There's some rain on the radar in Chicago, but most of it isn't until night so that game shouldn't have any problems. The Brewers are on a roll, yet Jose Quintana is a perfect antidote for that. In the late game, it's almost a must to go with Walker Buehler given Colorado's road struggles this year.
PITCHER
Walker Buehler, LAD vs. COL ($48): Buehler faced the Rockies in this spot two starts ago and he struck out 12 while allowing three hits and no runs in six innings. He may not strike out as many guys as German Marquez ($48), but the matchup is much better. The Rockies have been one of the worst in MLB on the road and have a miserable 24.1 K%, .061 ISO and .220 wOBA against righties in the last month away from Coors Field.
Jose Quintana, CHC vs. MIL ($36): The Brewers are on fire, but Quintana's success against them can't be ignored. In six starts against Milwaukee this year, Quintana has allowed just 23 hits and nine runs while striking out 33 in 37.1 innings. At home against Milwaukee on Sept. 11, he went 6.2 innings and only allowed three hits.

CATCHER
Yasmani Grandal, LAD vs. COL ($10): There isn't much to do at catcher between these four teams, but Grandal makes the most sense. He has nine hits in his last five starts, but also power with a .242 ISO and .363 wOBA against righties. Marquez is worse against lefty bats with a .344 OBP allowed and that's where Grandal can help in this game.
FIRST BASE
Max Muncy, LAD vs. COL ($13): It's hard to see Muncy not starting, as Marquez is much worse against lefty bats with a .337 wOBA allowed. Muncy also took Marquez deep back in May (in Los Angeles) and has a .319 ISO and .409 wOBA against righty hurlers this year.
SECOND BASE
Daniel Murphy, CHC vs. MIL ($14): As long as there's a righty on the mound, Murphy can get on base as seen in a .359 OBP, .191 ISO and .370 wOBA. The Brewers may try and run through their bullpen, but Murphy has a hit in his last 10 games and that's at least enticing even though he's struggled against Milwaukee this year.
THIRD BASE
Mike Moustakas, MIL at CHC ($15): This is going against my pitching recommendation, but Moustakas is one of Milwaukee's only bats that's shown power against Quintana. He has six extra-base hits (3 HR) in 46 at-bats against Quintana and while their numbers don't support a lefty-lefty matchup, he could end up being a nice differential in GPP.
SHORTSTOP
Hernan Perez, MIL at CHC ($7): I don't think the other shortstops are worth the high price and Perez should start over Orlando Arcia ($8) given their numbers. Perez has Milwaukee's best average against Quintana at 8-for-25, while Arcia doesn't have a hit in 18 at-bats. Perez could get on base, but that still won't hurt Quintana's overall fantasy performance if you use him.
OUTFIELD
Kyle Schwarber, CHC vs. MIL ($16): Schwarber only has power against righties, but Milwaukee can't throw a lefty on the mound every time he's up. He's also been one of Chicago's more consistent bats as of late with a .377 OBP in his last 61 plate appearances.
Enrique Hernandez, LAD vs. COL ($15): Hernandez is on a nice run with a .419 OBP in his last 44 plate appearances against righty arms in addition to a .237 ISO for the season. He also went 1-for-3 with a homer in his only game against Marquez this year. Marquez struggles more against lefties, but it's hard to go with Cody Bellinger ($12), who is 1-for-15 in his career against Marquez. Hernandez is at least roping with three hits in each of the last three games.
Joc Pederson, LAD vs. COL ($11): Pederson should make the lineup as a lefty that's had decent success against Marquez with two homers and a double in 10 at-bats. That's Pederson's main selling point along with a cool .295 ISO and .373 wOBA against righty arms this season. Marquez strikes out lefties less (21.5 K%) and that should help Pederson even more.
