Termine » the ball kissed the outside edge. Unfortunate

Welcome to the last day of the 2016 season ... or is it? Depending on how things turn out, the Indians and Tigers may need to make up last Thursdays rainout with the possibility of playing another game on Tuesday and maybe even on Wednesday if theres a four-way tie for the American League wild-card berths.Lets try this again.Welcome to the last Sunday of the regular season! As has been tradition the last several campaigns, all 15 games are scheduled to start about the same time. The purpose is so all teams in games with playoff implications have to play their regulars and not have the luxury of backing into a playoff berth then scratching their scheduled starter. So for the 179th and final time this year, heres what you need to navigate through the final full slate of the 2016 regular season.PitchingEliteMax Scherzer is scheduled to take the hill for the Washington Nationals in a home tilt against the Miami Marlins. The Nationals will open the playoffs on Friday, meaning Scherzer will be working on regular rest for Game 1. The question is: How long will he be allowed to stay in on Sunday? Scherzer is one win away from the magic 20, so while its highly unlikely the veteran righty tosses his usual seven-or-so frames, hurling five or six keeps him sharp while availing the chance of a win. In terms of DFS, the risk Scherzers outing is cut short takes him out of cash play. Getting some exposure in tournaments is fine unless the club announces a pitch limit.Chris Sale takes the hill at U.S. Cellular Field for the last time. No, I have no inside on an impending trade of the controversial lefty. As of Nov. 1, the venue commonly called The Cell will become Guaranteed Rate Field, forcing writers to finally learn how to spell guarantee properly. The Chicago White Sox have nothing on the line other than pride, so theres a good chance Sale pitches without any restrictions. This means the southpaw is the clear top choice for DFS, especially since the opposing Minnesota Twins fan at an elevated clip with a left-hander on the hill.Justin Verlander takes the ball for the Detroit Tigers in Game 161, with a good chance hell be pitching for the need to play the final game on Monday. The veteran right-hander takes the hill at Turner Field for the final game played in the venue as the Atlanta Braves will move to the newly constructed SunTrust Park next season. As has been well-documented in this space, the Braves have been one of the top offensive teams since the break, but history has taught us to lean on the side of the team with greater motivation. As such, Verlander is in play for all DFS formats, though Sale has the higher ceiling.SolidThe Los Angeles Dodgers are locked into their playoff spot, so other than playing spoiler for the archrival San Francisco Giants, they have nothing to play for. Kenta Maeda gets the start for the NL West champs, and since he doesnt toss more than five or six innings anyway, hes not a DFS option.Kyle Hendricks makes his last regular-season start on the road against the Cincinnati Reds. The Chicago Cubs have stated their Cy Young hopeful will be limited to 100 pitches, likely meaning five innings, but cracking the door open in the event a sixth frame helps the rightys cause for personal gains, perhaps to edge his ERA back under 2.00 or to increase the chance for his 17th win. Because the win is in play, using Hendricks in cash is viable, though he lacks the upside for GPP action.As of this writing, the Baltimore Orioles havent clinched a wild-card berth, meaning Kevin Gausman will have no restrictions against the New York Yankees in the Bronx. There are better plays on paper, but the motivation factor lifts Gausman to GPP consideration.With the Boston Red Sox locked into a series with the Cleveland Indians, Sundays finale is mostly a tune-up game for David Price, though there is some motivation to win for home field against the Tribe. Still, its hard to imagine the southpaw working any more than five frames, despite this game being important for the visiting Toronto Blue Jays.Assuming the Giants have not clinched a date in Citi Field for the wild-card game, Matt Moore will be taxed with getting them there. The lefty faces a Dodgers club more concerned with getting ready for their NLDS meeting with the Nationals. Add Moore to the list of high-upside tournament options working with no restrictions.With so much in flux on the final Sunday, its tough to pinpoint viable contrarian options. Sean Manaea fits the bill as the Oakland Athletics take on the Seattle Mariners in a game the Mariners need to win. Theres a chance Oakland wants to limit the rookies innings, but is there a huge risk leaving him in for six, maybe seven stanzas? The Mariners are tough, but Manaea has the platoon edge over most of the better Seattle sticks. If youre looking to throw a dart at a big pull on the final day off GPPs, Manaea is an intriguing option.As tempting as the narrative is to use Felix Hernandez in a big game, the King isnt missing many bats, while the Athletics are hard to punchout. Therefore, its best to fade the Mariners right-hander for DFS purposes.StreamersJerad Eickhoff is owned in only 46 percent of ESPN leagues, so theres a chance hes available for those in leagues with daily moves. Facing a Mets team thats coming off a playing-clinching win, the Phillies curveball specialist will likely face a lesser lineup. Not only is Eickhoff a great spot starter, hes in the mix for DFS