Excluding the Washington Nationals, the chalk hitters mostly came up empty last night, but all was well if you rostered James Paxton, who smoked the Oakland Athletics for 16 strikeouts on his way to 73 FanDuel points. Of course, tonight we're only looking at four games on the main slate, and if you take a quick glance at the pitchers taking the mound, well, let's just say we shouldn't expect to see a repeat of that kind of performance. The flip side is hitters will be easier to find, with the Los Angeles Angels and Boston Red Sox leading the way. Note that there is rain in the forecast for the Twins-White Sox contest, so keep an eye on that one later in the day.
