Despite a lot of great minds thinking alike (and also mine and Arbour's, haw), no duplicate slates this time around.

More big thoughts after the jump.

Most popular pick is Bellinger, with Bregman and Springer right behind, and a surprising (to me) amount of action on LeMahieu. I've got the only STL pick, which has historically worked out well for me, but it's Goldie, which has historically not. The field had no interest in the Nats or Rays, and I get it -- it's hard to feel good about a team that's running d'Arnaud out there as the cleanup hitter, or...about the Nationals in October.

But here's your first hed: if the Dodgers and Astros don't go the distance, this shit's going to be irrelevant in a hurry. 

Here's your second: points ahoy, starting at 5:02 (...sigh) PM ET in Atlanta, Mikolas v. Keuchel on the hill. WSH at LAD starts at a comparatively reasonable 8:37 ET, Corbin v. Buehler. I'll be taking all TB/points totals from MLB.com, but as always, 1) feel free to check my work, 2) the comments are here for you on the venting tip, and 3) good luck!
