Las Vegas - Looked over the MLB board with a fine-tooth comb, and despite finding a few possibles, nothing really spoke to my wallet.

He'll face Josiah Gray who came up through the Dodgers' organization, but has had some issues in Washington. Can't really blame him because the Nationals are ATROCIOUS this season, losing 17 of the last 21.

However, the last three starts have been very strong, allowing just four earned runs over 18 innings for a 2.00 ERA. Colorado's Chad Kuhl is heading the other way.
