Welcome to the last week of the 2016 MLB regular season. For some, titles will be won and lost over the next seven days. For others, its one last week set DFS lineups for MLB.We have our normal abbreviated Monday slate with a surprising number of good choices on the rubber. Good luck everyone. Lets bring home a championship or two.PitchingEliteCorey Kluber is the only arm that checks in as elite for Monday, as his Cleveland Indians opening a set in Motown. The Detroit Tigers are in the middle of the wild-card hunt, so theyll be using their A-team. This adds some risk to Klubers profile, despite the fact hell enjoy the platoon edge over the majority of the home teams sluggers. Theres enough strikeout upside to use Kluber in a GPP in the hopes the Tribe gives him one more shot to earn Cy Young votes.SolidSpeaking of pitchers angling to add onto their Cy Young resume, Kyle Hendricks and the Chicago Cubs head to the Steel City for a date at PNC Park with the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 26-year old righty is in a good spot for a typically strong performance, facing a Bucs squad thats been struggling since the All-Star break. Hendricks has tossed at least six frames in 11 of his past 12 outings and should do so again, making him the top cash game option on the day.After suggesting theyd shutdown Drew Smyly early, the Tampa Bay Rays are sending their lefty to the hill at least one more time. All things considered, 2016 has to be considered a step back for Smyly, despite the fact he set a career high in innings. Home runs and a drop in strikeouts were the primary downfalls. Smyly get the ball at U.S. Cellular Field to take on the Chicago White Sox so he has the chance to head into 2017 on a strong note.The St. Louis Cardinals will reinsert Jaime Garcia into their rotation, replacing Luke Weaver. Presently sitting at 170 2/3 innings, the oft-injured lefty has surprised in terms of health but has been a major disappointment when it comes to performance. Garcia has the chance to end the season on a high note with a home affair against the Cincinnati Reds. When hes on, Garcia is more known for his floor than ceiling, but this season his uncharacteristic consistency is better suited for GPP play, especially against an offense with an above-average strikeout rate against lefties.If Sean Manaeas second half is a harbinger of next year, the Oakland Athletics have a front-end of the rotation starter on their midst. The lefty is sporting a 2.72 ERA and 1.09 ERA over his last 10 efforts, fanning 57 with only 15 walks in those 59 2/3 innings. Next up for Manaea is the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim. The strikeout potential is lacking for DFS GPP consideration, but the 24-year old is very much in play for cash action.David Ortiz is getting all sorts of accolades for what hes doing at 40 years of age, and rightfully so, but lets give Bartolo Colon some credit. Hes on the verge of his fourth consecutive campaign tossing at least 190 innings at the ripe age of 43. With all the injuries to their staff, the New York Mets needed every one of those frames as they enter the last week of the season entangled with the Giants and Cardinals for the two NL wild-card berths. Colon leads the Mets into Marlins Park where his workmanlike approach is quite suitable for DFS cash game play.Perhaps if the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox were reversed in the standings, it would be J.A. Happ and not fellow 20-game winner Rick Porcello garnering the AL Cy Young Award buzz. Instead, Happ is keying the Jays flight towards the wild-card game, taking the hill at Rogers Centre for a make-up game against the New York Yankees. Happ doesnt generally pitch deep into games, and there isnt much strikeout potential, so if the price is right, Happ fits best for DFS cash play.Tanner Roarks campaign is a big reason why the Washington Nationals are NL East division champions for the third time in five years. Next on the docket for the soon-to-be 30-year old is a home date with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Roarks floor puts him in play for cash while the Snakes strikeout-prone lineup elevates him to tournament consideration.StreamersPickings are slim for an under-the-radar spot starter. If wins are your fancy, Martin Perez and the Texas Rangers are in the thick of the race for the American Leagues best record, which rewards home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. The Milwaukee Brewers visit Arlington and will be decided underdogs.AvoidJered Weaver and Matt Garza make this list by virtue of their sub-45 projected game scores. Technically, Perez should qualify as well, but since he was mentioned as a streamer, its only fair to warn against an option not in the automatic avoid range. As alluded to, the Rays hit