One Night Only: Game Previews for August 13th

When you talk about talking people, you’re talking about these people talking.

Featured Game
Los Angeles Americans (5) at Toronto (6) | 13:07 ET
• When you’re talking about pitchers who’re third in the league in WAR, you’re talking about Jered Weaver (5.5).
• That’s provided, of course, that you’re talking about something as specific as that.
• Question: how long of a conversation would that be, though — the pitchers-who’re-third-in-the-league conversation?
• Thirty seconds?
• Or, because this is a Blue Jay game, 45 metric seconds?

4. Custom player page dashboards! Choose the player cards you want, in the order you want them.

5. One-click data exports! Export our projections and leaderboards for your personal projects.

8. Get FanGraphs Walk-Off, a customized year end review! Find out exactly how you used FanGraphs this year, and how that compares to other Members. Don't be a victim of FOMO.
