Griffin has now made 12 starts in the last three years combined, and it’s telling in a league starving for good quarterback play that nobody has seen fit to roll the dice on RG3. That’ll change, of course, and he’ll probably end up in some 1A/1B situation with another fringe option… kinda like last year. Steer clear.

A few years ago, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy exploded from cult comic book to film mega-hit. TellTale Games very smartly picked up the license to tell a story in this universe, and its arrival is welcome simply because most TellTale adventures are very grim in tone.

In four starts, the southpaw is 2-1 with a 2.19 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP. On Friday, Santiago pitched his third straight quality start, which matches his total for all of 2016. His next start will be on Wednesday in Texas, normally an unattractive matchup, but the Rangers are struggling right now, ranking just 24th in the bigs in OPS.

The Dark Souls series is lauded for its exacting, punishing gamelplay. Styx tends to follow that strict formula, where stealth is essentially the only option. This is not like Assassin’s Creed or Metal Gear Solid in which you can muscle your way through; very rarely will prolonged fights do much for you, and the much-improved AI will find you more often than not.

Since the start of the 2016 season, Hernandez ranks third in walks (68) and BABIP (.363), seventh in OBP (.371) and tied for seventh in batting average (.295) among all qualifying second baseman in the majors. In fact, that BABIP ranks eighth among any qualifying player in the majors over that span, at that’s a concern that he’s due for a correction at some point. But for now, it’s full steam ahead as in his last seven games, Hernandez is hitting .370/.414/.519 with four RBI.

Persona 5 starts out similarly to Persona 4, with a young student being forced to move and attend high school in a very different setting from where they grew up. This time our lead relocates from the countryside to Tokyo due to being branded a minor criminal.

As an otherworldly antagonist, the Bye Bye Man is about as generic and uninteresting as it gets. There’s no compelling back story to uncover, no unsettling taunting or terrorizing (we don’t recall him ever uttering a single word) and no cool signature ability. On top of that, he’s saddled with some terrible looking CGI dog thing. It’s laughably bad.
