The Klubes stands alone! Its a full slate on Tuesday, as per usual, but only the Cleveland ace stands out as a truly elite option. There are other viable pitchers, of course, but the wide-open slate might even encourage some non-Coors use.PitchingEliteCorey Kluber has had just one bad start in his past 13, and it was a five-run thrashing at Toronto. All told, he has a 2.20 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 95 strikeouts in 90 innings of work in that stretch. The only other time he was below a 58 Game Score was a baseline quality start (6 IP/3 ER) with just three strikeouts against the Angels on Aug. 11. In this run, he has an 88 Game Score (with only 21 starts of 88 or better in MLB this season), six of 70+, nine of 60+ and 11 of at least 58. The Angels start is the only time in his past 10 in which Kluber fanned fewer than seven. The Astros arent pushovers, but their 24 percent strikeout rate is the American Leagues highest (and third in MLB behind Milwaukee and San Diego).SolidSpeaking of the Brewers and their penchant for strikeouts, Jason Hammel gets his 15th career start against them and hopes to continue his career success: 2.50 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 8.1 K/9 and a 3.4 K:BB ratio in 86.3 innings. The bulk of that work has come in the past three seasons with the Cubs (61.3 IP), so I think there is some reliability to those numbers.Im always cautious about batter vs. pitcher matchups, but even the small sample of 33 plate appearances shows that Ryan Braun has no issues facing Hammel: 9-for-27 with 3 HRs, 3 BBs, 3 HBPs and 5 Ks. Hammel threw seven shutout innings against Milwaukee on Aug. 16 and held Braun to 0-for-2 before he was replaced. If he doesnt let the Brewers slugger beat him Tuesday, he should have a second straight solid start (6 IP/1 ER his latest time out vs. PIT).Spot startersAaron Sanchez and James Paxton are both setting new career highs for innings with every out they notch, which makes them riskier on the DFS landscape, as the Jays and Mariners could be looking to limit them where possible. A big lead could spell an early end to their outing, and a short leash could keep them from being able to work out of early trouble and put together a lengthy outing. Sanchez went six innings his latest time out after a skipped turn through the rotation, but hell make this start on normal rest. Paxton has gone only five in his past two starts, but that was more because of performance than a concerted effort to limit his work.Gio Gonzalez is one out shy of three straight quality starts, with a solid 3.16 ERA in his past 11 starts since July 1. He draws the Braves too, which enhances his appeal. He has only a 7.0 K/9 in those 11 starts, but the lowly Braves offer an opportunity to spike a big strikeout game. Gonzalez has seven starts of at least eight punchouts and a high of 10 back in June. Even if he gets only five or six strikeouts, we should still get six-plus innings of good work.Matt Boyd and Tyler Anderson are a pair of young lefties who have impressed throughout the second half. Boyd has had some home run issues, but the White Sox arent equipped to exploit that. Their 35 homers against lefties slot them 23rd in the league. Anderson has a 3.11 ERA at home with 8.3 K/9 and a 3.7 K:BB ratio to support the sparkling ERA. Coors changes things, but the Giants have just a .138 ISO against lefties this year (25th in the league).Speaking of Coors, I know Jeff Samardzija has a career 2.01 ERA there, but thats in 22.3 innings scattered across his career (dating to 2009) as both a starter and reliever. The 6.0 K/9 and 1.9 K:BB ratio dont give it much juice, either, so if Im gambling on an arm there, its Anderson.Quick: Who sits third behind only Kyle Hendricks and the aforementioned Kluber in ERA since June 19? I realize thats an arbitrary cutoff point that makes answering the question virtually impossible, but even with better context, youd be unlikely to guess the answer. It isnt?Max Scherzer (fifth) or Justin Verlander (seventh). Rather, its?Ervin Santana! His 2.38 ERA in 13 starts has gone mostly unnoticed on the bottom-feeding Twins, but hes been