Good Morning!
|
Bye weeks are here, which means the wire stops being about upside and starts being about survival. Coop's framing is blunt: if you're already carrying three losses, you cannot afford stashes anymore. Philadelphia lost Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby in the same afternoon, Tyreek Hill is sitting there unsigned, and Joe Mixon is reportedly headed to Seattle.
Here's what you need to know today.

3 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY
Coop says your whole approach has to change from what worked in Week 2.
2 |
Barkley And Bigsby Both Hurt |
Will Shipley is the Eagles claim, at a medium priority and 10-15% FAAB.
3 |
Tyreek Hill Is A Free Agent |
Same medium priority, and he could start the week he signs somewhere.
|
Chris Sale's strikeout rate this season entering tonight's NLDS Game 3 against the Dodgers. One of the highest among today's starters, off a 2.22 ERA and 0.975 WHIP regular season.

MLB HR PICK
|
Jake Bauers (MIL)
To Hit a Home Run (+490)
We're prioritizing Dodgers vs. Braves tonight, but the Brew Crew still deserve love, especially after Jackson Chourio gave us a winner to start the Divisional Round. We're swapping to a lefty with the Padres starting righty Nick Pivetta, who is still getting in midseason form after missing a large chunk of the season. Milwaukee's first baseman has a monster .215 expected ISO vs. righties, so we're locking in the southpaw along with our top three targets.

Howard Bender
NHL TOTAL PICK
|
Panthers vs. Kings
Over 5.5 (-120)
The Panthers offense is built to score goals and push opponents around, but their goaltending has been mediocre at best thus far. Meanwhile the Kings are scoring four per night but have let up 13 through two games. These teams should easily combine for the over tonight.

Coop's Week 5 wire is above, with the five takeaways from Sunday, the hot takes and the risers and fallers behind it — enough to get your claims in before Thursday without guessing. Tonight belongs to NLDS Game 3 in Atlanta, where Chris Sale takes the ball against the Dodgers, though Mark has gone the other way entirely and found Jake Bauers at +490 in Milwaukee. Howard's on Panthers-Kings going over 5.5, which between those two goaltending situations might be the least risky thing in this email. Good luck tonight.
