Tough to be on some good teams last night and just the wrong bats for me personally. We look at a good mid week slate tonight with quite a few offensive spots and some a game which I see as bad chalk (LAA/TEX) WEATHER No games appear to have any PPD risk tonight due to weather. Roof likely closed in Texas Oracle Park burning down Roof likely open in Arizona …. wait… what? Yep. Oracle Park (San Francisco) is currently fine but the entire sky is Orange/Brown and the air quality has to be put into question. I’d say this game is at risk of PPD due to … a … um … well, a gender reveal party…. In a normal season we wouldn’t be paying up for pitching in September anymore. We don’t pay for pitching in April and we don’t pay for pitching in September and there’s various reasons why for that. This isn’t a normal season so I am still going to look at the studs going today but I’m also a little cautious down the stretch about forcing in higher $ guys who are projecting to be pitching come October… Just food for thought. Trevor Bauer The difference in price between Bauer and Darvish today isn’t that big of a deal in my mind. So it comes down to which guy in this game with winds blowing in again you trust more and for me that is Bauer. Which, for anyone who has read me over the years is pretty much the least shocking thing considering I am just not a Darvish fan. That said, Yu has been fantastic and is equally good but there’s a few pitch type aspects in this game tonight which favor Bauer and so I will go there. The Cubs do walk more than the Reds, but Bauer is always going over 100 pitches, so that’s not a concern today. Dane Dunning I still do not trust Dane Dunning over the long haul but this is a very ideal spot to like the White Sox young pitcher. He’s going to get the run support tonight from their lineup against Brubaker and he’s getting so much swinging strikes that I believe he’ll get enough strikeout points through 5 innings to easily lock him in as your SP2 on DraftKings today. Zach Davies I’m not confident Davies will get close…...