great throughout the dog days. He has only a 7.2 K/9 rate during the run, but the Royals are striking out against righties at an average clip this year, after a few years as the toughest team to fan. His season-high 10 strikeouts came against KC back on Aug. 21.Luke Weaver has looked good through four MLB starts and has added strikeouts each time: three, six, seven and then 10 his latest time out. Im not sure hell continue that trend, but I can see another strong start of six or more innings, this time in Pittsburgh. He has had a stark platoon split so far (.593 OPS vs. righties; 1.136 vs. lefties), despite a strong changeup, but the Pirates have only three regular lefties they can throw at him: Gregory Polanco, John Jaso?and Matt Joyce.I have a hard time trusting Clay Buchholz, due in large part to the fact that I just dont see him as a very good pitcher and certainly not a very reliable one. But he got three starts in August, and the past two were great -- 6 IP/1 ER gems at Detroit and at Tampa Bay -- so Im willing to at least consider him in San Diego. The Padres have the leagues worst OPS against righties, at just .672, and as I mentioned earlier, they have the second-highest strikeout rate against righties this year at 25 percent.The strength of the Seattle offense comes from the left side, and Martin Perez just hasnt had an issue with lefties this year. His .517 OPS against them is second to only Danny Duffy (.461) in the majors this year. Perez might not be a bad SP2 punt.AvoidIve recommended Jake Odorizzi many times throughout the season, but I cant do so against Baltimore. Theyre just too dangerous to mess with, especially in DFS.HittingFor the second straight Tuesday, there is a game at Coors, but neither team is drawing a great overall hitter rating. San Franciscos is no doubt due to Andersons success at home, and Colorados could be muted by Samardzijas work at Coors over the years, though the Rockies lefties still draw an 8. Carlos Gonzalez, Charlie Blackmon?and David Dahl remain my favorites to target.We have four individual 10s for Tuesday: Cubs and Phillies lefties and the Angels and Marlins righties. Lets start with the Phillies and Marlins, as theyre facing one another. Jose Urena has nearly a 200-point platoon split that favors lefty hitters with an .858 OPS. Unfortunately, Philly just doesnt offer many appealing lefties outside of Odubel Herrera, who has sputtered his way through the second half (.653 OPS). Cesar Hernandez and Freddy Galvis are a couple of light-hitting switch-hitters you could consider as punt plays, but Id really rather look elsewhere. Adam Morgan sees Urenas platoon issues and raises him more than 50 points with a 250-point split that has resulted in a .969 OPS for righties. Ill be adding some Marcell Ozuna, Martin Prado?and J.T. Realmuto to my lineups for sure.Everyone is looking at Cubs hitters every day, and Tuesday will be no different. Their lefties draw a 10, but their righties arent exactly chopped liver, with a 7. Everyone is in play against Wily Peralta. He has allowed a .916/.906 left/right OPS split this year and has struggled since the start of last year.Anthony Rizzo is the major play; hell be my home run pick and will likely be widely used, especially in cash games. Rizzo has obliterated Peralta throughout his career, going 14-for-28 with 5 HRs, 4 BBs and 3 Ks. I know this is twice Ive cited batter vs. pitcher, but this is utter domination -- not just a handful of hits that could be filled with bloop singles. Youd probably be interested in Rizzo even before the batter vs. pitcher data. Thats usually the case and why I regularly ignore BvP as a method for player selection. This time, Im using it to highlight Rizzo -- not as the defining reason to use him.Baltimore righties, Nationals lefties and all Cardinals are also worth investigating.Most likely to go yard: Rizzo. Hes a monster.Most likely to swipe a bag: Travis Jankowski. He has been sputtering of late after a hot run (.522 OPS in the past 14 days), but he runs when he gets on, and I think he will flex that .291 average against righties against Buchholz and will get his 31st steal of the year.

