Saturday brings us a fine slate, with worthwhile options in every tier, including multiple aces at the top and a marquee matchup with two of the NLs best squaring off. So what are we waiting for? Lets get to it.PitchingEliteIt always complicates things when the top pitcher of the day finds himself in an unappealing matchup, but thats the case on Saturday, with Jose Fernandez heading to Cleveland to take on the Indians. Not only does the right-hander have to face DH instead of a pitcher, but hell be tasked with shutting down an above average lineup thats out-produced every other AL team since the All-Star break (109 wRC+). He also hasnt fared nearly as well on the road this year (4.02 road ERA vs 1.91 home ERA). On the other hand, Fernandez is the top-ranked pitcher for a reason. His strikeout potential is unmatched, and hes allowed one or zero runs three of his past four turns. Still, while Fernandez is always a tough guy to fade, hes far from a must-play in this spot.The marquee matchup of the day is Giants versus Cubs at Wrigley Field, with Madison Bumgarner and Jake Arrieta pitted against each other. Neither matchup is favorable. Bumgarner gets a Cubs team that smashes lefties (117 wRC+), while Arrieta gets a Giants lineup that draws plenty of walks and rarely strikes out. Between the two, Bumgarner makes for the more appealing tournament option, as the Cub strike out a lot more than the Giants. However, Im not sure Im willing to pay the premium to roster either in cash games.Rich Hill and his well-publicized blister issues are slated to make his second start in Dodger Blue on Saturday. The veteran lefty lucked into a great spot. as the San Diego Padres are in town for a weekend set with their SoCal rivals. Theres risk of an early blister-induced exit, so its better to use Hill in tournament play.SolidTanner Roarks has been one of baseballs most consistent starters. Through the seasons first five months, his ERA has been 3.56 or lower in each month. He also owns a 2.61 ERA since the All-Star break. A matchup against the Mets, who are below average against righty pitching and whiff 22 percent of the time, has Roark in another fine spot on Saturday. The ceiling is limited here because he doesnt miss many bats, but his high floor makes him a great cash-game option if youre not paying up.In terms of having a low ceiling but also a high floor, Rick Porcello is similar to Roark. Dating back to June 28, the Boston right-hander has allowed more than three earned runs in a game only once. His success should continue against an Oakland team that poses very little threat to right-handed pitchers (89 wRC+).A 5.76 second-half ERA will have most DFS players shying away from Vince Velasquez on Saturday. And that might be the right play. That said, the right-hander is still whiffing 10.5 batters per nine innings, and he gets a home start against a Braves lineup thats one of the most exploitable in baseball. Theres some tournament appeal here.Last time out, Marco Estrada snapped a three-start streak of failing to toss more than five frames with a seven-inning stint in Baltimore. Today hes in a great spot to make it two consecutive strong efforts with another road contest, this time in St. Petersburg. In fact, the strikeout-prone Tampa Bay Rays lend Estrada the upside to be a DFS tournament option.StreamersAvailable in 60 percent of ESPN.com leagues, Kevin Gausman draws a home start against the Yankees. The Yankees offense has been hot of late, but theyve still been a below average offense against righties this season. For his part, Gausman sports a 3.04 ERA and 9.8 K/9 in the second half. In fact, his last start came against the Yankees, and he twirled seven shutout innings with nine whiffs.After holding a 3.48 combined ERA in April and May, Jaime Garcia has put up an ugly 5.09 ERA since. So, it should go without saying that theres plenty of risk here. Still, his matchup against Cincinnati is extremely favorable. Not only are the Reds one of the worst teams in baseball against lefty pitching (89 wRC+), but they strike out a ton, too (23 percent). If youre seeking a cheap GPP play, this is it.AvoidBlake Snells strikeout upside is appealing, but his 5.3 walk rate curbs the excitement. Add in a matchup against the Blue Jays, who pummel left-handed pitching, and this is a situation to avoid on Saturday.Taijuan Walker has done some good things this year, but hes given up 13 earned runs in 17 innings over his past three starts since rejoining the Mariners rotation. Even against an Angels offense thats middle-of-the-road, theres little reason to take a shot here.HittingBraden Shipley owns a 4.75 ERA in seven starts this season, which includes six or more runs allowed in two of his past three starts. In other words, a trip to Coors Field doesnt figure to go well. The right-hander has shown reverse splits this season (.397 wOBA allowed to right-handed batters), so theres no reason to stick only to Rockies hitters with the platoon advantage. Theyre all in play here.While Tyler Chatwood sports a 1.82 ERA on the road this year, he has yet to figure