Sox are both in the top 10 for stolen base

<em>Last week: 8-5-1</em><em>Weeks 1 through 4: 31-29-2</em>Home teams shown in bold. Odds taken from Odds Shark.Pittsburgh (-3) vs. AtlantaBoth of these teams need this win pretty badly. A loss for the Falcons would drop them to 1-4 http://www.vikingsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-irv-smith-jr.-jersey , & a Steelers loss at home would drop them to 1-3-1. Both QBs should have big days, but the Falcons manage to steal one on the road.<em>Pick: Atlanta (+3)</em>Baltimore (-3) vs. Cleveland Baker Mayfield is going to continue to get better and better, but I have a hard time picking against the Baltimore here. The Ravens have one of the top defenses in the league and haven’t lost in Cleveland in five years.<em>Pick: Baltimore (-3)</em>New York Jets (-1) vs. DenverDenver is a different team on the road, and it’s time for Darnold to start getting things going again.<em>Pick: New York Jets (-1)</em>Green Bay (-1.5) vs. Detroit This game could go either way, but I’ll pick the team who is out looking for a little revenge. The Lions ran it up on the Packers in week 17 of last season, winning 35-11 in an ugly game. With Aaron Rodgers back, I’ll take Green Bay.<em>Pick: Green Bay (-1.5)</em>Kansas City (-3) vs. JacksonvilleWith this comment about Tyreek Hill, Jalen Ramsey has added fuel to what already was going to be an excellent game.<em>Pick: Jacksonville (+3)</em>Cincinnati (-6) vs. MiamiJoe Mixon should be back for the Bengals, and Miami is coming off a difficult blowout loss to the Pats.<em>Pick: Cincinnati (-6)</em>Carolina (-6.5) vs. New York GiantsThe state of the Giants right now is… interesting. They can’t protect the QB, so the Panthers should be able to get after Eli. They win this one with ease.<em>Pick: Carolina (-6.5)</em>Tennessee (-5.5) vs. BuffaloComing off an emotional win at home against the defending champs Alexander Mattison Jersey , the Titans struggle a bit against Buffalo. Josh Allen puts forth a solid performance in Buffalo and keeps it close.<em>Pick: Buffalo (+5.5)</em>Los Angeles Chargers (-5.5) vs. OaklandThis game will be like a home game for Oakland. Whether Raiders fans outnumber Chargers fans or not (they will), Philip Rivers loves playing against the silver & black.<em>Pick: Los Angeles Chargers (-5.5)</em>San Francisco (-3.5) vs. ArizonaIt’s time for Arizona to get in the win column.<em>Pick: Arizona (+3.5)</em>Los Angeles Rams (-7.5) vs. Seattle Having last played on Thursday night vs. Minnesota, the Rams are coming off a mini-bye week. I see no reason why they don’t keep it rolling here.<em>Pick: Los Angeles Rams (-7.5)</em>Philadelphia (-3) vs. MinnesotaKirk Cousins always plays well in Philadelphia, and the Eagles, as a whole, have yet to find their groove.<em>Pick: Minnesota (+3)</em>Houston (-3) vs. DallasDeshaun Watson will shine on the bright stage of Sunday Night Football.<em>Pick: Houston (-3)</em>New Orleans (-6) vs. WashingtonI still have questions about the Saints defense, and don’t sleep on Washington coming off a bye.<em>Pick: Washington (+6)</em>
PLAYERS TO PICK UP

MIKE SOROKA (SP, Atlanta Braves, 38 percent owned in Yahoo) – Soroka returned from the disabled list Wednesday, and despite being on a pitch limit http://www.vikingsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-dru-samia-jersey , he made the most of his return to the mound against the Mets. He allowed just one hit and one walk in 6.1 innings, while striking out four batters. He won’t ever be a huge strikeout pitcher, but he should be owned in the majority of leagues as a fourth starter.

WILLY ADAMES (SS, Tampa Bay Rays, 11 percent) – Adames will get every chance to earn the everyday shortstop role for the Rays. He has the upside to contribute across the board, and he should be owned in 12-team leagues with a middle infielder.

MIGUEL SANO (3B, Minnesota Twins, 81 percent) – Sano is owned widely but might be at his low as a fantasy asset. The Twins shocked the baseball world by sending him to Triple-A on Thursday, as he’s struggled to get it going after his 2017 All-Star season. If you have the patience and the room, now’s the time to buy low on Sano Daniel Jones Jersey , who has out-of-this-world potential.

TOM MURPHY (C, Colorado Rockies, 1 percent) – If a catcher has a pulse, fantasy owners should be interested. Chris Iannetta or Tony Wolters aren’t a threat, as they aren’t even hitting their weight. Murphy, meanwhile, was hitting .289 in Triple-A, and he just got the call to Colorado. He’s a power-hitting catcher with a pedigree, and that gives him a real chance to be a top 5 catcher in fantasy going forward if he gets everyday at-bats.

TWO-START PITCHERS TO STREAM

DYLAN COVEY (SP, Chicago White Sox Ed Oliver Jersey , 18 percent) – Covey has been a pleasant surprise for fantasy owners this season with his good strikeout rate, low walk rate and 2.29 ERA for the White Sox. There are better matchups out there than Cleveland and Oakland, but Covey should earn your trust in a two-start week.

MIKE MONTGOMERY (SP, Chicago Cubs, 17 percent) – Montgomery has filled in admirably for the injured Yu Darvish. He gives an added boost to those in points leagues, as he has relief pitcher eligibility. Montgomery is slated to start against the Dodgers and at the Reds next week.

JAIME BARRIA (SP, Los Angeles Angels, 27 percent) – With Shohei Ohtani out for the foreseeable future, Barria will get his shot to stick in the Angels rotation on a full-time basis.

HITTERS TO STREAM

BRIAN ANDERSON (3B, Miami Marlins http://www.billscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-cody-ford-jersey , 46 percent) – If Anderson were in any other market, he’d be more highly owned. Anderson and the Marlins get six games against the Giants and the Rockies on the road next week. He’s worth streaming and owning for the long run.

JAY BRUCE (OF, New York Mets, 34 percent) – The newly-signed three-year deal hasn’t quite worked out for Bruce or the Mets yet, but Coors Field could be the scenery he needs to get going.

DUSTIN FOWLER (OF, Oakland Athletics 4 percent) – In Oakland’s six games next week, only one is scheduled to be against a lefty, which benefits Fowler. The Padres and White Sox are both in the top 10 for stolen bases allowed by a team this year. Expect Fowler to get plenty of run.