righties well, especially in terms of power. Considering how homer-prone James Shields has been for most of the season, its best to leave him on the sidelines.HittingMaking a rare visit to the top spot are the Rays with their juicy matchup against Shields. Its likely not a shock that the White Sox righty has surrendered the most homers in the league. What may be surprising is only the Baltimore Orioles have taken right-handers deep more often than the Rays. Brad Miller and Corey Dickerson enjoy the platoon edge while Logan Forsythe and Evan Longoria are in play despite the righty-righty encounter.The Rangers check in the second spot with their home date against Matt Garza and the Brewers. Lefty swingers thrive facing Garza, yielding Nomar Mazara, Rougned Odor, Mitch Moreland and Carlos Beltran?as the main targets. The Rangers are fighting for home field, so they arent likely to use their call-ups, but just in case: Keep an eye out for Joey Gallo or Jared Hoying getting a start.Second to Shields with respect to homers allowed is Jered Weaver. The Los Angeles Angels righty takes the hill in Anaheim against the Oakland Athletics. The guests dont have the power potential of the Rays, but theyre dangerous nonetheless. Joey Wendle has excelled from the leadoff spot with Stephen Vogt recently occupying the two hole. The table-setters have the platoon edge, but the real power comes from Ryon Healy, Khris Davis and Danny Valencia.Most likely to hit a homer: Corey Dickerson has powered 21 of his 23 homers against right-handers, so lets designate him as the Ray most likely to take Shields out of the park.Most likely to steal a base: Adam Frazier has been leading off most of the time, stealing four bags in five tries in his young career. Look for him to do some running against the Cubs, a squad that does not put a premium on controlling the running game. Cheap Wholesale Air Jordan 12 .

ATLANTA -- Ted Roof is looking to solve Georgia Techs abysmal rankings in takeaways and third-down stops.Roof, in his fourth season as defensive coordinator, knows those will be keys when the Yellow Jackets play Duke on Saturday.Roof had a record of creating big plays with his aggressive defenses at Minnesota, Auburn and Penn State before his return to Georgia Tech, his alma mater, in 2013.This year has been a struggle. Georgia Techs six takeaways are the fewest in the Atlantic Coast Conference and rank 119th in the nation.Roof, Dukes coach from 2003-07, said his coaching emphasis on creating turnovers is as strong as ever.If I had an answer for you Id give it to you and better yet wed do it, more importantly, Roof said Monday. Weve just got to keep trying. If you just stay after it and stay after it one day it happens and one (turnover) can lead to two and two can lead to three.The Yellow Jackets 126th-ranked third-down defense was a focus of coach Paul Johnsons weekly news conference on Tuesday. Opponents have been successful on almost half of third downs (50 of 101).Weve got to be better on third downs and try to get off the field, Johnson said. Weve beat that horse to death, but thats the bottom line. ... I think if we could be better on third down everything will fall into place and make everything better.Georgia Tech (4-3, 1/3 Atlantic Coast Conference) snapped a streak of three straight losses by beating Georgia Southern 35-24 on Oct. 15. Johnson said the defense made some plays but addedd that two fourth-quarter touchdowns by the Eagles made the score disappointing.ddddddddddddThe Yellow Jackets defense played well in allowing only 31 combined points in wins over Boston College, Mercer and Vanderbilt to open the season.Their defense obviously has some special components about it, said Duke center Austin Davis, who added the defense is overshadowed by the constant focus on Georgia Techs spread-option offense with its triple-option plays.Everyone always thinks Georgia Tech triple option, Davis said. ... Georgia Techs defense doesnt get as much credit as they should.More credit would come with attention-grabbing big plays. So far the defense has three interceptions and three fumble recoveries. Defensive tackle Patrick Gamble has three sacks. No other player has more than one.Roof said hes determined to find ways to create more turnovers.It frustrates you because its such a big component of winning and losing, he said. At the same time youve just got to keep working and stay after it.Saturdays visit from Duke (3-4, 0-3) is crucial for Georgia Techs hopes to salvage its season. The Yellow Jackets play road games against two Top 25 teams the next two weeks -- No. 21 North Carolina and No. 25 Virginia Tech.---AP Sports Writer Joedy McCreary in Durham, North Carolina, contributed to this report.---Online:More AP college football: http://collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
