At least, that's what wise men say. Thankfully for both you and I, I'm not one of those...wait, I mean...dammit, nevermind, you know what I mean. I think? Not good to start a recommendation blog off with trepidation but what can I say as I'm going for the unreliable narrator thing. I mean, it worked for Chuck Palahniuk and who doesn't love the anti-hero Tyler Durden? So while I splice some rated X films into your kids' movie, lemme tell you a little bit about Chris Rusin. Or better, yet let me tell you about his opponent, the Texas Rangers. Or better than better yet, let me start by saying this: it's a tourney only call. I know, I know, anything goes in tourneys but hear me out. The Rangers are an impressive offense overall so far this year, especially with how many projected them but there's one thing they haven't done well: hit left-handed pitching. For the year, the Rangers have K'd 22.9% of the time vs southpaws and just got sat down by Keuchel on Sunday as he went 7 and struck out 13 while only giving up 2 hits. Would I expect that from Rusin on Monday? Hells to the no, children, but I expect the opportunity for at least 5 to 6 innings and perhaps 7 punch outs. Given the low ownership he'll garner and the minimal price tag of $4,800, Chris opens the doors to flood your lineup with all of the best bats in the prime spots...ya know, like Colorado, where he's pitching. It's a gamble but it's not one without its merit and I'll be sure to be the fool that'll Rusin today. But enough about Elvis love songs, let's get a little more country.
