Pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez has had a tough season, and it won’t get any easier for the Red Sox in Atlanta with a left-handed lineup that includes the versatile Ozzie Albies. In the Lone Star State, the Rangers and Astros square off, and though the matchup appears one-sided, the road-kill Rangers have taken three straight from the 'Stros, and Lance McCullers Jr. is likely to be on a pitch count.

Plus the guys throw out a few names to watch for player props and DFS.

It’s June, and baseball’s in full swing.
