In many ways, Super Troopers 2 is more a collection of skits than a cohesive project. For a lot of films we’d consider that lack of continuity a minus. Here, though, it’s par for the course with plenty of different combinations of characters put in various situations to see what sticks.

JBJ has had a lost season, but as the break came, he was finally starting to show signs of life, hitting safely is six of his last seven, driving in runs in three straight and hitting doubles in back-to-back games. Yes, the former Cape Cod Leaguer sat Friday, but given his glovework, he’s going to be in the lineup most days, and frankly, he’s been a bit unlucky with the bat this year. After all, Bradley ranks 20th in the bigs in hard hit percentage, so clearly he’s still smoking the ball. We predict that the offensive freefall he’s experienced over the last year and a half ends in the second half, making him a fine buy-low candidate.

Obviously there’s only so much you can cram into a film, but Cline’s world is cleverly constructed, as is Spielberg’s vision of it. There’s a unique look to everything within the OASIS, and even with all the ’80s reference from the book that had to be left out for obvious reasons there’s still loads of nostalgic cameos sprinkled throughout the film. The set pieces, in particular The Shining’s Overlook Hotel, are really well done.

Here’s a kid that hasn’t quite started to pop up on the Fantasy radar, but his performance this season will change that — at least from a Dynasty league perspective. Atlanta’s second rounder from 2016 began the season at Class-A, going undefeated with a stellar 2.40 ERA through 30 innings. It was enough for the Braves to fast track Muller to High-A, where his hit rates are up, but he still hasn’t been taken yard through 11 starts and 61 1/3 IP. Coming off a seven-inning, 12-strikeout shutout performance, he could soon be ready for Double-A the way things are going. This lefty can be dominant, and needs to be plucked in Dynasty formats.

Hundreds of years have passed since the end of the original NieR, and Automata finds humans forced to inhabit the moon after aliens attacked Earth. To fight back, mankind has created androids known as the YoRHa to augment the remaining androids on Earth in their efforts to destroy the machines. It’s into this reality that YoRHa units 2B (that’s you) and 9S are sent.

It’s hard to say if Rampage would work even half as well as it does without The Rock, who does a good job of not taking things too seriously. As usual his comedic timing is very good playing off other characters and the CGI gorilla. He has a fairly absurd back story, but what other combo could provide us with a guy that has a primate for a best friend and can also kick all kinds of ass when it comes down to it.

Anderson has put together back-to-back outings of eight shutout innings, winning both and lowering his ERA almost three-quarters of a run in the process. His run is supported by stellar command (17 Ks, three walks) and unhittable stuff (just six hits against in the two starts combined). Anderson is doing a better job of limiting long balls this season and that’s helped him rebound after suffering a sophomore slump last year. Colorado’s 2011 first rounder has arrived as a Fantasy factor.
