A pair of pitching prospects face one another in San Diego tonight as Tyler Lyons of the Cardinals will go against Burch Smith of the Padres. Smith has shown a good slider, but he has given up a lot of runs in two games to the Nationals and Rays. Lyons...

I certainly have not been shy about picking on the Phillies this year when putting together rosters for FanDuel. But just yesterday I said that any pitcher facing the Marlins is worth a look. So what happens tonight when the Phillies face the Marlins? I think it might be time to...

It is clear that anyone pitching against the Marlins is worth a look. Last night Brandon McCarthy, who had been struggling, pitched a complete game against them. The team has already been shut out 8 times this year in 42 games, a remarkable 19% of the time. In May, the...
