The night games that i'll be keeping an eye on are as follows:
Rays (1-1) vs. Blue Jays (1-1)
The Blue Jays evened up their series, placing both of these teams at .500. With the Blue Jays, the not so good is that Edwin Encarnacion & Brett Lawrie are a combined 0 for 15 over the first two games. The good is that my waiver wire pickup Sergio Santos converted his first save opportunity yesterday. The, I hope this doesn't haunt the Brewers in the future, the Blue Jays signed ex-Brewer Juan Francisco to a minor league deal.
I was surprised that the Francisco lost out on a roster spot to Lyle Overbay. Yes Francisco is not very good defensively and is inconsistent but I felt that he at least had more upside between these two players.
Mets (0-1) vs. Nationals (1-0)
On Monday, Bobby Parnell blew a save in the Mets eventual loss to the Nationals. Yesterday, there was even worse news as he was diagnosed with a partial tear of the medical collateral ligament in his right elbow (which I found out about on Yahoo!). Due to this uncertainty, he got dropped from my fantasy roster and replaced by his replacement Jose Valverde.
Giants (1-1) vs. Diamondbacks (1-3)
The Giants become the first team to be adversely impacted by the quirks of the new replay rules and it ended up being the difference in a 1-run loss. The Diamondbacks broke into the win column last night but are still looking up at three other teams in the NL West.
Angels (0-2) vs. Mariners (2-0)
The Mariners spent a lot of money in the hopes of contending in the AL West and so far, they are looking pretty sharp. Can they become the first AL Team to make it to 3-0?
