Let's get to today's interesting facts, using DraftKings prices. We'll cover the night slate of games, leaving out only Marlins-Mets (1:10 p.m. ET), Angels-A's (3:35) and Rangers-Mariners (3:40) from today's schedule.
Five Things to Watch:
1. Remember the preseason chatter about how new first base coach Davey Lopes would help the Nationals' base-stealing fortunes? It's happening, as the Nats are far ahead of last year's pace on the basepaths. Bryce Harper leads the way with three steals.
2. Yo, BvPers: Braves 1B Freddie Freeman ($4,100) is 12-for-31 with three home runs versus Stephen Strasburg ... Brewers C Jonathan Lucroy ($3,600) is 12-for-29 against Mike Leake ... Dodgers 2B Howie Kendrick ($3,700) is 10-for-18 against Rubby De La Rosa ... Pablo Sandoval ($3,700) is 14-for-39 with a couple of homers against Ubaldo Jimenez, so he might get a start.
3. Aside from Freeman, the Braves' lineup is terrible. Strasburg ($11,300) and the Nats are the night's biggest favorite at -230, with the Cubs and John Lackey ($8,300) not far behind at -210 in their home matchup with the Reds.
4. Indians OF Rajai Davis ($3,100) has a .347 career wOBA vs. LHP, and he's been leading off when he starts against them.
5. If you want to pay up for a hitter that's not playing at Coors Field, it's D-backs 1B Paul Goldschmidt ($5,300), who batted .364 with eight home runs, a 1.081 OPS and a .455 wOBA in 144 plate appearances vs. LHP last season. Good luck against him, Alex Wood.
