From Pierre LeBrun While Anaheim GM Bob Murray said earlier this season he was not going to trade Jonas Hiller despite the fact hes an unrestricted free agent on July 1, some sources have told TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun that Murray might be willing to move another goalie.

Halladay signed a one-day contract with the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday that allowed the veteran right-hander to retire as a member of team with which he broke into the majors and spent the bulk of his distinguished 16-year career.Only one elite arm and no game in Coors opens the field quite a bit. There are several upper-level arms worth going for if you dont jump on the one superstar. Offense looks like a pick-and-choose kind of day with limited stack options.PitchingEliteI think?Noah Syndergaard isnt quite his best self right now, but you can barely tell from the results. He has a 2.35 ERA in his past 10 starts and just a 1.00 ERA in the past four. The 58 game score in his latest outing is the lowest in these last four (82, 74 and 66) -- and that 66 came against the very same Nats he will face on Tuesday. Hes not going as deep into games and none of his four double-digit strikeout games has come in the second half, but hes still a trustworthy superstar on the mound.SolidDanny Duffy, Jose Quintana?and Drew Pomeranz are a trio of lefties whove been major assets at various points throughout the season and could easily lead your lineup on Tuesday. Theyre all at home, theyre all skilled, and theyre all drawing favorable matchups despite how it may look initially. Duffy gets the As, Quintana gets the Indians, and Pomeranz gets the Orioles.At first glance, it appears Duffy draws the best of the bunch, but while Oakland does sit 25th in wRC+ against lefties, its actually Bostons Pomeranz against the Os who is most favorable. Theyre 27th in wRC+ and one of just six teams with a sub-.700 OPS against lefties (.686). Cleveland is 20th and Quintana has three solid outings against them this year (62, 57 and 51 game scores). Most will instantly pass over Pomeranz in favor of Duffy or Quintana, so the Boston lefty is your best shot at getting someone whos on fewer rosters if thats something you strive for with your lineup. He has also quietly gotten on track with the Red Sox over his past seven starts: 2.76 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 44 strikeouts in 42.3 innings.Ivan Nova has yet to log more than six strikeouts in any of his seven outings with Pittsburgh, but that hasnt kept him from averaging just over 20 points per start at DraftKings thanks to a 2.53 ERA and just two walks in those seven starts. He also has two complete games, averaging 31 points in them. He draws the Phillies, and while the game is in Philly (hes done his best work in PNC Park as a Pirate), their weak offense is enough to keep him firmly on the radar of usable arms. He could also spike some extra strikeouts as they sit sixth in the league against righties at 22.6 percent.I mentioned that Pomeranzs surge of late has been somewhat under the radar, but Marcus Stroman might be even more overlooked in his recent work. His 3.30 ERA over his past nine starts is hardly eye-popping, but 63 strikeouts and a 7.0 K-BB ratio in the 57.3 innings of work really stand out. Even at his best in previous years, he wasnt much of a strikeout guy, but hes run off four starts of at least eight strikeouts, including a career-high 13 in Houston on Aug 1. Houstons 23.9 percent strikeout rate is equal to Stromans Tuesday opponent, the Tampa Bay Rays. Oddly enough, his worst strikeout performance in his past seven starts came when he notched just three in Tampa Bay on Sept. 2. I expect more this time around.StreamersInitially we were led to believe the Dodgers would keep such a tight leash on Julio Urias innings that hed be out of the rotation by July, but the throngs of injuries suffered on the team changed the plan a bit. The fact that hes been really sharp hasnt hurt anything, either. The 19-year-old southpaw rejoined the rotation on Aug. 21 and has ripped off three straight gems: 66, 62 and 59 game scores with a 1.56 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 20 strikeouts and a 6.7 K-BB ratio in 17.3 innings. The real issue from a DFS standpoint is that he just doesnt go more than six innings. Thats where the innings cap flexes its muscle. Thats put the burden on his strikeouts and run prevention, but both have been up to the test. Id still prefer him as an SP2 as opposed to my only arm on FanDuel.Matt Boyd has been a big reason why the Tigers wont