Our models give the Washington Nationals a slight edge in Game 4 -- which starts at 8:07 p.m. EST -- as we project them to win by a score of 4.26-4.15. The probable pitchers tonight are Patrick Corbin and Jose Urquidy.
Single-game contests are a different beast. You have $35,000 to fill out a five-man lineup. There are no positional requirements, but there are three utility spots, one All-Star slot, and an MVP position. The player you put in the MVP spot has his points multiplied by two while the All-Star position gets his points multiplied by 1.5. The three utility places are scored like normal.
Anthony Rendon, Nationals ($8,000)
Houston Astros righty Jose Urquidy showed some reverse-splits tendencies in his small MLB sample this season. Over 86 total righties faced, he allowed a .344 wOBA with a 20.9% strikeout rate. Against lefties, he gave up a .224 wOBA with a 27.2% strikeout rate. Enter Anthony Rendon, who tagged righties for a .411 wOBA, 45.4% hard-hit rate and 47.6% fly-ball rate in 2019.
