    Todd Zola: Sunday brings bonus baseball with Friday's postponement in Coors Field being made up today with the Colorado Rockies hosting the Washington Nationals for a pair. The over/under for both games is 10.5, so squeeze in as many batters as possible from this one.

    • Tomorrow is Patriots Day in Boston, which means the annual 11:05 a.m. ET start in Fenway Park. Pickups need to be completed by the early first pitch, though you can still maneuver the rest of your roster.