necessarily be in trouble without Jordan Zimmermann, who returned from the disabled list with a nightmare start and will be skipped this time around. Boyd, a 25-year-old lefty, returned to the majors on July 9 with a 6.44 ERA, but has since shaved it down to 3.89 thanks to a 2.56 ERA in 56.3 innings. He hasnt allowed more than 3 ER in any of 10 starts since returning, and hes logged att least six innings in four of his last five, including a 6 IP/3 ER outing against Minnesota with seven strikeouts.ddddddddddddHe also went six scoreless with seven strikeouts against the Twins on July 18.At this point, we all know what it looks like when Trevor Bauer is on. He can twirl a gem against the stiffest competition, but were also very familiar with the downside of Bauer. His game scores since the start of August give you an idea of the kind of volatility youre investing in if you choose to start him: 8 (yes, 8), 67, 48, 75, 41, 65, 64 and 33.Dan Straily is buried on the game score list, but only because the overwhelming majority of todays ?starters notch at least a 50 projected score. The Angels ripped Straily for seven runs a couple starts ago, but beyond that hes been awesome since the break, allowing three or fewer runs in the rest of his 11 starts en route to 3.13 second-half ERA. Dont sleep on him, even though the numbers like Milwaukees offense.AvoidEven if Dylan Bundy hadnt allowed five earned runs in three of his last five starts, I still wouldnt be starting him at Boston.I want to trust Robbie Ray, I really do ... I just dont, though. Hes been a strikeout beast this year (11.3 K/9), but he still allows way too much hard contact to find consistent success. His 36 percent hard contact rate is fourth-highest in the league.HittingOnly one team gets scores north of seven for both righties and lefties: the aforementioned Brewers against Dan Straily. Theyre not a bad offense, but Im a little surprised by the numbers as hes allowed just two earned runs against the Brewers in 12.3 IP in two starts this year. As highlighted above, hes been mostly great lately, too. Ryan Braun and Jonathan Villar are my only real considerations for this team. I just dont see it as a great stack opportunity despite the numbers.Lefties for Houston, Miami and Philadelphia are pumped up. Im ignoring the latter as I like Nova, and hes been a different pitcher with Pittsburgh. Houston gets homer-happy A.J. Griffin and his massive platoon split. Lefties have a 343-point OPS advantage against Griffin and 17 of his 24 homers allowed in just nine extra plate appearances. Unfortunately, the best Astros are right-handed, but Id look at some money-saving options, like Colby Rasmus and Jason Castro.Miami faces Matt Wisler, who has a 200-point career platoon split, but has it down to just 71 points this year. Hes opened September with back-to-back gems (75, 67 game scores), but thats after an 8.89 ERA in 26.3 August innings. The implosion potential is enough for me to look at Christian Yelich and Justin Bour, for sure, and maybe even Derek Dietrich as a money-saving option. Dietrich has just a .193/.287/.284 slash line in the second half after a .303/.396/.442 in the first half.Outside of Milwaukees 9, only two other teams draw even a 7 rating against righties for Tuesday, and theyre both in the same game: Colorado at Arizona. I already expressed my issues with Ray going for the D-backs, so Ive got Nolan Arenado and DJ LeMahieu high on my list of considerations along with one of the favorite platoon players in DFS: Ryan Raburn. The venerable lefty-killer has an .824 OPS against them, 190 points better than his mark against righties.Jorge de la Rosa is starting on the other side. He has a career split of 144 points favoring righties, but hes been equal opportunity this year, allowing an OPS north of .800 against both righties and lefties. Of course, that wont offer much additional value to the Diamondbacks as their best lefty bat,?Jake Lamb,?struggles too much against southpaws to consider. But Paul Goldschmidt, A.J. Pollock, Jean Segura, Welington Castillo?and Yasmany Tomas are all high on the list. Maybe this is the one stack potential on the board, negating what I said in the intro. Even if I dont go all the way in, I will definitely have a couple D-backs in my lineup.Most likely to go yard: Welington Castillo --?Beef smashes lefties (.936 OPS). Seven of his 13 homers have come against lefties in just 113 PAs (compared to 286 against righties).Most likely to swipe a bag: Trea Turner?--?His 23 second-half stolen bases are second only?to Billy Hamilton (36), and we know Syndergaards issues with SBs.
