- They may have provided three of the four scores of the day, but MLB's Western Divisions did more harm than good in the Pick One.
- There were three sets of pairs selected with the first being for Seattle's Julio Rodriguez. Al and Scott swung and missed with the Mariners rookie who couldn't get any of his side's 10 hits against the Astros. It might be best for Al to lay off the "J's" for a bit as it was it his third straight selection of a player whose first name begins with J, all blanks.
- San Francisco was the home of the Last Man In once again as Joseph and Nate were left wanting from the now-sub .200 hitting Donovan Walton.
- The Giants also provided the last pair of picks in outfielder Luis Gonzalez. Buddy and Lenny each got a single from the 26 year old leadoff hitter.
- Matt handed Pittsburgh's Tucupita Marcano his overall Pick One debut and was handed back a hitless box score with two strikeouts against Detroit in return.
- We lost one double-digit hitting streak recently but gained a new one as Pavli hit 10 with Toronto's Bo Bichette netting him a pair of singles against the Royals.
- But in the end it was a tale of two Turners in Los Angeles. One was Colin's pick Justin Turner who had a couple of hard luck outs in a hitless night against Chicago.
- The other Turner was our daily top scorer, Trea Turner. Ryan continued to be the Pick One John McLane running through broken glass as Turner had himself cycle bread for dinner in victory including putting things out of reach with a ninth inning home run off of Jose Ruiz.
- Optimally, Philadelphia top prospect Bryson Stott fell a triple shy of the cycle in his club's 10-0 win over the Brewers replacing that needed three-bagger with a single for a total of 8 total bases.
