10 victories, MacIntyre led the 10th-ranked Buffaloes (No. 11 AP) to a 10-win season and a spot in the Pac-12 championship game, and even the fringes of the national title conversation for a week or two. Colorado also will make its first bowl appearance since 2007.For that, MacIntyre is The Associated Press college football Coach of the Year. He received 109 points and 25 first-place votes from the AP college football poll panel.?Penn States James Franklin was second with 98 and 16, and?Alabamas Nick Saban was third with 57 and 13.We played a lot of young guys, and they worked hard and got better, said MacIntyre, who became the first Colorado coach to win the award since it began in 1998. They grew into their talent and kept right on going.To comprehend just how far Colorado has come, its important to know where the Buffaloes were before MacIntyre arrived. In 2012, they led the nation in games started by true freshmen, were outscored by 552-214 and lost a school-high 11 games that ultimately cost coach Jon Embree his job.MacIntyre realized he was inheriting a program that had fallen on hard times. But the depths of that decline caught him off guard.Overall, to be able to compete, to be in the Pac-12 championship game, we werent very close, MacIntyre said.MacIntyre gradually revamped the program -- just like he did at San Jose State when he inherited a 2-10 squad and in three seasons turned the Spartans into a double-digit win team.All he needed was time and a chance to develop his talent. After going 2-25 in conference games over his first three seasons at Colorado, some publications listed him on the hot seat heading into the season.Now he is one of the hottest coaches in the business.Its been remarkable, whats occurred this season, said former Colorado coach Gary Barnett, who is now a radio analyst for Buffs football games. Theyve acted like theyve been there before, acted like a mature team thats used to winning. They have this resiliency to find a way to win, every single game theyve been inn.ddddddddddddThe Rise -- as Colorado has labeled it -- has been no surprise to MacIntyres players. They bought in from the beginning. Take junior running back Phillip Lindsay. He was recruited by the previous regime and didnt know if his scholarship would still be honored after suffering a serious knee injury in high school.MacIntyre visited him and assured Lindsay that one day he would play a role in leading this team back to prominence. Lindsay rushed for 1,189 yards and 16 scores this season. He wont forget that trust from MacIntyre.He believed. His teammates believed -- even as the Buffaloes struggled.Rome wasnt built in one day. He just needed time to build a program, Lindsay said. Hes a big reason we are where we are today.And thats a program trending in the right direction -- with big crowds showing up again at Folsom Field. The Buffaloes appeared in their first conference title game, losing 41-10 to No. 4 Washington, since 2005, when they were in the Big 12. They are also heading to the Valero Alamo Bowl against Oklahoma State with a chance to become just the fourth team in school history to win 11 games.Weve been making steps. Some of them were baby steps, but we were moving forward, said MacIntyre, whose late father, George MacIntyre, was the coach at Vanderbilt from 1979 to 1985. We werent going backward at all.Upgrades to the athletic facilities, including a new indoor practice field, helped. Recently, MacIntyre took the team over to their old digs, just as a reminder of how far they have come.Those young freshmen were like, Whats this? MacIntyre recounted. You cant kick it high. The lights are weird. But this is what it was for us all the time.There might be some times we go back down there and do some morning drills like we used to and make them realize how nice weve got it.MacIntyre has always been an emotional coach. After a win at Oregon, MacIntyre hugged his son Jay, a sophomore receiver, as he wiped away tears. His players appreciate that side of him.A lot of ups and downs, a lot of heartbreaks, a lot of happy times, a lot of crying over the years, Lindsay said. We are a figure of him. Now youre seeing the final product. ' ' '
