The trade deadline looms.
We saw Trevor Bauer dealt late Tuesday in a 3-team deal with the Reds and Padres. Yasiel Puig also got moved in that trade.

We will find out.

PITCHERS
Vince Velasquez – vs. San Francisco – $7,700
Analysis: We nailed the pitchers last night, but the offenses just didn’t fit right. Velasquez gets the Giants today, who shit the bed against the ghost of Drew Smyly on Tuesday. Velasquez has strong strikeout upside here with a 9.88 K/9 vs. lefties and a 11.21 K/9 vs. righties. The Giants strikeout 20% of the time to righties and are in the bottom five in wOBA against them.