out Coors Field (5.43 ERA). Arizonas lineup is predominantly right-handed, but thats of little concern. This is still a fine stacking opportunity.James Shields has already allowed 32 home runs this season, putting him on pace to allow 39 dingers, which would by far be a career worst. With the Twins on the docket, theres plenty of upside with sluggers Brian Dozier, Miguel Sano and Max Kepler.Daniel Mengden holds a 5.73 as a starter this year, and hes set to face a Red Sox team that owns the highest wRC+ in baseball against right-handed pitching (115). It could be a long day for the Oakland right-hander. Im focusing on left-handed hitters in this one, so David Ortiz and Jackie Bradley Jr. are the top targets.Most likely to go yard: Miguel SanoJames Shields has allowed more home runs than all but two pitchers in baseball. Meanwhile, Sano has slammed 30 of his 38 career homers against right-handers.Most likely to swipe a bag: Starling MarteJimmy Nelson has allowed 26 steals this season. Only Noah Syndergaard has allowed more. If Marte gets on base, he will surely be looking to burn some rubber. http://www.giantsrookiestore.com/Giants-Orleans-Darkwa-Jersey/ . The team said Saturday that Lopez was hurt during its 121-120 overtime loss at Philadelphia on Friday. The Nets said they would issue another update next week after consultation with their doctors. http://www.giantsrookiestore.com/Giants-Evan-Engram-Jersey/ .J. -- Josh Cribbs was in the Pro Bowl in February and out of a job six months later. http://www.giantsrookiestore.com/Giants-Carl-Banks-Jersey/ . Still, Brewers manager Ron Roenicke thought taking him out before the fifth inning was an unusual move. "Im looking up at the board and hes got two hits given up and one run, and Im taking him out after the fourth inning," Roenicke said. http://www.giantsrookiestore.com/Giants-Kerry-Wynn-Jersey/ . -- The Portland Timbers and Real Salt Lake played to a 0-0 tie Saturday night that left the top of the Western Conference standings unchanged. http://www.giantsrookiestore.com/Giants-Doug-Kotar-Jersey/ . There was no hesitation from the 40th-ranked Pospisil, from Vernon, B.C., who admitted that he cut back on his training sessions over the last few days to conserve energy as the long ATP season finishes next week at the Paris Masters. Zimbabwes Harare-based players have refused to train in protest over unpaid match fees, which date back to July last year. The players were due to begin preparations for a series against Pakistan A, which starts at the end of the month, followed by fixtures against Sri Lanka, but have instead insisted on a meeting with Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) managing director Wilfred Mukondiwa to discuss their worsening situation.Several sources told ESPNcricinfo that apart from the outstanding player bill, ZC has also neglected to bring players from outside Harare to the training camp because of a lack of funds, or to ensure there are sufficient balls for training or nets for practice.We are just fed up at the moment. It is crisis after crisis over here, a player said while detailing the cloud of uncertainty hanging over them. Also, players said, since the end of July, when player contracts expired, there has been no indication on when new ones will be issued at either national or domestic level.Nationally-contracted players were given a months extension on their deals which covered the New Zealand series in July-August, but the situation at domestic level remains unclear after ZC announced it would move from a franchise to a provincial system this summer. No fixtures have been released yet.When contacted for a comment, ZC spokesperson Darlington Majonga said: The players have asked ZC for an update on new contracts and their delayed match ffees, but to equate their honest request for an engagement on the important issues to an ultimatum of some sort would be kind of making a mountain out of a molehill.ddddddddddddWhat is important is that their contracts are ready following an all-inclusive negotiation process that involved representatives of the players. On the other issue, ZC has been paying the match fees in tranches and will settle the outstanding amounts soon.*Other insiders confirmed Mukondiwa would address the players on Thursday, the day after the boards Annual General Meeting (AGM).Meanwhile, there has been no announcement on Zimbabwes schedule for the rest of the international season. They are scheduled to play two Tests against Sri Lanka, but there was initially speculation of that series being altered into a triangular fifty-over competition also involving West Indies. More recently, there has been word that both the Tests and the tri-series will take place.The players are preparing with the latter in mind under the watch of interim coach Makhaya Ntini and fitness trainer Sean Bell, while ZC deliberates over the vacant head coach post. Heath Streak, currently the bowling coach for IPL franchise Gujarat Lions, is believed to be the favourite to take over.*15.55GMT, September 14: The article was updated with ZCs response.
