The usual cause of dacryocystitis is a blockage in the tear duct and backup of tears in the tear sac. The tear sac can become inflamed and swell, resulting in dacryocystitis. This condition often triggers watery eyes, redness, and eye discharge. How Tears Are Produced Tears are produced by the lacrimal glands located at the upper eyelid, above the eyes. When people blink, the tears spread on the eye region, keeping it moist and helping focus light for clear vision....

Buy ‘Em Adrian Gonzalez (1.063 OPS in 41 career at-bats), Matt Kemp (1.269 OPS in 36 at-bats) and Hanley Ramirez (1.286 OPS in 28 at-bats) have all hit well against Jorge De La Rosa.

The Cubs, Astros, and Rockies offer good stacking opportunities based on the stats, but going with Tigers against Miguel Gonzalez or Indians against Chris Young won’t be frowned upon. For the late games, the A’s, Rangers, and Marlins should be popular stacks, but getting Dodgers against Archie Bradley, Angels against Ervin Santana, and Giants against Matt Garza could also be profitable moves.

There’s really only one true ace on the mound (Jake Arrieta), plus a lot of lefties and pitchers with notable handedness splits, so it’s easy to find value hitters and potential stacks today. Good luck putting together your lineups!

Of course, the way to win big in GPPs is to differentiate a bit. That doesn’t necessarily mean you shouldn’t have Scherzer or Darvish (you can differentiate with your hitters), but there are other hurlers out there who can help win you money. Michael Fulmer and Marcus Stroman are easily the next-best pitchers on the slate, and guys like Mike Leake, Jimmy Nelson, and Andrew Triggs have come out of the gates on fire....
It’s going to be difficult for many to choose a pitcher tonight, as our rankings are loaded with good options. From aces (Syndergaard, Scherzer), to high-upside strikeout sleepers (Salazar, Hill), to values with great matchups (Chen, Latos), you can go a lot of different directions. If you’re playing on two-SP sites, you can still get great pitching stats even if you bypass one of the aces. MORE FANTASY: Prospect rankings | MLB DFS Playbook | Optimal lineup...
Today’s Playbook was one of the easiest I have written in quite some time. There are clear targets all over the place, plus several situations to absolutely avoid. You might think this would always be the case during 15-game slates, but I assure you it is not. One of those clear targets is Coors Field, where we love lefthanded hitters against the woeful Andrew Cashner. Chase Field is also a prime target tonight, where we have a couple of southpaws dueling it out and several lefty-killers in each lineup....
