Our first Sunday in September and last one before the NFL season starts means time is running out on MLB ’21. Before I start getting sad, let’s look under the hood at the 10 Main Slate games and see where we can build from. SP Zach Davies $7400 feels like a sneaky cheap play against the 48-88 Pirates. Note the Cubbies are -141 to win, with an expected 5 mph wind blowing in from left at Wrigley. The 28-year-old has had an inconsistent season, but he’s allowed just seven runs in his last four starts. As for bats today, I’m looking at Toronto righties and Tampa lefties as stacks when possible.

Luis Patino, SP: $7900
In seven outings since the All-Star break, Patino has a 3.89 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 34:17 K:BB through 37 innings.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr, C/1B: $4500
Vlad’s last 7 games, 10 hits in 24 ab’s with 3 hr 6 rbi with a .417 ave and 1.253 ops.
Luke Voit, C/1B: $3300
Last season’s home-run leader is now a part-time player BUT if Voit is in the lineup today against lefty Keegan Akin, he’s a fine play. Note, he IS starting!
Brandon Lowe, 2B: $3400
Lowe’s has been streaky all season and his last 7 games have not been great but he went deep yesterday and faces a righty today, could be the makings of a hot run.
Jonathan Villar, 2B: $2800
Villar is slashing a dazzling .459/.500/.757 over his last 9 starts, a pace that should keep him near the top of the batting order as long as he remains locked in.
Mike Moustakas, 3B: $2300
Moustakas is batting 5th today and against a righty. Projected to score 11.7 fantasy pts, I expect him to outscore that and give us value.
Luis Urias, SS: $2400
This player continues to fly under the radar. His last 7 games he’s 9 for 22 with 2 hr 5 rbi with a .409 ave and 1.231 ops.
Marcus Semien, SS: $4100
Semien has a new career high with 34 homers on the season, eight of which have come in his last 17 games.
Teoscar Hernandez, OF: $3900
Hernandez has gone 5-for-17 during a five-game hitting streak, including homers in each of the last two contests.
Austin Meadows, OF: $3400
Meadows will be going against a righty after getting a rest yesterday, perfect timing to smash against Jax and the Twins today.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr, OF: $3300
Gurriel is enjoying playing against Oakland — he’s knocked a pair of homers and driven in eight in the last two games.
Aaron Judge, OF: $4400
Judge has been locked in lately, in his last 30 games he’s hit 8 hr 25 rbi with a .346 ave and 1.082 ops