Once again, DeLaet finished tied for second at a PGA Tour stop on the weekend, this time at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. The pride of Weyburn, Sask. SAN DIEGO -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, so woeful for so long, are doing everything they can to prove theyre for real.Jameis Winston threw a go-ahead, 12-yard touchdown pass to Cameron Brate midway through the fourth quarter and Keith Tandy intercepted Philip Rivers in the end zone with 2:56 left to give the Tampa Bay Buccaneers their fourth straight victory, 28-21 victory against San Diego on Sunday.The Bucs (7-5) pulled into a tie with Atlanta atop the NFC South.Ive been here for five years and this is the first time weve been playing meaningful football in December, so I cant lie to you, it is a great feeling, Tandy said. But we also know we have a lot of work to do, so well take 24 hours to enjoy it and get back to work.Since winning the Super Bowl here in January 2003 with a rout of the Oakland Raiders, the Bucs have been back to the playoffs only twice, losing in the wild-card round both times. Theyve missed the playoffs the last eight years.Were having fun, and when you have fun good things happen, rookie cornerback Vernon Hargreaves said. Hopefully we can keep this streak going and see where it takes us.Rivers threw two second-half interceptions, including Lavonte Davids pick-6.Hargreaves had a hand in both pickoffs.He tipped the ball that David plucked out of the air and returned 15 yards for a 17-14 lead late in the third quarter.After Winstons go-ahead TD pass to Brate and a 2-point conversion pass to Mike Evans, Rivers had the Chargers on the move in the final minutes. Hargreaves hollered out what route to look for. Tandy got in front of a pass to Dontrelle Inman along the right sideline and picked it off.Tandys momentum carried him into the end zone, giving the Bucs the ball on their 20. They were able to run out the clock.Tandy said the defense made adjustments at halftime and came out fired up.We didnt have the energy we had the last couple of weeks. So thats all we kept talking about, Tandy said. You could hear guys going, `Lets get the energy back. Lets get the energy back and lets keep punching. The Chargers (5-7) were trying to get back to .500 for the first time since Week 2. They remain buried in the AFC West basement.In his last home game, Rivers was intercepted four times in the fourth quarter of a 31-24 loss to Miami.Weve had a handful like this, not necessarily exactly losing them this way,, but we have had our chances to win and we havent gotten it done, Rivers said.ddddddddddddYou cant turn it over twice. Cant turn it over, one for a touchdown and the other in that situation.WINNING DRIVETampa Bay benefited from a short punt by Drew Kaser to start the winning drive on its 46. Winston found Brate for the TD on the fourth play of the drive, with 9:01 to play, and then hit Evans on a conversion pass for a 28-21 lead.Winston was 20 of 30 for 280 yards, with one TD and one pickoff.Winston was intercepted by Casey Hayward on Tampa Bays first possession, but Josh Lambo was wide left on a 53-yard field goal try. Winston then led the Bucs on a drive capped by Doug Martins 2-yard touchdown run on a great second effort.MORE RIVERSAfter giving up the pick-6, Rivers came right back and led a drive capped by a nice 40-yard touchdown toss to Williams for a 21-17 lead. Rivers also threw a 35-yard touchdown pass to Inman on the games first possession.BOSA WATCHChargers rookie defensive end Joey Bosa sacked Winston for a 12-yard loss on second-and-10 from the San Diego 15 late in the first half. Jacquizz Rodgers got 14 back on the next play, but the Bucs had to try a 31-yard field goal and Roberto Aguayo pushed it wide right.Bosa has 5 1/2 sacks. He might have had more by now, but he missed all of training camp in a nasty contract spat with management, then hurt a hamstring that cost him the first four games.Bosa came off late in the game, appearing to slightly favor his left leg. He returned a few plays later. Coach Mike McCoy refused to say what the problem was.INJURIESTampa Bay wide receiver Cecil Shorts III was taken off the field on a cart after sustaining a knee injury on a hard hit by San Diegos Jahleel Addae following a catch on the Bucs first possession. Shorts was tended to for a few minutes and then put on the cart. The entire Buccaneers team came out near the cart, and several of the players slapped hands with the wide receiver. Shorts pumped a fist toward his teammates as he was driven off.Tampa Bay also lost WR Adam Humphries with a concussion and tight end Luke Stocker with an ankle injury.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