too.Matt Koch earned another start after impressing the Arizona Diamondbacks brass in his first start against the Nationals. This time the 25-year-old rookie draws the San Diego Padres at Chase Field. The lineup the Friars are using is much different from the one contributing the majority of their near-league-leading strikeouts. Still, its not very dangerous, so if you need a miracle, Koch could be your savior.The Texas Rangers have nothing to play for, but since it will be a week before Martin Perez throws again, theres no reason to restrict him against the Tampa Bay Rays. Especially if you need punch outs, consider the lefty an option.AvoidIf there was ever a day to pull out all the stops, its today. That said, you need to be in dire straits to use German Marquez at Coors Field or Chase Whitley in Arlington.HittingThink of it this way: You only have one more chance to agonize whether to get exposure to or fade Coors Field this season. With Marquez working for the hosts and the bullpen collectively doing the honors for the guests, the runs should be crossing the plate left and right. The left-handed unit for the Rockies is in the best spot, so Charlie Blackmon, Carlos Gonzalez and David Dahl get their final of many mentions this season. The Brewers dont have many lefties to deploy against Marquez other than Scooter Gennett,?but in that venue, it doesnt matter. Ryan Braun, Chris Carter and Domingo Santana are all candidates to end the season with a round-tripper.If the White Sox wanted to sit their regulars, theyd have been doing it already. Admittedly, they dont really have any prospects to look at, so theres no reason Adam Eaton, Melky Cabrera, Jose Abreu and Todd Frazier wont be playing against still promising but raw Jose Berrios. The Twins rookie has surrendered 12 homers in just 51 1/3 major league innings.With their come-from-behind victory Saturday, the St. Louis Cardinals are still battling for the right to travel to Queens to take on the Mets. This puts Matt Carpenter and Brandon Moss in a great spot with the platoon bump over Ryan Vogelsong. Righties Aledmys Diaz, Stephen Piscotty, Jedd Gyorko and the rejuvenated Yadier Molina are considerations as well.Most likely to hit a homer: Hell have to do it against ground ball specialist Aaron Sanchez, but you know David Ortiz will be looking to leisurely stroll around the bases one last time ... in a regular-season affair.Most likely to steal a base: Lots of choices for this honor, so Ill close out the season with a personal favorite, Jose Peraza.

Where do the seamers go?There used to be a time when the pitch in Mohali was considered to be the best in India for fast bowlers. There was more bounce and the winter in the north assisted the seam bowlers more than the spinners. But that is the thing of the past and this pitch is no different from the ones we have witnessed in the recent past. The early morning chill ensured that the surface felt a little cold on the palm but the soil underneath wore the look considered ideal for spinners. Some of the cracks were moving even before the first ball was bowled. These cracks are expected to not only crumble but Im anticipating some of the pieces to come off completely. Toss, once again, is crucial.Hameed too young to drive?A young Test career always gives constant opportunities to follow the developing patterns. If you looked at Haseeb Hameeds wagon-wheel against the Indian quicks in this series, you will find that most of his runs have come behind the stumps. Since fast bowlers try to bowl fuller around the off stump with the new ball, most openers are competent drivers. Hameeds fledgling career is suggesting that while he is aware of where his off stump is (leaves a lot of balls alone), he is a reluctant driver. Perhaps, it is worth trying bowling a yard fuller to him in the outside off channel early on.What not to do when you misread the lengthJoe Roots dismissal highlighted the importance of judging the length while playing against spin. The ball that got rid of him was too full to go back to and the same happened a few times with Jonny Bairstow against Jayant Yadav.dddddddddddd. The cardinal rule of batting is that if you have misread the length, do not commit the second mistake by playing an attacking shot. Root did that and lost his wicket. Bairstow was fortunate because whenever he went back to a full ball, he tried to play with a straight bat.Gets Cook but puts down BairstowThe third ball of the 47th over, from R Ashwin, was well flighted and pitched full outside off, and that tempted Bairstow to attempt a cover drive. The ball turned sharply to find the inside edge and went back to Ashwin. The following delivery was on the same length, albeit a little closer and flatter, and that made the ball go straight after pitching. The variation was enough to induce another false cover drive. This time the ball kissed the outside edge. Unfortunately, Parthiv Patel failed to pouch it.Pitch too slow for bouncers?Both in Rajkot and Vizag, fast bowlers from both sides were liberal in using the short-ball trap. Not that both the pitches were seamer friendly but there was definitely more response from those pitches as compared to the one we have seen in Mohali. Even though India picked Moeen Ali with a bouncer, they used it very sparingly. The impression we got from outside was that the pitch is a little too low and slow, for the batsmen were getting enough time to ride the bounce. But then dont form an opinion till both teams have bowled on the pitch.
