DATA DEPENDENT DAILY (MLB): Yu Darvish continues tormenting hitters.

Detroit Tigers’ Eric Haase and Chicago White Sox’s Yoan Moncada had productive evenings and shared top OPS honors. If you had to throw in a tie-breaker Haase had 2 HRs but struck out once. Moncada on the other hand had 2 base on balls. That said, the case could also be made for Flores, Regsnyder, and Madrigal having equally good, if not better, games.

Yu Darvish’s second act has continued with the San Diego Padres. He’s now 4-1 and is showing no signs of letting up. He threw 7 scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts. Walker Buhler had an equally impressive evening, though the gap in WHIP is pretty decent.

Washington Nationals’ Trea Turner edges out Chicago White Sox’s Jose Abreu for the best Tuesday hitter so far this season. But not by much. Picking either one for your fantasy squad isn’t a bad idea. Picking both is an even better one.
