Since we have plenty of time, I'll try to share the process. This is the first thing, then check weather/pitchers and make a total. It starts with instinct for me, then actual work.

Quick notes and knee-jerk reactions.
Reds get a DH. All time IL Winning %: Red .443 NYY .603
Washington not as effective V.RHP (W/L) and Strasburg a ton of pitches.
Pirates 6 of next 9 games against Colorado. Rockies healthy (sort of). Jorge terrible on the road.
We like Dickey with the roof open. Better for knuckle ball. Yu more vulnerable on the road.
Which Trevor Bauer are we going to see. 6 straight 100+ pitch games.
Buccholz looked good at Houston. Royals limited exposure.
Bumgarner the public choice. Fish better v/LHP. Fish RL possible.
Santana regressing to the mean and Phillies always play Braves tough, even in Atlanta.
Feldman under value w/ability to keep the ball down. Q is getting back to good. Under worth a look.
Gibson just not backable right now. No consistency. Rays pen figured it out.
No chance of backing Cahill at home. Cubs or nothing coming.
Iwakuma might have the value, even on the road. First thought Mariners RL.
Have to think w/Tillman, Samardzija, bullpens, big park, it stays under.
Two weeks ago would San Diego be favored over anyone, even w/Kennedy.
