An afternoon start at Wrigley leaves us with a 14-gamer on Tuesday. There will be three consecutive afternoon starts at Wrigley this week and another on Friday so that does not enable us to use those big boppers in the Cubs lineup to pick on two weak pitching staffs in the Reds and Braves. That’s A-okay though as the Consensus offers plenty today in the way of options with the exception of shortstop. The shortstop position only offered one player (Bogaerts) who was picked a minimum of three times so I’ve included those picked twice to the Consensus today. Let’s get to it!
