Johnny Cueto Cin
Anthony Reyes Cle
Jorge Campillo Atl
Joe Blanton Phi
Braden Looper StL
Dana Eveland Oak

Young is probably a decent bet to finish strong.

Snell has had a couple of nice outings lately, as has Reyes. Kershaw is the high risk, high potential reward pick.

Also, drop venture and pick up juncture

It's Carl Spackler, pretty sure it's shtick. Even if it isn't, it is.

OK, keep venture then but don't be surprised if juncture has a good September.

Volstad has been pretty solid. Litch is good for W or two and good averages but will not get you many K's.

Jeff Francis has been pitching well lately (six quality starts in a row) and is penciled in for San Diego and San Francisco to close the season. Is he available?

If Kershaw's pitching at home he's a good option, Chris Young too.

Snell's been better lately but I struggle to trust him, he dealt against STL last time out though and has them tomorrow. I streamed him in my H2H playoffs.

Mad Max has the highest upside of all of them.

Volstad got hurt in his last outing, I'd hold off on adding him until I hear an update on his status.
